Persuasion and Negotiation (4)

After the conversation ended, Julia left the mansion immediately.

Schnella seemed a little surprised by the sudden turning, but obediently followed her.

Did he notice that Julia was agitated?

A quick-witted Schnella would definitely notice.

“My lord. Did anything special happen?”

“Nothing happened.”

“Julia’s complexion was not good. “If there was any conflict… “

“It’s not like that, so don’t worry.”

Even so, I expected Julia to disagree with me.

But just as much as I needed Julia’s support, she also needed me.

At the very least, it will be in the direction of coordinating opinions.

I will not choose to ignore my claims.

“Anyway, let’s go in and rest. Because there is nothing to do in the future.”

I took a break for a month, at least because of Julia.

In the meantime, I’ll have to recover my stamina and get in shape.

“…Where is Erina?”

As I was going back to the room, I noticed that Erina was not there.

The girl who always followed me by my side has disappeared.

This is the first time since I came to this world.

“I don’t know either. “He disappeared while I went to talk to Yulia.”

“I even saw you go up to the second floor.”

When Erina disappeared, I felt anxious.

Maybe I’m doing something strange somewhere you can’t see.

I quickly went upstairs and called Erina’s name.

“Erina. “Where is it?”

There was no reply.

There was no one on this floor until a little while ago, when Julia and I were talking.

I opened my room just in case, and Erina was hiding there.

She was even waiting wearing a white wedding dress.

“Erina. “What are you doing here?”

“…I’m just waiting in my room.”

“This is my room.”

“It’s my room too.”

In the past, he asked to share a room, but I forbade him.

But Erina didn’t seem to have any intention of moving rooms.

Even though her luggage had been moved to the room yesterday, it had now been restored to its original state.

It was clear that the luggage had been returned during the brief disappearance.

In the meantime, waiting in a wedding dress had too many intentions.

“Erina. Go back to your room.”

“This is my room.”

“It’s not here, it’s the room across from us.”

“…”

Erina remains steadfast with her mouth tightly shut.

No matter how much I pushed, she didn’t seem to want to move even a single step.

Then Kayla, who followed, stepped forward and raised her voice.

“Erina. “This is my lord’s order.”

“…”

“Please return to Erina’s room quickly.”

“…Shut up.”

Did you think I wouldn’t hear you if you whispered softly?

It was obvious that if left like this, the two would fight again.

I had no choice but to send Kayla out for a while and talk to Erina alone.

“Kayla. “Please leave for a moment.”

“…Yes.”

Even with a disapproving expression, Kayla obediently retreated.

I completely understood the feeling of dissatisfaction, but there was nothing I could do.

When the door closed and we were alone, Erina cautiously approached me.

“Why are you trying to push me away…”

He even cried in a pitiful voice.

If someone saw me, I might look like a bad person.

At this point, I started to get confused as to whether it was serious or an act.

“Look at this. “You gave me a pretty dress…”

The clothes I was given as a gift were wedding dresses.

Even though she was wearing it, a slightly embarrassing situation arose.

“Erina. “You know why I scold you.”

“…I don’t know.”

What a consistent answer. Erina never acknowledged it.

Is it right for me to give up at this level?

But in order to continue to be by my side, Erina had to change.

“Do you feel sorry for Tyria?”

“Why another woman…”

“Tyria was really sad. “I lost my friend right before my eyes.”

“I just killed the Spirit King…!”

Erina must also feel aggrieved.

Nie was Tyria’s enemy before she was her friend.

It couldn’t be said that what she did was completely wrong.

But if you think about what Erina has done so far.

It was absolutely not something that could be overlooked.

Erina was ruining my work very cleverly.

Things that escaped my control often happened.

Her luggage had already been moved to my room, and there was no sense in putting it back now.

I had no choice but to take a step back.

“Okay. Okay. “Let’s share a room.”

“Really… ?”

“Instead, let’s use separate beds. “Let’s get a bed from another room.”

No matter how much I thought about it, it was difficult to get Erina to use another room.

So, we decided to agree to just use separate beds.

Fortunately, Erina’s expression brightened as if she understood.

“But don’t come into my bed. Especially when I sleep.”

“Yes. I understand.”

Erina answered right away, but will she really keep her promise?

He probably won’t crawl into bed today, but he’ll stay quiet for the next month.

That couldn’t have been possible. No matter what method is used, Erina will try to go back to the way it was before.

With the intention of preventing that much, I allowed Erina to enter the room.

***

“So how was it organized?”

“In the end, Erina ended up sharing a room with her lord.”

Tyria sighed and placed her head on her forehead.

I definitely thought Seohyun had made up her mind this time.

In the end, he always showed a finite attitude in front of Erina.

“I have no intention of opposing Seohyun’s decision. But… “Sometimes I don’t understand.”

“…”

“Why is Seohyun only gentle with Erina? “Is there a weakness?”

No matter how much Tyria thought about it, she couldn’t understand.

Just like herself, Kayla was trying every day to earn Seohyun’s trust and affection.

But what about Erina?

Even if I made him suffer and committed unexpected actions, he got away with it.

I thought I was properly scolded this time, but even that didn’t last long.

‘It’s unfair… ‘

A small dissatisfaction was brewing in Tyria, who was secretly harboring affection for her.

On the other hand, Kayla kept her mouth shut without saying anything.

“Kayla. “You’ve been with Seohyun for a long time.”

“…Only half a year.”

“But you watched Erina and Seohyun the longest.”

The reason why Seohyun is particularly weak to Erina.

Kayla already knew the reason.

But I couldn’t tell Tyria.

Kayla didn’t know exactly what a game was.

However, Erina knew that Seohyun had created it herself.

‘Maybe I won’t be able to catch up with Erina for the rest of my life… ‘

As time passed, I gradually lost confidence.

I thought I was a little ahead when I shared the wedding rings.

After Erina received a wedding dress as a gift yesterday, she lost the lead again.

“Tyria. My lord plans to embrace Erina for the rest of his life.”

“…I don’t understand.”

While Tyria shook her head, Kayla stood up with a gloomy look.

Seohyun was still with Erina.

Kayla wanted to go into the room right away, but she couldn’t disobey orders.

While the two were lost in worry, Celica sat at the table, watching.

“Are you finished talking with Seohyun…?”

“Okay. It has been decided that Erina will share Seohyun’s room again.”

“…As expected, it happened like that.”

Celica nodded as if she had already expected it.

Considering what had happened so far, it was only natural.

And Celica said the truth that no one could deny.

“Because without Erina, the party is dangerous.”

No matter how much I hated Erina, most of the credit went to her.

In fact, even if all three’s performances were combined, they could not be compared to Erina.

Not only did he defeat numerous monsters and take on the snow maiden, he also took down two of the Four Great Blades.

That’s because Erina absolutely hates going public.

In fact, she was the person who should be evaluated most highly at the party.

“Seohyun, there’s nothing you can do about it. “If there is a conflict with Erina, the party will be in jeopardy.”

“…That is correct.”

Tyria nodded as if she was convinced.

Of course, Kayla knew that was only half true.

Celica was definitely right.

‘If my lord is not swayed by Erina.’

If only he could become stronger than Erina and push Erina away.

Although it is virtually impossible, just imagining it filled me with joy.

“The conclusion hasn’t changed. “I have no choice but to train every day.”

“Okay. After heading to the Demon World, I have to accumulate achievements.”

Although Celica and Tyria did not find out the truth, they ended up on a positive note.

I had to train and train every day to make sure I didn’t get pushed out by Erina.

So the two people decided to go into special training with determination.

Seeing that, Kayla felt a sense of stability in her heart.

‘I’m really glad.’

Meeting Celica and Tyria and becoming friends.

If it hadn’t been for my master’s recommendation, I probably wouldn’t have approached him first

“Then let’s start today. “How about Kayla?”

“I don’t care.”

The three people stood up in unison and headed to the garden to train.

Three days after arriving in the capital.

Everyone was busy and spending their holidays.
