NOVEL NEXT chapter 36
36 – 36 – Traitor!!
” ~ ♪ “
Emma hums her song and is on her way to the master’s room she serves.
After that incident, the good boy became much more generous to the people around him.
No, it would be correct to say that he was originally a generous person.
In the past, there were many cases where I forced a frown or got irritated.
Now, he treats people gently with a relaxed expression.
Perhaps because he felt guilty for causing harm to the people around him, he seemed to avoid being even the slightest bit harsh to people.
‘There’s no need for you to do that at all.. Master, you’re too kind..’
Although he may not always be by his side, he has served around him for many years, so he knows full well that Edward has a soft and masculine personality that is weak to affection.
In order not to appear weak, Edward has always tried to force himself not to get involved with people (especially women) and was careful about his every move, but these days, he is breaking down his boundaries with people and trying to get along with those around him.
That’s why the people who work at the Frigid family these days are dying because they like ‘women’.
Aaaaah! Young master remembered my name!
Young master thanked me!
If you do well, won’t you be able to see the legendary Young master’ smile that only men see?
Oh, no way… I don’t want to go that far, but if I could see it, I wouldn’t mind dying…
Tch.
Emma? What’s going on?
Oh, it’s nothing hehe..
The sight was so disgusting that he almost revealed his true nature.
From long ago, they were people who said they were cute even when the master was irritated and made a fuss.
But these days, they treat me kindly, so it’s not like I don’t understand the position of those women who are trying to die.
After that incident, the atmosphere at Archduke Frigid’s residence also changed due to the change in the master.
‘But this time won’t last long..’
Because guilt wasn’t the only reason Edward changed.
Edward did not change his attitude toward the people around him, specifically the people of Frigid, simply because he felt sorry.
‘ It’s clear that you are being nice to them because they are going to break up soon..’
I don’t know exactly, but after the master proposed marriage to the lustful princess, things seemed to be progressing quickly and smoothly.
That’s why.
First of all, I will take as much time as possible and find a way.
So, Emma, first of all…
Don’t let Ed and that bitch get any closer.
Emma recalled Lilith’s words.
Just as the princess said, the master must not fall further in love with the princess.
So Emma is always hanging around Edward and trying to keep him in check as much as possible.
But now, as I arrived in front of the door, I could hear her men and women talking.
” Ed! Would you like to see this catalog? “
“This is..”
” Yes, this is a list of wedding dresses I will wear for my wedding! “
It seems that the lascivious princess went into the master’s room alone while she was away for a while because she had some business to do.
A wedding dress…
It hasn’t been long, but it looks like they’re already preparing for the wedding.
It’s too fast.
So, in order to take her time, she kept in check, and there was a collaborator to help her with this..
” Grace? Why did you let the princess in so easily? “
This is Grace, the escort knight guarding the door right now.
Emma questioned her, giving her a bewildered expression.
” You shouldn’t let them in! Or, take as much time as possible! “How long has it been since I was away?”
” … “
” Grace? “
Even though Emma raised her voice and raised her voice, Grace remained silent and did not respond.
‘No way? ‘
Emma recognized it immediately.
” Grace? “
” … “
“ No, right? ”
” … “
Grace still did not answer Emma’s question this time…
She turned her head slightly to see if something was poking her.
” Grace?.. “
” Huh..”
Emma was sure.
This bitch betrayed me. It’s clear that she has some kind of deal with the princess.
” Haha.. That’s how it happened.. I’ll go in first..”
Emma was dumbfounded, but she couldn’t let the master and princess create an atmosphere of intimacy, so she tried to enter the room.
However.
Chuck!
She couldn’t get in because Grace blocked her by extending one of her arms.
” Grace? “I think you’re crossing a line with this..”
” Hmm.. Emma, it is not polite to suddenly enter while your superiors are talking. “
” No, when did we start being polite.. “
” Huh..”
” If you do this to me too, I think…”
“Are you trying to cause trouble? “
“If it’s for you, Master..”
Emma continued to distract herself, trying to pull the Auror onto her body in order to use her force to force her way past Grace, who was coughing.
” Because of the last incident, Young master will be very sensitive to Aurors. Is that okay? “
” Well, that is.. “
However, upon seeing that scene, Grace had no choice but to immediately relax her body.
She was able to create faint auras, so she was confident that she was getting stronger.
This is due to the fact that she was shocked when Edward found out that women in his family, including Emma, could easily become Aurors.
” And… Do you have the confidence to break through me? “
” … “
Although it is unfortunate, it is true that Grace is stronger than her Emma.
Emma specializes in assassinations and surprise raids, and Grace is strong in all-out warfare, so even if she were to attack her here, she would have little chance of winning.
” Huh..”
Grace, perhaps feeling some remorse of her own, cleared her throat and turned her gaze back to Emma, who was silent.
Emma opened her mouth while glaring at Grace with her eyes of resentment.
“Princess… No, I will take it to the Grand Duke…”
” I am Young master’s person. And I understand that the Grand Duke also agrees? “
Emma threatened to snitch on her as a last resort, but there was nothing wrong with what Grace said back.
“ Profit!! Betrayer!! ”
” Huh..”
Emma, who was pretending to be innocent, eventually couldn’t control her anger and criticized Grace, but Grace realized that she was not confident, so she cleared her throat again and turned her head.
Emma could not defeat Grace with either force or words, so she had no choice but to retreat angrily alone.
‘I’m sorry.. Emma..’
Grace silently apologized to herself as she watched Emma turn around and leave.
Because in the end, she said that what Emma had said about herself was not wrong.
The reason she turned around like this…
.
.
.
When the princess said that her service was about her master and that it included her, I sat down with her with the intention of listening to her for once.
” Honestly, it’s true that it’s difficult because the three of you work together. “
As soon as Charlotte sat down, she immediately told Grace the main point.
” You know that you can only slow down time a little, but ultimately you can’t stop it, right? “
As a result, it is not wrong.
This is because they are the only three members of the Frigid family who are opposed to Edward and Charlotte’s marriage.
” Hero.. Unless you’re going to swing a sword like that crazy bitch? “
” How could that be! “
Grace, who was quietly listening to Charlotte, couldn’t help but get angry and stand up.
No matter how much you love Edward…
He is Grace who does not want to hurt him even the slightest.
Honestly, I think that just keeping the princess in check is an excessive action by Grace to satisfy her own selfishness.
” Right? If you ever do something like that, Ed will be greatly hurt and will hate you greatly. “
” … “
What is the reason for telling such an obvious fact?
Does she mean that since she is going to marry Edward anyway, she should get out of the way and get out of the way?
Grace, wondering why he was telling such an obvious fact, glared at Charlotte.
“Don’t stare at me like that. I know how much you love Ed. “
” Yes, love!.. “
” Hehe.. The way you look embarrassed is kind of cute. “
” Don’t make fun of me! “
Because Grace was very clumsy with anything other than a sword, and especially because the topic of love was so unfamiliar, he couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
Charlotte looked at her like this with a smile.
” Yes, yes, I will get to the point. You’re Ed’s guy, right? “
” To say the obvious.. “
What obvious truth are you asking?
Grace swore loyalty to Edward from the moment he released her from his cage.
Not to the Archduke Frigid family, but to Edward alone.
” Then, you can follow me even after Ed and I get married? “
” Yes?.. “
Grace couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
She is only thinking about keeping Edward and Charlotte’s marriage in check.
After the two got married, she never thought about her own hardships.
When I think about it, the imperial family is the center of the empire that I hate.
That’s why it’s considered a place you don’t want to set foot in.
If Edward marries Charlotte like this, it is clear that she will go to the imperial family.
So what should she do with herself?
Charlotte continued her speech, leaving Grace alone in her distress.
” If you are a knight, you are stronger than the Imperial Knight Commander, and I think that such a person should continue to protect Ed! “
“…”
Should I accept a compliment?
Grace continued to listen quietly to Charlotte.
But he couldn’t remain silent because of Charlotte’s next question.
“If Ed marries me, are you planning to break off our relationship with her? “
” Of course it can’t be! “
How could that be?
Even if her master abandons her, she will never abandon her master.
If something like that happens…
In order to protect him, I will continue to watch him secretly, even from a very distant place.
” I believe you will answer that way. And… Honestly, I’m confident when it comes to fighting. “
Grace also knows to some extent.
The princess is by no means a weak person.
The strong can gauge each other’s level at a glance, and this is the result of her judgment after examining Charlotte.
Although he was slightly inferior to himself, he was a man in the ranks of the strong.
He is a man who has no shortcomings even when he sets out to protect Edward alone.
” However, if I ascend to the throne in the future… It’s sad, but I won’t be able to stay by Ed’s side all day. But there is a dangerous entity threatening him.”
There is probably no one who does not know who the ‘dangerous being’ that Charlotte is talking about is.
This is a warrior, a crazy bitch who ruined her beloved master’s debutante banquet and went on a rampage at night.
I wanted to deal with it, but I was interrupted.
I want to take another opportunity and destroy it, but it is a great threat that I cannot do anything about because of the goddess.
” And you know that the only people who pose a threat to Ed are not just the warriors, right? “
” Are you saying that someone else could be a threat to Young master? “
It must be difficult for even a warrior, but who dares give him a hard time?
” You know how beautiful Ed is, right? “
” Yes? “It goes without saying…”
Because Charlotte told Grace the obvious, he couldn’t help but have questions.
Even when she was brought to the Frigid family, she didn’t know much about Edward, but she had a crush on him just because of her looks from the first time they met.
” Then the crazy bitches are bound to get even more screwed! “
” Ah.. “
” That’s why we need someone from the imperial family to protect Ed! “
” Are you saying that’s me? “
” Yes, that’s right! If you help me, I will give way to the driver too! “
” Yes? What on earth do you mean by concession? “
” After Ed and I got married and had a child safely… “
” Lord, my master’s child!! “
Grace couldn’t help but shout out in excitement.
It was also a lewd year.
I’m already thinking about having the owner’s child..
Doing things like that… How dare you!!
” This lewd!! “
” Don’t get excited, just listen until the end! And it’s lewdness! “
” … Let’s tell it to the end. “
Depending on what came out of her lewd mouth, Grace was fully thinking of pulling out her sword right here and there, even if she was dragged away for treason.
” After Ed and my child are born.. If some time passes.. I will allow it. “
” ?.. “
Grace couldn’t understand what Charlotte said.
Permission?
” If Ed allows it… If you want… You too can have his child. “
” !!! “
” Of course, there will be a lot of talk about women sharing one man, but you don’t have to worry because I will solve it with my abilities. “
” … “
” So, will you accept my offer, sir? .. Driver? “
“ I.. Come out.. Lord, lord, lord, master’s child.. Child.. Child.. ”
Grace, who listened to Charlotte’s words to the end, was greatly embarrassed.
Charlotte called Grace several times to get an answer from the embarrassed Grace.
She froze and just muttered to herself for a long time.
I’ve been saying ‘ai ai ai ai ai’ for a long time…
In this way…
Grace promised cooperation to Charlotte.
Not to prevent Edward and Charlotte from spending time together.
I will no longer cooperate with the Princess and Emma.
Even if Edward and Charlotte end up together…
On the condition that Grace’s place is still left.
And…
” Still, there is one thing that needs to be pointed out, princess. “
” Yes? “
” Do you plan to have another wife besides Young master? “
” What kind of crazy nonsense are you talking about? “
“It is clear that the princess has been living a lustful life with men since she was young..”
“ What bullshit!! ”
Charlotte, who had been misled, is said to have resolved their misunderstanding by telling Grace a story about her past.
.
.
.
” Grace, what’s going on? “
Did I hear the sound of an argument with Emma?
I hear Edward asking from inside the room.
” No, nothing is wrong! Young master! “
” Ed~ The person guarding you is such a trustworthy person. How could something be wrong with you? “
“No, I didn’t mean to ask that way..”
” Come on! Please look at the next item. “
“Oh, yes, I understand, Charlotte..”
Fortunately, I think I passed it on without Edward noticing.
And her new collaborator, Charlotte, did not forget to subtly praise her.
‘I’m sorry. Emma. ‘
Grace recalled her conversation with the princess and again apologized in her mind to Emma.
Due to Grace’s betrayal(?)..
The alliance of the three women of the Archduchy was soon divided.
