Her sister and brother regarded like that they had been ready for ages, and the moment she arrived, they uncorked the bottle of champagne.

The burst of liquid poured over Yernia’s head.

To forestall them from attacking her with extra champagne, his hand all of the sudden moved on prime of Yernia’s head.

When Yernia glanced up, she noticed the hand of her childhood good friend. She hadn’t even observed that he was subsequent to her alongside.

It was Yernia’s childhood good friend, Cassian Lecardo.

“How will you say that I’m your information?” It by no means got here throughout her thoughts, a lot much less her creativeness. “You shocked me.”

“I do know. You two are supposed to be!”

She frowned as she listened blankly to her fussing sister, Seria, and her brother, Ivan.

Sadly, Cassian’s fingers did not cease the endless champagne over her head.

Now, Yernia was coated with alcohol from head to toe.

Huh. She simply laughed as a result of she couldn’t do something about it.

Yernia glanced down at herself and realized that she was a large number.

She didn’t even untangle the moist strands caught on her cheek.

That is ridiculous!

She simply received house!

What sort of catastrophe did she get into?

Anger rose from the tip of her toes to the highest of her head.

“What do you imply by destiny? Have all of you been loopy? What are you doing?”

Yernia threw her head again and screamed from the highest of her lungs.

She went out of the home in a superb temper, however they showered her with champagne as quickly as she received again.

“I can’t consider I’m Cassian’s information.”

She even heard a lot nonsense earlier than she was coated with champagne.

“Cease joking round.” She was in a superb temper, minutes earlier. “Due to you, the whole lot was ruined.”

When Yernia acquired a towel from the butler, she wiped the moist strands of her messy hair.

She was on her means again after assembly her favourite opera singer.

She received his autographs and even shook fingers with him.

The person even promised to have a meal together with her the following time they met.

She was so glad that she felt like flying.

However, what is that this?

It turned out she was Cassian’s information?

Yernia and Cassian have been childhood buddies, they usually went means again.

The 2 buddies had been collectively ever since they began studying easy methods to stroll.

For Yernia, Cassian was like a household, like Seria and Ivan.

He was a household kind of good friend.

Since they have been younger, their households favored to pair them collectively, however they shouldn’t go overboard.

How can they do all this nonsense and name Cassian right here?

“No. I’m telling you the reality. I couldn’t consider it at first both.”

Seria checked out Cassian and shrugged.

Cassian had been right here even earlier than Yernia arrived.

She noticed Cassian sitting at the lounge couch, however Yernia thought little of it when he waved at her the moment she entered.

The 2 of them ought to have been shut to one another.

Since their household was shut, Cassian usually got here and went to Yernia’s house.

The identical was true for Yernia.

The Marquess simply instructed her that she was in command of him as his information.

“What?”

Yernia’s head turned in the direction of Cassian.

‘Actually?’ Not uttering a single phrase, she requested him together with her eyes, however Cassian merely smiled.

“Sure, Ye Na. It’s true.”

“Cassian, I’m your information. No, I’m kidding. Are you making an attempt to tease me once more? You understand what I really want.”

Let her marry her beloved Esper.

It was the want Yernia had cherished for a very long time.

Esper, are creatures with sturdy skills. However sadly, they have been too unstable. She was one of many guides who might relax creatures like them.

The Legislation of the Empire required the Esper and his information to marry with out circumstances.

The Empire might solely obtain peace if the information tamed their wild Esper.

With out guides like her, the empire would go straight to defeat.

An Esper is a harmful being, and Yernia was a information.

Yernia knew that she needed to marry an Esper sometime.

If she was not given any alternative however to marry an Esper, she would do what was required of her however solely with the person he liked.

There was no means that Cassian had no concept concerning the want Yernia cherished a lot.

She instructed him about it each likelihood she received.

“Your want would by no means come true for the remainder of your life.”

“Why? What’s unsuitable with you?”

Did he eat one thing unsuitable?

Was he nonetheless decided to make a idiot out of her?

He was Cassian, and that itself was sufficient.

He’s at all times that imply good friend who teases Yernia on a regular basis.

Yernia regarded round suspiciously, and Cassian smiled at her once more, his crimson lips curving upward.

“What? Why are you taking off your garments abruptly?”

Why was he unbuttoning his rattling shirt?

Yernia’s eyes have been as spherical as saucers at Cassian’s surprising habits.

She glanced at her household in shock, however they regarded fairly calm for some purpose.

As an alternative, she appeared to be the one one who thought of it unusual.

What’s unsuitable with all these individuals?

“Ye Na.”

Cassian referred to as her identify as she watched the ridiculous scene.

He stopped unfastening the buttons on his shirt when he reached his chest.

Subsequent, he grabbed Yernia’s hand.

“What are you doing?”

She had already touched Cassian’s physique earlier than she might even withdraw her hand from him.

On the identical time, one thing caught her eye.

The letters have been engraved just under his collarbone.

Yernia Cilliard.

“Why is my identify there?”

For a second, she thought she noticed the unsuitable factor.

When nothing had modified after blinking a number of instances, Yernia rubbed her eyes together with her free hand.

Nonetheless, the identify didn’t vanish and remained there.

Engraved in black ink, her identify was, actually, in the appropriate place.

Yernia realized what her identify engraved on Cassian’s chest meant.

“No means.”

At the moment, Yernia additionally did not level out that Cassian unbuttoned his shirt greater than vital.

She spaced out as she thought concerning the purpose why her identify appeared on Cassian’s chest.

“I instructed you. You need to take duty for me.”

It was such a uncommon case, however ‘destiny’ appeared for the  Esper and his information.

Destiny.

From that time on, solely the proprietor of the identify might take duty for the opposite particular person whatever the particular person’s gender.

If the information’s identify appeared on Esper’s physique, solely the main focus would have the power to calm that Esper down.

The truth that Yernia’s identify appeared on Cassian’s physique–

“We have now to get married.”

It meant the tip.

***

Yernia turned out to be a information when she was eight.

The moment she appeared as a information, she realized that this was a novel she had learn in her earlier life.

<<The Esper’s Smug Love>>

It was a well-known romance fantasy novel.

A world the place Espers and Guides exist.

Within the novel, Yernia Cilliard is the childhood good friend of the male protagonist Cassian Lecardo.

Yernia, who had a crush on Cassian since childhood, appeared because the character who always torments Herena, the heroine who stole Cassian’s consideration.

Yernia was a information, however Herena wasn’t one.

Yernia was a candy lady who taunts Herena by mentioning her faults with info to again her up.

It was an important aid that she discovered her reminiscence earlier than the novel started.

“Cassian, I’ll be good to you.”

“Abruptly?”

“I used to be at all times good to you. All I’m saying is, I’ll do higher.”

When Yernia was eight years previous, she knew Cassian’s knife itself would minimize her future.

Since she was on this novel, she thought she might change the long run now that it became her actuality.

She needed to be good any longer.

The one reminiscence she had of her earlier life is her personal.

Yernia’s life with out the Feminine Lead was so peaceable.

+++

Possibly as a result of she was near Cassian in her means, she couldn’t consider that she would die in Cassian’s fingers.

Because of this, her aim of being type to Cassian failed in lower than a yr.

She tried to be good to him, however he couldn’t.

Her downside was Cassian Lecardo’s character.

“Cassian, you might be as impolite as a beggar.”

Cassian’s character had gone off the deep finish. That’s the reason she needed to inform him.

“I’m glad you may have such an unpleasant character. Every little thing was virtually good.”

As a result of they have been buddies, Cassian didn’t antagonize Yernia.

Nonetheless, Yernia usually trembled from the vanity emanating from his each phrase and habits.

“Sure, thanks.Ye Na.”

“It’s not a praise!”

Cassian has at all times referred to as Yernia ‘Ye Na.’

When she first heard Cassian’s nickname for her, she tried to recall her recollections if he had given her the identical nickname from the unique novel?

Nonetheless, Yernia had no concept as a result of the novel solely talked about that ‘the Male Lead has a childhood good friend’ till the heroine appeared.

As she stared at Cassian, calling her Yernia, she thought the connection between the 2 was in all probability higher than she thought.

A minimum of till the feminine protagonist seems.

Sigh.

“Do you sigh since you prefer it a lot?”

“It’s the opposite means round. I’m melancholy as I considered going to the identical academy as you.”

The 2 had attended the identical academy.

She will’t consider she has to see his cheeky face on the academy!

Yernia was determined.

But she tailored little by little to the life on the academy, pondering that he was fortunate to be round somebody acquainted.

It was a mere remark for simply sooner or later, however it modified just a few years later.

“You dangerous man! I used to be humiliated due to you!”

Cherry blossoms are in full bloom in spring.

It was the brand new semester.

The climate was so good that she might have laughed and loved it, however right here Yernia was, together with her face so crimson as if it was about to burst.

As she towered in entrance of Cassian, who was sitting on the bench, Yernia’s physique trembled with rage.

“What are you even ashamed of? What are you doing with that ineffective piece that you simply name a mind, stone head?”

“What? Did you say that what’s inside my head contained nothing however stones?”

Yernia was shocked, speechless, for a second on the unusual smugness on his face, however that didn’t make her overlook that she was nonetheless offended at him.

Yernia was a ditzy scholar who hated finding out, and Cassian was just like Yernia.

A minimum of Yernia thought so.

Cassian is enjoying together with her, however why was he the one one who will get good outcomes?

Cassian and Yernia have been virtually collectively, and she or he hated Cassian when he began bothering her, however delay all individuals, it was nonetheless comforting to see his face for the longest time.

When she involves her senses, Cassian is at all times there subsequent to Yernia.

Yernia rubbed her chin in contemplation as he noticed Cassian.

Cassian was decided to stare straight forward so she might solely see his aspect profile.

If this continued, he can be on the prime of the category if he studied onerous!

Regardless of how a lot she considered it, the concept was too absurd.

Yernia, who had spied at Cassian for just a few days, whispered in his ear sooner or later.

“Cassian, are you dishonest?”
