Certainly, here’s the translation of the passage:
But no matter how long I waited, I felt nothing.
No, to be precise, instead of pain, I felt a soft and fluffy sensation, as if I were floating on clouds.
I slowly opened one eye.
“Are you okay?”
The first thing I met as soon as I opened my eyes was a pair of violet eyes trembling with fear.
“Are you okay?”
Kirian asked again.
I couldn’t see his expression clearly because of the sunlight shining behind his head, but I knew it from Kirian’s voice and his clear red eyes even in the shadow.
That he was still anxious, even though he had caught me safely.
“Yes, I’m fine.”
It was contradictory, but I felt a strange tranquility in Kirian’s anxious arms.
“I, I”
Kirian’s voice trembled mercilessly. Kirian’s arms, holding my back, were rigid, holding me tightly.
“I really thought something was wrong……”
Staring at Kirian’s trembling eyes, I unconsciously reached out and covered his eyes with my palm.
Kirian’s long eyelashes fluttered a few times against my palm and then settled down with a sigh. There was a faint moisture in my palm.
“Don’t cry like a child. I’m fine.”
I said, though my eyes were stinging.
At the words ‘like a child’, Kirian, who I thought would flare up, just held me tighter.
After a while, Kirian pouted.
“You cried, so you have to take responsibility.”
I chuckled.
“Okay. It was my fault. I’m sorry.”
Kirian sighed again.
“You don’t know… how much… how much…”
Kirian could not continue and just held me for a while. I, too, listened quietly to Kirian’s irregular breathing without daring to ask him to put me down.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Are you okay?”
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
Hiss and Esmeralda came running late.
Esmeralda’s face was particularly pale. Somehow, she looked sicker than me, who had fallen from the tree.
I felt embarrassed, being cradled in the arms of the smaller Kirian, and kicked my legs, waving my arms.
“Whew. I’m fine. I’m fine. You can put me down now.”
“I don’t want to.”
Kirian flatly refused and started walking to the archery field again, carrying me.
Hiss followed quickly.
“You must find it hard to carry because of your small stature. Hand her over to me.”
Kirian glanced at Hiss.
“Our sister is too heavy for the prince to carry.”
This guy. Of all the excuses.
I got more irritated and kicked my legs harder.
“Really, you can put me down. My leg’s not broken or anything.”
But Kirian stubbornly carried me to a bench near the archery field.
“Sit here and rest, sister.”
Kirian put me down on the bench.
“Ugh.”
Just then, Esmeralda, who had been following us at a distance, suddenly collapsed.
“Esmeralda!”
I jumped up and ran to Esmeralda faster than anyone else.
“Ah… I’m, I’m okay.”
Esmeralda gasped for breath as if it was hard to breathe and continued with difficulty.
“I just got a little. Scared……”
After rubbing her back a few times, Esmeralda’s breathing gradually returned to normal.
Esmeralda clumsily grabbed my hand. Her rough hand covered my hand.
“I’m, sorry.”
Her voice trembled uncontrollably, and she finally burst into tears.
And so Esmeralda kept repeating her apologies until she finally calmed down.
It could have been interpreted as an apology for showing a poor appearance simply because she was surprised. But I couldn’t shake the feeling that something else was hidden behind it.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The competition ended inconclusively with Esmeralda in 1st place, me in 2nd, Kirian in 3rd, and Hiss in 4th. Kirian, whom I thought would be greatly disappointed, surprisingly accepted the result calmly.
Esmeralda awkwardly approached Kirian.
“I’m not sure if I can ask for a favor, but please take care of me.”
Kirian glanced at me.
“No, what do you want?”
I worriedly watched the two of them gradually disappearing from view.
But since Kirian seemed to listen well to what Esmeralda was saying, it must be fine.
“In the end, I ended up granting your wish.”
Once we were left alone, His finally smiled comfortably.
“Princess Reina must be disappointed to miss first place, but it’s an opportunity for me, so I can be a little happy, right?”
I shrugged my shoulders.
“I wasn’t really aiming for first place.”
Why is everyone so serious about wishes?
“What do you want? I’ll do my best to fulfill it for you.”
His’s green eyes shone with a unique warmth. His sincere gaze made me seriously consider as well.
But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of anything I wanted from His.
If I had to pick something, it would be money, of course. But I held back, fearing I’d be branded as the world’s greatest materialist.
“Um……”
After much thought, I eventually asked for something I had intended to ask the Duchess.
Actually, I was hesitant to ask the Duchess, so I didn’t mind asking someone else.
“Can you buy me a few romance novels? I’ve read everything in the library.”
It was a blessing in disguise.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
