Ending Maker Episode 442
SS #36 Regina Bayer (3)
A week before arriving at the capital.
Regina, fully prepared to leave for the royal road, took a deep breath with her hands on her waist and an excited expression on her face.
‘I think I’m moving.’
Of course, if the Counts of Bayer were to really move, they would need hundreds, if not dozens, of carriages, but it was a grand scale that really made you think about it.
Since the Counts of Bayer and Chase were moving together, there were many family members who had to head to the royal capital, and since they were planning to stay for nearly a month, they also needed a lot of luggage.
‘There are many knights and maids who go together.’
It was literally teeming with activity.
Even when the Counts Bayer and Chase were heading to the royal capital a dozen years ago, the number of people they were with was limited to the four people: the Great Count Bayer, the Young Count Bayer, the Great Count Chase, and the Young Count Chase, plus three or four knights and maids, so the group itself was not that large.
Naturally, three carriages would have been sufficient.
But not anymore.
Count and Countess of So Bayer.
The couple’s children, Ember and Aiden.
The Count of Chase.
The Earl and Countess of Chase.
Bella, the couple’s only daughter.
‘And me.’
The number of family members was already nine, and unlike ten years ago when there were no women, there were now five women.
Typically, when nobles went on a trip, women’s luggage tended to be much heavier than men’s.
The reason was simple: the things needed were much more numerous and the items were larger in size.
‘Because the dresses were stupidly big.’
Besides, there are so many different types of cosmetics.
Since the period of stay was a full month, it was not at all strange that three carriages came out carrying only the luggage of the two counts.
But in reality, it was only three generations.
All things considered, the party could have easily filled ten carriages, but it was a man’s decision that they ended up needing dozens of carriages.
-I will not tolerate even the slightest risk or inconvenience.
Arthur Chase.
The Count of Chase.
Now that Count Bayer had set out on a journey of love with his countess, he was both the most powerful man in Baylun and the elder of two families, and his decisions were as good as heaven’s.
The moment his order was given, dozens of maids accompanied him.
For safety, the Chase Knights were virtually mobilized, and the number of party members increased from nine to over seventy in an instant.
Naturally, the number of necessary loads and carriages also skyrocketed.
“Hey, if there’s anything uncomfortable, tell me right away.”
After looking at the lined up carriages and saying a few words to his grandchildren and his beloved daughter-in-law, Sylvia, he got into the lead carriage alone, and Regina always thought of him as a really fun and cool uncle.
and-
‘Sister Sylvia is also cool.’
Countess of Chase and Count of Crossbell.
A golden woman who wields the kingdom’s financial industry in the hands of those beyond the North.
She had long, sky-blue hair and was wearing a purple travel dress, which even to young Regina’s eyes looked truly beautiful and elegant.
‘Yeah, okay.’
In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that there were many pretty people around, but Sylvia had a unique elegance.
Should I say that it feels like a true noble feeling?
‘Of course, that doesn’t mean that Adelia isn’t a noblewoman.’
Adelia was originally a ‘soldier’, so she had a different kind of elegance than Sylvia.
‘No, Adelia, is it not elegance but dignity?’
Anyway, elegant Sylvia.
And little Bella standing there holding her hand.
Now nine years old, the only daughter of Countess and Countess Chase.
The girl with blue hair who resembled her mother, Count Crossbell, more than her father, Count Chase, was really small and cute, and I thought she looked like a doll.
His personality was also very gentle.
But then it happened.
Sylvia suddenly turned her gaze, perhaps sensing Regina’s gaze, and said with an elegant smile.
“Regina, if you need anything, just let me know. Okay?”
“Yes, Sister Sylvia.”
When Regina answered with a blush on her cheeks without realizing it, Sylvia laughed again, and Bella also smiled elegantly.
And so the journey to the royal road began.
Overall, it was fun.
There were times when it was stuffy to just stay in the carriage, but maybe I should say that the act of going somewhere together was enjoyable.
It’s like there’s something special about lunch boxes eaten outside.
“And by the way, Regina. Did you know?”
“what?”
When Regina asked again, Ember, who was holding Bella like a doll, laughed and continued speaking.
“They say that a dozen years ago, people didn’t run away for love.”
“Huh? Really?”
“Yeah, really.”
Love’s escape.
A love ceremony where a couple who has just finished their engagement or wedding ceremony writes a letter expressing how much they love each other and then goes on a trip together.
It was a common-sense task that was carried out by not only nobles but also commoners in the Kingdom of Seilun, despite the differences in scale and travel.
But are you saying that you didn’t run away for love even just a dozen years ago?
“It’s not just that they didn’t do it. They say that the one who ran away with love was treated strangely.”
Regina blinked as Aiden joined in.
It’s not that I don’t believe what those two people say, but it’s just that I can’t imagine such a world.
Ember chuckled again in satisfaction at Regina’s reaction, then pinched Bella’s cheek, who had an equally surprised expression on her face, and said,
“It was started by Aunt Cordelia and Uncle Juda.”
“The two of you?”
“Yeah, it’s something you two started, you know? You two are the couple of the century. So the people of the Kingdom of Cailun started following you two on a love elopement, and it became a tradition.”
“Wow.”
As expected, Brother Uder and Sister Cordelia are amazing.
I too must go on a love run someday.
I wonder who I’ll go with though.
By the way, I wonder if Yuria is doing well?
As Regina listened to Amber’s story and continued to think, her niece’s face naturally came to mind.
Yuria August Bayer.
It’s a secret from Ember and Aiden, but he’s actually Regina’s favorite niece.
It’s already been two years since I last saw you. I wonder how you’re doing.
‘I want to see you soon.’
hurry.
Even a day earlier.
“Regina? What are you thinking?”
“Huh, I guess you were just thinking about what to eat for dinner.”
“No, I was thinking of something else. More importantly, what does Aiden think of me? Like I’m a pig who only thinks about food all the time?”
“Oh, no. That’s not it… … .”
When Regina said that with her eyes wide open as if she was hurt, Aiden suddenly panicked, and Ember clicked her tongue as if she had no choice but to grab Regina’s hand and say,
“Aiden asked the chef what to make for dinner tonight. He also asked him to make something Regina likes. That’s why.”
“Well, that has never happened?”
Regina immediately furrowed her brows as Aiden shouted, looking even more embarrassed.
“You said that never happened?”
“I’m lying because I’m embarrassed. Aiden loves Regina so much. Right, Bella?”
When Ember asked in a soft voice, Bella nodded immediately, and Regina looked at Aiden teasingly, making a “grin.”
Aiden exercised his right to remain silent, his face turning bright red.
And then again, how much time had passed?
One day, two days, and a week.
Regina, who had been dozing off in Ember’s arms, suddenly raised her head at one moment, slipped out of Ember’s arms, and stuck her head out of the carriage.
“It’s the royal road.”
The royal road.
The largest and most developed city in the Kingdom of Seilun.
“Ember! Aiden! Wake up! Wangdo! Wangdo!”
Regina shook Ember gently to wake her up, then shook Aiden’s shoulders roughly.
“Have you… arrived… at the royal capital?”
Regina nodded again at Ember’s words, who were generally elegant but not elegant right after waking up, and slapped Aiden’s cheek as he tried to fall asleep again to bring him back to his senses.
“Huh, it’s nothing special. It’s not much bigger than Byulun.”
Aiden was excited, his cheeks flushed red, but Regina didn’t pay much attention.
As always, it will be a dishonest attitude.
“Thank you, Regina. Thanks to you, I was able to see the moment of entering the royal capital.”
Regina laughed hehehe at Ember’s gratitude and stuck her head out the window again.
The royal road.
The mecca of pink bombs.
The city where Brother Uder and Sister Cordelia saved the royal family and became heroes.
Regina smiled brightly, gently clutching her chest as if to calm her pounding heart.
* * *
Among the nobles of the north, only a very small number had mansions in the royal capital.
And, quite naturally, the Counts Bayer and Chase were among that very small minority.
‘You said it was originally the mansion of Brother Yuder and Sister Cordelia?’
A mansion that the royal family gave to congratulate two people who had made great achievements in the royal capital.
Although the couple never actually stayed there because they ran off on a love affair, it was their first home and held considerable symbolism.
‘Yuria will come here too, right? Come to think of it, does that mean Yuder and Cordelia will be coming too?’
Regina’s heart started pounding faster and faster as she thought about the three people.
Amber looked slightly embarrassed as she watched Regina like that, and Aiden was openly excited, but unfortunately Regina was quite insensitive to such things, so she didn’t immediately notice their disappointment.
And then another half day.
It was time to finish unpacking and for sunset to approach.
Regina, who was sitting at the fountain at the entrance to the mansion waiting for the ‘Shinseonguk’ party, sighed and stood up.
I waited for a long time after hearing from Gail that it would probably arrive today, but it looks like it won’t be today.
‘Come to think of it, Aiden seems to have been really upset.’
I usually only get excited once, but thinking about it, I think I got excited three times today.
I think Amber was excited once too.
How should I appease him?
It was with those thoughts that Regina took her first step forward.
“Aunt Regina.”
Regina blinked in surprise at the voice behind her, but only for a moment.
The carriage never came, but I was sure I knew that voice.
“Yuria!”
Regina turned around with a loud shout, a smile spread across her face.
It was really because Yuria was standing there.
Yuria August Bayer.
Princess of the Holy Nation of Eudellia.
Regina’s favorite niece.
He was now eleven years old, two years younger than Regina herself, but he didn’t think much of it.
If anything, she seemed more mature than the thirteen-year-old Regina herself.
‘You’ve grown tall!’
No, it wasn’t just about being tall.
How can you change so much in just two years?
Regina blinked and looked at Yuria.
If you really had to guess, Yuria looked a lot like her brother Yuder.
Should I call him Yuder Oppa who became a woman?
The white and neat face is elegant and at the same time difficult to express, that is, that is-
‘Hey, is this dirty?’
I don’t know if ‘lewd’ is the right word, but should I say it has a strange feeling?
If Amber had seen it, she would have said, ‘He’s overall dignified, but his eyes are sexy.’ – but Regina didn’t have the expressive power to do that yet.
Anyway, she resembles her older brother and sister, has a very pretty face, and blue eyes that make her feel strange.
Her long, black hair reached her waist, and her slim, yet sleek body seemed pretty.
And clothes.
A riding outfit instead of a dress, with a sword hanging from her waist.
“Sword? Yuria, are you learning swordsmanship these days?”
“Yeah, I’m learning.”
When Regina asked in surprise, Yuria answered softly with a faint smile.
And at that answer, Regina was surprised again and grabbed her chest without realizing it.
‘Well, I’m feeling nervous.’
Should I say it’s a smile that captivates people?
If Scarlett were here, she would have said that it was a very dark smile, but unfortunately, she was not here right now.
There were no people in the Bayer Counts’ house who would think of Maia when they saw Yuria’s smile.
“Are you learning from oppa Yuder?”
“I am learning from my father… … but I am learning from Kamael.”
“Kamael? Uh, so the great hero of Paragon? The swordsman?”
“Yeah, I’m learning the Snow Flower Twelve Swords.”
“Wow! The Twelve Swords of Snow!”
The swordsmanship of the swordsman Kamael.
If Scarlett were here again, she would have mentioned that the reason she felt a strange aura from the still young Yuria was because of the Snow Flower Twelve Swords – or to be exact, their extreme power. But since she was still not there, Regina could only say, “Wow, wow.”
“Oh, that’s right. Yuria. You didn’t come alone, did you?”
Regina, who had suddenly come to her senses, looked around and asked, but Yuria shook her head gracefully.
“Sister Dahlia and Sister Maia came with me. My parents are stopping by for a bit, so they’ll be back in a few days.”
Dahlia and Maia.
Guardian Angel and Angel of Beauty.
The two people who are Yuria’s godmothers.
“Oh, then where are you two?”
Because I still haven’t seen anything like a carriage.
In response to Regina’s question, Yuria smiled slightly shyly and said,
“I wanted to get here quickly, so I flew in from the middle.”
“Flying?”
“Yeah, fly.”
As she said that, Yuria shrugged her shoulders slightly, and pure white wings of light spread out behind her.
“Wow.”
It’s pretty. It’s really, really pretty.
Yuria is a real angel.
As Regina jumped up and down in admiration, Yuria blushed slightly and moved towards Regina, putting her wings back in.
“My sisters will be arriving soon. I would like to go in first and say hello. Can you show me around?”
“Huh? Huh!”
Actually, I don’t know enough about the mansion to be able to show you around, but you can take Ember or Aiden there.
Regina answered cheerfully and grabbed Yuria’s hand, and Yuria smiled quietly again, causing Regina’s cheeks to flush.
“Then let’s go, Yuria.”
“Yes, aunt.”
Yuria, who answered nicely, walked forward with Regina.
* * *
“Huh, it’s still small and flimsy.”
“Brother, saying something like that with that face will only make you look ugly.”
