Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 536



536. Princess Rachel & a shaking heart

***

Grumbling.

As I was untying the knot of the luxurious box, I unconsciously began to look forward to it.

‘prize.’

It was also a reward given by the imperial family.

Maybe it was because I didn’t expect this kind of award for getting rid of the apostle, but I was more looking forward to it.

Tuk.

When I opened the box, I saw something smaller than I expected.

brooch… ?

It seemed more appropriate to view it as a brooch rather than a ring.

It looked like a brooch with a large ruby ​​in it, and it felt a bit luxurious as I gently lifted it.

There was even a small document under the brooch, probably a guarantee made by a craftsman, and I blinked as I touched the brooch.

“How does the design look? Do you like it?”

“Ah, yes… I really like it. “It’s very pretty.”

I actually felt a little awkward while answering. To be honest, I was expecting a reward, but I actually received a brooch with a large jewel on it.

If you exchange this, you could really make a lot of money, but selling something you received as a gift from the royal family was absurd.

“thank god. Since I liked it, I placed a separate order with the chief craftsman who issues orders at the imperial court. “It was completed faster than expected, so I called you to give it to you.”

“…Thank you very much. “I am so grateful that you gave me such a great gift.”

“You don’t have to be so humble. According to Sir Isabelle’s detailed report, I heard that the apostle he dealt with was quite a vicious apostle. It seems like quite a few people of the empire have been harmed. If there are people like you who took the risk and took the risk, shouldn’t they be compensated accordingly?”

I nodded absently, looking at Rachel who was smiling brightly.

“I’m just more grateful that you said that.”

Now, I can say that I have a certain tolerance for looks, but even though I don’t easily attract attention to other women… .

The sight of Rachel suddenly smiling seemed to instantly lift my spirits.

‘Come to your senses, Han Cheon-seong.’

I gently pinched my thigh with one hand and controlled myself from looking at her as if I was fascinated.

Although I woke up a little from the slight pain, I looked at the brooch closely.

“You can wear whatever clothes you want. Although it is said to be a magic engineering item, it will still help relieve fatigue a little.”

“ah. “Does it have that effect?”

“yes. “I thought you wouldn’t be very happy if I just gave you the gems, so I added some additional options.”

As he smiled and rested his chin again, I unconsciously looked at the brooch again.

‘If it’s enough to give such a magic to a gem like this… .’

How expensive is this reward?

Sigh.

As I gently caressed the surface of the ruby, I realized that it was so smooth that no amount of craftsmanship could create such a surface.

“no. Should I put it on myself?”

“yes? “Oh, no, it’s okay.”

“That’s Okay. Don’t refuse. Since you gave me this gift, I thought it would be a good idea to treat you a little better. “We’ll be seeing each other quite often from now on, so I can show you this kind of favor.”

I couldn’t refuse any more when I saw Rachel continuing to speak almost as if she was forcing me to do so.

When I handed the brooch that I was holding so awkwardly to Rachel, who came up to me, she accepted it without hesitation and tapped my collar.

Tap, tap.

The hand that seemed to lightly adjust my collar made me flinch for a moment without realizing it.

“…!”

For a moment, I was startled by a tingling sensation as if an electric current was flowing through my body.

Apparently, Rachel had only touched me lightly, as if straightening my clothes. However, the strange feeling of a shiver running through my whole body, as if a huge amount of heat was spreading out from there, was so foreign.

“Foot… There’s no need to be so nervous.”

Perhaps because I perceived myself differently, I tried my best to look natural as I saw Rachel smiling.

“…How can you not be nervous when facing the princess?”

“It’s not bad to hear something, even if it’s just lip service. So which one would you like? Here or here?”

I hesitated for a moment as he spoke while touching the upper left breast and the area opposite it.

ㅡ!

I was definitely going to answer that anywhere would be fine. That didn’t come out of my mouth.

also.

It was again.

The body reacts strongly as if it has been burned with great heat.

‘Why, why are you doing this?’

Even though I couldn’t understand my own body, I was a little hesitant to look at Rachel who was nearby.

It feels like it would be dangerous to make eye contact with something.

Suddenly she felt very burdened. No, more precisely… .

It felt strangely attractive, to the point of embarrassment.

“Are you not going to tell me where?”

I belatedly opened my mouth as he urged me to answer in a subdued tone.

“Ah… Then, I would like you to do it in the upper right corner.”

“Then I will do that.”

Slurp.

My heart seemed to boil as I accepted the hand that was gently pressing the upper part of my right breast, as if gently straightening the collar.

iceberg.

Snowy mountain area.

I tried to calm my mind by recalling scenes that I couldn’t force.

Something… .

Something was really strange.

Crash.

Soon, the brooch was fastened to the upper right hem of my cadet uniform with the sound of the seam coming together, and I gently bit my tongue.

It was an action to force myself to control myself because I couldn’t show my unnaturalness outwardly.

“…It suits you better than I thought.”

Even as I watched Rachel appreciating the brooch she had given me, I wanted her to get away from me.

…Now that the business is over, I want you to stop widening your distance.

When I looked at her with such earnest intent, she gazed at the brooch and then gently raised her head.

Still hasn’t let go of me.

“……”

And when her eyes, which seemed to shine brighter than rubies, met me, I was momentarily dizzy.

Tight.

When I tried to bite my tongue, I felt like blood would come out, so I forced myself to bite my lip.

“Are you saying anything?”

“…thank you.”

“Please try saying something other than thank you. “I don’t want to have such a vertical relationship with you.”

When she smiled softly, I avoided my gaze without realizing it.

I knew that it was an act of disrespect, but I didn’t think I should face it.

I don’t know why, but my physical condition was in danger.

Strangely enough, I started to think out loud and become aware of Rachel in front of me. It was immediately noticeable that it was abnormal.

“…sorry. Princess. “When I looked at it up close… the princess’s beauty was so dazzling that I couldn’t look at it.”

Even though I belatedly apologized, I didn’t even know what I was talking about.

But I just wanted this situation to end.

“No, I told you to say something else. Are you suddenly saying that? “Even though it’s me, I’m a little embarrassed.”

Tuk.

The moment when I felt a very strange touch of her hand touching the brooch hanging on my chest.

Again.

Finally, Rachel pulled away from me.

“Well, considering our position, it might be a little burdensome for me to act like this. “I’ll just go back to my seat.”

“…thank you.”

Without realizing it, a deep breath escaped me and I nodded.

I felt like I had been saved for ten years just because she was away from me. Because I felt like I was going to do something without even knowing it.

“Instead, promise me one thing. Han Cheon-seong, do you understand that you will not say thank you to me from now on?”

As she was about to go back to her seat, she stopped, looked at me, and said something to me, and she nodded blankly.

“Yes… I will.”

“You told me at the previous Demon Tower. You chose to be with me, and I, too, choose to be with you. But I don’t like it when you treat me as hard as you do now. “I’m like that too.”

From noble mtl dot come

When she finally sat down after giving a detailed explanation, I let out a short breath and nodded.

“…Since you say so, I will try harder in the future as well.”

“Well, rather than saying things like that, I wish I could treat you a little more comfortably. Because that kind of person is Han Cheon-seong. Yes, I like it.”

Even as I faced Rachel, who was gently smiling, my gaze wavered without my knowledge.

‘how… .’

What is it?

can not understand.

And you can’t know.

But just looking at Rachel, just seeing her smile, my body and my emotions react as if they are boiling over.

I didn’t have that feeling at all, but from the moment I saw her, it felt like my body was reacting.

As if I had met the person of my destiny… .

I felt like I was naturally drawn to her.

“First, let’s have some tea and talk slowly. “If you think about it, I should have served you tea first, but when I saw you, I guess I wanted to reward you too much.”

Her friendly voice seemed to pierce my ears.

As if a lover was whispering to me.

“…it’s okay.”

Although I tried to answer calmly, my perspective narrowed.

‘I don’t know.’

Why am I doing this?

I was perplexed and perplexed as to why my heart felt so shaken and my body trembled as I looked at Rachel.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

“ha.”

I exhaled slowly and forced my mind to calm down.

Even now, my heart was full of heat. It seemed like it would explode at any moment if I made even the slightest mistake.

That too, out of my mind and into my body. And I felt like I could express my feelings to Rachel as soon as possible. I had to control it at least by force.

“For some reason… don’t you feel a little strange today? “Are you not feeling well?”

Then, I smiled awkwardly at what I heard and shook my head.

I hope this time ends a little sooner… .

I just desperately hoped that it would end well somehow.

But, like a contradiction, my heart also wants to be with Rachel more. I couldn’t deny it.

And it was so hard for even me to accept my feelings.

***

Crash.

Rachel blinked blankly as she watched Cheon-cheon slowly moving away as the door closed.

Suddenly she looked at her hands and suddenly swallowed.

“…it’s okay.”

A clear feeling came.

This was a harbinger of an undeniable trait. When the charm was activated, I knew how many people looked at me.

And today was completely different from when I adjusted the intensity and didn’t use the characteristics.

“Princess Rachel.”

“uh. selenium.”

“…Can I follow him and give him some attention?”

Then, when Selene quietly appeared and spoke, I laughed and asked back.

“By caution, do you mean to warn Han Tiansheng?”

“yes. In fact, I know that you have formed a close relationship. But… he seems to have presumptuous feelings for the princess.”

As soon as he gets my permission, he’s going to approach Han Cheon-seong and say something harsh. I naturally took Selene’s hand.

“No, don’t do it.”

“…yes?”

I couldn’t help but smile as I looked at Selene, who was surprised as if I knew she would naturally give permission.

I was truly, purely happy.

No, I even felt something a little stranger than joy.

‘Finally, that man’s heart… .’

It was pointed towards me. That also took a really long time.

I have never used the charm trait to this extent on anyone before, and this was the first time even I had used it to my heart’s content without putting such a limit on the strength of the charm.

But today, my actions were finally able to see the light of day.

“…Princess Rachel. He is a commoner. Moreover, lovers also exist. But are you really… not going to pay attention?”

Even though Selene, who did not know the situation, spoke with a more determined expression, I was rather relaxed.

“You can just leave it as is. On the contrary, I don’t think that’s bad.”

Even as he spoke, he gently brushed his hair.

From the beginning, I knew what kind of situation the man was in. Still, it didn’t really matter.

This is because he knows that I have continued to contact him and put my hands on him.

“…but.”

“Selene, stop now. “The princess said it was okay.”

When Elin came forward to stop Selene from continuing to protest, I gently held my chin while looking at them.

Grumbling.

Even though my disheveled blonde hair was blocking my view… I felt strangely excited.

‘I do not know either.’

I don’t think I meant to use charm in this way from the beginning.

For now, I was just pure joy that he had turned his heart to me. I didn’t think much of it, just the fact itself was okay.

The man who seemed like he wouldn’t give me his heart no matter what I did.

The fact that I have finally opened my eyes as a member of the opposite s*x… … .
