Chapter 165
“Yes, calm down. You shouldn’t show a humiliating display in front of the woman you love.”
“What? This bastard…….”
“Serdin! I just want to rest now!”
“…….”
Serdin reluctantly backed down, and Psyche immediately teleported to the mansion with him. Rezus didn’t try to stop them. However, his eyes held the certainty that he would see them again soon.
* * *
Rezus was right. She shouldn’t have attended the banquet. After that day, the Arje family heads resumed their activities.
They no longer kept to themselves, and as a result, Psyche often encountered them in the capital streets. She even ran into them many times while dating Serdin at bakery cafés or clothing stores. And no matter how she thought about it, these weren’t coincidences.
Every time they met, Serdin would be furious, calling them creepy bastards, while Rezus, Terche, and Helios would simply pass by without approaching further.
There was also an endless barrage of gifts, and surprisingly, all these gifts were being sent by Helios alone. When she tried to return them, gifts poured in several times over.
She even tried throwing them away, but unable to casually discard such expensive items, she had now given up and was storing them in a warehouse.
It had already been two months.
Rumors that the Arje family heads were following Psyche Rosebel everywhere hit the capital, but they showed no signs of stopping.
“Haah…….”
Psyche exhaled a long sigh as she drank warm milk in front of the fireplace. Looking out the window, the world was completely white. Time had passed like an arrow, winter had arrived, and she usually spent winters at her villa. Alone, with no one else.
How long had she been spending this rare time alone like this?
She sensed someone outside the mansion. Her exceptional senses immediately identified who it was. Terche.
‘……Why Terche?’
Although they had frequently run into each other by chance on the streets during these two months, he had never once come to visit her. If it had been Rezus or Helios, she would have driven them away without a second thought, but perhaps because it was Terche? She slowly rose to her feet. She had something to ask Terche.
As soon as she opened the door, the biting cold slapped her cheeks, making them tingle. As she was infusing warmth into her body, her eyes met with the man standing about ten paces away from the mansion.
“…….”
The man’s blue-silver hair and blue eyes shone mysteriously in the snow-covered landscape. The completely white world made the unrealistically beautiful man appear even more surreal.
She couldn’t take her eyes off the two orbs embedded in his white face for a while. The eyes staring intently at her were like blue flames burning.
“……It’s been a while, Terche.”
She carefully examined him up and down. Terche Fontos, whom she was seeing up close after half a year, had grown even larger, perhaps from constantly being on the battlefield.
More muscle had been added to his already strong and solid physique, and his white skin, except for the slightly reddened tip of his nose, still boasted a clean and smooth texture.
Was it because of the background? With his blue-silver hair, blue eyes, and massive, firm body, he looked less like a person and more like a giant divine beast that might only exist in legends.
Psyche, who had been scanning him with an admiring gaze, suddenly came to her senses when she saw those blue eyes persistently watching her.
“……Come in.”
No sooner had her words scattered into the air than Terche’s eyes lit up as if he had discovered something amusing. The tightly tensed muscles of his cheeks gradually relaxed languidly, and the man tilted his head slightly to one side.
“I was under the impression you’ve rejected all meetings.”
Then he began walking steadily toward her. Regardless of whether his feet sank deep into the snow, he approached with large strides. At that relentless pace, the corners of Psyche’s eyes twitched slightly. A strange pressure could be felt as he came closer.
“What change of heart has occurred?”
“…….”
“Are you permitting me today?”
The man, who had already come very close, looked at her with half-lowered eyes. Psyche unconsciously swallowed dryly.
With the huge, muscular man sending an authoritative gaze right in front of her, she felt pressed down. Even though Psyche had become stronger now, she couldn’t ignore the intimidation coming from the difference in physique.
Being enveloped in tension while looking at the man whose mere appearance made her cheeks flush was also beyond her control.
She quickly composed her expression.
“Permission? I just have something I want to confirm.”
She then turned her body and walked past him. Their shoulders brushed slightly during this, but she pretended not to notice and headed toward the mansion.
“……Let’s go inside first.”
