# 50

My arm was shaking as it tried to put the biscuit into my mouth.
When Eutias saw this, he smiled brightly and sat down right next to me, then leaned his arm on the sofa and watched me.
“Hmm, usually everyone falls in love with me by this point, but it's a little difficult with Miss Kay.”
Because my arm was moving on its own, I had to stuff my mouth with biscuits, and I said angrily and in a muffled voice as I chewed:
“Just shut up and open the door!”
But he just laughed lightly.
“When things don't go our way, it's best to use the power of books, right?”
He scratched his head and took out a book from its magical space.
The book had a fancy cover and the title: “101 Ways to Attract the Opposite Sex.”
On the book's ribbon, the following phrases were written in bright handwriting:
“The dating secrets of the knight Kilomele, who dated five thousand women, were finally revealed!”
Impossible... Is it possible that he is doing all this based on that book?
“Hmm, the first begins with an unexpected encounter. The second, show off your wealth. The third, a strong man is a real man. ...The fourth, prepare a gift of delicious, hard-to-get sweets.
“It is difficult. People loved me just by my appearance and smile, so I never needed such books before.”
His words echoed in my ears like an echo.
An unexpected encounter... a display of wealth... a demonstration of power...
And giving…sweets…as a gift?
When I remembered Eutias's words in the VIP room, his claim to come because of a headache and his talk about a hundred gold coins, and then I saw the rabbit-shaped biscuits in front of me, I felt a shiver running through my body.
Did he really follow the Bible literally?
But, without caring, he continued to turn the pages with a deep-thought-out face, and then he said:
“What do you think about this one? Fifth, the kiss should be violent.”
Eutias's eyes narrowed as he looked at the book.
A kiss? What is he talking about!
He smiled gently, then closed the book forcefully, and got up from his place to slowly approach me.
"T-Stop! Wait a minute! Stop this! This is a crime, you know?"
“Hoohoo, but Miss Kay’s body says something else.”
As soon as he finished speaking, my accursed body began to move and slowly approach Utias again.
“No...not like that! Stop!”
Utias's face was getting closer and closer.
Please, someone help me!
At that moment, an explosion was heard, as if an eardrum would rupture, and the huge door that refused to open was shattered and collapsed completely.
“Eutias.”
Amidst the thick dust, a low, loud sound was emitted.
With the sound of steady footsteps, Lloyd came out from behind the broken door.
When he saw Jotias beside me, his face convulsed and hardened.
“Ha ha ha, he is the youngest son of the Hilderius family. I thought a hero of justice had appeared.”
Utias smirked, then looked at me as if in an awkward position.
“How annoying, it seems the kiss will have to be postponed until next time because of this intruder. You can look forward to that, Miss Kay.”
A purple magic circle appeared under Utias' feet and began to shine brightly.
He quickly shook his clothes, looked at me and winked with his left eye, and at that moment...
Whoosh!
A glowing red arrow lodged itself beneath Utias' feet.
“Oh... what is this?”
The magic circle in which the arrow was embedded began to slowly lose its light and fade away.
Iotias clapped in amazement as he saw this.
"Wow! Are you able to cast magic without spells like Dabin? This is an amazing development!"
But Lloyd was staring at Utias with murderous eyes.
The killing aura was so intense that it made my skin tingle.
Lloyd who was under the influence of the rebound magic, if his aura was so strong as to prick the skin, then an ordinary person would definitely be seriously hurt.
However, Utias remained standing with a relaxed expression as if nothing had happened.
"Don't get any closer to Kai. This is a warning."
“Ha ha ha ha. This is my wish.”
“Iotias replied with a bright smile and extended his hand towards me.
Strong electric sparks began to emerge from his palm.
I closed my eyes in panic, but I did not feel any pain.
Karak.
When I slowly opened my eyes, I found an electric current running around Lloyd's body, and he let out a low moan.
"See? Who's starting a fight when the person with the Rebound Charm is standing right next to him?"
Utias shrugged, while Lloyd staggered.
“Lloyd!”
I quickly cast a healing charm on him.
[Healing!]°
The healing stick flashed in my hand, and Lloyd quickly recovered.
“Wow, that's…”
Utias's eyes widened in surprise.
At that moment, it seemed as if Lloyd's body had disappeared, suddenly appearing in front of Utias and kicking him in the stomach with all his might.
Bam!
Utias flew through the air due to the force and crashed into the back wall.
“Cough!”
Iotias fell from the wall and coughed up blood.
“Ha, it looks like you really want to fight.”
Iotias wiped the blood from his mouth and smiled faintly.
And the moment Lloyd pulled out a huge sword from his magical space...
“You… Tias…! You bastard!”
The wall next to the door shattered, and Dabin appeared, burning with a red aura and seething with anger.
“Today, I will completely destroy you with these hands.”
As Dabin appeared, Jotias' face turned pale.
"Ha ha ha, kah kah. With a therapist and Miss Dabin interfering as well, I'll be in a disadvantageous position. Don't you know that more often than not is courage?"
Utias coughed up dark blood again and continued:
“I just wanted to woo Miss Kay’s heart, but you are all so cruel.”
He wiped his eyes with exaggerated movements.
Then, “Poof!”, he disappeared completely, leaving behind thick smoke.
“Kh, kh.”
“Damn, he ran away!”
Dabin coughed, gritting her teeth in anger.
“This fucker...!”
Lloyd approached me with a serious face as he inspected the place through the smoke.
"Are you okay? Lloyd."
Was the recovery spell cast well?
I raised my head to look at him as he approached, and at that moment...
Lloyd's face quickly approached mine.
His warm hands gently held my cheeks.
I felt a refreshing mint scent coming from it.
Then, his wet lips touched mine.
“How… how much. Suddenly I remembered something I had to do!”
The shocked Dabin cleared her throat and left the room immediately.
Lloyd and I were left alone in the room filled with smoke and debris.
Lloyd slowly moved away from me, his face as red as a tomato.
His purple eyes that met mine shook quickly, then he looked away.
“I, I... I did it unconsciously...”
Lloyd's face was red to his ears, and he was stammering unintelligible words.
“Oh, right. You said I was the first in your life.'
He had been busy with the business of the duchy lately and had always shown his strong side in front of me, but when I thought about it, I remembered that this man in front of me was so naive that he believed that the child would come as soon as the man and woman woke up next to each other the next day.
Although he is the legal heir to the Duke family, his cultural knowledge is zero, and he has never dated a woman.
When I saw this handsome man with his face red and unable to look into my eyes out of confusion, my heart suddenly moved.
I stood on my tiptoes and grabbed Lloyd's collar.
Lloyd shivered and looked at my face.
My destination, of course, was those wet lips that I had met a moment ago.
‘Lloyd. What happened a little while ago was just a touch of lips, but this... is a kiss for adults.'
I opened my eyes slightly and saw that his purple eyes had widened greatly.
I closed my eyes again and smiled internally.
Eutias, I'm sorry, but I hate perverted lunatics who lock women in rooms and try to force them to kiss them.
This innocent man is my favorite taste.
After that day, the work in the Imperial Healers Retreat became truly arduous and exhausting.
Why?
Because the damned Utias got very angry and told the head of the headquarters that he would not pay a single penny.
Moreover, even though it was Dabin who trashed the VIP room, she came and demanded compensation for the psychological damage caused by Utias and caused a huge commotion.
You completely destroyed the head of headquarters' office.
When the head of the headquarters saw this, he became angry and started quarreling with Dabin and pointing his finger at her.
In the end, the matter did not calm down until the Imperial Palace Guard intervened, and because of that situation, I became ostracized by the head of the headquarters.
So, the privileges I enjoyed on day one dissolved like bubbles.
The wide, comfortable chair, the luxurious desk, and the office with a beautiful view belonged to someone else, and my office became a small, antique office in a forgotten corner of the headquarters.
Moreover, the damned head of headquarters started bombarding me with very arduous tasks.
Because of the annoying patients and the provocative head of the headquarters, the days passed with effort and difficulty.
My colleague Lucy suggested that I tell Dabin or Lloyd, but I couldn't do that because the image of the headquarters chief fighting with Dabin was stuck in my mind.
Last time, they retreated because Lloyd smashed the VIP room and Dabin smashed the chief's office, so their positions weren't strong, but if I told them now, the headquarters chief would surely die or live a life worse than death at the hands of an angry Dabin.
I can't turn Dabin into a criminal.
Therefore, the current stressful situation was easier for me psychologically.
When my head ached from the excessive pressure of work, I would sometimes think of “Mr. Envoy.”
The person who asked about my condition for the first time since I came to this world, and cared about me as if it were his own business.
The person who said my face looked tired and asked me to come back anytime if I felt tired.
Now, he's someone I can't meet.
Before he left for Durkan, when I was suffering from the pressure of working for 16 hours, he came to visit me with a gift.
When it was time to leave, I said goodbye to my colleague and left the headquarters.
In the distance, I saw a shadow waiting for me.
“Lloyd”
“Kay.”
Sometimes he would wait for me in front of the headquarters when his departure time coincided with my departure.
And of course, he had this huge, extravagantly luxurious carriage.
“I plan to go to Mr. Apostle (envoy) today, what do you think? Will you come with me?”
“I will do it.”
Based on his approval, I got into the carriage.
