Between Love and Acting (12)

No matter how much I thought about it, the only high-ranking noble family who I could entrust Rainfield with was the Wades.

I had never regretted my past more than this moment.

If I had known that it was the only place I could entrust to my family, I would never have lived like that.

But I was selfish in front of Ian until the end.

Because I already knew that if I sincerely asked for protection, a good and righteous Ian would grant me.

"After all, there is an assassin who has been attached to kill me, so I am going to live alone, away from my family. Therefore..."

My words didn't go any further.

"Annabelle, stop it. You can stop talking."

It was because Ian slowly bent his legs and made eye contact with me.

"Of course I will protect the Rainfields. Everyone can use the west annex."

Naturally, I meant to put the protection inside Wade's fence.

So that, no matter what, the Wades would get entangled.

I sighed in relief and nodded my head.

"Aaron and Oscar are hired by us anyway. Tell Marilyn to close her dressing room for the time being."

"Yes?"

"You don't think that Carlon will wait patiently for his extradition to the capital, knowing what happened to Lanella and Rayburn?"

Ian said calmly.

"To protect yourself, you have to do it right away as soon as you go up tomorrow."

"Ah... That's right. Thanks. Thank you so much..."

"There is only one condition."

My words were interrupted by Ian's unexpected words.

I was confused and looked up blankly at Ian's red eyes.

A condition, no one else, Ian Wade asked for a condition!

Of course, it was a moment when the back of my head, which I thought would agree with pure good intentions, tingled.

'Is there a single person in the real world that I could trust?'

But I couldn't help it.

"What is it? I will listen to you."

"You come in too."

"...Huh?"

"Don't even think about being alone, you should come too."

I blinked like a fool at the unexpected remark.

"My mother is happy to teach you, and I also want to meet the talented person who said that they were an assassin."

Ian said bluntly.

"No, I would love to meet that person."

If you said that you were a person with more skills than me, were you burning your fighting spirit against someone who was likely to be your real competitor?

"Anyways, that's the condition."

Meanwhile, the ring connected to Robert began to twinkle once more.

No, why did Robert ask for my regards so often at this important time...

Before I could grunt and respond to the ring, Ian was annoyed and pressed the jewel in the ring.

"Don't look at these things, look into my eyes and answer them. As soon as I return to the capital..."
