Side Story 1. Summer Vacation (4)

‘Is the bed broken?’

I didn’t fully understand Clayton’s words until about three seconds later.

Clink.

When I fully understood the meaning, I heard the glass breaking.

“Wha, what?”

Cassius, whose face turned red, asked Clayton with a look as if he was talking about something crazy.

The glass he had just held in his hand fell to the floor and shattered.

“You don’t have to tell me, but I know everything!”

I shouted out loud when I saw Clayton pouring out his words.

“Clayton, wait, I think you’re misunderstanding something, but…….”

“How can I not know that when I heard such a loud thump in the Duke and His Majesty’s bedroom?”

Clayton talking with excitement without even listening to me, made me lose my mind.

‘We shouldn’t have played like that yesterday…….’

The source of the trouble was that I couldn’t control my excitement at the thought of making fun of Cassius.

It was a little noisy, but I only ran and rolled a few times on the bed, but I didn’t know I would get misunderstood.

‘No, I didn’t mean to, but I’m sure I played soundly than anyone else?’.’

I rolled my eyes slightly and gave Cassius a ridiculous look.

He also seemed quite embarrassed by this situation.

I was staring at Clayton with my ears red and one hand covering my mouth.

“I thought the ceiling was too piercing when I heard it on the first floor. Does it make sense that the Duke would be okay if your majesty was that violent?”

My mind went white for a very short time.

‘We did play violently.’

I didn’t know the difference between ‘played violently’ and ‘played that violent’ would sound like this.

‘Where on earth did it start wrong?’

I wanted to say that’s not the case, but I wasn’t sure where to start to tell Clayton so he could trust us.

And I understood why Clayton thought that way, so I was really more confused.

If I hear a loud noise from a bedroom of a couple of years of dating where they sleep together, there will be more people coming to conclusion just like Clayton.

‘Most people wouldn’t think Cassius and I were just playing and jumping in bed like we really did.’

I murmured inside and turned my eyes toward Cassius.

He must have thought similar to me, but he kept his mouth shut up.

He wiggled his lips as if he couldn’t stand this situation.

‘Is this situation funny?’

I made a mouth shape toward him without making a sound.

‘No, just, I think he might have misunderstood us like that.’

‘You said yesterday that soundproofing was okay!’

‘Sorry, I haven’t been here for a long time. It must be different from then.’

Cassius replied with a smile, rolling up the corners of his mouth.

Even then, Clayton was infuriating toward Cassius.

“Your Majesty, I repeat, but please carry the Duke on your back when you go up.”

“No, Clayton. You haven’t heard me at all, have you? I’m really fine.”

“And keep the Duke’s legs away from the ground all day long!”

It was clear.

Clayton wasn’t listening to me at all.

And seeing his very determined expression, it seemed very difficult to persuade him.

In the end, I concluded that it would be better to just move on quietly.

“Okay, I’ll do that.”

Cassius put his hands together in front of his chin and nodded.

With a strange smile around his mouth, he made no rebuttal.

‘He’s given up.’

In front of Clayton, the two of us who alternately looked at each other throughout the breakfast, we had to hold back our laughter desperately.

***

After finishing the meal, I changed my clothes and was on my way down to the parlor room.

The warm sunshine shattered by the window wrapped the hallway.

Outside the white window frame, there were endless soft greenery views and on top of them were white clouds resembling cotton candy.

My heart melted away at the open scenery that would only appear in fairy tales.

‘There’s a reason for building a villa in the southern region.’

Unlike the Dukedom of Spade and the capital, which are distinct from the four seasons, the southern part of the country has been warm throughout the year.

Of course, the temperature dropped a little in winter, but it remained similar to spring in our territory.

“Well, I was thinking of taking a walk in the garden today, but I can’t.”

While looking out the window, Cassius crossed his arms and spoke in a very serious tone.

‘The weather is so nice.’

It was such a waste not to go outside in this weather.

In addition, yesterday was even more regrettable because it took too much time to come by a carriage that I couldn’t even look outside properly.

“No, why all of a sudden? You promised to take a walk in the garden this afternoon. The sky is so clear.”

When I answered back, Cassius looked very sorry.

“But Clayton said today that Yerine’s legs shouldn’t touch the ground.”

He showed an extremely pathetic face and a drowning voice as if he would shed tears at any moment.

Anyone would think Cassius was talking seriously if they saw him like that.

But I knew it was all acting.

“Then wouldn’t a walk be too much?”

Look at him.

He is smiling with his hands covering his mouth.

Now, Cassius did not give up his explanation and clarification to Clayton but seemed to enjoy the situation where he was misunderstood.

That’s why he wanted to tease me.

‘Phew, there’s no way I won’t accept it.’

Thinking so, I stretched my back and put his hands on my pelvis.

“Then you should carry me on your back.”

When I raised his chin and shouted loudly to Cassius, Cassius leaned his upper body a little and tilted his head.

“You don’t like me carrying you on my back.”

“Oh, are you making excuses?”

“Excuse me. I just told you the truth.”

“It only seems to me that you’re making excuses.”

He shook his head and gave strength to his voice as if he was frustrated.

“Who was the one who overworked my body last night in a very violent movement?”

With that word, Cassius’s pathetic face, which had been maintained through acting, collapsed in a heartbeat.

“Oh, wait, Yerine, that’s a little…….”

“To the extent of breaking the bed, to the point where the ceiling of the first floor feels like it’s going to break. Who did that?”

“Wait, don’t keep pushing me with the word ‘violent’! I feel like I’ve become a bad guy for no reason!”

Cassius stepped back with two hands and two feet, but it was not me to quit here.

I approached the man, who was slowly backing away and shouted in a confident voice.

“That’s weird, it was definitely Cassius who pushed me out of my mind last night.”

“Stop, please…….”

He looked at me with his eyes as if his soul were broken and begged me with his hands facing each other.

Only then did I step back and smile satisfactorily.

“What can we do? Now everyone thinks Cassius really did something wrong to me.”

“Yes, it is.”

“So shouldn’t you pretend to be carrying me around in front of others at least?”

“Okay, you’re asking me to carry you on my back in exchange for making you overwork last night?”

“Yes, if it’s the king of the country then it would be the best ride ever.”

“Okay, I can carry you on my back.”

“No, don’t carry me on your back but hold me up instead. I can’t see the flowers well if you carry me on your back.”

Cassius looked slightly surprised when I said so.

“You didn’t say that kind of embarrassing thing back in the day. You’ve changed, Yerine.”

“Who made me change?”

“Are you saying it’s because of me again?”

Cassius said, drooping his eyebrows as if it was unfair.

“No, so who else do I learn that from beside Cassius? There’s no one who says that to me other than Cassius.”

“Okay, okay. I got it.”

Cassius swept his hair and kicked his tongue.

“So, this is the power of love, right?”

“Look, you’re saying weird things again.”

“Don’t change the subject and answer yes or no.”

Cassius bent down, inflating his cheeks.

I naturally wrapped my arms around his neck as he lifted my body with one hand on my waist.

Previously, it wasn’t once or twice that I was embarrassed by him that he held me up all the time, but now it wasn’t.

“Then we’ll stay here until the afternoon and then go to the garden, right?”

Looking up, his golden eyes with the sun’s light sparkled.

“Are you serious?”

“Of course. We don’t know where someone will see us.”

“I don’t care if you carry me all day, can you hold on?”

At his words, I stopped a little bit.

“What?”

“You, you’re very embarrassed to be hugged by me in front of others.”

It was true.

Nevertheless, I pretended not to be and smiled peacefully.

“I’m fine today. I’m not ashamed at all.”

“Really?”

Cassius held his face close and asked persistently.

“I’m really going to stay like this until the afternoon.”

“Sure….”

“Even if you ask me to drop you off, I will never drop you off, and I will walk to the hallway where all the users are gathered.”

“Wait, that’s a bit…….”

I tried to break away from Cassius’ grip, but it didn’t work.

It was difficult to remove that stone-like arm without magic.

“Why? You said it’s okay today, Yerine.”

When I saw his face, I thought I had lost.

“If you don’t like it, I can’t help it. I have to use another method.”

Looking down at me, who was shy away from talking, Cassius opened his mouth.

“No, I don’t want to hear that.”

“Really? Then I should speak louder.”

Cassius, who lightly retorted my words, said with his playful gold eyes.

“If you don’t want to walk around in front of others like that, it’s hard to walk in the garden, isn’t it?”

“What the hell do you want to talk about?”

Cassius grinned at my question.

“It’s impossible to go out because Clayton said both the Duke’s legs shouldn’t touch the ground all day.”

“Then should I stay indoors all the time?”

Cassius nodded with a big smile as if he had the right answer.

“Yes, so let’s stay in bed all day.”

“Hey, that would be so boring, how can I do that?”

I could hear Cassius laughing above my head.

When I looked up at Cassius, he whispered in my ear, bending his golden eyes softly like a crescent moon.

“You don’t remember last night, do you?”

The moment I heard it, my body froze.

“I can make you feel intense all day long without being bored.”

Immediately, the whole face was engulfed in the hot heat, and I screamed, hitting Cassius’s chest with all my strength.

“Argh! Are you crazy, really?”

Cassius, however, remained undaunted and steadfast.

Rather, he smiled so relaxedly that I was even angrier.

“You’re into playing around, aren’t you? Crazy, seriously!”

“Well, if you don’t like it, I can’t help it. As Clayton said, I’ll walk around the villa like this all day.”

“Let go of me! Oh……really!”

After that, Cassius didn’t really let me go for about an hour.

Until I used water magic and splashed it on him.

***

“Thank you for coming. I’ll show you the way.”

A woman dressed in a neat green dress stood at the front door of the villa, which was secretly hidden in the forest.

“Thank you.”

The woman’s voice toward Chester was as warm as the sun.

Like the climate in the south.

“No, this is nothing.”

Chester replied, glancing at the red hair waving in the wind.

Then he opened the door and took the noblewoman into the villa, and once again bowed his head at her.

“Welcome, Duke Jacqueline.”

The sky blue eyes of the woman who stepped into the villa looking for her friend in the voice sparkled like a star.
