The Heroine Who Was Taken Away by the Main Character Becomes Obsessed With Me After Returning

smart-

Duke Reinhardt. housekeeper’s office.

As I quietly knocked on the door there, I felt a small presence inside.

Feeling that, I opened my mouth.

“My lord. I have something to tell you.”

“Come in.”

Sigh.

As I carefully opened the door and entered, the man in the center of the office caught my eye.

The head of the Reinhard family.

Aion de Reinhardt.

A lofty and dignified ethos.

It was like having a beast like a lion in front of me.

“okay. What happened?”

The gaze of the red-haired lion turns to me.

A cold and stubborn gaze, as if piercing through each part of the private parts.

It wasn’t just a sense of intimidation as the family head, but also the presence of a perfect swordsman.

Sword Master.

At the same time, the Empire’s strongest sword.

Because it was Aion.

The pressure was so strong that everyone shrank.

I paused for a while in that gaze, but I cut off the rush.

“I have an engagement made through an arranged marriage.”

“Are you talking about the engagement with the lady of the Rayhorton family?”

“yes.”

Aion frowned, as if he had no idea what the hell I was trying to say.

I wonder if I, an idiot, wanted to bring up another strange story.

what. Looking at it objectively, it’s a strange story.

Are you saying you want to break off your engagement to Elena?

“I want to break off that engagement.”

“her?”

Aion’s eyebrows frown and curl up together.

Predict.

… … The time when the fire command to stop talking nonsense is issued.

you have to cut it off now

“I know this is going to sound like bullsh*t again. However, please listen to the end this time. Please.”

Are you surprised by my serious attitude?

Aion, who had calmed down his emotions as much as possible, asked with his eyebrows wriggling.

“… … okay. tell me What is the reason?”

reason, reason

Because you’re my ex-girlfriend?

We’ll be lovers in the future, will I rebel after I’m dumped?

These are the reasons why it would be good if you didn’t listen to all the crazy people.

Besides, at this point, I would have been a perfect stranger who had never even seen Elena’s face.

That’s why, I put in my mouth the excuse I had prepared.

“I’m afraid to tell you, but… … I have a woman I adore.”

“Heh, heh heh. A woman in love?”

The response is better than expected.

Even though I have someone I like, I was wondering what to do if there was a response saying, “What should I do?”

It must have been more crazy than expected.

I was the only one who praised Cale for his previous behavior, which was like a madman, and I looked at Aion while keeping my face as much as possible.

“You said that you have a woman you love, are you serious?”

“yes.”

Of course it was a lie.

Aion looked into my eyes as if thinking for a moment and said.

“A woman of longing… … okay. If you have a woman you love, it will be inconvenient to continue your engagement.”

“… … Are you saying that?”

“It was just a light strategic engagement anyway, so let’s try contacting the count’s family.”

“thank you.”

surely.

Having a woman he liked was a good reason to ask for a breakup.

If Elena and I were in a deep relationship, I would have told her to reconsider.

It’s only now that we haven’t even seen each other’s faces.

It would be okay to break up a mere engagement.

“and… … I have one more thing to tell you.”

Oh right. and.

I thought of more things to say belatedly, so I cut off my haste.

No matter how much I thought about it, I wasn’t going to say something to the person who looked at me with an expression of wondering if my son had grown up now… … .

If you don’t prepare now, you might be late.

“What do you mean?”

“yes. that… … Please give me some money.”

“… … what?”

what you have to say anyway.

Aion’s gaze was stinging, but I added one more word as I decided to go out with a steel plate.

“A little too much.”

You’re screwed anyway

How about putting a little more iron on it?

Mmm. I am kale. feed me no, give me the money

* * *

The son came to visit him.

When he realized that fact, Aion felt a surprising feeling for the first time in a while.

It is very rare for Cale to come to the office. no… … Because in the past ten years, it hadn’t happened at all.

Cale was obviously embarrassed by himself.

That’s why I didn’t want to have a long conversation with myself.

Even if they did have a conversation, most of them ended as short as a few words.

I thought something was strange since breakfast.

How can you even come to the office?

What Aion felt about that fact was rather close to anxiety.

‘Again, what kind of accident did you have?’

He was the one who didn’t rely on himself that much.

If that kind of guy finds himself.

Isn’t it a story that Cale did something he couldn’t handle himself?

With that in mind, I looked at the guy who entered the room, but I laughed at his confident attitude.

A confident attitude as if he had done nothing wrong.

Swordmaster-level intimidation is not something that can be overcome with a simple mindset.

At least, it was clear that he was practicing swordsmanship rather than thinking.

No matter what I’ve done, maybe you’ll look at it for a little bit.

Thinking so, Aion looked at him as if to say something, and Cale opened his mouth.

“I have an engagement made through an arranged marriage.”

“You mean an engagement to a girl from the Rayhortons?”

“yes.”

The eldest daughter of Countess Rayholton.

Elena de Reyholton.

From a young age, she was famous for her beautiful appearance, and now that her beautiful appearance is in full bloom, she was even nicknamed the flower of society.

There were no girls among the emperor’s children.

Within the current empire, a body that can be said to be the most expensive woman.

When the name came out of his son’s mouth, Aion’s eyebrows twitched.

At least, I thought it was fortunate that I didn’t pay attention to women’s colors.

Could it be that this foolish bastard is trying to turn his eyes to women as well?

Then no.

No matter how much it is a political marriage, it is close to a light political marriage.

At least until after the wedding, he was not allowed to touch the woman’s body.

Could it be that you have already reached out?

Aion had even made that worst assumption, but the answer that came back was futile.

“I want to break off that engagement.”

“her?”

Of course, Aion, who was about to shoot him, stopped when he saw Cale’s eyes.

It’s not the usual crazy eyes.

His gaze was so serious that he wondered if he was the same person as Cale.

It didn’t sound like a simple stroke.

After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth.

“… … okay. tell me What is the reason?”

I didn’t think there would be a plausible reason, so I was asking a question.

What came back was an answer that appealed to emotions more than I thought.

“I’m careful to tell you, but I have a woman I’m in love with.”

“Heh, heh heh. A woman in love?”

Aion, who was looking indifferently into his son’s eyes, burst out laughing.

It wasn’t for any other reason, that I had someone I fell in love with.

At least, words I never thought would come out of my son’s mouth in my whole life.

That man was like a maniac.

You are a woman who is in love

indeed.

Did they say that people change when they fall in love?

There was a reason why his son suddenly became fine.

okay. It would be hundreds of times better than being a madman even worse than now.

Aion, imagining Cale becoming more of an idiot than she is now, trembled as if she were shuddering just thinking about it.

I thought that if it was simply love, it would not be necessary to cancel the engagement, but after thinking about it for a while, Aion changed his mind.

You seem to have come to your senses now.

Suddenly, he said he couldn’t cancel the engagement, but he saw a future where he would become an even more insane person.

that… … It was terrible.

“You said that you have a woman you love, are you serious?”

“yes.”

Aion looked at Cale’s nodded face.

There were so many emotions in those expressions that it was hard to believe that he was his son… … .

At least it didn’t look like he was lying.

Maybe that was just a fleeting whim.

Please let that whim last long.

He just hoped that the nameless woman would make Cale look good.

Lately, the accidents he’s been doing have gotten bigger and bigger, to the point where it’s becoming more and more troublesome for him to deal with them.

“A woman of longing… … okay. If you have a woman you love, it will be inconvenient to continue your engagement.”

“… … Are you saying that?”

“It was just a light strategic engagement anyway, so let’s try contacting the count’s family.”

“thank you.”

flinch.

The words “thank you” came out of Cale’s mouth.

It was a word I was not used to, so he said as I was cleaning up the goose bumps on my arm.

“and… … I have one more thing to tell you.”

“What do you mean?”

okay. This was not the attitude he would show to his son, who seemed to have come to his senses.

If you come to your senses, as a father, I should congratulate you.

With that thought in mind, when we met Cale’s eyes, he looked away and said.

“yes. that… … Please give me some money.”

“… … what?”

Did you hear me wrong?

no way. did you hear that wrong?

Thinking so, Aion looked at Cale, but perhaps he decided to lay the iron plate at all, his son with a confident expression spat out.

“A little too much.”

her.

Huh… … .

That moment.

Aion realized that even a sword master could collapse if his blood pressure rose.

Aion, who had a detached expression, asked.

“Some extent. Where did you plan to use it?”

“hmm… … . Moderately, ten million gold? Think of it as your son’s love business.”

then.

Cale bowed his head and walked out of the office with a quick stride before Aion could even get angry.

If only Cale, who was like an idiot from before, was afraid of himself and was busy running away.

Now, he has become a guy who is busy extorting money with a steel plate on his face.

“Huh, 10 million gold for love business… … What, are you trying to seduce a dragon?”

Is this really a positive change?

… … right?

okay. Wouldn’t it be better than committing a job and getting bills worth 10 million gold?

While Aion was laughing for a while while working, the butler, who had been quietly eavesdropping on the story, spoke.

“still. You seem to like it quite a bit.”

A butler who has served the Reinhardt family all his life, and a close friend of Aion.

Chief Albert.

After hearing his words, Aion asked back in a gruff tone.

“Does it look like that?”

“yes. If you really didn’t like it, wouldn’t you have run out of the office with a gun and run away or not and caught it?”

the following article.

If his son had truly changed, would ten million gold be a big deal?

10 million gold.

It’s obviously not objectively a small amount of money, but even so, it wasn’t so much money that Duke Reinhardt felt burdened.

I just wished.

If there was truly an unknown woman who changed Cale.

I hope that change is a positive change.
