NOVEL NEXT chapter 397
397 – Scene 397# Tristan’s Laughter
*
“Hmm…”
Bella, who heard the whole story, nodded. In front of her, Helga and Blanche were on their knees with their hands up, like children being punished.
“So, while playing around like kids, I broke Tristan’s back…” ” “You mean this?”
“Sorry…”
“Princess. Strictly speaking, I didn’t break it, but I made it crooked…”
“That’s it!”
Bella glares at the two people with a scary expression. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her this angry.
“Bae, Count, you’re in a lot of pain… ?”
I was lying face down on the bed, receiving Wendy’s careful warm compress on my lower back. I thought there was something wrong with her back, but when she was examined, it turned out that she had only slightly sprained her back. Should we be glad that it ended like this between Helga and Blanche, and not between ordinary women?
“Okay. You can stop now. I have to take care of the rest.”
“Oh, no… ! Your doctor told you to take absolute rest…”
My doctor recommended absolute rest, but it wasn’t because of my back but more because of overwork. Even my well-trained body must have been unable to withstand the forced march of sleeping only two hours a day for nearly a month. I was able to relieve my mental fatigue with just one nap, but it probably wasn’t able to relieve all of my physical fatigue.
“But Helga… I know you do a lot of eccentric things, but… What does that look like?”
“Yes! “This is the Count’s favorite outfit!”
“Tristan… ?”
“It’s not like that, so don’t misunderstand.”
Bella glared at me with an expression that asked me if she had dressed Helga like this. But if you think about it, wasn’t Bella wearing clothes like that before Helga?
“Well, those are the clothes the Count likes…” ” .”
“Wendy… That’s what Helga said.”
“Oh, ah?! Is that so?! I’m sorry…”
“No. What does everyone think of me…”
“…”
At those words, everyone, including me, looked at Helga with a pitiful expression. As if there was no need to say more than this…
“Okay… Helga. Knowing how busy Tristan is… How will you take responsibility?”
“After…There’s nothing we can do. I have no choice but to repay with my body…”
“Don’t be funny. Don’t try to take off your clothes subtly. Blanchet? Don’t get carried away by the atmosphere and try to take off your clothes.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. Without even knowing…”
“Ha… What should I really do with you…”
Bella placed her finger between her eyes and sighed. Helga, looking at that, pouted her lips and muttered.
“Blood… Who gave a lap pillow to such a busy person? .”
“?!”
For a moment, Bella’s eyes shook. But even for a moment, there was a coldness in those eyes.
“Hmm… “It looks like there was a rat in this mansion too?”
“Haha. The princess too. It’s happening under one roof, but only the rats know? Everyone knows.”
“Aha… Under the roof of this spacious mansion?”
“Yes. Hehe… “Are you going to be careful from now on?”
“Yes. “I need to set up a mouse trap or something.”
“Squeak squeak.”
A violent atmosphere flowed between the two people. Blanche and Wendy were just watching her, unable to get in between them. In the end, being able to mediate between two people…
“Enough of that.”
I got up from the bed. My back her her it was a little sore, but I could move around like this. Above all, you have to move according to the next schedule.
“If you want to fight, go somewhere else and fight. Don’t disturb busy people. “The rest of you, go do your business.”
“Tristan. Where are you going?”
“I’m going to work.”
“Oh, no! Count! You need to get some more rest… !”
Wendy was surprised and hugged her waist. It was an action to catch me, but… Unfortunately, my back is my weak point right now. Because of the tingling shock, I unconsciously took a step back towards the bed.
“Huh?! “I’m sorry!”
“Good job. “Wendy.”
“Yes?”
Without missing the opportunity, the three remaining women rushed over and laid me back on the bed as if they had made a promise.
“… “What are you doing now?”
“Tristan. “You need to rest today.”
“I’ve already had enough rest. I am…”
“I need to get some rest.”
Bella put her hand on my chest to stop me from getting up. She would have tried to shake it off somehow, but she had Blanche by her side.
“You’re right, young lady. The Count must rest.”
“Didn’t I say it was okay?”
“That’s the Count’s idea.”
“… Are you following your master’s will?”
“No. This is what I mean. “I’m saying this because I’m worried about the Count.”
Blanchet’s hand pressing on my shoulder also exerted strength. And the same was true for Helga’s hand pressing on her shoulder.
“Do not worry. “The Count’s schedule today has all been canceled due to health issues.”
“Who canceled it at will?”
“That’s up to us.”
Bella was looking down at me.
“You stubborn. “The women you love ask for this.”
“Ship, Count… I also hope the Count can rest with us today…”
Even Wendy looked at me worriedly from my bedside. Four women were stopping me in unison. Even Bella and Helga, who were bickering just now, get along well at times like this.
“Wendy is right. “If anything, Helga could break your legs off.”
“Eh? Me?”
“Aren’t you the kind of person who can do that?”
“No. No matter how bad I am…”
Helga looked at Bella in bewilderment and muttered as if something suddenly occurred to her.
“What? No. If the Count stays in bed for the rest of his life… Hmm. I think that’s okay too… What do you think, Count? This is because your own opinion is the most important. .. .”
What do you think? How could I possibly agree to breaking my leg?
“Si, I don’t like it! Do not! “I will protect the Count’s legs!”
Wendy, who was pale, hugged my legs and blocked me. Okay. You are the only one who thinks of me.
‘Under…’ ‘ .’
Anyway, at this point, I feel weak. Because I felt like everyone was worried about me.
I feel something strange. If I had continued to live by my own stubbornness… If you’ve lived as a villain… You’ve never felt this way.
What I feel right now… It was a feeling that had nothing to do with me even a year ago.
I was lonely. No, I was so used to loneliness that I even forgot that I was lonely. My only family is my younger brother. People around me, who became an ex-convict for murdering my father… It was safe to say that there was no one until Park Se-hee showed up.
At that time, if I caught the flu, I would suffer alone at home. Lonely with no one to take care of you.
But now…
“Do you understand? Tristan. “You are not alone.”
“Well, we are here…”
“Cancer. “The Count has a woman named me.”
“I will be by your side until your body recovers. So don’t worry and rest.”
There are people who care about me this much. This moment must be a happy moment for me.
Okay. Happiness.
That was my final goal, and the reason I struggled 526 times over the course of a year was all for happiness. To save this world and the people who love me.
Of course, it is not complete happiness yet. Because I will never stop until the day Sora wakes up.
But… If the people around me right now are my happiness, if they are the happiness I want to protect so much, then I shouldn’t turn away from them.
I finally declared.
“… “I lost.”
They… I raised my hands and surrendered to my happiness.
“I will do as you wish.”
No matter how stubborn I was, I couldn’t become weak in front of them, so it was a natural result… However, Bella, Helga, Blanche, and Wendy had a completely different reaction than I expected.
What? Why does everyone look surprised…
“Tristan…”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Just make that face again.”
Huh?
“Come on! Blanche. “You go to the island right now and bring a good photographer.”
“Yes!”
“For a moment. A photographer. “What are you talking about?”
“What are you talking about? “I did it to take pictures!”
“Suddenly, what is that… ” .”
Wendy looked at me blankly and said, not knowing what to say.
“I… Bae, this is my first time seeing the Count smile with that expression…”
“You laughed?”
“Yes…”
Me?
I couldn’t believe it at all. He never showed his expression easily and always had a smile mixed with something like ‘arrogance’ or ‘anger.’ But what about laughter? Is that even possible?
No… Rather…
I don’t know why, but Helga was taking off my dress shirt.
“Helga! “What are you doing now?”
“I’m going to do it.”
Yes?
Helga’s Eye Odd was glowing ominously. As if my body were a sumptuous feast…
“I’m going to do it because I can’t take it anymore.”
“?! Hey, are you crazy?! There’s Wendy too! Come down from there!”
“How can you bear it when you see that?”
Fight! The buttons on his shirt he came off by Helga’s hands. Between them, my breasts were clearly exposed.
“Blanchet! I’m so horny… No, catch the crazy rabbit!”
“As instructed.”
Helga, half-lost of her wits, was clinging to Bella and Blanche, arguing with her. Wendy was at a loss as to where to put her clothes, so she was fastening my shirt after Helga had taken it off.
“Hmm… Oh, I can’t see anything…”
However, I closed my eyes tightly as if I was embarrassed. Thanks to this, I was buttoning my shirt wrong.
It was truly a confusing situation, but my mind was also very confused.
I really laughed… ?
