Became the Escort Knight of the Villain in the Romance Novel

113 – Smoothly (3)

“How long are you going to stay like this?”

Irene, who was looking at the documents in front of the desk, pursed her lips.

Her shoulders trembled at the breath she felt on the back of her back, but her flushed cheeks didn’t seem to dislike the action.

What do you do when others see you?

As Irene sat on Evan’s lap and rolled her legs, Evan smiled and hugged Irene’s stomach.

“You do what you always do. Never mind me.”

“…How could I not care. Really, not even a kid.”

Unlike before, Irene let out a deep sigh at Evan’s blatant mischief.

Lately, I’ve been paying attention to my stomach because it seems to have gotten a little heavy. Maybe I’ve gained some weight.

When Evan found out, what would she do?

Irene’s body trembled as she felt the hot breath on the nape of her neck.

She covered her mouth when she almost let out a moan, and Evan smiled behind her and looked at her Irene.

“Evan, if you keep doing that, I will get angry.”

“Okay. Shall we go down?”

“…That’s it. That’s Okay. It stays like this. You know what else to do when you get out of here.”

No matter how formally they were dating, I couldn’t be completely relieved because I had seen the behavior of some ladies-in-waiting.

A girl named Lisé believed that too, but in the end, didn’t she have feelings for Evan?

Although she quit her handmaid job a while ago and left,

Irene couldn’t help but look at her ladies-in-waiting with a little uneasiness.

One thing I could completely trust was Lopena, but I could trust the rest in terms of publicity.

She wasn’t very trustworthy when it came to how she felt about Evan.

Irene wanted to keep Evan by her side as much as possible, as even Lopena took a short vacation and went to enjoy the seasonal festival with Chris.

Chris, Irene, who recalled her name, looked at her papers on her desk for a moment, then she opened her mouth to Evan.

“It’s already been a week since Sir Chris retired. I thought she would do it a little longer… Aren’t you disappointed?”

At the sound of a week, Evan quietly looked out the window for a while.

She shook her head slowly and pursed her lips. Has she been a week already?

She

When she first heard of her retirement, she was a little embarrassed, but

I just wanted Sir Chris to live a little happier.

Well, since she retired, she doesn’t stop by here every day.

I heard that the duke might give Sir Chris an honorary title, so maybe I’ll see him as usual.

“When I said I was retiring, I said everything I wanted to say. Now Chris can do what he wants and he can live.”

“From the beginning, I cared for Lopena. To the extent that anyone who sees it may mistakenly assume that she is a hidden granddaughter. She comes to see Lopena every day… I don’t know how she ever lived hiding something like that before.”

At that, Evan quietly affirmed. Maybe she got married without their knowledge and even saw her granddaughter.

She had been seeing him for quite some time, but her attachment to Lopena was something she could not easily understand.

If it’s like that for all young children, you’d think it’s just liking children. You are so kind only to Lopena.

He was frankly upset, but he was willing to move on softly in the sense that none other than Sir Chris was like that.

Besides, the most important thing right now wasn’t like that.

Evan narrowed his eyes as he recalled the letter he had received from the crown prince a few days ago.

[You didn’t know the word at all. Maybe it’s just an illusion. In order to interpret dragon words, shouldn’t there be something called dragon blood? Other than Freed, I’ve never heard of dragon blood, so I’m sure that’s just a misconception.]

Scarlett’s letter saying she doesn’t know dragon words,

In the letter sent by the crown prince, who became very friendly with Scarlett at the request of Evan and the emperor,

Evan’s head was completely confused.

Why can’t Scarlett, who used the dragon language normally in the original work, not be able to use it?

There is only a 3-month difference at most from the original film, but Scarlett’s appearance, which shows so many differences, was awkward in many ways.

‘I need to find out what the red moon means…’

How can someone who is not extinct understand the meaning of it?

Even Biltain didn’t tell me what the red moon was until the end.

All we can guess is that the ancient dragon Mabet will be resurrected from then on,

Evan decided that it would be better to discard the contents of the original work, which had been the standard for judgment.

From the beginning, so many things have changed. This wasn’t even the point of the original,

I don’t know what the reason was, but it was worth considering that the original and current world are completely different.

Since the prince who met Scarlett doesn’t have any emotions, isn’t that a twist?

Tak. As Evan’s hand fell on the table while he was deep in thought, Irene gently stroked it and looked at Evan.

With his free hand resting on his chin, he looks deep into the air, deep in thought.

This kind of person that any woman would find attractive is her own lover.

Irene’s hand ran her Evan’s neckline as she savored the sight that somehow felt unreal.

Swoop – Evan, who was lost in thought, was slightly surprised by the touch and turned her head.

Irene smiled and closed her eyes as she leaned her head against Evan’s chest.

With less than three months left until the total lunar eclipse, how much time can we enjoy?

However, even while enjoying this leisure time, Evan and she had many things to do for themselves,

Resting like this was all I could do.

The ring on the open finger and the ring finger glistened in the sunlight.

If everything related to extinction ends safely… What will happen next?

She had never really thought about her future before, so Irene felt very awkward about herself thinking about her future.

She thinks that every day is boring, and she struggles to live day by day.

It seems like yesterday that she was not interested in anything and she just lived her life waiting for the day she would die.

Aren’t you adding some fun to this life now?

As her outstretched hand overlapped her Evan’s hand, the ring that was in her same spot clashed and resonated with a clear sound.

It’s been several months since she’s worn this ring, but now, even if she tried to take it off, it wouldn’t come off easily.

I did not wish for the day to come when I would take this ring off,

Won’t the day come when the shape of this ring changes?

Recently, she keeps thinking about marriage, whether she thinks only of herself,

Or did she think Evan did too? Irene wondered.

Evan couldn’t imagine what she would look like without her by his side. She

She also didn’t know that she was so impatient because she didn’t have the confidence to endure it.

Perhaps he wants to bear fruit properly after all the big events in front of him are over.

Like the end of a fairy tale, Irene smiled quietly as she recalled the ending of a fairy tale she hadn’t read.

How funny it was when I heard that there might be a children’s book about himself and Evan.

I was a bit ashamed and embarrassed.

Perhaps, like the ending of that fairy tale, the desire for everything to end settled in a corner of Irene’s heart.

“I lived a long, long time…happily.”

Irene lifted her head in surprise at the words she had unknowingly said.

I was wondering if Evan would hear and question me,

Suddenly, close range patted her hair while smiling lightly at Evan sleeping while exhaling her breath.

When does she fall asleep? She sits like this and falls asleep. Although she felt a little resentful,

Irene forgave Evan and quietly leaned her head again.

A lot more leaves than a few days ago were falling to the ground.

The branches of the tree, who had put down their colorful clothes before they knew it, were swaying in the wind,

Above that desolate landscape, a completely opposite blue sky covered the world.

Hoo-wook-

The cold wind blowing tickled her cheeks, and Irene rubbed her slightly reddened face and gently closed her eyes.

To enjoy a little bit of this leisure time, and to enjoy this time with Evan a little more.

Soon, the sound of breathing filled the room, and the windows that had been shaking in the wind slammed shut.

The slightly pulled back curtain accidentally blocks the sunlight that seeps into the eyes of the two of them.

Eventually, all that could be heard in the darkened room was, unfortunately, only shallow breathing, completely overlapping.

#

Hatan. And Therazane and Freed.

These were the only three families that were clearly suspected to be related to extinction.

The rest have either been completely wiped out or their true intentions are unclear.

In a private meeting with Evan, the emperor specified that the first seven families would be Hatan.

Hatan, because it was a family often called the shadow of the empire, was simply considered an excellent place to gather information.

Evan was well aware that they weren’t just great at gathering information.

‘Because among the men who were involved with the female protagonist, there was also the heir of Hatan.’

However, the subjugation of Hatan did not happen immediately. The most urgent thing is the reorganization of the Imperial Knights,

And since it was to settle the public sentiment of Evangelium, the ecliptic, there probably wouldn’t be a big event in October, which heralded the beginning of winter.

Annihilation also showed no signs of moving.

The only thing you can do in such a situation right now is to watch the situation and prepare.

Irene, who was examining the edict received from the emperor, frowned as she sipped a darjeeling.

October was relaxed. However, Evan’s birthday is in early November…

If you want to give a present, it would be better to give it before then, but what kind of gift should you choose?

Lopena, who was staring at Irene, put her chocolate in her mouth and mumbled.

Now I can tell what he’s worried about just by looking at his expression.

Even though her expression looked so serious, Lofena quickly realized that she was thinking about Evan after all.

Well…No matter how you look at it, isn’t it like worrying about a birthday present?

Since you yourself have been thinking about that too,

It was only natural that the young lady, the knight’s lover, would worry about such things.

“Are you thinking about gifts?”

As Pena said as she swallowed her chocolate, Irene naturally nodded her head.

She then looked at Pena with her eyes narrowed, startled.

The wavering eyes meant how did you know even if anyone saw it?

Lofena shrugged and mumbled as she stuffed another piece of chocolate into her mouth.

“Does it show that much…”

“If it wasn’t for me, you probably wouldn’t notice. It’s me, so I recognize it, and other people won’t notice.”

“Then it’s fortunate.”

Irene’s gaze turned to Lo Pena, Lo Pena swallowed her chocolate and opened her mouth.

“I haven’t decided what gift to give you yet. And in the first place, I only gave them food every day.”

“…I’m worried. What to give I’ve given you gifts as a master and servant, but this is the first time I’ve given you as a lover.”

“How about flowers?”

It’s a flower. Irene shook her head, thinking that she wouldn’t be bad at all.

For example, the flower language of a black rose meant that it was mine forever.

If given to Evan, in one way or another, it could have been a pretty decent present.

However, to present flowers in front of her face, wouldn’t she have lost her own dignity?

Her name is the owner of the cow of Julis, and she presents at most one of her flowers to her lover. She didn’t mind if someone snorted at her when she heard it.

Evan wasn’t interested in giving expensive accessories, though.

She had already given her swords and Noble Phantasms, so she couldn’t think of anything appropriate.

Irene, holding her throbbing head for a moment, sighed and fell over on her table.

Lopena, who was looking at Irene in pity, opened her mouth.

“The knight will say it’s okay even if the lady doesn’t give you any presents. Do not worry too much.”

“Still, if Evan gets disappointed inside, I…”

Lophena furrowed her eyebrows at the sight of Irene.

No matter how much she is a lover, what will she do if she shows a soft side to the knight like this.

He said he wanted to take the initiative and shake it someday,

Lo Pena resolutely crossed her arms at the appearance of her young lady, who hadn’t changed even after dating her.

“My lady, you still have a lot of time. It’s not a bad idea to think a little slower. And what did the young lady get from the driver for her birthday present? She has to match and present. No matter how much you are a knight-“

Hearing that it was her birthday present, Irene carefully took out her necklace.

Realizing the value of her necklace, Lopena shut her mouth.

An expensive necklace that even the nobles cannot easily purchase.

Moreover, it was the only necklace in the world made by Irene’s favorite designer,

If it wasn’t for Evan, she was also something that couldn’t be obtained.

“Umm…Uh.”

Certainly, if it was a gift like that, it wouldn’t be strange for the young lady to worry.

Lopena, who couldn’t find the answer she deserved, shook her head and tried to divert the subject.

It is said that gifts can be thought about slowly,

Evan said that he didn’t want the young lady to feel burdened, so Irene gave her a small nod.

Lopena let out a sigh of relief inside her heart and sat down on her couch, wiping away sweat.

Then, she looked at Irene, whose complexion had eased a little, and then she quietly opened her mouth at her words that flashed in her head.

“Ah, lady. Do you have any uncomfortable places these days?”

“That can’t be. If I was sick, Evan would have noticed first.”

“Hmm. Weird. She said that the girl who was in charge of the laundry asked her to ask her how is the lady’s health. What is that… um.”

After thinking about her words for a while, Lopena walked over to Irene and whispered a small whisper in her ear.

“That, it seems that you are not menstruating.”

“…Ah.”

Irene gave her head a small nod at Lo Pena’s words.

Apparently, she hasn’t been coming back to listen lately, which is what she used to do once a month.

Still, didn’t she say that sometimes her menstrual cycle changes?

She didn’t think much of it, so Irene opened her mouth, dismissing it as just a coincidence.

“Well, it’s only been a week, but I wonder if something will happen. Don’t worry too much.”

“Mmm, isn’t it?”

For a moment, a strange word popped into my head, but

Lopena, believing in her own lady and her knight, nodded her head as she struggled to erase the word.

No way … How long has she been dating her? It’s not that people who know everything don’t think of such things.

As her mood was buried in her stillness for a moment, Irene carefully reached out her hand and lifted the teacup.

She recently found herself drinking darjeeling after drinking only lemon tea.

She just tilted her head at her scent, which still felt a bit repulsive.

I wonder if people’s tastes have changed so quickly.

The moment she put the darjeeling in her mouth,

Irene tilted her head involuntarily at the feeling of a foreign body rising from her throat.

“Woo-wook-.”

She dropped the teacup violently, and then retched at something rising from inside her.

Nothing came out, but her throat was still stuffy after the darjeeling had passed through it.

Irene, who took a few deep breaths to calm her stomach, picked up the dropped teacup and looked at Lopena.

“…Eh.”

With her trembling hands, Rofena dropped the chocolate she was holding on the floor and stared blankly at her Irene.

Recently, she has been looking for sour foods, including lemon tea.

His taste has changed and he doesn’t even have his period.

The words she had been trying so hard to erase from her head creeped into Roh Pena’s head, ringing her alarm bell.

Morning sickness.

It didn’t take long to realize what that meant,

After licking her lips for a moment, Fena closed her eyes tightly, avoiding Irene’s gaze.
