101 – Misalignment (8)

Outside, Erina was watching us. She was also hearing voices.

However, we couldn’t see us hidden in the blind spot.

As if Kyla was aware of that, she pressed her body deeper into hers. She knew that if not now, she wouldn’t have time to be alone with me.

In the meantime, I had no choice but to neglect Kayla because I was only concerned about Erina. She had no intention of neglecting her, but isn’t her body one?

Still, Kayla never complained. Rather, she just watched as if she understood everything.

However, in front of her eyes, she kissed Erina.

Even Kayla couldn’t have just watched. Knowing her heart, I couldn’t push her any further.

“I will always follow my lord.”

Behind the door, Erina was overhearing her voice. At first glance, it might sound like a normal conversation.

Normally, if Erina saw this scene, she would have drawn her sword right away. But she didn’t open the door and come in.

That meant that if he kissed Kayla now, it would be their secret.

Do you see Kayla as her colleague? Does she have a crush on her as a woman?

If Erina hadn’t been in this world. If only nothing stood in the way between Kayla and me.

What choice did I make now? Maybe he wouldn’t have accepted her heart.

I couldn’t concentrate on the conversation even though I continued to speak. If I brought my face a little closer, our lips would touch.

Kyla was also displaying great courage. Has she ever approached her so aggressively, who used to be demure and only adhered to her respectful attitude?

As I was hesitating, Kayla came over and whispered in my ear in a very small voice.

“I asked Celica to capture Erina-sama…”

Only then did I notice that the person outside the door had disappeared. Similarly, Celica’s weak voice could be heard through the crack in the door.

Maybe it was the only chance to kiss Kayla.

The choice was entirely up to me. Will you accept her heart or push her away?

“It’s okay even if it’s dark for a moment…”

“…”

“You don’t have to accept my feelings. It’s okay to think lightly. I just want to keep precious memories with my lord…”

To think lightly of kissing her. It was something that could not even be done as a joke.

With what kind of mind are you looking at me? What do you want me to do I knew everything.

If I threw her away like she was, I could have ended it as if nothing had happened.

But I made up my mind. I decided to keep Kayla by her side until the end.

He raised his hands and held Kayla’s face.

“Wow… !”

Soft lips met with a weak moan. As if her breath had stopped, Kayla leaned over me, her body frozen.

A few seconds of kissing. A very strong feeling ran through my head. A skinship made only by my doctor. It was completely different from Erina’s kiss.

“Kayla.”

“Yes…”

With a shaky sigh, Kayla met her eyes. Her hesitation just before kissing her melted away like her own snow.

“Thank you always.”

Only the first time was difficult, the second time was easy.

“Me, me too… Always… Thank you…”

In order not to be noticed by Erina, she continued to kiss her, interspersed with conversation.

“Please take good care of me in the future.”

“Yes, yes… ! Always by your side… I will protect…”

The ensuing kiss did not stop while blocking the leaking moans. I started first, but at some point, Kyla was also actively involved.

How much time has passed. At one point, we stopped kissing at the same time.

We knew each other. More than this was dangerous. If it continues, it won’t end with a kiss.

I held her dazed mind and carefully hugged Kayla. Her heart warmed as we overlapped her heated body.

“My lord…”

Kayla smiled with a melted face. Again, he came to my ear and whispered in a small voice.

“Did I… Be better than Erina-sama…?”

I couldn’t bear to answer. Neither Erina nor Kayla could compare the two.

I replied by stroking her hair. As I straightened her tousled hair, she calmed down.

Her shoulders went down, and the heat gradually cooled.

If I waited longer, Erina might get suspicious. After tidying her up, I made her bed.

Although it wasn’t for a long time, Kayla’s expression brightened as if she was satisfied enough.

“Kayla. I’m always thankful.”

Kayla shook her head with her happy smile.

“No. I am more grateful. I am happy that I can always stand by my lord’s side.”

She walked out the door without losing her smile until the very end.

After being left alone in the room for a while, she organized her complex thoughts.

I have already made an irreversible choice. It was impossible to knock out both Erina and Kayla.

As much as they couldn’t leave me, I didn’t want to leave them either.

I had to find a way for everyone to be happy, not anyone else.

“So, what happened?”

Celica swallowed her saliva with her tension. Her fears were full, but she couldn’t back down.

It was the first time I had ever met Erina face to face. The cold life she felt for the first time in her life carved fear into her heart.

But it was none other than Kayla. I couldn’t resist the request that I made with a voice that was more earnest than ever.

Of course, Celica didn’t call Erina without thinking.

“There is something I want to ask you.”

“What is it?”

“What does Erina-nim think of Seohyun-nim…?”

At Celica’s question, Erina firmly shut her mouth. She cast a suspicious look to find out what the question was for.

From Celica’s point of view, it was simply a topic to pass the time, but Erina took it infinitely seriously.

However, her lack of social skills made it impossible for her to find out what she was hiding behind her words.

That’s why Erina treated Celica in a familiar way.

“What do you mean?”

“Yes… ?”

Celica’s body stiffened. In her moderation she picked her subjects of conversation that might be of interest to her, never intending to offend her.

Fortunately, Celica was quick-witted. To avoid any misunderstanding, she hastily laid out her excuses.

“That’s because Erina-sama is always by Seohyun-nim’s side…”

“So.”

“So, I was wondering how the two of you fell in love…”

As expected, Erina looked at Celica with a complicated expression. She had never revealed her own affection to anyone.

Erina also vaguely knew. Celica had no romantic feelings for Seohyun. She regarded herself as a benefactor who helped her, but she was not affectionate.

Then wouldn’t it be okay if she told me a little bit about her inner thoughts?

“I like Seohyun.”

“Yes…”

“I like it the most in the world. Without Seohyun-nim, I have no reason to exist.”

After that, Erina started pouring out her feelings for her Seohyun.

“I want to be by your side always. I want to kill everyone else so they can’t even get close.”

Her feelings were difficult to define with only love and affection. It was too heavy and crooked.

Gradually, her voice began to fade into madness. Even the cool expression she had shown before had disappeared.

Celica listened to Erina’s words while holding her dazed mind.

“Above all, you know. Seohyun-nim is such a kind person.”

“Oh, yes!”

“It wasn’t enough to keep such a dirty b*tch alive, because you saved it too. Let’s live with gratitude for the rest of our lives.”

Celica’s heart grew heavier at the sight of her ruthless demeaning of her colleagues.

Celica seemed to know why Erina and Kayla were at odds. She thought it was a simple love affair, but she was more complicated than that.

Erina, Kayla, and Seohyun. The relationship between the three could not be easily expressed.

‘Seohyun-nim doesn’t trust Erina-nim at all.’

Upon hearing this for the first time, Celica was dubious. She couldn’t easily believe her words.

A lover who suits you better than anyone else. At least in Celica’s eyes, the two looked that way.

However, as Celica faced her true nature, the balance in her mind was gradually tilting.

‘Maybe…’

Celica needed reassurance. So, with her mind ready, she asked another question.

“Then, what do you think of Kayla-sama?”

“What… ?”

The atmosphere changed rapidly. A gigantic life force choked the air around it.

Celica faced Erina’s gaze squarely. She recited her prayers in her heart, earnestly praying that this time would pass quickly.
