“Aiden?”

“Unfortunately, I am not the Grand Duke.”

“Who, who are you?”

The other man she saw was in front of her.

Vivian pulled up the quilt reflexively, thinking that he had shown a defenseless appearance to others.
But it was strange to see him for the first time, as if she had heard his voice somewhere.

She stared in turn at his new white gown, glasses on his nose, and a strange gaze with his hair that had yet to shake off her sleepiness, and then she let out a blank exclamation.

“You are a senator.”

“Well, it’s similar.”

“What else is similar?”

“No.
Think of it as a member of the legislature.
Most of what I actually do is a member of the council.”

What are most legislators? Kilix spouted suspicious words and looked at her face and said.

“Did you have a nightmare?”

It was not a question, but a confirmation, so Vivian nodded without saying much.

“Master… no, His Grace is in the parlor below.”

“Why? He said he’d never let me go.”

“Did you even say that? Damn it.”

“No, why are you swearing?”

Vivian asked back in embarrassment.
Kilix shook his head, clenching his fist.

“Nothing.
Anyway, he left me here asking me to be your knight.
It was a mistake to hang out with the Grand Duke yesterday.
He dragged me for no reason, and I don’t know why I’m here.
Why the hell am I here?”

“…….”

He seems to be very sorry about the current situation.
Vivian was still out of her mind, listening to his complaints for a long time and wondering if he ‘fell in love’.

As such, Kilix seemed very unhappy about the connection between Aiden and Vivian.
The expression ‘couple to be ruined’, which sometimes mutters like chewing, was so desperate that it could only be said to be sincere.

“I was a fool to give advice and support.
Anyway, I enjoyed it yesterday.
The heart of the window and the rose road on the floor are very impressive, and I think he will remember it for the rest of his life.”

He pretended to be giving out a compliment, but he was obviously making fun of her.
Vivian blushed at once because she was ashamed of herself.

It was done with the determination to just pretend to be crazy and do everything she can if she’s going to confess anyway and feel ashamed no matter what she do.
There was also a calculation that he would accept it as if he could not win because it was so ridiculous.

To make an excuse, Vivian had a narrow choice because she could not leave the mansion.
If Aiden wants to prepare food and wine, it will be made by the servants of the Grand Duke’s mansion, which would be funny to take credit for.

However, now that she looks back on it, she thought it’s a relief that she didn’t put a note in the book.

She stuttered in shame, thinking she wanted to dig in.

“Well, I didn’t know you’d come…”

“You can call me Kilix.”

“Oh, it’s Vivian.”

“If I call you that, he’ll bury me in the mountains behind here.”

He shrugged his shoulders after speaking a joke seriously.
She didn’t think Aiden’s going to be so cheap just for calling her name.

Since there was no last name in the first place, there was nothing to call her other than Vivian, she opened her mouth after agonizing over what to react to.

“But you keep calling Aiden the master.
Are you there by any chance…?”

Vivian asked carefully.
Are you a gangster?

“I’m from the 23rd District organization.
Don’t worry, I definitely have a parliamentary license.”

But just in case, as expected.

District 23 was divided into many organizations that were as small as that, and she was told that they had a bloody power struggle every time.
And it’s the master of the underworld who manages those organizations.

This was the only thing Vivian could know as an ordinary person, but she could roughly guess where and what Kilix had been doing.

When asked if he was a senator earlier, he seemed to have given such an ambiguous answer.
In addition to saving people, he would do many other things.
She didn’t want to know what was going on in detail, but she can see very well that it was far from ethics.

Isn’t that a parliamentary certificate a forgery, too? It’s not a good habit to watch with colored glasses on, but she wasn’t suspicious because he was his own person.
Even if it was a forgery, it had nothing to do with her.

“Well, I see.”

She replied bitterly because she wasn’t used to Aiden being the lawless boss yet.
For some reason, the atmosphere seemed to be getting awkward rapidly, but there was nothing to say.
Her world really doesn’t know a thing.

As he stared at her for a moment, Kilix tilted his head and asked playfully.

“Do you want me to call you sister-in-law?”

“What?”

“I’m not a gangster.”

At the same time as Vivian screamed in surprise, Aiden’s voice was heard.

“I’m sure you’re not a gangster, you’re the boss of a great organization.”

Kilix replied with a sour voice, and Aiden snorted as if he was being naughty.
Turning his head, he looked like he had been out for a while.

Vivian stared at his clothes and hair one after the other and finally made eye contact with him.
When he appeared, yesterday’s work that he had forgotten for a while overlapped with her previous dream.
She opened her arms as if she wanted a hug because she didn’t know why.

Aiden sat on the bed with no hesitation and held her in her arms.

“Wow, now it’s very openly…”

She heard someone’s sick and tired of it, but no one was here to care about it.

“I’ve been out somewhere.
I had nightmares because you weren’t around.”

Vivian whined.
It may sound heartless to call the dream of her late mother a nightmare, but she dreamed of a moment when she witnessed suicide, not a happy memory, but there was no good sound.
