I Became the Villain of a Romance Fantasy

151 – Love Frontline (4)

We finished our business at the Cromel Mansion and went back to the Krause Mansion. Ludwig agreed to go after a night’s sleep, but since the distance between the mansions wasn’t too far, he had no reason to be rude.

The time wasn’t too late, so the lights were still on in the city, and it was enough time to show Alphonse the night view of Luden. Luden was a great city not only during the day but also at night, so I thought the return road was a night walk and walked.

“Sorry…”

“…”

In fact, there were times when I left the mansion thinking that if I continued like this, I would be tormented by Reinhardt until the next day.

I already do that in the dormitory, but it’s been a while since I’ve left the dormitory and I’m free to spend time outside, and I didn’t want to be invaded by him even during this time.

It wasn’t that I hated hanging out with my friends, but the owner of my time had already been decided.

“It’s strange. The girl you accidentally rescued from the street was actually your brother’s friend’s younger sister. And the fact that we met again that same evening… As the swordsman said, the Krauss family has strong bonds between people. Is there some kind of mysterious power that attracts them?”

As I told Alphonse what I had heard, Elena looked up at me, her purple eyes twinkling.

The Sword Saint may have meant it as a joke, but Elena seemed to wonder if she really had such power in our family.

Of course, this is just a coincidence, but since there were so many cases starting with my father, it was a bit hard to deny anything. If she did, I also wondered if there was really something in our family lineage.

She answered Elena, wiping the water from her hair.

“I’m sure it is. If my family really has such power, I should be grateful for it. Thanks to you, I can be with you like this.”

When I said that, she leaned her head towards me with a Betsy smile. All the moisture that had remained in her hair until just before had disappeared, leaving only a slight chill. I took her Elena’s hand with her two hands and locked her in her arms.

Helena’s soft hair emanated the same subtle lavender scent as always.

She tried to approach her cautiously, as if she were smelling the scent of a flower, but when she was intoxicated by the scent, she buried her face in Elena’s hair before she knew it. I inadvertently rubbed her cheeks at her nice scent and soft touch. It felt like I was holding a big doll.

As I was playing with her hair like this, Elena played with my hand that was placed on top of her own.

I put her fingers together to make her heart shape and she put my hands on her cheeks and kneaded them. I always put on a sullen look when I played with her cheeks, but I guess Elena liked it too.

Elena seemed to be satisfied with the time they spent together after a long time. I also liked this time.

“Does Rize like Alphonse?”

After playing with my hand for a while, Elena suddenly asked me this question.

Looking at Alphonse and Lizerote in the mansion, it seems that he felt something.

As far as I can see, Liserotte had a goodwill towards Alphonse from the first time I saw her. Elena seems to be talking in a slightly different sense.

“Well. Maybe you really just want to be friends.”

“Is that so? I hope the two of you get along well.”

I said I didn’t know.

People think that children’s emotions are relatively simple, but I am a person who believes that there is no difference between children and adults in having certain emotions. You may feel favor for saving his life, but it was another story when it fell into romantic feelings.

For that reason, I couldn’t hastily agree with Elena’s words.

It’s not impossible, but I didn’t want to think about it that way.

Is it because I heard such a story from the Sword Saint? She already knew that she liked Haley, so she thought that if Lizerotte fell in love with Alphonse, her future would be no different from her father’s.

I don’t know why, but I heard that there were many single-minded people in my family from old times.

In fact, in the history of the Krause family, there were almost no concubines. Of course, I’m not generalizing that Alphonse would be like other ancestors, but at least the younger brother I saw was a guy who knew how to keep his resolutions to the end.

‘Is it because Alphonse doesn’t know that he likes Hailey?’

Elena seems to think that Alphonse and Lizelote’s relationship is developing, but she wonders why she is like that, but realizes that she still doesn’t know who Alphonse likes.

Certainly Elena is a bit slow at reading the emotions of others.

In the original work, even though Richard hadn’t confessed for over ten years, he had expressed a lot during that time, but seeing that he didn’t notice it until the end, it seems that Elena also had something called insensitivity.

In fact, reading this emotion is also about guessing by guessing, so there is a big difference in accuracy from person to person. It’s me, well, I had a lot of affairs related to dating in the past, so I couldn’t help but notice this kind of thing, but it wasn’t Elena.

In the case of Alphonse and Hailey, since the two have an age difference, it might be difficult to continue thinking in that direction.

‘Hmm? Is something strange?”

When I thought of Elena’s insensitivity attribute, a contradiction arose in my head.

That she had never thought of Elena as insensitive. I saw in the book the ‘setup’ and ‘story’ that Elena was insensitive to, so she thought so, but this was the first time she actually felt that way.

The reason Elena sent me from her first meeting is a favor I don’t know. It’s still in the realm of speculation.

“Damian?”

As I thought about why this happened, my consciousness drifted away from reality for a moment. Thought so deeply that I couldn’t find the answer.

What brought me back to reality was the strange touch I felt on my lips. When I finished my thoughts and came to my senses, Elena, who I don’t know when she turned around, hugged me and kissed her.

“What are you thinking?”

As I blinked her eyes at her, her Elena moved closer to me again, as if telling her to focus on herself.

I realized that it was her worry that was of no use to her, and I hugged her.

***

Waking from her slumber, Elena was relieved to see that she was not accustomed to the ceiling being reflected in her eyes.

If this is the ceiling you are familiar with in Luden, it must be your room or dormitory in the Edelweiss family’s mansion. Yesterday, he and Damian had been here for the first time, so it was only natural that he wasn’t used to it. Elena lay down on her bed and stared at her ceiling, recalling her memory bit by bit.

Yesterday was a pleasant day for Elena.

A day that passes quietly without any problems always puts her at ease, but not as much as her brother’s face she sees after a long time. Most of all, what she liked most was that she found new relationships that were different from before.

For her who has done her twice or her regression, her change has not been the enemy. It’s her change, her words, since it was the best proof that her own regression had meaning. The relationship between Alphonse and Liserotte, which was different from her previous one, meant that to Elena.

“Damian said he didn’t think so… But he’s insensitive.”

The fact that he was insensitive was well known from before.

He seems to think he’s not like that, but if that’s the case, shouldn’t he have noticed his heart a long time ago? Of course, it was not without the influence of his actions, but it was clear that he was insensitive to his feelings towards him.

The evidence was so clear that Elena decided to trust her own judgment.

When she thought of Damian, she stroked the blanket pleasantly at the strange heat remaining in her body.

She thought that if she stayed up on the bed like this, she might be able to play pranks with him here like yesterday. There were no classes for the time being due to the upcoming Seongshin Festival, and there was plenty of time.

As Elena was fidgeting under the covers for a moment, she suddenly came up with this idea. She said, “Damian always comes to wake him up, so why don’t I go the opposite way this time?” This wasn’t a bad idea, and Elena decided to move on with it right away.

As I pulled off the blanket and got up, the view of the spacious bedroom came into view.

I didn’t feel like playing with him yesterday, but he could tell that he had a long history in the south, just like the Isilia pavilion where he was staying. It didn’t concern her how deep the history was, but apart from that, Elena liked this spacious bedroom.

The room Elena was assigned in her dormitory was by no means small, but that doesn’t mean she can’t be compared to this place. Elena got up from the bed with a small smile at the strange sense of release that emanated from her spacious space.

Smart-

As she was getting ready to go out, she heard someone knocking on the door.

For a moment, I wondered if he had struck first, but I knew from the voice that followed that it wasn’t Damian who knocked on the door.

“Ma’am, I’m sorry for this early morning, but may I come in?”

It was none other than Louis who knocked on the room door.

It was questionable why she came looking for him, but the fact that she wasn’t Damian was enough to reassure Elena.

With Elena’s permission, Louis, who entered the room, looked a little different from before. Plain clothes, not the knightly uniforms he always wore. The important thing was that he looked different than usual, although he still stuck to the pants that were easy to move in.

“Sir Lewis, what business do you have with me?”

Louise was Damian’s knight, and if she ever got into trouble, it was Damian who had to deal with it. Because that was his duty as a master. But looking at Louis now, he seemed to know that the reason she came to see him was for a very personal matter.

“That…That’s…”

Louis, who always showed a steady appearance like a knight in a story, now trembled embarrassedly.

Elena didn’t even have time to be surprised by this, Louise told her.

“Woah, I want to get dating counseling…”

“Yes?”
