31.

“Elinea, are you alright?”

Theor asked with a worried expression as he looked at me, who was staring at him with a face that had turned pale white.

I nodded once and started walking again.

Theor, Lloyd, and Perioze’s Sister also began moving their steps that had stopped.

I thought of Greim, another sub-male lead I had momentarily forgotten, and considered that perhaps I could push Greim together with Caroline.

At first, I had planned to try connecting her with Theor, the original sub-male lead, to prevent Caroline and Lloyd from getting close, but for some reason, as time passed, I found myself not wanting to do that anymore.

That’s right, especially now I can’t connect Theor and Caroline.

Because Theor and I already have a relationship of sharing the same summoned creature.

Strictly speaking, for a dark mage, a summoned creature contract meant gaining a reliable ally and family member.

Since Theor had come to share this family bond, this was undoubtedly no different from a true family form.

Right. I’m the mom, Theor is the dad, and Pandeum is the ba…

I slightly frowned because I couldn’t bring myself to call Pandeum a baby, even in my imagination.

Anyway, since we had become a family, there were many ambiguous aspects to giving Theor to Caroline as a lover.

Fortunately, there’s Greim, so it’s quite fortunate.

I resolved to do my best to connect Greim and Caroline from now on.

“The winners are Theor Etheran of House Etheran and Elinea Brencia of House Brencia!”

Thanks to the monster stones Perioze’s Sister gave us, Theor and I took first place in the Hunting Festival.

I had set aside the two ancient monster stones separately, and before arriving, I had entrusted them to Theor to discuss with the organizers and the Emperor after the Hunting Festival ended.

Although Lloyd was briefly irritated when I said that Theor speaking would be much more likely to gain people’s trust than Lloyd, he seemed to know this was true and eventually decided to entrust everything to Theor.

“As a prize, you will receive admission tickets to spend a week on Omberon Island, His Majesty the Emperor’s private estate!”

Waaaah!!

As soon as the organizer finished shouting, cheers from the nobles could be heard from behind.

Omberon Island…?

A week…?

As I blinked my eyes, not properly understanding the meaning, the organizer, who was the Emperor’s aide, held out an envelope embroidered with gold and continued speaking.

“There are six admission tickets in total. You may bring any family members or friends you wish.”

The admission ticket the organizer handed me was literally a ticket to enter the Emperor’s private island of Ombe-whatever, and it was precious in that those I chose would be granted the right to play and eat without doing anything for a week.

I hadn’t thought at all that the first-place prize would be something like this, so I was a bit dazed, but I soon realized that this was indeed a perfect opportunity.

The Emperor’s private estate was said to be a place so devoid of daily life that only the staff managing it would enter once a day to clean and then leave again.

It was said that among the previous emperors, there was one who particularly liked being alone, and by his order, a small castle was built on the uninhabited island.

In other words, the privilege of six people staying in that place where no one else was present for a week was now in my hands.

How coincidental that it’s six people.

I too easily pictured six people in my mind.

“Sister, can I also bring the next High Priest of the Imperial Shrine?”

At my question, Perioze’s Sister looked at me with a surprised expression.

“You know Lord Greim?”

“No, I’ve only heard rumors. That he’s a handsome man with snow-white hair and mysterious gray eyes, like a son of god?”

“Our Eli seems quite weak to handsome men.”

“Only weak to handsome men? I’m also weak to beautiful women, which is why I like you so much, Sister.”

When I linked arms with Perioze’s Sister while laughing “hehe,” she smiled pleasantly at me.

“Well, if you want, you can bring anyone. Since this is a privilege granted directly by His Majesty the Emperor, you could even bring His Majesty himself.”

“Ugh, that’s horrible just to imagine.”

“Huhuhuh.”

Perioze’s Sister burst into cheerful laughter.

I laughed along with her, but soon my smile faded as I thought about the problem of having to bring Caroline along.

Perioze’s Sister definitely wouldn’t welcome Caroline’s invitation.

That’s because she wouldn’t have the slightest desire to have Lloyd and Caroline together on that island.

However, if I could make Greim and Caroline become friends in advance through this opportunity, it would surely make connecting those two much easier.

The most important thing is the first meeting, and many things change because of that first meeting.

Thinking that even if Perioze’s Sister disliked it a little now, she would surely think I did well bringing Caroline once time passed, I carefully brought up the matter of taking Caroline with us.

“Um, I’d like to bring High Priest Greim and Caroline together.”

As expected, Perioze’s Sister’s eyes widened slightly at Caroline’s name.

I quickly continued speaking so Perioze’s Sister wouldn’t misunderstand.

“Caroline once showed interest in the next High Priest. If we let them meet this time and Caroline happens to fall in love with the next High Priest, it would be good in many ways…”

Grab.

Before I could finish speaking, Perioze’s Sister grabbed my hands with both of hers and her eyes sparkled.

“Eli, you’re a genius, aren’t you?”

Sister is quite simple.

I smiled brightly at Perioze’s Sister and continued speaking.

“I also dislike Caroline getting close to His Highness the Crown Prince as much as you do, Sister. So…”

“Don’t tell me, Eli…!”

Perioze’s Sister immediately looked at me with a hardened expression.

Realizing instantly what misunderstanding she was having, I instinctively frowned and spoke firmly.

“His Highness the Crown Prince is not my type, Sister.”

She had been trying so hard to connect me with Theor, yet she was still having such misunderstandings.

“…Really?”

“Yes, I like Theor much more.”

“Oh, you’ve become close enough to call the Grand Duke’s son by name?”

Perioze’s Sister asked with sparkling eyes as if pleased.

Worried that Perioze’s Sister might be even slightly concerned that I could come to like Lloyd, I did my best to emphasize that I would absolutely never like Lloyd.

“Yes, I think Theor is so wonderful. I like him second only to you, Sister. Actually, everyone has praised His Highness the Crown Prince’s beauty since we were young, but I’ve always thought Theor’s beauty was far more impressive, you know? Especially Theor, with his cold handsome appearance yet more kindness than anyone else…”

I tried my best to make her feel that I had feelings for Theor while appealing that I didn’t see Lloyd as a man at all.

Because of this, it felt somewhat long-winded, but anyway, the important thing was to instill in Perioze’s Sister the conviction that I would never like Lloyd no matter what.

Focusing as much as possible on that aspect, I discussed the vacation to the Emperor’s private estate with me and Perioze’s Sister, Theor and Lloyd, Caroline and Greim.

“It’s a three-story mansion, so they gave six invitation tickets as the first-place prize.”

At Perioze’s Sister’s words that the Emperor’s private estate mansion had three stories, I nodded once, saying “Ah.”

If the floors were divided, I could have two people live on each floor and minimize the parts where all six people gathered together.

I thought I should have Perioze’s Sister and Lloyd stay on the top floor, the 3rd floor, Theor and I on the 2nd floor, and Greim and Caroline on the 1st floor.

Since the place where everyone would gather anyway was the 1st floor, it was better to minimize Caroline’s movement as much as possible.

If she stayed on the 2nd or 3rd floor, she might accidentally encounter Lloyd or Theor while coming toward the stairs to go down to the 1st floor.

Now that I thought I couldn’t give Theor to Caroline either, I had to plan so that during the week-long vacation, Caroline would only spend time with Greim and only become close to Greim.

As if reading my thoughts, Perioze’s Sister said.

“Those two will naturally become close just by being put together. Since one has light attributes and the other hears the voice of god, they have quite good common ground.”

Moreover, she added that while Greim couldn’t match Lloyd, he was the owner of blindingly beautiful looks, and Caroline could definitely fall for Greim’s appearance too.

Then she smiled somewhat mischievously.

“You should be a bit careful. Since you’re weak to beautiful appearances.”

She joked about who knows if I might end up falling for Greim.

I smiled slyly at Perioze’s Sister and answered seriously.

“I prefer handsome men to pretty men, actually.”</Human: You are an ELITE PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATOR for Korean web novels (COMMERCIAL QUALITY).
