Chapter 10-1
Sion I dont know, but I know your personality is eccentric.
Hanette -Me, eccentric? Hey, Im a really nice person.
Sion looked down at the bottle of alcohol in silence.
Hanette had consumed about half a bottle and was now drunk, with her posture unsteady and her voice slurring.
Hanette What did I say when we first met? I said I would speak informally because you were young, right?
Sion Thats right.
Hanette But what if you start speaking informally too? What will become of me?
Hannet spoke louder while poking Sion with her elbow.
As a result, the calm atmosphere was broken and Sion quickly turned back to Hannete.
Sion Be quiet, people are staring at us.
Hanette Let them stare. Who cares if a crazy person like me talks nonsense?
Sion Didnt you say. You dont like being called crazy.?
Hanette Theyre going to say it anyway. Just let them. Itll blow their minds.
Hannett 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.
Hanette What do you know? What do you even know?
Sion Fine, Ill use formal language if you want.
Hanette 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.
Hannet changed her words for a moment and acted capriciously.
Even if Sion wanted to match Hannete, he couldnt.
Sion So youre saying to be polite, not to dry up?
Hanette Dont bother being polite. If you do, Ill feel lonely
Sion quickly understood the meaning of her words.
Hannet 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?
Hanette Heheh What can you do for me?
Sion Shouldnt I know what my sister wants before that?
Hannet squinted her eyes and leaned back, as if pondering deeply.
After a while, she turned her head.
Hanette 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.
Hanette Why are you thinking of other people here? Listen only to me.
Sion Who else would I listen to besides my sister?
Hanette Is that so? Hehe
Hannet casually laughs 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.
She drank this to act tough in front of me. I should have checked beforehand.
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 manipulation for Hanette.
Hanette 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?
Hanette 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 Hanette grabbed his hand at the same time.
Hanette Hey. Let me ask you one thing.
Sion One thing? If I answer you, will you follow me?
Hanette Yes. Just answer me one thing.
Hannets pupils were suddenly shining brightly.
Sion noticed that the atmosphere had changed and sat back down.
Hanette 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.
Hanette What about our successors?
Sion Oh, that? Now it feels a bit more serious.
Sion gave a faint smile as he read Hannets thoughts.
Even if she wanted to run away, she couldnt help but hesitate.
The plan to escape was not guaranteed to succeed, and even if it did, it would cause significant harm to her family.
Therefore, she had to think it over and come up with a rational result.
Sion Ill do whatever you want. I dont mind.
Hanette Does that mean you wont look for a successor?
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.
Hanette But you could force me to do it.
Sion Its easy to blame me as a bad guy but can I really do that?
Before obtaining the Demon Sword, Sion could never stand a chance against Hennete.
If Hennete set her mind to it, she could use magic to kill his opponent.
He didnt want to provoke Hennete and risk his life.
Hanette 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.
Hanette You can do that for me?
Sion If its not working out, we could say that we tried our best. Or find another way.
Hanette 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.
Hennet stared at him for a while before eventually standing up.
Hanette Is that your answer?
Sion Do you have any complaints if I do what you asked?
Hanette Did you do what I asked?
Sion I wasnt joking earlier. Why dont you try having faith in me?
Hannet quietly followed Sion, feeling strangely sober.
Sions silver hair looked unusually dazzling today.
Hanette Then make me believe in you
Sion What did you say just now?
Hanette If you didnt hear me, never mind.
Sion You have a natural talent for driving people crazy.
Hanette What did you say? I couldnt hear you.
Sion Forget it if you didnt hear me.
