CH 31

Since that day, something has changed about Leon’s attitude.

What the hell?

Every time he looked at me, he smiled faintly. I heard you can’t even use your power yet.

Why are you swording like crazy? What’s with all that power?

“Diria, I didn’t see it wrong, did I?”

It was clear even when I rubbed my eyes and looked at it again. Did Leon awaken his power?

I didn’t even notice it…….

I felt a presence behind me, staring blankly at Leon’s training.

“That’s why I said don’t assume that you know everything.”

Why did a man who rarely comes outside, come out here?

I glanced up at Edgar.

“I think you’ll stick together this time.”

Why can’t someone kick him out?

When I heard Edgar’s words, I closed my mouth in silence.

“You don’t seem to like it, do you? You thought I couldn’t help it if you avoided me.”

Edgar continued to babble.

What do you want to hear from me?

He looked down at me crouching.

Oh, my! What if he looked down like that.

There’s nothing to be scared of now.

What’s my weakness when Leon leaves home, too.

“It’s no use looking at me like that.”

I snorted and spoke in a stern tone.

“You really act like he means something special to you.”

Yes. You never know when you’re gonna die and live.

How much I cared for Leon and gave him my heart in order for us both to live!

“He’s special. Leon has to live so that I can live. If Leon dies, so do I.”

Does Edgar know my life depends on him?

Edgar’s eyes soon turned to Leon.

“Your life and death depends on his life and death. That’s funny.”

He laughed briefly.

You won’t understand even if you die and live again.

Who would believe me if I told you everything I knew?

“You must be happy. You drove a poor child who was not yet of age to death.”

I clenched my chin and stared intently at Leon.

Why is he so desperate?

I sighed as I saw Leon wielding a sword.

Is that why you’re working so hard just because I will grant your wish?

If not…….

I shuddered, and my head turned to Edgar.

Edgar’s brows wriggled with his fierce raised eyes.

“You didn’t threaten him like a bully, did you?”

“Bu…lly?”

“Yes, bully! What did you tell him?”

I jumped out of my seat and put my hand on my waist.

“You’re still cheeky”

I didn’t care about Edgar’s low voice.

What does this guy do in the back of his house?

“This is why I kicked him out.”

“Is it because of me?”

“In the end, yes.”

It was because of Leon that my gaze, which had been glaring at Edgar, was turned away.

“Elle, you should have told me if you came to see me”

My body trembled with fear as he gently embraced me from behind.

What do you mean a back hug!

My eyes opened wide as I faced Edgar.

At the same time, Edgar’s eyes became fiercer.

“Leon…?”

I blinked my eyes.

Leon hugged me more and buried his face in the back of my neck.

What, this obsessed voice and behavior.

“Elle, you should wait a little longer. The training will be over soon.”

“Uh, uh, yeah.”

I acted like a broken doll.

Edgar stared at me and immediately grabbed my hand and pulled it toward him.

“I have a lot of eyes, but I’m not careful. I don’t like this about you.”

“Didn’t you not like my existence from the beginning?”

Leon stared at me.

Without giving Edgar a single look.

I was the only one trying to get between the two.

‘What’s wrong with going crazy now?’

That attitude of Leon.

Isn’t that definitely a behavior that only the female protagonist would see.

There are two years left before the pattern appears.

I was in a cold sweat and couldn’t do anything.

“The exam is just around the corner, right? I can’t see your face anymore. Do not disturb the order of this house anymore.”

Edgar held my hand tightly and wouldn’t let go.

I tried to shake off his hand as hard as I could, but it was not enough.

“I didn’t like your eyes like that.”

I gulped down at Edgar’s words.

He sent me back and approached Leon.

He caught his chin and whispered in his ear.

‘What is he saying?’

Edgar’s words were not heard by me. I chewed my lips with anxiety.

Leon’s expression remained unchanged, and in the end I did not find out what the story was about.

* * *

“Leon?”

I peeped open the door and called Leon.

Leon lay in bed, motionless.

Did he fall asleep with the back of his hand covering his eyes?

It’s still early.

I wonder if he was really offended by what happened earlier.

Leon’s eyes were on me for no reason.

Leon’s mouth was pounding as I was unable to enter the room with hesitation.

“Elle, what are you doing there? Come on in.”

His sweet voice made me feel at ease.

Slowly approaching him, I sat on the bed and stared at his face.

Maybe because he was covering half of his face with his hands, his lips caught my eyes.

Red, moist looking plumpy lips.

‘Oh, he’s pretty.’

I stared still at Leon.

Just looking at him makes me happy. He seems to have a lot of talent.

Leon gently lowered his hand as if he had felt my gaze.

When the closed eyes opened, the long eyelashes were shaded.

How can he be so pretty?

“So pretty.”

“You’re the one who’s pretty.”

What? Did I just say it out loud?

I covered my mouth with astonishment.

Leon’s hand grabbed my wrist and made me fall into his arms.

“Lion, what’s wrong with you? The reason why you overdo your training earlier…….”

“No, no. Just holding you makes me feel at ease.”

I think your heart is pounding too hard to say that.

I quietly listened to Leon’s heartbeat.

Thump thump. Thump thump.

It really makes me feel at ease.

“Leon, are you sleeping?”

I said quietly to Leon.

I didn’t come here to do this.

Leon gently embraced me and wouldn’t let me go.

His pleasant body scent brought me to sleep.

It’s not good if you caress me like this…

“No, I’m not sleeping.”

Leon’s eyes met with mine.

Since when have you been staring at me?

Red eyes were shining.

a strange feeling.

I gulped down a saliva.

Leon rolled up the corners of his mouth and smiled beautifully.

“There’s no way I’ll fall asleep when I’m holding you.”

“uh…?”

Leon hugged me harder and narrowed the gap.

The heat rose sharply on the two closely attached bodies.

“How could I fall asleep?”

His hand quickly ran through my hair.

I can’t believe i’m so nervous with this space

Is this why Edgar said not to be alone?

After all, Leon was also a male, wasn’t he?!

I blinked my eyes, which were bigger than before, and opened my mouth.

“Well, let’s go somewhere with me!”

At Leon’s serious gaze, he hurriedly turned to the topic.

“Where…?” 

“I have things to buy before the test, and I’ve never been downtown with Leon. I want to make memories.”

Leon grinned at my hesitating tone.

Only then did Leon’s hand fall from me.

Whoo! Whoo! 

My heart almost dropped.

I sat on the bed, taking off my body from Leon’s arms.

My heart still thumped.

Please, don’t jump on me.

Even when I closed my eyes tightly, the beat showed no signs of stopping.

“Memories, memories…….”

Bitterness shone around Leon’s eyes as he rose from his seat.

“Let’s go. If it’s what Elle wants, I’m happy, too.”

Leon reached out to me, buttoning up his shirt.

No, you don’t have to button it up.

I smacked my lips with regret.

Leon is really sexy when he unlocks a button or two…….

“Ah, so Elle loved this.”

He, who had locked all the buttons all the way to the end, soon released them one by one.

Tuk.

A twitching game.

Tuk.

Leon’s hands, which were unbuttoning one by one, stopped immediately after all the buttons on his shirt were unbuttoned.

“Oh, all the buttons have been released.”

God, what the hell are you doing to me?

I couldn’t take my eyes off Leon’s body.

“That, that! I think it’s too dangerous here!”

“Dangerous?”

Leon’s head tilted to the side.

I mean, don’t even look cute in that outfit.

I hurriedly averted my gaze and gesture.

“Well, yes! Get dressed! Dress neatly and come out!”

At the end of that remark, I quickly left Leon’s room.

Didn’t I almost become a danger to Leon.

I picked my breath quickly, recalling the dizzying situation again.

I think it’s better for Leon to run away from me as soon as possible.
