The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

19 – I will do it

After Shien received a bouquet of flowers and a letter that she thought was a date request, she waited endlessly for a call from Dern.

… I don’t know if it’s because I’m busy or if there’s some other reason.

Even after several days had passed, she had not even come to visit, nor had she even contacted me, so she was quite depressed.

‘So, at first, I thought I would go out and find Sir Dern myself.’

The maid said that men feel burdened by women who are overly obsessed.

She just waited anxiously day after day, pressing down on what she wanted to find.

She thought ‘her waiting was familiar, but…’ Strangely enough, this wait is hard to wait for.’

Why?

Waiting is a basic skill of a knight, and she was more confident than anyone else because she had been doing it for a long time.

She was pacing around her gym thinking she didn’t know why she was feeling so upset, but this was too much for her to bear anymore so she asked the maid for advice.

“… Yes? “You still haven’t heard from me?”

When the maid heard that she had not yet been contacted, her expression hardened ambiguously and she looked at herself. She

Soon she becomes troubled and she talks to herself.

“No matter what, it is normal for it to arrive within 3 days. I guess I was mistaken… “

The maid seemed to have remembered something and she was trying to say something to her.

She soon changed her words by urgently hitting her mouth.

“No, no, not this. Ugh… ! Miss Shien, why don’t we try changing our strategy?”

“Operation… ?”

“Yes, yes. For now, let’s forget everything I said last time and start anew!”

I didn’t know why they wanted to start over.

I thought it would be better to listen to an experienced person for now, so I nodded my head sullenly.

The maid smiles awkwardly as she talks to herself.

“Ah, just in case, I’ll wait a little longer to hear from you. If you still don’t hear back, I’ll change my strategy to visiting them in person.”

Didn’t she say last time that obsessive women are unattractive, so she shouldn’t do that?

She was surprised by the sudden change in her words.

She had something more important to ask right now, so she shook it off and opened her mouth.

“… That.”

“Yes?”

“Can you tell me how long I should wait… ? “It’s hard to wait because I feel like my heart is getting tighter every day.”

“… Uh, that’s it.”

The maid thought about those words again and, unlike usual, came to her conclusion a little later.

“Ha, a day? Two days? “Wouldn’t it be okay to just wait?”

“… Day.”

“It could be two days, but should I say one day?”

As she nodded vigorously, the maid smiled awkwardly and continued her story.

“Then I think it would be better to calm down and take care of it first. “You can’t show Master Dern looking so down like this, right?”

Of course, my emotions have been so fluctuating lately that I haven’t been able to sleep well.

She reflected for a moment while looking at her hair, which had become somewhat dull, and then quickly closed her eyes, asking the maid to take care of her.

I decided to wait for about a day and was taking care of my duties as student council president and training as a knight.

I was able to hear a story from the clerk.

“Hey, student council president…. “Did you hear what happened in the auditorium today?”

She answered with a puzzled expression as he asked the question in an unusually cautious tone.

“I think I heard someone said they were cheating and they were verifying it. “I don’t know much more than that.”

If it were normal, I would have intervened as soon as I heard about such a problem.

Not only did I not have time to relax because I was extremely upset because I did not hear from Dern, but I also became depressed.

I had no time to worry about such things, so I completely forgot about them.

Then I looked at the clerk with concern, wondering what had happened.

The secretary looked for a moment to see if it was okay to say this, then slowly opened his mouth.

“That… There was an incident that happened in the auditorium. There is a rumor that the person pointed out is the fiancé of the student council president… Did you hear?”

When I heard the word ‘fiance’, my whole body and mind instantly froze.

Something completely unexpected came out.

“Are you sure you mean Lord Dern?”

The clerk begins to nod his head in response to his question.

The moment you see this,

I blinked several times while looking at the clerk nodding, but then quickly got up and tried to find Dern.

“… Oh no! “Please at least finish this matter and go!”

The clerk stuck to me and wouldn’t let me go, so I had no choice but to sit back down.

“I’m really sorry. I really want to send it to you, but the deadline is today… “

“…… “

I know. Because he was the one in charge in the first place.

So, calming down my restless body that was constantly shaking, I sat down and glared at the documents in front of me as if I was forcing them down.

In any case, it was impossible to get caught up in one’s personal emotions and ruin the work.

‘So, if this is over… ‘

She steeled her resolve and decided to not hold back any longer and go over to check on his well-being.

What I thought would end in the evening took longer than expected and lasted until dawn.

It was an awkward time to go to Dern’s house in person.

If you think rationally, it would have been right to rest at home and meet after going to school.

I have already endured as much as I can.

I couldn’t bear it anymore, so I headed in front of Dern’s house as if I was possessed.

“…… “

The moment I arrived in front of the house, my rational mind, which had become dull and could not function properly, finally returned to my mind.

“Ah.”

What on earth is he doing?

As soon as I came to my senses, I tried to quickly return home, suffering from doubt and guilt.

A ‘bung bong’ sound is heard from far away.

It seems like it was made by a person, as the sound is extremely awkward to say it was a dog barking.

I couldn’t figure out why people were making such noises so early in the morning, so I slowly approached the place.

From noble mtl dot com

An unbelievable sight unfolded before my eyes.

‘… ‘Lord Dern?’

She is a woman who is running as if she is running away, wearing a dairn and a robe.

I was strangely moved by a scene that seemed suspicious to anyone, so I brought out my true feelings.

“… I have come to you because I would like to share her story with Lord Dern, but you have a guest. Also, a customer who meets at dawn and makes dog noises.”

I didn’t come here to say this, so why am I saying this?

I feel so stupid that I want to slap my hand over my mouth right now.

Dern talks to himself with an expressionless face.

“What’s going on so early in the morning?”

What’s going on? Of course, it’s not to talk about the date and check on your well-being, right?

I was taken aback by Dern’s extremely cold words, and I was so saddened by those words that I said something I would not have said before.

“… Lord Dern. “I am your fiancé.”

At those words, Dern looked at her unimpressed and crossed her arms as if wondering what was going on.

It’s obviously nothing special, but I don’t know why I feel sad about each and every action.

She pressed her heart with her trembling hands and expressed her honest feelings.

“Every time Lord Dern is so cold to me, here… “It hurts terribly.”

I don’t know if I brought this up because I was nervous for several days or because I was tired from working until dawn.

One thing was certain: from that day on, it was a feeling she continued to feel every time Dern behaved harshly toward her.

‘Originally, I wouldn’t have told you because I didn’t want to burden you.’

Seeing Lord Dern staying with the fussy girl until dawn, she thinks she can’t stand it any longer.

She spoke one by one, as if she was taking this opportunity to shake off everything she had accumulated.

“I was able to withstand the difficult and arduous training as a knight, and even the pressure of a family that was extremely burdensome. Every time Lord Dern comes out like that. Because it hurts and hurts. “It’s so hard to hold on.”

Strangely, it feels like tears come out every time she speaks.

But as a knight, she couldn’t shed tears, so she held it back and told the story she wanted to tell for the last time.

“… So, Lord Dern. Just once, just once… Could you please look back at me? If you give her just one chance, she will bark like the woman we saw earlier, and if you ask her to kneel, she will kneel. “Please, please, just this once.”

Dern thought about those words for a moment.

She slowly looks into her face and speaks.

“Let’s do it.”

“… Yes?”

“I said I would do that.”

She couldn’t believe Dern’s answer and she just looked at her Dern with a stupid expression.

He grabbed her wrist and slowly began to lead her into the mansion.

* * * * *

I couldn’t hide my embarrassment as I saw Shien trying to cry right in front of me.

This is because I couldn’t figure out why he was doing this when he wasn’t this kind of character to begin with.

‘Wasn’t he originally a rational and resolute character?’

But looking at his actions now, it seems like the complete opposite of that.

I sighed as I looked at Shien, who looked like she was going to burst into tears at any moment, and decided to go inside the mansion and try to calm her down first.

‘After all, there are many eyes looking outside.’

Whether it was carriages or people, they were slowly appearing one by one.

It was clear that if things continued like this, quite troubling rumors would spread, so I had no choice but to take Shien home with me.

As soon as I took him inside the house, Shien spoke to me with a face that somehow managed to hold back tears.

“Please take care of me in the future…. “If you tell it to bark, it will bark, so you can tell Lord Dern to bark whenever he wants.”

“….… “

That damn dog.

I let out a long sigh, thinking that the sound of “Dog-meong” Was following me around all day.
