Alma POV 15/17
-----
What a corny little boy! S-seriously… Why does he need to act like this? I can't believe it!
But… he did say his life has been filled with darkness, gloominess, and he even told later that he sotis didn't even find a reason to live. Perhaps his training is quite harsh back then. I don't know why but it seems that he might have experienced sothing similar to my brother…
I don't exactly know how many things he had gone through, but it's truly intriguing to to know more. I don't know why I am growing so interested in this stupid arranged husband…
"S-Sorry for what I did before, I shouldn't have acted so rashly… D-Did I scare you?" he sighed.
We were now moving back ho in a carriage, while Rose led the carriage.
I was mostly looking at the window because I feel embarrassed each ti I look at his face now. Since he confessed his love that it feels weird to look at him… Ugh.
"A bit! Honestly, you're really a pervert, aren't you? A big pervert!" I said angrily, I wanted to throw a tantrum and reprimand him for making so embarrassed.
"S-Sorry! I apologize… I shouldn't have been so rash!" he said, as he vowed down continuously.
"Geez… What am I going to do with you? You're really hopeless without , huh?" I asked.
"Eh?"
"You just said I am your sun! So it ans I bring colors to your life… So you can't live without , eh?" I asked with a cheeky smile.
Elred looked at while blushing, as he felt both scared and excited at the sa ti.
"Y-Yes…" he confessed.
"Oh well! Not like I can do anything over it! Y-You may stay at my side if you really like , I guess. I can't help to be so pretty and charming sotis, it just cos out naturally." I said.
"Ahh… Hehe… Yeah…" he said while giggling adorably, as he sat down and moved a bit closer to . He was around two centiters taller than , as he looked down at with a gentle smile.
"Thank you…"? he said.
"Oh?" I wondered.
"It was a nice date… I really enjoyed myself." He said.
"I-I am glad you enjoyed it… I enjoyed it too." I said.
"R-Really?" he asked.
"Of course!" I sighed.
I suddenly and without even being able to control myself, moved my hand to his, and held it.
W-Why am I doing this?!
"Uwah…! A-Alma… Y-You're giving your hand willingly…" he said while blushing.
"What's wrong? You do it all the ti! Can't I do it too?" I asked angrily.
"Y-You can! You can do it all you want…" he said, he looked hopelessly in love with .
"I don't know how to properly word it out, but… you've also beco a bit important to now. You can help get out of this cage of a castle I am living in, which really helps a lot! So make sure to always co here as much as you possibly can, okay?" I asked while furrowing my eyebrows.
"Y-Yes! I will co back as much as I can! Even if my big brother doesn't agree with it… Even if my stepmother doesn't want our arranged marriage to be fulfilled… I will continue coming here!" he said.
Does he have a big family drama? Now I feel a bit worried… Don't they get killed in these scenarios? Ugh… Now I am worried about this dork's safety.
But… he's strong. This "weak" and clumsy personality he shows to is his true self but seeing the life he had and the ways he had shown to be with others seems to indicate he had created a very cold outer layer of stone around his soft interior. He probably knows how to survive the royalty life way more than …
"Elred, is your family that awful?" I sighed.
"Eh? W-Well… A bit… T-There's my little brother… He's the only one that keeps up in there…" he said.
"Your little brother? Funny, my mom is about to give birth too, she's often in bed though…" I said.
"So you're going to be a big sister then!" he said.
"Yeah, we'll be similar then, hehe." I giggled.
"A-And my brother's na is Aran… He's only two years old… Our mother… W-Well… Our mother passed away after giving birth to him… Father blas him because he thinks he killed our mother… But I think that's not the case! My brother was only brought to the world by the sacrifice of his mother… she would never bla him for that… She… She would never…" he muttered. Elred suddenly got more and more sorrowful, as he looked into the floor and fell in silence.
A cold atmosphere slowly began to rise, as if his magic went out of control when these dark emotions took over his mind. I looked into his eyes, and he seed to have suddenly lost all the brightness and light he usually shows to . I felt bad…
Poor kid, what has he gone through? Compared to , perhaps… I haven't gone through half of what he has gone through…
But it was getting very cold, I might end up catching a cold…
"E-Elred?" I asked.
"AH! S-Sorry…! I-I didn't an to get so gloomy out of the sudden!" he said, as I woke him up from his daze.
"It's fine… We all… got things we don't want to rember because it makes us feel bad, right?" I sighed. As I took away my hand from him.
"Ah… Yeah…" he sighed.
And then, I extended my arms around him and hugged him, my face only reached his chest.
"Uwah?!"
He got imdiately red like a tomato.
I hugged him and he had the scent of floral cologne.
"A nice hug always makes you feel better, right?" I asked as I let him go.
"A-Alma…!" he muttered, growing redder and redder until a lot of steam ca out of his mouth and he passed out…
Oops?
