Throughout the banquet, Kalix couldnt take his eyes off Lelia.
There was no exception even when Carius ca and took Lelia and Kalix to greet the vassals.
Carius was very proud to introduce Kalix.
Lelia was confused when she saw Kalix, who had suddenly beco softer.
Whats wrong with you? Does it hurt sowhere? Are you trying to show signs of seizures?
He may be asking for dicine because he has finished taking it. Thats why she stared at him with a sudden glow in her eyes.
Then you two can talk.
Carius took Lelia and Kalix to the terrace and pushed them in.
Lelia looked at the closed curtain and imdiately asked Kalix.
Are you sick? Can I get you so dicine?
But Kalix grabbed Lelias arm without saying a word.
His stare
His eyes were strange. It was a look of great determination, as if to trust only her.
[What, what]
She couldnt figure out what Kalix was thinking.
What the hell is this?
Sir Kalix?
Dont worry.
What?
Im sorry Im being so narrow-minded. Now dont worry, Ill I an, I an
Ill protect your secret!
Lelia closed her eyes tightly.
[What are you even saying?]
Especially to soone whos made a huge decision to confess a secret.
Dont worry, huh? Just trust . Youve always trusted .
Yes, well, of course
Yeah, yeah. Whats wrong with dressing up as a woman? Its common anyway, isnt it? Like a man dressed up as a woman!
What?
No, I am! So dont worry. Yeah, I understand. Now I understand you.
Kalix spoke gibberish, but nodded to himself speaking as he was so determined to do so.
Lets just let it go.
Lelia thought and changed her mind.
Make sure to bring your friends with you later. Into the main garden outside, all right?
Uh, okay.
When Kalix answered roughly to Lelias question, she stepped out of the terrace.
Uncle Carius, who was guarding the front of the terrace, asked why she had already co out, but Lelia shook her head and headed toward her grandmother.
***
By the ti the banquet was about to end, Lelia opened the nu to confirm that the inspection was completed.
Large update is imminent! The inspection will be completed soon. Im sorry for the inconvenience.
Scheduled ti for inspection: 10:10 p.m.
Please look forward to the special pension lottery that will be even more refreshing!*(*)*]
Far from the inspection being finished, the ti was even extended. She clenched her fist and controlled her anger.
[Co to think of it]
Lelia left the banquet hall and headed for the place. Entering the small central garden inside that she told Kalix about, she saw four people waiting for her.
Fortunately, Kalix seed to have delivered her words well.
Each of the four people sat or stood far apart.
Their eyes gathered as Lelia approached.
Why did you ask us to get together? Do you want to play captain?
Roo asked playfully. Lelias expression hardened.
Last ti too, Roo spoke as if he knew everything.
Lelia slowly opened her mouth.
I have sothing to tell you. I an its
She hesitated because she didnt know how to open her mouth and tell them. She closed her eyes.
Im actually an alchemist.
Ha. No wonder. But how can you have this power I dont know?
Roo answered straight away and tilted his head. He thought that ssage from the last ti was done by Lelia, too.
Contrary to expectations of a huge response, their reaction was minimal.
Roo was the only one who was amazed, and the rest honestly didnt seem interested.
Lelia was sowhat despondent and just blinked.
And the fact that Im here treated like family
As she opened her mouth to continue speaking, Roo got up from the bench and approached.
Lelia.
Yes.
You rember what I told you, right? You dont have to explain anything.
Its
Were not gonna ask you anything. We wont have any questions.
I dont know why, but Im sure youll tell when the ti cos.
Lelia looked at Roo, confused and smiling.
[What are you talking about?]
In the midst of the hecticness, Griffith and Oscar also ca towards her.
They didnt say anything, they just looked at each other.
Only then did Lelia understand what Roo had just said.
Not only Oscar, but Roo and Griffith also noticed everything.
He even seed to know that Lelia was a family mber of the Superion family. He must have felt it instinctively.
Thanks to Roos eyes.
In an instant, her eyes filled with tears.
Sigh
Lelia breathed low and bowed her head. Tears welled up quickly and fell to the floor.
Roo put his hand over Lelias head and murmured softly so that she could only hear it.
Im afraid soones the crybaby.
[T/N: Do you all rember this? Roo once said this when they were kids :)]
Lelia seed to be filled with grief at the consideration of her friends. She couldnt stop crying.
An inexplicable apology.
But her friends understand her.
[Thank you for recognizing .]
Emotions rose with various complications in her mind.
Hey.
At that ti, Kalix, who looked more serious than anyone else, approached.
Lelia slowly raised her head.
[So So what about Kalix?]
Why are you crying?
Kalix made a big frown. Then he looked at Roo, Griffith and Oscar.
What are you doing? Why are you making him cry?
What are you saying? Roo looked at him annoyingly, but Kalix didnt care.
Kalix patted Lelia on the back and comforted her. Oscars eyes persistently looked at the hands patting Lelia.
Hey, dont cry. Theyre not going to say anything. Dressing up as a woman isnt a bad thing.
[T/N: Im so done!!! T_T]
Lelia suddenly felt like her tears were drying up.
[No]
Dont be discouraged! Who wants to cry? Whats wrong with a man dressing as a woman? Hey, dont ignore him or spread the word that hes a cross-dressing man. Im not going to let you down. Ill just use my sword to Do you understand?
Oscar, Griffith, and Roo. The three turned their heads as if they hadnt seen Kalix at all.
Roo, in particular, turned back and walked to the bench, patting his chest.
Lelia looked at her friends in bewildernt.
[No, you guys Why did you just notice and not tell him? What about ?!]
In the anti, Kalix looked at Lelia and handed her his cravat as if to use as her handkerchief.
Well, Sir Kalix. I think theres a misunderstanding. Im actually
Kalix raised his finger up and took it to Lelias lips. Then he pushed lightly.
You dont have to tell . I will keep your secret. Your grandmother will get well soon, too, so dont worry. You have your brothers with you.
No, thats not it. Actually, I have a confession to tell you
Oh, I already told you. Thats it, man! Now get out of here! Go away!
Kalix turned nervously. Then he strode toward the place.
Lelia looked at Oscar with her eyes, telling him to do sothing.
Oscar suddenly approached and rubbed Lelias lips, where Kalixs finges touched, with his thumb.
What are you doing?
After rubbing her lips with his thumb, he turned his head without saying a word. Lelia was dumbfounded and couldnt speak.
Turning to Griffith, he only glared at Oscar with frightening eyes.
Lelia eventually looked at Roo.
[Yeah youre the only one who can help , arent you, Roo? Youve been like that since you were a kid.]
Roo, who t the gaze head-on, scratched his forehead as if he was in trouble.
Lets just let it go.
But how could you possibly leave such a misunderstanding
Roo waved his hands.
You know hes always like that anyway. He believes in what he wants to believe and sees what he wants to see. How can I break that stubbornness? Hell find out slowly.
Lelia sighed.
[Ive revealed that Im an alchemist, but He did not even say anything important.]
[I need to talk about the cure for Kalix.]
By the way, how do you use alchemy when you dont have magic, and you dont feel the sa way? Let know.
Roo asked, Do you need anything else? with his eyes sparkling with academic curiosity.
Lelia looked at Roo as if he were being cheeky and just turned away.
When she walked away like that, Oscar and Griffiths eyes caught fire in an instant.
Do you want to talk to ?
When Griffith asked, Oscar blinked slowly. The red eyes looked alive.
The two n were about to point their swords at each other.
No, hey, are you fighting again? All of a sudden? Why?
Roo jumped and stopped the two.
He took the two to the banquet hall, saying, Lets not do this but drink.
Not knowing what was going to happen in Kalixs room after a while.
***
anwhile, as she was about to go back, she paused and retreated.
Perhaps Kalix was in an odd state of mind. She felt like she had to try again to confess the truth.
Knock, knock
She thought of going inside his room. There was no sound coming from inside.
Lelia, who had been agonizing, finally opened the door and went in.
Squeak.
When she opened the door slightly, she saw a dark interior.
He didnt co to the room? Or are you sleeping?
At that ti, she suddenly had a scary thought.
The idea that Kalix might have a seizure like last ti and be sick alone in the dark.
So she went inside, closed the door, and carefully looked inside.
Sir Kalix?
