“So he, is a nobleman from Hesed… Is that correct?”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes, wasn’t there a civil war 18 years ago? He was from the Count Lorgnac family, who were caught up in the incident and collapsed.”

“Hooh…”

I sighed and skimmed through the documents.

Inside were various pieces of evidence that Mishael was indeed from Hesed, along with detailed records of his whereabouts after the civil war. It was all written in great detail, even though I didn’t ask him to.

‘Poor Mishael…’

Until he came to our house and started sucking honey, he must have had a really difficult life.

And at the end, along with a copy of the birth certificate stating that Mishael was from the noble family of Hesed, there were records of his family properties that were confiscated by the royal family at the time.

‘Wow, Mishael probably doesn’t know about this. In the original, did they use this to create a connection between Princess Daniella and Hesed?’

I wonder what I should do. The Mishael in ‘Wildflowers’ is nothing but evil, while the current innocent and pitiful Mishael is obviously a different person.

Ever since the master changed, Black Wings’ resourcefulness had truly surpassed my imagination, so I wasn’t surprised by the unexpected information.

“If you wish, I can immediately contact the Embassy of Hesed in Lycius and get his birth certificate notarized.”

“Oh, you can do something like that, too?”

Thank you, thank you. While rummaging through the documents, I listened to his seemingly biased kindness with one ear and let it go with the other.

“No, but…”

“I-is there any problem?”

“Why are these documents written so formally?”

“Ah, well…”

Marcus, visibly flustered, rolled his eyes uneasily.

It was truly strange. Typically, when referring to a subject of the commission, neutral terms like ‘target’ or ‘subject’ are used, but when it came to Mishael, he always referred to him as ‘Him’ in such a respectful manner.

“Well, aren’t you… investigating whether he is a suitable candidate for you to marry?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“So, he will be your spouse. How dare I… be disrespectful, you know.”

“Really? The information you gave me about my father was written in a completely formal and obnoxious manner.”

“Well, um… Isn’t a couple like that… aren’t they the family you personally chose? That’s because they are the kind of people that reflect the lady’s discerning eye…! Haha, isn’t that right!”

“Oh, I see.”

Somehow Marcus’s words rang like a freshly made excuse, but I didn’t pay it much attention.

“Personally chosen, someone I picked….”

That expression appealed greatly to me.

‘Well, if I could have picked a father, I wouldn’t have chosen him…. Although he truly loved me and I love him too…. But it’s just so hard.’

After my father puts me to sleep, he assigns a butler to watch over me to make sure I don’t secretly go out to play. to verify the legitimacy of the investments father inquired about, I started dealing with Black Wings from a young age. I secretly sent out servants to check if father was wandering in the back alleys, and worked tirelessly day and night to correct the documents Father had handled carelessly…

During those miserable years when I was supposed to save Parma from an apocalyptic ending, time passed so quickly, like a river flowing at night.

‘…When I think about it, I could have just seduced Mishael like this from the beginning.’

Then Mishael wouldn’t have harbored a grudge against me, and there would have been no need for him to expose us internally.

Is this story too consequential? Am I too happy that I found a groom that perfectly suited my standards?

As I was lost in various thoughts, it seemed like I had a smile on my lips without realizing it.

“Is, is he that good?”

“Huh?”

“I mean… the person you’re going to marry.”

“Yeah, I guess. He’s so obedient and sweet. I’d like to introduce him to the Black Wings’ members as well, um… He’s so pure for his rough life, bringing such a person here is a bit hard.”

“Oh… I see…”

Marcus’s face looked quite troubled when he heard my reply. It felt as though he was shivering…

‘After all, isn’t it rude to brag about one’s lover?’

Without paying much attention, I quickly flipped through the documents.

“Hmm… Yeah, this should be enough. Can we restore his power in Hesed?”

“It seems difficult as the royal faction’s resistance is still strong, and Lorgnac’s distant lineage have stayed hidden for quite some time.”

“I see… Well, if I marry him, he’ll become a noble in Lycius too. Thanks to that, I won’t have to spend money on making my husband a noble. It seems like he’s lost the opportunity to be ordained as a priest….”

“Are you really planning to get married?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Why do you keep asking?”

“Well…”

“Based on the result of the Black Wings’ investigation on my marriage meeting partner last time, you highly recommended him.”

“Yes, um… that’s right.”

Why, did it feel strange to them that the girl they’d known since she was little was getting married? I glanced fleetingly at Marcus, who was scratching the back of his neck, and put the documents into an envelope with a thud… Then, I suddenly had a curious question.

“Oh, right.”

“Yes?”

“The information you investigated at that time. Didn’t it say in there that he owned some kind of business? That it would fit in with our company?”

“Ah, yes…”

Marcus’s eyes rolled towards the ceiling, as if he was looking at the document he had filled out.

“So then, Mishael… owned a business?”

“Ah…”

I-I-I forgot to write it down on the document, the hesitant Marcus mumbled with a cloudy expression.

“That… he’s ghostwriting… that kind of work.”

“What did you say?”

“W-writing down… what the client wants… Like letters or something like that.”

“Oh my god…!”

Ghostwriting!

Regardless of whether you can call that a business, I find it cute that he does such a meticulous job to earn money. I wonder how much money he earned from that, considering how he diligently saved that money to buy a villa in Tridon…

How long did it take, exactly?

Has Mishael been keeping me in his heart for such a long time?

And…

‘To think that innocent and naive Mishael would do business, he must have endured so much pain all this time!’

I could hardly contain myself at this sudden burst of love for him. My heart was beating too loudly that I didn’t even think about how his ghostwriting job had to do with our company.

‘I just need to confirm this much today and then leave.’

Actually, I originally planned to say a word about how they failed to properly fulfill their bodyguarding duties in Tridon. No matter how much Mishael used his divine power, they should have tried their best to complete the mission, but there was no sign of such a situation.

But, if I said something unkind to someone else during this pleasant moment, it would ruin the mood.

‘The issue on Mishael’s status is also resolved, and most importantly… I also found out that Mishael is doing such a job to make some cute pocket money.’

Ever the gracious employer, I paid him generously for a job well done and left.

When I received the escort of the Black Wing guild members and exited the back alley, Parma’s carriage was waiting at the entrance of the alley.

“Have you finished your work?”

The one who greeted me was Mishael, who had come here together by carriage.

He said he had been on vacation from the Holy Kingdom for the Spring Flower Festival and had been staying at our mansion ever since. Just like before he went there, he insisted on staying in my room under my bed, so, well, cough, we were able to have plenty of time together.

And today was the day he returned to the kingdom, so we stopped by the city for shopping on the way back. During that time, we visited the Black Wing, but I couldn’t let him accompany me while I received information about him, so I had him wait in the carriage.

Most of all, I couldn’t take Mishael to such a dangerous place alone.

“Yeah, were you waiting long? Sorry.”

“No, it’s fine. It made me uneasy to send you to such a dangerous place alone, but… I was wondering if I can get involved in your important business, Miss.”

To call it an important business… It was merely an investigation about Mishael. I answered fussily, hiding my slightly pricked feelings.

“You’ve been watching everything I do from the sidelines since a long time ago, so where do you draw the line at getting involved or not. It’s just… I feel a little sorry for taking you to such a dangerous place. Besides, all the requests to the guild are like that…”

“If you say so, Miss.”

After saying that, Mishael tapped the curtain of the carriage window. Somehow, his gaze towards the entrance of the Black Wings seemed to shine sharply… Could it be because of his physiological aversion to the underworld?

I cupped his cheeks with both hands, hoping that his trauma wouldn’t get triggered for no reason.

“Don’t worry, nothing happened.”

“Are you really sure…?”

“Well, even though it may seem that way, ahem, perhaps because I spend a lot of money, people are courteous and respectful to me.”

“In that case, I’m glad.”

Mishael closed his pretty eyes and smiled softly.

Ah, this is a good life.

Even though I tried not to think about Mishael entering Princess Daniella’s harem, the truth was, Mishael was a perfect man according to my preferences. so I couldn’t help but be vulnerable to his smile and his pitiful begging.

To think a son-in-law of my type was just this close… I had to restrain myself from saying foolish words.

Perhaps because of my intense gaze, Mishael lowered his head shyly and swallowed my lips. We kissed lightly for a while, biting into each other’s lips and probing with our tongues to see what was inside.

“Miss, this feels like a dream.”

The next thing I know, Mishael’s embrace tightly wrapped around my body. His center hardened again, probably due to the illness that still wasn’t getting better, but well, i​​t’s not like I have to worry about what other people think anymore.
