A Deal With The Frigid Wizard

Chapter 47

For the past three days, it was the calm before the great storm of Hisran’s desires struck.

For the rest of the vacation, Jaeha could not get out of the swamp of muddy pleasure. By the time the vacation was over, she looked tired, as if she had gone to a part-time job somewhere far away.

On the other hand, Hisran looked as good as someone who had eaten and played well at the resort. This made her suspicious that Hisran had deliberately hidden adult items in the study and aroused her curiosity.

Anyway, Jaeha realized two things through this incident.

First, her hands were far more capable of erecting Hisran’s stuff than all kinds of adult items. And second, she would lose if she tried to bully him in this way.

It was a winter vacation in bed, from start to finish.

* * *

More than a year has passed since Jaeha, and Hisran became lovers. To her, he was her first lover, and the love affair with him was her first love affair. However, she knew that he was no ordinary man, and that she knew that his relationships would be out of the ordinary.

His appearance, background, and abilities were so good that he could be called a perfect man, and he acted as if he was going to give his heart and soul. So, perhaps, he was a fool for everyone…?

…Maybe not.

Excluding the wizards of the red tower, Hisran was known for various notorieties, such as ‘human disaster’ and ‘tyrant of fire.’ In a word, he was a man who could be somewhat generous and kind to his family, his lover, the wizard of the red tower, or to the weak, but if not, he was a selfish tyrant.

Cold for others, warm for his woman… wasn’t that the ideal type that many women desire…? The love affair with Hisran gave her the feeling of winning the lottery.

She was afraid as much as she felt better.

So, as a last resort to protect her heart and future, Jaeha put forward the condition that ‘marriage is possible after three years of dating’ to him. It was often said that the expiration date of love is two years, so if they stayed for three years as a lover, she could understand the character of this person to some extent.

She promised herself that she would keep this period. But, she was moved by Hisran’s appearance before the Tower master’s meeting, and she shaved off ten months, but now, a year after she became his lover, it was almost half of the promised time.

Jaeha felt a sense of crisis rather.

In the future, she would not shorten the remaining period, and she would carefully watch him and take time to reflect on her responsibilities.

Even after making that decision, Hisran was still smooth and kind to her and was the perfect lover. Oh, except that he loved to play in bed, and he had a lot more energy than back then.

‘This is troubling. It looks like he’s completely tainted me this way.’

Knowing the pleasure of s*x, she often felt unfamiliar with herself that was trying to caress him, but it was because she was pampered every time she did. Even though it was only for that moment that she was embarrassed, it did not lead to serious concern about her, who seemed to have turned into a woman who always revealed herself.

Hisran was a bit mischievous, but Jaeha really liked him, who was kind and caring.

Although she couldn’t show much of her feelings for him because of her unfriendly personality. About a year later, if she received a proposal from this man, it seemed that she would happily accept it with a fluttering heart.

When Jaeha had her mind cleared up, he brought up the story of visiting Marquisate Ephesion as if he had peered into her. His parents, Marquis and Marchioness Ephesion, wanted to meet her.

“…Do I have to see them?”

“You don’t have to worry. It’s because they are curious about the fact that their son is dating a woman for the first time in his life.”

Whether it was Korea or the Latio continent, parents who had children would feel the same way. So, she felt burdened by meeting the Marquis Ephesion couple.

For Jaeha, Hisran usually seemed like a pervert, but when looking from an objective point of view, no matter how, he was a groom with one of the best conditions in this empire—no, this continent.

As a result of digging up information from the wizards of the red tower, who were a bit weak in speaking skills because they were locked up in the tower and immersed in magic research and training, Jaeha finds that a considerable amount of proposals were sent to Marquisate Ephesion before she met Hisran.

She was able to find out the facts like spilled books.

They seemed to have tried once, not only from the noble families of the Kainus Empire, but also from the noble families of other kingdoms and empires.

She had to admit it. Hisran was a handsome man who was coveted by the Royal Family and the Imperial Family. Because he had a good background, good-looking, young, and had excellent magic skills to play an active role as the tower master.

So, from the point of view of his parents, they wanted their handsome son to bring a woman of the same level as him to be his lover or marriage partner.

When Jaeha looked at herself objectively, she knew what she was like.

‘…A suspicious foreigner, an orphan, and a broke person.’

Wasn’t this a condition that only be allowed to a child hated by their parents and have no affection for…?

‘If there is an advantage… Thanks to his unusual constitution, I was able to make Hisran’s object stand up and can welcome the heir?’

Since this was a society where there was clearly a class, they might think of herself as a candidate for a surrogate mother or concubine.

‘Though I’m a greedy person, so it’s impossible to share a man with another woman.’

When in Rome, follow the Romes—but there were bound to be laws that were difficult to follow even if a sword was put in her throat.

Jaeha’s brow furrowed as she thought about it up to that point.

“What are you thinking about that you made such a face?”

Hisran asked, stretching Jaeha’s forehead with his fine fingers.

“I was thinking like a parent who had a son like you.”

“Hmm, was that so?”

“They won’t like me.”

“What? You…?”

“Well, it’s not that your parents are bad, but if you’re human, it’s a natural reaction. Everyone hates losing investment.”

Hisran, who stared at her for a moment, slammed his forehead into hers. At that, the corners of her eyebrows rose slightly upwards.

“What are you doing?”

“It’s a light punishment. Who told you you’re a lost investment.”

“No, did you understand it?”

You learned what you were exposed to. So, the smart wizard, Hisran, who was incomparably smarter than most people, had understood more than half of Jaeha’s frequently used Korean expressions and jokes after more than a year of dating her.

“Don’t say that, because I am sad because I love you.”

Uh, she wondered how she met a guy like this and fell in love with him…? Even by the standard of Jaeha, who was equipped with scorn as a basic trait, Hisran was a very kind man.

“It’s cautious to be certain of someone, but I think my parents will respect whomever I choose.”

If he was right, they were the ideal parents.

Her mind was complicated when she thought of her parents, who suddenly passed away. While they weren’t bad people, they weren’t good parents either. Half of her wretched personality stemmed from her rebellion against them.

“I hope so, but I’m not making assumptions about people-related things.”

“What’s the problem if my parents don’t like you? You will live with me.”

“Yes, but…”

Even now, Hisran spent most of his time in the red tower. He only visited his hometown, Marquisate Ephesion, once every two or three months.

‘And, he doesn’t seem like a filial son.’

“If you are too burdened, I will visit Marquisate Ephesion alone this time.”

“….”

She thought he was sweet, should she cancel it? Who was this man acting in front of, anyway? Saying that with a brooding face on purpose, he was like a dog abandoned by his owner.

“Though they said it is better to get knocked out in the first round. We’ll meet anyway, isn’t it better to meet early?”

The case was a bit different though. At least, he could use Korean expressions like this. As he was half Korean now, Jaeha somehow felt a strange sense of pride and responded.

“To count one’s chicken before they hatch.”

Because Hisran didn’t know that she had the heart to accept his proposal, she was caught off guard for no reason. Then, she saw his face white like a man who had witnessed his wife cheating when he came home from going out.

‘…He’ll faint if he leaves the fish tank twice.’

Come to think of it, she remembered Zephyroth said he had an important event in the afternoon? Jaeha felt the need to comfort Hisran before he was completely pissed off. If the superior was uncomfortable, the subordinates would die.

As a well-trained office worker in Korea, she must know it clearly.

“…When are you going to visit?”

The red tower wizards need to know this kind of consideration. Suddenly, Hisran’s face changed to a wide smile. The speed at which his expression changed was similar to that of a highly-listed actor.

“Five days later!”

Apparently, this weekend was not good enough to rest.
