99. Engaged? You just need to bring your body (2)
99. Engagement? You just need to bring your body (2)
How would you feel if your partner said something like this when you got married?
‘You just need to come physically.’
Good.
Because I don’t have to prepare in particular and I don’t have to do anything complicated.
This is even better in the Korean marriage culture where men must contribute most of the capital.
However, the weight varies depending on who said these words.
If I were a woman who was always dependable and trustworthy, I would have also shouted, ‘Of course it’s good!’
‘But… If Nadia, who has an unstable mind, says that… ?’
I don’t need your opinion.
I just need you.
I will prepare everything, so you stay still like a doll.
If we do that, we will be happy.
‘… It will definitely turn into words that carry that kind of weight.’
Damn.
Even when I opened my eyes in the morning, my head was so heavy that I couldn’t get out of bed easily.
I felt uneasy, as if hell would begin if I opened this door.
The engagement promise I made with Nadia had to be resolved.
Now was not a good time.
“Bluebell is also not in good condition, and I believe that Yuri can be with me…”
In such a situation, what if Nadia and I send a wedding invitation saying we are getting engaged, and the engagement ends?
“Empire or whatever. First of all, my life will not be left behind.”
Ah, I can already see death before my eyes.
I feel like I don’t want to get out of bed today.
It felt like a thick down blanket was weighing down my body.
“…Still, we can’t just sit still. We have to do something.”
That damn plan has already collapsed a long time ago.
If you make a plan that falls apart again, the evil woman will appear and destroy it.
What if you make plans again? Another evil woman appears and destroys it.
What would you do if you put effort into building a sand castle?
‘Hmm, did you make this, Damien? ‘It looks like I want to destroy it.’
I will break it.
Pow-
Just repeat this series of processes.
In the first place, it may have made no sense to predict human behavior patterns and make plans accordingly.
“I am not some kind of god, and I can predict every action. I just know the content of the original work. Tsk… “
But I can’t just lie in bed quietly.
I got out of bed and decided to talk to Nadia.
‘Shouldn’t I choose where I die?’
Nadia said it was too late to return to her estate, and she had spent the day sleeping in our house.
“… “Is that also a calculated action?”
The moment when Nadia feels even scarier.
The moment you turn the doorknob and open the door.
Squeak-
“You’re awake, Damian.”
“… “
My heart almost stopped this morning.
It was because Nadia was standing in front of my door.
She stood still with her arms crossed, looking as emotionless as usual.
I controlled my shocked heart and answered in as calm a tone as possible.
“You woke up early. “Did you sleep well?”
“I slept well. I felt at ease because the mansion smelled like Damian. “I was slightly jealous of this mansion that still had Damian’s traces on it.”
“I’m glad I’m a little coveted. “Our mansion isn’t as special as you might think.”
“Really? “I think differently.”
Sleep-
Nadia said, stroking the hallway wall with her delicate fingertips.
That action felt alluring.
“The place where Damian was born, the place where she grew up from her childhood. You could say that Damien’s life is contained here. Your traces are all over the place. That alone made me want to put this mansion in my art studio. So that no one can see. “So that only I can see it.”
As expected.
The way of thinking is not normal.
I answered Nadia’s words with as much of a smile as I could.
“Well, I see. If you look at it from that perspective, it could be so.”
“It’s not a matter of perspective; it’s natural. The world just doesn’t know Damian’s value. “If you find out, it will be recognized as having a really high value.”
That’s a bit shameful.
Even though I called myself a genius, I didn’t feel much shame.
When Nadia evaluates me so highly, I feel like I want to close my eyes and hide right now.
After saying those harsh words, Nadia looked around the hallway of the mansion and suddenly grabbed my hand.
“So, Damian.”
“Uh.”
“It looks like we still have a long way to go to prepare breakfast. “Let’s go outside and take a walk.”
“That’s right-“
Ttogak- Ttogak-
Before I could finish speaking, Nadia grabbed my arm and led me outside.
Attitude as if my answer was not important at all.
As I looked at Nadia’s back as she led me, I remembered what she said yesterday.
‘You just need to come physically.’
I felt like I would slowly and more deeply understand what those words meant from now on.
***
‘Damian is following along well.’
Pisik-
Nadia turned her face away and let out a joyous laugh so as not to be noticed by Damian who was behind her.
‘Cute Damian. ‘I’ll make sure you can never escape this time.’
From Nadia’s perspective, getting engaged to Damian wasn’t that difficult.
She goes to find Damian and meets his parents, who have the power to make decisions.
‘In the end, engagement and marriage are social acts that are done when one considers each other’s conditions and feels there is no harm.’
The Sinclair family suddenly made money and acquired a noble title.
In order for them to be born again as true nobles, it is right for them to marry into a legitimate noble family.
In that sense, the Verdium noble family is in fairly good conditions.
‘Glass. If that woman had quickly acquired the title of Grand Duke and used normal methods, I would have been in danger… ‘
Luckily.
As a result of talking with Yu Se-fin, she was able to exclude Yuri as a candidate for her fiancé.
‘No matter how much you know the story behind it. If you frame her as the person who killed her own family. ‘It was natural to be reluctant.’
Even if you paint the same subject, if the method is different, even the feeling conveyed will be different.
Because Nadia knew the matter well, she was able to obtain Eusephin’s permission relatively easily.
The time of engagement meant ‘soon’.
“Last time, I got Damien in a really bad way… But, I guess I can get Damian right this time… “
“Wh, what? Nadia you just-“
“… No, I’m just talking to myself. Damian than that. Let’s sit here. “The wind blows coolly.”
Fussuk-
Nadia pushed Damien’s shoulder and made him sit on a bench in the garden.
She then immediately sat down next to him and leaned in.
“It’s a nice mansion, Damian. “I feel like I know everything about how you lived.”
“Compared to Verdium Mansion, it’s a no-frills mansion. “I like it a lot better there.”
Damian seems to be reminiscing about that time.
I looked at the sky and seemed lost in thought.
“… “
I am right in front of you.
You think differently.
It didn’t look that good in Nadia’s eyes.
Nadia said, leaning her body further in Damien’s direction.
“Focus on me, Damian. “Don’t even think about anything else.”
“… Was I focusing on you from the beginning? When you brought up the story of Verdium Mansion-”
“That was focusing on my past self. Focus on who you are now. Look only at me, think only about me. Damian is mine. Is not it?”
I currently want to own everything about Damian.
I don’t want even a single moment to be taken away by something else.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen Nadia, and she shows a deep sense of possessiveness.
However, unlike before, Damian pushed Nadia away with his hand for a moment and spoke.
“No matter how much I think about it, I think it will be difficult.”
“Why? “I can think about Damien all day?”
“I am not you, Nadia. And then. When you locked me up “Don’t you remember what I said?”
I don’t belong to anyone else.
It can’t be someone else’s.
“But why do you keep trying to forcefully possess me? “Aren’t you supposed to think about what I say?”
Damian frowned.
He spoke in a dissatisfied tone and glared at Nadia.
It was to regain the lost initiative.
However, there was one thing that Damian was mistaken about.
“I never tried to possess Damien in a coercive way.”
“What kind of nonsense is that now-“
“That makes sense. If I tried to use really coercive methods. “Damian was in my art studio by now.”
Sweet-
Nadia leaned against Damian’s body.
She softly raised her head and chanted.
“Did you say Remy? Damian’s younger brother.”
“… “
“If I were sincere. The kid would already be in my hands. So Damian. “Don’t act like a fool.”
Just stay still.
You can just quietly get engaged to me.
“Don’t let me run out of patience with your weird words. Because I’m the one holding back now. Got it?”
These words were spoken coldly.
Nadia said that as if nothing had happened. She relaxed her expression and fell into Damien’s arms again.
“Because I’m done talking with your mother. Let’s take a carriage together tomorrow and go to Verdium Estate. To the place where Damian originally was. DAMIAN You don’t need to know where the engagement ceremony is held. Right?”
“… “
Damian could not give any answer to those words.
It was because only one word came to mind in her head.
‘You’re screwed.’
Heavy obsession.
A self-inflicted obsession.
Her results are flying wild before her eyes.
‘I’m really screwed…’ ‘
She couldn’t help but think like that.
