Became the Son-in-Law of the Traitorous Family

4. Taming the Shrew – 04

After coming out of the slave market and returning to the ground again, the sight of the sunset coming into view caught my eye before I knew it.

Obviously, it was around morning when I arrived at the capital through the warp gate, but the fact that it was around evening after I finished my work gives me a sense of satisfaction.

‘It looks like you really worked hard today.’

I am proud. It was the first time I had spent 24 hours a day this well since I alternated between 3 accounts for the PC Room Double EXP event on Christmas Day.

On that day, watching the scene of an insider couple squealing and playing pranks on each other next to my seat while running the game, even using macros, I didn’t mind. No, I even felt sorry for them.

‘Isn’t it a rule that a cow must be sacrificed for a great cause? They seem ignorant and pathetic.’

Dating your girlfriend and enjoying your youth is something you can do at any time of the year, 365 days a year, but the Christmas Double EXP Burning Event was a special event that only happens one day a year.

No one in the world can deny the fact that my actions are more efficient and the right choice.

“Sei, is there anything you need to do in Jedo before going to the Grand Duchy?”

“There is nothing in particular. If you are in a hurry, you can contact the children under my command using magic, so there is no need to rush.”

“Yuri, what about you?”

“Uh… I don’t have anything to pack in the first place.”

Seeing Yurika embodying the lesson itself that people come empty-handed and leave empty-handed, I naturally nodded my head to her. It seemed that I was an asshole for asking him such a question.

“Hmm, then, now that all the business in Jedo is over, can I just go back to the Grand Duchy?”

So, without hesitation, I tried to move to the place where the warp gate was installed, but I tilted my head at a strange feeling of déjà vu.

‘I wonder if I forgot something?’

What is it? Why the hell do I get that weird feeling that I’m missing something? Is there anything I’ve forgotten here? Or leave someone behind?

“One, two, three… The number of people seems to be right.”

My brain isn’t that great, but I haven’t had much trouble counting numbers under five yet. If I used both my front and back feet, I could easily count to twenty.

And according to my memory, the total number of people at the time of arrival from the Grand Duchy was two, and now the number has increased by one to three, so I don’t think there is anything wrong… ?

But that was the time.

“Brother! It’s a joke! Hey! Aren’t you standing there right now? You human!”

I found a woman running towards me with tears hanging from her eyes.

“… Cirilla?”

“Yes! Seeing her face after such a long time, I thought I forgot my name, but you manage to remember that!”

Seeing Cirilla gasping for breath like a dog in a cauldron of soybean paste, I clicked her tongue.

“Anyway, I don’t have a body head. If you belong to the Grand Duke’s family, shouldn’t you behave in a way that is not embarrassing in the eyes of others?”

“This wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t left me at the casino!”

Watching Cirilla screaming at me, I finally realized what I had forgotten.

Come to think of it, I left Cirilla on the first floor of the casino to have a secret talk with Say. And the next time I got out of the casino through the back door and headed to the slave market so I didn’t have time to retrieve Cirilla.

“I heard that I am the master’s only lady-in-waiting. He said he had no one else to trust but me! But how can you lash out at people like this? My wife once advised me that if a woman gives her heart and soul to a man, she will lose interest and interest from then on. Yes!”

Cirilla dares to raise her voice with a sigh toward the owner, as if the fact that she was almost killed in a foreign country was quite shocking.

No matter how much I think about it, this was my fault, so honestly, I didn’t have anything to say even with a hundred mouths.

‘Come to think of it, after recruiting Sei, I inadvertently forgot about Cirilla’s existence.’

But I think it was inevitable.

Because at this point, the fact that all of Sei’s abilities have a “Upper and lower relationship” With Cirilla was an unavoidable fact itself.

Yes. Just as magma burns fire, just as the frame wingman was abandoned after acquiring Neos, it was only a very natural phenomenon that Cirilla was also eliminated based on Darwin’s theory of evolution.

“Okay. Stop getting angry because I did everything wrong. Sorry.”

But apart from the fact, Cirilla was a family member of mine and hers, so in the end, I had no choice but to ask Cirilla for her forgiveness, saying that I was all wrong.

“… Ha. I really like my personality, so I’m just going to get over it this time. From now on, I won’t really stay still. I will be really, really angry. It’s real!”

“Yes, yes. I’m so sorry that I did everything wrong. So will you forgive me?”

I glanced at Cirilla with an expression of ‘You still love me, right?’, And as if she couldn’t help it, she pouted her own lips.

As I can read women’s minds skillfully, it must have been a message that the situation was downgraded from one Jindo dog to two Jindo dogs, so I was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Anyway, this is why real women are so tired unlike women in 2D. My girlfriends who existed in the monitor always smiled at me.

“… By the way, why are those two of them together with the young master?”

“Huh?”

“One had a secret conversation with her master at the casino, and she is the woman who disappeared somewhere, and who is that snarky girl who reminds her of her dog in the rain?”

Perhaps she was afraid that her character as the exclusive handmaid of the Grand Duchess would be taken away, but for some reason, Sirira looked at me with uneasy eyes.

However, to start with the conclusion, her worries were unfounded, so I waved my hand and said roughly.

“One passionate steamer per teacher.”

“… Yes? I beg your pardon?”

“So one is your teacher, and the other is your successor. Now that you’ve had some time, the time has come for you to do trivial things. Is not it?”

“… What is a teacher who will teach me, and Shima… What was it? What word is that just now?”

Cirilla squinted her eyes as if she didn’t understand what I was saying. It’s a little disappointing, but it seemed that the terms Yagada and Marine Corps were not widely spread in the fantasy world.

“Um… I’ll tell you later because it’s going to be too long to explain right now. For now, I just know that these kids will become exclusive ladies-in-waiting like you.”

“What else do you mean by that? Didn’t you just come to the casino to gamble today? But if you are suddenly notified that you will take in an outsider as your exclusive maid, what the hell am I supposed to do… “

“Cirilla.”

I felt the need to persuade her at this point, as it seemed that if I left her alone like this, her questioning would be endlessly long. In other words, the time has come to cheat her again by talking about her family’s affection.

“Even though you are my exclusive handmaid, regardless of your status, I consider you family. I shouldn’t go anywhere and say this, but more so than the Grand Duchess, who has a façade of a husband and wife relationship.”

“…..”

“I am sorry that I acted on my own without giving you a word of explanation. But, it may sound like an excuse, but I was in a hurry too. I’ll explain everything to you soon, so could you please calm down for now?”

At my sincere words, Cirilla let out a sigh as if she couldn’t help it. It was not a lamentation, but a sigh born of unavoidable resignation.

“… All right. If the young master says so, I’ll let it go for now. Instead, you have to explain everything later. Got it?”

“Yes.”

Cirilla who quietly shuts her own mouth without saying anything to me anymore, as if she fortunately accepted my sincerity.

And seeing Cirilla like that, I smiled inside her. After all, sincerity could not be the perfect thing to scam others.

By the time her group of four, including Cirilla, were quietly walking towards the warp gate, she suddenly asked me a question as if she had suddenly remembered Cirilla.

“By the way, Master, just in case, today, Her Highness the Grand Duchess… So, did she get permission from the madam to come to the casino?”

“No.”

What the hell is he talking about? What crazy b*tch would give her permission for her husband to go to the casino and burn her money.

“… Then, how about she raised the money for gambling by scratching the Grand Duchess’ cards?”

“Of course I didn’t say that either.”

“By the way, Bocchan, do you know this?”

“What?”

“I heard that if you scrape that much money with your family’s official card, the family will be contacted automatically. Perhaps by now, His Highness would have known all about what the young master did in the system?”

At Cirilla’s question, I answered with a wide smile.

“Anyway, I’m going to pay back the principal plus interest, so isn’t it a happy ending?”

****

“You are finally back, Mr. Seo. The girl has been waiting impatiently for when the West will come.”

The Grand Duchess, who came to meet me in front of Grand Duke Sonsu’s residence, looked at me and smiled.

No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think I went anywhere to fight for independence, but she thinks that the Grand Duchess can’t treat me like this. What the hell is that woman trying to do?

“I know you are tired from traveling far away, but I think I have something to share with you.”

“Can’t we do it later? I’m a little tired right now.”

I witnessed the moment I dared to wave my husband’s hand to say that he was tired and not to talk back to me anymore. The fact that something like a receipt was fluttering in the hand of the Grand Duchess who said that.

‘Ah.’

As if she knew that a tsunami was raging in my heart like the Pongpong hyungs who bought a flash without the Minister of Home Affairs’ secret and got caught, the Grand Duchess smiled brightly at me and said this.

“I’m thinking of spending time together with Seo-Bang-nim for the first time in a while, will you allow me?”

I’m not quite sure what the ‘private time’ the Grand Duchess refers to, but at least it seemed clear that it wasn’t the purpose of making Taegeuk through the unity of yin and yang with me.
