Became the Hated Illegitimate Son of the Duke in Romance Fantasy

43 – Episode 43

Whether it’s anger, sadness, or love, a little shyness or silence that comes after an emotional outburst causes awkwardness. It is bound to come

I hugged Misty, who seemed to be struggling to breathe from crying, and when the crying stopped, I tried to fall into the discomfort of the slight dampness.

Then Misty grabbed me and wouldn’t let go.

He held onto her shoulder blades tightly and buried her face as it was.

“Eric.”

It was the second time he called me that I realized he was calling me because he said it with his face buried.

“Why?”

“I want to use short words.”

“As much as you like. I wrote it before.”

“That was a mistake. It’s just that when I talk for a while and my emotions run high, there are many times when I can’t control myself.”

“Did you do something like that?”

“It’s not like that, it’s like that, no, it’s like that.”

How long should I stay like this?

Misty has a short conversation, then she shuts her mouth again, hiding only her face.

It’s difficult, a little too much.

It feels a bit like a whining child clinging to you.

Misty managed to get away from me when she was confused by her slightly rising scent and her uncomfortable posture.

Looking at her face, her eyes are swollen and her nose is slightly red, looking like someone who has had a drink.

“Eric, what should I do for you, no, what should I do for you?

Can’t you just resent me? Saying that I almost died because of you.

He usually slows down a lot, doesn’t greet well, smokes cigarettes and boasts that he has a dirty temper, but why is he only nice to me at times like this?”

“Yeah, why is that?”

In short, in front of Misty, she always showed a petty side.

She was a small person, full of temper, no ability, no background.

Why did you keep coming to me?

When I brought up the story of the beginning of the year, I instantly wanted to smoke a lot.

Maybe it’s because he’s relaxed.

It seems that someone I know in front of me clings to me and cries, making me more nervous than I thought.

I took a cigarette out of my pocket, put it in her mouth, and asked Misty for permission before lighting it.

“Can I smoke it?”

“Do it yourself, no, do it yourself.”

Misty said curtly.

Since he told me to take care of it, he must be saying that it’s okay to smoke.

I don’t think I like it that much.

After lighting the fire and inhaling the smoke, it feels like my body is finally relaxing a little.

I drank a cup of tea, cleared my mouth, and enjoyed the scent of the smoke rather than the scent of the tea.

“You seem familiar with honorifics, but why do you suddenly want to use nonsense?”

“Yeah, because you use informal language with me too, no.”

“… Okay.”

I don’t know what you want to do, but if you want to do it, you should let it go.

Anyway, that’s probably not the reason the two of us came to this room.

I don’t know if Misty knows that or if it’s because of the acting, but she fell off me and put on a serious face and started talking her out.

“Eric, thank you for saving me, no, for saving me.

Thank you for protecting me, honestly, I didn’t expect you to throw yourself at me to save me.”

I felt that Misty, who had been crying and blowing until just now, had gone somewhere and had returned with her shining eyes.

So I started laughing like Belita.

To be precise, it would be more accurate to say that he smiled.

“The things I can do for Eric are not as many as William, no, His Highness the Crown Prince.

I can’t give you a title, give you countless goods, or provide you with a mansion in the capital.

But as for Misty Roseberry, I’ll put my name on it and I’ll do anything Eric does or asks for anything.

… Even if you don’t have to, I’m always here to help. Yes, it is a life saver.”

Misty’s eyes flashed as she looked at me.

Goosebumps ran down her arms and she began to feel chills, but she dismissed it as her mood.

Rosberry, I always think of it every time I hear it, but the family name is pretty cute.

Maybe the main character, Misty, was named Roseberry to make it more lively.

If you look for the original meaning of Breslau, Bratislava, it meant return to glory.

With the exception of Misty, the family names of the characters appearing were all authoritative.

“It’s more burdensome than I thought.”

“What can I do, if a person is helped, of course I have to pay it back!

Ah, come to think of it, when are you going to meet Xenia?”

Have you given up on using short language?

The way he spoke began to return to normal.

It seems that Misty, who is actually talking, is not even aware of it.

When I meet Xenia, I worry about what to talk about first.

I’m sorry for worrying you, should I say the same thing?

Or at least it didn’t harm the family. Xenia doesn’t care about this.

If it’s worth worrying about, will the duke adopt me?

At least, the status, and the location, were officially the same.

In other words, if Xenia dies or gives up her inheritance, which could threaten Xenia’s position, ah.

You have to think only this far.

A delusion is deep and dark, but there are many times when it actually happens, so it can cause things that won’t happen.

“Yeah, thanks to someone who cried while clinging to me today, I’m tired and should be sleeping.”

“Since it’s embarrassing, could you please stop talking about it..?”

“What can I do, you didn’t release me from my arms and buried your face so hard.”

“When you say that, I look like a pervert!”

From noble mtl dot com

Rather than perverted, it felt a bit immature.

Something like a half-punch who always walks brightly but can’t express his feelings properly.

No matter what I ask you to do..

I thought it might be possible with Misty.

She was a person who could do anything, and if she said she would, she could achieve anything.

Her Even if she fails her once in a while, her world helps her achieve what she sets out to do.

It didn’t happen that Xenia liked the crown prince, and she didn’t get along with each other.

No, Xenia didn’t grow up to be a villainess in the first place, but in my head, I thought that everyone including Xenia and I might die because of Misty.

It is a story that is a bit unrealistic.

Isn’t this a story that could happen anyway?

“You said you’d give me anything I wanted.”

“…Can you at least ask me what I can do for you?”

“I don’t know, I didn’t expect anything from you.”

“Then let me give you one of the things I have.

I’ll take Eric’s at the same time, though.”

Saying that, Misty suddenly tries to kiss me with her kiss.

Since it wasn’t a situation where they didn’t mind sticking together like they did when they were together with Belita, she covered Misty’s face with her hand.

Then she presses her face back and forth to me and puts out her lips.

“Isn’t it usually accepted at times like this, there is no romance.”

“No, it’s rather full of romance. How can I kiss you without Belita?”

“…… Uh, are you a lover with that priest..?”

For a moment, Misty’s expression darkened in an easy to understand way.

He didn’t seem to like me very much, so why is this?

In the first place, wasn’t Misty and the crown prince mutually fond of each other?

You never know.

Maybe something went wrong because I took the bullet instead.

I wonder if Misty has lost a lot.

You must have gained a lot from this incident.

Thanks to talking to the cigarette smoker on the way, you didn’t gain anything by doing your own hardships.

I don’t know what to answer if you ask me if I’m in a relationship with Belita.

Even if you ask her if she loves you, she can’t give you a clear answer.

Misty made a loud noise with a slight tear on her face.

“She’s not yet a lover, is she?”

In the beginning, there was not much contact with Misty.

She didn’t talk too much and all she did was say hi once or twice as she passed by and make jokes.

Even that, after we talked, I was overcome with an inferiority complex and felt depressed.

What Misty feels like about me now is the swinging bridge effect.

She can’t be real love.

I’m not the person your emotions should be directed at.

“You have no reason to like me.”

“But, but you saved me.

Not like a prince on a white horse, but like a high-ranking knight.”

We didn’t get close to each other step by step, and we weren’t close enough to talk about lovers.

A knight, such a lofty man. No Are you below me now?

That doesn’t change anything.

“I told you, it’s a coincidence. You don’t have to worry about it.

It’s just an accident. I was just unlucky to stand at gunpoint, and you were just unlucky to meet the assassin.”

At those words, I thought Misty would hesitate and fall, but her response was unexpected.

It approaches me with a slightly menacing feeling.

Then he pushed her face almost within breath.

I wondered if she was ignoring what I just said and trying to force her to kiss me, but Misty just kept talking to her.

“Just because Eric thinks so doesn’t change anything.

The fact that I fell in love with you is the most important thing.

Somehow, I will make you like me.”

The aroma of the black tea I was drinking just now rose.

Misty smiles broadly as she says.

Feeling a slight jolt, she moved away from me and opened the door with a grin.

“It’s a bit late. Goodbye. And see you next time.”

I must have had a bewildered expression on my face.

I just walked out of the room without answering.
