Episode 234: Ilayna’s Confession

Ten days have already passed since we left Holem, the capital of the Kingdom of Hermoa.

The carriage we boarded crossed the border of the Eckhardt Empire and was heading to the capital, Delesson.

“…”

I let out a soft sigh.

Those were the days when I realized once again that spending two whole weeks outside was not something people would do as much as I thought. This is why you definitely need a house to live in.

Thanks to continuing to run without stopping, we were able to reach an inn in a small village around sunset.

The postal department employee who came with us in the carriage urged us on our way, saying he would inform us of our arrival.

I asked the innkeeper to give me two rooms. One was the room the coachman used, and the other was the room I and Ilayna used.

I’m used to it now, but even on the first night when I left for the Kingdom of Hermoa, I tried to use a separate room. However,

“I have to share a room to assist the secretary.”

Because of Reyna’s strong attitude of hers, she could no longer ask to share a separate room. Well, it would be more convenient for Elayna to stick close to protect me.

We had dinner at the restaurant on the first floor of the inn. After we finished eating, I ordered Ileina and the driver to do their own thing.

“Yes. I will do so.”

The coachman who answered first bowed to me and then stood up.

He’ll probably take care of the horse’s fodder and go check the carriage.

I turned her head towards Ilaina, who was sitting next to her. She seemed to feel my gaze and met her eyes.

“Ilaina, what about you?”

“I’ll take a look around one more time.”

Only then did she stand up from her chair.

“What are you going to do, Secretary?”

“I’ll just take a bath.”

“Yes. “I will be waiting in the room.”

She bowed her back towards me. Then he walked out of the inn with great strides. I headed to her bathroom only after making sure she had completely left her restaurant.

When I returned to the room after taking a hot bath, Ilaina was already waiting in the room. It seemed like he was waiting for me to come back after he finished exploring the surroundings.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“No. “I just did what I had to do as an escort.”

She answered in a very matter-of-fact tone. Well, from Ilayna’s perspective, it would be like that.

Still, I was very thankful that I was able to sleep comfortably outside of her.

“Still, I’m always grateful.”

When I expressed my gratitude again, Ilaina twitched her eyebrows as if she was surprised. I laughed lightly when I saw that.

“Good night, Ilaina.”

I blew out the candle and immediately jumped onto the bed.

“Secretary.”

However, Ilayna, who would normally have responded with a good night greeting, suddenly took on a serious tone.

“Why?”

“If… Would you mind for a moment?”

It’s rare to see Ilayna look like this.

Feeling curious, I immediately raised my upper body.

“Do you have something to tell me?”

“Yes…”

Her room was dark, but the moonlight coming through her window softly illuminated her face.

Her Her Her pure white skin Her Her Her sparkled a little more because it was bathed in moonlight. The blue eyes staring straight at me seemed to have a nervous look today.

I waited until she opened her mouth.

“…”

“…”

For some reason, the atmosphere seemed to become increasingly strange.

“Secretary Luke Nedville.”

Calling me by my full name… This really wasn’t normal.

Thanks to you, I also swallowed my dry saliva.

Soon, the sound of footsteps on the floor was heard. Ileina was narrowing the distance between herself and me, little by little.

“Ileina?”

Even when I called, she didn’t answer. I was dumbfounded by the situation being different from usual.

Meanwhile, Ilaina stopped right in front of the bed.

“How dare you risk being rude… ” … Let me tell you…”

The end of his voice her was trembling. I looked at her face with blank eyes.

Small lips open and close several times.

And Ilayna let out a beautiful voice.

“Secretary. I am… I like the secretary… I’m embracing it…”

“Huh?”

… What did I hear?

I was dazed and only blinked my eyelids.

But one thing was clear. Ilaina’s cheeks turned red in the moonlight.

“…”

“…”

There was silence between us. It felt like I went back to when I first met her.

“Hey, Ilaina?”

“Yes…”

Ilaina’s voice was trembling more than before.

“So, to me…” ” … “You confessed, right?”

I asked her again out of curiosity, and she gave her answer by moving her head.

Oh my goodness, days like this happen in life…

To be honest, I never even thought about the possibility that Ileina would suddenly express her feelings to me.

That’s why I was embarrassed by this situation.

‘What should I do?’

Should I postpone my answer until later like I did when I confessed to Flora last time?

“…”

The silence continued. Il Reina stood still in front of me with her eyes slightly lowered. It seems as if she is waiting for an answer.

“Ilaina. “Can I answer right now?”

“!”

As soon as I finished my question, she shook her shoulders.

You are probably very nervous right now. Because even I, who was about to answer, was very nervous at this moment.

“I am…”

* * *

‘I committed it.’

Immediately after confessing to Luke, that was the only thought in Ilayna’s mind.

During that time traveling between the Kingdom of Hermoa, Ilayna did her best to appeal to Luke in her own way.

But she also knew that there was a big wall between her and her secretary.

If the secretary is a person who lives in a place as bright as the sun, she is a person who is more suited to the dark back alleys.

The difference in her birth was something that could not be easily overcome.

I had already realized that this feeling was profane. However, she could not kill her heart with her own strength her her her her.

While she was hesitating about what to do, her love for Luke grew to the point where she could no longer suppress it.

She had come to an awakening during this journey.

She said that it wasn’t enough to just appeal to Luke about her good side.

She eventually decided to risk her rudeness and knock on that wall herself first. Of course, she continued to worry for several days after that.

“…”

Now only Luke’s answer remained.

She was focusing all her attention on Luke’s lips.

“I am…”

Luke took his luck carefully,

“Yes.”

Il Raina had her mind all set. So that no matter what answer she receives, she will not be shaken.

… Of course, I would be really happy if Luke accepted my confession.

“I know you worked so hard for me.”

“…”

“Sorry. I don’t think I can accept her feelings.”

“…”

The moonlight coming through the window disappeared, and the room was filled with darkness.

Il Reyna closed her eyes once and then opened them.

Okay. In the end, this wall was insurmountable.

What she had vaguely known, she realized clearly. That’s it.

There was a very heavy silence in her room. Ileina only rolled her eyes as she examined Luke’s complexion. Because she had very bright night vision, she could read people’s facial expressions even in places where there was not a single light.

‘You’re looking sorry…’

Why is he like that?

It was I who was rude.

“Ilaina. Still, thank you for expressing your feelings honestly.”

Ilaina felt the kindness in his voice her her her her. Then her eyes suddenly started to get hot.

“I will stand guard outside.”

After barely finishing her sentence, she quickly put on her invisibility cloak and jumped out of her window. A guard should not have shed tears in front of the person being guarded.

She jumped over her fence in an instant and then ran forward. She had no destination in mind. She just ran as her legs her her she moved.

After running for a while, Ilaina reached a lake. She collapsed on the shore of the lake, causing her invisibility cloak to fall to her side.

But she didn’t even pay attention to it and just stared at the lake. The moon, emitting a soft light, was shining on the calm water.

Ilaina’s heart also calmed down. But there was nothing there that shined like the moon.

“…”

I didn’t feel angry or bad or anything like that at all.

She knew better than anyone else that there was a huge wall between herself and Secretary Luke.

But even if she knew, the feeling she felt when she saw it in front of her was indescribably devastating and sad.

“Huh…”

She clenches her molars to hold back her cries.

But once she started to burst out, her tears flowed down her cheeks without permission. It was no use sniffing her and trying to swallow her tears.

“Secretary Luke Nedville…”

Il Raina called out the name of the person she loved in her tearful voice. She then grabbed her chest.

Now she had to go back.

Throw away any romantic feelings that are unnecessary for the escort mission, and change the relationship between the escort and the object of security.

Ileina thought over and over again in her head, but her heart ached.

“It hurts…” … Mind…”

It hurts this much.

Il Reina lay down on the shore of the lake and sobbed for a long time.

As her tears poured out, she consoled her bitter heart.
