Chapter 37: First and Second
“Alise.”
“Y-Yes?”
“Alise.”
I’m sure the old me never made this kind of expression before. I couldn’t put it into words, but I was filled with an unbearable itch and an atmosphere that made me restless.
This is strange. Julian-sama isn’t like this. He used to be more silent and mysterious. When he spoke, he had a blunt way of talking that made him seem like a puppet just moving along without any will.
Especially after entering the academy, he showed it more prominently. He had no interest in me whatsoever, yet he continued the engagement without opposing the queen. At that time, I took advantage of it.
“It’s not fair how you react like that just from being called by a nickname, Alise. It makes me want to see more of you.”
“Who are you, really!”
“Huh? What?”
I won’t be fooled even if he looks at me with those innocent and confused eyes.
As a firm expression of my intentions, I purse my lips, but because he has been calling my name so much right beside my ear, my face and body are just red, and the effect was nonexistent.
“What do you want to play today? I’ve been looking forward to this day when I can see you.”
——I don’t have time to spare for you.
Sitting on the garden terrace, I gazed at Julian-sama in front of me with a strange feeling.
His attitude, behavior, and even his tone of voice are all different from before, but this person is undoubtedly our country’s fourth prince, Julian Da Stratis.
As a fellow human being, why did he change so much? Is it because I have changed? If I change myself, my surroundings will naturally change too.
If the second life doesn’t necessarily follow the first life, then there is hope for me too.
As I stared intently at Julian-sama with my amber eyes, he stopped moving, looking happy to chat with me as if he was pulled in.
Surrounded by the lush green of early summer, we just looked into each other’s eyes.
“Julian-sama.”
“Yeah?”
“I will never forget the help you gave me.”
I couldn’t have thanked someone like this before.
Right now, I can’t resist the urge to express my overflowing feelings. When I smiled lightly, Julian-sama’s white cheeks turned slightly pink.
“W-What’s wrong? You suddenly became honest.”
“I just wanted to say it. Feelings won’t be conveyed if you don’t say them.”
Seeing the rare sight of Julian-sama being flustered, I had a satisfied expression on my face.
“You said it, didn’t you, Alise? Well then, from now on, I will also express my feelings without hesitation.”
“Eh…?”
“Because you told me, didn’t you?”
That smile is somehow very unpleasant. My superiority was destroyed in an instant.
“W-Well, I will go drink some cold water!”
Feeling that it’s not good to stay here like this, I hastily jumped off the bench and rushed away.
