Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 85

Lenisa's admonition ended simply..

Since I was now in the same position as the attendant, I was just making a bit of a bitter comment in the hope that there would be no confusion during the remaining time. Rather, from the standpoint of Itisel, he seemed very surprised and satisfied that the person who had established a close relationship with the princess of the empire was an acquaintance of Ragnis..

When I heard the story, I heard that someone who was either the captain of Esmuët's guard or the captain of her personal guard came and told her that she had taken me away. She had already seen Esmuët embarrassed and hesitant when she first visited the mansion. I guess the seeds didn't even work.

By the way, that captain is clearly a fanatic of Jinseong Esmu..

Since she didn't express her opposition, she thought that my forcing her was no different from taking her.?

I'm getting goosebumps again.

"By the way...do you know what the Margin and the princess are talking about??"

"no. All I know is that the two of you thought about it for quite some time before you came back.."

About 3 hours after class ends. I was so curious that I wanted to eavesdrop, but I didn't have the talent or the courtesy to do so, so I decided to just sit in the living room..

If you don't notice me, I'm a corpse! I recognize that this is my fault..

"Truancy may have been a bit much, too.."

Still, my employer was Ragnis, and I acted too spontaneously. It's literally like an employee acting as he pleases even though he's friends with the boss. Let's apologize for this clearly..

The captain said that the princess had taken him, so the two of them will have a conversation first, but anyway, I will be the one who is called after the conversation is over..

◈

"The guard captain said that Esmueh took Eldmia.."

The air current that flows between Ragnis and Esmuye is neither desolate nor full of caution..

It was Ragnis who was just maintaining a calm and business-like attitude, and Esmueh was sitting and sipping tea in a relaxed and ordinary manner..

"It's a lie. But from his perspective it's true."

"What... do you mean??"

"He did not reject Eldmia's actions and opinions. She said that the next emperor of the empire did not refuse, which was no different from agreeing. That is why the captain of the Royal Guard said that Yeo took Eldmia with him.."

It's not possible for a lower-ranking person to take away a higher-ranking person. After saying that, Esmue snorted self-deprecatingly..

As I felt like returning to reality after a dream-like time, I made the excuse that it was the car that made me feel a little bitter..

"That's what being a genius and royalty is like. You are forced to take all actions in such a way that your decision is not questioned and your unwaveringness is not questioned. It can be said that having many outstanding subordinates is definitely a blessing... but doesn't even you know that? That the feeling of loneliness is separate from that.."

"...he is a commoner."

"Compared to knowing how to delve into the essence of the story, it's an ordinary excuse that you wouldn't even tell yourself.."

Esmuye, who made direct eye contact with Ragnis with a faint smile as if amused, declared exactly the same..

"marquis. duke, prince of a foreign country, king of a foreign country. In front of women, all of their actions are no different from those of commoners.."

Ragnis felt goosebumps appear all over his body at that unwavering answer..

There is no doubt or arrogance in the eyes. He does not even laugh at the margrave of a single kingdom himself. She just calmly told her truth..

Although others may feel jealous of that fact, there is no reason for the person involved to feel superior just by telling the truth..

"I have no intention of missing the opening Eldemia.."

Although the words seemed to drive a wedge, Esmuet's attitude remained the same..

"The reason I graduated from Leisure Academy by skipping a grade was because there was nothing more to learn there and at the same time, I had no contacts to gain. She'd rather be at loggerheads with the powerful in politics, and she was.."

4 years like that. she became the next emperor.

"What does it mean to spend four days of free time solely for Eldmia? Don't think she won't understand."

"understand."

I misjudged just by looking at the outside. At first, she thought she was no different from other academy ladies who had fallen prey to Eldmia. As a result, it was Ragnis himself who could not see his opponent properly..

How could I have believed that she was blinded by half-hearted love and romance? Because she looks small and cute? Because of the voice that feels young?

The opponent was the person who had obtained the title of the next emperor..

"Of course, that doesn't mean I'll show a coercive attitude or use power to force it. However, he will not hesitate to use the card he has. She will do everything in her power to love Eldmia, just as she did everything in her power for the position of emperor.."

Asilier was Eldmia's benefactor and a long-lived elf. Because of this, Ragnis implicitly felt that she was an insurmountable wall. Even within Eldmia, Asilier's presence was huge..

That is why. I thought it wouldn't matter if it was the second time. I believed that that much would be possible. I never imagined that my confidence would crumble like this..

Esmuye, who was sitting in front of me, felt like a huge wall like Asilier..

"What will you do??"

"yes?"

"Why are you so surprised? 'So give up Eldmia and step down.' You're reacting as if you thought I was going to force you to say that.."

Esmuye was sipping tea with a sour expression on his face, but Ragnis was unable to lift his tea cup even though his mouth was burning..

"I am not a fool. Genius. At first, I thought the Ogatorv family had lent talent to you, who were still underpowered, but that's not the case anymore. I don't know what the connection was, but you were probably the one who brought the dragon that was sleeping in Ogwen to the capital. Since your father was a member of the royal faction... do you think you would have come to terms with the situation where you were trampled by the noble faction? Because of his accomplishments, Ogatorf, who went to greet you, accepted him as a member of the household.."

You can't know everything, but you can guess something. Esmueh shrugged and said as if it was really no big deal..

"The gap before that when you were in hiding... I think you may have received help from him. Of course, in general, you could ask what on earth a kid from back then could do, but since this is not common, I consider that as a possibility. When you think about it that way, your feelings of love are fully understandable. Considering Eldmia's lack of awareness... it may seem a bit odd, but isn't it possible?."

No matter how different the country is, it is not easy to back down even when the next emperor is right in front of you. Because he valued that part, Esmuye decided to give advice to Ragnis, who could be considered his romantic enemy..

"I don't know what you're waiting for, but you have to reach out to get what you want. It's not something I take away so others can't get it.."

After sipping the last sip, Esmuye naturally stood up. Even though he himself summoned Ragnis, he could no longer hold Esmuët like that..

I was planning on making a formal statement and trying to get my point across, but instead Esmuye threw a sharp ball at me..

"Hey, can I ask you one thing??"

"hmm? What is it."

"Why... why did you suddenly become so interested in Eldmia in just one day??"

Esmuye smiled at the question that came in just as she was about to open the door and leave. It wasn't a mockery, I just laughed like it was fun..

"To her, everyone is ultimately a subordinate. Regardless of how Yeo treats her that way, she acts as if she firmly believes that everyone else is like that. No matter how confident they are and how hard they try, they are all the same in the end. I can confirm this because one of my jobs is to take off those masks.."

The answers continued as if there was nothing to worry about..

"There have been only four so far. A person who acts proudly in response to such a woman."

"Four people?"

"The woman’s adoptive parents. Warrior. And Eldmia."

Esmueh opened the door without any consent and gave his final answer through the closing door..

"And like an ordinary girl, the only person who treated her as someone like herself was Eldmia. Isn’t love something that blooms on equal footing??"

Ragnis did not follow. I didn't really care about Esmu either. It's a huge favor to do this much for your enemy. He couldn't help but admire his own generosity..

"Is the story over??"

As I came down the stairs, Eldmia, who was sitting by the fireplace in the living room, got up and asked. No other users were visible. I don't know if there were separate instructions or it was meal time, but Esmuer liked that..

I thought it would be great if the two of us could one day enjoy a leisurely life like this in the same space..

He was an unpleasant man who made me feel petty dissatisfied with many things that I had spent my entire life without dissatisfaction with..

"hmm. I'm going back now. Rather than that. Please bow down for a moment.."

Eldmia bowed calmly with a curious expression on her face, but after doing so, Esmuye had to admit that she had been mistaken..

"Eight. There's no point in having long legs. kneel down!"

"What are you trying to do?."

Still, the sight of him obediently kneeling again is quite cute. In many ways, despite her sharp appearance, she had a gentle side..

"When a person is tied to one goal, he or she cannot see his surroundings clearly. don't you know?"

"Yes...?"

"But if you know, why can’t you put it into practice?."

"yes?"

Although she was a little embarrassed, she decided to show the courage of the next emperor..

Esmuye gathered all her courage and gently grabbed Eldmia's cheeks and kissed her lightly, overcoming her pounding heart..

For a moment, I felt like the world had become quiet..

I felt like I couldn't come to my senses from the slight warmth I felt on my lips. She almost wanted to yell at her past self, who thought it was just a kiss, to stop talking nonsense..

As I ended the short kiss, feeling the heartbeat that had been ringing in my ears echoing through my head, I found Eldmia with her eyes wide open incongruously. It was fortunate. If he had a calm expression, he would have wanted to die..

"Look around some more. I don't know what your goal is, but I can see that you have no more time to spare than you have.."

"...Uh oh?"

"For your information, it was the first kiss.."

Esmueh felt like he would lose his mind if Eldmia came to his senses in panic, so he walked outside..

And then, as if running away, he got into the carriage prepared by the captain of the Royal Guard..
