I Was Given a Political Marriage - Chapter 37



37 – Deprived of Flowers (4)

“It’s a dog dream. It’s a dog dream.”

After waking up from the dream, the first thing I saw was Eileen, who was sleeping soundly.

She had the same hair as the girl I had seen in my dream. The only difference was that she had the same dark eyes as mine.

‘Couldn’t it be?’

One of the most memorable words I heard from childhood.

If you have a strange dream, I suggest you to find out if anyone around you is pregnant.

I’m not a dream interpreter, but unlike usual, I think the dream that remained clearly in my memory was close to a prenatal dream.

‘No, that’s not easy.’

“draft…”

It seems that I had a strange delusion in the middle of the day. It’s been two days since I’ve been with her, and it makes no sense to be pregnant.

I buried my head in the blanket to forget the dream I had just had and went back to sleep.

~(Boy sleeping)~

After such an uneventful day, life began to change with new changes.

Originally, it was all simple skinship, but once the limit was broken, it seemed like the line disappeared.

For example, when I kiss her in the morning, like this morning, her hand naturally points to my lower body.

Then, when he responds, he smiles darkly, sweeps it with his palm, and strokes the inside of his thigh.

Eileen, whose lines disappeared in this way, was fatal and took away her vitality little by little.

‘If I live like this, I will die first.’

And the more skinship you have, the more likely you are to have children.

We have to find a new way. However, contrary to my thoughts, there were more things that I was led to than I did.

“Hey, it’s been a while, Eileen.”

“hmm?”

However, a new wave has been created in this daily life.

“Bestea, I’m busy for a while… wait.

Eileen, who normally should have answered appropriately and left with me, seemed very embarrassed.

For the first time, he was so surprised that his eyes flashed, then he grabbed my hand tightly.

“Ah, I should formally introduce myself. She’s Miss Scarlett, a talented person to be appointed as the next White Wing Knight.”

“Nice to meet you, Marquis Eileen.”

“Scarlett?”

Scarlett’s appearance after a long time has changed a lot.

Contrary to the appearance of wearing a white uniform, starting with leggings that cling to the body, she was wearing a black shirt and corset to highlight her figure.

Maybe it’s because his tone has become darker or he’s matured, but he looks more mature than before.

“I’m sure you have a lot of questions, but wouldn’t you like to enjoy a tea party with your close friends after a long time?”

Eileen bit her lip, briefly looked at me and Scarlett, then nodded.

Escorted by Scarlett, they move to the tea party of the princess.

While the princess and Eileen walked while talking little by little, Scarlett, the one left behind, sneaked up next to me and whispered.

“It’s been a while, Xian.”

“Really, how did this happen? And what did the white-winged knight do?”

The reason why I couldn’t help but be surprised was the title of White Wing Knight.

black and white wings. The black and white wings are knights that symbolize the light and darkness of the empire.

They escort the emperor from the front and back, so only those who are truly outstanding in terms of skills will be able to do it.

It’s not confirmed yet, but I couldn’t help but be surprised to see Scarlett who was nominated.

“I just got lucky. And I… I’ve been busy lately, but I’ve improved my skills a lot.”

“Isn’t it difficult?”

“Um~ sparring with the royal guards is very difficult… I thought it was okay because I endured while thinking of you?”

Scarlett, who has a faint smile at the end of those words, seems to have smirked at the difference from the last time.

“That’s great though, congratulations Scarlett.”

“No, I’d rather just be like this than that.”

We had forgotten that we had arrived at the tea party in the middle of our conversation.

The maids and butlers, who appeared from nowhere, brought tea and snacks, and we settled down as if facing each other to catch the atmosphere.

‘Eileen is also very nervous. What are you anxious about?’

I didn’t know what the princess was aiming for, but her smile as if she was having fun made me uneasy.

“Keuheum, is it okay if I ask how the two of them met?”

“At first, it’s all I ran into at the training ground. I started getting used to it with a little ‘advice’… I just recognized the talent.”

“Tsk… First of all, we should celebrate.”

Aileen and Scarlett, who congratulated her even though they hated it internally, stayed by the princess’ side with a smile as if they were happy to see her.

‘But if Scarlett becomes a true white-winged knight, will she receive a title?’

There are quite a few cases of being chosen by the imperial family and becoming nobles. In the first place, I heard that our family also became a low-class aristocrat by helping the imperial family who fled in the past.

Then, if she makes a contribution in the future, she could become a noble… .

“Is it okay if I ask you something?”

“Tell me.”

“If Scarlett becomes a white-winged knight, then will she receive the title as well? I won’t be a commoner forever.”

“Hmm… Well, if Princess Bourne’s guards were from commoners, they might talk a lot.”

After seriously listening to my question, the princess looked at Scarlett for a moment and began to ponder.

Eileen, who was looking at me nervously, could see that I wasn’t comfortable with the current situation as I relaxed even after holding my hand tightly.

“Later, it’s easy to become a baron or a viscount…”

“Oh, Viscount, you’re just like me! Congratulations, Scarlett.”

Since my family is a viscount, I was able to understand the benefits they had.

Although not as good as a high-ranking aristocrat, he can still lead a life that is incomparable to that of a commoner.

You can spread your feet wider than a merchant by bringing a maid, a butler, and a dedicated chef to do housework.

‘Because the benefits of nobles are enormous.’

I think the saying that aristocrats go through three generations even if they perish is a good expression of the reality of the caste system.

“So what do you think, Scarlett?”

“It’s me… I’m just sending my infinite gratitude to the princess who took it.”

“Well, nothing has been confirmed yet. First of all, Eileen has something to say, so shall we talk alone?”

“Um… No, except for the knights?”

“Of course. It’s just the two of us talking.”

Eileen, who was looking at him anxiously, nodded as if he agreed. The pressure in my hands disappeared, and I stood up.

Scarlett, who was in the seat in front of me, also got up and held out her arms as if escorting me.

“First of all, since you’re my best friend’s ‘fiance’, take good care of me.”

“Definitely. I will protect it.”

Unlike usual, he looked at the knightly figure with satisfaction. It was so beautiful to see her gradually making her dream come true.

‘Good. I was afraid that you would suffer too much because of me… It looks like I don’t have to worry about it.’

Believing that, he slowly left the place.

“How did this happen?”

“what?”

“Tsk, don’t you know who that girl… likes?”

Bestea would have known. If it’s that gloomy woman who likes to observe people, that’s for sure.

‘What are you thinking? He started talking about strange sensual novels.’

I felt like I was going crazy because I couldn’t keep up with the spirit of that strange woman.

“Um~ I don’t know. I just reached out because there’s a cadet who needs help.”

“Whoa… Do you know what you’re doing? Is it okay to do this as a close friend?”

“I didn’t do anything special. I just recruited talented people and instilled courage in them.”

‘This is why I bothered Bestea…’

I seemed to remember why, after meeting Xian, I cut down on my time with her.

The type of person who builds up little by little stress over a long period of time, a person who is competent but doesn’t want to be around.

I’ve been spending time with her lately, feeling like she’s been docile, but she hasn’t changed.

It was just that there was no one to fulfill that bad hobby.

With a sense of displeasure, I sipped sweet treats into my mouth to replenish the sugar.

‘Let’s never fall for the pace. The moment I get pushed back, it’s only hard for me.’

As in the past, I put a mask on my face to hide my emotions.

“Eileen, you seem more emotional than usual. Wouldn’t it be better to calm down a little. I didn’t do anything.”

“Whoa… I was just curious too. Why are you trying to recruit the white-winged knight from now on?”

“Um~ There are many reasons, but I saw it.”

When you ask me to tell you why, you just spit out nonsense.

“Because I’ve seen it, a love close to madness trapped inside a person.”

“hmm?”

“The kind of talent who can harbor more vicious miasma than anyone else. A miasma close to insanity that can’t be compared to those who work hard.”

‘You’re crazy, sensual novels aren’t the problem, I just can’t understand it.’

I can understand that she trains with venom, but what does this matter now?

In the Empire, there are many geniuses who harbor even more venom and wield swords like crazy.

What possibility could there be for a cadet who hadn’t even graduated from a commoner’s class? Raw meat must be rather ordinary among knights.

“Anyway, you’ll find out soon, you know the venom of love, Aileen.”

“Tsk, I have no idea.”

I felt uneasy when I heard that I would find out soon, but I tried to ignore it and covered my face with a teacup.

‘What happened to Xi’an?’

Thinking back, I regretted sending them.

dump.

The two people who were walking on the lawn collapsed.

Scarlett is supporting her with one arm while placing cyan underneath.

The two looked into each other’s eyes and shut their mouths.

“Scarlett…?”
