“If I wanted to kill you, should I let you live like this now?”
“I know… … .”
Ray turned over so his wound didn’t touch the bed and spoke to Pia.
“I don’t trust you.”
“… Please rest comfortably for now. This is my mansion. “There is no way the knights could come in.”
Ray did not turn his face towards her, but fell asleep soundly like a child.
And Pia watched Ray without saying a word and with a comfortable smile.

One day, under Laura’s direction, I went to someone’s inauguration ceremony.
In response to Laura’s instructions to come and congratulate the child who was inaugurated as head of the family this time on his behalf, he strongly objected to Laura, asking how he could congratulate 12 families on their inauguration as head of the family.
But she persuaded me, saying that she would ask for it this time, and that the child was different from the people who murdered his parents.
I really didn’t want to go.
Aren’t the 12 families the trash people who murdered my parents?
‘You’re sending me to the inauguration ceremony of such a person as the head of the family. ‘It’s clear Laura hates me.’
I still vividly remember going to that child’s inauguration ceremony while grumbling like that.
‘All I have to do is say congratulations and come out. ‘If I stay any longer, I’ll just feel worse.’
At the entrance to the outdoor inauguration hall, I made that promise and walked confidently as if I was proud of the other nobles.
But as if my steps were not of interest to them, their eyes were fixed on the new head of the family who was giving his inauguration speech.
‘what?’
I turned my eyes to the girl who was giving her inauguration speech while grumbling to herself.
At that place… … .
“… Now that we have done that, we will continue to strive to build good relationships with you. thank you for listening.”
There was an ‘angel’.
No, there was just a girl about my age.
It’s definitely not love at first sight or anything like that.
I stood next to the girl, mesmerized.
And when she came down from the podium, I remembered what I had to do and walked towards her.
I was planning to just give a normal congratulations and leave, but… … .
“Hey~ The new head of the Funnes family. I enjoyed the inauguration speech. It was really touching. also… hmm… What can I say? “You have great ambition.”
A man in his forties walked up to her first, passing me, and spoke to the head of the house with a bright smile.
‘Well, I guess I can say it after that person.’
While I was thinking leisurely, I inadvertently ended up listening to what the man was saying to the girl.
“It was like a green fruit with fresh yet ripe juice. Oh, sorry. Since my family is a merchant family, this is the only expression that comes to mind. Anyway, I was impressed.”
‘What? What about that damn expression?’
Although he is expressing himself in clumsy metaphors to pretend to be a poet, his face seems to be looking at his daughter.
No matter how young the girl is, she is the head of the family, so seeing her with that face… … .
But there is no reason for me to intervene.
That girl might like such vulgar expressions, and more than anything, the reason she would get involved with the matriarchs… … .
“that… That means… … .”
However, the moment I saw her face, as if she was in trouble, as if she was about to cry, and the faces of the nobles preparing to laugh around her, my mouth started moving of its own accord.
“Sounds like fruit! “The acting head of the family.”
How did I know that man was the acting head of the family?
Simple.
The man introduced his family as a merchant family.
And he has light brown hair.
In this country, the only merchant family whose symbol is light brown hair is the Brienne family, one of the 12 families.
But as far as I know, the head of House Brienne was never this thin.
Based on these three pieces of information, I decided that this man was merely a person with the rank of acting head of the household.
Of course, the head of the family may have changed or lost weight before you know it.
But before I could think about that assumption, my mouth stopped moving.
Of course, when I swore, the man blushed and got angry at me.
And only then did the nobles around me show their sharp anger towards me.
Perhaps it was true that he was the acting head of the family, but he didn’t say much about it.
It was fortunate.
“Tsk!”
As a result of my growling, Acting Head of House Brienne clicked her tongue as if she was seeing something dirty and left.
Unsure if this was a help or a nuisance, I immediately turned my attention to the girl.
I was worried that she might have acted arbitrarily, but the girl… … .
“… … .”
He bowed his head without even saying thank you.
As if scared.
‘… okay. This is natural. ‘I’m going to pretend to be some kind of hero.’
This world is not a novel.
I realized too late that the nice story about helping a beautiful woman in trouble and receiving a thank you did not apply to me.
It’s a good thing if you don’t think it’s a nuisance to interrupt in the middle of a conversation.
Even if I were to feel grateful just once, there is no way the head of the 12 families would express gratitude to me.
It was too late for me to realize this simple thing.
no… Maybe she just didn’t want to notice.
“Ray Valliere. No matter how much you are Ray, you cannot attend the inauguration ceremony without an invitation. “Please come back.”
The servant behind her blocked my path.
There was a clear look of disapproval on his face.
The servant standing between me and the girl spoke with a blunt expression, as if he wanted to send me away at any moment.
“Laura congratulates you on your inauguration. “He asked me to tell you that he couldn’t come today because he had something to do.”
I said it as coolly as I could, pretending nothing had happened, and then left the place.
The girl’s face lingered in my mind until the end, but I decided to forget it as quickly as possible.
Because that would be good for me and her.

A few hours later.
Ray, who was half asleep, finally got out of bed after a completely unrefreshing sleep.
Ray is already unable to fall into a deep sleep anywhere other than his own home, so how can he fall asleep in the bed of the head of the 12 families?
Ray quickly tried to get his tired body up, but pressed his side against the rising pain.
Only after that was I able to look around.
“… huh?”
And only then was Ray able to find Pia sitting on a chair to the left of the bed he was lying on, reading a book.
“… It’s a surprise.”
“It’s too late to be surprised.”
“… “Have you been doing this this whole time?”
“yes. “He looked quite cute when he was sleeping.”
“Ugh… … .”
‘You’re giving Pia a weakness.’
Ray wiped the saliva from his mouth, saying it was his fault.
Even though my mind was half awake… To be honest, the body was leaking so much saliva that it drenched the bed.
“ji… What time is it now?”
“It’s 7 o’clock. I will instruct you to prepare dinner.”
“no! That’s not it?! How many hours have I been sleeping here? No, I didn’t sleep well… … .”
“Did you have an uncomfortable sleep?
“that… That’s not the case! Ah! really!”
“ruler… wait a minute! It hasn’t been long since I was treated. “It looks like some of the effects of still remain!”
Pia quickly gets up from her seat and stops him. While Ray was sleeping, a doctor was called to treat his wounds, but it was only emergency treatment, so in order to recover properly, he had to wait until the non-recoverable effect of was lifted.
‘Normally, it would be resolved in 3-4 hours… White bastard… ‘You put it in with intention?’
has a structure where the duration increases as magical power is put into the magic sword.
For a long time, Ray’s wounds would not heal, long enough to see how much White would have wanted to subdue him.
“Damn it. “Is there somewhere I can stay?”
“Can’t we do this here?”
“What do you believe in? Well, I’d like to be thankful that nothing much happened while I was sleeping, but… “It’s a bit hard for me to trust you, right?”
“… “What part do you mean?”
“ok?”
Ray looked at Pia with a stunned expression, as if he didn’t think she would say something like that.
But soon after seeing her expression, I knew something was wrong.
“… “What part of me are you so suspicious of?”
“… “Don’t you know that too?”
“Heads of the 12 families… “It’s because of that.”
“I know very well.”
For some reason, Pia’s expression looked sad as she said that.
When she, who was always relaxed and smiling, made that kind of expression, Ray felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.
Pia said, biting her slightly swollen lower lip with her upper lip while protecting Ray.
“If I… If it weren’t for the 12 families… If I wasn’t the head of the family… Here… “Will you stay longer?”
“what? why me? Why on earth do you want me to stay here in the first place? By any chance, have you already reported it to the Knights?”
Ray immediately regretted saying those words.
Because the emotions on Pia’s face became more intense and covered her entire beautiful face.
“Ray… To Ray, me too… “Can’t you forgive me?”
“I don’t know what that means. I forgive you? What did you do wrong to me… … .”
“I am!”
Ray was interrupted and Pia’s voice echoed throughout the bedroom.
Ray looked at Pia with his eyes wide open, as if he had never expected the always gentle woman to raise such a loud voice.
Pia placed her hand on her heart and spoke pathetically and earnestly.
“Ray. I am… “If you want, Ray, you can even give up your position as the head of the 12 families.”
“what?”
“I want to be that helpful to Ray. I also want to become an ally that Ray can trust! Why am I… … .”
Pia spoke earnestly, even with a few tears.
However, to Ray, her behavior was something he could not understand, no matter how sad it was.
“… You’re a little strange. You were originally… … .”
“no. “I don’t find it strange.”
Pia said that, got up from her seat and walked towards Ray.
Because of that, Ray barely stood up and then fell down on the bed again.
Pia pushed Ray onto the bed and looked down at him, barely able to begin to speak through her neck.
“Ray. How can I trust Ray? How do I… … .”
“nine… Do you really need to gain my trust? radish… Of course, thank you for helping me like this. But you don’t necessarily need my trust, right? As for my trust… … .”
“Don’t say that. Because your trust is more important to me than anyone else’s… … .”
Pia’s voice was earnest.
And I was desperate.
Ray sat down on the bed and couldn’t even think about getting up due to a voice that didn’t belong to her.
“you… … .”
“Ray. I am… … .”
Her silky hair falls over Ray’s face.
And hot water droplets fall between them.
“I want to be of help to you.”
