Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 526



526. The upcoming meeting – the truth revealed (4)

***

Time passes and it’s already dark night.

The time has come to say goodbye to the end of the day and welcome the next day.

But Cheonseong could hardly fall asleep.

Rustling.

Even as I tossed and turned, my heart felt heavy.

Although my body felt more comfortable after putting away the stuffy suit I was wearing today, my mind felt the same now.

“ha… .”

I took a deep breath and stared blankly at the light coming in through the window.

A table illuminated by light.

As I stared at it, I felt tense.

“What kind of person is this?”

Even when I thought about what kind of person Carly’s mother was, I couldn’t quite imagine it. She just took a guess and thought that the image she could imagine was that of an elegant noblewoman.

Kali’s family is the family of Counts Ishtar.

I think I’ve secretly seen a lot of people belonging to the count family, but that’s just the people I’ve met, and they’re not at all nobles that you can easily see.

And now, as a commoner, I have to meet someone like the mistress of the earl’s family.

I thought she was going to be my future mother-in-law… and I had to have a serious meeting with her.

“Somehow… . Let’s do well.”

Even as I said this to myself, I absentmindedly placed my hand on my chest.

When I think about whether the moment we plan to meet for lunch tomorrow will go smoothly… In fact, I still can’t erase the thought that I’m not good enough.

In this world, I was a commoner, and ironically, it was no exaggeration to say that almost all the women I fell in love with were noble women.

‘They say that only Glesia is not a noble… .’

In fact, it was difficult to see even Glesia as a commoner like me, strictly speaking.

Anastasia, the main axis of the empire, was her older sister, and it was reasonable to view them as being from a noble family.

Sreuk.

He shook his head while gently squeezing his hand.

The more I thought about it, the heavier my heart became, but also the thought that it was an opportunity.

“If possible… I want to hit the first button well.”

And I didn’t know that tomorrow might be the biggest button for me.

A turning point in life.

Since a meeting is not an easy event, I couldn’t have the same attitude as usual.

I let out a short breath and turned over, and the dark ceiling was now visible to my eyes.

It was dark.

However, I was able to look back carefully at what happened today.

“……”

People were surprised to see me, and I actually felt it to some extent as I waited for Darsha in front of the women’s dormitory.

Women showing very different reactions.

By decorating myself and wearing clothes I don’t normally wear, I can show myself as being completely different from my usual image.

What I was saying was that I could show myself in a better light than my original self.

Sreuk.

“Polite and formal.”

I mumbled and composed myself.

I thought back to the conversation I had with Sir Isabelle after breaking up with Darsha.

At the same time, I remembered again the etiquette I had learned before meeting the royal family at the Magic Tower.

…and then slowly closed my eyes.

Now, compared to Carly, I definitely have many shortcomings, but I still wanted to look good.

As a decent man with as little as possible,

I’m a promising enough man to be by Carly’s side… .

“It would be best to appeal that way.”

I thought that if you don’t have anything right now, you should at least have confidence and talk.

That I will become a man capable of taking responsibility for her from now on. I had to express it well with my own will.

***

Meanwhile, Kali’s mansion located in the capital city of Edelphia.

Likewise, even though it was time to sleep, Carly was also having trouble sleeping.

“…”

Even as my lips hesitated, it glimmered before my eyes.

-Who the hell are you to say that? You really made me look forward to this, but you didn’t even tell me what family I was. You, Carly, got really mischievous without me even seeing you.

My mother’s face full of smiles came to mind.

I was trying to explain gradually, but I couldn’t speak well in the middle.

Something about my mother was different from what I knew.

As if expectations had become ridiculously high. He was telling me, but I couldn’t bear to say it there.

so… .

I also couldn’t say what I originally thought.

Rustling.

As I tossed and turned in a daze, my wildly disheveled red hair cluttered my vision. But she didn’t even think about organizing it.

“Why on earth did my mother’s expectations get so high?”

As I said, that was really the problem.

My expectations of my spouse are too high.

Rather, my mother was looking at something much bigger now than when I was in the family. Even though I had so much to say as I was seeing my mother for the first time in so many years, I felt uncomfortable throughout the conversation.

No matter what topic was discussed, it would eventually end up being about men.

It’s also about men belonging to ‘high-ranking families’.

They were all about men who were around the same age as me. He’s handsome, or he’s attractive in some way, so you’ll like him… There’s something about my mother who endlessly talks about him… .

It seemed like there was a firm will.

It seems like he will somehow find my spouse.

In the end, even if there was someone I cared about, my mother never stopped.

…It felt like my mother was forcing me to say more of what she had to say.

Slurp.

The corners of his eyes narrowed as he gently brushed his hair.

‘I think differently.’

My mother’s thoughts are definitely different from mine.

I had to tell my mother properly tomorrow morning at the latest, but I felt like friction would be unavoidable.

I should have said it properly before the scheduled meeting.

Don’t let his mother be too surprised when she sees him.

…And for his sake too, I had to reveal it now.

“You have to be able to persuade them properly.”

He said it as if he was promising me, and made up his mind again.

The only person I chose was Han Tiansheng, and even now, my heart did not hesitate at all.

It was that firm.

That now and in the future, he is the only man in my life.

Therefore, I had no intention of meeting anyone else.

Regardless of my family or background, my mind was already made up that way.

Once I made up my mind, my stuffy mind felt a little more comfortable.

“Because what’s important is my heart.”

All that mattered was that he was the one I cared about.

…The more I thought about the high-ranking marquis’ man my mother mentioned, the more I couldn’t help but laugh.

Although I understand my mother’s desire for me to be with a man from a good family. My heart was much more important to me now than my mother’s heart.

“Even if there is a difference in status, it cannot be undone.”

I have already decided to choose the person I like.

It wasn’t something I had to accept, but a fact my mother had to accept. By that point, my heart was completely set.

… … .

tweet!

The morning sun brightened along with the sound of birdsong.

The people walking around the mansion were busily moving around and keeping the mansion neater than usual, and I was walking along the walkway inside the mansion early in the morning while looking at them.

In the end, I couldn’t sleep even a wink.

Even though I stayed up all night and made up my mind, the confusion did not go away.

Because my mother’s reaction was almost predictable… .

Something felt a little off.

Again.

Then the sound of shoes caught my attention.

“oh. “Are you up already?”

There, I saw my mother smiling at me.

She was wearing a thin blouse with the collar gently fastened. As expected, my mother came to the trail in the morning.

Because it has been my mother’s habit for a long time.

“Ah yes. mother.”

“You’re always so diligent, too. Well, since it has been like that in the past, I still go for a walk in the morning like this.”

“You often walked with your mother.”

“Did you remember that?”

I smiled softly as I looked at my mother who came to my side dressed lightly.

‘now.’

I had to say it now.

“mother.”

“huh. “Tell me.”

I nodded slowly while looking at my mother who had been smiling brightly since yesterday.

“I told you I had someone to meet today.”

“yes. I heard he’s an important person… After all, is he the one you like?”

I nodded as I looked at my mother who asked the question with interest.

“yes. “He is someone I really love.”

“As expected… I heard your attitude has been a bit strange since yesterday, so who are you? “Isn’t it time you told me in detail?”

In the warmth of my mother, who gently holds me in her arms and speaks in a subdued tone… .

I opened my mouth, unable to let go.

“And the person I like doesn’t have a family name.”

“…what?”

As my mother blinked and tilted her head, I opened my mouth directly.

“The person I love now does not have a separate family. “I thought she should tell her mother about it first.”

“Now, wait… wait… Carly. Ahaha… he too. I learned how to tell jokes like this while I wasn’t seeing him… I can’t make fun of my mother like that. huh?”

Even as my mother smiled awkwardly and spoke croakingly, I did not avert my gaze.

It was the truth, it was reality.

And I thought I should reveal more because I knew that if I was honest, it would make him feel more comfortable in future meetings.

“The name of the man I am currently in love with is Han Cheon-seong. He might be a bit of an unfamiliar name. I don’t want to joke right now and I don’t want to fool his mother. So, let me clarify first. “I hope you will take the next meeting seriously.”

Tuk.

When I stopped walking and looked at my mother, I saw her staring blankly at me.

“…”

I blinked, but it seemed like my eyes weren’t even focused.

Like a person who has heard something that cannot be heard… .

There was no time left as I met the two eyes that were looking at me with eyes full of extreme distrust.

As my mother’s eyes momentarily blurred, I felt as if I could even hear the sound of my expectations being shattered.

Still, I was able to laugh.

“mother. But that doesn’t mean he’s just a commoner. “He is definitely a man worthy of my love.”
