Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 85

Renissa’s admonition ended simply.

Now that I am in the position of the same attendant, I was only saying a little bit bitterly in the hope that there would be no confusion for the rest of the time. Rather, from the position of Itthiel as a knight, he was very surprised and satisfied that the person who had made friends with the princess of the empire was an acquaintance of Ragnis.

When I heard the story, someone who seemed to be the captain of Esmuer’s escort or the head of the bodyguard came and told me that she had taken me. I guess it didn’t work either.

By the way, the captain is obviously a true Esmuye fanatic.

You mean, since she didn’t object, she assumed that even what I forced her to do was the same as taking her away?

It gives me goosebumps all over again.

“By the way… do you know what the Marquis and the Princess are trying to talk about?”

“No. I just know that you two have been thinking about it for quite some time before you come back.”

About 3 hours after class. I was so curious that I wanted to steal it, but I didn’t have the skills or manners to do so, so I decided to just sit still in the living room.

I’m a corpse if I don’t notice! I’m aware that this is my fault.

“The truancy may have been a bit like that, too.”

Still, his employer was Ragnis, but he acted too spontaneously. It’s literally like a friend of the boss and an employee acting as they please. Let’s make sure to apologize for this.

The captain said that the princess had taken her away, so the two of them would have a conversation for now, but I’d be the one who was called after the story was over anyway.

◈

“The captain of the bodyguard said that Esmue took Eldmia.”

The current flowing between Ragnis and Esmuer is neither desolate nor full of vigilance.

It was Ragnis, who was just calm and pretending to be businesslike, and Esmue, who was sitting and sipping tea in a relaxed and casual manner.

“It’s a lie. But from his point of view it’s true.”

“What… do you mean?”

“He didn’t reject Eldmia’s actions and opinions. The fact that the next emperor of the empire didn’t refuse didn’t mean he agreed. That’s why the captain of the guards expressed that he took Eldmia at leisure.”

It’s not like a lower person can take a higher person. After talking that far, Esmuer let out a self-deprecating snort.

While making an excuse that it is because of the car that makes me feel a bit bitter after the dream-like time has passed and returned to reality.

“That’s what being a genius and an imperial family is like. You’re forced to take every action in a form where your determination is unquestioned and unwavering. Isn’t it? The feeling of solitude is different from that.”

“…He’s a commoner.”

“Compared to knowing how to dig into the essence of a story, it’s an ordinary excuse you won’t even make to yourself.”

Esmuër, who made direct eye contact with Ragnis with a light smile as if he was having fun, declared the same.

“Marquis. Duke, prince of a foreign country, king of a foreign country. In front of a woman, all those titles are no different from commoners.”

At that unwavering reply, Ragnis felt a slight goosebump in his body.

There is no doubt or arrogance in the two eyes. He doesn’t even laugh at himself as the Marquis of a kingdom. She was simply telling the truth.

Others may feel jealous of the fact, but from the point of view of the person concerned, there is no reason to feel superior just by telling the truth.

“I have no intention of missing the opening Eldmia.”

It was a wedge, but Esmuer’s demeanor was the same.

“I graduated from the leisure academy in the form of skipping classes because I had nothing more to learn there and at the same time I had no connections to gain.

4 years like that. She became the next emperor.

“What does it mean to spend four days of leisure only for Eldmia? I don’t think you will understand.”

“understand.”

I was mistaken just by looking at the appearance. At first, I just thought that Eldmia was no different from the other ladies of the academy who had bean pods. Because of that, it was Ragnis himself who couldn’t see his opponent properly.

How could he have believed that she was blinded by halfway love and romance? Because of the small and cute appearance? Because of the voice that sounds young?

The opponent was the one who obtained the nickname of the next emperor.

“Of course, that doesn’t mean I won’t show a coercive attitude or force it with power. But I won’t hesitate to use the hand that I have. Just as I did my best for the position of the emperor, I love Eldmia. I will do everything in my power.”

Asilie was Eldmia’s benefactor and at the same time an elf who was a long-lived species. As a result, Ragnis implicitly felt that she was an insurmountable wall. Even in Eldmia, Asilier’s existence was huge.

That is why. At least the second thought it didn’t matter. I believed that it would be possible. I never imagined that confidence would collapse in this form.

Esmue, who was sitting in front of me, felt like a huge wall like Asillie.

“What are you going to do?”

“yes?”

“What are you so surprised about? ‘Then give up Eldmia and step back.’ You react as if you thought you were going to say it coercively.”

Esmuet sipped the tea with a sad expression, but Ragnis could not lift the cup despite the feeling of burning in his mouth.

“I’m not an idiot to open. It’s a genius. At first, I wondered if the Ogatorv family lent talent for you, who were still lacking in power, but not anymore. It must be you who brought the dragon to the capital. Since your father was a member of the king’s faction… I wonder if his tail was trampled on by a noble faction or his kite was touched in one situation? It must have been accepted.”

You can’t know everything, but you can guess that much. Esmuer shrugged and said as if it was really no big deal.

“The blank space you were hiding in before that time…I don’t know if he helped you. Of course, in general, you can ask what a kid at that time could do, but opening is not common, so I think of the degree as a possibility enough. After thinking that way, I can fully understand your love interest. When I think of Eldmia’s careless appearance… It’s a bit absurd, but isn’t it possible?”

No matter how different countries are, it is not easy to not back down even with the next emperor in front of you. Because he appreciated that part, Esmuye decided to give advice to Ragnis, who could be considered a rival.

“I don’t know what you’re waiting for, but you have to reach out to get what you want. It’s not about trying to keep others from getting it.”

After sipping his last sip, Esmuer naturally rose from his seat. Even though he had summoned him, Ragnis could no longer hold on to Esmue.

I was going to be a bit self-conscious while talking about formality, but Esmuer rather threw a quick ball at himself.

“Hey, can I ask you one question?”

“Hmm? What is it?”

“Why…why did you suddenly become so interested in Eldmia in just one day?”

Esmuer smiled at the question that came in just as he was about to open the door and leave. It wasn’t like a mockery, but I just laughed like it was funny.

“To Yeo, everyone is a lower person after all. Aside from how she treats you, she acts as if she firmly believes that everyone will be like that. No matter how confidently they try, they are the same in the end. Taking off that mask is one of Yeo’s jobs. I can be sure.”

The answer that came out as if there was nothing to worry about continued.

“So far, there have been only four of them. The one who acts confidently in such a situation.”

“Four people?”

“Yeo’s parents. The hero. And Eldmia.”

Esmuet opened the door without giving any consent and gave the last answer through the closed door.

“And like a normal girl, it was only Eldmia who treated me as a person. Isn’t love blooming on an equal footing?”

Ragnis did not follow. I didn’t even care about Esmu. It’s a huge favor to have done this much to a rival. I couldn’t help but marvel at his generosity.

“Is the story over, Esmuet?”

When I came down the stairs, Eldmia, who was sitting by the fireplace in the living room, got up and asked. No other users were seen. I don’t know if there were special instructions or if it was mealtime, but Esmuye liked that.

I thought it would be pretty good if one day we could enjoy a leisurely life together like this in the same space.

He was an obnoxious man who made me have minor complaints about many things that I had lived my whole life without complaint.

“Um. I’m going back now. More than that. Bow down for a moment.”

Eldmia quietly bowed while making a face that wanted something, but after doing so, Esmuer had to admit that she was mistaken.

“Eh. It’s meaningless because your legs are long. Get down on your knees!”

“What are you trying to do?”

Even so, the way he kneels down on his knees again is quite cute. In many ways, unlike the sharp impression, there was a kind side.

“When a person is tied to a certain goal, he cannot see his surroundings well. Don’t you know that?”

“Yes…?”

“But why can’t you put it into practice when you know it?”

“yes?”

Although a bit embarrassed, she decided to display the courage of an emperor-to-be.

Gathering all his courage, Esmuer gently grabbed Eldmia’s cheeks and kissed her lightly while overcoming his beating heart.

For a moment, I felt as if the world was quiet.

I felt like I couldn’t keep my mind from the minute temperature I felt on my lips. It was to the point where I wanted to yell at my past self, who I thought was just a kiss, and tell me not to talk nonsense.

Feeling the sound of her heart ringing in her ears and resonating in her head, as the short kiss ended, Eldmia opened her eyes wide unsuitably. fortunately it was If he had a calm expression on his face, he’d rather die.

“Look around you some more. I don’t know what your goals are, but I can see that you’re no more relaxed than I used to be.”

“…Huh?”

“By the way, it was the first kiss we opened.”

If Eldmia, who was flustered, came to her senses, she would lose her mind, so Esmuer walked outside.

Then, as if running away, he got on the wagon prepared by the captain of the guards.
