CH 126

Daniel was also a Viscount, but if he encountered the head of the security forces in social and political circles, he would have been in the far upper row. The corruption of the security guard had been famous for a long time, and he didn’t want to explain it to anyone who was about to lose their neck.

The judge looked at the documents in front of him with an absurd expression.

It was a marriage certificate between Leon Tertius and Dana Deniz. The judge tilted his head because he still couldn’t grasp the situation.

The head of the security forces collapsed against the wall.

“Since I touched the Grand Duchess… Oh, my. ”

Only then did the judge check the name on the marriage certificate again.

“Ah, Tertius….”

Increasingly, his face was flushed with fear, but suddenly turned into anger, and he cursed at someone.

“Then, if you knew…? Crap, what am I supposed to do about the after-effects.”

While grinding his teeth, he began to think seriously about his way out.

A wagon was waiting outside the security guard building.

Leon thought he would blame her or get angry as soon as he saw her, but surprisingly, he didn’t say anything to Dana while going there.

Before getting on the wagon of Leon’s escort, Dana hurriedly brought it up as if she had just remembered it.

“Leon, there’s someone who was caught with me. You have to save that person too. For me… Lisa.”

Dana looked at Leon and grabbed Leon’s arms. Leon just glanced at her without any reaction.

“…Leon.”

When Leon didn’t show any reaction, Dana looked up at him with anxious eyes.

“Lisa…”

Dana couldn’t read Leon’s thoughts. But she couldn’t leave Lisa alone, so she begged him once again.

His eyes moved slowly up and down her frame. After going up and down a couple of times as if checking something, Dana’s body suddenly tilted.

“Ah…”

There was a nostalgic smell in the arms that she was buried in. Dana raised her head a little surprised by his pounding heart.

Leon still hugged her silently and buried his face in her small shoulder. A very long sigh poured out. She suddenly realized and stayed still as if she was curious about his behavior.

Oh, I was very worried.

Dana then embraced Leon and closed her eyes for a moment. The solid body temperature that completely encompassed her eased her nervousness.

However, she was still worried about Lisa, so Dana was forced to get out of his arms and face him.

“Leon… Lisa…”

He, who had been quiet all along, glanced behind her at Dana’s words.

“Is that girl’s name Lisa?”

“Huh? What?”

Dana turned around quickly. Lisa was approaching with a welcoming expression on her face.

“Lisa! You’re safe!”

“I told you it would be okay.”

Dana completely let go of Leon and ran to Lisa and hugged her. Lisa saw Leon’s slightly disorganized expression at that moment.

Lisa tried hard to hide her laughter and patted Dana on the back.

“How did you get released, Lisa?”

“That’s… The person behind you is the Grand Duke, right?”

“Oh… Yes.”

Dana stood between Leon and Lisa, blushing for no reason as if she realized his existence again.

Lisa smiled coolly and spoke first.

“You came quickly. I just gave you a hint.”

“What do you mean by a hint?”

Dana asked with her eyes wide open. Instead, Leon replied.

“Thanks to you, I got a clue. I’ll give you a good job.”

“I won’t say no to that, Your Highness.”

Dana alternated between Lisa and Leon without even knowing what was going on. When he saw at last Daniel coming out, Leon pointed to the carriage.

“Everyone rides it.”

Daniel’s report continued in a large wagon that all four would ride on.

“The appeal will be accepted. There is no reason to refuse Dana because she was already the Grand Duchess when she was caught.”

“The Grand Duchess?”

When she heard that it was just Grand Duchess, and not a “future”, she tilted her head. Then Daniel was embarrassed and hesitated.

“Oh, yeah. So that’s…”

“I’ve already reported my marriage. Right after you disappeared.”

Dana seemed a little surprised by Leon’s calm explanation and thought her eyes were getting bigger, but she blurred the end of her speech with a strange expression.

“I see. I… Marriage…”

Daniel closed his mouth and rolled his eyes to read Dana’s countenance. Of course, she was going to get married anyway, and even if that was the best way, he couldn’t have felt so good pushing ahead without her.

Whether he knew it or not, his superior, who had no sense, was just sitting with an indifferent look.

Instead, Lisa leaned against the back and casually intervened in their conversation.

“That’s a bit off. You became a married woman without even realizing it. Was that the only way?”

She didn’t specify it, but she recited it like she was talking to herself, but it contained a little blame. There must have been a way. Still, it did not make sense if he could not remove a fiancée caught by the security forces, whatever her status was, as the first aristocrat.

Nevertheless, it was probably not only because of Leon’s thorough law-abiding spirit that he had to obey the laws and procedures. Everyone who sat there guessed it, but she didn’t even bother to pinch it.

“…Thank you, Leon. Last time and this time, you always saved me.”

It was Dana who broke the silence. It was a matter of mood, and it was clear that Leon had saved her from the imminent crisis anyway.

Dana turned to Leon sitting next to her, looked straight at him, and spoke. Leon was just looking out the window without saying much.

Amid silence again, Dana smiled gently when she saw Leon’s earlobe noticeably red.
