The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

169 – Return (1)

“Master. “You should never look outside.”

Kayla held on to the window curtain in a very nervous voice.

However, the noise of people was seeping in through the cracks in the door.

As soon as we arrived in the capital, Julia made a special request to me.

‘Never open the window or look out.’

I thought I knew why Julia had paid attention.

The moment I entered the front door, I was shocked to see people gathering.

The festival was already in full swing in the capital.

In the meantime, the main character of the festival arrived, so it was natural that attention was focused.

Most of the people living in the capital are probably gathered here.

The good news was that the knights in the capital were controlling the people in advance.

Thanks to this, people did not get stuck in the carriage.

“Let’s just wait until everyone arrives at the palace.”

“Yes. All right.”

Everyone cowered with a nervous expression, but Celica was different.

He was alone, enjoying the cheers of the audience with eyes filled with anticipation.

If I were allowed to, wouldn’t I open the window and enjoy the cheers?

Meanwhile, Erina was alert to her surroundings with her heightened alertness even higher.

“Erina. “Don’t be too nervous.”

“…It’s okay.”

Upon arrival at the palace, an investiture ceremony will be held. In other words, she had no one to take care of Erina.

I was already so sensitive that if I had an accident, there was no one to stop me.

“Kayla. Serica. Tyria.”

“Yes. “I’m listening.”

“I will ask that nothing happens while I am gone.”

These are the only people who can stop Erina.

I didn’t say it directly, but I hoped you understood what I meant.

“Don’t worry. “I will stay calm.”

“Seohyun, please complete the investiture ceremony safely.”

Celica and Tyria gave answers to reassure me.

“…I will be careful.”

Surprisingly, Kayla spoke in an uncertain voice.

She asked Kayla again, just in case.

“Kayla. Got it? “Never cause trouble.”

“Yes. All right.”

It was definitely the right answer, but strangely, the answer had no power.

After Erina changed, Kayla also changed a little.

The number of times she competed with Erina to sharpen her edge decreased and she became calmer.

However, as she continued to behave in a blunt and businesslike manner every day, she seemed downcast.

‘Maybe it’s because of what happened last time?’

An elf dagger given to me as a gift by Tyria.

Kayla didn’t say much when she saw her dagger, but she obviously couldn’t care less.

Erina simply ended up being jealous and jealous, but Kayla seemed to be in her troubles.

‘Should I comfort him later?’

She had spent a lot of time with Kayla recently.

I didn’t have time to take care of Erina, and Kayla was busy getting to know her colleagues.

Still, if I made time, I could have spent time with Kayla.

I couldn’t take care of her properly.

‘We should talk about it together tonight.’

Unlike Erina, who always keeps quiet even though they are together.

Wouldn’t Kayla be honest about her concerns?

“I think we are slowly getting closer to the palace.”

Before we knew it, people’s cheers were decreasing.

She finally pulled back the curtains on her window and saw a tall castle in front of her.

Not long after, the carriage stopped and the door opened.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

The driver opened the door for us with a tired look.

He also seems quite tired of the crowds and cheers.

She thanked him for his hard work, gave him a tip, and sent the carriage away.

And in the procession that followed, Julia caught up with us.

“We’ve finally arrived.”

Julia looked up at the towering castle with a leisurely smile.

She could only notice that her face was a little stiff.

Is she also not very happy about entering her palace?

“From now on, maids will respond.”

“What should the rest of my colleagues do?”

Then Colin followed behind.

“I will guide her colleagues to the mansion.”

Anyway, no one could come in during my investiture ceremony.

Rather than waiting endlessly, it was better to rest at the mansion beforehand.

Above all, we were able to prevent Erina from having an accident while out and about.

“I can finally see my children.”

Celica thought of the children and sighed in relief.

She says she has never been away from her children for this long.

According to Colin, she said everyone was doing well, but she must have been anxious because she couldn’t see him in person.

“I’ll be back soon. I’m waiting for you.”

“Yes. “We will go back to the mansion.”

“Seohyun, please return safely after the investiture ceremony.”

When it was time to part ways, Kayla and Tyria saw us off.

But Erina was the only one who was wary of her surroundings with her anxious eyes.

“Erina.”

Erina only made eye contact after I called her name.

An uncomfortable feeling was revealed on her face, as if she did not like this situation.

“I’ll be back soon. “I’m waiting quietly at the mansion.”

“…Can’t we go together?”

I held on to the voice full of regret, but I couldn’t listen to it.

After soothing her for the last time, I was finally able to get her to drop.

“If something happens… “

“That won’t happen. “Don’t worry too much.”

Perhaps she could sneak into her palace and cause trouble?

This was the part I was most concerned about.

“Everyone, please wait at the mansion until I return. Got it?”

It may be a bit forceful, but I emphasized it countless times for Erina’s sake.

Julia shook her head with an expression of disgust.

“We don’t have much time. “Say goodbye quickly.”

As the people around her continued to urge her, she could not take any more time.

“Don’t worry too much.”

“I will follow your orders.”

“I will wait until Seohyun comes back.”

Everyone answered in turn, but only Erina did not open her mouth.

As the attention of those around her naturally focused on her, Erina lowered her head as if she was intimidated.

And he barely answered in a very quiet voice.

“Yes…”

It was only when Erina finally finished answering that things could be resolved.

It wasn’t until Colleen took the lead and led her colleagues towards her mansion.

Only Julia remained around me.

“Ha… “Finally, we’re alone.”

“I’m sorry. “Her colleagues took too much time.”

Still, Julia smiled as if she understood.

Since we have been in a relationship for a long time, I think I have become familiar with my colleagues.

“Anyway, let’s go in. “I also want to return to the request center quickly.”

Fortunately, I was able to relax because Yulia accompanied me.

Numerous maids and knights were already greeting me at the main gate of the castle.

A red carpet and a procession of people that were not easily seen in the world before.

Before taking her steps, Julia naturally crossed her arms next to me.

She was startled and tried to shake off her arm, but Julia held her arm tightly.

“Why are you so surprised?”

“It’s strange that you don’t startle when you suddenly cross your arms.”

If Erina and Kayla had seen it, they wouldn’t have knocked down Yulia right away.

She knew that, so she also approached after confirming that her colleague was gone.

Was this the reason why I kept checking my surroundings from earlier?

“The party is continuing inside the palace. “Of course you have to have a partner.”

“I didn’t know this.”

“If it’s not me, you could choose a suitable partner, but there’s no reason to do that.”

In the first place, I had never heard that a partner was needed to enter the palace.

I’m sure Julia, Colin, and the other maids all knew.

And if you were a partner, you had the option of bringing one of your colleagues.

But Yulia immediately frowned.

“Are you really going to bring that girl to her palace?”

I naturally closed my mouth at her words.

I was the one who pushed Erina not to enter the palace in the first place.

Even if she had known in advance that she needed a partner, she would have tried her best not to bring Erina.

‘Of course I couldn’t have brought other children.’

Kayla had to hide her identity, so she could not enter the palace.

Tyria, an elf, was worried that her attention would be focused on her, so she could not join them.

Although Celica was suitable, there was no way she would have agreed to be with Erina.

It would have been better to attend Yulia’s party with her, as she had intended.

“And then. “You are not the only one who has received a title.”

“…Is it the same for you?”

“I am not a knight, but a count.”

Considering her accomplishments so far, it was natural for her to receive a title.

However, the fact that she received the title directly from the king was significant.

“Anyway, I’m sorry for hiding it.”

“No. Rather, I am grateful.”

Rather, she hid the fact out of consideration for me.

Thanks to this, her colleagues didn’t have to fight over the partner position, so can we say it’s a good thing?

Instead of Julia apologizing, I had to thank her.

“Okay. “Then let’s go in.”

I walked into the palace with Julia.

As I walked slowly, the maids around me lowered their heads.

The knights drew their swords and raised them high into the sky.

When we finally passed through the huge castle gate, a loud voice echoed throughout the hall.

“Knight Seohyun, Count Julia is entering!”

Then the noisy banquet hall suddenly became quiet.

Numerous eyes focused on us.

‘It’s incredibly spacious.’

The most magnificent and noble place in the kingdom.

It was also the most luxurious place.

A luxurious chandelier was shining brightly on the ceiling.

There were many beautiful decorations and statues.

Nobles from numerous kingdoms gathered there.

There were some people who looked at us with interest, but most of them were wary and hostile.

‘The atmosphere is scary.’

Although large orchestra members were playing peaceful songs.

Between them, cold silence and heavy energy flowed.

“Why are you so nervous?”

Yulia, who was next to me, smiled and held my arm tightly.

However, a slight tremor was conveyed through my forearm.

Also, her eyes were wandering around, which was unusual for her.

Is she trying to protect me even though she is quite nervous?

“It’s nothing.”

Ironically, seeing Yulia’s appearance made her relax.

Anyway, even if it is a title award ceremony, it is just a show.

Let’s just focus on doing what needs to be done and getting out quickly.
