I Became the Fiancé of a Crazy Heroine - Chapter 16-2

Residence of the Duke Adelaira, Sion’s room.

Sion placed two boxes on the table.

As promised, Enrite paid Sion for the Holy Water she had made herself.

‘I don’t think she’ll like it very much.’

Sion looked at the box with a worried expression.

For Hanette, alcohol and gambling were just means of use, and she didn’t even have any particular hobbies.

Originally, she showed a lot of interest in magic and focused on learning and applying magic along with the protagonist.

‘I want to buy a book about magical power or something related to magic if I could follow my heart, but…’

It wasn’t a very good idea.

Robbins and Yenid strictly prohibited Hanette from learning magic.

If he gave her a book related to magic, it could be confiscated, or Hanette might become conscious of her surroundings and refuse to accept it.

‘But I can’t buy clothes or perfume or anything like that.’

Hanette always tried to stay away from things that other noblewomen preferred, befitting her name as a Crazy young lady.

She didn’t want to become just like them by using things like dresses, cosmetics, or jewelry.

She just used what Yenid gave her and decorated herself to a reasonable extent.

‘Let’s just go for it and think about it later.’

Sion quickly headed to the next room.

Then he knocked on the door and slowly opened it.

“Are you back? What is that?”

“It’s a gift for my sister.”

“… Suddenly?”

“You could think of it as a bribe.”

“Hahaha! A bribe? That’s not even funny.”

Hanette openly scoffed, but still showed some interest.

It wasn’t a gift given out of the desire to give it.

Like Sion, she received pocket money, and there must have been places he needed to spend it.

Perhaps it was Marquis Laird or Sion’s own brothers who were aware of her and gave him separate money.

“That’s what I’m saying. I bought it to give to my sister..”

“How would I know what I like?”

“That’s why I thought about it a lot.”

“Aha! Why not just ask me?”

“That wouldn’t be any fun. The most exciting thing about a gift is the anticipation before opening it.”

“What if I don’t take it?”

“Ah, really? Then I’ll just take it back.”

Sion promptly turned his back.

Then he heard the sound of something falling over and felt himself being pulled.

Hanette was holding onto his wrist all of a sudden.

“Hey! If you said you’d give it to me, then give it to me!”

“My sister said you don’t accept it?”

“But you assumed I wouldn’t accept it!”

“Did you doubt me? It’s just that… I feel bad.”

“Don’t act innocent and give it to me already.”

“Didn’t my sister. Start this first?”

“Who just gives a gift for no reason?”

“There could be a reason, you know.”

“You think you can make sense of spending money on me?”

“… There’s nothing that can’t make sense.”

Sion chuckled and reluctantly handed over the box.

Hanette quickly took the box and pulled it towards herself with all her strength.

‘Am I getting too attached? Why can’t I stop smiling?
