Chapter 215 – 215. Relations of Elves (4)
==================
You can touch my chest
Yushin’s legs came to a halt at Leticia’s sudden remark.
Maybe I heard it wrong
Seeing Leticia’s serious expression as if she had made up her mind, Yushin realized that she wasn’t joking about what she was saying.
“Are you drunk?”
“No.”
Yushin thought it might be because she drank the champagne served at the dinner, but Leticia was infinitely serious.
It’s never a word that came out by mistake.
It is a confession made with sincerity and sincerity.
To treat the confession as a joke would be the greatest disrespect committed to a determined person. Recalling that, Yushin decided to look at Leticia as a woman rather than her fledgling apprentice.
“I am sincere.”
“… Do you know what made her decide that?”
A ballroom with soft music playing.
The two men and women standing in the center of the large ballroom continued their conversation while staring at each other.
“I don’t want to lose to Alone. I don’t want to lose her teacher.”
Leticia spoke in a firm voice.
I can’t just look at you stupid like this.
To my teachers, I only see myself as a good model student and a well-mannered honor student.
What I want is for my respected teacher to see me as a member of the opposite sex, not as her disciple. And she wins the heart of her teacher over Alone, whom she considers her rival.
──I like the teacher,
Leticia decided to be more honest with her own heart.
“When the teacher puts me aside and chats with Alone, and laughs… Every time it hurts like my heart was torn. She even feels a nightmarish fear that Alone is gradually depriving her teacher.”
Scary.
And I was afraid.
Afraid of being taken away by Alone,
She fears that she will be separated forever after graduating from the academy without being able to express her feelings to her teacher.
Graduating from the academy will not result in a complete separation. However, it is an undeniable fact that the most important axis in charge of the relationship with the teacher is disappearing.
“What will my relationship with the teacher be like after I graduate from the academy?”
Can we keep a relationship like this?
No,
It doesn’t want
I want to become a more intimate relationship than now. Indulging in affection and whispering love…. I wanted to have a relationship like that of a lover with a respected teacher.
Leticia knew that Yushin was Ardena’s lover, but she couldn’t give up her heart.
And she didn’t want to lose to Alone either.
Because I really liked this person, the Yushin Gilead.
“Leticia.”
Yushin spoke the name of her disciple.
And she looked straight into her eyes.
Tears were already welling up in the eyes of the high elf lady. It was shaking dangerously at the corner of my eyes, as if it would fall down my cheek at any moment.
The music stopped.
The moment the music that was filling the atmosphere for the two men and women to dance in the ballroom stopped, there was a dreary silence like an amusement park after closing time.
“Thank you for liking me.”
“I’m sorry…. Wasn’t it very ugly? It wasn’t enough that I made the teacher difficult with words outside of common sense, and I even complained to the teacher about a topic I liked by myself….”
Leticia said with her head bowed.
She was talking about a subject she had just confessed to liking while looking into her eyes.
I want to run away right now.
However, since both legs were weak, even escaping was impossible.
She just hung her head down,
She leaned against the chest of the man she loved.
“Do not be sorry. The feeling of liking someone is never a sin. And the fact that the daughter of the Santander family likes me is enough to make me happy.”
At the words of her restoration, Leticia had her face reddened as if she were going to explode at any moment.
It needs water.
It is also ice water floating on ice.
After filling the bathtub with ice water with floating ice, I wanted to jump into the bathtub.
“I am the second… No, even the third is fine! So… , So… ! Please let me stay by your side.”
Leticia squeezed out her last handful of courage and conveyed her true feelings.
* * *
The ball with Leticia ended in a short moment, like a cantata characterized by a short overall performance time.
With all of her true feelings conveyed,
Leticia, who ran out of her ballroom as she fled.
Even after Yushin returned to Valencia Castle, recalling her appearance, she couldn’t erase her bewildered feeling. It was because she never expected Leticia to confess her feelings at the ballroom.
‘Does my body exude pheromones that attract elven women?’
Sniff sniff.
Yushin sniffed at her as he raised her arm.
I thought that following Alone, even Leticia would confess her feelings. Yoo-shin, who was confessed to by several women, could not hide her embarrassment.
But she soon came to her senses.
Because I can’t just see her goofy side without getting her way. Even if she ends up heading for catastrophe, she doesn’t want to appear irresponsible.
“Yushin, you’re back in time.”
Ardena, who was welcoming her guests in her drawing room, opened her mouth as she looked at her restoration.
And the woman who sat across from Ardena,
The oath of the elves, who grew her pale purple hair, met her gaze with Yushin.
“Welcome, Mr. Gilead. How about a cup of tea if you don’t mind?”
“Yes, I will be grateful if you give me a drink.”
When L suggested tea, Yushin accepted it without hesitation.
Marigold flower tea with yellow petals.
A fragrant smell filled her nostrils as smoke billowed from the hot flower tea.
L also had a knack for the tea ceremony. Her flower tea, which she brewed, seemed to have an irresistible aroma. She was different from the student who seemed very sorry for cooking.
“I always drink tea before bed.”
“I also saw Ardena always drinking tea before going to bed. It was a habit I learned from Sir El Cid.”
“Yes, it is.”
L laughed and said.
Then she opened her mouth again while looking alternately at Yushin and Ardena.
“The reason I always drink tea before bed is… , To leisurely recall what happened today. You can learn from today’s mistakes and cope with tomorrow’s work.”
It was a meaningful lesson from the elders.
Taking her El’s advice, Yushin followed her and recalled her today’s events.
What happened today,
Reminiscing about it, Yushin had to feel guilty in the eyes of Ardena, who was watching right next to him.
“But those pajamas….”
“Oh, you mean this?”
Elle lifted the sleeve of her dress.
Cute blue pajamas.
It was the same type of pajamas that Ardena is wearing now.
“Sorry, Mr. Gilead should have worn the same pajamas as Ardena, not me. Ah! Come to think of it, I’ve seen men’s pajamas with the same design in Ardena’s bedroom….”
“S, Master!”
Hearing a joke from her teacher, Ardena responded with a startled expression.
Of course she thought so, but….
It seemed so blatantly revealing that it was a romantic relationship that she did not dare to try.
And Allen Roxfield,
There was no way the woman would ever sit idle.
“Huh-huh, I didn’t expect Ardena to show such a startled look.”
Although many years have passed and the disciple has grown up, he still looks like a child in the eyes of his teacher.
El, who burst into laughter at Ardena’s shy appearance, looked at Yushin with her narrowed eyes. At her gaze, Yushin felt her innermost heart stabbed.
“You should go to sleep now.”
El turned her head and said to Ardena. At that, Ardena nodded her head.
Ardena to her own room,
And she says she will return to the cabin located in the forest of Valencia.
“Mr. Gilead, can we talk for a minute?”
“Yes.”
Before going back to the cabin
L left the drawing room with Yushin.
The two of them came out with Ardena behind them and walked around the garden surrounded by colorful flowers in full bloom.
Yushin couldn’t hide his bewilderment at the unexpected night walk with El Cid.
“Mr. Gilead, what kind of Ardena did you fall in love with?”
While walking in a garden where countless flowers bloomed,
As she passed a place where the marigolds were in full bloom, she suddenly sent her question.
Yushin answered the question.
“It’s a blunt and inflexible personality, but in fact, it’s cute that it’s a huge absurdity.”
“Whoops. You saw it right.”
As if she had always thought that way, Yushin’s answer without hesitation caused L to laugh at her.
She truly loves the child.
Elle reaffirms that Yushin truly loves Ardena.
I was a little concerned about the ‘other woman’s body odor’ that was now permeating his body, but I decided not to make it an issue. I heard that she went to the house of the student she is currently teaching. But the smell was too strong for such a thing.
“On the day when the big full moon rises in 15 days, the world tree, Bria, will be in full bloom.”
“World Tree… , You mean?”
At the word “World tree” That El brought out, Yushin raised a question.
I’ve often heard
A sacred tree that can be said to be the symbol of the priest’s head.
It is said that it was planted right before the country of the elves was born in the Liberia Peninsula, and after the death of the first priest, the remains were planted under the root of the world tree.
The place where the remains of the first priest, whom the elves worship as a god, are buried.
And the holy tree that the elves value more than their lives.
Yushin only knew the world tree that way.
“Then, is there going to be a festival at the World Tree in 15 days?”
A festival to pray for the peace of the divine tree and the prosperity of the elves….
Yushin guessed so.
But the exact opposite of that speculation was to happen.
“It’s not a festival…. If I had to say it, it would mean the opposite.”
“Yes?”
Yushin put on a puzzled expression at L’s remark, which he couldn’t possibly guess.
She asked her again.
But she didn’t answer.
Opposite of festival.
What does it mean?
The basic meaning of a festival is for all people to gather and share joy, so if you say the opposite…. Are you saying that even if everyone gathers and shares their sorrow, it will be held at the World Tree?
A place to share sorrow. Yushin thought of a funeral as the opposite meaning of a festival. She could have been just jumping to conclusions on her own, but she felt ominous about El’s remarks, so she took her words seriously.
