Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 685
685. The duke’s daughter’s expression of love
***
ㅡHa… … .
A silent sigh escaped from a woman’s heart.
It was the sigh of Isabelle, the female knight who guarded Cheonseong’s side in the invisible space of the golden curtain.
“… … .”
She looked at Cheonseong and Celestia with very complex eyes.
The flow of emotions coming and going is unusual. And even the content of the conversation was completely unusual.
‘at last. ‘Is this how it ends up?’
I didn’t know what happened while I wasn’t with him. Of course, we cannot know what happened within the Grand Colosseum because we were not able to observe it. However, I roughly understood the content of the conversation.
-I like him.
That woman, who was the daughter of a duke and had more power than a lower-ranking royal family member, now wanted him strongly.
And now he was shaken by her sincerity.
He had great intentions in building a friendship with her, but his attitude is changing after her blunt confession. And I vaguely understood it.
‘It’s love without reason… … .’
A concise reason given by the daughter of a duke who likes him.
Ironically, that was the feeling I least understood.
To have someone in your heart without any conditions or even a reason.
That was a very distant reason for me, who aims to become a golden knight who protects the noble royal family, and continues to do so.
From noble mtl dot come
The golden knight was the one who solidified the priority of existence that must be maintained for the empire and devoted himself to the empire.
‘I thought love without a reason was nonsense… … .’
Before I knew it, I now understood its meaning.
“… … I’m kind of embarrassed. “I never thought I’d hear those words from you.”
The lady’s face clearly brightened, and that was because she clearly expressed her favor. He said that he looked at the lady he gave her properly and that he would like her from now on.
Seeing the young lady with the face of a girl in love, I couldn’t stop laughing.
‘Even if I know I’m having a girl, there’s nothing I can do.’
What I felt wasn’t helplessness.
Yesterday, when I found out that Adelia and her secret lover were involved in a strange s*xual relationship, I felt a great deal of emotional turmoil along with jealousy.
Seeing him with an unexpected woman like that after seeing him for the first time in a month made me very emotional.
But now I have just accepted it with resignation.
‘That’s right… … .’
That’s how happy I am.
Even the woman who was the daughter of the dukedom, who was in a position of universal recognition, was now in front of him, showing pure affection, like a gentle rabbit.
So I couldn’t help but understand what he was saying about looking at her properly.
As a fellow woman, in my opinion, she was extremely beautiful and also possessed great power.
It was no exaggeration to say that being in a relationship with Lady Celestia and gaining the support of Duke Yurisian was a much greater power than being in a relationship with Princess Rachel and belonging to a faction.
‘There’s no way I could reject a woman like that.’
I thought that no matter what man there was, he could not reject a woman like Young-ae. A woman who is beautiful to anyone can see such pure affection. In addition, she was a woman who possessed enormous power as the eldest daughter of a duke.
Additionally, the person I knew no longer harbored only ideals.
Because he is already discerning whether someone will be of strength to him or not and how much of a force he will be on his way forward.
Sreuk.
As he gently touched the lady’s hand, without realizing it, he gently grabbed my hand.
Something was strange.
In the past, even when he shared his feelings or affection with other women, I was able to look on relatively calmly even if I didn’t like the sight itself.
But now it wasn’t as easy as I thought.
‘I’m jealous now… … ‘Maybe.’
Even though I was aware of my thoughts, I gently let out a small breath. The longer I was away from him, the more my desire seemed to grow stronger.
***
Jerbeok, ttogak… … .
The sound of small steps fills the space between us. And it was no exaggeration to say that the atmosphere between the man and woman had changed almost 180 degrees from before they entered the cafe.
More than anything, the awkwardness disappeared to a surprising extent.
Cheonseong inadvertently felt that way.
“… … .”
As I gently glanced to the side, the platinum-blonde hair that fell as I walked was shining brilliantly in the sunlight.
And her delicate face underneath was extremely beautiful.
‘This is what it felt like.’
The saying, “love at first sight,” actually didn’t apply to me. Because I thought that when it comes to liking or loving someone, you need to understand the other person and take time.
however… … I now know that that is not necessarily the case.
Celestia approached me, and her sincerity greatly changed my heart.
My feelings had changed so drastically that I now said I liked her too.
Sreuk.
“… … .”
And when she suddenly met my eyes, she stopped.
When the most transparent purple eyes looked at me, I found myself staring at them as if I was captivated.
Such a beautiful and noble woman… … The fact that she liked me first was just amazing to her.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Oh, it’s nothing.”
I couldn’t think of anything to say for a moment, so I tried to change the conversation.
“It’s okay to be honest. “Why are you looking at me?”
She urged me with a smile so beautiful that it seemed like a flower in full bloom.
Then, I couldn’t give another answer.
“… … “I looked at it because it was so beautiful.”
When I carefully reflected what I felt, her eyes widened for a moment and then drew a beautiful line.
“Really, the more I get to know you, the weirder you seem. “Why do you only say things that I like to hear?”
“I’m just saying what I felt. “Isn’t the young lady beautiful no matter who sees it?”
“But you didn’t say that when you first saw me. “I know that you looked at me with a calmer expression than my beauty.”
“that… … .”
“i know. “Is that because you are looking at me properly from now on?”
When she said what I wanted to say first, I burst out laughing.
“… … yes. you’re right.”
Even though I answered blankly, I felt at ease.
Now that we have decided to get to know each other on a good basis after expressing our true feelings to each other. She felt like the wall between her and me had disappeared.
Because I can now continue conversations naturally.
As she looked at me intently, I made eye contact with her and walked slowly.
Even though I was walking, there was no specific destination.
Just the two of us calmly strolling through a city crowded with people.
“And I’m only saying this now, but everything you said at the cafe felt good to me. “You could have said that you would look at me properly from now on, and even if it was just a lie, you could have whispered your love to me, but you didn’t do that.”
I carefully shook my head as the voice flowed.
“Young lady, I definitely… … “I also said I would like it.”
“That’s a nice thing to say, but it’s not as deep as my love for you, is it?”
I nodded awkwardly at her words with a soft smile.
Compared to her who speaks the word love without hesitation like now, my feelings for her were just beginning.
The stage where you feel a great crush and slowly turn that crush into a deep feeling.
“I think the reason I like you is because of the way you are now. “I know that when you met me today, you weren’t just looking at me, you were looking at my family.”
“… … “You knew everything.”
“I don’t know how. “The number of people who have approached me from the past has been endless.”
When I saw her covering her mouth and smiling as if it was a little funny, I felt like my whole body was naked for a moment.
‘but… … .’
How many people has she seen as she lived as the daughter of a duke?
And among them, like me. No, there were probably some people who approached it with a much different mindset than me.
In that case, it was clear that her eye for seeing people was much higher than mine. She must have known at first glance what purpose I was meeting with her today.
When I thought about it, I was surprised without realizing it.
“And yet you said that to me.”
Even after knowing my purpose, she confessed to me sincerely.
Even after knowing that I had tried to take advantage of her family name… … .
“that’s right. “I thought it wouldn’t matter if you had those feelings.”
When I saw her answering with a transparent voice, I let out a small laugh.
I felt like she was very embarrassed when she looked at me. She also thought that she was the type of person who was not good at hiding her feelings. But in reality, she was even thinking these deep thoughts.
‘Rather, I… … .’
Maybe I was looking at her too easily.
Nobles in this world were not people who lived as easy a life as they often appeared in novels.
Everyone, no matter how hard they work and no matter how high their position, has qualifications to match. Even if there are exceptions, most nobles have outstanding abilities befitting their title.
And the life of the duke’s daughter cannot be described in more words than that.
Sreuk.
I paused at the softness that gently touched my hand.
“I like you a lot.”
When she showed her emotions again without hesitation, my heart was shaken again.
It was direct, but it didn’t stop.
From the moment she saw positive emotions in me, Celestia tried to come closer to me.
“… … Are you really okay though?”
Nevertheless, I was still cautious on the other hand.
I was thrilled that she expressed her feelings with such pure affection, but the objective gap in status did not disappear.
Additionally, the relationships I have with various women… … .
Tuk.
When she stopped walking, I naturally also stopped. And then she turned and faced me in the center of the street.
Her platinum-blonde hair fell apart, and her straight eyes looked straight at me.
“I know what you’re thinking right now. In addition to the gap in social status and relationships with other women, it’s all about being aware of the outside world’s gaze and thinking more clearly about my current position.”
As I pointed them out one by one, as if they were penetrating my heart, I could only stare blankly.
“I can take it all.”
“… … “Why can you love me so much?”
“Didn’t I tell you earlier that there was no special reason?”
Even though she burst out laughing and spoke in a clear manner, I still couldn’t understand it.
Because she, who lacks nothing in this world, is trying to approach me by putting everything down for me.
Again.
And as she slowly approached me, I just stared.
Even as she gently lifted her toes and tilted her head towards me, I just stared blankly into her eyes.
“… … .”
Her boldness to stare at me intently and show off her affection.
Literally… … To her who wants to have her day without any trace of her,
side.
I had no choice but to give my lips away.
Slurp.
At the same time, I could see her gently wrapping her arms around my neck and leaning in, but I could clearly see her in my eyes.
Many people walking around stopped and looked at us with eyes close to shock.
ㅡ!
More precisely, he was looking at her expressing affection in front of so many people.
After a short kiss, she gently lifted her head and faced me.
“… … Don’t you understand why I act like this? “With what heart am I approaching you now?”
The moment her affectionate voice reached my ears, I was already unconsciously taking action.
side.
“Huh… … !”
For a moment, I looked at her shocked face and surrendered myself to the emotions I felt.
