102. Engaged? You just need to bring your body (5)
102. Engagement? You just need to bring your body (5)
The next morning.
I opened my eyes feeling refreshed.
Is it because I was treated extremely well yesterday?
I felt like my mind was clear.
“It was nice to take a bath with warm water and the bed was soft.”
Verdium family.
Is it better to live than you think?
“The food is good, the service is good, the bedding is good, the interior design is also excellent…”
What would it feel like if there was a 5-star hotel in this world?
It wasn’t like this in the past, but it seemed like Nadia had performed her duties as head of the household well.
I wasn’t able to tour the Verdium estate, but the mansion boasted excellent quality.
To the extent that I want to live my whole life without any worries.
“…If I really live, other villains will cause trouble, so it might be impossible.”
It means that the level of Verdium Mansion is excellent.
I rolled over once to feel the comfort of the bed, then got up and started grooming myself.
“This should be simple enough.”
It took about 30 minutes.
In order to maintain the dignity of a nobleman, I finished the basic grooming, adjusted my clothes, and opened the door.
Kkiik-
Was he waiting for me in the hallway far away?
A maid came towards me and guided me.
“You can come this way.”
“Where are you taking me?”
“It’s a garden. The head of the house has ordered us to guide guests when they wake up.”
Stern tone, like a robot.
As guided by her maid, I followed her to her garden.
“The head of the family is here.”
“Okay, thank you.”
The maid greeted me and leisurely disappeared toward her destination.
‘It’s more of a garden than that…’ It reminds me a lot of the old days.’
When I was Nadia’s servant.
When I went out for a walk in her garden with Nadia, I would stand next to her and put her parasol on her.
Nadia knelt down on her floor and cut her fingers down to kill her ants.
She generally liked the act of pressing her ant’s waist and splitting her in two.
“It’s not something anyone taught me. Nadia used to enjoy doing that.”
Do I have to say that I was able to see Ssaksu from a young age?
When she saw what she was doing to me, she felt no different from before.
Nadia, she’s still pressing me with her fingers so that she can’t breathe.
“Come sit here, Damien.”
Nadia waves her hand and orders me from afar.

She was sitting on a chair in the flower garden, and behind her were full of red roses in full bloom.
I slowly approached Nadia and sat in the seat in front of her.
“Good morning, Nadia.”
“That’s right, good morning. What a great morning with Damien. “Did you sleep well?”
“Yes, thanks. “The facilities were better than before.”
“I changed everything after you disappeared. Because I don’t like being touched by other people. Still, I’m glad. “I’m going to live here for the rest of my life and I’m satisfied.”
A tone of voice that seems to have already been decided.
Without saying a word, Nadia pointed to the teacup with her hand to her maid.
The maid rushed over and poured black tea into a teacup.
Nadia used her powers to push a teacup filled with black tea towards me.
“Drink.”
“… “
“Because there was nothing inside. “Drink without doubt.”
“… Okay.”
It seemed like she had taken some suspicious drugs.
I guess you didn’t have to do something like that.
I put aside her suspicions about Nadia and held the teacup to her mouth.
Hmm.
‘… ‘Is making people want to live here also a strategy?’
The taste was extremely good.
As she slowly savored the taste of black tea, Nadia rested her chin on her desk and smiled.
“My mansion. Do you like it, Damien?”
“… Well, I like it in my own way. “It was decorated well.”
“Then I’m glad. “Because my efforts were not in vain.”
Nadia brought her face closer to me and continued her words.
“I made a promise after you disappeared from the mansion. Don’t miss it next time. So I focused on raising the standard of the mansion.”
“… So that I don’t think about running away?”
“That’s right, I made you think that you wanted to live here. Exactly within my reach. It made Damian want to live. “I really like that, Damien.”
Nadia’s cheeks turned red as if she was excited as she spoke her thoughts.
Is it because I am an artist?
It felt like she had perverted tastes.
‘How far do you want to own me?’
The surrounding environment must also be touched, controlled, and controlled.
Nadia’s abnormal possessiveness.
I didn’t think having me would make him weaker, but rather it would only get worse.
‘By the way.’
Clatter-
I asked as I put the teacup down on the table.
Before getting into the main topic, I swallowed dryly.
“… “Nadia.”
“Why, Damien?”
“But there it is.”
“Yes, tell me.”
“When are you planning to hold the engagement ceremony you mentioned? “I thought I should know since I am also attending.”
“Hmm, Damian was curious about that?”
Pisik-
Nadia twisted the corner of her mouth as if it was funny.
Did I choose the wrong question?
She straightened her legs, got up from her seat and came next to me.
She then sat down on my lap, looked me directly in the eye, and said.
“But what can I do? “I don’t plan on telling Damien.”
“What… ?”
“Do you think I’ll be fooled once or twice? If you tell me the date of the engagement ceremony, Damien, you might get ready to run away like last time. “Don’t you think I’m such a fool, Damien?”
Nadia stretched out her arms and wrapped hers around my neck.
And then, she pulled my face towards her.
2Cm.
The distance where each other’s lips seem to touch.
At that delicate distance, Nadia regained her appetite and muttered.
“Damian, just stay still. I’ll take care of everything. I have set a schedule and am preparing. “How many times have I told you that you just need to come physically?”
“Still, as the groom, you need to know how the preparations are going”
“Damian isn’t interested in that. Instead, they want to run away.”
… You know.
Nadia’s voice seemed to pierce me.
Nadia pressed her body close to me and whispered in my ear.
“Did you think I didn’t know?”
That voice was like the whisper of the devil trying to drag me to hell.

“I can’t find an answer.”
Fondant-
Evening time.
As I washed away my fatigue in the bathtub, I thought about what happened today.
“What I did today was eating with Nadia, reading a book with Nadia, drinking tea with Nadia, taking a walk with Nadia, with Nadia-“
… When I listed it, there was nothing I did without Nadia.
At least for now.
It’s about washing one’s body in a bathroom where women are not allowed.
That is the only alone time I am allowed to rest.
“Ha, the standard is high and good, but… It feels like being controlled and raised… “
You could say this is good too, but…
For some reason, my heart was filled with a feeling of frustration.
It was even more frustrating because there wasn’t even an escape route in sight.
“… Should I just think about how to explain the engagement to Bluebell and Yuri from now on?”
Bubbling-
I was submerged in the bathtub, producing bubbles and thinking deeply.
To come up with a plan to overcome this situation.
‘I hate engagement! Even if you say that, it won’t work… To deal with evil women… In the end, I too… ‘
No.
Now I think that may have gone too far.
I shook off the water from my head and at the same time shook away the distracting thoughts.
Now that all the fatigue in my body had melted away, I tried to get out of the bathtub.
At that moment.
Rumble-!
“What, what is it?”
A strange sound started coming from the ceiling.
I am on the 5th floor, the top floor of the mansion.
What can make such a loud sound…
“Is it a rat? But it’s too loud to say it’s a mouse, and it’s too loud to say it’s a cat.”
Then, that is not a mouse or a cat, but ‘something’.
‘In the worst case scenario, he could be an assassin… ‘
I carefully moved to a wide area and prepared to fight the assassin.
With a towel wrapped around his waist.
Like that, a moment of tension.
Rumble-!
I could hear the wooden planks on the ceiling, and a woman’s voice that seemed like I had heard it somewhere before.
“Sinclair Damien.”
“Who… “
“The princess is looking for you. If you don’t want to get engaged and want to run away… “
Find Princess Charlotte in the city.
If so, I will do my best to help you.
Rumble-!
The mysterious voice left behind only those words, restored the ceiling to its original state, and left.
And, I felt like I vaguely knew the identity of that voice.
“Yuri’s classmate in swordsmanship. Was it Rose, Charlotte’s escort knight?”
And the important thing is that Charlotte is trying to help me.
Of course, rather than helping me, their intention is to take me to the Kingdom of Orsia.
“… Still, I don’t think it would be a bad idea to check on his condition after a long time and listen to his story.”
I’ll have to tell Nadia that I want to explore the city tomorrow.
Thinking like that, I was about to shake off the moisture from my body.
Knock knock-
“They said they heard a strange noise inside. “Can I come in?”
A maid who sensed something suspicious asked me the identity of the sound.
I answered while maintaining my composure so as not to be caught.
“Nothing happened.”
“But they said they could hear a sound…” “
“I just almost slipped for a moment. “Nothing happened.”
“… All right.”
Thus, the maid easily retreated.
How did that news reach Nadia’s ears?
Rumors circulated around her mansion that the pay of the maid who tended her bathhouse had been cut.
‘… Sorry.’
Since Nadia’s ears and eyes were everywhere in Verdium Mansion, she felt that she should think carefully about her excuses next time.
