However, he hesitated unexpectedly at her casual question. It was strange yet intriguing to see him like this.
She quietly waited for him. Given his prolonged silence, it seemed he hadn’t come without reason. Finally, he parted his lips after a long while.
“……I stopped by because there is something I wish to give you.”
“Something you wish to give?”
Evelia looked at him with surprised eyes. That’s when she noticed he had been hiding one hand behind his broad back. Clearly, he held something he wanted to give her.
Evelia calmly waited for him to reveal his hidden hand. If it took that long just to hear his voice, it took even longer to see his hand.
But the wait was not in vain. What he offered was beyond her wildest expectations.
“Your Highness, this is…….”
Evelia looked at him, unable to hide her bewilderment. In his hand was a crudely broken cherry tree branch.
“I picked a branch of the cherry tree you like.”
He said softly, a subtle smile gracing his lips. Evelia found herself unable to easily accept the cherry tree branch.
She felt uneasy. She couldn’t understand why he wanted to give her this.
“Do you not like it?”
His immediate words made Evelia lift her head sharply.
Not like it? No, that was not the case. Quite the opposite, and that was the problem.
The cherry tree bore her favorite blossoms. Especially when it was him offering it, how could she not like it? It couldn’t be more perfect, and that’s why she was confused.
How did he know she loved cherry trees?
“Your Highness…… how did you know?”
“Know what?”
“That I love cherry trees.”
Evelia struggled to hide her trembling heart as she carefully looked at him. Perhaps it was an unexpected question, as his pupils faintly quivered.
The seemingly insignificant tremor felt profoundly meaningful. Thus, Evelia couldn’t take her eyes off Liurian for even a moment.
He was unable to reply easily. The more he hesitated, the more Evelia’s heart filled with anticipation.
Since becoming the crown princess, she had never discussed her taste in flowers with anyone. When the season of blooming light pink petals arrived, she simply admired them in secret and stored them deep in her heart.
Could he have seen her doing so? Otherwise, this situation, where he knew about her taste, was inexplicable.
“Just….”
“….”
“Somehow, I felt you’d like it.”
After much contemplation, he replied like that. It was not what she had been waiting for. Yet Evelia was not disappointed.
He had said “just,” but her intuition told her it wasn’t just that. A blind conviction swept over her that he precisely knew her taste.
She couldn’t tell where this conviction came from. If she had to give a reason, it was also “just.”
“Thank you, Your Highness.”
Evelia reached out to the cherry tree branch a bit late. Even so, he happily handed it to her.
At that moment, their warm hands lightly touched and separated. It was perhaps a trivial contact, more like a brush. Yet Evelia could look at him with a more affectionate face than ever before.
The touch was not too brief to feel his sincerity. No, it was ample. So, she could laugh heartily, filled with utter happiness.
Just then, the wind blew, carrying with it the sweet yet refreshing scent of cherry blossoms.
Evelia took a deep breath, filling her lungs with the happiness she felt at that moment, and exhaled slowly. She sent her happiness of the day on that incoming breeze.
And she desperately wished. That the happiness sent today would return with the next season of blooming light pink flowers.
If that could happen, she thought she could endure, even if he no longer looked at her affectionately. She felt she could willingly love him alone once more.
It was a warm spring day. A cruel spring wind gently blew through her heart.
