I Was Confessed to by the Golden Sun

36 – 36. It wasn’t as I wished when I entered, and it’s the same when I leave…

“Have a peaceful night.”

My judgment was quick.

Maybe it’s the fastest I’ve ever changed my mind in my life.

I thought it would be dangerous if I didn’t run away from here, so I rushed to the door.

-Chyazjak!

Gorgeous defensive spells layered upon the door.

Lucia, being a physical fighter, had her spells activated elsewhere.

For instance, they were stored in scrolls and activated when needed.

Carving spells into such items is very expensive, and the efficiency during storage is also low.

“..How much does this all cost?”

It’s incredibly inefficient to use several scrolls containing high-level magic to block one door.

Short-distance teleportation tickets are the same. It’s an exorbitant amount of money.

“It’s probably around 350,000 gold.”

So, I asked with trembling fear, but Lucia casually replied, extending her fingers.

350,000 gold, when converted to Korean Won, is about 350 million Won.

So, this crazy woman spent 350 million Won to keep me here for a night.

“Are you out of your mind for real?”

Although Klein Hujaegar is from a family with wealth that is within the top 10 in the Empire.

Still, this is too much. I think I should say something sharp…

“Anyway, I have a lot of money, so spending time with you is much better for me.”

I said, how can I get angry when you come out so cute..?

I concealed the laughter welling up on my face and calmly changed my tone before speaking.

“Lucia, do you know how much the average salary of commoners is per year?”

She put her hand on her head and pondered, then answered with a bright face after a moment.

“Wouldn’t it be around 150,000 gold?”

“Wow, really.”

I thought maybe she would spend money like water, but she had absolutely no sense of economy.

The cost of living in this reverse harem novel is not much different from South Korea.

So right now, Lucia is estimating the average salary of the middle class in South Korea as 15 million…

“Well, let’s talk about this later in detail.”

Count Klein must be lenient towards his daughter because he has one son, but even so, he should at least foster basic common sense, if not the education of a successor.

“Huh?”

Look, doesn’t she have an innocent face that seems to have no idea what mistake she made?

She’s cute, but the world isn’t easy enough to survive with just cuteness.

“Anyway, even if I don’t know about this kind of thing, if I marry you, won’t you take care of everything? I’m going to live as the head of the Aurelante family.”

..It seems that the world is limited to Lucia, and the difficulty level seems appropriate.

She confidently hands over property rights to me and plans to live comfortably without worrying about money using the money she obtained from Count Klein, a detestable confidence.

Since there was a part of me that found it even more endearing to hear that, I decided to give up thinking any further.

“Stop saying that and come sit next to me, it won’t open until tomorrow morning because it’s a high-performance one.”

You are truly a braggart.

If I try to break those spells through violence, it might be impossible for a long time.

But it would probably be faster for Lucia to forcefully grab me and throw me onto the bed.

I walke

Lucia’s gaze was too earnest to say such words.

“Okay.”

With a deep sigh, I nodded.

Lucia cheerfully smiled and pointed at the clock.

“It’s getting late now. Let’s go to bed!”

It was only 9 o’clock in the evening, but in this world where there were no electronic devices, people’s sleep schedule tended to be relatively advanced. Even so, 9 o’clock in the evening seemed too early, no matter how you looked at it.

“Just a moment.”

At that moment, a cunning plan crossed my mind. Perhaps Lucia intended for us to lie down together in her bed. However, what Lucia had overlooked was that even if she had a room to herself, the original dormitory rooms were designed as doubles, which meant there were two beds. After all, you couldn’t share the same bed even if you were of the same gender.

“I don’t mind sleeping in the same room, but I’ll sleep in this bed.”

With that, I pointed to the unoccupied bed that Lucia wasn’t using.

hahahaha, she didn’t see that coming, did she? This much was necessary to maintain my dignity…

– Bang!

“…?”

“There’s only one bed now?”

As I tried to move to the remaining bed, Lucia suddenly swung a baseball bat at the bed. She hit it right in the middle, and the bed’s frame bent like a bow.

“Oh, I’ll cover the damages anyway, so don’t worry!”

She must have so much money to spare, just like a rich tycoon. It seemed like she didn’t mind destroying an academy bed or two.

As I scratched my head, still astounded by her wealth and craziness, Lucia looked at me with a sly look in her eyes and added.

“We’ll be destroying one bed each day in our honeymoon anyway, so what’s the big deal about this one?”

“That’s s*xual harassment, Lucia.”

I distanced myself from Lucia, who was making sinister sounds, but she immediately caught up and continued.

“If your pretty wife lovingly takes care of you every day, why the hesitation?”

She pretended to laugh like a rabbit while striking the bed with enthusiasm.

The light punches had left a deep dent in the bed, but it seemed unimportant to her.

“I don’t think families should do such things.”

I tried my best not to make eye contact, but Lucia grabbed my chin, making me meet her gaze, and said with a smile.

“I’m going to have around ten children. Even if they aren’t our own, every day, it’s hot…”

“Please be quiet.”

As it seemed like I might get caught in her pace if we continued like this, I covered her mouth with my hand.

Fortunately, this time, there were no mishaps like her licking my hand.

I watched her in relief and placed the pillow on the floor.

“Lucia, then I’ll sleep on the floor…”

-Thwack!

It was a pretense to sleep on the floor, but Lucia gave the signal without me having to be scared to think.

From the floor where I was going to sleep, something like a bumpy acupressure mat suddenly popped up.

The reason I said it was acupressure mat ‘similar’ to it was that typical acupressure mats have bumpy elements that should be placed for acupressure.

The acupressure mat in front of me was replaced with sharp rocks.

“I can never sleep up there.”

That was my first thought when I saw the acupressure mat.

If I slept there, my body would be pressed firmly, and I would find marks all over my body the next day.

In front was the acupressure mat, behind was Lucia, and the way out was filled with all sorts of spells; it was a real predicament.

“hehehe, there’s no way out, is there? Let’s just sleep together now.”

Looking at me, realizing there was no escape, she smiled triumphantly and dived into the bed, still holding me.

I was annoyed; I shouldn’t have come here in the first place. It was my perfect defeat.

“Jack, look in my direction and sleep…”

Whether she knew my feelings or not, Lucia begged, rubbing her face against my back.

I tried not to turn around, but because Lucia kept tickling my back with her fingers, I had no choice but to turn around.

“Ah, our husband is so handsome…”

Turning around slowly, Lucia wiped my cheek with a smile.

Normally, I would deny it and turn away, but considering the acupressure mat and the preparations she made, I decided to humor her just this once.

…Surely, I won’t be devoured just for doing this?

“Lucia is also incredibly beautiful. There’s no need for a separate goddess.”

It felt so cringeworthy that my hands and feet seemed to wither, but as I endured and looked ahead, there was Lucia, who seemed to have broken down.

She’s always one to say everything and anything, but freezes up when I say a word.

I don’t know how many times she’s spoken today, but there’s something endearing about it.

“Being given someone like this as a wife, I must have been blessed.”

As I pulled Lucia’s head towards my chest, her head made a sound like a clink, directly hitting my chest.

It wasn’t a metaphor, it sounded just like steam escaping from a rice cooker.

It’s completely amazing, how does that even happen?

“Well, in any case, the word ‘wife’ made me a bit nervous, but…”

In the old days, I probably couldn’t have said such a thing at all. Still, I’ve improved a lot.

“T-That’s cheating…”

Continuing to stroke her head, Lucia soon murmured softly in protest.

Tilting my head for a more detailed explanation, Lucia hesitated, about to say something.

As if she couldn’t hold back anymore, she clung to me tightly, using all her limbs.

“You say you dislike it, but suddenly you’re being so kind, it’s totally unfair.”

Saying that, Lucia flipped over and straddled me.

“Now I don’t dislike it anymore, how could I keep disliking someone like this?”

I decided to be a bit more honest to calm her down.

“Uhhh…!!”

Strangely, the opposite effect happened. She covered her face with her hands, squirming, then pressed her face close to mine.

While holding my face like that, she opened her mouth with a voice that seemed to be suppressing some instinct.

“You know… I want to kiss you, can I?”

I hugged her tightly and answered her question with a bright smile.

“Not yet.”

Surely, this kind of response wouldn’t be the right one, would it?
