Chapter 241 – Heroine Popularity Vote Winner Side Story: Linea (Final)
Linea liked Theorad’s arms. He was so cozy and happy that he couldn’t even think of anything else when he held him tight like this.
She also loved Theo Rad’s gentle caressing of his hair, and the understanding and comforting of her childish self.
To the point where I would like to stay like this all day if possible. But that wasn’t the case. Theorard was always busy with the mansion’s business.
‘Now…….’
Theorard had to be let go. Even if it was evening, I couldn’t hold on to Theorard in the morning, which was the busiest time.
Linea also has to prepare lunch from now on, so it would be better to keep the childishness to this point. Thinking so, Linea removed her hand her from Theo Rad’s waist her, but…….
“…… Theorard?”
This time, for some reason, Theorard didn’t let go. It wasn’t a common situation, so Linea raised her head in surprise.
Then she sees Theorard smiling kindly as always. As if Lynea wriggling in her arms her was cute, her affection was all over her face her.
“You can stay like this a little longer if you want.”
“Uh, huh?”
“I said you can do whatever you want.”
Linea’s mouth opened softly. It was because I didn’t expect Theorard to say such a thing on a weekday, not a weekend, especially in the morning hours.
It felt so good that her heart was beating. So I tried to smile involuntarily, but Linea held it in. Because she didn’t want to trouble Theo Rad.
“Stupid. She said she didn’t have nightmares. I’m fine, so let’s go to work.”
“It’s a job. You can rest for a day or so.”
“Ah. Then…”
Reflexively, she tried to tell her to stay with her a little longer, but Linea finally resisted her desire for her. She hadn’t forgotten that she leaned on Theo Rad’s kindness and swore that she would never be selfish.
“…… You said it was okay.”
“Is it. Then it would be better to wake up soon. If you make me wait too long, I might be cursed at.”
Are you waiting? When Linea blinked her eyes with her face in disbelief, Theorard pulled her to her feet her. Linea also follows Theo Rad to raise her upper body her. Her tousled silver hair her rustled lightly with the movement of her body her.
“First, wash up and come back. I will wait here.”
“Yes? Ha, to……?”
Theorard gave her a low laugh as Linea asked, shrugging her shoulders. It’s because she was stupid.
“What are you talking about from that wind? …. It’s not like that, so hurry up and wash up. She’s going out, so dress her properly.”
What are you hiding? I don’t know why, but there was nothing I couldn’t hear. Nodding her head, Linea went into her bathroom and washed her body her, as Theo Rad had wished.
Then she went into her dressing room her, covered with a towel, and Linea picked out her clothes her for a while. Perhaps she had a lot of trouble, and after about twenty minutes had passed, she walked out after Linea opened her door.
“Theorard…….”
At her cautious voice her, Theo Rad closed the volume of poetry he was reading and looked away. And I couldn’t help but smile.
When she came out of the dressing room, Linea was wearing a shift dress that didn’t have a wide skirt, and the white ribbon decorated around her neck she gave her a cute yet neat look. In addition, the color of her dress is close to pink, so she gives off a bright impression.
As Theo Rad watched her gaily, Linea, dressed in her new dress, opened her mouth with a hesitation.
“I bought it recently, is it okay? If it doesn’t suit you, what you used to wear…….”
“No, it is much prettier now.”
“That, is it? If so, I’m glad…….”
Linea, who averted her gaze, sighed as if it was nothing. She wanted to be told that she fit in, but she felt ashamed to actually hear it, so she couldn’t look straight at Theorard.
Still, she is glad that Theo Rad likes her. She stopped by the Golden Chicken clothing store not too long ago and was very happy to buy her clothes for her, which was an excellent choice.
She was more than ready to go out, so she just had to go out. But now it’s time for her to go to work, so where is she going?
Linea, with her doubts, glances at Theorard. Theorard, who was still smiling, tapped his knee as if telling him to come here.
“What is that…”
Despite showing her dislike her, Linea went over to Theorard and sat down on her lap her. In fact, Linea did not dislike this attitude. Because she liked the feeling of leaning her back on Theo Rad’s chest.
She wondered if she was spending time like this again, but it wasn’t. It wasn’t long before Theo Lard, who was arranging Linea’s hair her, pulled out an eyepatch from her bosom her.
“Linea. Could you please put on her eyepatch on her?”
“Yes? Why don’t you suddenly…….”
“I don’t like it, but it’s because of Bainen’s opinion of her. They said it would be better this way.”
What the hell are you talking about from now on? Linea, who seemed like Theorard was playing another trick, replied curtly.
“Theorard. Are you trying to do something strange to me?”
“Not. I can swear it’s not that kind of thing.”
“Hmm…….”
A sigh comes out of nowhere, but what can I do? Theorard wants to do it. There was nothing strange about it that I couldn’t fit in with.
“Okay. You can do it.”
Only then does Theorad nod her head and put her eyepatch on Linea. The movements of her hands were strangely thoughtful, making it even more difficult for Linea to know what Theorard was up to.
*
Theorard took Linea’s hand and walked away. Linea, who could n’t see her front her, had no choice but to move as Theo Rad guided her, but she was n’t too scared. Hearing her gentle slope her and the sound of the grass swaying at her feet her, she seemed to know where this place was.
‘Movables…….’
This is probably the garden behind the mansion. The place where he made a foolish promise after being badly misunderstood by Theorard, and eventually asked for forgiveness from Theorard and told his name his, dotted with regret and rebuke.
What on earth did you bring me here to do? Linea felt a strange fear and grabbed Theorad’s hand tightly.
“Linea.”
Theorard said.
“I’m not joking when I say I’m off work today. It’s because my work has decreased a lot from this year, so I don’t have to be frantic about my work anymore. So I wanted to rest, and if I was going to rest, I thought that I should spend time in a meaningful way.”
“Meaningfully…… ?”
“Okay. The hill behind the mansion is one of my favorite spaces. But when I think of old memories, I always see you crying. It was complicated and bitter at heart, so I decided to give you precious memories as a gift.”
This time, Theorard’s hand His gripped Linea’s hand tightly.
“No, from now on, it will be ‘us’ memories.”
There was sincerity in his voice, which was somehow unknowingly serious. Thanks to this, Linea trusted Theo Rad and was able to move her steps her.
Slowly, the spring breeze that blows every step forward conveys the delicate scent of flowers. In the distance, the chirping of birds could be heard.
When I was caught up in guilt and anger, the precious things I didn’t know were waking up one by one. As I move forward feeling peace of mind, I begin to hear familiar voices vaguely.
At the same time, Theorard stopped walking.
“You can take off the blindfold now.”
After a moment of hesitation, Linea nods her head and removes her eyepatch from her. She took a deep breath, and when she slowly opened her eyes, she was started by the scenery unfolding in front of her.
“Ah…”
A garden full of daisies. I saw precious people gathered under a beautiful tree.
Esily and Benellia were sitting and chatting on a mat spread out in the shade of a tree.
Beside him, Farras was lying on Rastein’s lap her, sleeping with her mouth wide open, and Vaynon was munching with Dremeth and eating her sandwich her.
Harvey and Leoberg were playing house games with Rayleen and Roselia, and Roylen was having a heated discussion with Marhan.
Finally, Fred, who was sitting at the base of the tree and playing the grass flute, found Theorard and Linea and waved.
Thanks to Fred, everyone in the garden looked away and each smiled. It was to the extent that he could be seen intermittently asking why he was so late and beckoning him to come.
“Theorard…… ?”
Linea gulps her saliva and looks up at Theorard. She looked like she was asking what happened, so Theorard responded kindly.
“Didn’t you all say that it would be nice to get together and go on an outing? So Esily and I did some preparations in secret. Do you like it?”
Theorard remembered the muttering that Linea had muttered to herself last year.
As the empire’s regime changed, she was busy for a while, so she spent many days alone with her relatively unemployed Linea.
That doesn’t mean my current life is bad, but…… Feelings of gratitude rushed in to Theo Rad for remembering the sound she mumbled like a complaint.
In addition, she felt apologetic yet grateful to everyone gathered in the garden. It’s because everyone took their own time for themselves.
“I, I…….”
Linea’s eyes became wet. It was because she could n’t hide her overflowing feelings of her. Theorard, who had been predicting in her own way, took a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped her eyes around Linea.
“Linea. Today is a happy day, why are you crying? I and others will want to see your smiling face, not your tears.”
Linea gave her a small nod and tried to hold back her cry. Only then did Theorard take her handkerchief her and stretched out her hand towards Linea.
“Then let’s go now. Because the main character of the party shouldn’t be late.”
“Yes…”
Linea took a deep breath and grabbed Theo Rad’s hand hers. The two of them nodded at each other and steadily moved towards where they were all.
As the distance gets closer, the voices of precious people gradually become clearer. It was sweeter than any other music in the world.
So, on a sunny spring day.
A smile bloomed on Linea’s face as she approached her happiness. With tears in her eyes her, a beautiful smile that makes her present happiness special because she knows her pain her.
