The Grand Duchess of the North Is Obsessed With Me

43 – Chewing the cud (3)

An ominous prediction is never wrong.

In a way, this is common to all countries.

Of course, I wasn’t really imprisoned with both hands and feet tied in the basement of the grand duke’s mansion, but at this level it was no different from confinement.

Kwok.

I was in a state of confusion thanks to Illencia walking beside me while holding my arms.

My head was dizzy at the soft touch of my arm gently pressed and the scent of roses that permeated the tip of my nose.

Even so, the reason why I can’t be genuinely happy may have been because I seemed to have glimpsed my future.

“This is inside our mansion, so it’s okay to get away from it a bit?”

No matter how much this is inside the baron’s mansion, and even the servants have come to the point where they can’t say that now, there’s nothing particularly wrong with it, but something morally pricked my conscience.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, but it’s hard to stay sane thanks to Illencia.

“No. You don’t know where to run.”

Looking down at the top of Ilensia’s head as she talked sullenly, I let out a small sigh at her.

This is obviously done on purpose.

There’s no way he wouldn’t know that he was talking like that to hide his desire, but I pretended not to know and moved on.

“Escape… Even if I go, where will I go?”

A smile did not leave Illencia’s lips, as if she was satisfied with my appearance of moving quietly while grumbling with my mouth.

“You already have a record of running away once.”

Her steps were light, as if she were humming her song, but I only smiled awkwardly at Ilensia’s glare at me.

I have nothing to say.

Ilensia and I got out of the mansion and headed to the garden. Of course, I had no intention of going out like a child.

Illencia also seemed to be aware of her situation, and I also knew how much of a threat Illencia was exposed to.

Thanks to that, we settled down in the garden, which became our main hideout, and one of the quick-witted servants prepared tea and snacks.

“Thank you.”

“No, son.”

Nodding off.

I lowered my head, looked away from the servant who was leaving, and slowly drank a cup of tea.

Is it black tea?

Having this kind of leisurely time to spend with Elencia made me finally feel like I was back home.

At that thought, I unknowingly burst into laughter.

“Huh? Why?”

“Nothing.”

Shaking her hand and answering Ilencia, who asked her while tilting her head, I stared blankly at her.

Perhaps I’ve been dyed before I knew it.

Having Illencia by my side—— No, I didn’t know that I was too used to being next to Illencia.

‘Not a very good situation….’

Even I, who had originally had the way of living in the previous world embedded in my brain, felt after living in this world for ten years or so that the difference in social status meant that the walls were incredibly high.

It was said that even if they were of the same noble family, there was a very distant gap between the baron and the grand duke.

So getting used to this situation wasn’t all that good.

‘Because we’ll definitely have to leave someday.’

Of course, even I don’t want to do that, so I’m working hard.

Judging from this state, it seems like it’s gone bad.

Looking at the long, glossy black hair and beautiful ruby eyes, I let out a small breath.

Beauty that still shines.

“Why do you look like that?”

“…… I thought about something else for a second.”

“Huh~.”

I looked at Illencia’s face as if possessed, but I averted my gaze at her mischievous words.

Seeing me like that, Illensia smiled with her strange snort and put her chin on her chin.

It’s embarrassing to say that you’ve been mesmerized by how pretty you are.

Moreover, if she spoke frankly, the shackles that had barely bound Illencia might be loosened.

Then I really don’t know what will happen.

Speaking to the extreme, I woke up after a good night’s sleep and I might see her naked Ellensia forcibly raping me.

I fall asleep without knowing when I fell asleep and when I wake up, I wake up on a bed in my familiar room.

But I can’t move with her hands and feet tied, and what I see in front of her is the beautiful white Illensia naked body….

‘What kind of delusion is this?’

It seemed like I had gone crazy.

No, no matter how crazy he was, even I was dumbfounded at how he was breathing such a delusion.

Couldn’t this be all Elencia’s fault?

Every time Illencia launched her own physical attack with all her heart, she couldn’t stand it no matter how much I was.

Is it slowly crumbling like this?

As I looked at Illencia with her eyes in her peril, she stared at me with an expression that didn’t understand what she was talking about.

“Today is a bit strange, Cain.”

“I guess it’s because I’m tired.”

Shaking her misty hair, she smiled awkwardly.

It was Elencia who was still looking at me with puzzled eyes.

…… Something is weird

It has been several days since I returned to the baron family.

I looked around with a strange feeling. I scratched the back of my head as I felt the eyes on me disappear in an instant when I turned my head.

For some reason, everyone is looking at me with worried eyes.

I couldn’t help but lick my appetite at the eyes as if they were looking at a child left at the water’s edge.

Something like this is unfamiliar.

It’s all the more so because I haven’t had a chance to receive such attention since I was reincarnated in this world.

Since I was sent to the tracking team, I’ve been feeling these eyes one by one, but I couldn’t figure out why, so it was frustrating.

“What the hell is that?”

“Huh? What?”

Illencia asked, rubbing her sleepy eyes at my questionable murmur but not thinking of leaving me.

I shook my head as I stroked Ilensia’s hair.

Illencia was also a factor in my doubts.

Usually, Illencia comes and goes in and out of our mansion, but she always returned to the Grand Duchess when the time came.

Since that day, he has not returned to the grand duke’s family and has been living in a baron’s family.

Of course, Illencia always wanted to be with a male artist, so it wasn’t that strange, but since Anna and her wife, who should stop Illencia, were living together in a male artist, I couldn’t help but think it was strange.

What is it?

If something big happened during the mission of the tracking team, it would be so, but I was embarrassed to receive such stares as I, who had not done anything and returned safely.

Did something big happen?

…… I do not know.

“Are you okay? Are you sick?”

Feeling like her head was getting cloudy, I stopped for a moment and shook my head as I heard Ilensia’s worried voice.

“No, it’s okay.”

I couldn’t help but smile because I thought that if I showed even a little sickness or weakness here, those gazes would become more intense.

After that day, when I tried to recall the memory of that day, my head started to ache from time to time.

Every time, for some reason, I used to turn my thoughts to other places because I felt uneasy, but the idea that it was strange became stronger as the situation around me intertwined.

“If you feel sick, go in and rest.”

Illensia always cares about me and tries to take care of me, but it must be something strange that others do that for no reason.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

After stroking Illencia’s soft hair and resting her for a while, she began to purr as if in a good mood.

A hearty smile came out of me because it was so cute that it looked like a cat’s gorilla when it’s in a good mood.

It felt good to feel all the thoughts in Illencia’s cuteness disappear.

I don’t know Illencia, but contrary to her intention of always worrying about me and wanting to take care of me, these cute looks were actually a bigger help to me.

Yes, let’s not think of things that only make our heads hurt.

With that thought in mind, I moved on with Elencia again.

I don’t know why, but when I was with Illencia, I tended to walk like this, avoiding rooms or spaces where the two of us were alone.

I think it’s probably because I instinctively think that my chastity will be threatened.

“What is this morning?”

“I hope it tastes good.”

It wasn’t that the baron’s meal was not that tasteless, but it was true that the quality was inferior to that of the grand duke’s.

Well, I’m an omnivore, so it didn’t matter, but it might not suit Illensia a little.

But then I should go home and eat.

Thinking that good is good, I shrugged and looked out the window inadvertently.

Outside the window, there was an arena where knights and soldiers were training, and it seemed that morning training was in full swing today as well.

These days, they haven’t been training in conspicuous places, so it seems like they’re trying to train at the gymnasium for some reason.

Thinking so, I looked at the soldiers, and the moment the knights drew their long, straight swords, I could only grab my head while staggering as if my legs were losing strength.

As if something hit my head hard, my head was pounding and the world was spinning, so I covered my mouth with my hand.

“Cain! Cain! Are you okay?!”

In my head, deep there.

Something started coming to mind.
