What the Hero Wanted Was Me - Chapter 4

Chapter 4

“hehehehe~~”

The elf seemed excited as she hummed and watered the worthless vines.

Apart from her excitement, it was only right that those useless vines be cleared from her garden.

For that purpose, the elven archer of the warrior party in charge of the garden.

I needed Shi-Ruri’s permission.

“Siana, have you been at peace?”

“What… What is a human man…”

She was taken aback by my kind tone. I was using an extremely respectful title to get her consent. After all, elves were tricky.

“I came because I had a request.”

“Please…? Tell me first. I’ll decide after listening.”

I wasn’t sure if this method would work, but I had to do it for the sake of the mansion’s beauty.

“I feel sorry for those flowers. Miss Siana.”

A mindset that empathizes with plants. That was the name of her way of persuading her of me.

“Isn’t it so pitiful that those vines surround the flowers?”

A flower germinates from a small seed to reveal its own color and lives waiting for it to bloom for a long time. However, only the darkness of the vine exists in front of the flower that endures the time and blooms, and their existence is erased.

“Hmm..”

She started thinking for a moment. Conflict between vines and flowers. She was an elf and friendly with nature, so she must have understood that better than anyone else.

“Look at that. The vines are harassing the fragile flowers!”

Wicked vines harass the fragile flowers. I framed the flower as a victim.

Vine would do that to live, but if there was a victim, the story would be completely different. A brutal story of perpetrators and victims.

“Vines are life too, human man. It’s amazing that you understand nature, but that doesn’t change my opinion.”

“Is it the same even if the vines take away the life of the flowers!”

I started putting emotion into my arguments. That emotion is sadness. No matter how cool-headed an elf was, emotions were bound to waver.

“That…That’s…!”

Siana couldn’t speak any more.

‘I was more nature-friendly.’

My victory. Her defeat was due to her lack of empathy for plants.

“Get rid of those vines and spruce up the garden.”

In the end, it was decided to hire a gardener to create a proper garden for the mansion’s garden.

‘Am I working too hard?’

It was Lenny who forgot about her escape, which was her own purpose, and immersed herself in the housekeeper’s work.

•••

“Princess Arya! Please come out and have a meal!”

There was a noise from a maid outside. It was just noise to me.

‘Noisy’

The attendants who called on me day and night didn’t know what I really wanted other than food.

“I’ll leave the newspaper at least.. I left the meal at the door, so you have to take it?”

After hearing the maid’s voice, she heard footsteps, so she felt happy that her noisy presence was finally gone, but felt depressed again when she realized the empty space she had created.

“Lenny…”

From noble mtl dot com

The person who praised me for my actions no longer existed.

‘Good job, princess’

His warm hands always complimented me and never scolded me when I had an accident.

‘Can’t you do that next time?’

He only pushes me with a friendly tone. It was a completely different reaction from the writers called family.

Now that he is gone. I had lost the will to live.

‘It’s boring and boring.’

What is Lenny doing now? Couldn’t he be bullied by the warrior party?

My only attention was on Lenny, so I wondered what he was doing.

‘Wouldn’t it be in the newspaper?’

Since it is near the most popular hero in the empire, I opened the door slightly and brought the newspaper, thinking that I might be able to find traces of Lenny if I read the newspaper.

ㅡSaint Laysha volunteers for children!

ㅡSiana the elf of the warrior party! Slavery is the worst law in the world! What is the intention?

ㅡWizard Sera. Where is her whereabouts?

As expected, the newspapers were plastered with contents about the warrior party, and one of them was found related to Lenny.

ㅡThe Great Change of the Haunted Mansion! The main character of the change is the performance of Lenny, the butler chosen by the hero as a reward.

ㅡ Chiiik!

The newspaper was magically torn to pieces.

‘What is this…?’

It was only natural that she would be happy to see Lenny active elsewhere. Because my butler can be said to be such a great butler.

But when I heard the news of Lenny, who wasn’t my butler, her heart was tight and she couldn’t breathe.

This is jealousy. I knew this feeling better than anyone, but I couldn’t control it.

‘What was stolen can be taken back.’

I hated myself for not being able to do anything while Lenny was taken away by the hero.

But for now.

‘I hate the hero who stole Lenny more than myself.”

I will rescue Lenny from the hero. And then I’ll lock Lenny away so no one can see it.

Lenny spreading her charms was a bad thing.

In this way, the winds of change began to blow in Hwangseong. A little wind called Aria.

•••

“Uh.. What is it?”

Suddenly, chills began to form all over my body. Who’s talking about me

Well, the newspapers are talking about me again. I was moving my feet thinking roughly. Since the mansion had just undergone a major change, he felt tired with a lot of work to do.

‘Once the cook, maid, and gardener were hired.’

Moreover, there were a lot of people to hire, but that wasn’t what we needed to do now.

It was because I was on my way to meet her as there was a call from her warrior.

Listen to your best employer. Cancer.

ㅡ Smart.

“May I come in?”

“Yes, come in.”

The hero sat neatly on the sofa in the drawing room. His jet-black hair, down to his waist, gave off a noble aura.

I put the black tea in front of the hero and sat across from her and waited for her words.

“First, let me say thank you.”

Eren expressed her gratitude, saying that it is fun to see the mansion changing from day to day as it starts to come alive.

“As expected, I’m a teacher…”

“Yes?”

“It’s nothing.”

Eren covered her mouth and let her eyes smile. Calling me a teacher made her break out in a cold sweat.

‘You didn’t notice, did you?’

If you noticed, you would have pretended to know first. It was Lenny who forgot that the hero had a holy sword.

“How are the other kids?”

“Sai isn’t bad.”

Lay Sha sometimes glared at me to see if I was thinking of jewelry, but she was gentle with a heart worthy of the name of a saint. Unless only money is involved.

Shea seems to have loosened up a bit since the last garden avalanche. Maybe it was because I saw the nature-friendly look I showed you the other day.

The sorceress Sera…

“I haven’t had a single conversation.”

She said that the only time she came out of her room was during mealtime and she had no idea what she was doing after that.

Maybe that’s why she couldn’t even say the usual things that could be called her conversation with her.

“He’s a good kid. It’s because he’s not good at expressing himself.”

I was aware that she had a bad past with wizards, so I knew that she would be kind.

However, it was true that it was more difficult to approach because she knew, but she could not talk about it.

‘If I get caught, it’ll be really big..’

She and I spent a long time exchanging letters.

It was three years ago that abnormal signs were discovered in Eren.

‘I want to see your face.’

In the letter, which was usually written in the form of a report about what had happened, questions about me began to be mixed in.

I replied ‘I can’t see’ and that was the beginning.

‘Can I call you teacher?’

She asked if she could call me teacher. I guess she thought of me as a teacher when I told her what to do. After that, questions began to diverge.

‘How old are you, teacher?’

‘Does she have a lover?’

Her questions started to become more personal to her, and since she was working hard, I thought I answered all of her questions and guided her on the right path.

Seeing her grow so well in front of my eyes, I was thrilled with her.

If it’s a personality, it’s a personality. Appearance is appearance. She was a dragon, so everything was perfect for her.

“Enough of the interview. You worked hard today. Go in and get some rest.”

How nice. It was Lenny, a single father who had seen her child grow. Does he know It’s all her plan. Lenny knew nothing.

After entering the room, I decided to enjoy a break after a long time. Sleep is a way to relax. It was also a full-satisfied sleep.

‘Shall I use it after a long time?’

A bottle hidden deep in a drawer contained white petals.

A white rose grown in the North. That was the key to decorating the day.

I used a candle to light the white petals. Then, the incense spread throughout the room and I felt my body become languid.

‘This is happiness…’

I fell into a deep sleep in such a short time.

ㅡKikiiik..

In a deep sleep, not even aware that someone has entered the room.
