Chapter 969 – #208_Scandal (5)
#963
One.
There were so many things to ask about Bondi.
After the scandal erupted, Albireo wrapped his head to clean up.
In a situation where he couldn’t point, he had endless discussions with Deneb to find a breakthrough.
In the meantime, the news that came out of nowhere.
[Shin Si-woo accepts the title of Blitz! The Upstart Witch’s Foolish Illusion]
[Despite the recent controversy over morality, the new Baron Shin Si-woo accepted the baronial title as a result of the decision made in the Tree of Sephirot.
The awarding of a title to a man unprecedented in the history of Gehenna itself brought a great shock to the witch society, but in particular, the person concerned did not explain anything about the question raised to him, and only gave the name of the baron representing all the citizens of Gehenna. Public criticism is pouring in for distorting the symbolism and honor of titles in the witch society through greedy and hasty judgments.
It is impossible to hide doubts about whether Shin Si-woo’s actions are a challenge to the legitimacy of the aristocratic system that has been going on for a long time, or whether he treats the angry public as so-called ‘dogs and pigs’ because he is originally from the present world.
I will continue to report on the new baron Shin Si-woo without giving in to any external pressure or conciliation, and I will fulfill my duty as a sane newspaper to convey the truth… ]
“Aaaaa!!!!”
Albireo tore through the tabloids without reading all of her articles.
The immature son-in-law quickly accepted the title of baron.
Of course, the eyes rolled.
Why did you arbitrarily accept the title of baron?
If Dandelion’s knight was a sniper, then the act of being recklessly awarded a title is self-destruction.
It is no different from choosing to commit social suicide among ‘be still’ and ‘social suicide’.
Albireo rushed to Takasho’s host bar to thoroughly check how confidently he had acted on his own without consultation.
It was such a feeling that I would grab my hair right away.
I sure did…
Albireo, who had treated Shiu alone, was busy tilting his head.
“Sorry for worrying you. It was definitely something that should have been done after the discussion.”
After pouring champagne, he crossed his legs and placed his clasped hands roughly on his lap.
Albireo blinked his eyes again.
We know that he put in great effort to live up to Albireo’s charisma project.
No matter how late it was at night, the nightstand was not turned off in Siu’s room, and his etiquette became more flawless day by day.
However, it was difficult to say that despite such efforts, he honestly paid off.
I must have used all the given pieces to put together the puzzle, but it felt like a few pieces were empty.
However, what cannot be clearly defined is the reality of supernatural authority and charisma.
Maybe the attempt to make it artificially wasn’t a failure, Albireo was even thinking about that.
But.
Shin Si-woo is different now.
Something different.
“I will explain slowly, so calm down first.”
“Do I look like I can calm my excitement?”
Albireo realized why he had come here at the words of Siwoo who stopped by the car he was confused about.
The timing to ask about the son-in-law’s reckless behavior.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
Suddenly, Siu’s hand reached Albireo’s ear.
It wasn’t such a quick move, but Albireo didn’t react at all because it was completely unexpected.
His fingertips brushed past her ears, gently caressing her fine black hair.
His fingertips even touched the pinna of his ear in the process.
“What, what are you doing…”
Albireo opened his mouth at his extraordinary behavior.
Although it was insignificant, I got goosebumps because it was an unexpected contact.
“You must have come in a hurry.”
As if he didn’t understand Albireo’s bewilderment, he calmly withdrew his hand and returned to his posture. A flower petal was hanging from his fingertip.
The flower petals must have stuck to her hair while she was rushing past the garden.
“…”
Only then did Albireo notice.
Lost the timing
A person the size of her was caught up in his pace in an instant.
At the same time, realizing that this was flirting, Albireo’s eyebrows tightened.
I know that the reason Takasho took him was to make Casanova dark and give him charisma.
But there is a time and a place!
“Count, count, please calm down.”
It was Takasho who stopped Albireo who was about to get angry.
He wrapped around Siwoo like a secretary and continued to explain softly.
“This guy is out of control right now.”
“Control? What control do you mean?”
“You’re acting out a new image, aren’t you?”
“Is that because you’re acting in a method?”
Albireo was full of spirits.
I heard that top actors sometimes blur the line between everyday life and acting when they become too immersed in their roles.
However, that level of immersion is honestly the realm of talent.
There was no justification for flirting with Albireo, broad-spectrum semantics, and sexual harassment.
“No. Siwoo is in a state of self-hypnosis, a kind of self-hypnosis, where he really becomes one with the character now.”
“What kind of dog is that…”
Albireo, who lost his dignity and barely swallowed the profane language that was about to jump out.
Takasho calmly continued his explanation even though he was sweating profusely.
“Count Adonai helped. The most important task in image making was mind control, so I thought it would be quicker to get help from magic.”
In other words, Siwoo’s goal is to gain charisma.
The route adopted in the process is the Casanova route.
What you need to ride the route is a strong sense of confidence and immersion.
However, when you put on new shoes, it takes some time just like you need a period of adaptation to adjust the shoes to your feet.
Utilize Count Adonai’s hypnotism to shorten the time.
The gist of the defense was that he deliberately induced a little over-immersion and overlaid ‘Shin Si-woo’s acting’.
The deadline is about 2 weeks.
Until Siwoo’s academic society held its establishment ceremony in earnest.
It also coincided with the end date of the Charisma Project, which Albireo and Siu had previously planned.
“Then now, Siwoo-kun is in a state of being one with the acting self… Is this?”
“That’s right. It will return to normal after a while.”
I thought that the prescription was a bit excessive, but Albireo looked at Siu again.
Even in this chaos, he was thoroughly lighting a new cigarette as if he were a third party.
It was so relaxing.
“…”
Looking back, it’s a masterpiece.
It looks like a personification of the word homme fatale.
In such a short amount of time, he achieved an atmosphere that he had no idea how long it would take to achieve.
On the contrary, the manners of each movement were less pure.
Sitting with legs crossed, smoking cigarettes face-to-face face-to-face without understanding, and wearing clothes that are comfortable are, strictly speaking, against etiquette.
But would it be called unrestrained nobility?
Rather, since there is no obsession with etiquette, every movement seems meaningful.
Even minor mistakes in words and actions are wrapped up in naturalness.
It’s not ‘Aha, you’re making a mistake because you’re not properly educated on etiquette’, but you’re mistaken for ‘You’re so accustomed to it that you show off your dignity even though you’re not formal enough’.
At first glance, I could feel the rough wildness and ambition that did not want to be bound by old-fashioned ostentation.
“I did it, but… Something annoys me.”
In addition, the biggest difference is the two eyes full of confidence.
A servile attitude towards witches that could not be hidden even if Albireo told them not to.
I can’t see it even if I wash my eyes and look for it.
It seemed that the son-in-law, who was desperate for Albireo’s words, had died and had a new person installed.
It’s not because Siwoo’s acting is awkward that he seems displeased, it’s because Albireo’s prejudice worked this time.
In terms of results, it was a great transformation.
2.
Albireo acknowledged Takasho’s educational policy.
But that doesn’t end everything.
Siwoo took the title of baron on his own, and it cannot be taken back.
The unconventional move may add more charisma to the character of ‘Shin Si-woo’, who has made a new image.
Certainly, his newly settled image focused on the wild beauty and ambition that only men can produce, rather than the unique characteristics of high-ranking witches.
In any case, the place where life and death must be risked is the founding ceremony of the society.
After the founding ceremony, they will hold a simple ball as an after party, but they should aim for a reversal of the atmosphere by showing off their polished charisma.
You have to seize it on your first debut in the social world.
Of course, it won’t be easy.
The place of the next class is the dance room of Count Zemanai.
Albireo put his hand on his waist and asked.
“Siwoo-kun, are you ready?”
Befitting the location, Albireo’s attire was a ball gown.
Black fabric with short sleeves and an off-shoulder style were used to create a black and white contrast between white shoulders and black fabric.
“Of course.”
Siwoo also stood facing Albireo in a banquet tuxedo with a beige fabric accent on the waist.
You may wonder what kind of dance class it is, but Albireo also had a plan.
“Even if I make mistakes in other parts, I don’t know if I can bury them with the atmosphere. But it’s not dancing. It will become a joke on the day you even step on it. You must have read all the basic books I asked you to look at, right?”
“Yes, I understand. I also did a little practice.”
The most popular dance in Gehenna society is the waltz.
It is a dance in which men and women pair up to go round and round to the music in 3/4 time.
At first glance, there is an impression that it looks easy, but it is rather simple, so there are many parts to pay attention to.
Even the smallest mistakes stand out.
“I will check first.”
“Yes, then…”
Siwoo came to practice.
Albireo was taken aback when he suddenly came closer.
It was because of the height difference and the sense of volume that I was conscious of again.
Even though Albireo was wearing heels, half of his head was different.
I didn’t know it because I always acted like a squat, but the difference in physique between the two was obvious.
How to say
Embarrassed.
Of course, even though I knew it was acting, he looked very unfamiliar.
Seeing as if he knew Albireo’s feelings, Siu held out one hand to him while showing an appropriate smile.
“Shall we dance to the next song? Lady.”
After hesitating for a moment, Albireo quietly spread out the hem of his skirt and held his hand after bowing silently.
“Miss the lady. Siwoo-kun.”
