6 – Fiancee Zera – 2

” oh. “

Click.

The sound of the teacup being carefully put down filled the room.

No one spoke first.

Harvey, Zera, and the maid who stands by Zera.

All I could do was remain silent in the heavy atmosphere.

“Are you here?”

” okay. “

The first person to speak was Jera.

It was not polite for the inviter to speak first to the invitee.

Unlike Harvey, Zera thought of herself as a very classy and polite person.

Losing once in a while wasn’t a bad choice.

In a heavily subdued atmosphere, Harvey slowly turns his head and begins to look at Zera.

Not to be outdone, Jera raised her eyes and started glaring at Harvey, and the two continued to have a snowball fight for a while.

Light yellow eyes that seem to contain the moon look into Harvey’s yellow eyes.

Jiii.

After such a childish snowball fight took up several minutes.

Zera let out a light sigh and then opened his mouth.

“What are you doing? Come sit in the front.”

Zera raises her hand and elegantly tells Harvey where to sit.

Jerk, jerk.

At Zera’s words, Harvey looked at the chair for a moment, then slowly walked over, roughly pushed the chair back, and sat down on it without any hesitation.

Zera’s expression frowned a little when he saw Harvey’s lack of manners, but fortunately, Harvey didn’t seem to see Zera’s expression and just lowered his head and looked at the drink in front of him.

Harvey seemed to be thinking about something, then slowly raised his head and opened his mouth towards Zera.

“Why did you call me?”

“It’s a simple matter.”

“Is there a need to call me because of my simple appearance?”

“Of course I have to call you, I need your signature.”

” signature? “

Harvey’s eyes were slightly shaken by the word ‘signature’, but he seemed to have regained his composure and looked at Zera in silence.

“Please sign.”

“….”

From noble mtl dot com

Jera slowly places a piece of paper on the table.

Harvey, who was looking back and forth between the smiling Xera and the paper, slowly broke the silence.

“Is it a letter of engagement?”

“Yes, a letter of divorce.”

“Why?”

“Are you asking because you really don’t know? Why don’t you think about the evil deeds you’ve committed so far?”

“…”

Harvey seemed to think about something for a moment when he heard Zera’s words, and then he wrote without any hesitation on the letter of engagement that Zera handed him.

“I signed it, from now on we have nothing to do with each other.”

” ..to? “

Contrary to her expectations, Jera let out a cute, out-of-character scream at Harvey’s actions of casually signing.

Harvey must have found Zera’s appearance very funny, so he laughed and continued talking.

“It has my father’s signature, and the signature of the head of the family, Hernández, is also in it.”

Tuk-tuk.

Harvey spoke calmly, pointing to the signatures of the two matriarchs with his finger.

Once the discussions between the family heads were over, Harvey had no more options.

Things would have been different if he had been called a promising wizard prospect, but Harvey is the one at the academy who spreads all kinds of gossip.

He had no cause or power to oppose his father.

Of course, that’s true for the sake of justification, but if you think about the evil that Harvey has shown so far.

Having been treated like this, he was never the type of person to sit still in a situation like this.

” for a moment.. “

Zera was embarrassed by Harvey’s words and tried to say something, but Harvey cut Zera off and slowly looked into Zera’s eyes.

Perhaps because he was extremely embarrassed, or because he liked the sight of Zera’s eyes widening, Harvey slowly smiled.

“Why? Isn’t that what you want too? Who would want to have a bastard as their partner, and..”

Harvey’s gaze, which was looking at Zera, suddenly shifted to the maid looking at them.

“Why did you bring the family knight to the place where you signed the divorce?”

As soon as Harvey finished speaking, the maid’s eyes narrowed for an instant.

“Tell me, Zera, why is a knight from the Hernández family serving you within the academy?”

At once, Zera’s eyes opened wide.

However, on the contrary, negative words poured out of Zera’s mouth.

“I don’t quite understand what you’re talking about.”

However, the emotion in her eyes was clearly agitation, not anger.

As evidence, Zera’s eyes were shaking mercilessly.

” okay? “

“…”

The space stained with doubt begins to sink again at Harvey’s words.

The person who caused the commotion was only slurping tea.

‘ different..! ‘

Jera’s mind began to spin as she saw Harvey’s strange appearance.

It’s different from the usual hobby.

There was no Harvey who would start throwing things when he got into trouble.

The person sitting in front of him now was not his usual self, but had the momentum of an old man who had been rolling for decades at the top.

It was like a poisonous snake in a basket.

“Once again, she is my loyal maid and servant.”

“Hmm.”

Harvey smiles again at Zera’s excuse.

He then looked at the maid and continued speaking.

“What is your name?”

“…”

When Harvey remained silent despite his question, Harvey frowned and asked the question again.

“I asked what your name was.”

“It’s called Argyle.”

“Yes, Argyle. Do you really think of yourself as a maid?”

“Yes, I am your maid.”

“Really? That’s right.”

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

Harvey tapped his fingers on the table and continued speaking again.

“Your master seems to be indifferent to you, Argyle.”

“What nonsense..!”

“It’s so funny that even though the beak has a wound on its owner’s hand, they don’t take care of it at all.”

“…!”

Argyle hurriedly hid his hands behind his back at Harvey’s words.

However, the atmosphere was already leaning toward Harvey.

“The calluses on my palms, and the calluses on my thumbs… It looks like the maids can even hold swords these days.”

“…”

“Or are you from a farming family? Yes, then you can understand. If you have been holding a plow and a hoe since childhood, you can understand, but.”

Harvey turned his gaze to look at Xera.

“You said that you chose the maid of honor for Zera Hernández, the second daughter of the prestigious Hernández family, from a farming family? I salute your matriarch, Zera. It seems that your matriarch cares for you a lot, Zera.”

Harvey closed his mouth after saying, “Unlike me.”

” you! “

Zera jumps up from her seat at Harvey’s words and glares at Harvey as if she were going to kill him.

What Harvey just said had a lot of meaning.

The maids who guard the ladies of noble families, commonly referred to as prestigious families, are of a different rank from other maids.

Most of them were low-class nobles, and this was their own way of survival to become friendly with key figures who would lead the family in the future.

In other words, Harvey to Zera.

Isn’t the family prosperous enough to appoint a maid from a farming family to Zera? This was an insulting remark.

However, even so, Zera did not dare to refute Harvey’s words.

If one denies that Argyll is from a farming family, it would be like admitting with one’s own mouth that Argyle is the knight of the family.

When Jera couldn’t do anything and was just stamping his feet.

“I will take the punishment for you.”

Suddenly, Argyle knelt down towards Harvey.

“Argyle? You…!”

Zera tried to help Argyle stand up due to Argyle’s sudden behavior, but Argyle just silently knelt towards Harvey.

“As you said, I am a knight of the Hernández family. However, there is nothing wrong with the young lady. I respect the young lady, so I forced myself to become her maid.”

” so? “

“Please keep this fact quiet. If you tell me to f*ck my head, I will f*ck it. Even if you tell me to leave the academy, I will happily leave. So please..!”

The reason why Argyle desperately clings to Harvey.

This was because Norrington Academy only allowed users with the approval of students.

Ordinary nobles have never done chores themselves because their servants have done them for them for a long time.

Therefore, in order to be considerate of them, the Academy allowed users and strictly prohibited merchants and knights from entering.

This was because an unwholesome force could be formed by bringing in knights from the family.

If the rumor that Zera brought her family’s knight into the academy spread, it would cause a big blemish on not only her family’s reputation but also her own reputation.

Argyle knew that the Hernández family, a prestigious knight, valued honor, so he knelt before Harvey.

Drip.

He must have bitten his lip too hard, so Argyle’s lip was already covered in blood, and small drops of blood were falling on the floor.

However, what is worse than that is that through this incident, Zera has discovered Harvey’s weakness.

So Argyll took this action to protect Zera.

To protect Zera by sacrificing my own body.

After a moment of silence, Harvey slowly opened his mouth.

” fun. “

Zera wanted to say something at Harvey’s words, but quickly kept her mouth shut.

Instead of a closed mouth, her eyes showed anger towards Harvey.

“What should I think of this? Zera. You gave me a letter of divorce without prior notice, and even brought a knight from the family into the academy.”

” that.. “

“Did the Arthur family look funny?”

“It’s absolutely not like that…”

“Even I, the bastard of the family, was able to fully infer that Argyle was a knight. What would have happened if my father or an elder from another family had been here instead of me?”

Zera slowly begins to lower her head in response to Harvey’s question.

Zera closed his eyes tightly and admitted his mistake.

Although I was angry, there was nothing wrong or false in what Harvey said.

If this fact were to spread outside, it was clear that Zera would be severely criticized by his father.

The dishonorable title would be a bonus.

“The world is not easy, Gera Hernández.”

With those words, Harvey slowly stands up.

“I haven’t heard an answer yet!”

Argyle raises his voice in embarrassment at Harvey’s actions.

She was afraid that Harvey would go out like this and talk about this incident.

However.

“I will keep this matter under wraps.”

At that moment, Zera and Argyle looked at Harvey with expressions full of doubt.

However, Hava seemed to have no intention of clearing up their suspicions, so he just treated them with a calm expression.

Tap, tap, tap.

Harvey turns and walks toward the door.

And when he grabbed the door handle.

“I enjoyed the tea, Zera. But it was too much sugar. Be careful not to gain weight.”

“What! You! What did you just say…!”

“Oh, and one more thing.”

And Harvey’s next words made Zera keep her mouth shut.

“The gaze was very uncomfortable.”

After saying, “I have a private life, so be careful,” Harvey opened the door and went out.

It rattled.

“What the hell…what…”

Only Zera’s weak voice filled the room.
