Chapter 102: Chapter 102
As the clowns moved around and had the spectators in stitches, Allendis sat stiff in a pensive mood and looked at me with a puzzled expression.
“Ah, nothing.”
“Huh? Anything wrong with the flower? ”
“Oh, no. Well, I just don’t think I’ve ever received a flower from anybody. ”
After hesitating for a moment, he said casually, “Aren’t you hungry, Tia? It’s already past dinner time.”
“Really? I feel hungry a bit.”
“How about the restaurant we went to last time? They serve good food there. ”
“Sure, let’s go.”
We passed through the crowds who still had no signs of decreasing and left the commoners’ district.
As I was amazed by lots of things I saw today and I felt good about the red flower I received,
I kept talking to him while walking toward the restaurant, but he responded belatedly as if he was preoccupied with something else.
‘He is really weird. I thought he was okay before the show started.’
However, when I thought about his attitude, I didn’t think he would answer if I asked why, so I just headed to the restaurant without asking.
When we arrived at the restaurant after a long walk, there were not many customers. We sat at a table with a good view that was isolated from the outside, but Allendis asked me to excuse him briefly. After he came back, we ordered and soon enjoyed the dishes, which were quite good today.
When I smiled in satisfaction, cut a piece of a dessert cake, and put it in my mouth, a waitress appeared with a handful of flowers and handed them to me.
‘What the heck?’ When I looked at him curiously, Allendis said with a smile, “Take them, Tia.”
“Ugh?”
“You said you had never received a flower from anybody, so I ordered them.”
“Ah. Thanks, Allen. They’re really pretty.”
Did he act strangely a little while ago because of flowers for me? I smiled, looking at the handful of flowers in my arms. When I was smelling the scent of the flowers with my face close to them, he opened his mouth after hesitating for a while.
“Tia.”
“Huh?”
“Tia, my lady.”
“Why, Allen?”
“I would like to tell you something.”
“Huh? What is that?”
His emerald eyes looking at me were sparkling intensely.
Then he took a deep breath and said, “I like you, Tia.”
