Actually, I was the Real One

lightly irritated Zeke came forward.

Zeke: “Thank you for saving my sister today.
Our family will repay your kindness…”

Aiden: “There’s no need for that.
If it bothers you, please treat me to a drink over there.
While we’re waiting, we can get to know each other.”

The eyes of the four people spitted fire.

‘Who are you to dare talk to our lady like that?’

‘How dare you talk to my sister?’

Keira: “Okay, but I won’t be able to stay long because my companions are waiting.”

The said companions started losing their battle, at a complete loss on what to do.

Aiden’s smile deepened at her acceptance.

“Whether it’s five minutes or an hour, it’s an honor to be with a beautiful lady.”

The line gave them goosebumps.
It sounded creepy even to Raina, so it was obvious how others felt.

….But of course, the problem was that such lines worked for Keira.

With her cheeks stained red, it was obvious she had already been completely caught.

Keira: “Just a moment, please.
I’ll be right back.”

“Milady… it’s only take a moment, right?”

Keira: “Huh? Of course.”

‘I don’t believe you at all when you say it with such a dazed look.’

However, regardless of the group’s concerns, Keira smiled brightly – a very rare sight – and walked away.

“…”

“…”

“…”

“…”

They felt like they were watching a fluffy chick leave the nursery with a conniving wolf.

A deep silence fell between the four remaining people.

The first to speak was Zeke.

Zeke: “…who was the person who thought of bringing noonim here?”

His voice was sharp and deadly.

Zeke: “No, it’s obvious.
Sir Arthur, it’s you, isn’t it?”

Arthur: “No, its… I was just… I just offered but I didn’t know she’d accept!”

“You started it anyway!”

“Oh, I’m wronged–ack!”

Three fists hit him in the back.

It was unfair.
He understood his anger.
But what about those Reina and Raul?

Reina: “He’s quite popular.”

All eyes were on Reina.

“Does he have a surprisingly good reputation?”

Reina: “No way.
I heard he’s the third or fourth son of a noble.
I think they said he doesn’t have a high title but his family is quite wealthy.
Did they say that he was living like a dog?”

“So, to make it short, he’s a playboy from a well-off family.”

Reina: “Yes.
I don’t often attend meetings for unmarried men and women, and I’ve never been directly involved, but I’ve heard things from my friends.”

“What did they say?”

“If you don’t want to be involved in a scandal before marriage, don’t get tangled with him.”

Ultimately, it was instinct to judge a person by first impression.

Zeke gritted his teeth.

“I can’t hand over my sister to that punk.”

It was common for a Saintess to remain unmarried to protect their image of a saint, but it wasn’t mandatory.

It was possible to get married if they wanted.

They were worried Keira would be the exception.

You’re going to fall for a playboy!

Such a future was horrible to imagine.

Arthur: “The good thing is that his bad reputation precedes him.
It’s better than a guy who pretends to be nice on the outside.
At least we can tell her the truth.
So, go to her, Master.
I’m afraid it’ll all go wrong.
She’ll take it easy when she finds out.”

Raul: “You just saw your sister’s face.
It’s rather counterproductive to gossip at a time like this.”

It made sense, so Reina had no choice but to nod her head.

But when one is wearing rose-colored glasses[2], they don’t see or hear other people’s advice.

“The best way is to get her out of the situation.”

They remembered Keira’s face, flushed.

Would she ever come to her senses?

‘I’m nervous.’

“Ah, I really don’t have a good feeling about this..”
