Episode 91
“…Huh.”
Klarna, who was bruised and crying as soon as she saw Frey, was able to come to her senses only when he started frowning at her.
“This… I mean…”
Clanna quickly wiped away the tears that were flowing down her cheeks with her hands and tried to make an excuse, but was unable to say anything.
This was because I myself did not know why this phenomenon occurred.
“Uh, uh…”
To make matters worse, this time even my hands start shaking.
“…it’s nothing.”
Klana, who couldn’t do any of these things due to the unknown symptoms that had been bothering her for several days and her heart that was getting hot for some reason, ended up muttering helplessly on the sofa.
“Huh… that was true.”
The 1st princess, who was watching this, muttered in a low voice, while Frey asked a question with a sour expression.
“So, what do you want to talk about? I’m a bit busy right now, so I hope you’ll tell me quickly.”
“Well, I’m sorry, but I think this is going to be a bit of a long story.”
The 1st Princess, who responded to Frey with a voice that had regained her composure, looked at Klarna, who had been in a mild panic until then, and added,
“Of course not me, but it looks like Clanna has a lot to talk about.”
“Ha… Then I have no choice.”
Frey sighed at the words of the First Princess and gave an order to the girls who were lying face down in front of him.
“I’m playing in the next room with Lulu. Guys who fight know how to starve.”
It was an insulting tone that did not even consider the girls in front of them as people, but the girls just bowed their heads with dead eyes.
“Lulu, shall we see you later?”
“Ha… yes, yes…”
Frey spoke with a kind smile to Lulu, who was following behind the girls with a pale look on her face. As soon as they left, his expression hardened and he asked a question.
“So, what do you want to talk about?”
“Oh, that’s it. Regarding the request for assistance from the Cloud Kingdom this time, did you know that a secret meeting will be held at the birthday party today?”
“Yes, of course.”
“I’m here to tell you where it is.”
As the 1st princess looked at Klarna while saying that, Klarna slowly raised her trembling hand and snapped her fingers.
“Oh, now… just a moment.”
However, perhaps because her hands were shaking, only a faint light came out and nothing happened, so Klana, embarrassed, started snapping her fingers repeatedly.
“Tweet!”
“…This?”
After snapping her fingers for a while, a small canary came out and sat on Frey’s shoulder, and Klarna spoke with a calm expression.
“Well, that bird will guide you to the location.”
“That’s right, you just have to follow that bird. Well, I’ve given you all the information, so I’ll just leave.”
“Are you leaving already?”
When the 1st princess, who was watching the scene, raised the corners of her mouth and stood up, Frey asked a question with a puzzled expression.
“Ah, there was a story I originally wanted to talk about… but it doesn’t really matter anymore.”
Then, the smiling First Princess responded with a wink.
“Please keep doing the same from now on, Frey.”
“Huh? What is that…”
After hearing those words, Frey still looked confused and tried to ask a question, but the 1st princess waved her hand and walked out of the room.
“”……..””
And when only Frey and Klarna were left in the room, a long silence began to fall.
.
“…How have you been?”
“no.”
Frey, trying to keep a calm expression, breaks the long silence and asks me a question. When I give him an immediate answer, he sighs and asks me again.
“So, what do you want to talk about with me?”
“First, please explain what happened to those girls earlier.”
When I questioned Frey, who calmly asked a question, about what happened earlier, he said with a shameless expression.
“Well, it’s not obvious. They are my slaves.”
“Slaves…?”
“No, rather than a slave, it’s a pet. I give it affection.”
After hearing those words, I began to speak in a cold voice.
“A meeting will be held soon to discuss the slave market… You are tormenting girls who are our age by treating them worse than slaves.”
“So, are you going to assassinate me?”
As Frey sneers, my heart warms again. Just like I always did whenever I thought of his voice over the past few days.
‘It’s starting again… again.’
The hand hidden under the desk began to tremble again. Even if you try to squeeze your hands to stop the trembling, the trembling won’t stop.
“Just kidding, kidding. Why are you overreacting so much?”
“…I’m not in the mood to listen to jokes.”
I glare at Frey, who asks a question as if teasing me, and raise my voice and shout.
“You! What did you do to me…”
“Oh, by the way, I have a gift for you.”
However, when Frey cut me off and took out the box from his arms, his voice stopped coming out of his throat, as if it were a lie.
“It’s a sign of reconciliation, take it.”
“Huh…”

“Klarna?”
Eventually, Frey spoke with a calm expression, and I lowered my head and became lost in thought.
‘As expected… of course. Frey did something to me.’
For the past few days, thoughts of Frey have not left my mind.
Moreover, whenever I think of his face or voice even just a little, my heart gets hot and my hands shake.
At first, I doubted whether I really fell in love with Frey, but I soon concluded that it couldn’t be possible.
Is there no reason to fall in love with Frey, whom you hated so much that you wanted to kill him, so much so that you actually tried to kill him overnight?
Then there is only one answer.
Freyr did something out of spite towards me.
‘Just now… he said, “At least assassinate me.” Looking at that, as expected, Frey…’
Could it be that he found out about my assassination plan and is taking revenge by borrowing the power of the devil?
No, even if he didn’t necessarily find out about the assassination plan, there’s enough reason for him to do this to me.
At the last dance, he was the one who said he would play with me and throw me away.
“Don’t open that box.”
Having come to that conclusion, I spoke to Frey in a cold voice.
“what?”
“Did you think I didn’t know? The gift in that box must be something that reinforces this trick you played on me. Am I wrong?”
Frey looks puzzled after hearing what I say.
“Otherwise, why would you give me a gift? Tell me.”
“I told you, I want to make peace.”
“These days, does the box given as a reconciliation gift contain dark magic?”
I feel angry.
I hate Frey so much, who is holding out a box with dark magic in front of me, that I want to kill him.
My heart keeps pounding and my hands are shaking.
It’s as if your brain is telling you to hate him and your heart is telling you not to.
“It’s a gift I got as a favor from Kania, so it could be mixed with dark magic, or something like that.”
“Don’t lie, I didn’t think you knew you did something to me?”
To him, who still has a shameless expression on his face, I hold out my trembling hand and say.
“Just looking at you… no, just thinking about you makes my hands shake. How did this happen?”
“…ah.”
Frey, who heard those words, made a momentary but embarrassed expression.
And at that moment, something inside me snapped.
“Put that box away. I don’t need any presents from you.”
“Can I take that to mean that there will be no reconciliation?”
“Was it possible for you and I to reconcile?”
When I said that, Frey shrugged his shoulders and said.
“I knew I could do it.”
“I don’t think that will happen.”
After saying that, I stood up and frowned deeply.
“I hate you so much, Freyr.”
“Really? I like you.”
“Just put saliva in your mouth and speak.”
“It’s true.”
Then Frey spoke with a calm expression.
“I’m not sure why your hands are shaking, but I didn’t do it. That’s for sure.”
“How long will you lie…”
As I was about to explode with anger at Frey, a thought suddenly crossed my mind and I paused for a moment and began to think back on the situation from before.
‘…Definitely, something was strange.’
There was something strange about Frey’s embarrassed expression earlier.
It wasn’t the shameless or mean-spirited expression he usually made when his mistakes were discovered, but… he had a truly embarrassed expression.
And most importantly, there was no malice involved.
Until I gave him the gift, he had the characteristic shamelessness of doing something bad, but when he made that face just now, it was as if he was worried about me like back then…
‘Wait, like back then?’
As I continued to think, I stopped thinking for a moment because of a word that suddenly passed through my head.
What was it like back then? Did Frey ever worry about me? No, there is a reason for that in the first place…
“Anyway, you’re saying you don’t need this gift, right? Then just leave.”
“Until the end… you’re not going to tell me what you did to me?”
“Well, I said I didn’t do anything.”
While saying that, I looked at Frey with a tired expression and gestured for him to leave with confused eyes. Then, when my hands started shaking again, I quickly started heading towards the door.
“Are you really not going to take this?”
As I grabbed the doorknob and heard Frey’s words coming from behind me, my hands eventually started shaking again.
“I don’t need blood. I don’t need any gifts from you.”
In the end, to hide my agitation, I answered in a cold voice and quickly left the room.
“Okay, did you manage to ruin your relationship with Frey?”
“…Huh?”
However, as I left the room, someone with a veil covering their face grabbed me and whispered in a low voice.
Thanks to this, I looked to the side in surprise and quickly realized her identity.
“Roswin?”
“Looking at your expression, it looks like you’ve ruined it.”
Roswin, who said that, winked and began to whisper in a low voice.
“Then, let’s start the operation now.”
“Ji, starting now?”
“Of course we should do it now. A man who is heartbroken is easily swayed by even the slightest temptation.”
After finishing speaking, Roswin smiled and started heading towards the room where Frey was.
“Now, wait a minute…!”
“Hmm? Why are you doing that?”
As I was looking at her like that, I called her out without realizing it.
Why am I like this?
“Oh, no… no, wait. I mean…”
“Hehe, don’t worry.”
As I was confused, Roswin raised the corners of her mouth and spoke to me.
“Because I will completely take Frey away from you.”
After saying that, Roswin opened the door to the room where Frey was and naturally went inside.
.
“Uh, uh…”
Klana, who was staring blankly at the tightly closed door, soon became restless and began pacing near the door.
“Why are you doing this… why on earth…”
I tried closing my eyes and meditating, taking deep breaths, and even picking at my fingernails, but the anxiety wouldn’t go away.
“…Ugh!”
Klana, who had been restless for a while, soon began to hurriedly head somewhere.
“It’s for Roswin’s safety. Frey might cross the line.”
Eventually, Klarna arrived at the veranda of Frey’s room and began to resonate with the golden canary that had been sitting on Frey’s shoulder earlier.
The canary summoned by Klarna was mainly used to summon and talk without anyone knowing during lonely times, so it is a skill that has never been shown to Frey until now.
Therefore, Klarna, confident that she would never be caught, soon connected her sight and hearing to the canary and began checking the situation in the room.
“Frey, why are you so upset?”
“No, it’s just… I had something worth doing.”
Eventually, Klarna checked the room and frowned slightly when she saw Roswin asking a question while placing her hand on Frey’s shoulder.
“I heard you got dumped by Mr. Klana?”
“No… that’s not it. I was just trying to make up…”
“I guess this was a reconciliation gift?”
When Roswin tilted her head with a confused expression, Frey said with a sullen expression.
“Roswin, would you like to have this?”
“I like it. I definitely welcome any gifts.”
“…If you get that, you have to go out with me?”
As Roswin spoke with sparkling eyes, Frey smiled and looked at her.
“What do you think? Do you want to take it or not?”
“………….”
“I’m kidding, just kidding. I’ll give you a better gift the next time I visit the Information Guild, so then…”
“…please.”
“what?”
Frey waved the gift box in front of Roswin and then tried to put the box back into his arms with a sullen expression, but when she accepted the gift box, he started to look embarrassed.
“Now, wait a minute. Why did you give me my gift…”
“Huh… That’s quite a luxurious wrapping paper? It must have been hard to find.”
Eventually, Roswin, who cut off Frey’s words with an expression of incomprehension and praised the wrapping paper, began to look embarrassed.
‘Well, that box…’
Klarna, who was watching the scene, looked pale and muttered as Roswin began to reach for the box.
‘It’s definitely dangerous…!’
Inside that box, black magic was clearly felt. So, if you open that box, Roswin will be in danger.
“Well, if you open that…”
Thinking like that, Klarna urgently tried to control the canary connected to her, but when her hands began to tremble again and the sun’s mana did not come out, she turned back with a pale, tired face.
“Oh my, what is this?”
“Uh… that’s it…”
Eventually, Klarna, who was biting her nails with a nervous expression and was about to head to Frey’s room, saw what Roswin had taken out of the gift box and chewed her finger hard without realizing it.
“Is this… something you prepared for Mr. Klana?”
“No, it’s just… it’s on display at the front of the flower shop… and how can you touch it…”
“Are you lying to me? Be cute.”
What came out of the box was not a lump of dark magic, a spell scroll, or a cursed necklace.
“But, after all, it’s a canary flower… and seeing as it’s yellow, its intention is very obvious.”
It just contained yellow canary flowers.
“…uh?”
Klarna, who was blankly watching the scene from the perspective of the canary sitting on Frey’s shoulder, soon muttered in a trembling voice.
“Well, that can’t be possible…?”
It was from that moment that Klarna felt something was wrong.
