Lips On The Tip Of a Knife - Chapter 3
Arne quietly shut her mouth. Being a lover , there couldn’t be a real thing like that. As Arne became quiet , the Duchess , who recognized that it was the right time , began a persistent conviction.
” Are you, It’s not that this mother wants something big. I want my lovely and cute daughter to meet a fine and perfect man , make true love and live happily.”
A story I’ve heard again and again. Arne was surprisingly freshly annoyed by the persistent condolences filled with love from her parents . When Arne’s reaction wasn’t cool , the Duchess took the last resort.
“Then just be patient for 3 months. If you get married and live for only 3 months and you really don’t like the other person , you can divorce and return. ”
” divorce ? “
Arne’s ears flashed at the sound of a divorce. The Duchess did not miss this golden opportunity.
“But I have to endure three months. Instead , it’s a condition to kill your temper and not use a sword and live a quiet life. If you don’t like it after trying so hard , don’t ask you to marry again.”
Other conditions were not even heard. When I came back that way , I was told I would never be asked to marry again. The only way to be free from this sluggish nagging!
“Aren’t you enough to withstand in about 3 months ?”
Not 3 years , only 3 months. Knowing Arne’s patience , the Duchess suggested an appropriate period. Eventually , Arne nodded . The Duchess urged once again.
” It’s three months. If I come back before that , I won’t admit it. ”
” Good.”
” Never kill. You can’t hit people , you can’t blow them away. Understand?”
” I’m not confident , but I see.”
Arne accepted. The Duchess looked worried because of Arne’s innocent attitude.
“Then you really have to act like an ordinary lady. “
In my life , I had never been an ordinary lady for even a second , but suddenly , you must pretend to be an ordinary lady. Although she wasn’t confident , Arne nodded , saying she knew. And secretly ,she harbored a great and secret black heart.
“If it’s okay , I’ll just kill and come back.”
Divorce was also annoying.
~~~Arne’s wedding news literally heard and released the West Empire. Sudden marriage?! It is also with nobles from other countries?!
” No , Arne – sama belongs to all of us!”
” Well , Arne – sama is getting married …!”
Ladies fierce opposition followed. It wasn’t just that. There was tremendous opposition from the Golden Dragon Knights , the strongest knights of the Western Empire , where Arne was the knight commander.
” It’s a huge military loss for Arne – sama going abroad !”
” What are you thinking about your Majesty ! Even if Arne – sama goes , grabbing the pants crotch and not letting go , the hat is on the plate!”
“Nonsense! I’ll be against this marriage!”
But what they say is , ‘ When shall I marry that ?’ The elders in the family who wanted to be relieved and wiped their hearts. Especially the royal families. The elders of royal family and the precious daughter of the Emperor’s brother, Grand Duke Brillcht , were losing face after being unable to go to marriage , all welcomed the marriage with open arms. In particular , Ciklion IV’s reaction was explosive. Emperor Ciklion IV , who becomes his boss at work publicly and the great father of Arne privately. Ciklion IV declared.
“In particular , I will seal Arne as a princess and do the best courtesy that can be done in the Western Empire.”
” ? ! “
Why don’t you suddenly rebuke him as a princess , saying that he doesn’t want to marry him with the honor of the Grand Duke?”
“Arne , if the Northern Empire makes you difficult , come back anytime! ”
” No , Your Majesty. That’s a little …..”
He even said to come back if it wasn’t. Whether the nobles were embarrassed or not , whether the elders of the same imperial family were in trouble or not , Ciklion IV was sincere. Arne , who is marrying abroad , might even die , so she wrapped up all sorts of rare items and sent them away. Everyone was moved by the emperor’s supreme devotion , but Arne felt different.
“Overdoing …”
It was too much too much. Even if a real princess got married , it wouldn’t be this much.
“Arne ! You are the future of this country!”
The nobles shook their heads at the appearance of the emperor showing his unreserved affection for Arne. The same was true of Arne. The feelings she had for her big father , the Emperor , have been the same since childhood.
“annoying..”
On the one hand , the Northern Empire. It wasn’t just the West that was overturned by the news of the marriage. The Northern Empire was also in trouble.
“Who is getting married ?”
” The Grand Duke Terneugen ?!”
” Who the hell are you with ?!”
Child of Emperor Zen and second in the current order of succession to the emperor. At present , the popularity of Cassian was significant enough to overtake Prince Edward. The number 1 man who wants to marry and the number 1 man who wants to join the son – in – law were selected by the social world.The dream of Grand Duchess of Terneugen , which all ladies wished for , has vanished. Even though the news of the marriage was making a huge repercussion , Kasian , who was actually the party , was calm.
” So , is there any other story ?”
” Yes , it is. “
Cassian’s finger touched the papers.
“Is it simply because of his mood that bothered Ciklion IV’s attitude?”
While responding to Cassian’s request as if it couldn’t be helped , the hesitation that Ciklion IV occasionally showed was in my mind. I was wondering if there was something in the shape of being regretted by others , but the results of the investigation did not reveal anything.
“But there was one thing that bothered me.”
” What ? “
Alan managed to get out of luck with an unsure of what to say.
” It is said that the Duke of Brillhit has a huge problem.”
” problem child ?”
” Yeah. When it comes to being , the nickname is ‘Imperial Mad Dog ‘…… “
Not even in a dream knowing that the mad dog of the empire would soon be the Grand Duchess he was supposed to serve , Alan said with an expression , ‘ What are all such people ? ‘
” It seems that it is all because of the man who is called this mad dog that it is difficult to find out information about the Duke of Brillcht. Everyone is said to react that they don’t want to end their life because they make fun of it.”
” What on earth are you doing?”
” It is said that people are beating people right before they die.”
” Why?”
” I’m not sure about that. People who were hit are also shy , but they are said to be famous for being beaten . You should never touch it no matter what …”
I couldn’t believe that such a violent man and Arne were from one family . As he recalled Arne’s indifferent face , Cassian smiled.
” So , did you become such a cool personality?”
Cassian laughed while thinking of Arne , who seemed to be cool even if a war broke out next to him. Cassian first returned from the Western Empire to prepare for marriage.I was able to get enough seats to meet again ,but I didn’t. It was deliberately put off for today.
” Your Majesty. It is said that the airship will arrive soon. “
After hearing Alan’s words , Cassian nodded . I was already looking forward to it.
” If you look again , you will have a funny expression.”
Cassian laughed drowsy. Without knowing that the man named ‘crazy dog ‘ is actually a woman , not a man , and that he is the one to marry him….
” Arne , the airship is about to land.”
Arne raised his head at the calm voice of the nanny. The time came to get off the airship.My body was frowned upon for a long time. Eva , her nanny , gave her last call as she watched Arne stretching from right next to her.
” No murder. ”
“….?”
Arne turned his eyes and gazed at Eva at the outspoken warning.Eva once again began to repeat the endless remarks that were brainwashed while coming to the Northern Empire.
” You shouldn’t beat people because you don’t like them , you shouldn’t even stare at them , especially the sword! You should never use black! A smile on his lips , a gentle tone , always elegant and elegant. Just like you practiced! You know ?
” ……”
Arne was silent for a moment.
“What does the nanny think of me as?”
Isn’t it a living murder machine , something like that ? Of course , Arne beats people and sometimes kills them , but that’s all for good reason. Kill a killer , or it was a battlefield.
Anyway , Arne never attacked first . While Arne was resentful , a guard knight approached.
” You have arrived , Her Majesty.”
Arne woke up at the news that he had finally arrived in the Northern Empire . It was the first meeting with my husband that I hadn’t seen before because of Patuna.
” I will finally see the precious face”
The airship’s door opened , and Arne descended , escorted by the guard. The moment Arne showed up , everyone took a breath. Her silver hair shimmered like starlight , and Arne’s face was revealed in the white sunlight. In silence , an indifferent gaze glanced over the crowd. At that time , a man appeared in front of Arne.
” Welcome , Her Majesty Arne. I was waiting.”
A man dressed in conqueror smiled a sweet smile that seemed to melt.
“I am the Grand Duke Terneugen , Cassian.”
Arne’s gaze collides with Cassian’s eyes in the air. Cool and beautiful blue eyes like winter at night. Arne paused for a moment when his gaze met.
“This is Grand Duke Terneugen?”
Didn’t anyone say you were so handsome? And he didn’t even say that he knows his face is handsome.
“……. you”
The man in the mask I met at the party and the man who accidentally reunited in the carriage were here. Arne , who recognized it at once , pointed at me without knowing. Fingering in the first meeting. Everyone in the room was frightened , but only one laughed leisurely.
“Let’s meet again like this.”
Cassian smiled brightly , approaching whether it was fun. Cool silver – blue hair that looked like melting ice shimmered. Arne , who was finally aware of the situation , crumpled her face at once.
” I was deceived.”
Even with a smile that is sweeter than the spring sunlight , Arne stared with cold eyes. His fists cried , but he wasn’t dumb enough to cause bloodshed here. Arne clenched her fist and then turned around.
” I want to go back . Nanny , get on again.”
” Arne – nim!”
What kind of situation is this all of a sudden ? The embarrassed West Empire people were agitated without knowing what to do. Arne was really inclined to go back. Cassian , who gently snatched Arne’s hand , who had just turned around , pulled Arne and held it in his arms. Arne raised his eyes to a series of natural actions.
” I missed it very much , but it looks like it’s not our thief cat.”
” What the hell was the title …”
“Did you really not want to see it?”
” Ugh. “
Arne paused as Cassian made a gloomy expression as if he was sad. It was a masterpiece of someone who knew how handsome he was. While Arne paused at Cassian’s beauty for a moment , Cassian whispered very sweetly.
“Aren’t there any graces to repay me?”
It comes out like that. Arne glared at Cassian with an impression. Just , the moment when anything seems to be going to explode! Suddenly, Arne’s nanny , Eva, intervened.
” be careful, His Majesty!”
The nanny was seriously worried that Arne might run wild in the unusual airflow between the two. So , he had no choice but to take out a number of secrets he had prepared secretly. In an incredibly serious tone. Eva urged Cassian.
“Our Majesty the Princess is very weak! Treat her like a glass!”
” ………… ? “
Arne’s expression was once again crumpled by the unexpected nanny’s words.
” What bullshit are you talking about?”
