48. Hunting for two (3)

Good stuff.

A nice thing to do while holding hands on a cozy bed.

“… ….”

Am I the bad guy who has strange imaginations?

I questioned myself and looked down.

Lea is looking up at me with a slightly awkward but very charming smile.

“Oh, I’m telling you in advance… …. Aren’t you just trying to say something?”

Following Lia’s breath as she smiles, her nicely swollen chest rises and falls, showing off her presence.

The immaculate skin, revealed at first glance through the strange underwear, catches my eye.

I want to touch it just a little bit.

“When did you bring this again?”

She was thinking such a stupid thought, but suddenly came to her senses and asked.

As someone who has become an escort knight, I can’t recklessly lay my hands on the lady she attends.

Lia smiled prettily at the question she asked after she finally regained her composure.

“Whew… …. Why, I wonder?”

That’s why I’m curious.

There is no way she can’t help but wonder when Ria is in front of her in such disgusting, erotic underwear, isn’t it?

However, if I answered honestly, it would be a given that I would get caught up in Lia’s pace.

I spit on my lips and shook my head.

“That’s not it. Just to tell you that this type of undergarment is not suitable for a noble lady…….”

“Oh, did you just get your appetite?”

“…… No.”

“A lie, did I see it clearly?”

Kwak-.

Leah put a lot of her strength into her clasped hands and pulled me gently.

“Looking at your breasts gave you a bad appetite, right?”

“No.”

“Then what did you do?”

“I just put some saliva on my lips.”

“Suddenly, why?”

“Well, um… ….”

Searching for an excuse for her, she suddenly looked at Lia not at her face but at her chest.

This is not because he dared to have a disrespectful heart, or because he was imagining a man. It’s just because Taesan with a sense of volume is sitting right in front of my eyes.

…… So, I didn’t see it because I wanted to see it. Its presence was so great that I had no choice but to see it.

However, Lia, who had no way of knowing this, looked as if she had caught one. She tickled my finger gently.

“Did you see it?”

“…… What do you mean?”

“Did you see my breasts?”

I don’t know if it’s a situation where we’re a certain distance from each other, but in a situation where you can touch anywhere if you reach out like this, there’s no point in pretending.

She said that she had no evil intentions, but she couldn’t say no even if her mouth was torn in the yard that was already caught. I tried to talk first, but glanced-. Unknowingly, I lowered my gaze.

“Hey, I saw it again.”

Her eyes were nailed to Lia’s chest, almost like an N-pole magnet meeting an S-pole. There was no excuse this time.

…… The reason why my eyes keep going back to the distant place is 100% because of alcohol.

Yes, this is because of the alcohol. It’s not because I’m a brute with no self-control, it’s just that a man has no choice but to become like this if he drinks a lot.

“My Cain, I thought you were a cute puppy. Aren’t you a wolf, not a dog?”

Tickling Tickling, Lia untied her hands and tickled my chin with her fingers.

“Looking at it now, it seems that his eyes are secretly sly like that of a wolf…… ?”

I don’t think it’s worth putting Ria in front of her, calling me a wolf. Calling a man who behaves erratically a wolf is an insult to wolves.

Because wolves are different from other beasts. They are romantic beasts that only look at one mate for the rest of their lives.

Remembering the knowledge I had read in a book one day, I decided to tell Lia about this, if I didn’t know anything else.

“Lia-sama, there seems to be a misunderstanding.”

“Huh? What misunderstanding?”

“Wolves are horses. It’s not the kind of beast Lia-sama thinks.”

“Whoa, what does that sound like?”

As if asking for an explanation, Leah raised her head and looked at me with a smile.

I looked down at Lia and grabbed her right hand as it tickled my chin.

“Wolves do not avert their eyes from those they associate with. No matter what.”

“Eh, so?”

“So, if you use the expression wolf-like to mean revealing your female color, then that is wrong. The wolf is single-minded, a noble beast that never loses sight of it…….”

Tuk, Leah tapped my lips.

“So, Cain looks more like a wolf?”

“…… Yes?”

“I’ve never looked at him, and he’s only looked at me until now. You only held hands with me, only hugged me. Also, I’ve never kissed any other girl besides me. I’ve never had a woman other than me.”

Leah, who was counting each one as she folded her fingers, looked at me.

“To put it all together. A wolf that only looks at me, right?”

For some reason, I came to a completely different conclusion than I intended.

This is also a way of thinking in an unexpected direction. I lick my lips and think about what to say.

Quickly, Leah reached out with her free left hand and wrapped it around my neck.

I put her free hand on the side of Lia’s head before her torso leaned forward.

The distance is close.

“Okay then. Not a cute puppy, but actually a cool wolf, our Cain-sama?”

Leah lifted the corners of her mouth and smiled lightly, then grabbed her hand that was holding her and pulled it over her own belly.

“Are you going to keep pretending you don’t know, just avoiding it like that?”

The soft skin unique to women touched the tips of my fingers.

“Or, would you like to hear her honest feelings and accept the award?”

“… ….”

It’s just that the way we sing has changed a little, but it feels like we’re sober.

As if I had been drenched in cold water, I came to my senses and swallowed the mokuldae in one gulp.

As if urging her to answer, she looked up at me silently with her blue eyes. I opened my mouth slowly.

“Is this a question too?”

A somewhat cowardly question, whether it would be okay to treat it as an extension of the game we used to play.

But for some reason, Lia just smiles at me. She didn’t give me a proper answer.

…… It makes my heart flutter for no reason, I don’t know why I’m just laughing.

I avoided her gaze because I felt uncomfortable making eye contact with her, and Leah began to massage my neck.

Even so, his eyes were fixed on me. Even if there were no words, it means that I understand the intention behind the actions.

“You know what, Cain? I am.”

Lea suddenly said.

She met my gaze directly and opened her pink lips.

“My personality is a bit impatient, so I don’t like talking in circles. Therefore.”

Leah stopped talking and pulled my upper body.

“If Cain doesn’t answer honestly…….”

She whispered in my ear.

“…… What am i going to do I don’t even know myself.”

“… ….”

This……. Is it intimidation?

If you don’t want to see me rolling my eyes, Lia’s threat to choose the answer carefully…… ?

I met her gaze with Leah.

Normally, I just thought that she had really pretty blue eyes.

For some reason, today, Lia’s eyes felt really scary.

The look in his eyes is also unusual, it seems like some indescribable desire is overflowing. I had a strong intuition that if I made useless excuses, I would not be able to handle it.

“Lia-sama.”

“Yes, Cain.”

In that case, the only answer is a head-on breakthrough.

“I really don’t know what to say.”

I took a deep breath and looked straight at Leah.

“That, we are not yet. Aren’t you young?”

“…… So?”

“So, isn’t it still too early to talk about this… ….”

I barely let go of her luck and looked at Leah.

“… ….”

Lia’s eyes seem to have lost their natural color and become more and more cloudy……. I had a strange illusion.

Only then did I sense that something was wrong with her, and I hurriedly opened my mouth.

“…… Therefore. I wonder if it would be better to talk to you again in the near future, not now.”

“In the near future… …. When is this?”

“That’s Ria-sama’s debut concert… ….”

After the

Is over, around the time of the coming-of-age ceremony-. The moment I was about to say

“After the debutante, you want to do it again?”

“Yes? No….”

“…… No?”

“Oh, no. You’re right. After the debut concert, uh…. Exactly.”

Shaking her head, she added, and as if it had never happened, life returned to Lia’s eyes.

“Well, Cain will need to prepare his mind too.”

“Ah. Thank you.”

I wondered if I should be thankful for this. Still, I’m glad it seems to have come to an end.

He sighed inwardly and raised his upper body. Lia had a very sad look on her face, but she didn’t hold onto me like that.

“Hey, Cain?”

“Yes.”

“I was late to ask. Oh, this underwear. I think it suits me…… ?”

Leah, who tugged on her shoulder straps connected to her underwear, asked with a slightly shy attitude.

I pretended not to see Leah’s exposed skin and slightly averted my gaze.

“It suits you well… …. I guess.”

“…… Really? Matches well?”

Actually, it doesn’t match well, but it fits terribly. To the point where I, who was very patient, lost my composure in an instant.

But if I said that, it would be like digging my own grave. I just nodded my head without saying anything.

“Yeah, okay. It suits me well, so I can wear something similar next time.”

“… ….”

If you ask me if there is another one, it must be a scrape, right?

It’s better to talk about something more constructive than the obvious question, about the practical exam in a few days.

First, Leah found a blanket to cover her with. Lia took her lips while pouting and put them on her shoulder, and thanks to that, I felt more comfortable with her, and I lucked out lightly.

“Lia-sama, doesn’t the practical test, monster hunting, start in a few days?”

“Yes.”

“So, I did some thinking.”

Unlike the practical training that ended in 2 hours, the practical test will be very tight as it will be conducted for 48 hours with no breaks. So, you have to plan your strategy with physical strength in mind.

I have already memorized the outline of the practical exam from the original work. As was the case in the actual training, if the highest score preempts the individual and defeats it, first place is already a matter of course.

If you show your usual skills by matching the sum well as you have done so far, it is clear that there will be no big worries.

Confident in my heart, I glanced at Lia.

“First of all, Lia and I’s initial strategy… ….”

“…… Eight.”

The lips touched.

It was only for a moment, but Leah’s lips touched mine and then fell.

“…… Uh?”

For a moment, I was dumbfounded and looked at Lia, groping her lips with her hand.

“Cain, did I tell you?”

Leah, like a child who has succeeded in a prank, she has a mischievous smile.

“If you don’t answer honestly now, you don’t know what I will do.”

Wasn’t that a good thing by mutual agreement?

I just looked at her with a rather absurd look, and then Lia reached out her hand and pressed her index finger to my lips.

“Did you think you could get over it by fooling around like that?”

“…… No, just a little while ago.”

I was about to reply that he said he would let me go. I realized one thing.

Lea only said that I would need to prepare myself.

She never said, ‘Let’s talk about it again after the debut tangent.’

“Whew.”

Leah, smiling lightly, put down the blanket she had draped over her shoulder and crept closer to me.

I put my hand on her bedspread and calmly pulled her hips back.

“If you give me this much time, you have finished preparing your mind, right?”

“Wait a minute. Leah. This is a different story-.”

“Now, answer quickly. Cain!”

Leah hugged me around the waist, her eyes shining like a predator facing her prey.

“If you don’t answer quickly, I won’t sleep tonight…… ?”

“…… Ah.”

* * *

In the meantime, the Reinhardt Mansion.

“…… Hmm.”

Ruin Reinhardt, the current acting head of the Reinhard family, recalled the conversation he had with Count Macmillan a while ago.

‘Even if I bring out the abbreviation for engagement, I get seizures.’

The bear-like fox who was terribly concerned with her daughter was very angry, telling her not to talk nonsense about the engagement of a child who hadn’t even made her debut. In fact, she must have already tapped her calculator in her head.

What can be gained and what must be endured through the marriage of Lia von Eleves, his daughter, and Cain Reinhardt, the third son of the Reinhardt family. And even the future of the family and the succession structure.

In that short time, I would have spread out the drawing paper and drew my own picture.

“You must have thought the size would be okay.”

No wonder, Earl Macmillan, a well-known philanthropist, has only one wife, so he has no right-born heir.

Of course, she has a daughter, Lia von Eleves. If you think about entering the political world in the future, it is right to put forward a boy unconditionally. It is said that a woman can also be a head of household. Aristocratic societies tend to be quite conservative, so it is advantageous to have men.

But, Macmillan’s wife, who has not had her second child in over ten years, is not going to give birth to her baby boy now. One of two options.

The first is to wait for the grandson his daughter will give birth to. The second is to adopt her baby boy from her collateral family, but

“There are no boys in the collateral branch of the Eleves family.”

This was found out through a thorough background investigation, so it was solid information.

‘If not, there is only one option left.’

He wants a grandson his daughter will give birth to, but if he gets a son-in-law with a son-in-law from a family that is bigger than the Eleves family, it is practically absorbed and integrated. If a family whose weight class is too small is beaten as a son-in-law. There will be no political benefit.

It is neither too big nor too small, so you can sleep as you like. At the same time, he must welcome a son-in-law from a family that can benefit the Eleves family politically.

“Finally, is there a boy next to you who is just right for you?”

Ruin Reinhardt rested the back of his hand on his chin.

What we, the Reinhardt family, need is a strong support and a financial line.

And what the Eleves family needs is an overwhelming force capable of defending what successive family heads have built up.

Just in time, the relationship of interest between the families must be just right.

If it’s clear that they’re dead or not, it’ll be a good cause to bring the two together.

‘That bear-like fox won’t come over me easily.’

Earl Macmillan himself would know. The fact that the marriage between the families is beneficial, not a loss.

Isn’t that the case when you look at the families of yourself and your wife right away without having to go far?

Ruin Reinhardt flipped through a document.

“I don’t know how far the rumors are true.”

There is no way smoke will rise from an unopened fireplace.

“Be sure to do it, Cain.”

It’s better if you have a big accident so that you can grill more comfortably.

Ruin Reinhardt sincerely thought so.

“…… Oh, but. How the hell did that wooden-stone guy bewitched a woman?”

‘I’m suddenly curious.’

“I’ll ask later.”

She smiled as she imagined a future that might come soon, a few years from now.
