The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

102 – Academy Rumors

I sighed, thinking I didn’t know where to start to clear up the misunderstanding.

‘If your fiancé suddenly wants to see her parents, she is bound to misunderstand.’

In addition, he just came to the conclusion without properly explaining the reason.

This misunderstanding was all my fault.

‘So I think it would be a good idea to clear up the misunderstanding first.’

I tried to shake her hand and tell Shien that it wasn’t a meeting.

Shien’s expression she looked so happy that it was difficult to say no.

‘It’s a pain in the ass.’

What would be a good way to resolve misunderstandings?

I listened to Sien say in front of me, ‘Then I’d better also get ready to say hello to Lord Dern’s father.’

I had no choice but to close my eyes tightly.

‘First, let them calm down.’

It would be better to understand it step by step.

I took a deep breath and spoke slowly to Shien.

“I’m just going there to talk, not to meet each other.”

When I said it bluntly, Shien froze.

Her face turns bright red and she begins to blink and look at me.

“Is that so? “I guess I misunderstood.”

Then, with an expression of both sullenness and shame, he seemed at a loss.

Soon, he looks down at the floor with a very depressed expression.

After looking at Sien like that and thinking about it for a while, I decided to tell him a story that would ease his mood.

“Sien.”

“… Yes?”

“It’s not just a misunderstanding. In any case, there are things that go into the fiancé’s position.”

To be precise, going as a fiancé had an extremely low market share as it was only about adding fragrance.

There was no need to say this, so I told you without this fact.

Shien speaks to me in a somewhat excited voice.

“Is that so? If so, I’m glad.”

I don’t know what the good news is, but it would be better to know that for now.

I looked at Shien, who was smiling brightly ahead of me, and returned to the main topic.

“So, I would like to talk to your father, can you please relay the message?”

“Yes, it will be possible. “My father also recently heard about Lord Dern’s great achievements and hinted that he would like to meet him.”

“Then that’s a good thing.”

This will make the story go faster.

I nodded, deciding to think of things the head of the Per family would like.

* * *

The promise with Shien’s father and the head of the Per family was made faster than expected.

Considering that the head of the Per family is quite busy.

It would be correct to say that Shien’s role played a significant role.

I decided to at least say thank you to Sien later and headed to the Per family.

‘Is this place?’

As befits a noble knightly family, the interior of the mansion is also tailored accordingly.

I slowly walked inside, looking at the neat, yet very simple design that was unbecoming of a high-ranking noble.

I see Sien wearing her armor greeting me with a bright smile.

“Lord Dern. “Are you here?”

At her nod to her, Shien pointed inside the house and spoke.

“I spoke to the butler and maids and decided that I would be in charge of guiding Lord Dern. “I hope you just trust me and follow me today.”

Shien placed her hand on her chest triumphantly and spoke.

Soon he slowly grabs my hand and begins to guide me inside.

As I was slowly walking towards Shien, I noticed that the maids nearby were wiping away tears.

‘Why are they doing that?’

I looked at Shien to see if there was a problem.

Shien smiled awkwardly and told me the reason.

“Oh that… The maids said that it was very touching that I became friends with Lord Dern again… I say so.”

Shien looked at me with an embarrassed expression, as if she was embarrassed to say this.

Soon, she moves forward quickly, as if she is embarrassed.

Looking at Shien like that, I couldn’t hide one question.

‘What on earth happened in the past that made the maids react like that?’

If you recall what Shien said, she said, ‘We were very close when we were young.’

After she was possessed, she recalled that when she first met him at the Academy, she heard that Dern hated Shien.

It probably happened after some kind of incident, but I have no idea what that incident was.

‘… ‘

However, she was reluctant to ask this directly, so she decided to wait for Shien to tell her and moved on.

“First of all, this is a park. “I remember playing house with Lord Dern here before, so it’s my second favorite place.”

“I see.”

“Yes. The tools I played with back then are still in storage. Would you like to take a look?”

I nodded, thinking that maybe I could dig up information about the past from those tools.

Shien talks to me as he brings a luxurious box from a nearby warehouse.

“I liked building sand castles, and Lord Dern liked destroying the sands I made, so I remember castles we got along quite well.”

“… “

I don’t know if it’s right to say that this really comes together well.

Just when I was thinking that Dern was bullying Shien rather than playing with him.

Shien takes out the tools in the box and talks.

“To be honest, I don’t remember the details because it was such a long time ago, but… I still remember Lord Dern being very happy.”

No matter how much I think about it, it seems like he was just harassing me.

I was thinking about telling you the truth about this, but it occurred to me that there was no need to bring up past hurts.

I endured it with great effort and answered Shien.

“I see.”

“Yes. Maybe that’s why it remains a quite happy memory.”

“… “

“Then I’ll put the tools back and come back.”

I’m smiling awkwardly as I look at Shien’s back as she goes to put her tools back.

Shien quickly puts down her tool and runs towards me with a bright expression.

As she looked at Shien, feeling as if she was looking at her puppy, Shien informed her of her her next destination one by one.

“Next is the kitchen and study where Lord Dern often visited, and… “

It seems like I’ve made more memories than I expected.

I spoke while unconsciously stroking Shien’s head, her eyes shining.

“There is no need to rush. Everyone can stop by.”

Shien freezes and looks at me, as if she didn’t know I was going to pat her head.

I’m trying my best to avoid Shien’s gaze because it feels strangely burdensome.

Shien took a step towards me and thrust her head in her as she spoke.

“… As long as you don’t hate Lord Dern, you can pet her whenever you like. No, I want you to pet me.”

Then she hugged me as if she was clinging to me and asked me to quickly pat her head.

I tried to soothe Shien by stroking her head again and again.

Shien’s ears her her turn red and she doesn’t know what to do. She looks up at me carefully and whispers.

“I think it would be best to move on to the next location now. If it’s like this… “The employees secretly came to watch.”

At those words, I came to my senses and nodded.

Anyway, I didn’t want to show this kind of affection to others.

So, just as I was about to move to the next location, a maid approached me and told me that ‘the head of the house has arrived.’

“Bird, I see you came back earlier than expected. It seems that your father also wanted to meet Lord Dern quickly.”

I’m starting to feel embarrassed now.

I slowly lowered my hand and spoke, thinking that the matriarch had returned at a fairly appropriate time.

“Then let’s go.”

“Yes.”

Shien nodded her head and looked at me, then she gently grabbed my hand and spoke with a bright smile.

“I guess I can do this since I’m your fiancé. Of course, if Lord Dern says he doesn’t like it, I won’t catch you.”

“I don’t hate it.”

“Then I will hold on to it.”

I led Shien, who was holding my hand tightly with both hands, and headed to the place where the employee showed me.

* * *

As I head to the reception room, a man wearing armor similar to Shien catches my eye.

I looked at the man and nodded, and he greeted me lightly and spoke to me.

“It’s been a while. “I’ve heard a lot from Sien.”

Rough, rough, and large hands.

I saw such a hand reaching out to me and slowly grasped it.

He continues his words while firmly holding my hand.

“And… “There are also rumors going around the academy.”

Academy.

I don’t know what kind of rumor I heard, but judging by the fairly strong pressure on my hand, it seems like I don’t know a very good rumor.

In such a situation, I make eye contact without saying a word.

“Academy rumors? What is that?”

Shien seemed to be the only one who didn’t understand, so he started smiling brightly and tilting his head next to him.
