At Sylvia’s voice, Cedric’s thoughts were interrupted, and his eyes widened.
“Okay. Sylvia. Good job.”
Sylvia’s gaze lingered on Cedric’s calm face.
“My lord.”
“Yes. Speak.”
“May I ask one question?”
Cedric nodded slightly.
“When you first told me to watch over the lady, I asked why.”
“…….”
“At that time, you didn’t say anything.”
Sylvia looked more serious than ever.
“Can you tell me now?”
Cedric, who had seemed to be frozen, sighed shortly.
Then slowly pushed up one corner of his lip.
“Sylvia. Why are you curious?”
Sylvia asked, pressing her lips tightly and looking him straight in the eye.
“I asked why you’re curious.”
At his low, subdued voice, Sylvia, who had been hesitating, slowly opened her mouth.
“If it’s not to protect the lady, I will quit.”
“……What?”
“Exactly as I said. If you harbor other intentions towards the lady, I will quit.”
In the darkness, Sylvia’s determined eyes shone unusually bright.
He looked at Sylvia, who was defying his order, with twisted eyes.
“Why?”
“I want the lady to be happy.”
“…….”
“It may be presumptuous, but I want to protect her happiness.”
Without blinking once, Cedric stared back, then spat out a snicker.
At Cedric’s inexplicable laughter, Sylvia’s eyes widened in confusion.
“No matter how I think about it, Lamein is a truly fascinating person, isn’t she?”
“……What do you mean?”
Instead of answering, Cedric wore a gentle smile.
“Anyway, even if you quit, Sylvia, I can just use someone else.”
Sylvia looked deeply into his eyes with her darkening eyes.
It was a look of resentment, as if asking if it really had to be that way.
“But you don’t have to quit.”
Sylvia’s crumpled eyelids slowly rolled up.
“And I understand that you wish for Lamein to be happy. But don’t try too hard.”
“……”
“That’s my part. Not yours.”
Only then did Sylvia relax her frozen expression.
A moment of silence flowed between the two who faced each other in the dark.
Sylvia silently stared at Cedric’s face, which seemed lost in thought.
A faint smile spread over Cedric’s face, bathed in moonlight.
“Sylvia. Do you know why I said Lamein is fascinating?”
“No, I don’t know.”
A short silence like a comma passed.
“Just watching her makes me laugh for no reason, and when she’s not in front of me, I feel like dying of curiosity about what she’s doing.”
Sylvia slightly widened her eyes.
“When I see a slightly worried look in her eyes, my heart feels like it’s dropping.”
“……”
“So even if I’m in pain, I never want to say I’m in pain.”
Cedric narrowed his eyes and vehemently shook his head.
“It seems like anger and nagging, but I don’t dislike hearing it. Isn’t it strange?”
Sylvia, who had been holding her breath, slowly moved her lips, where a gentle smile spread.
“It’s strange.”
“Isn’t it?”
Cedric asked, slightly widening his eyes.
“You, the Earl, are more fascinating than the Lady.”
“……”
“That you don’t know why you’re more fascinating.”
Still not understanding, she looked at her master and softly smiled.
“You are in love.”
Cedric’s pupils quivered ever so slightly as if brushed by the wind.
“That’s what love is.”
…… This fool, who is only handsome and has a good body.
Sylvia, who decided to hold back those words, smiled a bit more deeply.
