Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 684
684. I’m confessing this because I like a man named Han Cheon-seong.
***
“I’ll be honest. If you… … “I don’t think it would be a waste even if you gave me away.”
Celestia’s brilliant voice rang through the air. But now, the only people who heard her sincere voice were Cheon and her guard knight, Neril.
ㅡ!
In an instant, Neril scattered mana around the area, blocking out the outside world and sound.
“… … Lady Celestia.”
After hesitating his lips for a moment, Cheonseong carefully called out to her.
“yes.”
“Since you have shown me such undeserved favor, I will also tell you honestly how I feel. “I promise that there will be no lies in what I say and that I will tell you only the truth.”
When Celestia nervously made eye contact with Cheonseong’s serious voice, Cheonseong took a deep breath and continued speaking.
“I think any man in the world would be moved if someone as beautiful as you expressed favor. And I am no exception to that category. “The more I met her and talked to her, the more I realized that she had an even more beautiful heart in addition to her outstanding appearance.”
In a friendly voice, Cheonseong released his feelings.
He said he was happy to receive the confession and that he was no different from other men and that he realized that her inner self was even more beautiful.
Every word he said sounded very pleasant to Celestia.
“… … thank you.”
So she smiled and answered without thinking.
Because they were all giving positive emotions to themselves with good answers.
“But, my lady. Right now, I really don’t think I understand why the lady is conveying her feelings to me like this. So, while the Lady has revealed her heart in this way, it is difficult to give an exact answer. To be honest, it’s really… … “I’m very confused.”
“Are you saying you don’t understand why I confessed?”
When Celestia immediately got to the point of what Cheonseong said, Cheonseong slowly nodded.
“yes. That’s right.”
And when he made eye contact with her in a serious tone of voice, Celestia looked at him with a moment of curiosity.
Even she knew that it was a sudden confession.
Even if he thought about it, there was no time left, so there was nothing more urgent to say.
Still, it was amazing.
He says he thinks he’s beautiful and thinks good of himself, but he can’t answer because he doesn’t know the reason why he confessed… … . For her part, it was just amazing.
“Before you answer, I would like to ask you a question. Do you really need a ‘reason’?”
“… … yes?”
As Cheonseong paused and blinked, Celestia smiled a transparent yet extremely gentle smile.
“I completely understand why you are so embarrassed and confused about my confession. That’s because I was so sudden. And I also know that there has been absolutely not enough time for us to meet or talk. But is that time really necessary?”
“Young lady, I… … It’s hard to know what you’re trying to say. You don’t know much about me, do you? And so do I. I don’t know much about Young-Ae. “Even though we encountered each other a few times, it was extremely insufficient time to get to know each other.”
Cheonseong spoke carefully.
They don’t even understand each other, so I don’t know why they’re trying to confess their feelings and why they’re trying to narrow the distance… … He was truly reflecting her own feelings to her.
“I don’t think it’s a big deal that we don’t know each other.”
Despite this, Celestia did not waver.
“… … .”
As Cheonseong gaped at the straightforward answer, Celestia smiled lightly.
Strangely enough, the nature reflected in her eyes all seemed to overlap.
‘A person like this can exist.’
Really, everything was so ideal from start to finish that the person in front of me felt much bigger than the main character in the novel.
Funny enough, even now that he was trying to ask for my understanding by answering me with realistic words, I was feeling a completely different charm about him.
I could feel from his words and the way he looked at me that he had a greater charm than the men portrayed in novels, no matter how attractive they were.
“It’s a really simple story. “I’m confessing this because I like a man named Han Cheon-seong.”
Tuk.
That’s why I had to give him the answer he wanted.
I was extremely embarrassed to have to go beyond just confessing and reveal my feelings, but there was no answer I could give him other than this.
“… … I think I’ve definitely proven my worth. I think that by winning the Grand Colosseum, I went beyond my status as a commoner and made everyone know who I am. I don’t underestimate myself. Even so, I don’t think my value is higher than that of the former lady.”
His words about not underestimating made me laugh strangely.
He is now putting me down and putting me down. Then he was lowering himself by that in itself.
Even though I was in a position to inherit the Yurisian family as the duke’s eldest daughter, he still didn’t really know his own worth.
“That’s surprising. “I thought your value was similar to mine, even if I set it low.”
So I personally told him his value.
Even if he underestimates himself, his worth is comparable to mine now.
I flinch.
He was about to continue speaking for a moment, but when he swallowed his breath, a laugh escaped him.
Were my words that surprising?
In the first place, I decided to give myself to him because he was worth that much, aside from his outstanding charm.
Because there is no way I would truly give my all to a man of lower value than me.
“… … “Are you really okay with just my fragmentary appearance?”
“yes. And even as we talk now, I think I’m seeing many new sides of you. And even that doesn’t seem bad to me at all.”
Strangely, the more we talked, the more relaxed I became.
Excited.
Excited.
Now that I confessed and faced him, my heart was still beating violently, but his cautious attitude actually helped me relax.
“Do you want to understand me more here?”
When I readily said that I could show my feelings more, he smiled awkwardly and shook his head.
“no… … . it’s okay. What the Lady wants to say now is… … understand.”
“Then I want to hear your answer now. Even though we have had little time together and little time to understand each other, I care about you even more. “So today, I want to further establish my relationship with you.”
He smiled and spoke.
I felt it intuitively. He was confused and embarrassed by me, but now the way he looks at me has completely changed.
In addition, instead of being cautious before and just treating me like the duke’s daughter, now that he heard my feelings, a huge ripple was clearly created in his heart… … .
Sreuk.
I gently rested my chin on the table and looked at him.
“… … .”
My heart was beating harder as I looked at the handsome man, but I was still able to wait.
No matter what answer he gives me… … .
‘I’ll give you an answer that will satisfy me.’
***
I felt a deep gaze.
You can’t tell because you’re looking at it with your own eyes. Celestia’s eyes are fixed on me as she waits for my answer.
And as she waited in silence, I was barely able to get my mind straight with my mind turning white.
‘It could be like this.’
Even though I thought about it for a moment, I couldn’t help but pause.
She emotionally reflected her feelings to me, and I rationally asked her why she had feelings for me.
And now that I’ve heard all the answers, I vaguely understand.
‘I asked about the reason for the confession… … .’
I felt so foolish.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Even now, I felt it as I met her transparent purple eyes.
She was sincere.
There is no other special reason for liking me.
And even if she doesn’t really understand me, she already has me in her heart, and she thinks my value is so high that it’s comparable to her own.
Everyone spoke sincerely.
So my initial thoughts changed a lot.
“Whoa.”
I let out a short breath and gently clenched and unclenched my hands.
Cold sweat was flowing from my hands. Just as my mind was extremely tense, my body was also extremely tense.
Something… … I felt very ashamed of myself like this.
I just looked at my reality, thought only of myself, and tried to meet her.
In my future life, I tried to build a friendship with her, considering not only her personal power, but also the power of the duke’s family.
And, going even further, I was even thinking of intentionally leaving room for her, whether we became lovers or not, as if I was taking advantage of her favor towards me.
It was so embarrassing now. So I looked back at myself again.
“… … “I’m truly sorry.”
Even in my dazed state, I handed him an apple first.
“Why do you… … Are you apologizing?”
A blank laugh escaped me as I saw her pause and her expression hardened.
It seemed like she had made a huge misunderstanding, but all I could think of was that I should apologize right away.
“Compared to the fact that you looked at me so sincerely, I did not look at you properly.”
To the point where I feel so embarrassed that I faced her with my own self-interest and vain feelings like power… … She showed me great sincerity.
But how could I not apologize to her?
“What I mean is that you didn’t look at me properly… … .”
Even though I looked at her cautiously, I immediately felt at ease.
‘What is the reason for liking someone?’
I just looked at her as she was and put into my mouth what I felt right now.
“Can I like you from now on?”
“… … !”
Seeing her pause at my words, I suddenly became convinced.
I have a strange belief that if I could promise a future with the woman in front of me right now, we would have a better future for each other… … .
