Chapter 34



“By the way, a little while ago, you ran quickly after a woman. What’s wrong? ”

“Oh, no… She didn’t look good, so I followed her as I was worried.”

“Why did you desperately chase the woman who didn’t look good?”

Dylan, thinking he was now rebuking him with that question, was at a loss for words.

“Well, the lady wanted to avoid me, so I wanted to clear the air…”

Although Dylan thought his reply was lame, he couldn’t find any good excuse because he himself did not know why he followed her desperately. Maybe the woman’s fluttering brown hair and her slender shoulders, and her back, which seemed so attractive that he couldn’t take his eyes off of her, reminded him of a woman he used to know. In fact, the woman he was chasing in vain a moment ago strongly made him think of the woman he once loved…

Olivia Hazlet.

She was his old lover, long lost to him.

“Sir Lennox, you have not yet mastered the etiquette as an imperial knight. When reporting something, you should not confuse your words. ”

“Yes, I will correct it, sir.”

As Lard pointed out his way of speaking, Dylan straightened his back and responded immediately.

“So, did you meet the woman and cleared the air? ”

“I couldn’t find her.”

“Really? I heard the sound of a door opening and closing.”

“I went to the room, hearing someone moving in there, but she was not there. Perhaps I think I was mistaken. ”

“How do you not know the woman’s whereabouts as you have desperately chased her?”

“…I don’t know, sir.”

Dylan bowed with a shameful expression. It was a shame that as a knight, he followed her carelessly, and it was more shameful as he didn’t know her whereabouts.

“I see. Sir Lennox, just return to your station. ”

“… yes, will do, sir. ”

Dylan bowed to him, and looked back around the corner before leaving reluctantly.

Staring at his back for a while, Lard quickly moved on.

As he turned the corner, there was a door right next to it. He touched the doorknob without any doubt. He heard its clicking when he rotated it with his wrist.

When he came in, the sound of the leaves rustling in the room first came into his view.

Lard quickly turned his head toward the source of the sound, rather than striding into the room. The green leaves were shaking as the woman moved.

“Wendy…?”

The rustling sound of the leaves stopped. The thin stalks hung on her fingertips moved slightly, neither of them paid attention to it.

“How come you are here? …”

Wendy, who was busy removing the leaves from her body, slowly raised her head at his calling. His gray eyes met the woman’s green eyes. She blinked her eyes as her face turned white. Looking at her, he was speechless for a while.

“…Sir Schroder. ”

She opened her mouth reluctantly. Her eyes glared at him as if she was up against an incredible reality. She couldn’t think of any good idea of stopping the man who walked into the room right now.

“Oops! How did you get here? Please hold on! Please just stand there for a minute.”

As she said, he stopped obediently, which went against the grain. As she didn’t do anything even when he stood for a while, he again began to step towards her.

“No, please stand there!”

Wendy, who had been rolling her eyes as she was so embarrassed, shouted hysterically at the man who was walking toward her.

‘Why is this damn imperial knight suddenly appearing to drive me nuts?’

Falling into despair at the moment, she said, “No, I think you had better leave instead of standing over there. As you can see, I’m in a difficult situation at the moment, so just pretend not to know and leave!”

“Wendy…What the hell is going on here? I need to know your situation first before I leave. Don’t you think so?”

Lard felt sorry for her because she didn’t look good.

“…You see that I’m surrounded by ivy. I have nothing else to explain. ”

She spoke feebly rather than shouting at him.

She swallowed though her mouth was dry. She felt the cold sweat on her back drip down her spine. She felt as if her body would turn into a bucket of water and pour down on the carpet. That would be the best solution, she thought to herself.

“What I mean is why are you surrounded by ivy? You aren’t just surrounded. It looks like you wrapped your body with it on purpose…”

Lard spoke as if he was frustrated. He observed her for a moment, but there was no sign that she had been harassed. Who would use ivy to suppress a woman? Nevertheless, Lard was constantly looking at her face and body because he couldn’t find any reason to explain her current posture.

“That’s because … ”

She recalled all kinds of excuses she could make at the moment, such as her just pretending to be crazy, or being bewitched by a ghost, or being dragged by as an unidentified assailant into the room. But there was no chance that Lard could believe her.

“…I was just looking atit because the ivy was growing so beautiful here. You know my job, it is my hobby, too. ”

“… With the ivy wrapped around you? ”

“Yes! Feeling plants directly with my skin is the only way I check them! Do I have to explain it to you in detail”

He frowned at once when she retorted sharply.

“…Well, if you insist, you may be right… By the way, did you see the knight who just entered this room? ”

She suddenly breathed in as he asked a question with a suspicious expression.

She was so nervous about how much he knew the situation.

“Why are you asking?”

She trembled nervously like leaves of the dark blue ivy.

“I saw an imperial knight following you… I felt he opened and closed the door here. Didn’t you see him? ”

At that short moment, she was conflicted.

‘How nice it would be if someone made a plausible excuse for me!’

But it was her wishful thinking that could never be realized.

She quickly put her brain to work, pondering over the best possible answer.

“In fact…”

She swallowed dry saliva.

‘Yes, this is the only answer I can give him!’

She decided to give him a reply mixed with truth and lie, and began to speak carefully, while moistening her lips with her tongue, “I was so scared as he kept following me…I met a nobleman who treated a commoner woman very poorly…I think I was overly worried about him. Come to think of it, I didn’t need to. I think I was overreacting because I was too nervous on my way here…so I behaved in a funny way like this, wrapping this ivy around my body…”

Although she felt her pride was offended when she described her actions as funny, she felt she couldn’t find a more reasonable excuse in the current circumstances. It would be tens of times easier for Lard to dig up the previous situation than for her to remove the ivy from her body.

She couldn’t afford to cause any further trouble that could lead him to find out her relationship with Dylan as well as her original social status.

“Got it. That makes sense. It seems both of you seemed to have misunderstood each other.

A little while ago I heard the knight saying that he followed you because you didn’t look good.”

Of course, Lard did not fully trust her but decided to pretend not to know.

But she was upset about what he said because she felt he was questioning her after he already talked with that knight. Her eyebrows turned up sharply.

“…Are you uncomfortable like he said? ” Lard asked, coming closer to her.

He seemed to be genuinely concerned about her condition.

“No, it’s fine! Sir Schroder, could you please go outside if all your questions are answered? I’m…I’m very fine! Would you leave as you satisfied your curiosity? I will return to the concert after I have removed all the vine.”

As she solved the urgent problem before her eyes, she tried every way to get him out of the room. She could feel relaxed as he didn’t make any further effort to question her, although he didn’t seem to believe her completely. Now, all she had to do was to clean up the vine around her body.

“Let me help you, as you barely can move alone.”

After looking up and down over her body, he began to tear off the vine on her hair without her approval.

“Oh my god! What are you doing?”

She shook violently, but she couldn’t push him away.

“Let me just remove the vine until you can move comfortably.”

Ignoring her refusal of his help, he broke the vine from around her.
