Chapter 375 – Count Dritna -1-
“Kitty. There is no purpose of going to the estate for marriage or to announce my existence, right?”
“Even if it is a family, not everyone in the family supports me, and there are people who are different from me or who speak lightly… I plan to first inherit the title and then give notice by getting married.”
Eclair’s location does not require permission from the family, but rather allows for unilateral notification.
In order to secure her position as the next head of the family amid her busy daily life.
During this visit, I intended to correct the family discipline that had become loose due to excessive honor and luxury.
“It’s the best because it’s hot.”
It is clearly visible to Roman who is looking down.
It is so beautiful and cool that you want to boast about it while shouting from the top of the mountain.
Her face showed determination and firmness with no intention of backing down. The gaze that clearly contained those emotions was trustworthy and good.
“Roman will feel it if he lists the situation in words. Even if he is a platinum adventurer… If word spreads through the mouths of others, including the count and his younger brother, as a result, a sister from a knight’s family becomes the wife of an adventurer. Isn’t that true?”
“Yes?”
“If you don’t discourage them in advance and force them to do something, it will cause trouble. You will know that among the knights, there are people who think they are more honorable and greater than any other adventurer.”
“···I understand what you’re worried about.”
The types of people Eclair refers to are not just knights.
There are so many on the continent that I’ve been looking at them to the point of boredom.
“In addition, the majority who believe they are special because they are born with blue blood become stronger the more they are embedded in a territory where they enjoy absolute power.”
Roman immediately nodded her head.
She has been through a lot in that direction, so if she says so, that’s it.
Dritna forces a marriage with her sister.
I somehow started to get excited by the reality that the eclair was spitting out and reminding me of.
“I’m used to and okay with rumors being loud, but when noise starts to occur around my woman, I can’t say that it’s okay or that I’ll leave it alone, even if it’s just empty words.”
“Actually, suppressing it won’t be difficult. Still…”
“Still?”
“I don’t want something like that to ruin my happy once-in-a-lifetime day. That’s all.”
Roman, in her own perception, felt that they were the real protagonists of the wedding.
I felt that what Eclair was paying attention to was more important than anything else.
“···What can I help you with?”
“It’s enough to just watch over me and support me from behind. I’m happy that you’re giving it serious consideration, but don’t look so serious.”
When Roman asked in a low voice, Eclair relaxed her stiff expression and smiled.
Before she wrinkled her lips, she smiled, and then, in reverse, her hands gripped Roman’s buttocks tightly.
A pleasant silence where only the sound of breathing fills the mansion.
Eclair, who felt secure in her arms through her sense of smell and touch, lifted her moist, shiny lips.
“Roman, there’s one more thing I’d like to ask your opinion on. Is that okay?”
“Of course it’s okay. I want to hear it, so tell me.”
Every time Eclair shows off her extraordinary appearance, wanting to receive her opinion, a flashback to her silver sweet potato past comes to mind.
It’s funny to say that it was a long time ago, but compared to that day, it’s truly a quantum leap forward.
“I am hesitant about accompanying Chloe as I have a reason to go to the estate. Of course, it is not for the reason that I view Chloe as young…”
“Do I have to show my rough side?”
She nodded her head in response to Roman’s briefly abbreviated question.
“That’s true, but from my perspective, if the discussion between me and my parents gets too long, Chloe will have to just sit back and watch.”
“Besides, Kitty has a tendency to feel soft when Chloe sees her… Well, wouldn’t it be better to go with her when she announces the marriage? If Chloe wants to meet her parents, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
“If there is no definite answer, I will talk to Chloe.”
“Good idea. Conversation is best.”
Eclair, who became Roman’s lover and became infinitely closer to Chloe, was creating a habit of resolving concerns and concerns that did not immediately give a clear answer in a different way than in the past.
To not go astray like before and to not make mistakes in precious relationships.
When faced with a situation that causes repeated conflict, she confides in Roman, Chloe, and the family at her mansion and tries to look at the problem from various perspectives.
“Whoa…”
“If anything happens, I will take care of it all. Rest easy. Rest easy.”
Eclair’s stomach feels relieved at Roman’s sympathy and comfort.
From the day I realized that letting her voice out the feelings and problems that cause frustration was the ultimate cure. I feel like I’m just throwing a tantrum in Roman’s arms.
‘···Even if I am a knight or something, my natural nature is to be a woman with great fantasies and desires for the emotion of love.’
The past days, when she thought it was because she was immature to worry, have long since been erased from her memory.
She spent her time snuggling on her lover’s chest.
She sensed Lilyne and Alice entering the mansion’s yard and asked about the emerging agenda.
“This is a unique case, but when do you plan on meeting Alice’s parents?”
“For now, I’m going to go after I finish the annoying things this time. Who would like it if a man with a dark cloud on his face due to worry comes to see her and tries to take her daughter.”
After hearing her answer, Eclair poked her lover’s cheek with her finger and showed a mischievous smile.
“Hehe – it’s not wrong if you consider the parents’ point of view. Alice has a loveliness that shows she grew up receiving affection. Considering her bubbly cuteness and charm, from her parents’ point of view, Roman is a thief. I can feel it.”
“Do you know what the real problem is? It’s understandable if Alice’s parents say that.”
“Still, there is no man like Roman in the world, so there will be no other result than permission.”
“If you don’t think it will work out… You should at least stand on your head in front of the house until they give you permission.”
It ends with a joke where everyone laughs loudly.
Before the two people who returned from grocery shopping opened the door and came in.
After kissing briefly and exchanging affection, the two held hands and headed toward the entrance.

That evening.
Dritna and her sisters lay on one bed and talked comfortably.
Should I say it is as expected? Should I say it was unexpected?
Chloe was ready to confront her parents if only for the purpose of revealing her relationship with Roman.
Eclair, who felt great pride, calmly continued her explanation, and Chloe understood exactly what her sister was trying to say.
In the end, this visit was not to announce a marriage or relationship, but for Eclair to inherit the throne of the Dritna family.
Thanks to Chloe’s accurate understanding of eclairs, the conversation came to a conclusion quickly.
Once her decision was made, her sister acted even faster.
The very next day.
Eclair moved with Innocence on his chest and a sword he had used since the past on his waist.
As soon as I got off work, I left the building at a fast pace. At the hour when the sun was going down he moved through the gate.
The ambiguous distance that must be covered by carriage was covered by a bridge, and the territory was reached before the sun completely set.
Eclair, seeing the mansion with the lights on, let out an inexplicable sigh.
‘How soon will it be coming?’
I can’t remember the exact date.
The only thing that remains in my head is the memory of the headache I had from the luxury items I visited the last time.
Widely. Widely. Widely. Tak.
As Eclair approaches the entrance to the mansion, kicking the floor with his shoes.
The eyes of the guards guarding the door opened brightly.
“Well, meet you, Eclair Dritna!”
“It’s okay. It’s urgent, so open the door.”
“···Open the door!”
The guards holding the thick iron gate moved their hands and feet, trying to keep their heads in check.
Sigh -!
Before the front door was fully open, Eclair was on his feet and crossing his yard.
The rustling grass is being stepped on.
Eclair frowned at the change in the garden from last time, pushed open the door, and stormed inside.
“Is Joshua there?”
At the same time, the door opened wide as if it would be broken by Eclair’s strength.
Let’s appear out of nowhere, calling the butler’s name.
The knights and servants who heard her voice and saw her appearance shut her mouth tightly and lowered their eyes while showing respect.
“Eclair… Welcome!”
As Joshua, who came running in a huff, lowered his head, Eclair looked around the inside of her mansion and raised her voice.
“I stopped by for a moment. What about the head of the family?”
“He is currently in the Oval Office.”
Eclair, who restrained her from entering her message, moved her body directly and climbed her stairs.
As she came up one floor, she was greeted by her artwork, which she had seen for the first time.
“This picture is something you’ve never seen before.”
“Ah!! I thought the famous Eclair would recognize it with his discerning eye! It’s a work by the famous artist Flaco Lamberti! The head of the family went a long way and went through great trouble to get it after hearing a rumor that it was being sold at auction.”
Joshua, who was following behind her, became excited and gave a detailed explanation.
She touched a nerve.
“Ha···.”
With a sigh, Eclair placed her hand on her sword.
Clap -!
The scabbard spit out a razor-sharp blade.
Next, Eclair’s hesitating slash passed without a sound.
The gorgeous painting and the frame that held it fell into pieces and fell to the floor.
“Eh, Eclair…?!”
Joshua, who was watching the situation with his own eyes, was embarrassed and froze in his seat.
Everyone around them stopped walking and breathing.
Eclair paid no heed and raised her sword and struck it like a thunderbolt.
Kaaang -!!!
Planting her sword in the floor, Eclair pointed at Joshua, spreading a chill that froze her muscles.
“Bring all the ledgers that record your financial transactions. Meeting the head of the family comes next.”
