Chapter 9 (2/2)

I gasped.

Hold on, Mx Author. There was no mention of this man being this handsome…!

Underneath his military cap, his slicked-back black hair resembled a kingfisher’s plumage glistening in the mist, radiating a vibrant blue aura.

Like his straight hair, his eyebrows and eyelashes were thick.

His slate-blue eyes that directly looked at me were mesmerizing, like the sky after rainfall.

His sharp, prominent nose continued down to his closed lips and his chiseled chin displayed his strong will.

It was hard to argue that he was attractive.

In addition, the dignified look of his raised collar revealed his long, straight neck and square, broad shoulder, the result of a properly-fitted military uniform.

With his long arm and legs and well-defined muscles, he resembled a majestic stallion.

I gulped.

Without my knowing, my feet halted to a stop.

Snap out of it, snap out of it.

If no one were around, I almost wanted to slap myself for letting him sweep me off my feet.

And to think Luca’s angelic appearance took away my breath too…

In any case, Rüdiger’s looks were far better suited to my tastes, which violently took me by storm.

My heart was already pounding in my throat.

Then again, it was obvious that my heart would race after seeing such a pristine, polished apple on the pedestal that was Rüdiger after only seeing the dirty potatoes from the field that were the villagers.

How could Lea describe this kind of man as ‘stone-cold and scary’?

Was he so tall that she couldn’t get a proper look at him?

That couldn’t be it either.

Lea was only a hand’s width shorter than me.

I clicked my tongue in disbelief, unable to believe Lea at all.

Meanwhile, the man assumed to be Rüdiger walked towards me.

To think that he looked tall even from afar, but while he was approaching…

Oh, wait a sec. Of course, since he was so big, it made me feel uncomfortable.

Unknowingly, I began to shuffle backward.
