Instead of prying into what he was mumbling, I came up with what I thought.
“And you’re telling me that because you’re worried, are you? No matter how much I asked, but leaving Ari alone with Dylan, I don’t think you were worried she would hurt her, did you?”
Sir Davery did not answer, but he usually becomes silent and hard as a rock if he has nothing to say.
Anyway.
“You brought it up just to scare me, didn’t you? This man.”
I want to condemn him, but the inner door that was closed at that time is opened.
Then Ari popped out with a bright face.
“Eonni! I succeeded!”
Ari, who came running, reported to me happily as if she wanted a compliment.
I patted Ari’s head proudly as she wished.
After that, I could hear Dylan muttering as she slowly walked out.
“I feel like I’m possessed……”
‘I’m sure you’re possessed.’
swallowed the truth and asked.
“What are you going to do then?”
“First of all, we’ve only signed a verbal contract, and we’ve decided to write a formal contract in the future. I’ll be in charge of escorting the lady from today.”
“Are you okay with just a verbal contract?”
“I’ll keep my word.”
Dylan stepped up and answered.
“Since I’ve signed the contract, her safety is entirely my responsibility in the future. If I don’t keep it properly, you can chop my neck.”
No, why are you so credible…..and more reliable than expected?
Dylan then suddenly gave Sir Davery a look. She had a grin on her face.
“Long time no see.”
Huh?
“The Lucky Davery, no, now Davery Sack?”
What, they knew each other?
Sir Davery seemed to know Dylan really well, but I thought he was the only one to know her because she didn’t look at him as an acquaintance.
‘The Lucky Davery?’
I’m wondering if it’s a nickname. Sir Davery, with slight difficulty, smiled and retorted.
“Long time no see.”
“I’ve heard you’re doing well, but you’re looking great.”
“Dylan doesn’t look bad either?”
I interrupted their conversations.
“Do you two know each other?”
“We were acquaintances for a while in the past.”
“If it’s not, may I ask why Dylan was pretending not to know him until now?”
The answer comes out quickly.
“I didn’t want to talk to the traitor who went under the line of noble blood. But now I’m in the same boat.”
Soon Dylan reached out to Sir Davery.
“I look forward to working with you. Davery Sack.”
“……well, me too.”
Somehow a strange air flowed.
I stared at two such people and soon looked back at Ari. At the same time, her head tilted.
***
“What? Rival?”
After successfully achieving my goal, I entered the carriage with light steps.
And on the way back, I heard the story from Dylan.
“Yes. It was an inseparable relationship.”
Dylan was 26 years old. She was two years older than Sir Davery.
“At that time I was taller.”
Dylan mentioned her height is 181 centimetres. She was already this tall since 16 years old.
“I’ve grown so unlucky and gross.”
“Dylan, why don’t you try to cover up your words when there’s another ear who is listening?”
“For the viewer’s mental stability, with not much sight and no positive impact, you sure have a lot, of course, Sir Davery Sack .”
Instead of replying more, Sir Davery just turned his head out of the carriage window.
‘Oh-ho.’
This was exciting. They say they were an old enemy, but I think the two of them probably had a similar relationship as friends.
‘This is good.’
Dylan decided to stay together in the mansion for a while as Ari’s escort.
It was not difficult to give her a guest room under my authority.
Ari decided to drop honorifics to Dylan. It’s because Dylan said it’s easier to do that.
I had nothing to do with her, so I just decided to speak up the way I used to.
It was meant for respecting her ability regardless of her background, and if Dylan were to build a career and officially sponsored, she would be able to become a knight as soon as possible.
‘I don’t know if I can see Dylan until then, but……’
Imagine when Dylan became Dame Dylan, and I turn my gaze out the window like Sir Davery.
It’s been drizzling outside for some time now.
The forehead is wrinkled. No, that dark cloud crawling.
“It’s raining!”
“I don’t think it’s going to get heavy.”
“Yes, but I think it’s going to rain as we move further.”
I skimmed my hand over the window.
Perhaps because of my mood, the rain seemed to be thicker than before.
‘It wasn’t just my feeling.
……as expected.
“We’ve arrived.”
The carriage glided to a halt in the rain.
The sound of heavy rain disturbed my ears.
When I opened the carriage door, the sound of rain hitting the ground became even louder.
I spat out sighs.
“I knew it.”
“Oh, eonni, it’s pouring.”
Are you going to be like this to me today? Well, that’s it. It’s a good day after all.
Sir Davery got off first and took off his coat, which saved me from the rain.
Like that, Ari also got down into the rain with Dylan’s help.
When I saw the carriage leaving, I turned around, and as soon as I saw a face through the raindrops that I had never expected.
“Ash?”
I was surprised. I thought I saw it wrong.
But he had a face that couldn’t be mistaken. Ash, who came out of the inner gate of the mansion and standing close to the main gate, was so conspicuous that I could not even not mistake him through the thick rain.
Ash squirted close to me.
“Ash, Rain…”
I hurriedly opened my mouth when I realized that Ash was being rained on without an umbrella.
But looking closely, something was different.
Ash was not wet in the midst of the heavy rain. A transparent membrane, apparently, was bouncing all the raindrops around Ash.
‘Magic?’
I’m not sure, but maybe it is.
I remember hearing that if someone had magical items, even when he’s not a wizard, he could create such a tent.
I came to my senses again only after Ash was completely close.
“Hey, why are you out?”
“Because it suddenly rained. I thought you might have left without an umbrella.”
“……”
“As expected, noonim.”
Standing close to Ash, the curtain also bounced off the rain that reached me.
I didn’t know until late that Ash was carrying a towel.
A soft cloth touches my wet shoulder and hair…
After calming myself, I opened my mouth.
“But how do you know I’m coming…”
“I saw the carriage coming from afar. Shall we go in?”
“Oh, well.”
The rain was still pouring down. Thanks to Ash, I was the only one not getting wet.
I hesitated because someone else was in my mind, and Ash soon conjured something.
Then the transparent membrane widened the radius. Sir Davery, Ari and Dylan were no longer in the rain.
Sir Davery retrieved the coat from his head and shook it off.
“Let’s get in now.”
I slowly laid my hand on Ash’s arm. With the help of the membrane, we were able to move into the mansion without getting a single drop of rain.
The transparent membrane did not block the sound. The sound of the rain was loud.
Thanks to this, I was able to walk with only my ears attentively to the noisy rain, ignoring the sound of my heart.
***
The rain, which seemed to be pouring heavily, soon became thinner and stopped.
It seemed to have been showering for a while.
One night was enough for the ground, which had been lightly wet by passing rain, to dry up again as if it had never been.
I put my arm on the balcony railing in my room and looked out of the sunny.
‘This is Dylan. She is going to escort Ari from now on and we’re going to stay together.’
I expected it, but Ash said nothing about Dylan who I suddenly took her to stay with me.
At first, I wondered if he didn’t know since he didn’t pay attention to any other things. Although, it’s not the case.
Later, when I came forward and introduced Dylan, Ash just nodded.
It was surprisingly Alex who welcomed Dylan the most.
“Wow! Female fencer!”
I didn’t know, but it seemed like he had some personal desire for female fencers.
And the romance had a sad quick end.
‘Kuck.’
‘I’ll say it again.’
Dylan, who responded to the word “female fencers,” immediately threatened Alex’s purpose as a whole.
‘Female fencer? So you call a man who wields a sword male fencer? Huh?’
I don’t know what kind of discrimination she suffered in a harsh world when she grabbed a sword with a woman’s body.
So, I felt sorry for Alex, who was shaking blue, but I couldn’t save him.
Yeah, Alex…..
Although being simple is an advantage, but you still need a little attention in this tough world……
Just take this as a chance.
However, I comforted Alex, who barely survived his death, later on.
I gave Dylan the room right next door to Ari.
Dylan quickly adapted to the mansion.
And quickly adapted to Ari’s crisis.
There was something new and unexpected about her, and Dylan seemed rather dull than she appeared.
‘I’m so unlucky!’
Once in the evening, twice in the morning. From yesterday to this morning, at a time when she saved Ari from the brink of death three times, she simply said, “I see.”
‘…….’
No matter how much I think about it, I should have explained Ari’s situation, when she got into the brink of death several times in a day, it wasn’t just because of being unlucky, but it was okay that Dylan herself understood it.
