NOVEL NEXT chapter 366
366 – Scene 366# Wendy’s Confession
*
Coming home from work earlier than usual.
Me and Park Se-hee boarded the subway.
We swayed like waves in the crowded crowd of people.
“…Are you okay?”
“Ah? Yes?”
“I asked if it was okay.”
“Ah… Yes. Sure. Just blanking out for a moment…”
Park Se-hee answered my question in a dazed state. Today she didn’t seem to be doing very well. Her tendencies are truly workaholic. Even though she wasn’t as good as me in the past, she was the type of person who was so absorbed in her work that she would work overtime as if it were a meal. She left work early today, unlike usual.
I asked with concern.
“Was your job as a secretary very difficult?”
“It’s not that hard. Oh, if it’s really that difficult, it would be difficult to please Director Choi Jae-man… Haha…”
Park Se-hee smiled as if to reassure me, but somehow even that smile seemed powerless.
“Director Choi Jae-man seems to be flirting a lot.”
“It’s one thing to flirt, but it’s even more difficult to have sore legs from having to wear high heels all day. “They won’t let you wear low heels because they don’t make your legs look pretty, so they will kill you.”
“Helga said that too.”
“Are you going to Helga?”
“Okay.”
Since becoming my bodyguard, Helga has changed Aslan’s uniform into a bold design. In particular, since it was a style that emphasized the legs of her, she insisted on a tight skirt and high heels. I always remember how you told me that your legs were pretty before, so much so that I couldn’t even remember.
After hearing my story, Park Se-hee nodded her head.
“Now that I think about it, she strangely seemed to be the only one whose skirt seemed short.”
“At first she would often point out the outfit, but now she has given up. “I guess I’ve gotten used to it after wearing high heels for a long time.”
“I’m so jealous of that… “I can’t believe I can adapt to high heels.”
“It’s not strange for Helga.”
“But… Ugh…”
Park Se-hee sighed and tapped her leg.
“But do men like high heels?”
“You like it?”
“That’s right. Even Director Choi Jae-man says women wearing high heels are s*xy.”
“Hmm…”
Come to think of it, I think Helga said something similar.
-Count. High heels can be said to be a woman’s weapon.
-That’s because her heels are sharp.
-No. No matter how sharp the heel is, it does not penetrate as well as a spear. The killing power is not that great.
-Didn’t the monster that was hit by your kick die instantly?
-That’s because it’s a very weak monster. Even if a child steps on an ant, it dies.
-The one you kicked was not an ant, but a giant ant. They are giant ants that kill humans by stepping on them.
-Anyway! The story goes that high heels are a weapon that appeals to a woman’s charm. Look at my legs. Even if you stop a person on the street and ask them, they will tell you that you are s*xy.
-Okay… Those who said no would have died long ago.
I don’t know if it was because of the high heels, but Helga’s legs were definitely pretty. Her long, outstretched legs were both healthy and s*xy. When I think about it that way, I think I understand Director Choi Jae-man’s tastes…
“I guess so.”
“What? Ji-hwan, did you really have this kind of taste? “Pervert?”
I shrugged.
“I just thought it was pretty.”
“Then how do my legs compare to Helga’s?”
Park Se-hee slightly stuck out her leg
“How is it? “Do you look s*xy like this?”
“Don’t do strange things in public places.”
“No one can see it anyway. “What?”
It was a situation that fit the saying that there are many eyes to see, but few people can see. The subway was crowded because I was on my way home from work. Perhaps because they were so close together, Park Se-hee’s legs were visible only to me.
“Looking at you so intently, I guess my legs are good?”
“It’s because I can’t see it clearly.”
“Then shall we go home later and show it to you?”
“There is no need.”
As they chatted like that, life came back to Park Se-hee’s her face her her her. When I saw her face, I felt relieved.
“Are you feeling a little better?”
“Yes?”
“I’m glad it’s back to normal.”
“Are you worried because I looked in a bad mood?”
“Isn’t it? “I thought it was because work was difficult.”
“Ahaha.”
“?”
“Because you treat women like this, there are three women who like Ji-hwan.”
Actually there are 4 people… I didn’t need to say it. If she had told Wendy that she was engaged to her, it was obvious that their relationship would fall apart like Bella’s.
“I think there’s at least one more girl who likes Ji-hwan.”
… How did you know?
“Is that possible?”
“Wouldn’t that be pretty close too?”
“… “I have no idea.”
A woman’s senses are truly terrifying. Was she too close to Wendy? Or maybe Wendy saw me kissing her while I was sleeping.
“There are three people, but what guarantee is there that there won’t be a fourth?”
“It’s not wrong, but…”
I felt cold sweat down my spine. Is this really a guided interrogation?
Park Se-hee smiled and poked my chest with her finger.
“Then Ji-hwan, what will you do if a fourth woman shows up? Is she going to marry that girl too?”
“Even if she had such a woman, marriage would be… ” “Isn’t it a bit early?”
“No way. I was only asking what if. If the 4th girl likes you. And if you like that girl, are you willing to marry her?”
“… “Is this a question that really needs to be answered?”
“No comment? Don’t just say things like that.”
No matter what answer I give, it feels like it’s hard to avoid criticism. I felt sorry for Wendy to say no, and I also felt like a promiscuous person to say yes…
No.
Since I had decided to marry them anyway, criticism was expected.
Let’s not think about it too hard.
Tristan…
Jeong Ji-hwan…
I just have to answer as myself.
I answered with arrogance, just like I did before.
“It was there three or four times.”
Park Se-hee did not disdain or criticize my answer. I just smiled.
“I knew so.”
As if he was waiting for my answer.

“Please sit comfortably.”
“Yes…”
Wendy, led by Bella’s hand her her her, arrived at Bella’s room her. She told Helga and Blanche to clean up after her and brought Wendy in, saying she had something to talk about.
Wendy sat down on the chair and just rolled her eyes and looked around her room. She was no one else and she was invited to the Duke’s Lady’s room. She is in a situation where anyone but her can’t help but be nervous.
“Wendy, please make sure you are comfortable during your stay at our mansion.”
“Princess…”
“You are safe now.”
Bella stroked Wendy’s head gently.
“I will protect you from Tristan, so don’t worry.”
“Oh, no. Princess.”
“I know everything. “Is it because you’re scared of Tristan?”
“Yes?”
“I know that Tristan has been good to me and cared for me. That’s why she couldn’t refuse the offer to get engaged, right?”
That was Bella’s conclusion
From Wendy’s perspective, Tristan is an invaluable benefactor. No matter what request Tristan asks, she has no choice but to listen. Even if that wasn’t the case, kind-hearted Wendy wouldn’t have rejected Tristan’s engagement.
‘I didn’t see it that way…’
Bella’s feelings her her she were very complicated. Soon she realized that the man she was going to marry was doing something like this… Because I never imagined it was a lolicon. She even swore that she would love Bella no matter who he was.
‘Should I understand this as a personal preference? ?’
Anyway, that’s not true.
Bella shook her head.
“Wendy. Actually, I was thinking about taking you as my adoptive daughter. I don’t know what Tristan was thinking when he brought up the story of her engagement, but… “I sincerely hope you will become our adopted daughter.”
Bella held Wendy’s hand tightly.
“Of course, as long as it’s okay with you. If that happens, Tristan will also give up.”
“Princess…”
Wendy sensed the pure goodness in Bella’s words her her her her. In her sincerity, she made the suggestion with Wendy in mind. Perhaps the greatest opportunity in Wendy’s life her her her her. But…
“I’m sorry…”
Wendy quietly declined. She had no choice but to refuse.
Now is the time to tell the truth.
Wendy took a deep breath and said.
“I am… “I like the Count.”
“I know.”
“No. I like the Count… As a man…”
“…Yes? As a man…?”
“The Count didn’t confess to me, but I confessed to him first…” ” .”
Confession.
Bella held her breath.
You didn’t hear wrong. She said it was a clear confession. He also confessed that to Tristan…
“I am so sorry to the Count… Because I was criticized and got into a fight with the princess… But… Still, at the same time, I was so happy…”
Tristan did not hide it.
She held Wendy’s hand in front of everyone and declared that they were going to get engaged.
“Because you have finally accepted my heart…”
“B-but… “Wendy.”
“Princess. I’m young and inexperienced, but…”
For the courage that Tristan showed, Wendy also had to show her courage.
“I truly love you, Count…”
“Wendy?!”
As soon as those words were finished, Wendy’s body began to glow. A bright light enveloped her body from head to toe.
The next moment, Bella couldn’t believe her eyes. The light that enveloped Wendy’s body was a highly concentrated magical power. I didn’t know exactly what kind of magic it was.
However, I was able to recognize the vivid rainbow color that radiated that magical power. Because it was a very special magical power even in this world.
“No way…”
The rainbow light faded. In front of Bella was Wendy, not a 12-year-old girl, but a mature adult.
“… A warrior.”
