Chapter 125 – Hard Morning Alone
Beyond the visit, Chloe’s personal space.
The sound of familiar voices conversing, footsteps busy tidying up and preparing.
Even an academy cadet could tell that the servants were working at the mansion because they went to work, but the sensitive older sister would be shocked.
After putting on the brooch placed in front of the full-length mirror, he checked his appearance again and carefully opened the door.
Kiik-
As usual, she didn’t leave the door with her sleepy eyes and disheveled pajamas.
The servants who faced him after coming out of the room wearing the academy uniform somehow kept their expressions expressionless.
I couldn’t completely hide my surprised feelings and quietly put it in my voice and said hello.
“Miss Chloe. Good morning.”
By this time she wondered if she had let herself go that far, and with an awkward smile, Chloe inquired about the whereabouts of her most important sister.
“Ahaha… How about your sister?”
“You were already in the kitchen when we left for work.”
My sister was already preparing a simple breakfast to eat with herself as usual.
She was slightly sticking her head out, but when she realized she was there, her sister turned her head to look this way.
“It’s rare. Chloe wakes up so early and finishes preparing?”
Her sister’s warmth as she smiled at herself made her feel uncomfortable that her heart was stabbed.
“Ah! Yes… Yes…”
Even while answering, I felt… The discomfort in my heart, as if the fish had been caught on a thorn.
It must be the guilt of peeking at the tryst at night and satisfying curiosity, right? Somehow, unable to see her sister’s face, her head fell to the ground.
When she was told to wait for her meal to be ready soon, Chloe moved to the table and sat down. Unlike usual, Chloe put her hands under the table and touched her uniform bottoms, feeling uncomfortable that she was feeling alone.
“Whoa…”
A sigh that comes out of nowhere.
Even if it was simply bad timing or force majeure that her going to her study yesterday, it was undeniably her own fault that she didn’t go back even after feeling her brother’s unique mana manipulation and kept her eyes on her and watched the scene. .
The night that came back after witnessing the affair.
As he lay in bed, the heat and excitement of his body had completely evaporated, Chloe was bitterly regretting her actions.
…
I could feel her sister’s steps as she brought her breakfast were slightly excited.
The face of her sister, who came up to herself, put down a plate of food, and went back across from her. The staff members did not know the faint smile and happiness that was hidden there, but Chloe knew it.
“Okay, let’s eat well.”
“Today is Roman’s class day, isn’t it?”
At the same time as she brings out her brother’s story, her sister’s feelings deepen in a positive color.
“That’s right.”
Somehow answering her thoughtless questions, her sister clearly captured her smile on her wall as she thought of her brother.
It wasn’t intended, though.
At the same time, she thought of Chloe and realized a fact.
This was the first time she used the blue aura, and it was similar to the feeling that the various things she had learned were interlocking and turning in an instant.
‘Pretty···.’
The figure of Eclair that Chloe captured momentarily in her pupils was not dressed in fancy clothes or decorated with expensive jewels that were popular in aristocratic families.
I could feel the pure beauty like a watercolor painting that would catch the eyes of an outsider who does not know art at all.
Understand at the same time.
She doesn’t fall for Chloe’s favorite genre, romance novels, but comes across as a eater, but there were descriptions she couldn’t understand.
– A woman who is in love is more beautiful than anyone else.
Although it does not have a tangible form visible to the eye, it is a feeling called ‘love’ that is popular with a group of girls regardless of social status and era.
Since the romance novels she reads are also stories that focus on those two letters, she has thought that the change in her beauty when she is in love is a device that stimulates her imagination and maximizes delusion.
Maybe it’s an abstract expression of a charming or discreet behavior in front of someone you love.
But now Chloe understood perfectly what the sentence meant.
She is one of the most beautiful female knights of the empire, but she is especially beautiful today, attracting even the eyes of her siblings.
The vitality that shines brightly that is felt the day after my older brother goes out at night.
Her older sister, who shook off all the remnants of fatigue and stress that had been in her voice for a few days of busy work, was more radiant and beautiful than anyone else in the empire.
‘That’s what it means.’
The fact that a woman becomes beautiful by doing love – as described in romance novels.
Isn’t it a positive chain reaction that takes place inside and inside the emotions that can be felt even from the outside, rather than a dramatic change that takes place on the outside like dressing up or makeup?
“Chloe.”
“Yes?”
With her realization, the daze-locked spirit was barely awakened by her sister’s voice.
“Somewhere the complexion is not good.”
Chloe’s heart skipped a beat at the sight of her erasing her smile and looking at herself with concern.
She doesn’t want to show her off somehow, but Chloe’s own sexual enhancement was so difficult that it was close to impossible.
Her desire to hide behind her armor using the brooch gifted to her by her sister and brother was like a chimney.
“…”
“If you have any concerns or concerns, feel free to tell me anytime.”
Chloe said that she wanted to apologize to the two of her for her wrongdoing, but her feelings had subsided, and she had been thinking about it since dawn…
Couldn’t the starting point of her yearning for this atonement be just like a selfish villain trying to make her feel at ease?
She thought.
She knows very well that her older sister, who is her blood relative, has the same temperament as the celestial knight in her novels. That’s why she wouldn’t blame herself even if she confessed to stealing the tryst.
She blamed her own negligence instead, and while she knew her sister’s character to feel sorry for her, she wasn’t just confiding in her either.
‘There might be a problem with my older brother…’
Chloe, who came up with a breakthrough that was not a lie in this situation, mentioned a physiological phenomenon unique to women that was contributing to her poor physical condition and mental condition.
“Well, it was that day, so I wasn’t feeling well…”
The older sister understood her, but did not erase her concerns.
“If she’s in good shape, wouldn’t it be good for her to take a day off from the academy?”
Chloe’s heart was even heavier at the gentle voice of her concern, but she held on and shook her head.
Chloe fixed her gaze on the plate of breakfast and spat out her excuses.
“Stand up, hey, I’ve taken medicine, so nothing hurts. My body is a little heavy, but it’s hard when I miss classes… I miss her friends, so it’s okay…”
The older sister, who doesn’t leave her seat until she finishes eating, gets up from her chair with her words to wait a moment and heads for her upstairs.
“In case you don’t know, I’ll take extra medicine and a potion–“
…
…
“I’ll be back…”
Leaving her mansion, her Chloe bowed her head and moved her feet at her sister, who folded her arms and waved her hand lightly.
She turned around the corner of the building out of her sister’s line of sight and let out a deep sigh inside her.
“Hee-woo-“
It’s been a long time since I had such a hard morning with my sister.
Today’s meal was so exhausting that it reminded us of the awkward times without knowing each other’s inner circumstances.
‘What to do in the future, really…’
Again – Again –
However, after breathing in the clear air and waking up my heavy spirit, I thought that it was the right decision not to say it right away even after thinking about it again.
“Ah.”
As the academy comes into view, not far from the mansion on foot, he now thinks of the second hardship.
The class with my older brother once a week is, of course, today!
I am already at a loss as to what kind of face I should face with my brother in a practical class with a lot of personal guidance.
Even the moment she arrived at her academy and reached the knights department lecture room, her dull mind couldn’t think of a sharp number.
The faces of Rike and Seria, whose field of vision and head rotation were different from her own, came to mind.
Rike, who seems to give realistic and practical advice, and Seria, who seems to offer a unique way to get beyond expectations.
It is a time when collective intelligence is desperately needed.
Although she cannot yet directly mention the relationship between her sister and brother to her friends…
If you take a similar case as an example, wouldn’t it give you an answer you didn’t even think of without digging deep?
That, too, was an expedient assumption for Chloe herself, but now, like a forest in darkness, there was no breakthrough in sight.
I also desperately wanted to consult with friends I could trust.
‘Because I have about an hour to spare before the actual class…’
Originally, I spent the hour warming up and chatting, but today I plan to ask my friends for their understanding.
From now on, while taking classes, it is my job to simply create a script of what examples I will use.
You have to be careful not to accidentally expose the relationship you are dating.
