66 – Falling in love after fighting

I woke up feeling stuffy. But nothing was visible.

Because something was covering my eyes.

The whole body is tied up. It was a similar feeling to when Sael tied me up to steal the snake’s orb.

I couldn’t say anything because there was something stuck in my mouth.

Fortunately, the ears were unharmed. As I moved little by little, I heard Shael’s voice.

“⋯⋯Ah, are you awake?”

“⋯.”

I was silent. Because there was something stuck in his mouth. Shael’s words that followed made me bewildered.

“If you wake up, talk to me.”

“⋯.”

My whole body is tied up, and I can’t even open my mouth. What do you want me to do?

“⋯⋯Ah.”

Fortunately, Shael noticed my stupid mistake and freed my vision by undoing her eyepatch.

I sent a signal to remove the tape from my mouth, but⋯⋯.

“No.”

Shael dismissed it. I wanted to clear up the misunderstanding right away, but thanks to someone, I think I’ll have to put it off.

It was the sound of Shael closing her book. Thick book. I could barely read the title of the book.

Why is there such a book?

It wasn’t long before I had no choice but to erase the complaint. Because Sael was coming towards me aiming for something in her.

Pook

It was the sound of Sael putting his hand on my head. The way Shael’s arms trembled, you could tell how nervous she was.

From the way her face turned red, it was clear that Shael was feeling ashamed of her.

I heard Sael’s voice.

“Well done.”

What on earth did you do well? It was a sudden compliment. With that awkward compliment, Shael started petting me.

I noticed right away. That Shael learned something from that strange book.

“How are you?”

Shael’s words. Of course I couldn’t answer. Because I still had the tape on my mouth.

I winked at him, and fortunately Sael took it off.

“If you loosen up your arms too…”

“Please answer first.”

Shael’s bloody words. Answered at once.

“It sounds pretty good.”

“Is that so?”

It felt really good to be stroked by Shael. Although she was a bit reluctant, feeling like a pet.

“⋯⋯ Pretty good isn’t enough.”

“Yes?”

At the same time, Shael stood up from her seat. Suddenly, Shael was holding the book she was reading.

A page was torn off.

‘Why are you ripping books?’

Moreover, that book must have been in the Baslet family’s library.

I was silent as I watched Sael’s bloody actions.

A little time passed like that. As she was flipping through the book, Shael stopped her.

Shael hesitantly opened her mouth. I heard her trembling voice.

“Today is…”

“⋯?”

“⋯You’re cute⋯⋯.”

Eventually, Shael shut her mouth. Shael’s body trembled with shame.

Soon after that, a piece of paper Shael had spread out was torn.

Shael takes a deep breath and relaxes. She said to Shael right away.

“Now loosen the rope.”

“⋯.”

Shael is worried. At the same time, I noticed that Shael’s expression looked a bit sad.

The serpent-like smile you showed me when you gave me medicine just now is gone.

“⋯.”

I thought as I looked at the silent Shael. She said that Shael would cry at any moment.

Shael must have been worried about me, who passed out for 15 days. Because when I woke up, she reflexively hugged me.

Then she suddenly finds out that her fiancé is cheating on her. Of course, that was an illusion stemming from Shael’s misunderstanding…

Anyway, it was a situation where anyone would be sad. In fact, Shael even made her cry.

I didn’t want to say that while being tied up with a rope. But I didn’t care.

The important thing to me is Shael. She’s not proud

She spoke hastily before Sael’s expression changed further.

“Do you like dessert?”

“⋯?”

Shael questioned my sudden question. Despite that sudden question, Shael, who loves dessert to death, just nodded her head.

I recalled the memories at the same time.

-‘⋯⋯Nu, Guo.’

-‘I am a person who really likes dessert. She loves my desserts to death.’

Before passing out due to the medicine Sael gave him. She chewed on the conversation at that time and said to Shael.

“You really like my dessert.”

Shael nodded her head. Why are you suddenly asking me this, I jumped before Shael could even say it.

“I have a very dirty personality.”

ㅡ’First of all, he has a very dirty personality.’

The conversation we had before passing out was what came to mind as well.

Shael frowns at her. If you were to hear those words in her face, of course you wouldn’t be able to do that.

“Suddenly something…”

“Still, you’ve become kinder these days.”

He helped me with cooking, which I am not so good at, and felt sadness for me, who fainted for 15 days.

I was sure. Villain Shael has changed.

The cruel villainess had become a woman complaining about her love before she knew it.

So a good boy needed a reward. To compensate, I spoke to Shael. Before passing out again, she said, recalling the conversation she had with Shael.

“Sometimes he does cute things.”

ㅡ’Sometimes, it is a really cute woman who points out nonsense.’

Next, Shael looked up.

Shael hardens her face in embarrassment. No matter how ignorant I was, my words would have reminded me of a conversation from a while ago.

Of course, I have no intention of waiting for Shael to panic. She said right away.

“You have always been by my side.”

ㅡ’She is also the woman who is always by my side.’

Is that all she is? I thought of Shael every moment. To rehabilitate the troublesome villain.

And that effort was never in vain. As a result of sincere efforts, the villainess has changed.

Thinking of this, she opened her mouth.

“I plan to be by your side in the future as well.”

“⋯.”

Shael sighed. After waiting some time for Shael, who was surprised, she said.

“Do you understand now? The woman I love is…”

A woman who likes my dessert and has a bad temper. A woman who is sometimes cute and always by my side.

“I am not a female knight from the Baslet family.”

“⋯.”

“Not even the Baslet family’s maid.”

Then who would it be? There is only one.

A name that captivated me from the first time I read the novel. I said it clearly, as if reciting its name.

“⋯⋯This is Sael from Azbel.”

“⋯⋯Ah.”

The trajectory after I became possessed in the novel. No, maybe my trajectory from the distant past was finally bearing fruit.

It wasn’t all happy things. I go through unfortunate things, and I make Sael feel sad.

I also went through a lot of hardships. From the training that went on every single day, to the bullying of the wicked woman.

But I didn’t give in. Rather, I was just doing my best.

Even though the process was never smooth.

Obviously, the ending would be perfect.

Because I was so sure.

“⋯⋯That.”

My heart pounded when I heard Sael’s words. She looked up at Shael, holding her breath, unable to calm down. Seeing Shael’s face made me laugh like an idiot.

Shael’s face turned bright red in contrast to the light blue hair. Because Shael’s face was representing her feelings.

Shael felt the same way as me.

She was relieved by that fact and asked, glancing at the rope still tying me.

“Could you please release it?”

“⋯Do, do⋯⋯.”

Shael muttered after her. Of course, you know that my words are the truth without lies.

“⋯Don’t lie⋯⋯.”

Nevertheless, denying that my words are lies…

Because the Sael I know was shy.

So it was an expected situation. But what Shael said after that was something I never expected.

“⋯.”

Shael gasped. As if, she had a look on her face telling her to be.

“⋯⋯I think I like it too.”

I like it, neither. You seem to like it, Rani.

It was a Sael-like confession. Of course, I was satisfied with Sael’s confession.

I never thought that Sael would express her feelings so quickly.

“⋯.”

Shael looks at me. She wasn’t glaring at me like she used to be.

I also turned my gaze to Sael, and Sael turned her head away.

Reminds me of old memories. When I first met Shael after being possessed in a novel.

-‘I don’t want to see it, so look over there.’

-‘⋯⋯Yes.’

The villain who turned her head away saying she didn’t want to see me.

But it was different now. It’s not that I turned my head because I didn’t want to see it.

Shael couldn’t hide her shyness.

I could tell by looking at Shael, who was looking sideways at me with her head turned. Even her face was red.

Looking at Shael, I chewed on her past.

-‘⋯ Bitch like a dog.’

Sometimes she cursed at me, saying that she was a bitch like a dog. She even threatened to rip her ears out with a sword.

It’s a past that doesn’t suit at all to be the beginning of a lover.

What kind of lovers would have started from a relationship that harassed each other.

But there is a saying. Those words that suited us, I put them in my mouth.

“There is a saying that you become attached after fighting.”

Shael’s eyes widen. Shael smiled for a moment. She replied as if she sympathized with my words.

“⋯⋯We fought so fiercely.”

That’s right. Because the fight with the wicked woman was terrifying.

But thanks to that, Sael and I were able to build a terrible bond. And from now on, it was time to check the accumulated affection.
