Chapter 10-1


    Sion  I dont know, but I know your personality is entric.


    Hte -Me, entric? Hey, Im a really nice person.


    Sion looked down at the bottle of alcohol in silence.


    Hte had consumed about half a bottle and was now drunk, with her posture unsteady and her voice slurring.


    Hte  What did I say when we first met? I said I would speak informally because you were young, right?


    Sion  Thats right.


    Hte  But what if you start speaking informally too? What will be of me?


    Ha spoke louder while poking Sion with her elbow.


    As a result, the calm atmosphere was broken and Sion quickly turned back to Hae.


    Sion  Be quiet, people are staring at us.


    Hte  Let them stare. Who cares if a crazy person like me talks nonsense?


    Sion  Didnt you say. You dont like being called crazy.?


    Hte  Theyre going to say it anyway. Just let them. Itll blow their minds.


    Hat points to the bottle and gives a mischievous smile.


    Sion is so dumbfounded that he cant speak for a moment.


    Sion  Okay, I got it. Lets just go back now.


    Hte  What do you know? What do you even know?


    Sion  Fine, Ill use formalnguage if you want.


    Hte  That wont work. Its not fun if youre being formal. Dont do that.


    Sion


    Sion struggled to hold his cloudy judgment and became lost in thought.


    Ha changed her words for a moment and acted capriciously.


    Even if Sion wanted to match Hae, he couldnt.


    Sion  So youre saying to be polite, not to dry up?


    Hte  Dont bother being polite. If you do, Ill feel lonely


    Sion quickly understood the meaning of her words.


    Ha had never been friendly with anyone before meeting the protagonist.


    Not only did she have no friends, but she also kept his distance from her family.


    She had tried to escape from her family in any way possible because she always felt pressured.


    Sion  Okay. What else can I do for you?


    Hte  Heheh What can you do for me?


    Sion  Shouldnt I know what my sister wants before that?


    Ha squinted her eyes and leaned back, as if pondering deeply.


    After a while, she turned her head.


    Hte  I always think about it, but theres no answer. Even if I do this or that, I dont know if itll work.


    Sion  Other people also think the same way.


    Hte  Why are you thinking of other people here? Listen only to me.


    Sion  Who else would I listen to besides my sister?


    Hte  Is that so? Hehe


    Ha casuallyughs it off and brushes it aside.


    Sion lets out a sigh and brings the bottle of alcohol to his nose.


    Seeing the strong smell emanating from it, he wondered if it was some kind of strong drink.


    <em>She drank this to act tough in front of me. I should have checked beforehand.</em>


    Sion plugs the cork back into the bottle and pushes it to the side.


    She couldnt drink anymore and probably wouldnt have wanted to, anyway.


    Alcohol was just a means of maniption for Hte.


    Hte  So, the conclusion I came to is just die. Theres no need to worry if youre dead.


    Sion  What a great conclusion. Do you want to turn me into a widow?


    Hte  Were only engaged, how can I turn you into a widow? Meet a lot of good women after I die. Hehehe


    Sion  So, youre just going to leave me to die? Come to your senses. Lets go back to the mansion.


    Sion tried to stand up, but Hte grabbed his hand at the same time.


    Hte  Hey. Let me ask you one thing.


    Sion  One thing? If I answer you, will you follow me?


    Hte  Yes. Just answer me one thing.


    Has pupils were suddenly shining brightly.


    Sion noticed that the atmosphere had changed and sat back down.


    Hte  What are you going to do after you marry me?


    Sion  Werent we done talking about that? We agreed not to interfere with each other.


    Hte  What about our sessors?


    Sion  Oh, that? Now it feels a bit more serious.


    Sion gave a faint smile as he read Has thoughts.


    Even if she wanted to run away, she couldnt help but hesitate.


    The n to escape was not guaranteed to seed, and even if it did, it would cause significant harm to her family.


    Therefore, she had to think it over ande up with a rational result.


    Sion  Ill do whatever you want. I dont mind.


    Hte  Does that mean you wont look for a sessor?


    Sion  If theres something that both partners have to do, they have to agree. Its a forced marriage, but we have to abide by it.


    Hte  But you could force me to do it.


    Sion  Its easy to me me as a bad guy but can I really do that?


    Before obtaining the Demon Sword, Sion could never stand a chance against Hee.


    If Hee set her mind to it, she could use magic to kill his opponent.


    He didnt want to provoke Hee and risk his life.


    Hte  Answer me honestly. Im not in the mood for jokes.


    Sion  You probably know better than me. Im being used in this marriage. Ill be the only one to suffer if I fight against you. We could argue from both sides as they nag, but its nothing that cant be endured.


    Hte   You can do that for me?


    Sion  If its not working out, we could say that we tried our best. Or find another way.


    Hte  Heheh What if it doesnt work out?


    Sion  Then its up to you to decide. You should keep your promise now.


    Sion got up from his seat and pointed towards the door.


    He stared at him for a while before eventually standing up.


    Hte  Is that your answer?


    Sion  Do you have anyints if I do what you asked?


    Hte  Did you do what I asked?


    Sion  I wasnt joking earlier. Why dont you try having faith in me?


    Ha quietly followed Sion, feeling strangely sober.


    Sions silver hair looked unusually dazzling today.


    Hte  Then make me believe in you


    Sion  What did you say just now?


    Hte  If you didnt hear me, never mind.


    Sion   You have a natural talent for driving people crazy.


    Hte  What did you say? I couldnt hear you.


    Sion  Forget it if you didnt hear me.
