She carefully unlocked her greaves, revealing the pair of fair, long legs hidden beneath the iron armor.
As she gently placed the greaves aside, she instinctively sniffed to see if any strange sll had escaped from the sealed armor.
It is well known that, aside from so idols or little fairies, a normal person's body sweats during training and needs to use the restroom, unlike the imagined fragrant aroma so might dream of.
Even when coming to see Kael, Elanna had already exerted all her limited dressing skills to clean her travel-worn self before arriving by Kael's side.
Although she didn't sll anything while removing her greaves, her petite finger would always twitch slightly with Kael's smiling gaze, feeling intensely embarrassed.
Such are the sentints of a girl; sotis she wants to be closer to him, but other tis she worries if being too close would make her unpleasant.
Kael rather enjoyed watching the girl show expressions he hadn't seen before, seeing the knight maiden feel shy because of him, it was indeed a delightful experience.
"Co over~"
Elanna whispered, lightly shaking her hand, beckoning him to lie down.
Kael leaned over, turned his body, and lay his head on Elanna's lap.
"You boys seem to like this gesture, lying on a girl's lap and such."
"Who knows? Sotis I hear girls like to lean over the boys too, but ultimately, it's not the act itself that everyone likes, but the person who does it, right?"
"True." Elanna slowly stroked Kael's hair, saying: "At this point, Kael, are you feeling a bit more at ease? Now that you're a Magic Monarch, even with top forces targeting you, you're no longer so flustered."
Kael turned to the side, wrapped his arms around Elanna's slender waist, and spoke softly: "I'm fine now, the rest is just waiting, and also, I'm quite displeased."
"Ah?" Elanna hesitated for a mont.
Kael jokingly said: "Rember when I gave you the Communication Crystal, hoping you would chat with , say safe and goodnight, even from thousands of miles away?"
Elanna a bit embarrassed, admitted: "Actually, that was for so other reasons."
Kael snorted and said: "What kind of reason could make my fiancée not even dare to use the Communication Crystal to contact ?"
"I worry that if you're not in the Mage Tower, using the Communication Crystal directly would significantly deplete your magic power, and if you encountered danger during that ti... I don't want such possibilities to occur.
Besides..."
For so reason, whenever Elanna is alone with Kael, she instinctively lowers her voice, as if afraid her louder voice would disturb soone else:
"If we contact more often... I'd miss you more, and then I wouldn't be able to accomplish what I need to do."
Kael: ...
He instinctively covered his eyes with his hand, unsure why he, usually thick-skinned and bold, felt a bit shy at this mont.
How did she manage to say this phrase so calmly!
Kael finally smiled and softly said: "So, shall we chat?"
Elanna: "Sure!"
Her voice rose in excitent, she instinctively reached out and grasped Kael's hand.
"Elanna, do you rember the celestial promise we made?"
Kael recalled the day Elanna first actively contacted him using the Communication Crystal.
That ti, he opened the window, looked toward the White Bone Christmas Tree, and said to her: "Elanna, can you see the sky from your room?"
Hearing Kael ntion this, Elanna too rembered the conversation she had with Kael that day.
...
Kael: "Elanna, can you see the sky from your room?"
Elanna: "The sky? Yes, I can."
Kael: "Can you see the Big Bear Star in the sky?"
Elanna looked up at the starry sky and said: "The Crown Star... ah, I see it."
Kael: "It's beautiful, right?"
Elanna: "Yes, indeed."
Kael: "The Crown Star is the most dazzling star in the Big Bear constellation, shining persistently throughout the year in the northern sky of the English Lance Federation, which is also where the saying [The crown of glory never falls, protecting humans through every long night] originates from.
Ah, also, the Guardian Hexagram beneath the Crown Star is a constellation we can see all year long."
Elanna: "Kael, do you like stars?"
Kael: "Not particularly, you know I have taken an astrology elective in the Secret Mage Academy, so I know a bit about these things.
But soone once told , 'The nitrogen in our veins, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, and the carbon in the food we consu all originate from stars scattered during the big bang.
