42 – 42. Owl House (3)

A princess with half-closed eyes.

Before I knew it, my hair was long and down to my chest.

Moreover, the sullen expression seen through the loose hair.

I hurriedly smiled to appease the princess.

“I’m sorry I’m late, but I’ve definitely found the culprit, so don’t worry.”

“Beomman… ?”

“Yes, I will go straight to arrest you tomorrow.”

I took off my uniform jacket.

And he was going to take the princess and head to the villa.

but… .

Irina gently pinched my collar again.

And she asked with a girlish pouty expression and blazing skin.

“You shouldn’t go yet. “You didn’t drink it all.”

She pointed to my barely-opened beer glass.

“I drank alone because of you, so take responsibility for it.”

Irina spoke, opening her eyes sharply like an empress.

At times like this, I feel more like royalty than anyone else.

“Okay, now that we’ve found the culprit, you’re relaxed, right? “It’s good to relieve your fatigue before going to catch it.”

Margot also grabbed my other sleeve.

The two women dragged me by both arms and headed to the table.

However, they stared at each other closely at the same time.

As if there was another ulterior motive.

The princess and the witch made me sit in the middle of the table.

After that, the two people stared at each other without paying any attention to me.

‘If you two are going to have a snowball fight, why would I… .’

“Drink in peace-.”

“Have a drink.”

The two gestured for me not to worry about them.

And while I was sipping my beer, we asked about each other.

“Miss, but did you drink it all by yourself? “That’s amazing-.”

“You really had a good bar at a young age.”

Even though I knew that he was the same age as Bale, I said this quietly.

Margot realized what he meant and laughed.

Rather, he provoked the princess by lightly shaking his pigtails.

“Is it because of my hair style? But what? “This is something Bale chose for me a while ago.”

The area under Irina’s eyes twitched when she heard that the hair was chosen by me.

Margot, who thought she had won, goes on to show off her wealth.

“And I have more ‘ability’ than I thought. “To the point where I don’t need great parents.”

Proud parents.

This is an attack on Irina, who looks cute at first glance.

However, the princess counterattacked with a relaxed smile, as if Mago’s attack was no different.

“Ah, I’m sorry, but I’m also a self-made person like you. “We can create a knighthood that is dozens of times bigger than a bar like this.”

Irina took a sip of her drink.

Then I emptied half of it and wiped my lips.

“On my own.”

order.

The witch was left speechless by the scale of the property, which was larger than expected.

“Well, there was also an order of knights… ? He was a higher body than I thought… .”

Margot glanced in my direction.

The look in his eyes asked if what Irina said was true.

At this, I nodded silently.

Well, it’s true that Irina made it herself.

At this, Margot cleared her throat.

Then, as if he suddenly had a good idea, he looked at me with a pitiful expression and muttered.

“Wow, then the veil must be really uncomfortable.”

Irina’s eyebrows twitch at those words.

Because it means that your strengths are your weaknesses.

“Is that so? “If you have the Knights Templar, you are almost a major supplier, but it is difficult for commoners like us to become friends.”

Margot placed her hand gently on my shoulder, emphasizing us.

“Isn’t that right, Veil?”

“Well, it’s not wrong.”

I nodded silently at her words.

In the end, the princess and the witch were unable to compete and ended up only exchanging blows with each other.

“… .”

A drinking party that gradually becomes overheated.

To mediate the situation, I took a swig of the beer I hated.

“I’ve finished drinking too, so please stand up now.”

However, the two people didn’t care.

They raised their hands at the same time and each ordered another beer.

“We haven’t finished drinking yet!”

A glass full again.

They looked at each other straightly and sipped their beers.

“It seems like you’re really interested in me. “You’re staring at me the whole time I’m drinking.”

Irina looked at Margo with the cool-headed eyes of a queen.

Margot responded with eerie witch eyes.

“I have to make sure I’m qualified to take my friend.”

“I need to make sure my employer isn’t hanging out with bad people.”

Breathtaking atmosphere.

So, I ended up taking away all the beer glasses in front of the two of them.

“Ahh… !”

“What are you doing, Veil?!”

Girls who are embarrassed.

I ignored what they said… .

I poured all the remaining beer into my glass.

And as if to show off, I drank it down in one go.

They were staring at my trembling uvula.

Immediately, I slammed the empty glass down on the table and said.

“If that’s the reason, you two should stop now.”

He lifted the empty glass upside down and shook it as if showing off.

Not a single drop of alcohol fell from the perfectly emptied glass.

“They are people so precious to me that there is no need to check with each other.”

I cleared my voice and leaned back against the chair.

And then I glanced at the two women.

“… .”

Fortunately, thanks to my intervention, the witch and princess kept their mouths shut.

It soon became quiet, perhaps because the beer had disappeared.

I stood up thanks to the silence.

“then. What, will it happen?”

“Uh, yeah… .”

Irina’s voice soon returned to normal.

Margo then nodded as if she had come to her senses.

“Well, it’s already 12 o’clock. I have to close the store too… .”

For some reason, she obediently closes the store.

We naturally came out of the store in the mood of disbanding.

“Bale, haven’t you gone to bed yet?”

Margot sneaked up on me before leaving.

And he tried to give me a key.

“There is an inn nearby that is in my name. I’ll give you a key, so just use it whenever you need it.”

Unlimited use of inns.

Her eyes, which were intoxicated by her unconventional gift, sparkled.

“Did you buy an inn too?”

“Oh, well, it’s basic.”

‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have come to visit often in my past life.’

Margot turned her face away as if she were embarrassed by my envious reaction.

“Whenever you come to Cornell, feel free to come by.”

Then he looked at Irina and smiled.

“Who will take care of you if not me?”

The princess must have been shocked by that sight, so she took down the robe she had used to come out.

And then he approached Margo with his hair in a state of messy hair.

“Thank you for your concern… .”

Irina’s slender fingers grabbed the key that Margot had handed over.

Then she kindly returned the key to the witch.

“From now on, we’re going to go to a villa that’s much nicer than the inn, right?”

Margo, who received the keys back, looked uncomfortable.

Then I patted her on the shoulder and promised the next time.

“Yes, you can use the inn next time you come alone.”

He said he would visit Cornell again someday.

Moreover, Margot was satisfied when she said that she would use the inn alone.

“Then you’ll definitely come next time, right?”

She quickly accepted the promise and smiled at Irina.

“huh. So you go in too. “It’s late at night.”

The petite witch waved her hand widely and greeted me.

I walked away, waving lightly to a friend I hadn’t seen in a while.

“… .”

However, the princess was different.

She crossed her arms alone, as if disapproving.

And I glanced back the entire way.

The same goes for Margot, she did not leave and continued to make eye contact with the princess.

Then, he quietly picked up his pigtails and sent a silent signal.

‘You still have a long way to go-.’

From noble mtl dot com

The princess noticed the signal and gave a cold look.

And he secretly played with his long flowing hair.

“Her Royal Highness, you are walking too fast.”

Irina, who was alone with her arms crossed, tried to walk as straight as possible.

However, is it because I drank too much?

The princess’s steps began to move in zigzags instead of straight lines.

It soon moves to one side and hits the wall with a thud.

I thought that was funny, so I suppressed my laughter.

And before the princess rolled down the street, she walked up to her side.

However, she speeds up as if she is trying to push me away.

In the end, I ended up hitting my forehead on a streetlight while turning a corner.

“Hi… .”

Irina hiccups because she is surprised.

I approached her and helped her.

“Then why did you suddenly drink alcohol?”

When I asked pitifully, Irina stuck out her lips.

And he muttered with his nose turning red.

“just… You looked very comfortable with that child just now… .”

The princess slapped my hand away.

And he spoke while holding on to a street lamp.

“I wanted to become close to you like that child.”

Could it be that I was jealous of me and Margot talking to each other at the inn?

“… .”

Well, the most important thing for a business partner is trust.

Considering this, the princess may have wanted to become closer to me.

“Bale, I’m stupid… ? “I can worry about that alone.”

Irina leaned her head against the streetlamp, as if she was exhausted from being drunk.

And he looked at me with half-closed eyes.

“Please forget about today.”

The princess immediately lowered her head.

And then he stumbled and tried to walk alone again.

“Starting tomorrow, I won’t burden you again.”

However, I stopped her like that.

I decided to take her to the villa myself before she got hurt further.

“It is very disloyal of me to make Her Highness worry like that.”

Maybe Irina took on a big challenge to build trust with me.

And I also decided to help her.

Just as I respond to her courage, I also need to show positivity.

“Let’s get on top.”

“radish… what?”

The princess’s blurry eyes sparkled at one firm word.

“Right now, I can’t go to the villa in this condition. “Just tell me the way and I will take you there in no time.”

The princess’s reaction, which had been grumbling until now, changed.

She fidgeted with both hands and hesitated.

“Oh, no… Anyway, it’s a bit weird for me, a member of the royal family, to be carried on the back… .”

“If it’s because of the weight, that’s okay. “It was more enjoyable than I thought.”

“How do you know my weight!”

The princess was disgusted by my blunt words.

Then, I tilted my head and asked, “Why are you getting upset over something like this?”

“I got the feeling when I helped you up earlier.”

“… .”

The princess covered her lips with the back of her hand.

And I looked silently at the distant horizon.

“There are no carriages to go around at this time anyway.”

Irina sighed at my words.

And then I slowly looked around… .

“It’s a secret from Dasha… ?”

He put on his robe and looked up at me.

I thought I must have lost my drunkenness while walking around.

Breathing in the cool night air would have cleared your head.

But for some reason, Irina’s face felt redder.

“I’ll keep it until the grave, so don’t worry.”

I bent my knees.

Soon, I felt the touch of Irina gently hugging my back.

“Go straight from here… If you turn right, you will see a cathedral. at there… .”

While I was on her back, the princess gave me directions without stopping.

However, I couldn’t help but feel it right away.

That she did it because she didn’t want to be found out that she was nervous.

“I memorized everything you told me.”

“Yeah, really?”

“Okay, so just relax while we get there.”

Irina cleared her voice.

And I didn’t know what to do as it was my first time being hugged by someone.

It’s as if I never dreamed that I had been pigeonholed a lot in my past life.

However, is it because of the rush of intoxication?

Soon her eyes began to gradually close due to the overwhelming fatigue.

Eventually, he put on his robe and slowly laid his cheek on my shoulder.

As if I remembered the feeling of being carried.
