In the end, I had all my money confiscated by Shael.
As I sighed at my lighter purse, Shael pulled something out of her magic pouch.
“What book is that?”
“It’s a book I picked up from a place.”
It was a clean-looking book that she had apparently picked up from somewhere. Glancing at the cover of the book, the book was titled—[The Evils of Ga*mbling]
‘Does she know that I went to the ga*mbling house?’
However, I became confused. I used magic to erase the my presence and had disguised myself with a magic tool. Even when I looked around from time to time, I didn’t see Shael anywhere around me.
Then a simple assumption came to mind. It might be possible that Shael was acquainted with the woman in the picture. And, that woman may have said something about me to Shael after she followed me until I undid my camouflage magic tool.
If that woman had the capacity to spend that much money, she would of course have good magic tools and magic to follow me secretly.
“They say ga*mbling is not good.”
‘Who doesn’t know that?’
Shael began reading the contents of the book as if she were giving me a lecture.
“If you become addicted, you will keep thinking about ga*mbling, and it is said that the operation of mana is also hampered in that state.”
“I see.”
“It is said that ga*mbling has a great influence on family discord!”
As if emphasizing the dangers of ga*mbling, Shael speaks with strength at the end. It was an accent that she usually didn’t use.
“So, if someone asked you to ga*mble, shouldn’t you decline right away?”
Shael lectured with a mournful voice and earnest eyes.
As I was speechless from the absurdity of the situation and couldn’t answer properly, Shael held my hand nervously.
I couldn’t think of answering Shael. It was because of the thoughts floating in my head while I was looking at Shael.
I thought it was cute.
Shael, who was restless at the thought that I had become a ga*mbling addict, was immensely ‘cute’. It was overwhelmingly cute!
And, I wanted to bully this cute Shael. So I responded, determined to act like a scu*mbag for now.
“Still, I think I will.”
“Yes?”
“I can get money, and I can also have fun. It kills two birds with one stone.”
Shael listened to me with her mouth wide open. Then tried to convince me after she came to her senses.
“You will also lose money!”
“Well, if I play with a stupid opponent, I won’t lose.”
“Yeah, but…”
Shael closed her mouth. She seemed to have nothing to say. So now, it was time for me to go on the offensive!
“Actually, I have a lot of money, so I can lose it. Wouldn’t it be enough to have fun?”
“Fun…”
I wanted to explain after playing around for a bit. But seeing Shael’s embarrassed expression for the first time in a long time made me happy. So I wanted the prank to go on longer!
After chatting with me for several minutes, Shael shook her head as if she had surrendered, then pulled something out of her magic pouch.
“By the way. I need you to explain the usage of this potion.”
The potion I thought was lost was actually in Shael’s hand. It was the potion that Rayel Tarden had given me in the Azbel household.
‘Was it a potion that was useful for lovers?’
Actually, I didn’t get any explanation when I received it. And when I asked her about it one day, she only said that as an explanation.
Anyway, it must be some kind of strange dr*ug. But I couldn’t say that to Shael. If I said that, it was clear that Shael would have me drink the potion.
“I can’t remember. It seems to be some sort of medicine, so it would be better to just throw it away.”
Shael nodded, after that, she immediately opened her mouth, “So about ga*mbling…”
Once again the lecture begun, and I continued to appreciate the cute Shael.

[Shael’s POV]
Shael was heading to her room with a bottle of wine in her hand.
On the way, the figure of Duke Jespen caught her eye.
“Father?”
Shael felt strange. It was because Duke Jespen, who would normally stick close to Enella and never be apart, was standing alone in front of the room he shared with Enella with a gloomy expression on his face.
When Shael tried to call out to her father, she heard Enella’s voice from beyond the door.
“Jespen, you are not allowed to come in until the number of days equal to the gold coins you ga*mbled has passed.”
“That, the number of day equal to the gold coins…” Duke Jespen’s face turned pale.
Shael didn’t pay much attention to the event and tried to return to Eran. Then a thought that had been tormenting her all day, popped into Shael’s head.
Of course, that though was about Eran.
‘Who the hell did her good Eran learned to ga*mble from?’
Now it seemed that the culprit was not far away. In fact, he was close to her all along!
After seeing Shael, Duke Jespen opened his mouth, “Hmm, Shael. Would you like to have a cup of tea with your father?”
