393 – Scene 393# Wendy’s Magic
*
“I will lift it, so give it to me.”
“Gwae, it’s okay! To this extent…”
“And if it falls, it’s more troublesome to clean it up.”
I woke up and found Wendy coming out after nursing Park Se-hee. She became restless when her wash basin containing her wet towel was taken from her.
“Ship, Count! Are you okay! The Count shouldn’t have to do chores like this… !”
“Does not matter. “No one will say anything about what I do in this mansion.”
“Still, something like this can happen to a lowly person like me…” ” ” .”
“That is an insult to me.”
“Yes, yes!?”
“Aren’t you saying that my fiancé is lowly?”
“?!”
Wendy seemed embarrassed by my point and was unable to continue her sentence.
“Well, that… Well, I didn’t mean it that way…”
“Are you going to make me a man engaged to a lowly person?”
“S-sorry…”
“You are not humble. “Wendy.”
I put down her wash basin for a moment and bent down on one knee to bring Wendy to eye level with her. It was her expression her of her her respect her her her for her her her her her.
“My companion cannot be just anyone. Only a noble and decent woman deserves to be by my side. And Wendy, you are a woman who meets those qualifications.”
“Ah…”
I took Wendy’s hand and lightly kissed the back of her hand. Actions she never would have done if she had considered her lowly. When Wendy realized this, she was devastated and didn’t know what to do.
“The ceremony hasn’t happened yet, but you are now my fiancé. Degrading yourself as lowly is the same as calling yourself lowly. “Keep this in mind.”
“I’m really sorry…”
“People are not beings that can change overnight. All you have to do is change it gradually. “Because you are the fiancé I chose.”
She reached out her hand and stroked Wendy’s head. She lowers her head as if she is embarrassed. It’s cute, like a small animal.
“… Of course, if you change your mind midway, you are free to find someone else.”
“Oh, no!”
“?”
“I am… I really like the Count… I’m excited every day… Because I like it… I want to become an adult quickly…”
“…”
When I see Wendy speaking shyly, I feel something is awkward about her. The innocence of a young child is astounding when I see him tell embarrassing stories that I would never be able to share. In front of that innocence, it’s hard for even me to say anything. So she tried to change her mind.
“… But are you still working as a maid?”
“Yes?”
“You are now my fiancé. It’s okay if you don’t work as my exclusive maid anymore.”
Wendy was first a commoner, but when she became my fiancé, she was treated like a noble. Of course it didn’t matter that she didn’t have to work, but she wore a maid uniform and did her chores around me. She doesn’t need to.
And the reason was very Wendy-like.
“Well, that… I want to help the Count…”
“…”
“Ho, is there a reason for this… ?” . Oh, no way… ?”
“… No. “Is that possible?”
“Huh… ?”
She was just so amazing that she was at a loss for words. Wendy seems to have the power to keep me transfixed. It is more difficult to deal with an innocent woman like Wendy than a strong woman like Bella.
Wendy, who was watching me carefully, opened her mouth.
“Well, by the way, Count. What a good thing happened… ?”
“… Good thing?”
“That… Maybe it’s just my mood… The Count’s expression looks better than in the morning…”
It has to be that way. She placed her pillow on Bella’s lap and she closed her eyes for a moment, but her fatigue seemed to go away. It made me wonder if she should have listened to her a long time ago.
“… There is such a thing.”
When I got embarrassed and bent down again to pick up the wash basin from her floor, I felt a hand stroking my hair.
“?… “What are you doing?”
“I feel like the Count is the only one stroking his head every day. Oh…”
Wendy was stroking my head.
“Bae, the Count also patted my head when I was having a hard time… ? So… I also want to be of help to the Count… !”
I think Bella and Wendy noticed it too. I’ve been overdoing things these days. Wendy probably also wanted to comfort me in this way.
Compared to Bella’s, it was a very clumsy and careful hand… She had a mysterious feeling somehow.
‘…What is it?’
It was like stroking an untamed wild animal. There is no way Tristan, with his strong self-esteem, would accept such treatment. But strangely enough, I didn’t feel bad. Is that all? Every time his little fingers brushed my hair, I felt warmth deep in my heart.
“Cha, you’re nice…”
She closed her eyes and felt Wendy’s touch her. The power of individuality? But she doesn’t have that kind of personality as Wendy. Because neither her newly acquired’hope’ nor’love’had the ability to cheer someone up. Then the remaining possibility is also magic.
“Uh, how do you feel? Are you okay… ?”
“… “What kind of magic is this?”
“Yes?”
“Is this a new magic you learned from Myohail? It’s fascinating. Just stroking my head gives me energy.”
“Yes? Well, that…”
“It’s a useful spell. If it’s okay, can you teach me too?”
“Uh, over there… That’s not it…”
“?”
Wendy rolled her eyes back and forth as if she was embarrassed and confessed her truth.
“Well, I was just patting your head…”
“…What?”
It was just a pat on the head… ? It was hard to believe. It definitely felt like my heart was being healed.
“… “Doesn’t it contain magical power?”
“Yes…”
“… “You didn’t hint to me?”
“Oh, no!”
“… So it wasn’t magic, it was just stroking the head… “Is it true?”
“Yes…”
I covered my face with my palms. My face her her her felt hot
‘What kind of obscenity is this? .’
How can you mistake the simple act of stroking your head for magic? If I could, I wanted to repeat what I said earlier. Even if I’m mistaken, I can’t believe I’m mistaken about this.
“That…”
Unlike me, who was so embarrassed that I wanted to go down a hole, Wendy seemed hesitant but in a good mood.
“Ship, Count. I’m stroking your head… Did you feel good? ?”
“… “It wasn’t bad.”
“Ehehe…”
I denied it, pretending it was nothing, but it was already too late. Wendy, who realized what I had mistaken, smiled brightly and hugged my face. And he kissed my forehead
“This is my magic that I only use for the Count…”
“Magic… “Didn’t you say no?”
“Not to other people, but…” ” . It’s a spell that only works on the Count…”
“… Ha, that is such a fatal magic.”
It’s embarrassing, but it feels kind of funny. Wendy must have been thinking the same thing as me, as the corners of her mouth turned up. Thanks to this, I was able to get up from my seat with a smile, even though I was embarrassed for a moment.
But that laugh didn’t last that long.
“Count~.”
“…”
“…”
When we saw ‘it’ suddenly appear, Wendy and I froze on the spot as if we had made a promise. I was relieved only after hearing ‘it’s’ voice again.
“Are you a count?”
“… Is it Helga?”
I didn’t know how to explain it. Helga appeared before my eyes… For some reason she was wearing clothes made of cotton. If you had to compare her appearance to that of a gorilla? Snowman? Chewbacca? No, since she has horns, should we consider her a Yeti?
“Yes. As you can see, this is Helga, the Count’s cute rabbit.”
“… Oh yeah. I did something, but it was a rabbit. So what’s going on?”
“It’s not because of those trash… But because the training of the guests brought by Sehee has been completed.”
Could it be that they were educated wearing those clothes? I may have made it myself for educational purposes, but it was anything but educational. The blood stains all over the furry fur are probably traces of etiquette training. However, the blood on that bizarre rabbit suit makes it even grotesque. If a young child saw it, it would be 100% traumatizing.
I tried my best to pretend not to be embarrassed.
“… Is it. You worked hard. “Then I’ll give it a go.”
“Yes, I will take the lead.”
Helga, dressed as a doll and claiming to be a rabbit, took the lead. With a bouncing gait that looks like something out of a cartoon. To me, it seemed like it was imitating a cute rabbit running around, but because the doll clothes were so big, it even looked like a mollusk. No, it looks like a wind doll erected on the side of the road to solicit customers…
Wendy and I looked at Helga’s back in a dazed state for a moment.
“Wendy.”
“Yes?”
“What do you think ‘that’ is?”
“Ah…”
Come to think of it, Wendy didn’t seem that scared even though she saw such scary things. If she was a normal child, she would have burst into tears, so she thought timid Wendy would do the same…
Wendy looked at Helga with a familiar look in her eyes, indicating that she was somehow tired. She said in a voice filled with resignation.
“Just… Isn’t this the usual Helga? … ?”
Hmm. Yes.
She also decided not to dig deep.
