"Hmm!"

When she finished assessing the situation, Esily let out a cough, then took the papers he had spread out and put them back in her thigh. This is called the destruction of evidence.

After that, there was a brief silence between me and Esily.

It was a blessing to have a perfect understanding of each other, but the situation wasn't smooth enough to reveal that fact.

The elf is watching this way. The burden of that fact is now born not only by me but also by Esily.

"Sir Theorard. If you've done something disgraceful, apologize somehow on behalf of the family."

Sustained silence casts doubt. Esily, who was somehow continuing her conversation, knocked on the table.

His gaze was directed toward the orchestra, seated in the corner. Looking back, wondering what was going on, the band, well-dressed in tailcoats, received Esily's signal and started playing music hastily.

A little louder than usual, but not calm melodies fill the hall of the ball.

"Esley. No way...."

Shh….. Esily raised her index finger and drew attention to me again. I can't tell you yet. With a small kiss on the lips.

─ Come on! Noble ladies and gentlemen!

The servant in charge of the party raised his voice using amplification magic. The aristocrats in the hall, as they were accustomed to, paired up with each other and smiled joyfully.

─ It's time to make the party a grand finale! Join hands and gather in the center of the hall! Show off your graceful movements under the night sky, blessed by the god of light!

As soon as the servant's words finished, the nobles moved to the center of the hall in pairs of twos and threes. As if riding the flow, the sound of the orchestra gradually increased.

Esily whispered in a very small voice as she stared at him in awe.

"Sir Theorard. Drag me wild, like you were offended."

"How can I treat you harshly?"

"It's a kind word, but cover it up for now. Avoiding the suspicions of the elf is the first thing, right?"

'Exactly. The elf was still watching this way. As if something is suspicious. If I act lukewarm here, Esily's hard-prepared plans will go to waste.'

 I nodded her head, got up from my seat, and pulled Esily's arm roughly.

"Kyaa-!"

After screaming, Esily was dragged into my arms as if she were about to fall. I felt the soft touch of her breasts, but now is not the time to care about that.

I muttered in Esily's ear.

"What should I do now?"

"... Just in case, let's go to a place as far away from the elf as possible. By the way, Sir Theorard. I didn't mean you to pull this hard."

"Is there any problem?"

I asked because I was genuinely curious, but Esily just swallowed the words hesitantly.

I didn't have to stay still anyway. I led Esily and walked as far away from the elf as possible. It was only after she reached the corner of the hall that she stopped and looked back at Esily.

"Now…"

"Let's Dance."

'Dancing? Didn't we come here to talk?'

After being in a daze for a while, I understood the scenery around me.

"Right. Everyone is dancing, and if we are the only ones standing there, we will get suspicious."

"It's not like that."

"Yes?"

"I just wanted to dance with Sir Theorard. You usually do nothing but read and enjoy only static hobbies. It's been almost three years since you've been to a prom, right?"

Esily grabbed my left arm, grabbed her right hand, and interlocked it. The soft smile on her lips is both embarrassing and classy.

"So let's have a little fun~"

Having said that, I couldn't even say I didn't like it. I smiled thinly and hugged Esily's back.

"I will."

As the upbeat music rises, Esily and my feet move as one body. But now and then, when her feet twisted and tripped, Esily corrected my gestures with a small chuckle.

The circle dance , which I learned but did not enjoy, met Esili and became a flower. It felt like her happy scent was seeping into my inner world.

"Sir Theorard?"

But it's a happiness that doesn't last long. As she danced, Esily changed her expression and whispered so that only I could hear her.

"Now tell me. Exactly how old the elf is."

"Ah. As far as I know, she is two hundred and fifty years old. Her magical ability is also comparable to that of the archmage."

"Okay…."

Her reaction was aloof, as if to some extent expected. Esily asked the question again, moving her feet to the beat of hers.

"Is there any other information you know? Is that why elf play slaves?"

"Her temper is masochist and perverted. Other than that, I don't know anything yet."

"Hmm. I do not know. In my opinion... she is not a normal elf after all."

"Not a normal elf?"

"It's just speculation. It bothered me that when I asked her to name her, she didn't answer right away and was evasive. In addition, at lunch today, I saw a strange hostility in the elf's gaze looking at me. Is this really just a monopoly desire?"

After a full turn, Ashley and I switch places.

"What do you want to say?"

"Just. It seems unlikely that the elf was accidentally sold to Sir Theorard."

"I am embarrassed. She was right."

"It's something I don't know. There is no circumstance that can confirm the identity of the elf."

"Me too. Then, first, I'll look for information about the Great Forest. It's a veiled space, so there may not be much to know, but it's better than not doing it."

"Thank you, even if it's just words."

"It's not just words."

Esily, who smiles mischievously, glances toward her entrance. The elf was still watching from this side.

"Anyway, the elf seems very angry. Wouldn't it be nice to see Sir Theorard dancing happily with another woman?"

"How do you know that?"

"It's a woman's intuition. Anyway, if things go on like this, it seems that Sir Theorard will suffer quite a bit from the elf. In the worst case, the elf might take Sir Theorard to the Great Forest."

I sighed and grabbed Esily's hand.

"No way! I have a mission to protect my family."

"Gee, calm down. Because you're assuming the worst-case scenario. There must be a way out."

"Way?"

"Yes. It's a way to go against Sir Theorard, though."

"It does not matter. If only I could temper the elf's anger."

"Then… It will hurt a little."

'Hurt?' The moment I thought I was going to say something, Esily removed her hand from his interlock and swung it at his cheek.

Slap!!

His jaw turns, and his vision blinks. The music of the orchestra stopped, and the dancing nobles paused and turned around. As she turned her head away in embarrassment, Esily grinned eagerly.

'Like a fight'

Oh!! It sounds like she is trying to kill the elf's anger by acting at a distance. In addition, since she committed violence in front of everyone, the elf would not suspect that it was an act.

Convinced, I let out a clearing of my throat and trimmed my collar neatly.

'But how do I make it look like we fought?'

I had never fought Esily before. Even if it wasn't Esily, I've never had an argument to the point of verbal abuse in my life.

However, there were too many eyes watching this place to go over it roughly. Besides, shouldn't we trick the elf? After hesitating for a moment, I hurriedly grabbed Esily's chin.

"It's a sex thing."

I tugged Esily's chin toward mine and lowered her head gently to her eye level.

"Someday I will make you mine."

Esily's eyes widened. Her cheeks were flushed, and her mouth was hung open.

Esily would also do her acting. After I nodded her head to see what I meant, I let Esily's chin go and walked towards the entrance.

The elf who was waiting for me naturally ran towards me and tangled in my arms. The way her soft breasts were wrapped around my arms was strangely bothering me.

"Master. Are you okay?"

There is a feeling of satisfaction in the red eyes that worry about me. Thanks to it, I feel relieved, and my whole body feels drained of energy.

"Don't worry too much."

"Hey.... If you don't mind, would you like to touch my breasts, Master?"

"I don't need it, so go away."

When I noticed again, the elf hesitated and walked away from me. I blatantly clicked my tongue and glanced behind her.

Esily was staring at me as if it were natural.

'Please.'

I had no choice but to leave the cleaning up to Esily. I bowed lightly and then left the annex.

****

Meanwhile, Esily couldn't help but stare at the entrance to her outbuilding with her blank eyes. Her pounding heart. She was not calming down.

'It's an angry thing...?'

She knows it's acting. But what she couldn't help knowing was human emotion. For no reason, her face turns red, and her breathing is exhilarated.

One of the nobles, who was puzzled by her appearance, lightly grabbed Esily by the shoulder.

"Lady Esily. Why on earth did you hit Viscount Theorard for?"

"Ep, yes, tell us?"

Esily was belatedly brought to her senses after shedding a bewildered voice.

"Oh, well. I was inadvertently started as he suddenly tried to kiss me. There is no other reason."

"Hehe. You mean you slapped him on the cheek for trying to kiss you? Even though you're engaged?"

"Right. I was acting like an idiot. That's not okay."

The shy aristocrat soon burst into a wild laugh at her. Seeing Esily's shy appearance, she dismissed the incident that had just occurred as a 'love fight between immature young people'.

"Please. You're fighting over nothing. Is it the spirit of youth? Anyway, let the orchestra continue to play! The main character of the party has gone, but we can't ruin the ball like this!"

When the nobleman clapped his hands, the orchestra started playing. In the midst of the breezy melody, she saw noble ladies and young gentelmen who were making a fuss and flirting with their imaginations.

'I'm embarrassed for nothing, so I have nowhere to look.'

"I'll just go."

She left the ball overflowing with dancing and chatter, which was featured in asking for understanding from the nobles around her, and arrived at the special room in the annex.

After closing her door and walking forward, she sat down on the bed that was being carried and calmed her trembling heart. But when she tried to calm down a little, the sound of Theo Rad's words suddenly played in her head.

—I will make you mine someday.

Words that would never come out of Theorard's mouth. That's why it was more shocking and stimulating.

Esily remembers Theorard's appearance from a while ago. The light brown eyes of his, like those of an autumn wheat field, were sharply narrowed as they stared deeply at him, as was the cold tone that flowed from his slightly twisted lips.

It was a side that would never be seen in the usual caring and good-natured Theorard. Her face is hot for no reason, and her lips are becoming dry while trying to make a moist kiss.

"Silly…."

'I told him to get angry, but what if he seduces me?'

─ I will make you mine someday.

The voice is playing again. But she didn't hate it that much.

Esily lifted a pillow near her and held her tightly in her arms, making her face blush.

"Fool Theorard."

'It seemed that I would not be able to fall asleep easily today.'
