Transmigrated Into A Tragic Romance Fantasy

“Hohoho...Now, how this came to be I wonder?”

Rendler watched Elden carry Rachel to her bed and settle her down with an amused smile.

It couldn’t be helped,

After all, Rachal was someone he had known for a long time, and she was always a serious figure.

This woman also used to despise the Knights who showed loose behavior, but it seemed that strong alcohol was capable of destroying her defenses.

The old butler glanced at his Lord.

It was a look that seemed to ask for an explanation, but Elden shrugged, thinking it would be better to keep Rachel’s drunken acts to himself.

However, Rendler was no fool, he could guess what must have happened.

“My Lord, please allow me to take care of the two, you can go ahead.”

“Hm.”

With those words, Elden, who had been staring intently at Rachel, left the lodging with Lumia.

Because of the shocking revelations he received, be it a young lady’s dream, filled with self-reproach, or a woman’s drunken confession, his steps were rather heavy today.

Slowly, the puzzle pieces began to fall into place in his mind.

Of how a noble lady suddenly decided to write a book about his adventures, becoming his companion in his Culinary Journey.

Of how the Escort Knight, who was always cold and serious, suddenly became jealous, saying that she caught the smell of another woman on him.

Also,

Now Elden knew why these two women joined him in the hot spring, even in an era where the concept of ‘Mixed baths’ was considered taboo.

His future days would be rather interesting indeed.

However, this was something unbelievable. An underserved luxury.

For Jun-Woo, who lived such a harrowing life that he couldn’t even dream of touching a woman, let alone getting romantically involved with one, the current melodrama unfolding between his two companions was something both mindblowing and thrilling.

Regardless, Elden left the lodging to install the mana detection devices as he promised, already expecting a commotion when he returned.

As he walked towards the designated place, Lumia tapped his shoulder.

She was holding a piece of paper in one hand.

[Lady Ariel and Dame Rachel both have a distinct human touch, that’s not like a noble or a Knight...It’s something to be appreciated.]

Human Touch.

This expression perfectly described the current Ariel and Rachel who were passed out drunk.

Elden smiled a bit at that.

While Lumia wrote something new.

[Both of them have their charm do they not?]

“Sigh...Yes, they do.”

[And what type would appeal to you more?]

Elden glanced at Lumia.

This was a question he didn’t expect to hear(Read) from her.

So he was a little flustered, but he recalled the memory of being asked the same question before and answered Lumia.

“I don’t have a particular preference, but I would like someone who protects and cherishes plans or animals.”

[Plants and animals?]

“Hm. I guess someone like this would have a good character. They just seem better than those who treat plants and animals carelessly.”

[I see.]

Lumia nodded her head.

She had asked in order to tell the two women who were fighting fiercely to get what they wanted.

Just in case it might help.

Because information about one’s ideal type would reduce unnecessary fights.

However, as Lumia heard his answer, her lips were drawn in a faint arc.

His answer was surprising,

After all, Elden seemed to hold the very same principles as her.

Around the time the Grand Ducal Betrothal began, Marien had asked her,

Wasn’t it time for her to have an ideal type for the opposite sex?

At that point she was so invested in her research, that she had no interest in men, so she smiled awkwardly, and when pressed further, she had to squeeze out thoughts she didn’t have and answer.

《Just... well... someone who cherishes animals or plants?》

However, Marien scolded her for such a simple answer.

《That’s it, My Lady? How could this be? No, I refuse to accept such a boring taste!》

《I can’t think of anything in particular...》

《Then, no matter how they look or what status they have, it doesn’t matter as long as they cherish plants and animals.》

《Well... it’s not like that, but at least I thought they’d be a better person than someone who treats plants and animals roughly.》

Perhaps such an answer came out because of the things she had suffered during her academy days.

Masquerading as a Lady from a fallen house, she had to endure a lot of suffering.

Plants and animals that were carelessly broken and hunted felt just like herself, and it was natural for someone who cherished such plants and animals to be seen in a good light.

And.

So, she was rather happy that the same answer left Elden’s lips.

Because it seemed that his determination to live for the weak from now on was engraved deep in his heart.

《B-But...That’s so boring My Lady...》

《Sorry.》

Lumia, suddenly thought of Marien and became somewhat melancholic, but tried hard to smile.

Marien would also want her to smile rather than be sad while thinking of her.

Elden, who saw that smile made under the shadow of the hood, asked.

“......Why are you smiling? Was my answer a little strange or funny?”

Strange? She didn’t think so.

Rather, for Lumia such an answer was a great one.

She was elated to hear it.

There were many things she wanted to say, but Lumia, who tried hard to swallow them, shook her head.

Cheering that the answer and the heart will hopefully not change.

And that afternoon.

“Whine...Bark...”

It must have been a trick of fate that an injured puppy appeared in front of the two of them.

**

Lumia picked up the puppy that was lying on the streets.

Elden said he would hold it, but Lumia refused since he had to install the devices.

Of course, she didn’t do this to gain favor with him.

Just when she heard that “someone who protects and cherishes plants and animals seems to be a good person,” passing by without helping the injured puppy would be like directly denying those words, and above all, she did it because she felt sorry for the puppy.

The puppy’s appearance made her remember herself, who was left crying in a messy state, but that lone remembrance of a healed past faded just as quickly as it came.

Elden stared intently at her.

While Lumia made a confused expression at him as if asking why would he look at her like that.

“Ah, I think your clothes got dirty.”

Lumia looked down at her bosom.

Of course, when you pick up a puppy that is covered in dirt and filth, your clothes get dirty.

The reason Elden stared at it was because he knew that, at least in this world, there was no noble lady who would embrace an injured puppy to the point of getting filth on her clothes.

“Will it be okay?”

Knowing what Elden was worried about, Lumia gently nodded her head.

She didn’t mind at all that her bosom was dirty.

Because she could just change clothes.

“Then let’s finish the installation quickly and go to the lodging to try a healing scroll. I don’t know if it will work on animals though.”

Knowing that there are no veterinarians in this world, Elden, who decided to use a healing scroll, quickly finished the installation as they returned to the lodging.

Although the puppy’s condition didn’t look critical, one of its legs seemed to be broken, so if it wasn’t treated, it wouldn’t survive long.

However, they couldn’t take an untrained puppy on a dangerous Journey.

They could only hope that the healing scroll would work on animals as well.

As mentioned earlier, healing scrolls were expensive magic items.

However, since Healing scrolls weren’t strong enough to completely heal a person, let alone an animal, they never heard of rumors about animals being treated with them.

Elden, who arrived at the lodging, immediately brought a healing scroll.

Meanwhile, Lumia laid the puppy on a fluffy wool rug.

Lumia looked down pitifully at the puppy, who seemed to have no strength left to even whine and was only breathing heavily.

It made her heart ache even more as if she was looking at herself in the past, who was exhausted from the terrible torture and ridicule that lasted for half a day and collapsed, only breathing heavily.

‘It’s okay. You’re going to be okay.’

Lumia could only feel sorry that all she could do was silently pray for the puppy’s health while warmly stroking its back.

She sincerely hoped this would help it, even if just a little.

Rustle-!

Elden tore the healing scroll and placed it on the puppy.

For the effect to manifest, a blue light had to come out of the torn scroll first.

If it didn’t manifest, it would become just a piece of torn paper and nothing would happen.

Fortunately.

Whoosh...

With a gust of wind, the blue light enveloped the puppy.

“Oh, I think it’s working?”

Elden and Lumia’s eyes met.

On their lips, there was the same smile.

Then, as the blue light that enveloped the puppy seeped into the injured area, their smiles brightened even more.

Lumia examined the puppy with desperate eyes, even holding her breath.

Whoosh...

And when the blue light completely disappeared, Lumia looked at Elden once more.

With the brightest smile since their reunion.

The drooping tail wags.

The slow breath quickens.

The head resting on the floor rises.

A long tongue licks around the mouth once.

Finally.

The injured leg wriggles and soon fully rises.

“Awoo?”

The puppy, who stood up from its spot, rolled its curious eyes and looked alternately at Elden and Lumia.

Seeing the healthy puppy, Lumia held her hand towards Elden, as if asking for a high five, however, Elden grabbed her hand.

Their hands clasped in joy.

For some reason their hands perfectly fit with each other.

Moreover, it was the first time in their lives that they had interlocked fingers with the opposite sex.

“Yip!”

Lumia looked fondly at the puppy who was looking up at her and barking cutely as if thanking her.

She was happy to be able to give the help she had so desperately wanted in the past to this tiny puppy, and she was happy that even her lowly self could be of help to someone.

And she was so grateful to Elden for helping her feel this joy.

Because without Elden, there would be no joy now.

“You little rascal...It doesn’t hurt anymore does it?”

As Lumia observed Elden interact with the puppy, she realized that even in a life stained by suffering, it was possible for one to find true joy.

Of course, she also took note of Elden’s handsome face...Which clearly depicted his love for animals.

“Yip! Yip!”

Unfortunately.

As night devoured the light, Lumia realized once again,

That she was a cursed being, who didn’t deserve such joy and happiness.

Come to the southern warehouse on 23rd Street. If you don't come alone, I will take the lives of many northerners who are my hostages. - Deron Caelid -

Once again, this cruel world punished her for finding a little speck of happiness.

It was a warning,

That the place she should be was not by the side of her dear one.
