Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 609



609. Han Cheon-seong and Rachel’s reunion – excitement (2)

***

“why… .”

Rachel’s gaze involuntarily followed Celine’s voice.

“… … .”

And for a moment, she stopped breathing without realizing it.

It was right there.

The person she so desperately wanted to meet and see up close. There is also someone I want to talk to and spend time with again… … .

It existed in a completely different form now.

She also knew that Han Cheon-seong would come dressed up as several maids said that they would take care to prepare well on their own.

But when I actually encountered it, I was very surprised.

‘My impression changes so much.’

It was really very different.

They just changed the outfit they were wearing, but their appearance was completely different from what they saw in the stadium today.

His poomsae was refined, and his movements and face were elegant and cute.

“… … .”

As if they were as surprised as me, their eyes showed a innocence that was completely different from their appearance.

“… … “You came early.”

I continued to look and when I belatedly opened my mouth, I saw him nodding his head carefully.

“Yes, Princess Rachel. “I came early because I thought I couldn’t be late as you invited me.”

As he spoke carefully and approached me, my heart started pounding like crazy just by that alone.

Jerk.

That… … .

One step. As I got closer, my heart seemed to beat louder.

And the closer I looked, the more I unconsciously kept my mouth shut. As I was watching, I felt like I was going to exclaim in admiration like a fool without realizing it.

‘You look handsome.’

Why didn’t I know in the past that he was this handsome?

When I liked him, I knew he was handsome, but I didn’t think I liked him based on his looks.

The average appearance of all royal family members encountered in the imperial castle was very high, so it was extremely rare for anyone to be surprised by their appearance.

however.

Jerk.

Han Cheon-seong, who was now standing in front of me and carefully approaching me, looked so handsome that even I was surprised.

“I’m sorry I haven’t been able to visit you for a while.”

When he readily apologized, I unconsciously shook my head.

“no. There’s no need to apologize. “I know you’ve been busy.”

“…Still, I think I should come visit you. “I think you must have been very disappointed with me.”

For a moment, I couldn’t get used to the soft speaking voice.

‘what… … .’

After rejecting me so firmly in our last meeting, where he rejected my heart. Why did he speak so softly when they reunited like this?

The gap felt too big.

“I was very disappointed with you… … .”

Maybe it was because the surprise was so great, but my true feelings leaked out without me even realizing it.

Even though I should have said that it was okay and that I understood him. The true thoughts I had kept in my heart came out through my mouth.

“… … Is that so?”

I nodded slowly, looking at him smiling awkwardly, as if he was a little surprised by my words.

I felt like I was speechless.

I like it.

Realized feelings.

And it did not subside or decrease in size as time passed. That was surprising to me too. Because it was through this man that I felt for the first time that love was such a big emotion.

And it has become even bigger now.

I couldn’t deny that I was more attracted to him who looked cooler and more handsome.

I gathered my courage and opened my mouth.

“Good. “Since we’re here so early, let’s talk for a little while before the dinner starts.”

Selene and Elin told me early on that I shouldn’t express interest in him.

Even if I look at him, I have to keep a distance and pretend not to see him. But I didn’t want to do that. That was how I felt towards Han Cheon-seong right now.

“… … yes. “Of course.”

I gently turned around to see him stopping at my words but unable to reject them.

Again.

Originally, I had planned to go into the grand hall and briefly check to see if there were any shortcomings, but there was no need to do that now.

Because something much more important has happened.

Jerk.

I took a deep breath, conscious of him walking carefully at my pace.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Even as we walk together, there is no conversation between us.

Selene and Elin began to maintain silence and show a non-disruptive attitude, and naturally, silence prevailed in the space.

Sreuk.

Still, my eyes were drawn to it.

Without realizing it, I looked at his profile.

Then, it felt bigger. The charm of the man who decorated himself neatly with his conquests was much greater than I knew.

Calm eyes. The sharp nose line and light red lips all caught my eye.

‘He must be very conscious of me.’

There is no way he would have forgotten me, as he was influenced more strongly by the charm trait than anyone else.

Even after rejecting me, he clearly thought of me every day and continued to be conscious of me.

Even though I wasn’t charmed… … .

Even if it didn’t reach the level of emotion I had when I thought of him, it was at least clear that he was looking at me too.

It’s not that easy to escape from my characteristics. Because I know best.

So my heart was a little relieved.

‘I’m sure I’m not the only one who likes him.’

Han Tiansheng, this man was clearly aware of my gaze and must have missed me.

Again.

As I walked away again, I calmly kept my mouth shut.

Considering Selene and Elin’s advice, I thought it made sense.

A woman who approaches first, approaches first, and shows interest first. And clinging to her partner is unattractive.

This feels even more so for a man who already has another woman.

So, I will be patient.

Until I entered the inner room and talked to him alone.

I also didn’t want to hastily show interest in him or show him that I was clinging to him.

gulp.

Even as I thought that, the sound of swallowing seemed to be unusually loud.

tension. Heart pounding. flutter.

Now many emotions are shaking my heart.

‘are you okay. calm down.’

Above all, I will definitely impress upon him my existence today.

Even if he rejects me, I make sure he can’t reject me again… … .

I invited him to this dinner with the intention of making him look at me.

***

Again.

The elegant sound of shoes.

And even more than that, the interior of the huge mansion that came into view was at the peak of extravagance.

It was difficult to express it simply in terms of splendor or grandeur, but the impression I felt as I followed Rachel by nature was different.

‘Could it be that the imperial family is more luxurious than this?’

I even had that thought in a daze.

This was my first time experiencing such a luxurious building in the empire, so I had no choice but to be cautious.

I never even dreamed that I would meet Rachel not long after I was permitted to enter the mansion.

“… … .”

Her subtle gaze cannot help but be felt as blatant.

Even now, I was feeling a little troubled as I felt her eyes on me.

‘Making eye contact also.’

It was also strange that we didn’t meet each other.

When I made eye contact with her, I felt sorry, and when I didn’t make eye contact, it was difficult for me to keep my body from her blatant gaze.

Crash.

And when she finally opened the door to a boudoir and entered, I felt rather relieved.

Because now I have no choice but to make eye contact with her.

“Sit comfortably.”

“yes. Princess.”

As I sat down on the sofa in the living room, feeling not at all comfortable, I swallowed briefly.

My mouth felt dry.

I’m getting attention again from a girl I was unintentionally dumping, and now I need to make time to talk alone.

I can’t refuse that either.

Considering Rachel’s position in the imperial family, she is a woman I should continue to meet in the future.

“Is there a car you like?”

The maid waiting in the living room approached me and whispered to me, and I cautiously opened my mouth.

“Please give me black tea.”

Since I had no knowledge of tea, black tea was actually the easiest.

“yes. “I will prepare right away.”

Even as I watched the maid leave immediately to make tea, I carefully kept my gaze straight ahead.

There was a beautiful woman there, looking at me with her legs crossed in a relaxed manner.

Blonde hair with a clear presence and a red dress that attracts intense attention. And an even more beautiful face gazes calmly at me.

“It suits you better than I thought. “I guess the maid has been paying quite a bit of attention to you.”

I realized he was referring to my clothes, so I smiled awkwardly.

“…I am just grateful for the princess’s consideration.”

“You don’t have to answer so harshly. It’s not like I’m doing anything bad to you or anything like that, but you’re just so nervous. And I told you this before. “Our relationship will continue in the future.”

“yes. “I’ll try to speak a little more comfortably.”

Even as she answered cautiously, her eyes staring into mine were so intense.

As I felt the first time I saw her upon entering the mansion, Rachel was an attractive woman to everyone.

So much so that it feels fatal.

Even when I visited this mansion after gathering myself like that, I felt like my heart was broken again.

Now, I feel like I understand a little bit why I was so excited when I saw her in the past, and why my eyes were drawn to her to the point where I felt like she was my destined partner.

‘It’s just… it’s ridiculously pretty.’

Her beauty was such that I wondered if I needed any more reason than that.

That’s why the Rachel in the dress that I saw right now seemed so overwhelmingly beautiful.

Ok.

“… … .”

Afterwards, I could barely take my eyes off her as the maid made a gesture to put down the tea.

“Do you hate making eye contact with me like that?”

And immediately after hearing the coquettish voice, I pinched my thigh without realizing it.

‘You have to pull yourself together.’

…Her light voice and every action felt so fatal to me.
