Lucius’s stern warning eyes were quite intimidating. However, Bellcane Viscount, still not losing his smile, responded.
“Yes, a person from the house of Viscount Bellcane.”
Lucius was not one to tolerate challenges to his authority. Moreover, like Esica, Lucius, too, exuded a stern atmosphere with just a slight change in expression, thanks to the protagonist buff. And Bellcane Viscount was not an easy opponent, even for Icarus, who was quite skilled at handling people.
“An archenemy.”
Reneve secretly admired Bellcane Viscount, who playfully scratched Lucius’s mind with his constant smiling.
“You must be tired. Please go in first, Young Lady.”
Bellcane Viscount said. Even under Lucius’s stern gaze, he didn’t blink an eye.
Then, from an angle unseen by Lucius, Bellcane Viscount gave Reneve a slight wink.
It was as if to say, “I can handle this person well, so go inside without worries.”
Without giving any attention to Lucius, Reneve went inside.
The next morning, when Reneve had left only a bite of her breakfast, Kieren spoke.
“Lady, Duke Goun has come to visit.”
After a few days of rest? Did something happen that required Reneve’s help?
“Alright. Tell him I’ll be there soon.”
“Yes, Lady.”
Tidying up her mouth, Reneve headed straight to the reception room.
“I heard that His Highness the Prince of Paradis is bothering you, Young Lady!”
Duke Goun exclaimed as soon as he saw Reneve.
“How did you know that?”
“Viscount Bellcane personally came to inform me. Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
Meeting Duke Goun’s gaze that seemed to demand an explanation, Reneve quickly grasped the situation.
‘So, right now.’
Bellcane Viscount had informed Duke Goun about yesterday’s incident.
‘Whether this should be called wise or…’
Unable to easily answer, Reneve quickly added when Duke Goun spoke again.
“Therefore, His Highness the Prince of Paradis has recommended you return to your homeland promptly.”
In the eyes of Duke Goun, who seemed to expect praise, Reneve burst into a bitter laugh.
“Did he really do that?”
At Reneve’s question, Duke Goun nodded.
“Of course.” The side that sent the invitation to the founding celebration of Paradis was undoubtedly Basquker. Duke Goun’s actions were no different from inviting a guest and quickly chasing them away.
Usually, we waited until the foreign guests were invited and stayed until they returned to their country. During their stay, we could build camaraderie.
It was not only Viscount Bellcane, who promptly rebuffed Duke Goun, but Duke Goun’s attitude had clearly changed.
“What did His Highness say?”
“Well, I can’t say he looked particularly pleased, but he said he would return soon, without using military language.”
Reneve imagined Lucius’s expression, feeling a sense of insult and distorting his face. Trying to suppress a burst of laughter, Reneve failed and burst into hearty laughter.
“….Young Lady?”
“No, it’s just so refreshing.”
Reneve continued to laugh until the laughter subsided. Tears welled up in her eyes.
“Well, if Young Lady is happy, that’s fortunate. And one more thing! I have good news to tell you.”
Just as Reneve’s laughter was about to die down, Duke Goun spoke.
“What is it?”
“His Majesty has recovered!”
“That’s really fortunate.”
Reneve breathed a sigh of relief.
However, as long as Icarus was on the battlefield, she couldn’t be relieved too soon.
Since deciding not to deny her feelings for Icarus, Reneve resolved to integrate into Basquker society.
Firstly, she began having many conversations with Lady Vanderfelt, and secondly, she started attending social gatherings with Viscount Bellcane and Princess Rachel.
Just like now.
“I think I prefer to walk a bit.”
Although there was a hunting competition scheduled soon, she seemed to have overeaten due to the cheerful atmosphere.
“Then I’ll accompany you. I was just thinking of taking a walk too.”
As Reneve stood up, Viscount Bellcane also rose from his seat.
Passing by the makeshift tent set up for the hunting competition, they saw hunting dogs.
The hunting dogs, who had been sniffing the scents of grass and flowers, wagged their tails enthusiastically upon seeing Reneve and Viscount Bellcane.
Naturally, a smile spread across Reneve’s face.
“Do you like dogs?”
While scratching the chin of the closest hunting dog, Viscount Bellcane looked up at Reneve.
Reneve watched him with curious eyes from the side and nodded.
“They seem very gentle.”
“They’re well-trained kids.”
Viscount Bellcane swiftly patted the heads of other dogs busy wagging their tails.
“I’ll count on you later.”
As if the dogs understood Viscount Bellcane’s words, they barked loudly.
The hunting competition involved shooting animals with arrows and having the hunting dogs retrieve them.
“Are you in the lobby right now?”
Reneve joked lightly, and Viscount Bellcane nodded emphatically.
“Did it look like that? Well, I won’t make excuses. Although it’s a small hunting competition, I do want to win if possible.”
Even though it was a small hunting competition, Viscount Bellcane seemed genuinely sincere.
As they walked past the hunting dogs, their conversation shifted to the topic of romance circulating within the social gathering.
“Do you have someone you fancy, Young Lady?”
“They all seem like nice people.”
“So, no one in particular.”
Reneve hesitated for a moment and then smirked.
“Actually, Viscount, you’ve been misunderstanding. I don’t have feelings for you.”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
