Cassion stared alternately at Roselyn and the hand was rejected by her .?

?

Roselyn took another step back and shook her head.?

?

It was an obvious indication to stay away.?

?

Asrell decided that she should step up. So, as she took a step closer towards Cassion, surprising words came out.?

?

“I’m sorry…………. I didn’t mean to offend you.”?

?

Cassion suddenly blushed and apologized.?

?

“I’m not going to do anything to you. I just came here because I was really curious.”?

?

Cassion was serious.?

?

From the bottom of his heart, he truly felt the greatest curiosity of his life and came to visit her.?

?

First of all, he was surprised that it was a woman that his brother had hidden, but he was also surprised once again that the woman had a beauty that was apparently not of this world.?

?

As he swam through the ocean, he saw the silvery hair reflecting the bright Amor sunshine, and for the first time he felt his soul being sucked in.?

?

He was curious what in the world so amazing could make his brother go this far.?

?

And the moment he saw the reason, Cassion could understand his brother.?

?

His brother didn’t want to show it to anyone, and didn’t want to share it with anyone.?

?

He couldn’t believe it was a woman, a mere woman!?

?

….was too beautiful a woman to be angry with.?

?

Afterwards, the knights took him back to the west annex, but he couldn’t think about anything else for the rest of the day.?

?

His head, eyes and ears were all open, facing east. ?

?

At the end of the day, there were some misconceptions that he might have had a hallucination.?

?

He wanted to see those cold purple eyes again. He wondered what color the voice that came out between those red lips would be.?

?

He wanted to know, he felt like he was going crazy.?

?

When you live a life where you don’t know when you will die, the present is sometimes the most important value.?

?

That was why he dared to go swimming at night, even though he knew it was crazy.?

?

Of course, he wasn’t a stone head, so he didn’t swim the black sea alone from the beginning.?

?

Cassion brought his second-in-command, Owen.?

?

When he said he would go alone, Owen had no choice but to follow him.?

?

The next day, however, Owen grabbed Cassion’s pants and held him back.?

?

“I don’t care if you’re my Master, please, just stay still! You can’t do this, Master Cassion!”?

?

He made so much noise that Cassion has to pretend to be asleep on the second day.?

?

Then, after he fell asleep and it was a deeper dawn, he swam the ocean. The result was the same as the first day….?

?

After three days of doing that, he was finally able to see her face.?

?

And Cassion did not regret that crazy thing he did.?

?

Even the expressionless face of the woman who was staring at him made his heart flutter terribly.?

?

“What is your name? Please.”?

?

He sighed tiredly, and whatever Roselyn said, he couldn’t make out a single thing.?

?

Roselyn’s finger pointed to the window again. Her expression stiffened, and Cassion’s lips twitched in piqued surprise.?

?

“I’ll go if you promise to go outside in the daylight tomorrow! No, have lunch with me.”?

?

Roselyn frowned. Cassion, who thought she didn’t understand, pulled out all Hirusha words he knew and said,?

?

[Tomorrow. Lunch, together]?

?

He gestured with his hands and feet, but he couldn’t be sure Roselyn understood. He couldn’t read the expression on the woman’s face as she stared at him with a stiff face like a doll.?

?

She might not understand….?

?

But it didn’t matter. Because Cassion will definitely have lunch with the woman tomorrow.?

?

[I don’t want to.]?

?

“It seems like you said no………? No, Let’s eat together. What’s your favorite food? I’ll bring you everything. Oh, I have some wine I bought from Norssen the other day, would you like to drink it with me?” ?

?

[I won’t drink.]?

?

“What? You don’t mind? I recommend it. Then I’ll have to look for the finest Einschultz cheese.”?

?

[…]?

?

It was arbitrary. Roselyn put her hand on her forehead and sighed.?

?

She then slowly tapped her forehead with her fingers. It meant that she didn’t feel good.?

?

Without realizing it, Cassion stole a look at Roselyn’s slender fingers.?

?

There were many scars on her fingers, as if she had been treated badly. But they didn’t look rough because of her white skin. It was an interesting hand.?

?

[……okay]?

?

“Yes?”?

?

Cassion, who was distracted by her fingers, suddenly raised his head.?

?

[Tomorrow, lunch, together] ?

?

Roselyn mimicked Cassion’s words verbatim. Cassion’s expression brightened.?

?

“You mean we’ll eat together, right?”?

?

Roselyn gave a light nod and raised a finger, pointing to the very window where Cassion had come in.?

?

“Alright, I’ll leave. But we still have to have lunch together tomorrow.”?

?

Whatever Cassion said, Roselyn opened the balcony window wide with her own hands.?

?

Excitedly, Cassion waved his hand with a yahoo and jumped down the water pipe.?

?

Roselyn stared coldly at Cassion’s black hair as it melted in the darkness then turned around.?

?

The next day, Roselyn went outside to have lunch with him as promised.?

?

“Hello, Master Cashion!”?

?

“Hello, this is Tasha.”?

?

“Welcome, Master Cassion!”?

?

***?

?

Cassion glared at the dozen or so people around his table and Roselyn’s with an absurd expression.?

?

They stared at him without blinking, as if they were watching with both eyes wide open to see what he would do…?

?

“Ha…”?

?

He had to admit he felt intrigued.?

?

He was going to have lunch with a guest at his house, and everyone was looking at him.?

?

Of course, it was probably because the guest was the mistress his brother had been hiding.?

?

Anyway, in Cassion’s head, the situation did make any sense and it was irritating.?

?

“….it’s so uncomfortable. How can I eat like this?”?

?

He mumbled irritably, and Louie, who had been standing by, added without missing a beat.?

?

“Oh, If you’re finished eating. Shall we clean up?”?

?

He could sense that they wanted him to leave immediately.?

?

Even more annoyed, Cassion cut the meat into pieces and chewed it very slowly.?

?

“Why are you all so fussy? We’re sharing a meal together.”?

?

“It’s bound to be a fuss. Who would break into your brother’s lady’s room at dawn? It’s not a big deal, but it’s a very barbaric and lascivious act.”?

?

Satin’s voice was even colder than usual.?

?

Cassion stared at Roselyn with a frown.?

?

He thought they would hide her from him since they didn’t seem to say anything for the past two days.?

?

“This should never happen again. I’ve decided to triple our defenses starting today.”?

?

“It’s appalling. You’re putting more than fifty people to protect a single slave because of me?”?

?

“Thanks to Master Cassion, we’ve identified a hole in our security so we need to reinforce it.”?

?

“Satin, is my brother here now?”?

?

Cassion asked angrily. Satin answered bluntly.?

?

“No, he is not here.”?

?

“Forgive me, but who is the master you must serve when my brother is not here?”?

?

Satin answered without hesitation.?

?

“Even if he is not here, there is only one whom I serve. I will carry out the orders he has left me with the highest priority.”?

?

“…….loyal.”?

?

Cassion was even more annoyed.?

?

It was always like this.?

?

Tamon has it all. A healthy body, the fame of a hero, the king’s favor. And even the Krasis family and their loyal subjects.?

?

Perhaps everything Cassion could have, Tamon had.?

?

Even Cassion knew it was because of Tamon’s superior abilities.?

?

Even if they were in the same place, Cassion wouldn’t have been able to have everything as much as Tamon did.?

?

But knowing and accepting were two different things.?

?

Unfortunately, unlike his calm and intelligent brother, he was a man with a much bigger heart.?

?

Having crossed the threshold of death many times, he began to grow somewhat sensitive, giving meaning to the present, to what he had, and to everything he felt.?

?

This was why, as in the past few days, he went blind and hid in his brother’s mistress’s bedroom. ?

?

Cassion stared at the woman in front of him who cut the meat and put it in her mouth. ?

?

Looking back, he had never seen anyone so beautiful in his life.?

?

Her silvery hair was even more dazzling in the sunlight, and her purple eyes, which he couldn’t see clearly, shone like jewels.?

?

His brother’s woman.?

?

Because of this Hirushan that his brother, who has never had a scandal in his life, has closed down the annex and put his personal soldiers on guard.?

?

Cassion laughed bitterly.?

?

He tapped Roselyn’s plate with the fork he was holding to get her attention.?

?

“I brought an interpreter today.”?

?

As soon as he woke up in the morning, he looked around for someone who could speak Hirusha and brought him here.?

?

At Cassion’s gesture, Owen dragged the person waiting behind him to the front.?

?

Roselyn glanced at the one who was called interpreter, then looked at Satin again.?

?

Sighing, Satin warned Cassion meekly.?

?

“You are not allowed to bring outsiders.”?

?

“Oh, I see. I’m sorry. I didn’t know that. I’ll be more careful next time.”?

?

Cashion skipped roughly and called the interpreter to his side.?

?

“Tell her my name is Cassion Krasis. And ask what her name is.”?

?

The interpreter, who hesitated, told Roselyn what Cassion said. Roselyn grinned and put her fork down. ?

?

[Tell him I don’t want to tell him.]
