Chapter 30

 

“Hey, don’t force her to stand like that, let her lie down comfortably. The places pressed by your hands will hurt more.”

 

“The one who caused the accident should just keep his mouth shut.”

 

While reacting sharply to Seven’s comment, Ram obediently sat Evnia down on the floor as he had advised.

 

In the midst of this, Evnia kept trying to pull down her skirt hem, and he seemed frustrated by it, so Ram eventually helped her remove her clothes down to her waist.

 

Only then did Evnia’s breathing finally become comfortable. She still couldn’t stand up on her own legs due to all the strength having drained from her body.

 

Evnia felt Ram’s gaze pouring down from above her head, but she was afraid he might be looking at her strangely, so she couldn’t bring herself to lift her head.

 

Evnia barely managed to apologize with a cracked voice.

 

“I’m sorry… You must have been startled…”

 

“A girl suddenly starts stripping off her clothes in the corridor, so of course I’d be startled.”

 

“…”

 

“The apology is fine, so hurry up and button your clothes back up. I have nowhere to look right now.”

 

“I don’t want to.”

 

At the small answer that came from within his arms, Ram stiffened and froze.

 

Evnia pulled at his collar with her weak hands and added in a desperate voice.

 

“I don’t want to wear this…”

 

Ram let out a long sigh at Evnia’s stubbornness.

 

Seven, who had been quietly watching this scene, suddenly interjected and asked Ram an incomprehensible question.

 

“Hey, have you ever hit her without me knowing?”

 

“What kind of nonsense is that?”

 

“She gets so startled and panicked just from having her hand grabbed, she clearly looks like a kid who’s been beaten a lot somewhere.”

 

“When have you ever seen me lay a hand on a woman?”

 

“Right? Neither you nor I are trash who would beat up a much younger girl, right?”

 

“…”

 

“Then it must have been some other bastard.”

 

After hearing some rustling sounds for a moment, soon the pungent smell of tobacco spread all around.

 

Seven seemed to have lit his pipe.

 

This time, Ram didn’t stop his friend either.

 

Seven, who had been silently smoking for a while, clicked his tongue low and said.

 

“Fine. I’ll take care of organizing the groceries we bought, so you hurry up and take her upstairs.”

“…So you’re saying nothing happened until earlier?”

 

“Yes, there’s also the artifact Lord Ram gave me. Well, Lady Evnia’s acting was so incredible that I didn’t even get a chance to use it.”

 

“Well, it’s fortunate that nothing happened, but you should try to stop her from now on. If something big happens… …I told her to rest and lie down, but where did she go again already?”

 

At the voice heard from outside the dress room, Evnia unconsciously turned her head toward the door.

 

She couldn’t see into the bedroom because the door was closed, but she could tell who had come in just by hearing their voices.

 

Actually, she could guess well enough just from the circumstances.

 

Ram had brought her to the bedroom and immediately went back outside to call someone to help her change clothes.

 

She had wondered why it was taking so long, but apparently he had deliberately taken time to hear about what happened today.

 

Evnia hurriedly put her arms through the indoor clothes she had only draped over her shoulders.

 

She was planning to finish changing clothes first and then go out to greet them, but had that sound reached Ram’s ears too?

 

Soon he approached the dress room and knocked on the door.

 

“Open the door. I brought someone to help you change clothes.”

 

“I can do it myself.”

 

“No, you can’t do it alone. If you don’t open this door, I’ll come in and change your clothes myself.”

 

Evnia was a little flustered by his unexpectedly firm reaction.

 

She admitted that she had shown a somewhat improper appearance earlier, but now she had regained her composure and returned to her usual state.

 

This meant there was no need for him to be so unusually overprotective of her.

 

Though it didn’t seem like he would really burst into the room as he had just warned.

 

Evnia answered without hiding her incredulous expression.

 

“You can’t even look at me properly in a chemise, so how are you going to help me change clothes?”

 

“Oh my, a chemise?”

 

As soon as Evnia finished speaking, Hanna interjected with delight.

 

Since a chemise was also a type of undergarment, that mention seemed to arouse somewhat improper expectations in Hanna.

 

Instead of correcting Hanna’s misunderstanding, Evnia subtly planted an idea.

 

“Hanna, I have something I want to talk about alone with Lord Ram, could you give us some space?”

 

“Yes, of course!”

 

Ram’s reinforcement left the bedroom in less than 5 minutes after entering.

 

After a long silence, he muttered as if dumbfounded.

 

“Seven was right.”

 

Evnia momentarily felt as if her heart had dropped.

 

It was because she recalled the last words she had heard before parting with Seven.

 

Evnia tried to produce a nonchalant voice and asked.

 

“…About what?”

 

“You really are like a noble lady. You know how to handle maids.”

 

Fortunately, Ram hadn’t brought up the topic she was thinking of.

 

While Evnia was secretly relieved, he took another step toward the door.

 

Thinking he might come inside like this, Evnia hurriedly adjusted her appearance, but his footsteps weren’t heard beyond that.

 

He asked in a somewhat strange voice.

 

“So what did you want to talk about.”

 

Had he leaned his body against the door?

 

His voice was heard too close by. As if he were in the same room as her.

 

Evnia approached him slowly, muffling her footsteps.

 

She had already finished changing clothes, but she didn’t have the confidence to open the door and face him.

 

Evnia quietly reached out her hand to touch where he might be. Naturally, no warmth was transmitted.

 

“I’m sorry for dirtying the precious dress.”

 

“That again.”

 

“I really didn’t know when I put it on. Now that I know, I’ll make sure this doesn’t happen again, even by mistake.”

 

“Nobody thinks you did it on purpose. I didn’t know either, so how could you have recognized a dress you’d never seen before.”

 

“That’s a lie, you frowned as soon as you saw me.”

 

“That was…”

 

At Evnia’s point, Ram trailed off his answer.

 

She understood his desire to comfort her, but Evnia remembered very clearly the expression he had made then.

 

Because she had hoped he might see her carefully prepared appearance differently, the events that followed were all the more painful.

 

A fall is originally a hard experience to forget.

 

“…Anyway, I wasn’t angry. Seven probably said that thinking of you rather than Nina too. He just has no consideration in his way of speaking.”

 

“Thank you for saying that.”

 

“Huh, you’re grateful, that’s fortunate, but why do I feel like you’re not listening to a word I’m saying?”

 

“I’m engraving everything deeply in my heart.”

 

“Then while you’re at it, engrave this too. Whatever happens, whatever anyone says to you, don’t take off your clothes in the corridor.”

 

“…I know that too. Today I just did it because I was so startled.”

 

“Really? I was worried you might do that again somewhere else.”

 

“…”

 

“I was worried you might have done that before.”
