Yesterday, I spent the whole day in the study, meticulously planning. And today, to execute that plan, I headed to the Laberion Duke’s residence.
It was to reconsider his words telling me not to come.
Upon arriving at the Duke’s residence, as usual, the butler came out to greet me in front of the mansion.
“Miss Herena, have you come.”
“Where is the Duke?”
“He is in the study right now.”
“I would like to see the Duke, so please guide me.”
“But… Miss, the Duke has requested not to let you in.”
“I have something important to tell him, so please just convey that message.”
As I insisted, the butler hesitated, wearing an awkward expression.
“It’s a request.”
“…Understood. However, if the Duke declines, please abide by his decision.”
“Thank you.”
As soon as the conversation ended, the butler went inside the mansion. I tried to hide my anxious expression and waited for the butler to come out again.
After a while, instead of the butler, an familiar face, Inyeong, walked out.
It was Kaern.
“Kaern…?”
I hurriedly approached him since I didn’t expect him to come out himself.
“Is it okay for you to move like this?”
And I asked him, worriedly examining his body.
“This much is fine.”
“But…”
“More importantly, didn’t I clearly tell you not to come anymore?”
Kaern spoke with a stern expression on his face.
If I didn’t know the reason, he was treating me so indifferently that it would have definitely hurt.
“I’m sorry. I had something really important to tell you, so I couldn’t help it.”
“What do you want to say to me?”
“I’ll tell you inside.”
I tried to go inside quickly, fearing that it might strain him, but Kaern spoke firmly.
“Speak here.”
“Yes?”
“I don’t have time to spare for you right now. So, speak here and make it quick to go back.”
“Ah…”
Even though I knew his inner thoughts, I momentarily felt disheartened by his clear refusal.
However, I quickly composed myself and parted my lips to persuade him.
“The conversation I need to have is a bit lengthy. It’s not suitable to discuss it here. Or perhaps, do you think Kaern, I’m not even worth entering the mansion?”
I deliberately chose strong words, somehow thinking that he might not refuse my request any longer.
As I felt his gaze staring at me, a shallow sigh was audible.
“…Alright. Let’s go inside.”
Indeed, my assumption was correct.
“Yes. Let’s go inside quickly.”
I hastily entered the mansion with him and took a seat in the reception room.
“What do you want to say to me?”
As soon as Kaern sat down, he inquired about the matter.
“How is your body?”
Instead of answering his question, I checked his physical condition first.
“Are you still working in that condition?”
“Are you here just to check on my health?”
“Not solely for that, but…”
“Harena.”
Whether he was displeased with something, Kaern called me, lowering his voice.
“If that’s the case, you don’t have to come here like this. I won’t say it twice. Don’t come here until you leave for your study abroad.”
Kaern sternly spoke, putting down another firm boundary.
“Until I leave?”
He nodded instead of giving a direct answer.
“Then, Kaern, if I decide not to study abroad, can I still come here?”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m thinking of postponing my plan to study abroad.”
“What did you say?”
At my unexpected declaration, Kaern’s eyes widened significantly.
