chapter 6
006. Serena Joheiden (1)
“Zeke, you can stay here.”
“… … .”
‘Is the duke family the imperial family?’
Zeke entered the large room guided by the attendant.
I couldn’t help thinking like that.
‘Damn, I don’t know anything about the romance world… … .’
The room Serena gave him was enough to shock him, who had little memory of luxury.
‘Dark fantasy is homeless, and on Earth, I’ve never left my room.’
Zeke looked around the room.
Clean and luxurious room.
As if insisting on cleanliness, the subtle scent of fabric lingered around.
Beds, tables, sofas, paintings, flower pots… … . Everywhere I looked, there was nothing that was not luxurious.
Compared to the self-contained room I had previously lived on Earth, it was almost ten times wider.
“Nevertheless… … . No phone, no internet, worse food… … . And cigarettes too. Of course, compared to Dave’s continent, it’s heaven, but… … .”
No matter how luxurious the room is, the reality is that it is far behind the earth if you compare it to the level of civilization.
“There’s a swordsmanship instructor… … . Isn’t it a job that requires the use of a knife?”
A deep sigh escaped from within.
Zeke took off his shoes and lay down on the bed.
Fluffy-
Her body was wrapped in a warm blanket.
“How should I go back?”
I couldn’t feel it. In previous games of possession, the purpose was clear.
To attack the Demon King and kill the Demon King, the boss of Jjam.
And after that, the madman who is the Progressives.
The attack is complete if you kill the bastard called ‘The Master’s Bard’.
Of course, the extremely difficult and far-fetched difficulties that he had to overcome with his bare body made him endlessly frustrated, but
At least it was clear what to do.
But in the worldview of Romance?
“Can I make the heroine happy? Is it okay if I help her set up a reverse harem, get rid of the villains who get in the way, and make her a queen?”
Zeke closed his eyes at the pounding head.
“But I don’t even know what the heroine’s name is or what she looks like.”
To be honest, I couldn’t help it even if I blamed my hair.
Because he was the one who ran seven clubs with similar stories at the same time.
Who is who, what is the class system like, and who is the male protagonist?
If you read it with interest, you might not know.
However, Zeke read Romance just to pass the time.
So, even if a term I didn’t know came up, I was busy watching the part where I just skipped over it and joked around.
It is a novel that is not even completed because it is possessed in the middle of following.
‘All I know is that it’s the beginning. And the 2nd Prince… … .’
Even if he tries to refer to the dark fantasy world he was summoned to before
It was already a kingdom at the point of possession, and everything was in a state of disrepair.
“Yes, the girl that the 2nd prince liked, who cuts badly, was the heroine.”
After thinking about it for a while, Zeke opened his eyes.
He remembered why he was possessed.
“If you check who the 2nd prince is stalking, you will naturally find out. Let’s find him first and think about what to do next.”
2 prince. That bastard who uses swordsmanship like that.
I had to find him first.
And in the few fragments of memory, there was a scene where the male lead and the female lead flirted with each other in class.
If so, it must be the same grade.
“But how is this tone really bad?”
It was then.
smart-
I jumped up at the sound of a sudden knock and opened the door.
Zeke’s eyes widened slightly as he checked the person at the door.
“Sorry for coming in late at night.”
“Serena.”
“hehehe. Now you’re calling my name.”
Her silver hair was wet, as if she had just washed, and her cheeks were slightly red.
The delicate scent of flowers crossed the tip of his nose.
“Zeke. Is your room comfortable? Maybe it’s because the house isn’t good, so I’m putting pressure on the instructor. I am a little worried.”
“ah… … . Well. no.”
“Can we talk a little bit?”
Zeke nodded and bit his body slightly, allowing Serena to enter.
Serena slipped into the room and sat down on a chair in front of the table.
‘Is it okay for me to come over this late at night? What?’
Zeke was quite nervous.
I ate and slept with her on the way.
At that time, the situation was also the situation, and I had no feelings or expectations for her at all.
Afterwards, there was a good feeling with the eyes of the judgment and the declaration of lodging, but
There were still remnants of the past.
So what now?
Zeke goes to work at the gymnasium and the mansion she gave her.
I really felt that she was in a high position in this world view.
‘All that many people were nailing their heads.’
see even now
A graceful and graceful gesture.
A calm tone, as if insisting on innate nobility.
Now I’m almost in danger from street mobs
The jjuguri era was nowhere to be found.
‘I’ve already confirmed it with my soul, but seeing that she’s sad even for the woman who betrayed her, her temper is fine.’
I have a bit of a goofy side
The wealthy Ho-gu who treats me well is not Ho-gu, but a good older sister.
Now, only a pretty girl full of leisure and grace was sitting here.
Blue eyes wet as if asking for something.
Zeke’s gaze turned to the slightly exposed breastbone.
‘uh… … ? But what about now?’
It was good to see Serena’s appearance as a temptation.
Clean, smell good, and wear thin slips that show off your figure.
But to visit a man’s bedroom in the middle of the night.
‘Ugh. That Serena… … . Aren’t we still a little early for this?’
Zeke slowly lifted his head and swallowed his saliva, trying to control the anticipation.
What kind of confidence did Ciela’s performance in the trial earlier instill in her?
This… … . Are you okay?
A woman of such a high position?
Zeke Kleiman.
A 10-year veteran of the dark fantasy world.
No experience in conversing with women except for saints.
Although he was tempted a lot thanks to his power,
Every time I get hit in the back of the head
At the critical moment, the saintess intervened and interfered.
– Mister!
oh you’re still a kid go away.
Anyway, a woman who is certain to be a good person sends a signal like this
Zeke could not be calm without any agitation.
‘This romance… … . 19Was it possible to convert gold?’
Zeke waited for Serena’s mouth to open.
Then, as if she had made up her mind on something, she opened her mouth.
“… … Zeke-nim, when are you planning to go to the academy?”
However, her words were different from what was expected.
Zeke’s mood plummeted in an instant.
‘… … Oh, you’ve come to chase me. What, get the money quickly and leave? A suspicious bastard like you can’t come with us?’
He raised one eyebrow.
‘Ha, yes, even if you have a good temper… … . That means, in a way, it’s easy to be swayed by the words around you.’
Because it was Zeke who moved his heart to believe in her even a little bit
This disappointment was even more damaging.
Of course, I didn’t think that a woman with such a pure soul would lead this.
Perhaps others in the family had cheated on it.
And he must have sent her into the room to say it himself.
Aren’t you still looking at Zeke as if you’re sorry for something?
Zeke recalled his deep remorse for humans.
I was drinking kimchi soup with a bowl by myself, so I tried to boil the stew, but I felt like I was dying for no reason.
I couldn’t help but feel betrayed.
yes i know When you go to the bathroom, the attitude that comes out is different is that you are a human being.
‘Somehow I can’t get things off easily. damn it therefore… … . Please listen when I say no.’
If he hadn’t accepted her offer from the start, he wouldn’t have felt betrayed.
Zeke, who had been through something in the dark fantasy world, couldn’t help but think like this.
As we saw earlier, she is actually a princess from a great family.
Perhaps you cannot decide the big and small things, such as bringing someone into the mansion and letting them stay.
The rest of the family hates unidentified humans like herself.
It must have been thought that it was dangerous to bring it into the house.
It was his fault for rushing to confirm the answer to her confident tone.
Zeke, who was stamped on the starter pack he believed in, spoke coldly.
“Okay, let’s get there as quickly as possible.”
“affection… . I can’t help it if you’re in a hurry… . Personally, a little bit of common sense… . Oh no, should I say common sense… . Basic knowledge No, it is better to listen to a little bit of information… I thought it would be good.”
“?”
Princess Serena chose her words to avoid offending Sieg as much as possible.
Zeke didn’t understand what that meant at first.
“Geez, Sieg-sama is a duke… … . Mmm. Do you know how many ducal families there are in the Empire?”
“I do not know.”
“Three. Joheiden, Justia, and the Ira family in the north. You know the North, right?”
“… … .”
“So… … . Acquiring some knowledge here will help you in your future academy life.”
after a brief silence
Zeke felt a halo descend from Serena’s back.
The thing I lack the most right now is common sense and knowledge about the romance world.
It was a car that I was worried about because of that.
But what Serena said would fill it!
‘I, what the hell am I misunderstanding… … .’
Zeke looked at her with a blank face.
The only thing he still couldn’t believe was himself.
A mixture of sorry for the misunderstanding and gratitude for the misunderstanding, and thanks to Serena spread slowly from his heart.
‘Could Serena be an angel… … ? No, you shouldn’t compare it to those pigeons. Excuse me Serena.’
Contrary to Zeke’s inner thoughts, the words that came out of his mouth were short answers.
“Um, please.”
“Yes, I will set up a training schedule starting tomorrow.”
“yes.”
Zeke suddenly went to the window and closed it open for ventilation.
“Whoops. You’re welcome. There were a lot of excuses in the middle of the night. good night.”
Seeing that, Serena greeted Zeke, probably thinking that he was preparing well.
“Well… . You are going.”
“Yes. See you tomorrow.”
Serena said that and left Zeke’s room.
“Well… … . gone really.”
That night.
After Serena leaves, Zeke looks out the window
In the depths of my heart, I engraved the letters in an ancient script.
As of today, I withdraw my support for Serena Joheiden.
Get out of your support relationship from today
Serena and I become one body.
An attack on Serena is an attack on me
consider
Still, Zeke wonders if Serena will come back.
He glanced at the door for a moment.
“After all, you’re not coming… … .”
* * *
an hour ago
Right after he ordered the goblins to deal with the traitors who abandoned him.
Serena had taken on a lot of weight that didn’t suit her. My heart and body are tired.
In addition, the fatigue of the trip in the meantime could not be ignored.
‘Ciella was really that kind of person… … .’
Tears flowed from my eyes.
The time accumulated for a long time was never light and stabbed her heart mercilessly.
‘How can that be? People… … .’
“Serena is here.”
The maid standing behind handed her a handkerchief.
Serena decided not to have an exclusive lady-in-waiting any longer.
Instead, he asked the butler for the most sincere and flawless maid.
At least, I thought that if the difference in social status was so far out of reach, it would be difficult to have a different mind.
“Ailee.”
“Yeah.”
“I… … . I hope you don’t betray me.”
“Yeah. It will.”
“So don’t plant any doubts in me.”
“all right.”
Ailee was quick-witted and could guess how Serena was feeling.
‘He’s such a nice person… … .’
Would it have been better to report on Ciela’s atrocities in advance?
No, even if he had been honest, Serena must have blindly trusted Ciella at that time.
‘He’s too soft on people.’
“Sir, Serena. You’d better wash yourself first.”
“Okay, help me.”
“Yes, I will have the attending physician on standby according to the time you leave.”
“yes.”
While washing Serena’s body, Ailee thought of a way to make her feel better.
It reminded me of a man with a hard expression that I had seen earlier.
“That was really great.”
“yes… … ?”
Lying in the bathtub, Serena’s head was complicated by Ciela’s matter.
I raised my head at Ailee’s words.
“Sir Zeke Kleiman. How did you dig that way, like penetrating a person’s heart? Honestly, I would have been suspicious of Charles if it wasn’t for him. Of course, I’m not saying that Charles did well.”
Charles was the name of the bald man.
Serena nodded in agreement.
“Yeah, that’s what I mean. Your intuition was very sharp.”
“Yes, I was really surprised. It’s rare that everyone nods in agreement like that in a trial.”
“Um… … . But common sense is a bit lacking… … .”
At that, Ailee put on a surprised expression.
“Is that so?”
“Yeah, maybe it’s because he’s a swordsman, so he doesn’t seem interested in worldly affairs.”
Serena suddenly felt worried.
Ramieli Academy is the greatest academy in the Empire as it bears the name of the Imperial Capital.
It is a place where countless nobles, royalty, and children of powerful people gather.
But what if Zeke Kleiman-sama went on to become a swordsmanship instructor?
Of course, there is an excuse that they are northern nobles, but their ignorance and insults to Zeke were a recording crystal ball.
‘Of course, looking at today’s work, I don’t think the instructor is the kind of person to be swayed by the words of such fools… … .’
The fact that I was paying for saving my life with money was a car that bothered me.
Wasn’t there another debt that was added to it?
Serena was delighted that she had something left to do for him.
“It’s just! I’m a little worried and I’m just trying to help!”
“Yeah?”
“Oh, nothing.”
After washing her body clean, Serena was treated by her doctor.
The attending physician, who was examining the wound, said with a surprised face.
“Fortunately, I don’t think there will be any scarring. The person who took care of the wound seems to be very skilled.”
Serena nodded at the doctor’s words.
I imagined Zeke washing the cloth like new at dawn every day and carefully tending to her injuries lest she wake up.
It was a blunt face, but it must have been a delicate and kind hand.
Serena felt a warm feeling spread through her heart.
To be honest, it wasn’t even my job before, but didn’t you voluntarily come out and fix things right?
If it wasn’t for him, he could have forgiven Ciella and kept her as his exclusive handmaid without knowing anything.

My mood sank as I thought of Ciela again, but I recovered when I thought of Zeke’s consideration.
‘As expected, someone who is warm even though he can’t express himself… … . He also seems to be good at managing injuries.’
As Serena grows more grateful for Zeke
I wanted to tell you as soon as possible what I was going to say tomorrow.
“Ailee.”
“Yeah.”
“Are you good at makeup?”
“It is professional.”
Ailee nodded with a confident face.
“Ugh… … . Is there any makeup that doesn’t show that it’s been put on, but it’s not even a bare face?”
“Are you talking about makeup that looks like it’s been decorated or not? Up to pattern number 4 is now ready. Number 5 is still in development.”
“And the lavender perfume. Let’s sprinkle it lightly.”
