Episode 101

Eugene’s eyes shook at Rayl’s words.

From Rayl’s point of view, it looked as if the frozen lake was breaking apart in an instant.

Eugene, who opened his mouth to say something, closed his mouth again and bit his lips with his teeth.

“No, I’ve known it since the ball for the Foundation Day of the Academy, but I didn’t know that you had such a deep feeling.”

Eugene didn’t deny or affirm what Rayl said.

He just smacked his lips silently, with his blue eyes facing the floor.

But Rayl didn’t miss it.

Eugene’s cheeks are red.

“……how did you know?”

It took a long time for that tightly closed mouth to open.

When a low voice finally came out of his mouth, Rayl gave a succinct answer.

“Just. You know when you see it—”

Rayl replied with a slight smile.

“You care a lot about Yerine.”

At the words, Eugene strode forward to Rayl.

“Hey, Rayl Diamond.”

“Yes.”

When he looked up his blue eyes, Eugene spoke low in a threatening voice.

“You, don’t tell anyone about this.”

Some part of him wanted to tell Eugene that some people already knew Eugene had a crush on Yerine, but Rayl tried to bury it in his heart.

This is because Eugene was looking at him as if he’s going to throw his body into the battleground and blowing up the strongest attack magic if he opened his mouth.

“I won’t tell you. I couldn’t be your friend if I can’t keep this as a secret.”

“If you tell anyone about this, friends or heirs, whatever you are, I’m going to attack you right away.”

Rayl shuddered at Eugene’s threat.

“Okay, okay, I won’t tell. You know I have a heavy mouth.”

Eugene looked at Rayl with very suspicious eyes as if he disagreed, but Rayl laughed it off.

“By the way, is it that obvious? That I like her that much?”

For more,

Cassius’s gold eye shone under the feeble moonlight as if it had not been smeared at all.

‘Why did he turn into a tiger at a time like this?’

That’s what I thought and pointed to the seat next to me.

“Come and sit down.”

“Thank you.”

Cassius, as I said, came and sat next to me, and for a while, then silence fell.

“……you just used a blue flame.”

“Huh?”

“It’s not because I’m scared. It could be an attack, so I’m just trying to defend myself with the most powerful magic.”

Cassius looked at me and replied in a low voice to the belated excuse.

“Oh, I didn’t say anything, Yerine. Anyway, I see.”

Cassius seemed to sneak over, but it was all written on his face.

‘Tsk, it’s true that you thought I was scared.’

I hope Cassius will one day erase it from his memory.

If I, one of the Householders of the 7 Imperial Family and the top performer of the Academy, mistake the voice behind my back for a ghost and put on fire magic, I’m sure I’ll want to run out of the window.

‘I don’t want to imagine it.’

Then Cassius opened his mouth.

“By the way, Yerine, why are you out there? I didn’t expect to bump into you at this hour.”

“Just, I have something to think about.”

“Then, it’s great.”

Cassius smiled at my words.

At that moment, his face, which was fine after eating chocolate, passed through my memory.

“I had something to tell you anyway.”

“What do you mean?”

Cassius replied with a grin.

“Important things.”

Somehow, his smile was more ferocious than usual, with a fascinating atmosphere.

Suddenly, my heartbeat began to accelerate.

‘Wait a minute.’

There is no one around.

It’s just the two of us.

And it’s night.

In short, it is a very good environment to create a romantic situation.

The atmosphere of Cassius was also very unusual.

‘You’re not going to confess, are you?’

At that time when I was swallowing my inner scream, his golden eyes were full of me.
