Chapter 598 – Chapter 598 Magic School Shutra (4)
I arrived at Louise’s room with Karin, but I couldn’t get through the room door.
It was because of the man blocking the door.
“Thank you for coming, but it must be difficult right now.”
Kai Brandrup.
Louis and Karin’s father, and Anna Brandtrup’s husband.
He was the first to settle down and stopped us from visiting the hospital.
Karin jumped right into the mood and asked Kai with a pretentious expression.
“Duke, I heard that Louis was injured. Are you okay?”
“It’s not a big deal for the senator, but he says he needs to rest for a while.”
I giggled inwardly when I heard Kai’s words.
‘It’s not a big deal… A broken cock can’t be a big deal.’
In fact, looking at the situation itself, the seriousness of the situation was roughly visible.
The situation where the head of Brandtrup is throwing away guests who come to see him in front of the guest room.
There was a strong feeling of trying to prevent negative words from spreading outside.
‘Well, there might be a setback in the prospective head of household’s child production, but it’s going to be hard to get over it in moderation.’
If this place was on the side of Yggdrasil or the consulate, he would have been cured in no time.
Because there are recovery skills and potions in both worlds.
Unfortunately, Shutra was a world without those two.
‘I have no obligation to treat you.’
Wouldn’t it be better to look at the suffering on the contrary….
When I couldn’t enter Louis’s room like that, Kai looked at me and said in a solemn voice.
“I came to see you like this, but I’m sorry I threw you out.”
Kai’s expression towards me has changed a lot.
At first, she just treated her son as a guest.
However, thanks to his subjugation of the thieves and the rescue of the viscount, he seemed not to be treated as an ordinary guest.
Looking at Kai like that, I replied with her bitter smile.
“It’s okay. I’ll stop by again later when things get better.”
“Yes, give me. If you need anything or have any inconvenience, please tell me directly.”
“Thank you.”
As soon as I thanked her like that, Karin, who was next to her, gently hugged my arm, and she said to Kai with a soft smile.
“The Duke will be busy for the time being, so I will take care of Mr. Seong Su-ho’s convenience.”
“… You?”
For the first time, Kai, who had maintained his expressionless expression, looked at Karin with a puzzled expression.
And Kai’s gaze quickly turned to mine and Karin’s arms.
As if I saw something I shouldn’t have seen….
“Yes. The duke and mother are busy for a while. Since I have some spare time, I will take care of the guests.”
It was reasonable to listen to the lines.
Kai and Anna will be busy taking care of Louis for a while.
That’s why it won’t be easy to keep dealing with each time I visit….
However, despite hearing Karin’s words, a positive answer did not come out easily from Kai’s mouth.
“….”
He just watches me being attached to Karin with displeasure….
Kai’s appearance made her look as if her fatherly instincts prevented her from uttering the words of consent.
That was when Kai’s mouth was tightly shut.
“Yes? What are you doing here?”
Anna Brandrup appeared.
When Anna appeared, Karin quickly began to explain the situation.
“Seong Su-ho said he wanted to visit Louis, so I came with him.”
And along with that part, he even explained how Karin offered to take care of Seongsuho’s convenience.
Kai, who heard Karin’s words, shook her head softly.
She said, “She heard that you also accompanied me to defeat the bandits. You’ll be tired, so take a break for a while….”
Kai rejected Karin’s relationship with me, but she couldn’t finish his words and was cut off by Anna next to her.
“Okay. I will leave Seong Soo-ho to you. He is the benefactor of the Brandrup family, so take care of him wholeheartedly.”
“Big….”
Kai soon put on a disapproving expression, but she couldn’t seem to find anything to refute Anna’s words.
“Then I’ll see you later when things get better.”
“… I’ll let you know when things get better.”
So let’s say hello to Kai….
“Let’s go. I’ll show you more of Atler, which I couldn’t show you before.”
Karin took me and started moving somewhere, tucking her arms around her chest.
As I was being dragged by Karin, I scanned Kai’s expression.
Expressionless when I first saw it, embarrassed today, and now….
‘Nice… I’m sure he’s father and son with Louis.’
It contained anger.
It was like Louis staring at me with Luna.
I avoided Kai’s gaze and smirked into her.
‘The wife next to her will care more than her daughter.’
I smiled like that and was taken to Karin.
***
Karin took Seongsuho and left, and the two quickly disappeared from sight.
Kai, who saw the disappearance of the two, opened her mouth with a disapproving expression.
“Ma’am… No matter how much I think about it, putting the two together doesn’t seem like a good idea.”
“What are you talking about?”
Hearing Anna’s questionable answer, Kai began to question himself.
Anna is a quick-witted woman.
She wondered whether such a woman was really unaware of her own intentions, or whether she was pretending not to be.
Kai started to reveal her inner feelings that she usually never revealed on the outside after a long time.
“I heard that the two accompanied the subjugation… Didn’t you say that if people stick together often, there will be a level of non-existence?”
“What’s the big deal about that?”
“Surely it’s not a problem, is it? Karin is a body with her fiancé and….”
Karin is not formal, but she is known to be betrothed.
Jeff Potts.
At Kai’s words, Anna narrowed her eyes and glared at him.
And she scolded him in a low voice.
“You… You don’t think the engagement is still valid, do you?”
“Hasn’t the decision to break off the marriage yet….”
“Oh My God… Are you still thinking of making the man who tried to rape her wife her son-in-law?”
Jeff Potts secretly hid in Anna’s bedroom, and was unconscious after being beaten to death by Seongsuho before trouble arose.
Currently, Jeff Potts is charged with attempted rape of the Duchess.
Even if Jeff was the only son of a count and a prospective son-in-law of a duke, the crime was too serious.
It was a situation where we could discuss not only the breakup of the marriage, but also astronomical reparations and Jeff’s execution, let alone pacification.
However, that part was also mixed with realistic problems, so it was not easy to proceed.
“Ma’am… Shouldn’t you know better since you tried to marry Karin to Jeff? Not only us, Her Majesty has received too much from Countess Potts.”
“….”
Anna gently narrowed her eyebrows and turned away from Kai with a low expression.
Anna, too, knew how great the wealth of Count Potts was.
Because it was none other than Anna who actively pushed Karin to marry Jeff in the first place.
But now things turned upside down.
‘After breaking up with Jeff Potts, Sung Soo-ho… I have to marry her Karin to him.’
In Anna’s eyes, her wealth was no longer in sight.
There was only Seongsuho.
She is a student at Seongsuho Stra, and won first place with excellent grades.
As she is a talent that even Levin Kingdom has her eyes on, there was no reason to look at her strangely from the outside even if she was attached to Karin.
Anna did not hesitate to offer Karin as long as she could be with Sung Soo-ho.
“I see. Leave those two alone, though. He is a guest and benefactor of our family.”
Kai put on an expression that he didn’t want to understand, but she eventually nodded her head and agreed.
“Hmm… OK.”
“Then let’s see Louis’ condition.”
“I’ve given you sleeping pills, so you should be sleeping.”
“A sleeping pill?”
Kai answered Anna’s question.
***
“They said that in order to reduce stimulation as much as possible, they should be made to relax with sleeping pills.”
She doesn’t need surgery, but it’s important to get her as stable as possible with medication, she said.
“So you’re sleeping?”
“Yes. It will probably stay that way for a few days.”
“Did you already know and asked me to go with you?”
After Karin told me about Louise’s condition, she asked me to visit her in the hospital.
She knew she would be rejected in the first place….
“Yes. If it were the Duke, he wouldn’t have let Louis in anyway, even if he was awake.”
“Why did you ask me to go?”
Karin walked gracefully without stopping her feet, glanced at me and smiled at her.
“I wanted to show the duke my relationship with you.”
“… ?”
“Not many people know about Lewis’ condition right now.”
The only people who knew about Lewis’ penile fracture were the Brandrup family and the medical staff.
But in the midst of that, I, who should not have known about this fact, already knew and came to visit me in the hospital?
Kai Brandrup would have noticed.
The fact that her own daughter, who came with me, told her everything….
“Even the duke must have noticed by now. The relationship between you and me….”
It was also Karin.
Every action was mixed with calculated intentions.
However, I was able to realize one thing in the current situation.
“From now on, Duke Brandrup will take great care of me.”
From now on, whenever I slept with Anna or Karin, it meant that I had to be on her nerves that much.
‘I’ll have to be careful for a while.’
If you are caught sleeping with Karin, it is enough to justify that it is a romance that occurred in the process of subjugating her bandits.
However, if his relationship with Anna is compromised, no excuses will work.
Karin looked at me and smiled lightly.
“From now on, act carefully so as not to get caught by the duke.”
“Why did you show it to the Duke?”
It wasn’t an insult.
It was just a question.
It didn’t seem necessary to change the easy difficulty to hardcore.
However, the need seemed desperate to Karin.
“… I didn’t want to make the Duke think nonsense.”
Under the current circumstances, the breakup of Karin and Jeff’s engagement was almost certain.
It will be quiet for now, but as soon as the breakup is known, countless nobles and families will stick together to catch Karin.
Karin showed the duke her relationship with me in advance and prevented her bugs from being entangled in advance.
‘Hey… There is another plan within the plan.’
However, apart from her perfect plan, there was one concern.
“What if Louis speaks?”
Louis was in a situation where he knew that I, Karin, and Anna had a 3P.
The moment Louis mentions that fact, not only the Brandrup family but also Levin’s kingdom will be devastated.
But despite my concerns about her, Karin shook her head.
“Louis will never speak.”
“How sure are you?”
Karin said with a refreshing smile with an undisturbed expression.
“You think Mama Boy will do something to ruin her own mother?”
“Ah….”
I didn’t know that.
Louis was a mama boy….
Well, even at the masquerade, I was annoying because I clung to Anna.
“I will keep my mouth shut until I recover. After he recovers, he will approach you first and threaten you.”
“So that means I have some time to spare.”
I was relieved to hear Karin’s words.
As she said, if Louise was her mama’s boy, she’d never go around bragging about me sleeping with her mother.
“Heh… You have plenty of room.”
“Well, there is no reason to worry. The opponent is Louis.”
When I said something disparaging about Louis, Karin’s graceful steps stopped.
Then he looked up at me and smiled.
“I don’t think anyone in the world would speak that way about Lewis to my face.”
It seemed he liked my remarks quite a bit.
Karin is such a woman.
She is a woman who likes a confident man.
It was the moment when the heat was slowly rising between Karin and me.
Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from far away.
“Mr. Suho?”
Surprised by the sudden voice, I distanced myself from Karin and looked at the place where the voice came from.
“Karin… Sir?”
It was Luna.
