Chapter 108 (1/2)

Chapter 108: Chapter 108

There were some guys trying to win over her heart as if they could appreciate her worth, including the royal guard apparently dispatched by the sly emperor for her security.

When I came back to the capital, I hugged her as if to show off, controlling my raging annoyance. When I saw her hanging on to me with a bright smile, my always present emptiness seemed to melt away instantly. It was the first time I felt such a feeling.

Her shyness and trembling from before was gone. Now this little girl with silvery hair initiated an embrace, and the texture of her soft hair wrapped around my hands was so lovely.

“Allen.”

Damn it! At first, I first approached her with the idea of taking her away from my brother Alexis, and I felt good when she paid attention to me, but she became too precious a woman to me before I knew it. When I heard her calling my nickname shyly that no one else called, my empty heart was filled up with joy. When I saw my lady showing tears in her affectionate eyes, I felt so heartbroken.

Damn it! Now, I wanted to have all of her, not just her lovey eyes. Her blind trust in me was still fascinating, but her other things were as precious as her trust, such as her faint smile, her calm voice calling me Allen, her silvery hair sparkling like a river, and her golden eyes reflecting me.

‘I’m trapped!’

I thought I had trapped her in my net, but suddenly, I found myself trapped in the net. I gave a hollow smile, but I thought this was not bad either. As long as she looked at me, I could devote all of my body and soul to her, such as it was.

“Shall we move, Carsein?”

“Well, good.”

But I had to deal with this guy called Carsein de Lars.

His name was already familiar to me. He was born in the same year as me, called a genius like me and a duke’s son like me. I heard that when it came to swordsmanship, he was unmatched, but I was dumbfounded when I was treated as equal to him when he was only excellent in only one thing.

“Carsein, thanks for taking care of Tia while I was away.”

“… ”

“I wanted to see you once. I don’t know if I will see you often in the future, but I’m glad I can see you here like this.”

“What the heck?”

It looked like Carsein was not stupid, given that he noticed I hated him. While trying to smile at him gently, I stared at him sarcastically. I would not have done so in other places, but as he was in my lady’s house right now, I needed to control the expression on my face.

“Hey, I think I know what type of guy you are. Why don’t you show your true colors?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I’ve found out you’re trying to be kind to me only in front of her. So, let me see your true colors, dude!”

‘What the heck?’ I jeered at him. “Oh, you know what you’re doing, man. You look like a carrot guy!”

“What? Carrot guy?”

“Looking at the color of your hair, I think that’s a perfect comparison.”

“Hey, you little imbecile!”

“Are you going to challenge me now, you childish jerk! Come on if you dare.”

I smiled sarcastically at him as he raged with anger, shocked by my outspoken behavior.

But I felt so upset when I learned that he had been around my lady during my absence.

“It looks like you have become interested in Tia while I was away.”

“So what?”

“Piss off, when you can. She is mine. I won’t give her to anybody.”

“Why is she yours?”

“Dang it! What do you know about Tia, you bastard?”
