Chapter 434 – Half Excited and Half Worried

Among the knights lined up holding the red flagpole symbolizing the empire.

Eclair got off his strong warhorse and approached with measured steps.

Movement without a single clanking noise despite wearing shiny armor.

The unique sharp momentum stimulated Varian’s instincts and made him nervous.

“The Silver Wing Knights that protect the imperial family of the Harun Empire. I am Eclair Dritna, the leader.”

“Undeservedly, I am Varian, who is in charge of the administration of the Bolasen Federation.”

After exchanging greetings in their own way.

Eclair glanced at the carriage lined up behind the knights.

“The road leading to the meeting venue is not smooth, so I am leaving for duty.”

“Thank you for welcoming us here. No matter how many gates there are, you can come all the way from the capital to the border.”

Fake words were passed around as if they were set procedures or scripts.

After the seemingly superficial time passed, Eclair immediately got to the point.

“There is a gate that is operated for official purposes just two hills over from here. I would like to lead you there.”

“Hmm… This is the first time I’ve heard of an official gate around here. Is it okay if you make it public?”

“After today, this is an item that is once again in a dormant state, so we are even allowed to disclose it.”

Characters who do not want to ride a carriage do not have to ride.

It’s not a long way, so if you want to fly to relieve the discomfort, you can fly and follow along.

The Imperial Knights will move at the front on horseback, so it’s okay to run.

Eclair explained that each person should choose their own preferred method, rather than the framework of the empire’s humans.

Varian expressed his gratitude to Eclair again, saying that he was surprised by the complete change in treatment compared to the past.

“You showed a lot of care. I was actually worried that the condition of those who followed me might worsen if they rode the carriage.”

“I’m glad you like it. There are still many shortcomings, so if there is room for improvement, please feel free to let me know.”

In the meantime, Roman is feeling it. I felt like I was going to burst out laughing.

Even while Eclair is talking to Varian, his senses are only focused on him.

He never gave his attention here, but his attention was focused on himself.

‘It’s really cute.’

Kitty’s work is extremely charming and dazzlingly beautiful.

As I looked at it, I felt like the strength I was holding to keep the corners of her mouth from raising would disappear.

A crisis that makes you feel like you’re wandering around in a daze if you lose your mind.

Tuk.

Atra, who had kept her silence, tilted her head and gave Roman’s arm a gentle push.

A movement that feels somehow emotional. Roman bent down and asked in a low voice.

“What’s going on?”

“···.”

“Atra?”

“···.”

No answer. The saint did not lift her gaze from her floor.

Roman tried to talk more, but Eclair, who had finished talking with Varian, came striding towards him.

“Saint. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Brother Roman went through a hard time, but I didn’t feel like I was going through a hard time.”

Only then did Atra raise her head and exchange greetings with Eclair with a complicated smile.

“It seemed like even the church was worried.”

“I sent as many letters as I could when I had time, but I think they were surprised because the agenda was so sudden.”

“Still, in my personal opinion, it seems like things have been sorted out to some extent within the church. Above all, I’m glad that the saint is healthy.”

“It is thanks to you, brother… For faithfully carrying out the guard.”

Glancing.

Eclair’s eyes looked at Roman next to Atra and then checked the surroundings.

Since she was with a saint, there were quite a few eyes on her, so she lowered her voice as much as possible.

Roman, who has sensitive hearing, would have difficulty hearing it.

“···Where are you injured?”

“Not at all. Is everyone okay?”

Nod with understanding and affirmation.

Eclair’s feet, which pushed the dirt away with a crackling sound, unconsciously turned slightly toward Roman.

“”···.””

From the moment we met, it seemed like we were going crazy.

Having to force down the emotions that were building up to the point of exploding was a pain in itself. I felt like my patience was being tested.

Endure. Be patient. I endure it somehow.

If it weren’t for Eclair’s work, he would immediately throw himself into his lover’s arms.

He wants to spend time listening to sweet words from Roman, who is the only person in the world who can be silly.

Roman also wanted to hug Eclair tightly and make her feel good, but since he was at work, there was a lot of snow outside.

I never wanted to reveal the special reactions my lovers showed to outsiders.

Because it is entirely mine and my own treasure.

“”Phew…””

Roman and Eclair took deep breaths at the same time and exchanged glances, promising for the future.

I continued my work.

“We have prepared a separate carriage for the saint. The carriage you are riding in will be protected in the center of the line.”

“···.”

“Why are you doing that? Are you in an uncomfortable place?”

“No. I was sorry… Thank you for preparing.”

Eclair takes a step closer and lets out a worried voice.

Atra, feeling everything as she was sandwiched between her lover, pursed her lips and shook her head.

‘Is this right. That’s right.’

Atra is a complete outsider here. She only realized that her reliance on kindness was selfish and that she should not be carried or carried by Roman.

Her own seat was taken by her carriage. This is correct.

“If you need anything, please feel free to tell our members. If you have any problems, you can stop the carriage at any time.”

“Thank you for caring me.”

The realization that I had to move with my butt pressed against a cold steel chair, rather than the warm and comforting embrace of Roman.

‘···It hurts.’

Situations like this happen naturally. So even though there was time to prepare to strengthen her heart.

The psychological shock was greater than expected. I just felt like my heart was being torn apart.

However, she is aware that she should not show it.

“Roman. Please do not make the saintess uncomfortable.”

“Because I’m an adventurer. I have to do my best when it comes to requests.”

“Hmm. I believe it.”

If Eclair, Roman’s lover, shows clear favor without any doubt like now.

Because she realizes how ugly her greed is.

“Saint.”

“Yes?”

Eclair stayed close to Atra and took out her letter that she had in her arms.

“This is a letter from Ricke to the saint.”

“Sister Ricke…?”

To Atra, who looked confused, Eclair continued to explain in a whispering voice.

“It may be irresponsible and unflattering for someone whose main job is to write, but I trust Ricke, so I did not pre-screen the content.”

I can feel the unwavering faith in Eclair’s red eyes.

“I will take responsibility in some way if it contains content that would make the saintess uncomfortable. If you don’t mind, would you please accept it?”

“I also trust Sister Rike, so you don’t have to worry.”

Eclair bowed his head and said thank you for trusting him.

After handing Roman the bundle of letters, he returned to his seat and climbed into the saddle on his horse.

The knights had connected the carriages that would be used by other races except the dragon race and were ready to leave.

Atra watched this for a moment and then walked towards the carriage with Roman.

‘What on earth is the relationship between brothers and sisters?’

It’s not just Roman and Eclair. Everyone involved was amazing.

I don’t know what the internal structure of living together is, but dating on the premise of marriage feels completely different from the polygamy that Atra has observed so far.

The women do not fight or have awkward relationships with each other. On the contrary, it was like a family like something out of a fairy tale book.

With that in mind, take each step.

Squeak.

“Thank you.”

After opening the carriage door with one hand and thanking Roman for waiting, Atra went inside and sat down inside her.

Across from her was Roman, unpacking her backpack.

“I heard it’s not far, but if you’re tired, you can sleep on the way.”

“I’ve been resting a lot lately, so I don’t feel like I’m sleep deprived.”

The cute letters in Roman’s hand caught Atra’s attention.

“···Is this a letter from the sisters?”

“That’s right. It’s my first time being away like this, so I think everyone is worried.”

“Okay···.”

The sight of Roman smiling brightly without hiding anything.

A sullen Atra was fiddling with the letter that Ricke had written, and was realizing that her good days were over.

– Let’s go!

The carriage moves with the powerful voice of someone presumed to be a member of the Knights Templar.

Roman sighed as the sound of wheels shattered the silence.

“I never thought Rike would write her letter to her saint.”

“I never expected you to write a letter to me either.”

“Eclair said it would take responsibility, but if there is a problem with the content, it is my fault.”

He said that if there was any room for spark in the letter, he, the head of the family, would take responsibility, not Eclair.

Atra, who was looking blankly at the letter in her hand at Roman’s words, asked.

“···Is it okay if I read it here?”

“Of course. But since it’s a moving carriage, you have to be careful not to make yourself dizzy.”

Atra smiled at Roman’s advice and opened the envelope neatly.

She opened her letter, half excited and half worried.
