I placed my hand on his back and gently patted before speaking up.
“Let’s go on a trip together.”
“A trip?”
“Yes, the three of us. Let’s go see the ocean.”
At the mention of Blanc, Albert grew quiet. I tapped his back lightly with my finger and rolled my eyes.
“I know you’ve acknowledged Blanc now. You even called him Wight.”
Albert exhaled heavily and then reluctantly said,
“What can I do when he’s the one who saved your life?”
He rolled his eyes at me, but he didn’t seem as upset as I thought.
Maybe this trip could be an opportunity to improve the relationship between him and Blanc?
I had a good feeling about it.
“So, how about we call Blanc now? It’s been a while since the three of us talked.”
At the moment our eyes met, I smiled broadly. He gazed at me tenderly.
“If that’s what you want, call him.”
Albert moved into the bed and sat beside me, responding. It had become familiar to have Albert sit next to me.
Living together with this man in the same space felt as natural as breathing.
Leaning against his shoulder, I summoned Blanc with my mind telepathy.
[ Blanc, how about we plan a vacation with Albert? ]
[ Really? ]
Blanc, who responded with excitement, quickly jumped through the window. Waving at Albert and me, Blanc greeted,
“Albert!”
“…Yeah.”
Though his reply lacked enthusiasm, it was much warmer than before. If his previous responses were winter winds, now they felt closer to spring breezes.
“We’re planning our trip.”
“Really? That’s so, so great.”
Blanc smiled brightly, his face beaming with happiness.
“I want to jump right in the waters and swim there.”
“It would be nice just to bask in the sunlight on the beach, even if that’s all we do.”
It was so refreshing to listen to him excitedly listing down the things he wanted to do. It was a welcome change too, considering how he was when we first met.
The three of us seamlessly melded into the conversation.
From what we wanted to do at the beach to the foods we craved, our talk flowed endlessly.
“I want to eat your cooking again, Jung-in. It’s the best.”
“Really? That’s the best compliment.”
It was awkward yet pleasing that Blanc’s taste had still been trained by me, even with Seo Ina around.
It showed he truly cared and looked out for me.
Listening to our conversation, Albert chimed in.
“While we’re at the beach, it would be nice to stay a few days at your estate. I’ve already transferred the title to you.”
“That was fast…”
The estate, once under Rosé’s name, was now under Yoo Jung-in’s.
Looking back at the many hours he spent with me, to the point that it made him seem like a tyrant who neglects his duties, Albert’s efficiency was just truly astounding…
Was this what qualified someone to be a male lead?
Maybe that’s why I’m just an ordinary person.
I now have a status. Finding a place that doesn’t welcome the contractor of a dragon would probably be harder anyway.
Landlord… no, the dream of being a fief lord has finally become a reality.
In the modern world, I might have trembled over paying for my own rent, but here it’s different!
Just thinking about going there already excited me.
Albert, looking at me contentedly, suddenly spoke softly.
“Schubert. It’s time for you to leave.”
I tightly grasped Albert’s hand.
“That was a very good decision.”
Albert chuckled.
“You have to stick by my side for at least a year anyway.”
“That’s good for me too. Who would hate being by the side of the person they love?”
“Such a smooth talker. It makes me think of the words I’ve longed to hear.”
Albert murmured, rolling his eyes. Wondering what it could be, I curved the corners of my mouth upwards.
“Prince, as always, you look handsome today as well.”
As I spoke, Blanc also looked up, gauging Albert’s expression first before joining in.
“Albert, you’re handsome.”
“You didn’t need to follow suit.”
“…It looked like you enjoyed hearing it. So, this is limited to a spouse, huh?”
“You’re quite perceptive.”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
Blanc grinned. Listening to their conversation made me feel naturally happy.
It was too good.
“Shall we talk more about our vacation?”
“Whatever you wish for.”
Albert continued, enveloping me in a gentle embrace.
Holding his hand, I chatted about our future all night long.
And it was almost morning when we finally fell asleep. Albert and Blanc didn’t leave my side until then.
Albert’s face, as he chatted with Blanc sitting on the couch, looked at ease. Blanc felt the same.
These moments, comfortably sharing stories among the three of us, were precious.
The spreading warmth in my chest told me I was alive.
The voices of my loved ones ringing in my ears like a song, the comfortably cool breeze, and the soft bed.
Maybe everything I’ve lived through was for this moment.
