“…….”
He, who started me at once with a strong force, grabbed me around my shoulder without a word. Unlike the emotionless expression, the touch was very soft and friendly.
Yet powerless to hold my body properly, I followed his touch and leaned on his firm breast.
Unlike the various pieces decorated with cold-touch uniforms, his heart was beating as hot as any other young man.
"Bianca, would you like to come with me?"
Still supporting me, he opened his mouth to Bianca.
"Ah, ah... Well, just the carriage...….”
Bianca, who stood up after me, rolled her eyes for a moment and replied. Is Bianca going to go separately now? Yeah, I wasn't in the mood to go through this.
Are you going back to her mansion now? I didn't know what punishment she'd be after, but now I don't really want to think about it.
I just want to rest quickly.
Dior took a slow step. Feeling the depth of one step, I also took a little step.
When I arrived at the mansion, the sunset sun was coloring the sky scarlet.
I don't know what I was thinking while I was riding in the carriage against Dior's arms.
In silent silence, it was comfortable without awkwardness. It was just the regular breathing of him tickling my hair.
He got out of the wagon with the help of Dior, who was not yet intact. Nicholas and Alec, who ran out of the mansion, rushed up to me.
"Sister! What the hell is this...…!”
"Reina, are you okay?”
It was hard to answer because I didn't have any strength all over my body. The pain of the pain before death was terrible again. A terrible trauma to the sword, can I overcome it.
"You, what have you done to my sister...….”
"Nicholas, the one who helped me. Stop it."
Suddenly Nicholas growled, raising his eyes at Dior, who silently supported me. Nicholas must be in a state of course. I stopped him with a weak voice.
Nicholas kept his mouth shut at my words, and briefly glared at Dior, then opened his mouth again.
"Thank you for your help. I think you need to rest now, so give it to me and go back."
Nicholas grabbed me by the wrist leaning in Dior's arms, but somehow my body showed no movement.
"What are you doing?”
Nicholas's angled voice rang. Yes, now Dior didn't hand me over to Nicholas and was still holding me to the product with quite a firm force.
"Yeong-ae is very surprised. I'd better help him to his room."
There was no other emotion in Dior, who spoke calmly while looking down at Nicholas, who was questioning me like a bonehead. All I was saying was that it would be convenient for me to really do that.
"Such...."
Maybe Nicholas felt it, but he was speechless for a moment. Maybe it's because he thinks it'll be more convenient for me for Dior to support me as I am.
"It wouldn't be too much trouble for Dior to support Reina. He's so strong and tall."
"Brother, I just...….”
"Nicolas."
"……yes."
Still, Nicholas, with something discontented in his face, opened his mouth to say something, which was ignored by his older brother Alec.
Alex's firm tone eventually forced Nicholas to close the round lips. There was still a look of disapproval. That's not such a big deal.
Dior, who was looking down at Nicholas staring at him with a casual look, soon moved on. He quickly entered the mansion following his movements.
"Let's listen to the story slowly over dinner. You'll be all right after you sleep.”
Alex's brother, who took me over in front of my door, put me in bed and said in a friendly tone, covering me with a blanket. Feeling that fluffy comfort, I slowly closed my eyes.
* * *
"So, why aren't you going?”
The mysterious purple eyes flashed with similar feelings of the enemy. He was nonchalant as he drew that gaze.
"What a little boy.”
What, kid? Nicholas' eyebrows are badly twisted. There was a fiery feeling. I'm a little boy?
"I'd rather be young than a man like you!"
This time, the standoff has changed. Violet's growling boy, before he knew it, was threatened by the fierce gaze of two "old men".
"Nicholas, is that because you're an old man?”
"Oh, haha, brother, that's not it...….”
Reina like Alec's smiling face best, but Nicholas never did. Alec's smiling face was the scariest.
The sharpness of the rising corners of his mouth made Nicholas feel a chill in his spine. Nicholas backed away from Alec's gaze alone. Dior didn't even care about the confrontation of the brothers.
"Oh, brother, I don't think so now...….”
Nicholas' fierce gaze, which had barely been released from Alec's stare after making excuses for a long time, turned to Dior again.
"Why are you staying here?”
At that question, Dior answered briefly without taking his eyes off the document in his hand.
"You said it was disturbing.”
Unlike his nonchalance, Nicholas was all red and red alone.
"This is our mansion."
"This is my office and your office."
"Ugh!"
Nicholas somehow fretted to get the dark-haired man out of the mansion, but he was even more upset by the way he didn't care about me.
"Tongue, brother!"
After grinding his teeth, he eventually chose Jae, who watched the situation with a smile as if it were funny. Hope sitting on the other end of the table with sea blue hair fluttering.
"Huh, Nicholas?"
Alec looked at me with gentleness, folding the corners of his eyes. Yeah, you're on my side!
"Let's get the author out now!"
Despite the talk of me, Dior still hasn't paid a speck of attention to all this conversation. Not only did he care whether he stayed in this mansion or not anyway, but there were too many papers behind him to think about it.
I need to finish one more thing, but I can't afford to keep up with the little boy's rhythm.
"Well…."
Alec subtly raised a corner of his mouth. The ends of his eyes was bent slightly.
Nicholas had no doubt that his brother would take my side. If you saw my sister walking in her arms. I didn't want to leave a man in the mansion for a second with a clear view of the insidious innermost thoughts. Never!
"I don't think that's gonna work.”
The corners of Alec's mouth, which are still smooth, didn't go down. While Nicholas, halfway between bewilderment and absurdity, mumbled, Alec smiled more brightly and opened his mouth.
"As you can see, my friend is having a hard time instead of course.
Originally, the position of vice-captain should be to share the duties of the leader, but Dior has been very smart in handling it.
So Alec sometimes left the backlog of documents that came down to him to Dior.
Of course, Alec himself is in charge of the final approval of the final review, but the first review and rough understanding made things very easy for him.
Many of the duties handed down to the head of the Imperial Order representing the vast empire were piled up every day.
As a representative, Dior was in charge of training soldiers on behalf of Alec, who moved from place to place and had a lot of work to do.
In addition, he often worked late in the office set up in his mansion.
Originally, we were going to carry out our own work today after finishing our work, but after meeting like this, it naturally led to our work.
It's something you have to do someday, so it doesn't matter if you do it a little early. No, it makes me feel a little more relaxed.
Following Alec's gaze, Nicholas also looked at Dior. I don't want to admit that Form, who handles documents quickly despite my interference, was very cool.
In a straight black uniform, with his waist leaning against the back of the chair, his long legs crossed sharply, and his ear was dripping. The noble appearance of a decent man after the coming-of-age ceremony was not something I could dare to challenge.
"Nicolas."
"……Yes?"
"Well, would you please leave now?”
It was a gentle tone, but somehow I felt strength. There was little excuse. The more I stepped up from here, the more I interfered with my brother's work.
I didn't like that you didn't hand me your sister, and I was more like that because he was impeccably good-looking everywhere. I didn't want to dare to covet my sister, but in fact, I just saved her and helped her.
I was foolish at the moment. The attitude that I had taken to Deputy General Dior a little while ago was rude enough and deserved an apology. For a moment, Nicholas soon regained his composure and lowered his head slightly.
"……I'll see you at dinner, vice-president. Forgive my rudeness a little while ago."
Still unnoticed by Nicholas, Dior replaced the answer with a slight nod.
* * *
"……that's what happened."
After a long explanation of the situation, Alexi nodded slowly, slightly lowering the corners of his eyes.
Nicholas, who shook his whole body and was very excited from the scene that unidentified men suddenly appeared and put out knives, unlike Brother Alec, who remained calm, was still angry.
"How can such rude people!! Who the hell is this? I'm gonna go and...…!”
"Nicolas, you're eating. We have guests, so sit down quickly."
"Brother, no matter how...…!”
"They were quite powerful.”
Nicholas, who sprang up from the chair, stared at Dior with his round eyes. Alex also stopped eating and looked at him. Dior, who had been eating silently and consistently in silence, suddenly opened his mouth.
"The power to take the sword, and the speed of hiding. I don't think it's just a street criminal. It's supposed to be the Knights of the Protection of a noble family."
"Is that so……"
Alex's blue eyes sank lightly as if he were worried about something. Dior's expression was also seriously stiff.
"What should I do then?"”
"……I and Dior will find out, so Nicholas just focus on training."
"Brother, I want to catch the men who threatened you..."
"What if we rush out and face a greater threat? Your intervention now is rather a hindrance. You know what I'm saying, right?
I felt firmness in Brother Alec, who spoke as if he was nagging. Nicholas was forced to accept in the end. You think it would be better for the two of them to find out than for them to step in and grow their work.
Nicholas is still young, but he also knew how to make concessions depending on the situation. When it comes to me, I tend to lose my mind and get excited quickly, but he usually shows a cooler side than anyone else.
"Oh, and Reina."
So Alex's brother, who finished organizing with Nicholas, suddenly called me. He opened his mouth when he looked at him with mysterious eyes as if something had happened.
"I had an audience with the Emperor earlier in the day."
Oh, Your Majesty. With the Crown Prince, how much I have tried to please him in the past.
"The Emperor wants to see you."
What? I dropped a silver spoon in my hand on the table. The white tablecloth was a little stained with yellowish soup, but I didn't have time to think about it. The Emperor wants to see me? What the hell?
