crossfire (4)

It was a very strange joke that didn’t sound like a joke to be a joke.

It was because I heard the cold sound of Leonhard locking the door vividly in my ears.

“Leonhard… ?”

Yuria slowly called out to the golden-eyed boy beyond the door.

The back of my neck was tingling uncontrollably from the nervousness of the incomprehensible situation.

YuRia ran frantically and pulled the door.

However, it felt as if the door had already been locked, and there was only a rattling feeling.

“…what are you doing?”

Leonhard was silent for a moment at YuRia’s cautious question.

After an anxious time passed, all that was heard was a long, slow sigh.

Then came a horrifyingly low, kind voice.

“It is the safest there. majesty.”

safety?

“Safe, this is confinement!”

“It is to protect. It’s too dangerous outside. There are too many people aiming for Your Highness.”

“How do you know that? Maybe they’re the only ones crazy… .”

“I know. I. I’ve already checked a lot of things.”

Leonhard said as if to comfort Yuria.

“Do not worry. No one in this academy knows of the existence of this place. You can’t even recognize this room until you know it exists.”

YuRia felt her lips dry up as she listened to Leonhardt’s explanation.

Leonhardt’s voice was clearly so kind that his ears melted.

It was to the point that Yuria had never heard of it before.

If you listen to that voice without any content, you can think of it as stroking your lover’s head.

“So, now only I know where the senior is. In other words.”

YuRia swallowed her breath.

“It means perfectly safe.”

Leonhardt’s twisted logic made Yuria dizzy.

He could never have imagined that he could do this.

“This isn’t it. At least if you could explain… .”

“So you’re doing it now.”

Yuria was horrified to hear Leonhardt’s soft voice.

he was sure

The certainty that you will never be able to wake up.

“In the first place, just because I was explaining, would Her Highness have entered here on her own?”

that… .

Certainly not.

If forced into it, it would have rebelled. But is that normal?

“Your Highness shouldn’t do stupid things, so I did something a little rough.”

Leonhard made a sound as if he was thinking for a moment before he spoke.

“It doesn’t mean that I will continue to protect you here. I’ll be back soon. Until then, please stay calm.”

“When is that time?”

YuRia asked anxiously.

It was to give at least a moment’s rest to the nervousness that surged like waves.

“If things go well, I’ll be back soon. Trust me. I am Your Highness’s knight.”

Yuria swallowed dry saliva.

“If you still don’t believe me… .”

The next moment, there was a clank and the sound of a lock being unlocked. Leonhard opened the door very lightly.

Surprised by the unexpectedly easy opening of the door, YuRia stepped back.

Leonhardt curled the corners of his eyes at YuRia, as if asking why.

“Really. You don’t even want to, but I don’t intend to lock you up. majesty.”

Leonhardt smiled softly and walked in front of Yuria.

His complexion was still pale, but his leisurely gait was very graceful.

He carefully grabbed Yuria’s disheveled hair and brushed it.

That kind touch made Leonhardt, whom he had just tried to imprison casually, feel unrealistic.

“I can’t let you out of this room. However… . It’s to protect you.”

The softly folded golden eyes glowed softly, looking at YuRia with affectionate eyes.

When our eyes met, the tingling sensation in the back of my neck turned into heat and spread.

“Please understand.”

The hand that had been playing with Yuria’s hair gently came down and rubbed her cheek.

Leonhard’s words were very enticing. Just enough to go over and believe.

‘Okay… . Will it be okay?’

In fact, Leonhardt even opened the door again with his own hand.

Although he did some rough work, he was still his own knight.

In his own way, if he was giving it for himself, he wouldn’t do anything worse here.

“Leonhard, no matter how… .”

While answering, my heart felt strangely anxious and beat rapidly.

It felt like I had made the wrong choice.

“I will take good care of you. You should be able to come out soon anyway.”

Leonhardt spoke softly to Yuria and gave a languid smile.

His voice sounded like a gentle invitation, but to Yuria it felt like he was standing above her and giving orders.

How can a soft voice be felt in this way?

In YuRia’s head, the words she had heard from Leonhardt kept echoing.

I want to protect the weak. that it is lovely

Although it was clearly different from the way Yuria was aiming for, it somehow made her feel comfortable.

‘Wait, no.’

I am Yuria Rodmas.

gotta be strong You have to be strong. alone.

YuRia, who had managed to make up her mind, shook her head incredulously.

“Ha, but… . The dean might be able to help.”

Yuria actually believed that the dean would somehow solve this problem.

The only blood relative who is kind to him. Because there was someone I could rely on in a similar situation.

In addition, he was also the power of this academy.

“Ah, Duke Bradley Bruno… . He was Her Highness Yuria’s uncle.”

Leonhardt clicked his tongue slightly at those words.

“You may be able to help. But don’t expect too much. i think… . He doesn’t seem to be moving right now.”

It was a word that seemed to incite anxiety. But Leonhardt’s words were correct.

For some reason, his uncle was not moving. The academy wouldn’t have been so messed up if he wanted it. He might have been neglecting this situation.

The waves hit. When I thought I might have been betrayed by my uncle, I felt as if I was out on an uneasy, stormy sea.

Abandoned even by the only family that was kind to him not too long ago.

‘Then nobody… .’

No one is left with no family.

YuRia slightly staggered at the pain in her head.

Leonhard gently grabbed YuRia’s shoulder and supported her with a smile.

“Stay here. majesty. I will protect you.”

Leonhardt’s hand touched Yuria’s cheek as she exhaled unsteadily.

YuRia subconsciously leaned her head on the firm hand holding her cheek.

Little by little, I felt at ease. It felt as if his hand was comforting.

“Is that so?”

YuRia hesitated, then barely nodded.

okay. After all, Leonhardt was the one who swore to protect himself.

Could I get some help like this?

‘Because Leonhardt called me lovable.’

But there were also some concerns.

Libya. That girl is also in this room… Because it became something of him.

However, she was different from that indigo girl.

He came here to be protected.

Leonhardt wasn’t a scary face either.

A little relief spread over me when I thought about that.

Leonhardt was showing him the friendly gaze he had shown Nias.

For some reason, he made me feel a little special.

Yuria felt a strange sense of satisfaction and joy.

“Request… Can I?”

At YuRia’s words of reliance, Leonhard slightly folded the corners of his eyes and nodded like a crescent moon.

“It was for that.”

He bowed his head slightly. It was the direction of the face.

When their breaths reached the intertwining distance, Yuria instinctively closed her eyelids.

However, what Yuria had imagined did not happen.

Instead of a gentle kiss, he whispered in my ear in a low voice as if he had been soaked in water.

“I’ll be back.”

YuRia opened her eyes again with a hot face.

“Ah, yes.”

YuRia exhaled a long breath filled with emotion, whether it was relief or regret.

His breath was still in her ears.

“Go.”

While delicately tying the ends of YuRia’s hair, he really turned around.

“In case you don’t know, I’ll lock it so no one can come in.”

Leonhard put on the padlock while leaving such an ambiguous statement in a very caring voice.

Maybe if you have a close brother to yourself, that’s how it feels.

YuRia was a bit surprised at this feeling she felt for her younger sister, Leonhard.

‘Something is strange.’

Emotions that were different from before were about to bloom in Yuria.

Although Yuria didn’t know what it was yet.

As the sound of his footsteps receded, Yuria felt a little uneasy.

But it was he who decided to trust him.

‘So, I’m sure you’ll be fine. Let’s believe in Leonhard.’

YuRia thought about it over and over again as if brainwashing herself, and lay down on the bed.
