My Childhood Friend the Demon Knight Hates Me

Heart Break 3

Chapter 3

Reiss is under a big tree in front of the orphanage.

He seemed to be surrounded by girls. One of them was wearing a seemingly expensive garments and a daughter of an influential merchant. Her hair has a beautiful curl and emits an aura of refinement. I wonder if she’s acquainted with someone.

Reiss is quite pular among the beautiful girls in town, having somewhat slender stature but emits a masculine aura, a height somewhat taller than in his age. He is somehow always surrounded with girls whenever he’s outside.

They used to avoid Reiss and felt remorse because of his pitch black hair and red-eyes but as of lately they’ve been viewing it as his “charm“.

I suppressed my feelings of unease and just looked at them from afar.c

“I wonder if Reiss is the lover of the daughter from the Valette household?”

Hearing that question, my shoulders jolted excessively. That daughter being asked from Valette was me.  Our family before was serving the feudal lords in the kingdom of Allevel for generations and during the servitude the feudal lord has granted us n.o.bility and family name.

Even though I was the daughter of the household, since from before, rumors of me “getting along” with a boy which I’m always together with has been spreading.

Even though Reiss is an orphan, since my parents and Uncle Allan are really close, we have he has been referred to as my “fiancé”.

I wonder what will Reiss answer?

While clutching the garment on my chest, I calmed my wildly beating heart and focused all my senses on my ears.

He might deny it that we’re on a “lovers” relations.h.i.+p but I have a little expectation. Maybe something like “bestfriend” or as much as “a very important family“. Even “just a childhood friend” doesn’t matter.

Even though my current relations.h.i.+p with Reiss is awkward, I wanted those words to come from his mouth. And I was antic.i.p.ating for his answer.

But reality is cruel.

“Lovers? Please don’t spout such nonsense. ————I do not like that woman. Rather it’s hate. I hate her.”

Even though I’m far from Reiss, I can see his cold eyes as he said those words scornfully.

As the wind pa.s.sed by, those words was blown together and reached my ears without filter. Then I felt something p.r.i.c.kling my chest, it was surely a crack, my heart crumbled.

Th strength on my body is slowly fading.

All the “pain” the my body that I am feeling was deceiving me that it must have just been a poison that’s slowly spreading put.

………—it’s hate. I hate her.

Hearing those words, resounding again and again, tears started to flow from my eyes.

But, his spouting didn’t end yet.

“She had a rough personality. There is no glint of feminity from her.”

“Her appearance is just plain and you can’t find anything to praise about her.”

“She just come to me annoyingly and just continue to bother me every single time.”

Insults coming in one after another. The women in front of Reiss without a doubt are having a hard time of what to say.

…………—me on the other hand, having my feelings of “sadness” reaching its limits are having something other than that coming out as I listen to his continuous insults.

Roughness? No glint of feminity?

Surely it’s true. “I don’t care about that, I just want you to grow healthily“, was under my father’s educational instructions for his daughter, I was raised as a vegetarian, where I can’t freely touching sweets and was not thought sewing and stuffs thoroughly.
