“May I ask you out?”
“What, what are you saying?”
“I mean a date.”
So, he’s asking me out on a date now? If Reinhardt weren’t in front of me, I would have pinched myself just to check. It felt that unreal.
“To me? Why?”
“I’m not sure either.”
Huh? Not sure? What does that mean?
As I furrowed my brows, Reinhardt let out a short cough. The touch of his hand on his forehead revealed his awkward feelings.
“I want to be sure about my feelings.”
“To be honest, it’s a bit sudden and… it’s a bit burdensome.”
“I see. If dating feels burdensome, even a short teatime is fine.”
Teatime?
“Well then. If it’s a request I can fulfill, I should listen, right?”
Why did I even say such a thing?
I rolled my eyes and stared at Reinhardt. For someone who wants to be sure about his feelings, he seemed quite calm.
“After the subjugation, I promised to teach Lady Daisy swordsmanship. How about discussing it briefly at the Duke’s residence then?”
Reinhardt nodded lightly.
“That wouldn’t be bad. After all, I can meet Rosebelia-kyung after the subjugation.”
“…”
After a moment of silence, he raised his lips slightly and said, “I’ll be waiting for the day we meet again at the Duke’s residence.”
[Star icon]“They say the subjugation team will return to the capital tomorrow.”
Daisy’s hand froze in midair at Edwin’s words.
“Really?”
“Yes. They must be running hard right now. Fortunately, it seems there are no severely injured individuals this time.”
“That’s a relief.”
Edwin observed Daisy’s delighted expression as she tightly hugged her wooden sword like a child. The cheerful expression suddenly turned melancholic. Edwin, who had been keeping his eyes on Daisy’s face, tilted his head curiously and asked.
“Aren’t you happy that Vice-Captain and Rose are coming back?”
“I still can’t do anything properly. I wanted to show a more presentable appearance in front of Lady Rosebelia…”
Even her complaining look seemed cute to Edwin. A faint smile appeared on Edwin’s lips.
“No, thanks to Lady’s hard training, her posture has improved significantly.”
“Really?”
“Yes. And when you’re holding the wooden sword, isn’t the trembling in your arms much less than before? Rose would be amazed to see that.”
“Is that so?”
Looking somewhat surprised, Daisy, who had been tilting her head, tightened her grip on the wooden sword.
Edwin raised an eyebrow and, after a moment of eye contact, Daisy turned her gaze away abruptly.
“Why am I acting like this?”
Even her grumbling appearance seemed adorable to Edwin.
“Are you okay?”
While Edwin and Daisy stood facing each other, Edwin quickly reached out to catch her small body.
“I’m okay.”
“Your complexion doesn’t look good.”
Daisy opened her eyes wide. Even blinking rapidly, she felt as if the surroundings were spinning, but nothing changed.
“Why is this happening suddenly? It feels a bit dizzy…”
“Lady? Daisy, are you alright?”
In an instant, Daisy, who had been in Edwin’s arms, went limp. Edwin, looking around anxiously, muttered under his breath.
“Of all times, there’s no one passing by…”
“I’ll excuse myself for a moment.”
Edwin, who was holding Daisy tightly, quickly entered the main building.
“Daisy has fainted!”
His shout caused a commotion in the Duke’s residence. Edwin, who left Daisy in the care of the physician and came out, paced anxiously in the reception room.
Time seemed to slow down since he entered this room. All he could do was wait for the reception room door to open.
After some more time had passed, a knock was followed by the opening of the reception room door.
“Edwin, Sir.”
The one entering was the Duchess, Agnes.
“Duchess, is Miss Daisy okay?”
“She’s fine, so don’t worry too much.”
“I’m sorry. I heard not to be overly concerned, but it was my negligence.”
“No, it’s not like that. Lately, she’s been taking walks regularly and practicing her swordsmanship, making Daisy more active. Even the physician who has been taking care of Daisy for a long time said her complexion has improved.”
“But today, why… Are you really okay? Shouldn’t you show it to another physician?”
Agnes’s eyes narrowed for a moment.
“Lately, Daisy has had trouble sleeping. So, she felt a bit dizzy today.”
“What? But…”
Edwin raised his head with a puzzled expression.
‘Mother, that wasn’t a confession. Mr. Edwin treats me the same as before.’
Like holding Daisy and desperately shouting. Even though she said it’s okay, she still seemed at a loss.
‘From my point of view, at least, it seems like his feelings are clear.’
“Our Daisy is like that. If she doesn’t express it outwardly, no one will notice.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Exactly. My birthday celebration is coming up, so it would be nice if Mr. Edwin could come then.”
Leaning slightly towards Edwin, Agnes whispered more into his ear. Agnes, noticing Edwin’s surprised expression, suppressed her laughter.
“I’ll be looking forward to it.”
[Star icon]“How did it end up like this?”
“What are you talking about?”
