nThe Baron immediately left the room half an hour later without being asked.

nAt least it was the most meaningful thing he had ever done in his life.

nCedric left the room and extended the reservation time.

nWhen he returned, Dalia was still sleeping with her eyes closed, supported by the cushion he had made.

nCedric sat next to her and slightly adjusted the cushion to fit her chin height.

nA strange sense of satisfaction that even himself could not understand filled his heart. He smiled unconsciously.

n“Sir Cedric hates every human being. But why do you like me?”

nTo say such a thing casually, she has no idea that he can’t help but like her.

n

n

nWilling to sacrifice herself even though she didn’t understand.

nAnd the fluttering gray hair and the little body.

nThe scene from that day is like a world that he’s never seen before, and he fell in love with it.

n‘You don’t understand.’

nEven now, he wanted to be alone with her, but she called someone else.

nHe quietly rested his chin on the desk, thinking mischievously.

nThe sun was setting. He decided to wait until Dalia woke up.

n* * *

nDalia only opened her eyes when the sun was setting.

n‘Gasp. How many hours did I sleep?’

nShe slept for at least two hours. How can she sleep this much while sitting down?

nBut strangely, she felt like she slept like a baby. For some reason, she still felt something soft supporting her chin.

nThinking that it was odd, Dalia lifted her head and pressed her hand against the spot where her head was.

nThere really was something in the air! Strangely soft like a bag of water…….

n‘Ah.’

nThe pockets burst and disappeared in the air.

nDalia looked around in surprise.

nThen she found Cedric reading a book next to her, where the sunlight came in.

nCedric’s hair was dyed red as the setting sunlight shone through the window, and his face was darkened by the shadows.

nHe said calmly as he turned the pages of the book.

n“It will explode if you stimulate it too much.”

n“Ah, ahh….”

nCedric made it.

nDalia somehow felt ashamed. She can’t believe that she was sleeping on a magic pillow made by someone else.

nThe class must have ended long ago, but he must have been unable to leave because of her.

n“You were drooling in your sleep.”

n“Oh.”

nDalia wiped her mouth in surprise. Cedric smiled as he closed the book.

n“It was a lie.”

nShe was deceived.

nShe pouted her cheeks with her mouth covered. He smiled and arranged the book and stood up.

nDalia’s mind went wild when she thought of him who had been waiting for her until late.

n“The Baron……?”

n“Already left.”

n“Ah……”

n“Did you call him because you were uncomfortable with me?”

nCedric asked with a nonchalant face.

nShe didn’t expect him to ask this right away. Dalia looked at his face nervously, not knowing what to do.

n“That’s……”

n“It’s okay.”

nIt was such a soft voice, as if comforting Dalia.

nCedric briefly stopped in front of Dalia, holding the book in his hand, and looked at her.

nDalia thought again, that he was really, really handsome from this angle.

nThe red color from the sunset just now and his splendid face were in perfect harmony.

n‘Don’t be fooled.’

nIs it because of the atmosphere or because she was half awake? It really felt like she was going to cross the river of no return.

nCedric’s eyes gently closed as he smiled. (*t

/n: damn that eye smile…i’m melting)

n“Instead, teach me yourself next time.”

nDalia nodded unconsciously.

nCedric smiled and nodded together.

n“Okay. See you next time, Dalia.”

nShut. After leaving only a brief greeting, the door closed.

nDalia sat absentmindedly for a long time in the place where he left.

nHer head was bursting with heat because of all kinds of thoughts running through her mind.

nHer soul that went out had no sign of returning.

nWhen she came to her senses, she was leaving the library, and when she came to her senses again, she was in the carriage, and when she came to her senses again, she was at the door of the mansion.

nHikan was waiting for Dalia with a worried look.

nLooking at his outfit, he must have just come back from the Knight Order. His uniform was clean, and there’s no signs of sweating, as if he just washed up.

nHikan grabbed her arm as soon as she got off the carriage.

n“Did anything happen? I’m sorry. That’s the only way I can think of…….”

nDalia nodded blankly.

nHikan quickly noticed something strange about her.

n“………Something did happen.”

nDalia awkwardly avoided his eyes.

n“N, no. Nothing…….”

n“That son of a b…….”

nHarsh words are about to come out of Hikan’s mouth,

nDalia’s bewildered look made him stop his words.

n“……sorry.”

nDalia shook her head to indicate that it was fine. Hikan hugged her shoulder and entered the mansion.

n* * *

nHikan didn’t ask more about what had happened, but there still seemed to be an ominous feeling.

nEven though he asked her to wash up, he didn’t know how to let Dalia go and kept hesitating as if he wanted to say something.

nDalia wanted to tell him what was going on, but somehow she was too ashamed to say anything.

n‘No, what am I ashamed of? Nothing happened, right?’

nShe thought so in her head, but somehow her heart didn’t.

n‘He tried to seduce me.’

nAnd Dalia was halfway over there and then back again. Including her past life, there are a lot of Dalia! (*t

/n: i don’t know this part huhu)

nThis is embarrassing.

nHe was so handsome and knew how to twist people around. Even though he is still that young, she cannot imagine what he would evolve into when he grew up a few years later.

nAt that time, even if they were together for five more minutes, she would be thinking, ‘Oh, maybe it’s okay to get engaged to someone like this?’

nIn particular, he was the number one person she needed to be cautious about.

n‘Besides.’

nDalia had a gloomy thought and lowered her eyes.

nThere’s one more reason to watch out for him. The reason why she should never fall for him.

nCedric ends up dead in every route of the original.

nAs if the original author strongly insists that he will never be included in the male lead route.

nCedric’s ending is always the same in every route, no matter which male lead route she takes.

nThe reasons are different for each route, but there is something in common with every death.

nEach time he dies alone quietly, without shedding any tears or begging for sympathy.

nNeither despairing nor depressed about dying, just as usual.

nMaybe even his own life, like everything else, meant nothing to him.

n‘Of course, Sir Cedric is telling me that he loves me right now.’

n

n

nAnyway, such a noble appearance played a part in increasing his fan base.

nBecause Dalia liked him too.

nMany of the original stories have changed.

nMaybe there will be no war and nobody will go crazy.

nCedric may also live in peace until the end.

nBut it was true that it was bothering her somehow.

n‘Yes, not Sir Cedric.’

nNo matter how good he treats Dalia and tries to charm her with his handsome face!

nShe will surely meet her long-lived husband and live happily ever after.

nShe was determined. She didn’t even realise that Hikan was watching her from the side.
