Chapter 84 – One Week Due (Illustrated)

“The words I was just about to say… Put them aside for a moment. Listen to my story.”

Because I couldn’t be proud of the results that occurred in just a week.

Every time Riquet approached, he was tempted to step back, but Éclair somehow held his ground.

“Uh-?”

She came over and took her own hand and headed towards the large flower bed inside her.

We sat across from each other on a flower bed made of red bricks, following her hand her pressing her shoulder her as if telling us to sit here.

“Knight. I don’t know if I’ll continue to call you knight… Or sister. But if I give up after being scared like that, you’ll regret it.”

“…Regrets?”

“There are parts where I’m a little good at reading other people’s minds. Did you know that your facial expression changes in an easy-to-understand way when you’re involved with your older brother? When I just said that, the expression of melancholy was as if I was about to die.”

It is embarrassing. My mouth was closed at the words that I couldn’t deny.

“But I know the situation calmly…”

“The situation of the knight? What kind of situation?”

Her face I really don’t know. I opened my mouth with a feeling of self-injury, driving a knife into my body her with my hand to make her opponent understand.

“My heart that I’m facing now is one-sided… That it can’t come true.”

After vomiting out of my mouth, I wanted to die in a really cruel reality.

“Yes?”

The expression on the expression of the young lady still questioned. In the desperation that burns as if it will become ashes, I unknowingly seek another way.

“If the young lady I’m dating allows me… Just… Can’t I just be close friends with Roman? I think the current relationship is enough…”

Eclair came out so low-key that he didn’t know what it meant even though he was spitting it out.

“Did I tell you? You’ll regret that decision.”

“Whether I’ll regret it… I guess I’ll have to wait and see…?”

Evasive remarks with obvious consequences. After spitting out words of timid defiance, Eclair closed his eyes tightly.

Emotions I’ve never experienced before. A confusing situation that cannot be understood with one’s values.

That she had a crush on a man with a lover. Eclair’s hands his trembled like a child who was found guilty.

“Knight. Close your eyes and think about it.”

Rike’s hand grabbed Eclair’s hand, which was shaking.

“…”

“The life with my brother is completely different from the men in the Empire that I often see and hear about. When I’m preparing meals, I wander around to help with something… On days off, I prepare a lunch box and go to the forest or mountain to play. .When fishing without catching a single fish, sitting in my brother’s arms and talking, I am immersed in his unique rich speech his and enjoy it, but I do not feel regret for not catching a single fish.”

It is drawn because I close my eyes. Thinking that those actions were Roman’s movements, it was absolutely natural and vivid.

“Even if I complain in my sleep, hug me kindly… Tell me every day that I love you enough to melt my ears. Even at the moment of making love in the bedroom, they don’t forcefully quench their lust and end , they hug me until I fall asleep and plan and talk about a happy future.”

“… Oops!”

Eclair’s cheeks turned red as he listened to the introverted story. Her inexperienced virgin her, as she puts it to herself, makes the situation dreamy and enchanting.

“Won’t you really regret it? If you meet every once in a while and talk about the request, and if you’re satisfied with having a meal or a drink once in a while, I won’t talk anymore. …I don’t know either.”

How can you not regret hearing such a story? The words of refusal that I was trying to get out at first slipped in.

Instead, the inner thoughts that were tightly hidden were pushed out and leaked out.

As the tremors in Eclair’s hands grew stronger, Rique pressed them down to calm them down.

“I-I’m honestly afraid. Roman would think of me as a close friend … But to change his mind and express his feelings his in just a week … Is n’t it impossible to even be friends if he gets rejected…”

What if Roman rejects himself? Every time he had to face it because of a request, he thought that he would do his best to show his attitude so that he would not feel uncomfortable.

It made me feel more nostalgic and sad, so tears welled up in my eyes.

“Just because time is short doesn’t mean the emotions I hold are light… This is what he said to me when I ran to my brother’s house. I fell in love with him in just a few days and felt like I would die without him. I went home crying uncontrollably.”

“In a few days…?”

“Time doesn’t determine the depth and purity of emotions, right? That day, he didn’t hold me, who came only for pleasure. Oppa would definitely face me seriously.”

I thought that even such words were the only answer. I was so envious that I could hear it in person and reminisce about the past.

“I’m not thinking about forcing you to confess your feelings to the driver. Excluding me right now…

In her words of her, I felt a certainty as if she had confirmed by opening her heart of her. She feels it’s like a savior that has suddenly appeared, causing her negative emotions to recede at once.

The glare of a lamp in a dark cave. Even though Hog-ha himself is dumbfounded, he expects it because he is a human being.

“I-I’ll try to think about it…”

At my words, she smiled and spread a finger.

“Please judge within a week.”

At that stern word, I jumped up from the flower bed.

“…You, aren’t you too harsh?! This is about getting to know each other a little more… That I’ve now become aware of my heart—-!”

Her expressionless expression her like a frostbite that has never been seen before. Éclair, who continued to make excuses, shut her mouth.

“I’m sorry, driver, but I don’t have time to give in to such a lukewarm attitude any longer.

“·····.”

“Let’s get to know each other over time. I want you to know that there’s no meaning to that kind of thing. It’s an act that will only make your heart grow bigger than you can handle.”

Éclair, who nodded in silence, began to wonder about Rike.

“Can I ask you something?”

“Sure.”

“Does the Young lady want to monopolize Roman…Doesn’t she have feelings like that?”

Her tongue her twitched as she seemed to let out her own insidious desires her.

“It’s a question that doesn’t show the knight’s intelligence at all. Of course it is.”

“But why do you come to me and give me advice like this?”

She didn’t even have to think long. He said it as if it were common sense that he always had in his head her.

“Because my brother wants polygamy. I hate that he’s putting up with what he wants for me.”

“…Heavy.”

“Then, if the knight was your brother’s first lover? Would you oppose your brother’s polygamy?”

“No…If you want to. I’ll do it.”

It was also common in aristocratic societies.

If ‘Platinum’ wants something that happens even in a minor baronet family but she can’t do it, the woman is on the verge of being pointed at and killed.

The young lady, who was fiddling with her black hair, slightly raised the corners of her mouth as if satisfied with the answer.

“And… Even if you don’t want to admit this, it’s a fact that you have to admit. Even if something happens to your brother, it’ll be more helpful if you have a knight rather than me, right? Not yet.”

The word ‘not yet’ that came into Eclair’s ears was exciting.

Confidence in the talent she possesses. In a few years, I have high expectations of what kind of person she will become as a soldier.

“When you’ve made up your mind, invite me to the mansion. Meet Chloe once… I’ll tell you a few things my brother likes.”

“I get it…”

As if all she had to say was finished, she got up and walked away step by step, then turned around behind her and gave her advice with a smile.

“Ah! And before being a woman, you are a sword for the Knights’ Empire. Before you make such a statement… I hope you see your own face her when you think of her brother her.”

I got up from the flower bed to see her daughter her completely gone.

It’s the first time that I’m in love with someone. To decide what to do within a week. Those were really harsh things.

“Ha-“

I kept the lamentation and lamentation, and now I was really going to move for the work report.

Just as I was about to come out of her alley and blend in with the people passing by, I remembered what she had said at the end.

‘My face thinking of Roman…?’

Seureung

I don’t even have a portable mirror. One thing comes to mind.

He pulled out the longsword hanging from the waist of his uniform. She sees her own face reflected on a well-maintained black surface.

Her usual tightly-bitten lips have somehow disappeared and hit her waves.

Anyone can see the hot cheeks and red eyes of her, as if drunk.

“Aww…!!”

With a face like this, she told her young lady that she would only be her friend her, and she wanted to die because she was ashamed of talking nonsense.

One week.

What the hell should she do?
