"Isn't this where the hostess of all generations lives?"
"The grandmaster may feel uncomfortable."
“We just need to know.”
The servants muttered.
The best rooms in the mansion are swept and polished for Charlize.
It was the room where Kahu was supposed to be guided when he had a fiancee.
"Isn't it better if the grandmaster becomes the hostess?"
“It feels like it will really work.”
When the young duke gets married, he will be recognized as the true owner of the family.
They carefully cleaned the room, hoping that the relationship between Kahu and Charlize would develop.
The servants speak like secrets. Charlize heard it.
"It seems you like me a lot."
Charlize thought as she entered the room. He put the scabbard down first.
First of all, the report to Dylan is important. So he sat at the table in the room.
Write the letters slowly on the paper provided.
[For the sake of work efficiency, I will spend one night in Duke Delmon's mansion before returning to the palace.May you always be at peace.Honor us, Charlize.]
Charlize opened the window and whistled.
A tame eagle flew in the distance while flapping its wings.
Charlize stroked the eagle and hung the paper.
"Send to Your Majesty."
Sometimes called spiritual animals. The imperial eagle is very clever.
The eagle flew excitedly.
Charlize slowly closed the window as she watched the eagle move away.
He slowly closed his eyes and then opened them.
'Will Dylan be jealous?'
If he shows a definite reaction. He could be sure that this was a rational feeling.
Even if he sleeps in the mansion. It didn't matter because he didn't even sleep in the same room.
Rumors would have circulated that the relationship between him and Kahu was unusual.
Even this was Charlize's intention.
'Again, I just need to know the truth about Kahu.'
Charlize explained five years ago that she had no intention of marrying Kahu at the dance to commemorate the sword contest.
So it'll be fine.
Charlize finished unpacking her luggage.
"I'll take a night out after all this time."
His eyes reached the scabbard.
Charlize took her scabbard and stepped out.
***
As he crossed the walls of Duke Delmon's mansion, he met a night guest.
Hwik!
The sword swung in an instant, covered in blood. He did not intend to hide his skills.
He didn't mean to let this person live from the start.
There's blood on the sword. A huge sword bounced off all the blood, but it was not a good enough sword.
'I have to take care of him before the blade contains more blood.'
Thinking of that, Charlize arrived at the mansion. The servant felt a moment of incompatibility, but Charlize gently instructed.
“Can you bring me oil to clean the sword? I like the one used for sewing machine.”
"Yes, grandmaster."
The waiter laughed as if he thought it was an illusion. The waiter immediately brought oil on Charlize and the handkerchief.
"Sir, the grandmaster is on the stairs."
Meanwhile, the butler was guiding Kahu. Kahu nodded and followed the butler.
The reason his steps stopped.
Suddenly, walking was too heavy, and it was not because he was misguided.
Now we're close enough.
Charlize tilted her head in the moonlight. It was just a beautiful unrealistic.
The flowing golden and silver hair was stuck in the ears. White cheeks open under the light. A long and luxurious dress stretched down the stairs. The calm and delicate blue eyes of the sea.
“…”
With her long, slender fingers, Charlize wiped her sword.
At that moment, there was a strong smell of blood.
***
The servant who met with Kahu immediately made eye contact with the butler. Only then did the servant seem to be conscious.
Not only Kahu, but the strange power of the moonlight also seemed to have bewitched the servant.
Charlize had just cleaned her sword, but she had a charm to attract people.
The waiter stood on the stairs carefully. The butler greeted Kahu and stepped back.
“I hope you have a peaceful time, Mr.”
The servant also bowed to Kahu and quickly moved away from him.
Charlize slowly raised her head. Kahu swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
Charlize's eyes reach Kahu.
"Oh, you're here."
Her gentle and unique way of speaking calmed Kahu.
"Yes, grandmaster."
Kahu's approaching Charlize.
The handkerchief held by Charlize was extremely luxurious.
The long silver sword was shining even more sharply. Sword with golem cutting marks. Charlize lowered her eyelids and wiped them all the way to her handle.
It was common for a knight to treat a sword with value.
It is rare to wipe the sword carefully. Kahu carefully stood down the stairs.
Charlize's figure was as graceful as the touch of a musician playing the harp.
"Why are you wiping the sword?"
"Oh this kid, because he did a great job today as well."
Charlize, who answered strangely, raised her sword and reflected it under the moonlight. It shines brightly.
'This kid?'
Kahu noticed the choice Charlize said. Because he usually doesn't say that with a sword.
Caught by the question, he could not ask about the stench of blood from Charlize's sword.
Charlize put her sword into her scabbard.
“Do you want to sit?”
When Charlize suggested it, Kahu got up and sat down next to her.
There were different walkways and benches in the park, but the stairs he sat on for the first time were not bad.
No, it's a moonlit night. Staring at the night sky with Charlize was somewhat unrealistic. His heart is beating fast.
“The sky we saw from here. It was as close as the stars that would soon fall.”
said Charlize. Kahu nodded his head.
Come to think. Charlize. The reason why he accepted Kahu's invitation. That's to investigate him.
Kahu, who had been quiet, began to speak first.
“Unfortunately, not long ago there was an accident in which the successor to Count Hart fell and died.”
Charlize almost allowed Kahu to casually interrogate her. Soon, he found out that it was before returning to the past.
Ever since Charlize returned to the past, not only had history changed, but the fate of most nobles had changed.
The same goes for Count Hart's successor. Even if he died unfortunately before he returned to the past. He's not dead this time.
Charlize asked back, and lowered her eyes.
"Hm."
“…”
"Did something like that happen to Count Hart?"
Is this a test, or is the confusion that comes from the mix of memories before and after returning to the past?
Charlize was nervous, but her outer expression was lethargic. Kahu opened his eyes wide for a moment as if he was confused. He immediately lowered his head.
“Ah, I must have been wrong for a while. I'm sorry."
At the same time, he looked up and saw Charlize's skin, making him doubt if he didn't mean it.
But Charlize smiled gently.
"It's nothing, it can happen."
Charlize was half hesitant, but yes, she told him that it could happen.
But one thing is certain.
'Know has returned to the past.'
Let's say I pulled a miracle. But what about Kahu?
"It's his destiny to get involved."
Suddenly, the word that passed through his mind caught Charlize.
'No.'
It's not good to be more emotional than necessary. Charlize shook her head to dispel her strange feeling.
Charlize lowered her gaze for a moment. Kahu doesn't smell like any piece. He's just a pure-blooded man.
He looked up and looked at Kahu.
“Then, I'll ask you too, young duke. Why did you join?"
Before accession. Kahu had every chance to commit treason.
But he didn't do that.
As if asking why she chose Dylan, Charlize looked at Kahu. Kahu replied directly after being silent for a while.
“For me, it's not for Your Majesty. I did it for you grandmaster from the beginning. ”
That was a harsh answer for Dylan. However, Charlize was silent.
Nature's fresh green eyes saw Charlize. The dark night. The autumn wind.
A specimen of a nobleman who was raised solely as a successor to a family since he was young. The first knight commander to pledge allegiance to the imperial family. But in front of Charlize.
Like wanting to be an ordinary man. Kahu didn't make it up.
***
Dylan read the letter from Charlize. He wrote that he would sleep all night in Duke Delmon's mansion.
'You're going to sleep with Kahu?'
Of course, it would never 'sleep' together. He accidentally squeezed the letter because of the strength in his grasp.
Dylan squeezed the paper. Come to think of it, it's not the only one.
'When Master recommended young miss Remiya to me as the future Crown Princess.'
As far as he could remember, it was the only time, not now.
Dylan opened the letter again and read it. He was not dyslexic, but he read the letters clearly, but his mind could not interpret them.
[For the sake of work efficiency, I will spend one night in Duke Delmon's mansion before returning to the palace.May you always be at peace.Honor us, Charlize.]
“Eworking efficiency.”
Dylan muttered to himself in a daze.
Yep.
These. Workings. He said it was part of his job. Dylan said to himself, but to no avail.
Dylan couldn't even force Charlize. It's Charlize's life, and it's her authority. After all, if Dylan hadn't fed the Emperor a piece of Ehyrit from the start. Something like that won't happen.
Dietrich was executed in front of everyone, no one could do so after the re-appointment of the deposed emperor.
'The plan was scrapped when the emperor obtained half of eternal life.'
The reason why Charlize exterminated the remaining forces of the rebellion. After all, it was because of Dylan's love.
'But, once again, I can't let Master kill the emperor with his own hands.'
After completing her revenge, Charlize loses her motivation to live and is apathetic. He'll never be able to see it.
“...Is this a test?”
Dylan is a genius. Of course, he's smart. He also knew that Charlize was testing Dylan's feelings recently.
When he could not stick his sword at Charlize, which showed a gap during the battle. Charlize's eyes were shining strangely.
When he teaches piano, he must increase his self-control to make amends.
"If not."
For Kahu, are you serious?
Unable to say the end, Dylan looked out the window with a blank look.
The night when the moon rises.
Just imagining Charlize and Kahu has made her head hurt.
But Dylan couldn't stop Charlize. Even if Charlize and Kahu build good feelings rationally. He couldn't bring Charlize home.
"No, nothing will happen."
Dylan tried to think rationally. Don't you know Charlize's personality? It's really just for the sake of work efficiency.
He judged it that way. On the other hand, his lungs were boiling hot.
Waiting here like this. That he could do nothing but pray that nothing would happen.
“…”
When he became emperor. He doesn't expect that relationship to change. Still, he was expecting something. At least he never imagined such a situation.
She waited to teach Charlize the piano as soon as she returned.
But no matter how long he waited, there was no point now. Just for tonight. He'll be with Kahu.
Dylan hurriedly raised a glass of water to calm himself down. But was it because he failed to control his strength?
Cracks!
The glass broke in his hand. The piece stuck to his palm and blood flowed.
If Master is by his side.
He asked if she was okay, and she must have been worried by her polite and gentle tone. There is no soft look. It didn't get to him.
Water dripped without power.
***
"I don't have clothes to change."
"Don't worry, grandmaster!"
"If you don't know, I prepared a dress for the grandmaster!"
“We will take him soon. Please wait a minute!"
Hearing Charlize's words, the servants happily went to pick up her clothes.
It was a beautiful morning before he realized it. The long night trip ended after a few conversations with Kahu.
She slept in a guest night dress yesterday, but today she needs a new dress to change.
He could not prepare clothes because he did not think of staying overnight. However, the maids acted quickly as if they had been waiting for this situation.
Charlize was immediately surprised by the colonel's dress.
"It suits me perfectly."
It was a dress made exactly the size of Charlize. Unless it was too conspicuous to go to the underworld today.
It was the perfect dress with a beautiful golden design.
"Thank you."
"That looks so good to you!"
The intense hospitality remains the same. Charlize finally laughed. The innocent waiter was very cheerful and pleasant.
Charlize didn't get make-up. Even so, it was because her clean and bright skin shone beautifully.
Each of them decided to have a light breakfast, so they arranged it in their own bedroom.
The menu is salad and egg tart.
"Young Duke, it's a fresh morning."
"Do you sleep comfortably?"
“Yes, I feel very good because I slept well.”
Charlize greeted Kahu and praised the servants.
"The waiters are so funny."
"It's a good thing I think they've served the grandmaster."
Charlize smiled brightly as if she was in a good mood. Seeing Charlize whom he liked, Kahu was also happy.
“By the way, grandmaster. There's something I couldn't tell you yesterday.”
“?”
“Thank you for saving me from Golem.”
Kahu bowed politely to Charlize. If it wasn't for Charlize back then, she might have been seriously injured.
Charlize was a savior to him.
Charlize was silent for a moment. When Kahu raised his head, he looked a little strange.
“Of course it's something I have to do.”
“…”
“But I'm glad the young duke said that.”
Charlize, who was in the moonlight last night, was very charming and very beautiful. However, Charlize was in the morning sun as well. She was beautiful with a different feeling from that night.
"Then, will we go again now?"
Because he's had enough rest.
It's time to dig the underworld. Charlize smiled brightly.
“We have to go to work.”
"Yes, grandmaster."
Kahu agreed with Charlize.
There was a warm atmosphere between Charlize and Kahu for a while.
They smiled at each other and continued without delay.
Soon they arrived at the underworld.
Charlize went first. Kahu followed slowly.
