────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────Chapter 29

I went again to the library, nearly operating, as I gasped for breath. I straightened my disorganized cap and fanned my vibrant cheeks, however then Lucy rushed in.

“Lily! You’re being reassigned?!”

“…You already heard? I suppose I’m.”

It should have been introduced whereas I used to be away. I sighed and nodded.

“Good for you! I heard that the meals on the knight’s quarters is de facto good…!”

“…Ah, positive.”

“It’s true! Don’t starve over there and eat properly. Whether or not it’s Commander Regulus or Commander Lucen, go eat along with them.”

To be trustworthy, I don’t need to go. However as Lucy was saying that she was jealous, I might solely nod. I imagined how scrumptious the meals could be—however that in itself wasn’t actually a gorgeous facet to me since I didn’t eat a lot within the first place.

I saved nodding although my expression was crumpled, however Lucy made a fuss and mentioned, ‘Oh, that’s proper!’

“Lily, I didn’t know you knew Commander Cygnus?”

“Huh? N-No. It’s my first time assembly him right now.”

“Actually? Hmm…”

“What’s mistaken?”

“No, it’s simply that you just say you met him for the primary time right now, however I’m questioning how he acknowledged you immediately. Even your face is swollen like this, so I’m making an attempt to guess the way you knew one another.”

The second I heard this, I stood there blankly and shook my head. Perhaps that’s why Lucy was shocked earlier. I might say that I simply know his traits after listening to about them from Damian. Simply that.

“It’s like that.”

“What’s?”

“It’s similar to that.”

“…I’m asking, simply what’s?”

“It’s like that, proper?”

“No, what on earth are you speaking about?!”

The voice that spilled out of my lips nearly gave the impression of a cry, and I actually did really feel like I used to be going to cry once more due to this horrifying shift in temper. Feeling my eyes prickle, I grabbed Lucy’s arm and shook it.

“What do you assume, Hyung? Don’t they resemble one another?”

“…The eyes.”

“Eyes?”

“Their eyes are comparable. Their voices, too, and…”

Watching Lily operating away from a distance, Damian chuckled on the stammering Odil. That’s comprehensible. When Damian first noticed her, she had such a unique air to her that he didn’t assume they had been the identical particular person. That’s why he saved observing Lily.

Nevertheless it was for a unique cause from Damian that Odil turned flustered. Slightly, as quickly as he noticed Lily, he acknowledged her from only a single look. Neither Lily nor Damian is aware of this, however Odil’s superb lady didn’t change. It was nonetheless the lady he noticed crying at daybreak.

That’s why the truth that he hadn’t observed her till now flustered him a lot and, on the similar time, it made him uncomfortable. Simply how a lot had she been avoiding him.

“However I suppose she cried quite a bit. You noticed her face, proper?”

“What occurred to her face?”

“Are you able to say that despite the fact that her face was so clearly swollen?”

“Is it swollen? I feel it’s the identical as traditional.”

“……”

Apparently, Damian didn’t know something about this Hyung both. Though her eyes had been swollen a lot that they had been squinted in such an exaggerated means, Damian couldn’t imagine that Odil thought she seemed the identical as traditional… He spoke out.

“It looks as if she cried as a result of her eyelids had been crimson. However why…”

It didn’t make sense to Odil. She was crying all evening lengthy? Why?

“It’s like that, Hyung. It appears like she turns into a unique particular person after switching. However as you possibly can see, she feels very awkward with us throughout the day and hates speaking about what occurs at evening. It’s apparent simply how she’s been avoiding Hyung a lot that you just met solely once you visited her first. It’s not as a result of she wished to satisfy you.”

“She didn’t… need to?”

“Ah, don’t make that face once more. There should be a cause behind it, a cause. Slightly than that, I bought her out to Hyung, so I ought to look out for myself for some time.”

Anyway, it was all going swimmingly. Damian made Odil and Lily meet, so he questioned what sort of payback Lily would do unto him.

And he remembered what occurred yesterday morning when he spoke concerning the library and watched Odil placing every part apart as he figured it out.

❦ ❦ ❦

“…Sorry, I’m a bit of late.”

Odil all the time arrived on the convention room earlier than anybody else, however that day, he was the final one to reach. He was even later than Regulus, and his face wasn’t simply pale—he was nearly blue.

With widened eyes, Ares noticed him stumble in, so he helped the opposite man. However simply as he did, he blushed instantly.

Endymion and Damian noticed this and checked out them perplexedly, however they quickly discovered the explanation. At one look, they noticed the crimson marks as a result of Odil didn’t clasp all of the buttons of his uniform to the tip.

“Odil, yesterday—no, um…”

When Ares hesitated as he tried to ask, Odil seemed again at him with a gaunt face. Then, he seemed inside his unkempt garments, making his expression crumple. Watching as Odil cursed beneath his breath, Damian had one thought.

‘It occurred, it actually did.’

And his lips pouted crookedly. She mentioned she didn’t need to be caught.

At this, Damian thought that Lily undoubtedly obtained found by Odil. Since she had extra nightly rendezvous with Odil in comparison with the opposite commanders, Damian was feeling a bit disillusioned that his plan—to take pleasure in her for some time extra—was already over.

He was away on such a protracted mission, so he thought that he might lastly unwind… Whereas grumbling to himself, he clicked his tongue and casually seemed again. Endymion was smiling as if he knew what Damian was considering.

“…Let’s discuss this later. Work first.”

Aside from Regulus, who nonetheless didn’t know, everybody right here on this convention room already knew. Odil hesitated to talk up, however this was all he mentioned. Then, Regulus responded with a depressing expression.

“I’m jealous of you, Commander Odil. I noticed you with Noona this morning.”

“What are you speaking about impulsively, Regulus.”

“I went to go see Noona yesterday, however she wasn’t there, so I went round alone, however… . Ought to I simply come again later after the assembly?”

Odil frowned at Regulus’ sudden shift in subject. Ares responded by saying, ‘Huh? Huh?’ as if he was flustered, and Damian had no ideas happening in his head. In the meantime, Endymion was considering, ‘Ought to I cease it right here or not?’

“Damian. You didn’t feed Regulus something bizarre, did you?”

“No, Hyung. I didn’t give him something bizarre, did you?”

“It already occurred earlier than. That’s why it’s necessary to know individuals’s traditional habits.”

“I’m wonderful. It’s not that, it’s simply that Commander Odil…”

On the verge of tears, Regulus obtained up from his seat and approached Odil. And when he hugged the opposite man, Damian burst into laughter.

“Ah, I knew it. You met with Noona, proper?”

“Simply what are you…”

Odil simply hugged Regulus again, however then as if he realized one thing at that second, his expression hardened.

“Noona… What older sister?”

Regulus got here to the palace alone with none household or shut buddies after he turned the youngest commander. He didn’t present it that a lot, however Odil knew that he was lonely.

He thought that Ares and Damian, who had been like household to the child, had been sufficient for him, however he did see Regulus going round with none vitality whereas the 2 had been gone on their long-term missions.

Then sooner or later, he turned vibrant like a pet operating within the snow. Odil instantly recalled him saying, ‘My Noona!’ whereas he was telling some story.

And Odil additionally realized the truth that Ares and Damian had been secretly sneaking off like Regulus since a while in the past.

With an expressionless face, Odil raised one arm and sniffed. The second he did, he smelled the candy scent from that lady’s physique, who was rolling across the sheets along with him till daybreak. He seemed sideways at Ares subsequent to him.

“…Hiccup!”

Endlessly nervous, Ares hiccupped as he trembled visibly on the fierce gaze that was directed at him. Haha, Damian chuckled, although he was flustered by the sudden chill within the air.

“…Hyung, you didn’t know?”

“Regulus.”

“Sure?”

“Exit for a bit.”

“Huh? R-Actually? Proper now?”

“Sure. You don’t have to come back again later. Take your time and relaxation.”

In order that Odil’s ferociously distorted expression couldn’t be seen by Regulus, Odil rapidly despatched him out. Smiling awkwardly, Ares alternately checked out Odil and Endymion, who was ingesting his tea peacefully.

“Since when do you know.”

“Um…”

“Me and Al Hyung discovered final week. Eddy Hyung was the primary one to know.”

Damian spoke up from behind Ares whereas Ares couldn’t discuss correctly. Odil glared at Ares.

“Ares Fenril.”

“Aaaack! I’m sorry!”

“Don’t blame him an excessive amount of. His eyes, his nostril, even his head had turn out to be simply decorations. He had a tough time figuring it out as a result of he was simply sporting these for present.”

“Eddy… You’re being imply.”

“Endymion. You already discovered, however why didn’t you inform me.”

“It couldn’t be helped. She mentioned she by no means desires you to know, Odil.”

“That’s proper. I don’t learn about anybody else, however she mentioned that she completely doesn’t need to get caught by you, Odil Hyung.”

Whereas Endymion smiled as he spoke, Damian supported his assertion with a teasing voice. Odil’s eyebrows turned furrowed.

“That’s not sufficient of a cause. Is that this only a private matter? If I didn’t discover, you’d all have saved pretending to not know…”

“I might have carried out simply that, however I believed that she’d get caught quickly anyway after seeing what she did to you.”

“To be actual, I solely discovered because of Regulus. That’s the case with Ares, too. And also you, Odil.”

Ares, who wasn’t capable of acknowledge her when she was already proper in entrance of his eyes and even misunderstood, couldn’t reply to Endymion’s pointed phrases. Endymion and Damian didn’t even hear from anybody else, however they acknowledged her immediately, so it was comprehensible why Damian was saying this.

Nonetheless hesitating, Ares confronted Odil and spoke.

“I’m sorry I didn’t inform you, Odil.”

He didn’t say any excuses, simply that he was sorry. His eyes had been drooping, however seeing Odil’s stiff expression reminded him of their childhood after they used to argue quite a bit however rapidly reconciled.

Odil sighed and wordlessly hit Ares on the shoulder. Then, he checked out Endymion and Damian.

“Clarify every part from starting to finish.”

The three males glanced at one another for a second, every recalling Lily’s face as she begged them, ‘Please maintain it a secret from Sir Odil.’

However anyway, they may now not proceed hiding it anymore.
