Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 522



522. What is your relationship with Princess Rachel?

***

“…It’s sudden, but can I ask you something?”

“are you okay. “Milia, please speak comfortably.”

From noble mtl dot come

While answering, Cheonseong’s heart was just at ease.

‘It’s not bad to meet like this.’

Karite’s momentary expression of affection for the first time was definitely unexpected from her nature, but the atmosphere was quite good due to her quick response right away.

“What is your relationship with Princess Rachel?”

Tuk.

As I was looking at the copied material, I let go of the collar I was holding.

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssss… .

I was so surprised that I picked it up again late to see that the ink on the end of the collar had spread to the material.

“…uh?”

When I answered awkwardly and looked away, I saw Millia staring at me.

“I also heard rumors going around, and the princess actually came to visit you a few days ago. “It’s hard to think that it just came to me… Did I say something embarrassing?”

He asked, slurring his words at the end, and just from that look, I knew that Milia had been quite shaken for a few days.

You wanted to ask me this a long time ago, but you are finally getting the word out now.

“No, it’s not like that.”

Trying to control my embarrassment, I immediately shook my head.

“that’s right. Like Millia, I wanted to continue… I wanted to ask, but could you tell us properly now?”

When Karite also asked me, I looked at the two people and smiled without even realizing it.

‘Well, it was misleading.’

No, it was more strange not to misunderstand.

Although I am currently ignoring the rumors going around about me and Rachel, it is not a rumor that can be easily overlooked, even by people like Milli and Karite.

To put it mildly, it could be a romantic relationship or a close relationship with the imperial family… because rumors are spreading.

Sreuk!

When I gently clenched my hands and released mana, the mana that spread out enveloped her and me.

I soundproofed my voice in advance so that no one could hear me, and then I opened my mouth.

“…Sorry. “I should have explained about Princess Rachel first, but I ended up explaining it so late.”

“no. I’m fine.”

“Are you in a relationship like that with the princess?”

As Karite and Milia gave different answers, I calmly opened my mouth.

“We are definitely not in a relationship like the rumors going around right now. “I can confidently say that I have no rational involvement with the princess… and there is no need for the two of you to think about what might happen.”

First of all, I said the most important thing.

“uh… ?”

“Is that true?”

I couldn’t help but laugh as I watched the two people reacting to my words as if they were unexpected.

‘I guess I wasn’t able to give you this much confidence.’

I realized it again.

I never had romantic relationships or liked every girl I met.

…It just so happens that there are many people I fall in love with and become lovers with.

Yeah, it wasn’t like I liked just any girl.

“then. How could I have such a relationship with Princess Rachel? “To begin with, there were already rumors that I was in a romantic relationship with you guys, right?”

Even as I spoke, I kept laughing.

When Millia first suddenly started talking about Rachel, I was very confused, but if you think about it even a little, it actually seemed like nonsense.

“Well, that’s right… you’re already in a romantic relationship with us.”

“I know? If you think about it, there is really no way for the princess to covet a man who already has a lover. “I guess I overthought it too much.”

The two people who were answering blankly looked at me and smiled really awkwardly, and it seemed like they really thought I was in a relationship with Rachel.

“okay. Just to explain a little more… I guess I also heard something, so we inevitably got into a relationship.”

“What kind of relationship is it?”

“Who on earth did you hear this from?”

Compared to Karite, who calmly asked the question as if relieved that I had spoken about my relationship with Rachel, Millia showed a little more emotion.

It’s like he doesn’t understand something.

“Actually, it’s a bit hard to say this out loud, but I heard that if time passes like this, the imperial family will pay attention to me.”

Nevertheless, I did not make up my mind hastily.

I was planning to explain calmly and more properly.

This was something I had to properly explain to the two people who are with me right now, but also to other people in my relationship who are not here.

As I looked at the two people like that, I saw them looking at me blankly.

Although they all looked really surprised and adorable, I continued speaking slowly.

“And because you two know me. I won’t elaborate on the fact that the imperial family is paying attention to me. Crucially, Princess Rachel came to visit me from her magic tower, but at that time, I wanted to become friends with Princess Rachel first. “It’s really a coincidence, but I’m a slave to the imperial family… I thought I had to take the initiative to avoid an arranged marriage between myself and a woman from the royal family.”

He spoke the truth without hesitation.

Why did I become involved with Rachel?

And because I wanted to build a good relationship, I showed her the full value of my strength. It was all out of necessity.

“Woah, imperial servitude!?”

“…I really didn’t think about it at all. Han Tiansheng, I never thought you would even think of such a thing… .”

I was able to laugh lightly as Karite blinked in surprise and Milia asked me even more surprised.

Even now that I think about it, I think it was some kind of luck that Rachel came to the magic tower to meet me at that time.

“I thought that even if it were just an emergency, I should be able to properly refuse imperial subjugation. And in that sense, she had a close conversation with Princess Rachel, who happened to come to see me. The more we talked, the more I felt she was a very nice person. “When I expressed my refusal to be subordinated to the imperial family, Princess Rachel accepted me.”

It was clear that he became close to Rachel out of necessity, but compared to other royal family members, she was also the most trustworthy royal family member.

“…So, you are in a relationship with Princess Rachel.”

Even though my words must have been quite difficult to understand, I laughed again as I looked at Milia who almost understood.

“That’s right, Millia. I thought that if my value increased further in the future, I would definitely get caught up in the imperial family’s factional fight. First, I entered into a relationship with Princess Rachel.”

Even though I explained it further, I thought that the misunderstanding had been corrected.

In the first place, when it came to being involved with the royal family, I was in so much trouble.

‘The more I look at Rachel… .’

Honestly, I couldn’t deny that I kept feeling strange.

It was also completely different from other people.

Whenever I was with Rachel and talking to her like I did a few days ago, I felt like I was inadvertently being captivated by her.

It was a phenomenon that I had experienced for the first time.

It’s not because I like someone, it’s because I keep feeling strange feelings for her just by looking at her. She was so she was more alert and careful.

Just in case, I don’t want to have any negative thoughts. It was about keeping more distance.

‘If by any chance I end up with Rachel… .’

It was more like an accident than anything else.

How on earth will other people take it?

From Miliana Karite to Glesia, to Sir Isabel and Carly or Adelia… .

As soon as I thought of it, I shook my head without realizing it.

I came to like many people, and now I can calmly accept that and work harder, but I have to cherish my relationships with them more.

“…I’m so shocked that I can’t speak.”

“I also feel the same way as Karite. “I know that everything you just said is true, but I never thought you would have formed a relationship with Princess Rachel with such deep thoughts.”

“From now on, I will do my best to give you two more trust and not be swayed by rumors.”

He spoke a little jokingly and gently held the two people’s hands.

Sreuk.

…The women I’ve had relationships with have all been attractive and lovely people.

They are so beautiful that just looking at them alone makes me think they are too much for me.

It was still like that now.

Both Karite and Milia were very close to my heart.

“…Han Tiansheng.”

When Milia held my hand tightly with her eyes filled with emotion, I felt embarrassed for no reason.

‘I didn’t just say this to speak kindly of myself.’

It felt like something in my heart was reflected on these two people without me even realizing it. That too in a good way.

“From now on… I’ll trust you. “To be honest, I didn’t trust you. I also thought that if she was a pretty girl, she might be trying to take everyone into her arms.”

“I’m sorry too. To be honest, I thought that the relationship with the princess was definitely like that.”

Strangely enough, I couldn’t help but laugh as I watched the two people apologize to me as if in a confessional.

I didn’t want to blame anything, but I just felt like my behavior wasn’t that good.

“are you okay. Because I think it can be done. Are you both okay with the princess now?”

“huh. “I am completely relieved now.”

Karite smiled and leaned her cheek against my shoulder, and she looked so cute.

Let’s keep our eyes focused and wait for the answer from Millia.

“I’m sorry… Can I ask one more question?”

“Milia, just feel free to ask.”

Although he spoke lightly, there was no slight delusion in his heart.

For now, I was proud of myself. To be honest, in the past, I liked many women and felt sorry when I approached them and captured their hearts, but this time, I can confidently make eye contact.

“Then Princess Rachel… what was it that held your hand?”

“uh… ?”

“I heard it. It’s not a rumor or exaggeration, it’s that Princess Rachel took your hand first and held it for a long time. “I heard it from someone who actually saw it.”

Even as I watched Millia cautiously ask me again, I was speechless for a moment.

When I think about it, it was definitely like that…

Although we manifested mana to prevent the conversation from flowing out, our appearance did not disappear from the eyes of others.

Many people must have seen Rachel holding my hand along the way, and that must have had a big impact on why the rumor spread endlessly.

“…that.”

As I opened my mouth, I couldn’t think of what to say.

That wasn’t what I was trying to do.

I was just bullied by Rachel.

A princess with a golden knight suddenly grabs my hand. How can I avoid that?

And even when my hand was being held, I knew how to let go by speaking appropriately. Above all, the topic of conversation at that time was related to apostles, so I didn’t have the energy to worry about such things.

But actually.

I couldn’t say it straight away.

“what? If what Millia said… doesn’t the princess… have feelings for you?”

As Karite spoke in great surprise, a great force was felt in the hand that was being held.

…I shook my head first, even though the hand felt completely different from before, as if it was trying to squeeze me.

“I don’t think so.”

“But the princess held your hand first. As far as I know, it is not easy for members of the royal family to allow themselves or to have contact with each other. However, if Princess Rachel held your hand for a long time without hesitation… .”

Even as I watched Millia continue speaking, I quickly shook my head.

It wasn’t.

“Milia, calm down first. It is true that Princess Rachel held my hand, but I think it was… a sign of affection. “I think the princess supported me a little because we had a really serious conversation at that time.”

“Do you really… think so?”

Millia’s eyes were shaking violently as she asked me.

Even if Rachel and I don’t have that kind of relationship right now, I’m afraid that we might have that kind of relationship in the future. Eyes that seem anxious… .

My heart, which had been shaken by that, calmed down.

I suddenly felt that I needed to show a more proper attitude now.

“I know now. How someone looks at me and whether they have feelings for me. In that sense, Princess Rachel was not the kind of person who would look at me with those eyes.”

Although he spoke firmly as if he were asserting, he held Millia’s hand a little harder.

That was obvious.

Rachel doesn’t like me.

‘Yeah, there’s no way Rachel likes me.’

I happened to use the term “sign of affection,” but I really thought it was the most appropriate word right now. Above all, I don’t think there was a strange atmosphere between Rachel and me.

……however.

It suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Rachel’s distinctive red eyes were staring at me.

Those mysterious eyes, whose emotions I couldn’t read in the slightest, often looked at me from time to time.

I don’t know if it’s eye contact born of the royal family’s unique confidence, or if it’s a look in their eyes that wants to explore me further. It was clear that as our encounters continued, the amount of time she spent looking at me increased.

‘It must be goodwill.’

I didn’t think that was affection.

Because it shouldn’t be affection in the first place.

“…I trust Han Tiansheng.”

Then, when Karite spoke, I burst into laughter.

With a smile, I let go of the wrong thoughts I had for a moment.

“Will Millia trust me too?”

And then he spoke carefully.

“…huh. I’ll believe it. And… even if I were to become in a relationship like that with the princess, my feelings wouldn’t change.”

When I saw Milia talking to herself as if she was making a promise, I inadvertently pulled her hand.

Sreuk.

As I gently held Milia in my arms, I was just grateful for her words.
