Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 529



529. Meeting – Each other’s hearts (3)

***

Why is what has been accomplished important?

Why is it important to be born with it?

And why is it important to have something to stand for… … .

While answering Calterra’s question and exchanging short words, such thoughts appeared and disappeared in Cheonseong’s mind countless times.

‘Carly’s mother… .’

Even if you try to look good at me, you can’t.

I realized it so naturally.

Since we first met, and even now that we are eating together. I couldn’t help but notice how Carly’s mother looked at me.

The way she looked at me was definitely not friendly, and it felt like there was an edge in her wary questions.

However, while I was being asked various questions, I didn’t feel it was strange at all.

I just accepted it calmly.

Even if I were her, I would definitely have asked that question.

-The eldest daughter of the earl’s family.

Kali was evaluated as the axis of the empire both in name and reality and achieved such great achievements that she was even given the nickname Blood Dawn.

That was Carly’s own evaluation of herself.

How can a mother who has such an outstanding daughter evaluate me favorably when she sees me, a commoner with no parents or family of any kind?

I might have been grateful to her for not immediately shutting me out or pointing and yelling at me.

“I am a cadet from the Central Academy.”

As I answered, my heart stirred a little strangely.

…My heart sank.

My heart, which had been filled with anticipation, suddenly calmed down and was like the surface of a lake without any ripples.

“……”

I saw her eyes looking at me blankly, slowly moving from me to Kali, then blinking and then opening her hands.

“Carly!!”

Then, when she shouted loudly, I paused for a moment and looked.

“mother.”

…I bit my lip while looking at Kali calmly answering.

“You… you… how on earth can you do this? “Now… ha… I’m really… speechless.”

The atmosphere seemed to become even colder as he seemed so shocked that he couldn’t even speak properly.

Seeing her covering her mouth and bursting into laughter at the end, I looked at Carly blankly.

There was nothing I could do in this situation.

‘You didn’t tell me in advance.’

I found out later.

Carly hadn’t told her mother that I was a cadet, but strangely enough, I had just… calmly accepted that fact.

It felt like everything was over.

It didn’t seem like there would be any more proper conversation between my mother and me, and the thin ice-like atmosphere that had continued so precariously just a moment ago seemed to have shattered.

Sreuk.

“…Today, this place…let’s pretend it never happened, okay, let’s pretend it never happened.”

My mother got up from her seat, gave me a cold look, and then walked away, and I just stared at her blankly.

‘Have I been too ahead of my heart?’

That was all I could think of for a moment. I didn’t know that maybe Carly and I were too concerned about each other.

I regret that I should have been in a position like this when I was a little more myself and could proudly show it off.

Again, again!

As I watched my mother leave the hall, I couldn’t even call her cold.

It just felt like it was something that was bound to happen.

“…I’m so sorry. It really wasn’t the place for this to happen, but first… Could you wait in the living room for a moment? “I will speak properly and make room again.”

“I’m fine.”

As Carly, who spoke carefully, soon left the room with her mother, I took a small breath and wiped my face.

Sreuk.

I gently unbuttoned the top button of my shirt so I could breathe easier… but I gathered my thoughts.

‘It must have all been strange so far.’

Rather than being shocked by this situation, I came to think that way.

The women who had accepted me so far had been very good people, and I couldn’t think that my mother, who had just left, was bad.

reality.

This was just the stark reality.

If I, a commoner, wanted to date a woman from an aristocratic family, I would inevitably encounter great resistance.

That wasn’t strange at all. Even if this were reality, I think it would have been similar.

Perhaps, if a decent woman belonging to a wealthy family introduces a man who has nothing as her fiancé, what kind of parents would easily allow it and accept it kindly?

It was such a funny story.

“…I need a place to present myself.”

While muttering, he calmed his eyes further.

It wasn’t just that I was despairing and heartbroken by reality. Something that will turn this gloomy atmosphere around right now. I started thinking more and remembering what I needed.

And that was my ‘proof of worth’.

Until now, I had only become acutely aware of what my reputation was from the outside world. Still, I didn’t think I had anything.

My current location.

my worth.

It’s only valuable to those who know me now. So, to people who didn’t know me, I was just a commoner who had nothing.

That’s why it was even more necessary.

“I have a place to prove myself.”

I mumbled and slowly got up from my seat.

It seemed to me that there was a clear breakthrough.

What is the biggest opportunity to change the way Carly’s mother views me 180 degrees in a single moment?

Jerk.

Even as I walked slowly, my mind was no longer dark.

No, I was rather confident.

***

Slam!

With the sound of the door closing, Kali looked at Calterra in the inner room.

“mother.”

“…I don’t want to talk to you anymore today.”

“mother.”

“Carly. Didn’t I tell you? “I don’t want to talk anymore.”

As cold voices came and went, the atmosphere in the room seemed to instantly freeze.

However, Kali’s eyes did not waver at all as she looked at Calterra.

“I think you’d be very surprised.”

“I would have been very surprised… Ha, Carly. Do you really think that’s what you’re saying to me? “Are you really saying this because you think it’s the right thing to say!?”

Swish!

When Calterra, who had been staring blankly at the window of the inner room, turned around and glared at Kali and opened her mouth, her aura had such a strange aura that it was difficult for anyone to make eye contact with her.

-Calterra Ishtar.

As a woman from the Ishtar family, she also had a great reputation in the past, so the look in her eyes now was not one that a criminal could face.

However.

However, that did not mean that Kali, who followed her, avoided Calterra’s gaze.

Rather, Kali calmly met Calterra’s cold eyes and answered.

“If I hadn’t told him about it first, my mother would have rejected him before she even met him. is not it?”

Rather, Kali’s voice as she asked Calterra about her doctor did not waver.

At the very least, it seems like he didn’t reveal the truth in order to set up this meeting.

“Ha… As your mother, I really don’t understand why you are acting like this. I won’t make a concession and say anything about the man being a commoner. People of the opposite s*x in their prime can have affectionate feelings for each other, and anyone can make mistakes. But Carly, have you even forgotten your position?”

At first it was anger.

And after that, I feel empty.

Immediately afterwards, there was emptiness… .

Calterra’s voice, speaking with all kinds of emotions mixed together, was rather pitiful.

It was a voice full of sadness because I couldn’t understand why my daughter had changed like this or why she was making such a big mistake.

“……”

Kali, who was staring at Calterra without answering, was gathering her thoughts for a moment, but to Calterra, Kali seemed to be hesitant.

So she spoke urgently.

“Kali, the remarkable achievements you made on the front lines, your high reputation, and the unique nickname you were given by being named as an axis of the empire… And aren’t you now, more than anything else, an instructor at the academy? Have you suddenly forgotten all that? “What on earth were you thinking to create such a ridiculous situation?”

As Calterra continued speaking as if she was making an earnest appeal, Kali soon smiled slightly.

What Caltera said was a straightforward statement.

All of those are straight forward opinions.

Still, Carly smiled lightly.

“mother.”

“Yes, it’s never too late, so let’s pretend that everything that happened today never happened… Think about your position again… … ”

“I can’t think of anything more. I am clearly aware of my current position and that although I am an instructor at the academy, I am in a romantic relationship with a cadet. No, I have never forgotten that even for a moment.”

Kali answered calmly without hesitation at all.

He carefully approached Calterra, who was blinking blankly, and spoke again.

“Mom, yet I chose this future.”

“…Are you saying that you chose this path even after knowing everything?”

“that’s right. I care about him to that extent, and more than anything, I didn’t choose him based on emotions. Because he has that much value to him. I know that his mother would be disappointed and surprised to see the circumstances in which he is now placed. But you still don’t know what his true nature is, right?”

When Kali, who continued speaking with a calm smile, gently cupped Calterra’s hand, Calterra was left speechless.

Calterra was feeling great about seeing Kali like that right now.

There was no way she wouldn’t know, as she had been watching her daughter for a long time since childhood and looked after her with affection.

What kind of feelings does Kali speak to herself?

“Are you really… seriously saying that?”

I wasn’t asking that because Calterra didn’t know.

Kali, who spoke calmly while making eye contact and holding hands, clearly meant it.

“yes. I’m serious. So, today you can’t pretend it never happened. “My mother still has no idea of ​​his true value, so she plans to show him his true value from now on.”

Still, I asked because I couldn’t accept it without hearing it again.

“…It’s true.”

It was like words that Calterra couldn’t understand.

The true worth and true character of a man named Han Cheon-seong. His worth… .

She also felt that every word Kali said had a meaningful meaning.

What great value must he have for Kali to speak to him with such confidence even in this ridiculous situation?

From noble mtl dot come

“So, go back to your seat. And please look at him again. “What kind of man is the man I chose?”
