Chapter 30

The people around him were tense about what he might say next. He felt himself getting embarrassed as if his mouth was full of sugar, which he never ate.

'How can there be such a beautiful woman in this world?!'

At the same time, his insides screamed.

'How can her voice be so beautiful?!'

But, the shocked expression was missing from his face.

Kalcion stiffened, indifferent to the woman's appearance. Selena's beauty was lethal to ordinary people who were interested in women or to those who liked pretty things. He could not say how they would look at her.

'Hmm, this is familiar.'

Selena gracefully reached out, snaking her arm around his. Some would freeze in mid-way, but for her, it was as natural as the passing of the breeze.

She smiled as his firm but warm grip covered her hand.

"My legs feel weak, so take me with you, Duke."

As soon as he was successful in covering up the embarrassment, her next blow froze the air around him quickly.

The two of them were confined in one carriage. As soon as the door was opened, they looked like they were caught in an act. What were the two doing to make her legs hurt? Imagination was bound to go in the most stimulating direction.

However,

"Oh, my, what's wrong with your faces? My legs feel numb because I was sitting on a rattling seat for too long."

Selena, unlike the people who were rigid to their imagination, did not forget to smile. As if she was making fun of them.

But on the other hand, it was only one way to survive. The people politely bowed, aware of everything Selena intended, but nothing happened.

"I-Is that so? It is a rough road, Lady. Let us help—""No, I don't like it, Duke."

Selena complained sweetly as the representative motioned to call a servant.

Kalcion silently kept holding her as if he had been assigned to take care of her from the moment she was born. 'The longer the situation gets, the more embarrassing it gets.' Now he had learned, too.

Selena smiled satisfactorily, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"I want to lie down in a comfortable place. I'm tired of sitting."

Her voice was as soft as a butterfly. It was not only Kalcion's illusion that 'lie down' sounded especially loud and strong in his ears. His knees and arms, which were supporting her back, stiffened.

Selena could barely hold in her laughter. On the surface, she was as cool and calm as the morning breeze, but the boyish clown inside her threatened to soar out.

"Ahem, ahem."

He was the same as the attendants who were holding their jaw in place in anticipation. Kalcion fell into deep utter confusion. What kind of expression should he make? Where should he look?

"Let's hurry up and go in, huh? I'm hungry, too."

Among them, Selena was the only one who continued her unwavering and cruel aegyo.

"P-Please come this way!"

The representative walked ahead. He knew how great Kalcion was.

And now, he came to know an unidentified woman holding him.

"Ah, may I ask, who is this Lady…….."

He couldn't help but wonder.

Selena's elegant aegyo faced a crisis for the first time. She was obviously 'nothing' despite being at the peak of the food chain under the current circumstances.

She had no official position nor was she officially declared as his lover. She was neither a precious daughter of a noble nor a friend.

Just one. With Kalcion's acting, she could at least be his lover. But, there was a problem.

'Should I make it stronger?'

She agonized over the policy she'd adhered to.

Until now, she had never stepped back. However, Kalcion's acting skills had always been reduced with each progress. Until now, she had been stuck to him.

'It'll be different from now on. Especially within the social circle.'

There would be many times for her to meet him, but not enough time to stay beside him. She was just a leech.

"She….."

She shot at Kalcion as he began. She hoped he wouldn't reply as she was someone whom he had rescued from the mountains.

If she had daggers in her gaze, Kalcion might have already been ragged to pieces. He brought strength in himself to not get stabbed to death.

The words, which were not so awkward, one could say. It was not a lie, but only the truth.

"......She's someone I'm living with."

'Phew……'

Her shoulders, which were stiffened with tension, slumped down.

'Well done…..'

"A-Ah……I see…..."

She forcibly pulled up the corners of her mouth to try to match the rhythm. But, it confused her. Even if his words made sense, that sounded even more strange.

She had no choice but to step in, giving a loud slap on his shoulder.

"Oh, really, this Northern man is very hard to live with.""?!"

Dunfel's eyes widened as if they were about to pop out from the sockets. It wasn't because of the management, but the knights, maids, and servants who followed.

'Ha.'

Someone breathed in surprise. Among those surprised was Kalcion.

"I've always asked you to introduce yourself nicely. What is this?""......Oh, haha. This Northern man is a bit blunt."

Despite his surprise, Dunfel tried to soften the mood by taking her words with a smile.

"I see. Would it be nice if we get a quiet place for you, Lady? It would make you fall asleep instantly.""Ahaha, oh, yes…… Thank you for your help."

Her subtle hints popped out without any time of preparation.

"Anyway, about love. Do men in the north have a phobia of love?""Ahaha, just a little bit of……no."

Sweats formed on Dunfel’s back. If he sided with Selena, he would get cursed by Kalcion, but if he didn't side with her, he'd be insulting Selena.

Selena and Kalcion's eyes simultaneously turned to Dunfel.

"A single action is more important than a hundred words."

Dunfel cautiously looked up at the two.

First of all, Kalcion was silent.

Successful.

Selena was……

"Hm."

She smirked.

"We'll see how true it is."

Despite her grumbling, Kalcion stayed silent.

***

"The meal has been prepared. The table has been set for you."

The attendants' tables were arranged in different rooms. However, there was only one chair.

"There's only one chair. Since you said you wanted to rest, I'll add a long sofa. So that you can lie down and eat comfortably……."

Of course, Selena and Kalcion would have a meal at the same table.

"No, thank you."

However, she denied.

"Pardon? But……..."

Selena, who smiled at the hesitant manager, tightened her expression. No one could tell if it was a threat or an aegyo.

"......."

In terms of gullibility, a small finger of hers drew lines on his arm. Embarrassed by the unexpected gesture, Kalcion stiffened.

"I'm curious how well my dear Cion can express himself. I'm not going to lift a finger today."

Kalcion eyes harshly searched for answers, but of course, she was unfazed.

"I'm going to sit on his lap and he's going to feed me."

Dunfel also wondered how far Kalcion could go. Watching was not a crime. Still, he had to ask the Duke.

'What should we do?'

His servants were standing at the door, holding the sofa.

"......"

He exhaled a heavy breath.

"Instead, you have to listen to everything I say. Especially in front of people. No matter how crazy my point looks to you."

The voice reverent in his mind.

The place was neither spiritual nor a social place. It was also within his territory. There might be a reason, but it wasn't a place to refute.

He sat down with Selena in his arms. Soon, the food prepared came in through the door.

"Ah, no, no, smaller."

Selena continued to give orders on what to feed her.

Kalcion's fingers tightened around the knife.

The knife, made out of soft iron screamed, 'Should I keep you around like this?!' However, it was just his heart.

"Mmm, it's delicious! It's even better in Cion's hand!"

She pretended. She had her reasons for doing this.

The contract with Kalcion was not enough to protect her safety. It was worrisome that she might never escape if he suddenly changed his mind. So, as long as she was in this world, she had to at least make a pact so that he would not break the contract easily.

It was not enough for a great and dangerous lover to be banished. At least, the woman belonged to the Duke of Renbird.

From Kalcion's character, she could tell he wasn't someone who would get rid of her if she got annoying. However, there might still be a room for her to quit before disappearing.

Therefore, she had to dig deeper into his life and society. To do so, it was essential to plant an unforgettable image in the eyes of everyone she met.

And therefore,

"Aaah."

Selena opened her mouth with fierce determination to kill him if he did not feed her.
