Chapter 6 (2/2)

“Isn’t it hot?”

“… If it’s too hot for you I’ll withdraw from the fight right away.”

The next match is about to start and Felix continues to the next fight. Since it’s a tournament, the following mock battles seems to be getting exciting.

“Do you want some water?”

“No thanks.”

“Who’s your next opponent?”

“Yule el le Loomis.”

“Ah—”

The Platoon Commander can’t seem to hide his sour expression as he looked back to Felix. Following him, Aurora finds the atmosphere freezing back to zero.

“That man is…?”

“Yule, he’s in bad terms with Felix.”

“I see.”

Just like Platoon Commander Ingels, Felix didn’t even tried to hide his displeasure and closed his eyes tightly. Platoon Commander’s low voice erased Aurora’s interest on the mock battle, leaving her with bitter taste.

“Yule is one of the best knight in the 1st Unit.”

“That man?”

“A good looking son of a noble house.”

“Hmm…”

“With shiny blonde hair and glistening blue eyes.”

“Hmm…”

“Those are what ladies usually screams.”

“Well, he somewhat resembles Clavis-sama.”

“Oh, do they put the same air of arrogance? ”

“Ah, I don’t mean it like that.”

“Platoon Commander.”

Aurora jumped back in surprise at Felix’s voice. Even though it was early summer, Felix eyes stared so cold it’s almost like winter.

“I’m going now. I hope you will take good care of Lady Porta.”

“Leave it to me. I won’t let any ‘insects’ near her so go wild as you want.”

Felix bowed deeply to Ingels who replied with a wave of his hand while Aurora folded her fan to do a courtesy.

“May the fortunes of war be with you.”

“I won’t lose…”

Felix told Aurora with keen and determined eyes then turned around, she saw him off looking at his back. Although he’s known for his shining silver hair, right now he’s like a sharp blade.

Over his back, Aurora could see the figure of a man with shining blonde hair. He must be Yule el le Loomis. Even at a distance, one can see his remarkable figure and his appearance was hardly resembles Felix—he’s too flashy.

They were the exact opposite of each other.

A wave of uneasiness flashed over Aurora causing her to let out a sigh.
