173 – Lawsuit (8)

“…What are you doing?”

“Ah. Lee, did you come to Lirililia?”

“Yes, Ririririlia is here.”

“No, don’t make fun of me~!”

“Whoops.”

Lillia called and woke up Innis, who was on her knees and absentmindedly touched her hand. Innis, who shook his shoulders, looked like someone who had seen a ghost.

Lilia smiled mischievously and set the wads of paper she was holding onto her desk. The stand that was already on top of it was shaken for a moment by the heavy weight.

“Whoa~ It was hard!”

“…Did you really steal it?”

“Sure!”

Lillia proudly swung her wand. Her makeshift wand was full of soot and looked more like a ball of ash than a branch. It means that she used magic roughly without adding or subtracting the slightest bit.

And the result is this. It was a bundle of papers that she had been carrying.

“Is Eba gone? What’s Innis doing here?”

“As expected, oh, wasn’t it supposed to come…?”

“Pugh, what are you talking about. Eva let me in anyway. I don’t care.”

It’s not even her own real room, it’s just a place to stay. There was no need to hide anything from her, so Lilia accepted Innis quite openly. After that, there was also trust in Iba. She concluded that since he had allowed it, she had also allowed it herself.

“I see…”

“Do you want to see Innis too? There are many things to see.”

Lillia unfolded her stolen documents as if they were showing off treasures.

“Now, this is… A recipe… This is… Cultural history? Interesting, but now is not the time to look at it. Pass.”

“Did you pick up anything?”

“Hmm? By the way? I hurriedly caught everything that looked atmospheric with stealth and telekinesis.”

Lillia shifted her posture and began to complain. She seemed to have a lot of regrets.

“No! Why stop me from looking around my villa!”

With her fists clenched, Lilia let out her wrath as she struggled.

“It’s so fast that the dog … Ah!

After making a fuss like that, her wife’s stamina seemed to be exhausted and she fell face down on her desk.

“Anyway…You’re curious too, right? Take a few and read them… Whoa… Tired…”

She seemed to have suffered quite a bit in her fight at the library. Innis smiled bitterly and patted Lillia’s shoulder.

“…That’s right Lilia.”

“Huh?”

She had little interest in the messy pile of papers. Instead, the person who brought this stack of papers was interested.

“I have a question.”

Innis’ eyes were very serious. Lillia was taken aback by her out of the blue, and raised her body spread across her desk.

“…What is it?”

“Lilia, if the moment comes when Eva gets married… What will she do?”

Her expression was unexpected, but her question was more than that.

Since Innis had already married Eva and had her grandchildren unfolded in her head, it was a very reasonable question from her point of view.

But she was not to Lilia. The question was so sudden and out of context that it caused her to hiccup for a while.

“Heeuk. Why is that all of a sudden?”

“…”

Innis’ cheeks turned red again. Looking at her expression like that, a worry came to Lillia’s heart. Lillia’s expression hardened as she put her back and forth in an instant.

Reading Innis’ mind now would have been easy for a child who might not yet know her love.

“…Are you serious?”

At Lillia’s question, she nodded with a serious face.

I was overcome with the feeling of wanting to let out a sigh right now. In the end, Lilia uttered a word that resembled her sigh.

“No.”

It was a firm refusal. Brilliant butterfly-like eyes bent sharply as if they were about to scatter her poison.

“No… What?”

“What is the answer?”

Lilia smiled.

“No. Whoever wants it? Marriage, no.”

It was close to ridicule. It was the kind of laugh her queen would have when her authority was invaded. She maintained a smile like a well-forged knife and expressed her intention of refusal clearly.

“Innis, even you can’t give me this bar.”

“Giving it. Lilia, don’t you think that’s strange?”

On the contrary, the corners of Innis’ mouth stiffened coldly and flat.

“Iva is your paper slave. He doesn’t really belong to you. He has his freedom.”

“Then why did you ask me?”

Lilia immediately refuted.

“You know. Who is closest to Iva right now, who can break into his will. Who has the upper hand…”

There was a sound of a chair being dragged. It meant that Lillia had woken up. She stroked Innis’ cheek with her lily-white hand. It was an alluring touch. A butterfly seemed to lick her nectar.

“…I really like you, Innis. So whatever you do is fine. Even if you bite and suck and do anything with Eva. Even if it’s in front of me… No, it’s okay if you do it with me. But… Taking it away is nothing. No.”

Her hand went down and stopped at her neck. Lillia’s hand rested on Innis’ slender neck. Lilia quietly felt her pulse there and continued her remarks.

“That’s not enough Innis. I can’t allow it.”

“…I was the first person I met with Eva.”

“I am the one who owns Eva now.”

Lilia strongly asserted again.

“Innis, no. That’s absolutely not possible, okay? I’m not saying don’t do it. I’m saying no. I don’t care about doctors.”

Innis frowned at him. What was placed on his neck now was a sloppy possessive desire disguised as his hand. He was the hand of a foolish and selfish man who had suffered countless losses and lost the courage to let go.

That’s why he was the hand of someone who could win stronger than anyone else.

“Okay?”

Lilia smiled as refreshingly as juice and pressed her own lips to Innis’s neck. Then he hugged her and whispered softly.

“I need to know…”

From noble mtl dot com

“I know. I know very well.”

Innis nodded.

“I’ll have to connect with Iba on my own!”

Innis left her kiss on Lilia’s ear. She didn’t even know herself, but she meant sorry.

“Thanks Lilia, now I know exactly what to do.”

She also smiled sweetly, then she hugged Lilia tightly. She lasted that hug for a few seconds and then she let go.

“Yes! The words I wanted to say and the worries ended with this!”

“So…? Then, are you really not going to watch this?”

Lilia swayed as she picked up the one of her papers she had brought.

“Not very interesting…”

“Ah, don’t do that~ Come over here and read it together… No, I just have to be honest.”

Lilia smiled kinder than ever before and gestured to Innis.

“Would you like to stay up all night with me in my quest for knowledge?”

“That, I’ll refuse!”

Innis heartlessly shut the door immediately and left.

“Ah…”

Lilia looked at the empty seat with regret. Lillia, who immediately gave up her lingering feelings and collapsed on her desk again, silently chewed on the conversation from earlier.

“Innis… Like that…”

It was bittersweet. I feel betrayed, envious, and angry somewhere. It was a feeling that could not be put into words. It was a complex and profound emotion, like a palette where many colors became unrecognizable. It was hard to define what.

What kind of face should I look at Innis from now on?

Lilia has a problem.

“It’s a marriage…”

I have another question.

“Would Iba get married…?”

The answer might be here.

Lilia pointed to one of the piles of papers she had brought and started reading.

It was a fun and painful time to explore knowledge.

“What are you doing?”

She couldn’t sleep at night, so she went out for a walk. There she met a man.

“See you again.”

It was Rumia. The veil of the night was drawn over her, and her figure enveloping her was very beautiful. Even though she came out of the path of assassination, the darkness was still a beautiful accessory to her. The glowing eyes in the dark created a more mysterious atmosphere.

“Come to think of it, did you guard the library? Lilia was on her way.”

“No… I tried to steal the book by using stealth, telekinesis, and even hallucinations…

As if trying to recreate that time, Rumia imitated cutting a knife.

“A few were taken away in the end…”

“Are you okay?”

“Originally, it’s not okay… But no matter how much I do, I can’t hurt Lilia-sama…”

Rumia drooped her shoulders, blatantly revealing her disappointment.

“But it’ll be better than you think.”

“It’s not just good, what’s better than you think.”

“I heard from the owner.”

Rumia, who had walked through her moonlight, turned around.

“She can pass a few of them while pretending that she doesn’t want to read the knowledge of the future.”

The figure of Rumia walking in her flower garden was her lady. Her moonlight bent giddily as it touched the curves of her body.

“But, Mr. Eva says it’s no good.”

Eva asked.

“Why?”

“Iva doesn’t adapt the moment she realizes it, it’s because she rebels.”

Rumia giggled as she ran her fingers through her petals, hurting her moonlight.

“That’s why it didn’t work.”

Eva nodded her head in agreement.

“Just hearing the word makes me want to rebel. What the hell is going on?”

“Of course I can’t tell you… I can’t!”

Rumia hopped on top of her fence and answered, balancing herself.

Eva went to her side and held out her hand. Rumia, who casually held her hand, smiled.

“Iva-sama’s hands have definitely gotten smaller. I felt it before, but it’s true.”

“To say I’ve gotten smaller. Couldn’t it be that I’ve grown up?”

“You could also call it that.”

Rumia asked.

“Iva, did I say I would become a spy for you?”

“It was. Actually, it’s not that old for me, though.”

“You’ll probably have to put me to good use when I’m gone. The captain’s tracking pretty hard.”

“Me?”

“Yes. I’m sure it didn’t end like this. Of course, take me by your side.”

“Huh…”

As he supported Rumia to properly walk her fence, he stroked her chin.

“How should I use you?”

“Honestly, everything was immature at that time… Wouldn’t it be okay to use it for sabotage by delivering false orders?”

“That’s fine.”

Eva snapped her fingers and adopted it.

Rumia asked again.

“Iva, Iva.”

“Yeah, why?”

“Isn’t the moon pretty?”

Did I tell you? At the now outdated, conventional and metaphorical expression, Eva smiled and replied.

“Yes.”

As she said, the moon was clear.

She might look that way because she was loved.

Eva thought in that stillness. Is the reason why I’m showing affection like this because I know my anguish, or is it just because of longing? Or is it both?

Closing her eyes and feeling her warmth, Eva decided.

Rumia is someone who hasn’t seen me for a long time now.

How to send from the future to the past.

What kind of sacrifice will be required to transcend that time? Eva pondered deeply.
