What the Hero Wanted Was Me - Chapter 35



Chapter 35

Chapter 35.

After burning a white rose for the first time in a long time, I woke up in the morning sunlight feeling satisfied with my ample sleep.

“Ah… That’s embarrassing…”

It was this morning when she remembered what Sienna’s sister, Ciela, had said the night before and her face blushed.

‘I enjoyed the acting!’

Ciela noticed that me and Ciana were acting.

In Sianna’s case, it was true that she marked me as her fateful opponent, but I had to play her because her feelings for her were ambiguous.

‘Muh..Of course we are in love..!’

Reminding myself of my awkward acting, I changed into a butler’s attire and went out to visit.

“Oh, isn’t this our future son-in-law?”

The person I met upon leaving the door was Sauron, Cyana’s father.

He started calling me a preliminary son-in-law because of yesterday’s incident, but I awkwardly greeted him in the morning as I’m not used to the title of a preliminary son-in-law.

“…Good morning. Did you sleep well?”

“The bed is nice, but son-in-law, I’m sorry. Please don’t be so harsh.”

“I’ll try.”

Looking at Sauron’s enthusiastic reaction, it seemed that Siela would not tell me that what I was doing was acting.

My conscience was pricked at lying to Sauron, who seemed friendly to me, and I talked with him as we went down the stairs.

“Come to think of it, I’d like to visit the human world today.”

“Do you want to go outside?”

As we talked, I learned an unexpected fact when I asked about my daily routine.

Sauron was planning to roam the Empire with his family today.

“But shouldn’t I know where my daughter lives?”

Said Sauron, scratching his face shamefully with his fingers.

Still, his parents seemed to love their daughter.

‘What kind of people are my parents?’

I have never met my parents either in real life or in another world.

“Wandering around outside? Whoever wants to.”

Syanna, who had better hearing than most elves, began to question Sauron if he had heard our conversation.

Cyana came to my side and started talking to Sauron.

“It’s dangerous out there. If that’s the case, come with me. I’ll let you know.”

Cyanna wondered if her own family was her concern, and she began to tell Sauron that he would introduce her to her empire.

“If Shiana-sama goes with you, I’m sure you’ll feel relieved.”

She may have forgotten, but Shiana was an archer in the warriors’ party. She was, however, a woman who had more power than others.

Siana took my arms.

There was no hesitation in Siana’s gestures, as if she had gotten used to this posture.

“I’m not the only one going? The butler is going too.”

“Yes?”

Shiana’s white face turned red and she whispered in her ear in a small voice so only I could hear.

“It’s an important opportunity to earn points from my dad..! I have to go unconditionally..!”

Do I really have to score?

With that thought in mind, she looked at Sianna’s expression, but her emerald eyes were burning with passion.

‘I need to buy some stuff too…’

Since the white roses had run out and I had to leave, she accepted her offer.

“I’ll go with you.”

Upon hearing Lenny’s answer, Shiana’s heart jumped like she was riding on a trampoline.

‘It’s a date..! It’s a date..!’

She was actually Shiana, who did not know that Lenny would accept her offer to satisfy her self-interest.

She sprinted down her stairs, thinking about going on a date with Lenny.

“What are you doing, don’t come soon!”

Siana She went down the stairs first and was looking at us with a wide smile.

“Heh heh.. It’s been a while since I’ve seen him smile like that..”

Sauron thanked me and said that she would take good care of her daughter in the future.

“…”

I made up my mind that I would never find out about my relationship with Sianna, who was unaware of it.

•••

After Siana’s family finished all the preparations, we set off for the central square of the empire.

From noble mtl dot com

“Is this a wagon…!?”

Saiden, riding in her carriage for the first time, thrust her face toward her window, her eyes twinkling like a child’s.

“Not even a child..! That..Stop..!”

“Don’t stop me, Ciela!”

Noticing that I was looking at such Saiden, Ciela was doing her best to keep him away from her window.

It was always up to the younger brother to stop her brother’s embarrassing behavior.

“Whew, when will you grow up..”

Seeing her Saiden, she sighed. I looked at her questioning her words.

‘What will the woman who attacked me say?’

Shiana, who says she has not grown up, was clearly classified as a criminal in human society.

“What.. What are you looking at..!”

Sianna seemed to have noticed my disturbing gaze, and immediately reacted.

It had been a long time since silence had run away from the carriage on its way to the central square.

We arrived after a long time and got off the carriage.

“This is the empire I live in.”

Having taken a peek before arriving at her mansion, they further wanted to know what kind of place Sianna was living.

“You look peaceful.”

When Sauron first arrived, he did not keep an eye on the people to find the mansion.

Only now, Sauron’s sentiment toward humans was extraordinary.

People who do their own things while making faces without worries or concerns.

Sauron felt that this empire was a good society.

“…Not bad.”

“I will.”

Feeling that the lives of elves and humans are no different, they began to go deeper into human society.

‘It definitely attracts a lot of attention.’

In terms of humans, the race of elves was quite rare.

Beast tribes and dwarves had a foot in human society to some extent, but elves were exclusive, so word of mouth did not spread to ordinary citizens.

“Never mind, if we also humans come to town, that’s what we’re going to do.”

Sauron certainly possessed wisdom befitting his age.

Because the beard on his chin showed a mature look as if it were not a decoration of the years, my liking for him rose within me.

“Do you want to buy one?”

While we were walking, a child appeared and fearlessly tried to sell us something.

The child held out a bracelet to us as if he was not intimidated by the race of elves.

“It’s a wooden combed bracelet from the mountains in the south, kid.”

“Yes! The energy from the tree improves my health!”

Ciela looked like she was going to buy one of the cute little ones.

“How much, kid.”

She’s a kid, she said, 2000 coins is all she needs.

About 2,000 won in Korea. She appeared to be a nice little kid who was selling for a reasonable price.

“Buy one for mine.”

Saiden said she wanted to buy but she was shy and she was talking through Siela.

Like that, the elves looked satisfied with the good bracelets they had obtained, and Sauron’s heart also had a thought after seeing it.

‘Humans aren’t all that bad’

It was Sauron who recalled the past of the elves who were used as slaves in the past, but felt that the world was changing.

“I’ll keep going.”

In this way, we went around the market, clothing stores, and restaurants to introduce the human world to Sianna’s family.

Siola’s mother, Siola, was quite satisfied with her bread and clothes, and she even said that she shouldn’t live in the human world, so she introduced them to the culture with good results.

“I have something to buy for a while…”

I parted ways with them for a while to buy a white rose in the middle.

The place that sells white roses is quite deep, so I thought it would be premature to show them, so I came alone.

“Go with me, butler.”

“Siana?”

It was Sianna who followed me as she was going to go alone. That she was here meant that there was no one near her, Sianna, or her family.

“How is your family doing?”

“I ordered the coachman to send it back. We have work to do, don’t we?”

Things to do.

‘What’s there…?’

She didn’t remember making a promise to her, so Shiana brought her words to me as I made her face tilt her head.

“We should go on a date. It’s just the two of us.”

“Yes?”

I couldn’t understand Shiana’s thought circuit, so I could only ask back.

She was forced to pounce, and this time it was Sianna who was dreaming of a forced date.

“Here, here”

Siana was reaching out to me.

That means only one thing.

“What are you doing, don’t grab it quickly. We should go on a date, no doubts.”

It was Shiana, who blushed and lied shamelessly.

Because her reaction was fresh and cute, I decided to go further.

“With your bare mouth?”

“What… What do you want…!”

Siana jumped up and overreacted to my answer.

I didn’t know what she was imagining, but it seemed like she was imagining something like mine, so I started talking into her sensitive ears.

“I did it once, so twice is fine, right?”

This was my idea of how to prevent a runaway of the new version.

To accept everyone’s love and give them a sense of security.

“Ji.. Butler crazy..!?”

Sianna, who had become a reservation inoculator for Lenny’s stabilization injection, was frightened.

‘I didn’t do it last time… What should I do…!?’

Her lies were in danger of being exposed.

“What you want is a date, right?”

“Ah..No, it’s okay..! Let’s do it later, later..!”

I started walking while holding the disingenuous Sianna’s hand.

For some reason, Shiana walked like a robot, but she had no trouble going to her shop where she bought white roses.

‘It’s a big deal…’

She was confident in her offense, but not confident in her defense. Shiana creaked and walked along with Lenny.
