Irina followed and smiled widely.
Thats a good thing. Im glad to see my lady smiling. Now, its ti to take your dicine.
Urk.
Nausea started creeping up in my mouth.
Instead of putting on my pajamas, I ran into the bedroom connected to the dressing room.
Running away is useless, my lady!
I unintentionally played tag with Irina.
But in the end, Irina was the winner.
I drank all sorts of tasteless, bitter-based supplents, and fell on my bed. Since then, Ive been rolling back and forth on my bed and eating chocolates.
Irina suggested that I should try embroidering if Im bored, but I cut her off and shook my head. I was actually the type of person who couldnt even put a thread into the needle hole.
That night I had a strange dream.
In my dream, I was with Adele and were leaning against rocks, with the yellow sky, a valley with silvery streams, and pink hydrangeas in full bloom as our backdrop.
Adele wore a slightly clinging white shirt and navy pants, and the hard, smooth lines that are visible in his clothes made nervous.
It seems like hes exercising regularly.
His hair, whichs being poured in sunlight, looked incredibly soft, and the fresh smile on his painting-like face struck my heart at random.
I was thinking about that when Adele raised his hand, then carefully wrapped my cheek.
I watched Adele as he opened his mouth and spoke clearly.
[Anastasia, shall we kiss?]
It was a very sweet voice.
There was a lot of unhidden affection.
[Actually, I couldnt bear it anymore because youre so lovely.]
S-stop!
I struggled to wake up from my dream.
I tried prying my eyes open and biting my tongue worked, and fortunately, I succeeded in waking up before Adeles lips touched mine.
I got up and gasped.
Hakhah.hah What kind of a dream was that?!
My face is burning.
Why the heck am I so frustrated? Is it because the dream is too vivid?!
I bit my nails and sat on the bed. This makes it seem like I have so sort of lingering feelings towards him.
No! Im ready to hand Adele to Olga anyti!
.seriously.
The gentle light of the dawn gently lit my bedroom. Of course, it was impossible to fall asleep again.
How annoying What do I know about the destiny that begins with my death?
I murmured in a sullen voice.
Did you wake up, my lady? The master sent a letter.
By the ti it had been almost an hour since I woke up, and I began to take out and look at any book to avoid unnecessary thoughts, Irina ca in with a letter.
Anastasias family is now my family, so I quickly snatched the letter.
The envelope was rather crumpled, as if it had crossed the sea.
A smile naturally ca out.
The ti I spent with this family was short, but they generously loved .
Count Sinclair was a playful man to his children, and my mother, the Countess, seed strict but was clumsy in reality.
My brother always made fun of and was often scolded by my parents.
Anastasias family was extrely ordinary, unlike other aristocratic families who valued external images.
Thats why, I have no idea why the original Anastasia, who was consistent with her blunt attitude, was unhappy.
I wanted my family to have less lingering feelings and regrets, and it was my first ti receiving such affection, so I tried to be as friendly as possible.
I carefully opened the envelope and opened the letterhead.
The content was relatively short.
I was surprised that Adele was ntioned in the postscript.
Suddenly, the voice I heard in my dream ca to my mind.
Anastasia, shall we kiss?
Wait a minute, why am I feeling like this?!
What should I do? Why is it just ?
.should I just break it?
It was quite unfair to just let it pass.
This makes feel like I have a crush on Adele.
N-no not at all!
I just think Adele is handso!
They just feel a little frustrated. I an, he always does things that make burst but I also cant help but think of it as cute
Thats why I need to be demanding
Why is your expression like that, Miss?
Irina gave a very worried look.
I decided to take second revenge on Adele.
I felt like I had beco a bad person who covets another persons n. But hes an unattainable person so its making feel that this is all unfair!
Irina, can you put so makeup on ?
My maid opened her eyes widely.
Youre already a heavenly beauty, is it necessary?
You shouldnt know it.
Just a little favor, please.
I gave Irina a soft smile, and Irina, who fell for that smile, started decorating , starting with her usual brow trimming.
The process of pulling up my eyelashes and painting my lips took longer than I expected.
While Irina was doing makeup, Marin did my hair on another side.
My hair was fixed with a large seashell hair ornant.
My hair curls very easily, so Marine finished styling it in no ti.
I put on a fluffy indoor dress and waited for Adele. It was a perfect outfit for tea ti.
Although the orange chiffon dress did not have any pattern or decoration on it, it fluttered every ti I moved, like petals.
Adele visited at the sa ti as yesterday.
I called Adele to the terrace.
Welco, Adele.
He seed to be stuck in front of the terrace for a while, but after so ti, he finally greeted back with a smile like a piece of cloud in the hot July sky.
Good afternoon, Anastasia.
I liked Adeles gaze at .
It wasnt blatant at all, and he was definitely looking at longer than usual.
I spoke to Adele in an excited voice.
I asked the chef to make ginger cookies that you like. Ill be delighted if you eat them deliciously.
Adele answered in a polite tone.
You dont have to do that. Just seeing Anastasias lively face is enough for . But, Im grateful for the favor youve given today.
Adele sat across from . The tea table wasnt big, so we could keep a moderate distance.
I waited until Adele was about to pick up the cookie, then I stretched out my hand naturally, keeping my gaze in on him.
My fingers and Adeles fingertips touched.
Ah
When I pretended to be surprised, Adele hurriedly withdrew his hand.
That was rude of . Please eat first.
No. You eat first.
I laughed lightly. If it was soone else, they would have imdiately noticed my ill intentions, but I was confident that hell remain oblivious about it.
Since my confidence boosted up, I decided to be a bit more aggressive.
Adeles hands are very pretty. Can I hold it?
My hands are hard and rough, but if thats what you want.
Adele innocently stretched out his hand and I put my palm on his hand.
I obviously have an ulterior motive but for so reason, I feel ticklish.
I wanted to make Adele uncomfortable and embarrassed but on the contrary, it seed like I was the one who was excited about this.
Your fingers are really longstraight and smooth.
I said honestly, without thinking; Adele smiled cautiously.
Im embarrassed. I train swordsmanship so I get calluses but they disappear quickly.
He was being humble when in fact he was actually a genius swordsman
I glanced at him.
What do you think of my hand?
Adele thought for a mont before he spoke.
Its smooth. It feels small and delicate. I feel anxious because it feels like it would break even with a little force.
I laughed.
I walked with you hand in hand yesterday but youre anxious now?
It was an impulsive act. Im reflecting on it. Even though Anastasia is my friend, I shouldnt have did it if it makes you uncomfortable. Anastasia probably did it because I reached out first. You probably regret it.
I tilted my head. Does my thoughts reach him by holding hands?
Regret? No, I actually liked it.
Adeles jewel-like red eyes shone with a mysterious glow.
Are you serious?
Thats right.
Then Adele paused and confessed.
I I also liked itwhen Anastasia was angry with .
Huh?
Other people are always generous at whenever I make mistakes. Maybe thats also why Ive beco more pompous. But you tried to correct my mistake. I am deeply grateful for that.
That was a very demoralizing remark.
Adele wasnt even conscious of at all.
It was no use wearing makeup, wearing a bright dress, or even making light physical contact. It was all useless.
Hes not looking at as a woman, he was treating like a human, like himself.
Suddenly, I felt like I was doused with cold water, so I pulled my hand back. Then I glared at him.
Adele.
Yes, Anastasia.
I snapped straight at Adele, who couldnt grasp the situation.
Youre annoying.
Adele apologized, not knowing what he had done wrong.
Im sorry. Did I make another mistake?
Heung!
Youre such a bad guy.
If that was the case, then I shouldnt have said that I like holding hands with you!
I was hoping for sothing!
Adele Magnus was thinking of Anastasia Sinclair of the past.
Adele, youre a nice person. But youre making things difficult for .
She told this to him with a weary face a month ago.
Anastasia cried often. She was pessimistic and said she had a foreboding that her death was coming.
Adele, as educated, tried to instill hope in her. However, her response was cold.
Anastasia took Adeles comfort as a mockery.
Thats why Adele tried to analyze all the words she had spoken to find out why he could not get a deeper understanding of her. However, it was too late.
I wish you were a mute*! I hope you dont say anything in front of ! You dont know my heart because you have everything! How miserable and desperate I am now, you! You dont understand anything!!
(t/n: theres a mistranslation of this sentence in the previous chapters that Ill correct when I have ti lols it says [dumb] rather than [mute]. I was confused because Anastasia used an idiom in this.)
Anastasia threw the vase at Adele.
It seed that the broken pieces of the vase that had shattered when it hit the wall represented Anastasias broken heart.
Im sorry, Anastasia.
That was the only word that ca out of his mouth.
Adele apologized until Anastasia got sick of it.
And that my friends, is the birth of psycho Adele. lololol
