20 – The Storm Strikes Twice The Storm Strikes Twice

“What’s your relationship with her?”

The moment those words came out of Elgar’s mouth, what about Kyle? And sighed.

What is it? Why did such a line, such a dangerous line come out of Elgar’s mouth?

Isn’t that just jumping out of nowhere with yourself in front of you?

‘… Isn’t it? Isn’t it, princess? Really, isn’t it?’

Unlike male characters who have zero notice and mental eunuchs.

Kyle had to figure out Elgar’s condition very quickly.

She gave up her mind that she had been holding on to, and she turned her attention to a new place.

Run to Leto right now, you bastard! I want to strangle her.

With such a great beauty, even though they are childhood friends who are the cheat key among cheat keys.

Because she didn’t take any action until her heart completely cooled down.

What went wrong from where? Where did it get so twisted?

Kyle bit her lip and squeezed her hair desperately.

‘Elgar is not just a girl who wants her love. She clearly wants to be loved, but she is also a woman with ambitions to lead the Grand Duchess of Littorio. What Elgar needs is that she understands herself, but at the same time, she can decisively support her in the most difficult times. She’s the kind of person who’s sure of that.’

Maybe in the novel, Leto will become that kind of person and the relationship will gradually develop.

From a lord who should just bow her head and follow her, to a companion holding her hand and moving forward together.

A character with mental growth! Yeah, that sounds really good when you look at it like this.

The big problem here is that it goes far past the intro.

And it would be that there was no ‘variable’ called Kyle in the meantime.

If it was the original flow, no one would have shaken Leto’s seat.

She somehow even straddled her feet because she couldn’t shake the spot herself.

If this is the case, it is clear that eventually Elgar will choose Kyle himself, not Leto.

No, maybe she has already made her choice.

“Why don’t you answer, Kyle? Is that embarrassing to answer?”

Listening to Elgar’s words, Kyle tightly closed her eyes.

It’s clear that no matter what answer she gives, she can’t benefit at all.

If she said that she had no relationship, then Elgar would definitely aim for her position.

If she gave the opposite answer, then she would approach Tisha.

By the way, I’m not worried about the meeting between Elgar and Tisha.

Ian, who is always staying near Tisha without knowing it, is the one I’m worried about.

If you imagine the two colliding… Fuck. There is no such thing as a nightmare.

“I would like to ask why you are asking such a question.”

“Looking at it earlier, they were busy following Tisha.”

“How did you do that… ?”

“I came across it by accident.”

“….”

Isn’t that bastard’s ‘by chance’ absolutely not ‘by chance’, princess?

What kind of person is looking at one person at a party like this?

‘It’s out to say no relationship. If there is not even a barrier, this princess, I guarantee you, it will come in a really big way. But to say that she is her girlfriend, I can see Ti Shan or Ian….’

It is always good to have a good relationship with the main character.

I am not the main character for nothing. Even if he doesn’t gain, he won’t lose either.

Then, the answer that can safely pass the current situation is….

“A friend.”

“A friend.”

“Yes.”

“Really?”

“… For now, yes.”

I deliberately inserted the word ‘for now.’

Whether Tisha listens, Elgar listens, or Ian listens, I can give a more favorable interpretation to myself.

That’s why he came up with such a vague answer.

I feel embarrassed that I am managing the fishing grounds, but I can’t help it.

I couldn’t even think properly, let alone decide which route to take.

A really embarrassing situation for Kyle, who tried to have a good relationship with all the main characters.

For him who doesn’t even know the contents of this work, that relationship is his only hope.

So right now, all I had to do was come up with an answer like this bullshit.

“You know that kind of answer is pretty annoying for a woman to hear, right?”

“I know.”

“Not just me, but Tisha can too.”

“… I know that part too.”

“Nevertheless, we are friends for now.”

Elgar stared at Kyle with her strange eyes.

Her eyes were so burdensome that she just wanted to run away.

Why is it so twisted to be involved with a woman like this!

“Me, Kyle. I want to be the head of my family.”

“… Yes?”

“I want to become Archduke Littorio.”

Is that so? Oh, I see. Okay. I’m rooting for you! It’s not something to go over.

Why are you saying such a huge thing in front of Kyle and no one else?

That must be because of what he said to Elgar earlier.

You must be the owner of the grand duchess! I think so! Elga you can do it!

‘… Well. You have dug your own living hell grave. Plague.’

Kyle thought so and closed her eyes tightly.

*

At first, it was just an attempt to entice Leto’s jealousy.

Although the heart she had so far had cracks, it wasn’t completely gone.

By any chance, if he looked back even now, he thought he would too.

However, Leto finally gave up even Elgar’s last hope.

Whether or not she continues to cast her eyes on a man named Kyle.

They didn’t care in the slightest, they were just calmly guarding the side.

‘Ha ha.’

Yes. You knew it would be like this. It was expected.

Now, step by step, slowly but surely, move away from him.

Leto never sees me as a woman. There is no turning back.

I’m really tired of the empty echoes that never return.

Before, they said it was because they were young or immature.

Now I really need to give a definite answer, but Leto finally turned it down.

And Elgar, there is no time, no room, no mind to wait any longer.

What he needs right now is not just a nodding subordinate.

I’m not a lover who goes out with the intention of playing with fire for a while.

A comrade, colleague, companion, and more are needed.

In that respect, Leto was unfortunately inferior.

He has no intention of dying as a man’s woman.

This fire in my heart wants that Littorio to be a grand duke.

Because of that, if he can’t go further, he won’t look back either.

The only thing left is to ask and release regret, regret, and sadness.

‘More than that… Where is that man going?’

At one point, Elgar was paying attention to Kyle’s movements.

Especially when she sees Kyle chasing after Tisha, who disappeared towards the balcony a moment ago.

Suddenly, a strange fire that cannot be explained in words burned in one place in my heart.

She never had her in the first place, so why does he feel like he was taken away?

Reason said it wasn’t even funny, and was trying to stop Elgar from doing it.

Elgar’s mind, which had already been messed up by Leto, was out of her control.

“Leto.”

“Yes, ball… Mr. Elga.”

“Go and get the man, Kyle John Nassen.”

“You mean Kyle from Baron John Nassen? For some reason, can I bring it?”

“That….”

I couldn’t answer. Elgar couldn’t answer Leto’s question.

In the first place, she didn’t want to bring Kyle for some reason.

It’s just because of this fire, because of an inexplicable whim.

“… First, bring it.”

She is Elgarda, who is rarely forced to act for no reason.

For Leto, who knew that well, this kind of appearance was very unfamiliar.

‘Has something happened to Jon Nassen’s Kyle?’

If it was another man, I would have asked him directly.

But Leto kept her mouth shut.

She still thought that she would just follow her orders anyway.

“I’ll be back.”

After Leto disappears at a quick pace.

‘Why am I really like this!’

Elgar muttered while holding her head.

It’s the first time I’ve done this to call an extramarital man with whom I have no contact.

Would something bad come out of the Grand Duchess Littorio? She was careful and careful not to make a mistake on me.

But why did he do such a ridiculous thing all of a sudden?

It’s already too late to return the order.

From above, Leto was already talking to Kyle about something.

After a while Kyle was actually coming upstairs.

“I brought you, Miss Elgar.”

“You worked hard, Leto. Just go downstairs.”

After Leto disappeared, only the two of them remained.

“….”

“….”

I’m trying hard to pretend that nothing is wrong, but I feel like my insides are burning.

I didn’t know what to say after calling him. The topic I was thinking of….

“I had an accident today.”

It was like that.

‘You stupid idiot!’

Isn’t this no different from calling for a fight?

Mistakes that have never been made are pouring out today.

Because of Leto and because of Kyle. Even if you’re weird, you’ve become too weird.

‘Leto, Leto. That idiot Because of that stupid idiot!’

Such Elgar’s feelings became a complaint at some point and spilled out of her mouth. She

Says she doesn’t know. Even Leto has no confidence in himself.

‘On the other hand, Kyle, you’re not.’

It was the first time. He was the one who gave me the answer I so longed for.

It’s not the time, it’s not your place, it’s dangerous, it’s not like that.

That position is yours, so try harder, fight more. It was the first time anyone answered that.

I still feel like I can hear my heart beating just thinking about that moment.

But today, there was another woman by his side.

A woman named Tisha. She was there even when she first faced Kyle.

There is no relationship between himself and Kyle. Having such a mind is itself a funny thing.

Nevertheless, I can’t figure out what the hell this unquenchable fire is.

In the end, Elgar couldn’t stand the heat and she asked this question.

“What is your relationship with that woman?”

Then Kyle showed a worried light, and she answered.

A friend. First of all, as a friend.

‘… Under.’

There’s no way he doesn’t know the hidden meaning behind that answer.

Aren’t you trying to get out of the current situation with an answer that is neither one nor the other?

I thought it was unpleasant, but it also felt strangely good.

In any case, it means that Kyle cares about himself, for whatever reason.

‘Well, that’s all right. More than that now….’

With Kyle standing in front of her like this, she had something she wanted to hear again.

“Me, Kyle. She wants to be the head of my family. I mean, I want to become the Grand Duke of Littorio.”

So hurry up, give me that confident answer like last time.

I really needed that word of encouragement, that piece of affirmation that I can do it.

I’ll think of a way to hold the grand duchess in my hands. I’ll think about what sacrifices I’ll have to make.

You just need to say that you can do it, and that you can do it.

What no one else by my side could do. Kyle, you did it.

“….”

Kyle, who had been silent, was about to take her lips away.

Woong-Wooong-.

Suddenly, the banquet hall started to become noisy.
