When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

urprised right now,” she replied very calmly.
Seta was expecting that, but with a look of disappointment, he stuck his tongue out.

“I know you are ill, but your face doesn’t seem to have any defects.
I’m glad! Let’s take good care of your face for the future.”

“Are you here as my new nurse?”

Laritte, who did not know the true identity of Seta, thought so.
Seta was still lost in admiring her face, but came back to his senses when she asked him.

“No? No one sneaks in for that.
I have something to tell you.”

Seta tossed a dagger over the duvet of the bed.
Its scabbard was made of gold.
Decorated with rubies, it felt very expensive to even look at.

Meanwhile, Seta proudly said, “it’s a dagger made from a dragon’s ribs! Hope you’re happy to accept it.
I picked this up from the rarities.” Laritte didn’t even have the energy to get up and take the dagger.

“Why this all of a sudden?”

“There’s something I didn’t tell the human man,” Seta recalled the past.
Originally, he thought of enjoying the human world for a long time, but he was very satisfied with receiving Laritte’s face, so he returned to his place filled with rarities early.

The head of the Red Dragons asked why he returned so soon.
Seta pouted as he was reminded of the old chief, who already heard of Seta’s stupidity.

“As I learned later, there was another way for the two of you humans to be together.
Of course, since it is only effective for a short period of time, I must say goodbye in the end!”

Laritte was clueless about what Seta said.
She hadn’t heard anything from Ian, so it was only natural for her.
Oblivious, Seta continued happily.

“All objects made from dragon remains have magical power, don’t they? So, they have the effect of protection from the mana of a region.
If you put such objects around you, you can be together.
If so, there will be no more misfortune.
Keep in mind that the effect does not last long.”

“I’m sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about.”

“You don’t have to play innocent.
I might not care, but are you ashamed that I came in person? Were you moved by this dragon’s big heart?” Seta laughed proudly as he looked over the window.
“But where did the man go?”

Laritte knew he was talking about Ian.
She realized why Ian left the mansion.
Raising her upper body, she asked, “could you please elaborate on that story?”

Seta shrugged.
“Why do I have to tell you, human? You must be very proud of me just being here! I’ve never seen a human like this in my entire life! ….I’ve never seen such a beautiful face!” He said enthusiastically.
Laritte wished he would come just down from the window and close it.

Well, he liked her face and had never acted arrogantly.
She laid down on the bed helplessly again.

“You’re very obsessed with my face…..”

“Of course not.”

Good idea.

“You know what? My hobby is to slap my cheek.” Seta hardened.
Laritte continued quietly and timidly, “then my face swells up…..
and someday it leaves a scar.”

“Why would you do such a terrible thing! I don’t understand you humans! Don’t treat your face carelessly!” He screamed, grabbing his hair.

‘Wow, it’s working…..,’ Laritte thought blankly.
He was really a weird person.

“Don’t! Don’t do it! I’m warning you, human!”

“Otherwise, it gets boring.
I’m annoyed that you only talk about things I don’t know.”

“God! Why did you lead Seta to a trial by giving humans something more precious than jewels! As soon as I meet you, God, I will surely have my revenge!”

In the end, Seta had to tell everything.
Laritte also learned the truth.
Ian left for the Capital and didn’t come back for months….
It was because of her.

“…..Why hadn’t Ian told her?” She calmly voiced her concern.

“How would I know? Now that I’ve told you everything, don’t slap yourself on the cheek!”

“I normally don’t do that, so don’t worry.
Nobody does that, no matter how strange a human is.” Only then did Seta realize that he had been deceived.
But he had no way to get revenge.
Because he valued Laritte’s face.
He couldn’t cast a curse, nor could he use magic.
In the end, he got angry and left.

“Bad humans! Humans even deceive dragons! Humans who can’t even live for a thousand years!”

“Humans only live a hundred years.”

“Human talking to a dragon! But please, live long, you rude human! Though you have annoyed me!”

The room became quiet again after Seta left.
Through the open window, the sound of other patients suffering on the first floor could be heard.

Laritte fumbled over the sheets, her hand finding the dagger that Seta had left behind.
