Bam!
"Sylvia!"
Kim Seok-jin burst through the door and came in. It seemed that Ma-Tap-Ju had temporarily blocked the door.
"Uh, what's going on..."
"I came here because I felt a change in magic power, and there was a barrier in front of the door. Was everything okay?"
"Nothing happened. Do you know how to sense magic?"
"..?"
Kim Seok-jin looked at me with strange eyes. "Wow, was this even expected?"
"I am the Sword Master. Have you forgotten?"
"Oh, oh, that's right. I've been a bit absent-minded lately."
He said that and turned around. His face looked a bit sad, but I guess it was just his imagination.
"...You weren't that interested."
"Huh? What did you say?"
"You mean you weren't interested enough to forget that I was a sword master?"
"what?"
"..No. Nothing."
Why are you acting like this all of a sudden? Is this bait for the obsession route? I haven't done anything yet and I haven't flirted with her, but is this the buff for the female protagonist who was so pretty?
I racked my brain as best I could (which wasn't much). Meanwhile, Kim Seokjin, his face flushed, hurried out.
..Are you sad?
***
That wasn't like me earlier. The very first lesson I learned as a count was to hide my emotions, so why was I showing my frustration like this?
Fortunately, Sylvia didn't seem to notice. If she had, it would have been even more embarrassing.
'I wonder when I started paying attention to Sylvia. It's funny.'
Sylvia seemed interested in him, but he tried to ignore him and didn't try to become close to him. He was afraid that if he became close to her, Sylvia's child would become a count instead of him.
And I wasn't naive enough to risk it and become close to Sylvia.
'The Count of Amrien is now in a stable period. Perhaps... no more
There's no need to push it away, right?'
***
'Uncomfortable, uncomfortable, uncomfortable'
How did women of the past live? The corsets were so tight, it was almost impossible to breathe. The headdresses were so heavy, it felt like their necks would snap.
"Sylvia, will you deliver the gift yourself?"
"Oh, okay. I'll pass it on."
I took each step in high heels that looked to be at least 15 centimeters high. They were so high it was almost scary. The earrings had such large gems that they felt like they were going to tear my ears, and the necklace felt like it was wearing a chain.
As expected from Hwarongjeomjeong, the makeup was spectacular.
Of course, it wasn't unattractive, but it was nothing compared to my bare face. The makeup itself was too thick.
‘No, really, with a face like this that is worthy of a national treasure… is this all you can do?’
Sylvia thought to herself, "I must never wear something like this again," and took her first trembling step.
Bam!
"Her Majesty Sylvia Amrien has arrived."
"Young-ae, it's been a while."
"Your Majesty, I am honored to have been invited."
"The glory is mine."
The empress, who appeared to be in her mid-to-late twenties at most, had a face even more radiant than Sylvia's. Now that I know, it's hard to believe she's supposedly 37 years old.
“These are precious tea leaves, so let’s drink them slowly and talk.”
"It smells good."
"Sylvia Youngae, is this your first time here? She's my favorite child, and I brought her here to make her name known before she makes her debut in high society."
"What is your name and family origin?"
I spoke to the child, deliberately making eye contact. The Empress smiled and looked at the child, as if to suggest she try it.
"I... I'm Jang Won-young. I was selected as a scholarship student at the International Magic School and came here."
Tiring!
