episode_0012

The sound of shoe heels filling the hallway.

Reprun approached with a heavy presence and looked once at Kamiel and then at my daughter, Rheasian.

Lastly, I looked at Lumina, who was smiling mischievously.

“Is something going on?”

Rheasian’s eyes, who were also staring at her, became sharp at the sly question.

Lepuren remained silent for a while before opening his mouth.

“I thought you were gone. Why are you still here?”

“Ah, didn’t I tell you too? I’m still not satisfied with my nights these days. After thinking about it carefully, I realized it was because he was sick of it. Meanwhile, I happened to see this guy and wanted to take him with me.”

“… … .”

At her words, Lepuren’s gaze fell on Kamiel, who was nervous.

After remaining silent for a moment, he softly opened his mouth.

“… Please return for now.”

“First of all, what? then… ”

“I will send you a message later.”

“Hmm… … .”

Lumina glanced at Leasian with a strange expression.

Leasian looked very surprised, as if he had never known his father would come out like this.

I see even my hands shaking.

“In that case… I look forward to good news coming.”

“… … .”

Lepurn didn’t answer, but she already looked satisfied.

“Unfortunately… See you next time. I am a child of the Atran tribe.”

As soon as the strong hand left, Kamiel smoothed his numb arm.

No matter how hard you squeezed it, the handprint remained.

It was clear that if I left it like this, it would swell into bruises the next day.

Leaving behind Kamiel, who was gathering himself, and Leasian, who was glaring at him.

Lumina turned her back and headed to the window.

“I hope everyone is okay.”

After the usual formal greeting, she spread her wings and immediately threw herself out the window.

Black feathers flew like reverberations where she left.

After seeing that she had left, Lepurn also turned around to see if he had finished his business.

At that time, Leasian, who was trembling, suddenly spoke.

“Why?”

“… … .”

“Why are you trying to send Camiel?”

“Why did I bring that child? It was all to treat you. Leasian.”

“So! But why do you want to send it? The treatment isn’t over yet… ”

“That you left the room. With that alone, it can be said that the desired goal has been achieved.”

When he suddenly turned around and made eye contact, Leasian was startled.

But soon, he stared at his father with venomous eyes.

The look in his eyes was full of intent not to lose.

“Aspired purpose? If that’s the case, do I still need that guy? A proper meal doesn’t even go down your throat. You can only eat cookies or black tea made with small amounts of medicinal herbs.”

“That will be fixed soon.”

“… … .”

Kamiel, who had been watching their conversation with bated breath, looked at her with concern.

‘miss… .’

Although my safety was at stake, he was probably the most serious person.

Kamiel seemed to be more concerned about the current situation where Leasian was fighting with his father than that.

“… What the hell.”

These were the words she uttered after muttering for a long time.

The expression was the same, but the emotions coming out of the voice were different from before.

“What on earth has my father done for me so far?”

“… … .”

Lepuren did not open his mouth.

If I had to list what I did for you, there would be a lot.

When I think about the mistakes of the past, I can’t even begin to bleed new feet. It was just very minor things.

Leasian, who knew this well and felt it himself, spoke with resentment.

“Before, he didn’t even care about me. Did you know that if you do something now, things will change?”

“What was the reason why I became like this!”

“I never felt comfortable in that room even for a single day. The past days of living with auditory hallucinations and hallucinations every day, blaming myself, and gnawing at myself… . Can you imagine?”

Before I knew it, my sharp eyes turned red.

My eyes turn red.

There was moisture in my voice.

“Why… There was no interest or anything until now!”

I could even sense a sense of desperation from the tone of voice he spoke as if it were absurd.

“Now you’re trying to take the one thing left from me… … .”

Rheasian has never had anything that he thought was his own.

There was no object so desperate that it aroused the desire to possess it.

There was no object that made me want to lean on it.

Of course, you shouldn’t compare living things to objects.

Kamiel was a unique being to her.

‘It was my first time. ‘I never thought about having it.’

Leashian’s heart throbbed at the thought of him leaving her side.

Something unknown continues to stimulate my heart.

Eventually, tears fell.

Tap, tap, tap… … .

“… … .”

“… … .”

Leasian’s eyes widened, perhaps because he was surprised by the tears that fell without his knowledge.

After all, we were in the middle of a fight, venting our anger for a long time.

She didn’t want to show her father this weak side, so she quickly turned her head and hid her tears.

Of course, those tears were not hidden.

Once the tears begin to fall, they pour out everything in a short period of time, like a shower.

It soaked the floor endlessly.

“… Uh, me anyway. I have no intention of giving that guy away. If I give that guy up, I’ll go back to being like before, no! Because I’m going to live a worse life than before!”

I raised my voice intentionally.

Trying hard to avoid showing your weakness.

With those words, Leasian turned around.

She confidently turned the corner and disappeared without even looking back.

Kamiel stared at the young lady’s appearance in confusion.

“… Huh?”

Kamiel, who thought the commotion was over, made a curious sound.

“Lady? Why did you come back… ”

“… … .”

My tear-soaked face turned red.

She strode forward, grabbed Kamiel’s wrist, and walked back in the direction she came from.

It seemed like he had forgotten something and came back.

After walking in silence for a while, Kamiel arrived at Leasian’s room.

“Lady?”

“… … .”

As soon as Rheasian arrived, he sat down.

Thanks to this, Kamiel could not help but be surprised.

“Lady?!”

“No, don’t touch it… … .”

Even though I was crying, I couldn’t help but touch her.

Kamiel knelt down next to her and patted her back.

Even Leasian, who had been cold recently, accepted his comfort obediently for now.

“Are you calming down now?”

“… … .”

When the crying stopped, Kamiel asked.

She responded by nodding.

“Lady. Now then, look down… ”

“… !”

When he stretched out his hand to check his face, Leasian slapped his hand away in a momentary reaction.

widely!

“… … .”

“… … .”

The already awkward atmosphere even became cold.

I wonder if Leasian, who didn’t want to show his face, would look at him and check his thoughts.

“Well, I’m sorry… even I did not know… .”

“… no. I was wrong.”

“No! It’s not like that, I’m so, so embarrassed… .”

No matter how many excuses he made, Kamiel’s face looked bitter.

‘You know it’s a joke.’

At first glance, he pretended to be disappointed, but deep down, he didn’t feel anything at all.

My hands felt a little numb, but there was no way I was going to get upset with something like this.

It was just more of a joke to lighten the current awkward atmosphere.

“Huh?”

However, there was something he hadn’t thought about.

“Lady? Why are you crying again?”

Kamiel looked at her in confusion.

I thought he had calmed down a bit, but he was shedding tears again.

I was very embarrassed.

The situation was not good.

They almost got him taken away, and to make matters worse, they got into a fight with their father.

In the meantime, thinking that Kamiel was disappointed because of his mistake, he couldn’t think of it as a joke at all.

“Sorry… Well, sorry… … .”

When I apologized as if I had committed some serious crime, Camiel quickly shook his head.

“Why are you sorry? You didn’t do anything wrong.”

“I… I’ve been being mean to you lately… … .”

I’ve already done a lot of things to feel sorry for Camiel these days.

Rheasian, who recognized this, was afraid that he would hate him.

Even if my original goal was to get away from him.

There was no need for it anymore.

“Well, I like you so much, so I did that… .”

“… … .”

Camiel paused.

“Lady, what is that… ”

“Black… Because I know you won’t accept my heart… . Ugh, so… .”

“… … .”

I felt like I knew what was going to happen without having to hear it in words.

Kamiel’s expression hardened.

In the end, his prediction was correct.

Thanks to that, I wasn’t overly surprised, but it was inevitable that conflict would arise.

“Ugh, black!”

“… … Miss.”

The worry lasted only for a moment.

As I was looking at her crying so sadly, I thought that it would be impossible to just sit by and watch.

“I like you too.”

“Ugh, huh… … .”

Leasian sobbed instead of answering.

I felt like I knew what he wanted to say.

“It’s not that I just like people as people.”

“… … ?”

The crying stopped.

I stared at him with moist eyes as if I was longing for an answer.

There was a hint of expectation in it.

“I also like you as the opposite sex.”

Kamiel smiles as always.

However, there was a bit of shyness in it.

Leasian was so surprised… .

Hiccup!

“… … .”

“… Phew.”

“Wow, I’m laughing… ”

Hiccup.

“Ma… … .”

Hiccup.

“… … .”

Kamiel looked at her like she was cute.

Leasian glared at him, resentful of the hiccups that kept happening without his knowledge.

Fortunately, the hiccups stopped after a while and she asked.

“That… It’s not a lie, right?”

“Why? Do you think it’s a lie?”

Leasian could neither nod nor shake his head.

I knew how she felt.

‘Is it because I suddenly changed my attitude?’

Could it be that he is lying to reassure himself? You may have questions like this:

But Kamiel was sincere.

“I thought you were a very beautiful woman from the moment I first met you?”

“What? Is that really true?”

She even stuttered and looked like it was hard to believe.

There was a blush on his face.

Kamiel nodded and answered.

“Yes.”

It wasn’t just an answer.

I felt her flinch as I stretched out my arms and wrapped them around her slender body.

Of course there was no resistance.

“You are also close to my ideal type. Sometimes you speak harshly. He’s also stubborn sometimes… .”

“… … .”

Rheasian also had nothing to say about this.

She patted Kamiel’s shoulder with her head as if complaining.

Kamiel even loved that look.

He continued talking while gently stroking his light brown hair.

“Still. I like a girl who is thoughtful, knows how to apologize, and thinks deeply about me.”

“… … .”

When Kamiel lowered his gaze a little, the young lady’s red ears caught his eye.

“Also, I like it because it makes me look innocent that my shyness is so clearly revealed.”

He spoke with a slight smile.

It was surprising to me that her ears could turn even redder than before.

Her current state was expected to be very excited.

But Kamiel couldn’t leave her with only words full of hope right away.

“Lady. But I can’t treat her as my lover right now.”

“… What?”

The answer that came after a long time was filled with despair.

It was all good, but maybe it was because they said it this way at the end?

Startled, she raised her head and made eye contact with him.

“Lady. But don’t cry. What I mean is… .”

Kamiel said.

Let’s give it a little more grace.

Everything still seems premature.

“So… How about doing this? The young lady’s illness has completely improved and she can leave the room. Oh, is this already over? Anyway, when the lady is no longer struggling. They say you can eat regularly. Let’s wait a little while until that happens.”

“Why?”

“Because you lack a lot of experience. The only men I’ve ever met are people from this mansion and others.”

“… What does that have to do with anything?”

“After experiencing the outside world, maybe you will like someone other than me… Ugh.”

A moan escaped me when my flesh was suddenly pinched.

Leasian spoke in a cruel tone.

“Don’t even say those words out loud. Do you understand?”

“But this is correct… Ah, okay. In any case, if I can make her that healthy, it’s certain that she likes me. When that time comes, we… ”

“Why do you trail off? What are we?”

Before we knew it, Leasian had regained his usual mischievousness.

Perhaps thanks to having a clear goal, the anger seemed to have subsided.

Leasian persistently asked for an explanation.

Kamiel kept his mouth shut and held on, but then reluctantly opened his mouth.

“Ha… that. therefore… marriage. Shall we?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Both of them blushed.

Both the person who spoke and the person who heard it felt embarrassed.

“… I will do my best to help you get better. I hope you, too, will work hard to achieve that goal… ”

“Okay. I will definitely do that.”

Leasian answered with a bright look in his eyes.

There was also a voice that conveyed strong determination.

Camiel, who returned to the room, went straight to bed with his exhausted body.

He was thinking about lying down on the bed, but then he adjusted his posture and rolled up his sleeves.

“As expected… … .”

The black bruise felt quite painful when touched.

When I was grabbed so hard earlier and dragged into the room by the young lady.

I thought I was going to die from the pain of being held in the same area.

‘I didn’t show it, though.’

The atmosphere was so quiet that I couldn’t even make a sound of pain.

Of course, even if it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have made a sound of pain in front of the young lady. anyway.

“… by the way. I also made a big mistake.”

Kamiel was just distraught.

I’ve just done something that can’t be fixed.

‘The lady is definitely attractive… … .’

What if you could meet her rationally, that is, as a lover you would spend the rest of your life with?

Kamiel would be really happy.

but… … .

‘I said it back then too. ‘I don’t have enough time left.’

It is unclear whether the young lady’s treatment can be completed immediately.

So we had to somehow restore her condition within a short period of time.

‘If I leave before I can fully recover, his condition may become worse than before.’

It wasn’t just pride.

That was Rheasian’s attitude toward Kamiel.

If he were to leave right away, it would feel like the world had collapsed.

“You’re tired… … .”

Camiel lay flat on his back and closed his eyes.

He buried himself in excessive silence and muttered.

I don’t know if I gave you unnecessary hope.
