Love Letter From The Future

5. Bread and dagger (93)

Delphine, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, was still beautiful.

It was to the extent that it was not even necessary to mobilize more descriptions to express its beauty. As always, the alluring and captivating scent of a woman paralyzes the man’s sense of smell.

It felt like being drunk.

The distinction between reason and desire has become blurred. In addition, isn’t the opponent a female that he has held in his arms twice so far?

His instincts as a male violently shook his brain.

However, today I had more important business.

I purposely said, “Kheum,” and cleared my throat, holding on to my spirit. Regardless of whether or not, Delphine was just looking at me with a slight smile.

Those eyes were affectionate.

It was a look of love. I was grateful for that feeling, but ashamed, I slightly averted my eyes.

Of course, it was also because the underwear clinging to Delphine’s body was irritating.

A secret valley was visible between the disorganized front islands. I inadvertently imagined the scene beyond that thin cloth, and soon I had to erase the image that appeared in my head.

Yeah, that wasn’t the time yet.

It was enough to enjoy entertainment after having a conversation.

“Senior Delphine, how have you been?”

“no.”

Delphine said that with a mischievous smile.

Pom, who crossed his arms and leaned his upper body against the back of a chair, was quite defenseless. Maybe it’s because the breasts are placed on top of the arms and are emphasized more.

I don’t know if it was before, but now I have no choice but to know.

The fact that Delphine is currently seducing me.

After all, she was a woman who loved to joke.

“The West has fallen, how can the woman get along? I lived day by day worrying about my husband.”

“It doesn’t look particularly thin.”

“It’s difficult to look haggard. I’m a woman too, wouldn’t I want to look pretty for you?”

I shook my head with a smile.

There was probably half-truth mixed in what Delphine said. Since we’re in a relationship, he must have been worried.

However, the confession that he had been worrying about me all day had some ugliness.

My wounds aren’t that serious.

In fact, it belonged to a serious injury, but it was a shallow wound compared to the past when the five organs were smashed and the whole body suffered through wounds. At most, the fractures and bruises he received while fighting Leoric were all.

So I was able to get up relatively quickly.

Even compared to the last battle with the corpse giant, it was like that.

At the time, I had to lie down for weeks. Considering these precedents, the wounds I suffered while fighting Leoric were laughable.

Although seriously injured, it is not life-threatening.

It wasn’t a fatal injury that Delphine was worried about.

As evidence of that, did I not escape after hearing the saintess nag me for two hours? This actually meant my injury wasn’t as big as it used to be.

Because the saintess used to take a stern attitude the more I was seriously injured.

In fact, this story was not limited to the saintess. Most of the women around me were like that, and because of that, I had to suffer from endless nagging until a few minutes ago.

Fortunately, there was no Seria.

I heard that you are sorting out the remaining issues at the forefront.

He said he would come either today or tomorrow, but it seemed as if he would send a message as soon as he arrived. Then it was the beginning of another gourd.

How did you end up being held captive like this?

I sighed heavily inwardly, but now I had a real reason to sigh.

Direct words flowed from my mouth.

“They entrusted the treatment of the Yurdina family to me.”

It was then that a crack occurred in Delphine’s relaxed attitude.

The flirtatious playfulness is erased.

She stiffened for a moment, then slightly frowned. Then, as if in trouble, he straightened his upper body again and tapped the table with his index finger several times.

Delphine didn’t bother asking the subject of my confession.

Because there were only two people in the empire who could decide the fate of the Yurdina family.

One is Delphine senior.

Then the rest was obvious.

A faint moan leaked from Delphine-senpai’s mouth.

“So, what were you going to do?”

“I don’t know.”

It was my honest feelings.

Delphine sighed and laughed, as if she knew that, and leaned back on the back of the chair.

Those bloody eyes looked to the side for a moment. It was a habit that came out when I was in trouble.

Effective leaders do not delay their decisions.

Delphine senior was the same. The woman’s body jumped up, and soon white hands wandered around the cupboard. It didn’t take long for such a luxurious bottle of wine to appear in the world.

Naturally, two drinking glasses rise to the table.

I like it, but the timing wasn’t right. I couldn’t drink alcohol at such a critical moment.

A small sigh escaped my mouth.

“Senior Delphine, didn’t you hear me? Because the fate of the family depends on it. The two of us should put our heads together right now… … .”

“No.”

It was a plain yet firm tone.

My mouth, unable to penetrate that heart, shut. Delphine-senpai was tipping the bottle before she knew it.

The ruby-colored liquid filled the two glasses one after the other.

The fragrant incense tickled the tip of his nose. It was the same development as always.

The only difference is that Delphine has a rather bored expression on her face.

This was also like a senior Delphine. Until the late night duel with me, she always maintained this attitude.

boring and boring

It was the look on his face that he was sick and tired of everything in the world.

“Since my father has been detained, I am now the head of Yurdina. Even if I don’t monitor my bedroom, my entire schedule will be subject to surveillance. Then, by any chance, if you show me a hint that Seobang-nim and I are discussing?”

I didn’t bother to ask what was next.

lose the emperor’s trust

It was a bad conclusion for either me or the Yurdina family.

Even so, I couldn’t let go of the regret.

“but… … ”

“I don’t want to lose anything.”

Slump down in the seat, Delphine leaned her upper body forward as if hugging her own legs. It wasn’t the usual mode of moderation and grace.

I would be the only one in the world who could witness such a defenseless senior Delphine.

A thin voice continued.

“Either you or the family… I don’t want to lose anything.”

It was a soft voice that was not like her.

You could say it was a child’s complaint. Not wanting to lose either of them was just a personal wish.

What if the moment comes when you have to choose between the two?

Delphine will have to make a decision. There’s no way she didn’t know this, but she was swarming me.

Me and my family, I don’t want to lose either of them.

At the same time, it also meant that my importance in Delphine’s mind had skyrocketed that much.

To the extent that I have to weigh the family.

I said with a wry smile.

“Isn’t that why the two of us should put our heads together?”

“No, I can’t make an objective judgment. And the more often the two of us get together, the worse it gets.”

If so, it meant that I should refrain from meeting Delphine-senpai for a while.

At least we won’t be having these confidential conversations.

With a sense of regret, I licked my lips and fell into trouble again.

So, do I have to solve this difficulty alone?

A brief conclusion could be drawn within today, but a weak agreement was likely to act as poison.

Delphine looked at me in agony in silence.

It must have been boring, but she even had a faint smile as if she was having fun. The wine was slicking in the round glass.

In the end, it was Delphine senior who broke the silence.

“Can’t we have a bookshelf?”

“… … ?”

My doubtful eyes turned to Delphine.

Then she continued to advise in a tone that was not a big deal.

“Even if it’s not me, there are many smart people in the world. Isn’t there at least one person around you?”

“Oh,” I involuntarily exclaimed.

Then I saw it.

He is my most trusted friend and a talented person with extraordinary brains.

Leto Ainstern.

I let out a sigh of relief at the name that immediately flashed through my mind.

Delphine seniors wouldn’t know, but there was no reason for the Imperial Intelligence Department to stop me from sharing my worries with Leto, who is close to me. And Leto’s brain would surely come up with a plan that would satisfy me.

As my complexion brightened, Delphine sighed and burst into laughter.

“Are you that worried about me?”

“Yeah, of course… no, what Wouldn’t anyone?”

I groaned and cleared my throat, trying to keep my composure.

Are you worried about Delphine?

It wasn’t like a question that had a fixed answer in the first place.

Could there be a man who wouldn’t worry about the woman with whom I crossed the line countless times and slept with him twice?

Even if it did exist, it was at a level of doubt whether it could fall under the expression ‘human’.

Delphine senpai raised her glass leisurely and said.

“Huh, it seems like you already have a lot of worries, don’t you? At least you can forget about tonight… Isn’t it a happy day?”

“No, it can’t be. Thank you for ensuring the life of the elves… … .”

“Because one of those elves saved the North.”

As I continued to speak, my mouth fell shut.

I heard too.

About the sacrifice of old Pope.

His life has been marked by hatred for a long time. Hating and resenting someone even necrotizes my heart.

Nevertheless, at the last moment, he chose to sacrifice himself for the sake of mankind he hated so much.

Old man Pope once told me.

Bread must be repaid with bread.

So did he give up his life? Because I sacrificed myself to save the elves in the village.

I had no choice but to remain silent as my heart was choking.

“Yurdina never forgets the price of blood. Whether it is the blood we shed or the blood shed for us… His sacrifice will be well-deservedly rewarded.”

“… … thank you.”

I tried to pretend nothing was wrong, but my voice was slightly damp.

I’m in debt again

Losing Ned, losing Pope inspiration.

And it will continue to be so in the future.

My path was above life. It was impossible to move forward without trampling on someone’s sacrifice.

However, I made up my mind again today.

Even if the world forgets, I will remember them as much as I do.

Delphine was a woman with a lot of understanding.

He waited for me to recover, and even spent the night drinking with me.

After that, what

Before I knew it, Delphine sunbaenim was laid under me. The disheveled clothes and the sweet scent of a woman’s body densely wrapped around the tip of his nose.

With a slightly reddened face, the woman smiled slightly.

As if trying to squeeze the man’s heart like that.

“After all, today is like this, sir?”

I reflexively tried to deny that, but then I smiled bitterly.

It was as it was said.

**

Sarah was in a good mood.

It felt like my heart was fluttering in the air. Her overjoyed heart turned into a rough beating and urged Seria’s steps.

The crisis of desperation facing the North has been resolved.

And the one who solved the problem was the senior Seria loved.

Seria was happy enough to shed tears just by that fact.

Now that the monster that might cover the northern part has disappeared, her beloved sister must also have been at peace.

In addition, the reputation of senior Ian, who defeated the family of evil gods one after another, would increase even more.

Family and love, it was a good thing that came to the two of them. There was no reason Seria wouldn’t be happy.

Now there is only one worry left.

It was only Ian’s comfort.

Although there is no danger to life, anxiety digs into any possibility and coils itself in the heart. Although Seria was proud of Ian, she had to bite her nails several times every night nervously.

But now I said goodbye to that night of anguish.

It was because I heard that Ian was conscious.

Upon hearing the story, Seria went home. It was such a sudden decision that he would not have even sent a proper message to his parents’ home.

It didn’t matter though.

Seria was Delphine’s most trusted sister. There was no place she couldn’t come and go from the family, even the most secret places.

Leaving behind the doorkeeper’s astonishment, Seria hurriedly climbed the stairs.

No matter how much Ian wanted to see him, the system had to be maintained.

Seria was Yurdina’s vassal, and when she arrived at her home, of course she had to report to the head of the household.

It was already late at night.

Delphine must be staying in the bedroom, not the office. Maybe I was sleeping first because I couldn’t overcome my fatigue.

Rather good.

Then even that short time to report to my sister would be skipped.

Of course, it didn’t take long for Seria’s expectations to be betrayed.

A soft light was still leaking from Delphine’s bedroom. Seria sighed involuntarily at the warmth, but she soon regained her composure.

Delphine was also someone Seria admired as much as Ian.

But the moment I took another step.

“After all, today is like this, sir?”

Seria’s body froze as if she had received an electric shock at the coquettish tone she had never heard before.

It was Delphine’s voice.

It was Seria who had been aiming only for Delphine since childhood. There was no way I couldn’t make out my sister’s voice, if anyone else could.

Even so, Seria could not erase a handful of suspicions.

It was because Delphine’s tone was too unfamiliar.

A voice that longs for the affection of the other person, as if performing a charming act.

Seria involuntarily held her breath and lowered her stance. Then, walking like a crawl, he sat down outside the door through which a faint light leaked out.

Only then did I feel the presence in the room.

It was two.

And it was so familiar.

His blue eyes widened in disbelief.

As soon as he did, the man’s faint laughter tumbled down the girl’s eardrum.

“… … That’s all.”

Seria had to cover her mouth with both hands.

It must have been.

It was Ian’s voice.
