Chapter 04

It was slow, but it felt impatient. It seemed to be a habit he was completely unaware of.

He didn’t even know I was watching him reflected in the window because he was just staring at me.

“You trust him quite a bit.”

“Yeah.”

Valhail’s lips hardened at the instant of an answer.

“Though not as much as you are.”

When I finally turned to him for an answer, the tapping on the table stopped.

It was as if he didn’t like that I was thinking about someone else in front of.

I could see a roaring furnace burning under his blue eyes, which had settled calmly as usual.

“Should I say that he is a great helper who is always loyal and stands by my side?”

He stared at me silently before finally turning his head toward the door.

I couldn’t take my eyes off his dark profile. It wasn’t just because he was handsome today.

“Then I should be grateful.”

I had a strange feeling in his long gaze.

It was as if the way he looked at William was so well wrapped up in his jealousy that it was even benevolent.

Originally, hiding emotions and advocating generosity was a typical aristocratic way.

Even his was more sophisticated and natural than any aristocrat I had ever met. If I hadn’t known how he felt for me, I wouldn’t have noticed at all.

‘What is it?’

I don’t know exactly when, but when I talked to Valhail, there were times when I felt like I was facing a king instead of a Toono.

That’s exactly what it was now.

His face, which came back to me again, even had a light smile on it.

“May the road be where you want it, Selina.”

Relaxation flowed from him as he stared at me with his arms crossed on either side.

Again.

A powerful gaze as if looking down at me.

This, too, was not what Valhail intended.

It was an overwhelming dignity that only the person who faced him in front of his eyes could feel.

Before I knew it, I had shallow goosebumps on my forearm.

“…… It’s cold.”

I raised myself as if I were running away from his chain of persistent glances. The table creaked and shook, but I ignored it.

“I guess I should get in now.”

Valhail looked at me with a little surprise as I turned hastily.

But he didn’t grab my wrist and stop me or anything. He just put out the light on the candlestick.

“Good night, Selina.”

I stayed dead under the blanket until he finally left the balcony.

I closed my eyes, but the heavy gaze that seemed to boil silently was still clear in my head.

‘His jealousy is so brutal.’

I just hoped that the day he left my side would not be too sudden or too loud.

Fiona came back to the bedroom a while later than she told me.

I fell asleep quickly, but I finally woke up to the presence that moves carefully with her feet on tiptoe.

“Are you awake, My Lady?”

“Yeah, yawn, why are you so late……”

Fiona scratched her head as I spoke in a sleepy voice.

“It suddenly became noisy. The Commander just went out armed.”

“At this late hour?”

“Yes. I heard there was something wrong with the Aina village…… I am not sure.”

So she was late after looking around.

Before entering into friendship with the barbarians, Cedric often led his horse out even in his sleep late at night.

I heard that it was an attack by a bandit and that there were frequent cases of demon beasts coming over from the Principality.

Fiona must have actually seen the knights staying at the Count’s castle armed and going out.

“By the way, did that person leave yet?”

Fiona, whose eyes were round before she knew it, looked around.

However, there was no sign of presence even when she looked around. Fiona lamented regretfully.

“My sister said that when she looked at that knight, other men looked like stingrays so I was wondering if he’s a damn hot handsome guy……”

I smirked with my head on the pillow. It’s true one after the other.

“You shouldn’t use slang like that.”

“Oops! Yes, My Lady.”

The girl from the brewery hastily returned to being the maid of the count castle.
