The Grand Duchess of the North Is Obsessed With Me

15 – Grand Duchess and Flower Viewing (2)

“You know where to go and move, right?”

“I know roughly.”

Our Grand Duchess, who looks meticulous and demanding on the outside, has surprisingly lax parts.

In front of me, she sometimes flinches and hurries around, but she also looks cute because of her face.

Long live the lookism.

Illensia, the biggest beneficiary of appearance supremacy, was moving her steps sloppily even today.

Looking at the figure of Illencia leading her, I was able to confirm with a small nod of her head.

Well, if I continue like this, I will become a lost child.

It would be nice if Mr. Berman could lead us on his own, but unfortunately he was a man with strong arms and weak power.

It’s like a pet tiger that can’t move to my master, Elencia.

Anyway, I had to find my way here so that I could spend the day safely without any gossip.

Fortunately, this back mountain was part of our territory, so I was somewhat familiar with the geography of this mountain.

Why do you know that?

Because I knew this would happen. No, to be precise, it was because I was also looking forward to seeing flowers with Illencia.

That’s why I tended to be familiar with the road to the meadow where the flower fields were spread out.

The problem was how to stop the bulldozer in the lead….

That’s another specialty of mine.

“Come on, girl? I will guide you from here.”

She moved her steps in front of Illencia, who was leading the way, bent her waist and waved her hand gracefully.

Seeing that figure, Illensia tilted her head while smiling.

“I know the road, too?”

“Oh, how can you let a beautiful young lady take the lead on such a rough mountain road? Schonna will lead the way, so you can follow safely and carefully.”

My excessive bending was like a slave in the Joseon Dynasty, but I was sure.

Illencia, who is weak against praise, will definitely come over.

“Huh, since you talk like that, I’ll listen!”

“Thank you.”

I was finally relieved when Ilensia, who had passed over with a good performance and flattery, gave her the lead with a smile.

Mr. Berman from afar also gave her a thumbs up as if my opinion was correct.

[You were right, son!]

[Cain… Is he a rookie?]

I think I have hallucinations.

Shaking my head to shake it off, I turned away from Mr. Berman’s gaze.

Roughly looking at the sky and guessing the direction, I followed the map in my memory to find my way.

The meadow wasn’t too far away, but for some reason a sense of uneasiness crept over me.

Please, I hope you can arrive safely without any incident.

“Whoa….”

After closing my eyes for a while, I sighed and cupped my forehead. There was no doubt that this was liquid or something.

Perhaps I was right when I saw that the sky, which was so clear, had become so dark.

“Do I really have to do trick soldering?”

I’m not the type to believe in such shamanic things, but seeing what happens every time I leave the mansion makes me wonder if I need to believe in those things at least once.

I made up my mind to retrace my steps when I saw the darkened sky as if it would spit out rain at any moment.

“Illencia.”

“Huh?”

Illencia was also looking at the sky with an uneasy expression, probably thinking the same thing as me.

“Anyway, the sky is not unusual, I have to go back.”

“… Yes?”

I wondered what would I do if I insisted on going to the end, but fortunately, I was a little disappointed, but seemed to understand what I was saying.

I nodded and winked at Berman following us.

Even so, he did not stop appeasing Illencia.

“Come back next time. You better come when the weather is nice.”

“… If not today.”

“Huh?”

When I looked at her at her Illensia’s muttering, she bit her lower lip tightly and her tears were welling up.

“Ugh… why are you crying?”

It was cute and pitiful to see him holding back his tears while shaking his head, as if it was the human heart that he could understand with his head but not with his heart.

However, there was no time to relax.

As the sunny sky suddenly turned dark, it was because we did not know when the rain would pour down.

“… Lady, I understand your feelings, but you have to move quickly.”

Berman, who approached us in a blink of an eye, cautiously spoke to Illencia.

He also seemed to realize that the weather was unusual.

Articles of History With thick dark clouds like that, anyone can tell that the weather is bad.

“I know… there is.”

When Illensia finally swallowed her tears and spoke, Berman, as if relieved, took us down the mountain.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Elencia cry like that in front of someone… I miss you so much

After looking at the sky for a while, I opened my mouth.

“Mr. Berman.”

“Yes, Master Cain.”

“I don’t think I can go down the mountain.”

“…… Yes?”

A question came to mind at the look on Berman’s face as he rushed down the mountain with Illencia.

I couldn’t help but smile bitterly at Berman’s expression, as if asking, ‘Are you not of the same opinion as me?’

Knock——.

A small raindrop landed on my open palm.

Eventually, when water drops began to fall on Berman’s face and on Illencia’s shoulder, he realized the true meaning of my words and hurriedly began to look around him.

“Let’s find a place to shelter from the rain.”

“No, this way.”

It has already started to rain.

I let out a sigh of relief at the well-timed raindrops and navigated myself based on the map in my head.

“If you go all the way up here, there should be a cave where you can get shelter from the rain. Let’s go there.”

“… All right.”

“Mr. Berman, please take Illensia there before it rains any more. I’ll pick up some dry twigs as I go up.”

“I will take the girl and I will save her.”

“We have to hurry before we get any wet.”

It wasn’t a situation where we were wrestling.

Berman, who nodded at my words, lifted Illencia and quickly kicked the ground, and I followed them.

While moving briskly, he began to pick up branches that could be used as firewood.

Anyway, I tried to pick up a lot of twigs, but if they got wet in the rain, they would be brittle.

About two or three minutes on foot.

It was fortunate that there was a cave above where we were located. Fortunately, Berman and I were able to gather firewood and enter the cave before the rain completely poured down.

Shoot aaa——.

As soon as we gathered the firewood and reached the cave, it started raining like a hole in the sky.

“Whew… I’m glad.”

“I never dreamed that it would rain so suddenly.”

After muttering for a while, we felt the temperature suddenly drop due to the pouring rain and started preparing to light a fire.

Me and Elencia gathered dry branches in one place, and Berman broke the large log he brought.

Even with bare hands.

… Um, I wonder if everyone becomes a monster like that when they learn the sword.

I gathered the branches diligently, reminding myself of my promise not to learn the sword again.

“Mr. Berman.”

“Yes.”

“Do you have any ignition magic tools?”

The absence of magic feels great at times like this.

Of course, I don’t have any talent, so it’s only natural that Berman-san is a knight, so he doesn’t need to learn magic, and Illensia, since she’s a grand duchess.

That’s why we were talking about a party with no wizards, just two small pikes per knight.

Normally, Mr. Berman wouldn’t carry anything like an ignition magic tool, but now he’s Illencia’s escort….

“Here it is.”

Of course I expected to carry it.

Phew, if you hadn’t brought it with you, you should have started a fire with the brute force of breaking the log.

Having been handed a ignition magic tool that looks similar to a lighter, I put it on the branch we had gathered.

Hurry up.

After easily lighting the fire with the power of the ignition magic tool, we removed the moss around the tree branches and stacked stones to prevent the fire from spreading to the surrounding area.

Berman stacked logs nearby, huddled around the fire, roughly blocking the wind from outside.

“… Acquire!”

Illencia, whose clothes were relatively thin, let out a sneeze.

It’s cute.

Ah, not this. I sighed and took off my thick coat and wrapped it around Illencia’s back.

“I told you to dress warmly, right?”

“… I never dreamed it would turn out like this.”

“That’s right.”

I didn’t expect the situation to turn out like this.

When I lifted my head slightly and looked out of the cave, it was now dark outside, which was sunny just an hour ago, and heavy rain was pouring down.

“The water won’t fill up, will it?”

“… The cave is a little high, so it won’t be like that.”

“That’s a relief.”

Topographically, there was a cave on top, and the front of the cave had a slight slope, so there was no worry about the water filling up.

The problem is….

“I don’t think the rain will stop anytime soon….”

Ha ha.

At the same time as he let out a small breath, white breath began to spread around him.

If it went wrong, we could have been isolated here.
