This Feeling Towards Him

Waking up from my sleep. Without knowing, I was on a horse with Ryan. My body feels heavy and speechless. I just stayed silent while riding the horse. Sometimes looking at my surrounding. Andreas rides the horse with Edgar, he also leads my horse with a rope. I've bothered everyone. But, where's Erwin? I don't see him?

"Ryan, where's Erwin?"

"He's gone early."

I felt disappointed for a moment. Thinking of being able to take one last look. I haven't thanks to him yet. Are we going to meet again?

"He didn't say anything when he left. What a strange prince."

"Hahaha.." Adeline laughed at his words.

Their journey was fast. Adeline was confused as to why they had arrived. It turned out that Adeline had been unconscious for two days.

"Thanks to you, we arrived even faster."

"Hah?"

Arriving at the capital, they entered the city in a hooded robe to the Stevenson mansion. At the mansion, we were greeted by servants and Andreas also ordered them to call a doctor.

Ryan even want to carried her into room. "I can walk alone."

"Is it true?"

Adeline descended slowly, but eventually fell. Ryan lost his temper. So he finally carried Adeline like a bride into her room. Towards her room led by the servants. Going down the hall. The servants who saw them were stunned by Ryan.

"Who is he?" Said them whispered.

Of course, he's quite a handsome guy. What do you think? Stop fantasizing, Adeline Von Lawrence.

"You'd better rest today. If you need anything, just tell us."

"Yes."

Ryan kiss my hand and left the room. The doctors came in simultaneously after Ryan came out. Since then, I have been in the room to rest and do nothing.

"Miss Adeline? May we ask you something?"

"Of course."

The three servant in Adeline room whispered. One of them asked with a sheepish face, courageously.

"What is the relationship between you and Mr. Ryan and Mr. Edgar?"

"Eh?"

My relationship with them? What should I say? The relationship between master and subordinates? Friend? Or something else?

"My..."

When Adeline wanted to answer her question. Andreas, Ryan, and Edgar knocked on the door. They want to come in.

"Can you go out for a moment? We want to do some business with Miss Adeline." Said Andreas.

"Yes sir."

Close the door and saw Adeline who was in bed. She moved to the edge of the bed. The three of them saluted and then expressed their greetings, except for Edgar who did not speak at all.

Looking at them, I can feel something strong. Strong is their trust in me.

"Thank you for three of you. We will realize a dream together. Please take care of me in the future."

"Very well, Miss Adeline."

Though I haven't heard all the reasons they followed me. I already believe in them. Do you believe me?

"Edgar, I'll tell you something. Don't let your identity as the last dragon get out of the way. I want you to be the average person."

Even though Edgar didn't say much. He understood Adeline words and then gave a kiss of honor on her hand.

"We'll start the next plan. I hope you're all ready to do it." Adeline gave a warm, wicked smile.

A few days later, it was widespread the return of Adeline and Andreas. Who had mysteriously disappeared. They bring in new people again. Making Ryan and Edgar became the talk of the royals. Andreas has never visited social class since then. They spend more time in the mansion without being disturbed by anyone.

"As if you are getting better, miss."

"Yes, Andreas. My body is better for training again."

Spend time adding new energy. Adeline continued practicing swordsmanship, until she was able to defeat the knights one by one.

Ryan only spends time in the library and Edgar just sticks with her everytime. Edgar slept with Adeline in the same room.

Just like a puppy. But it's okay, he's so cute.

Edgar closeness with Adeline certainly brings an unpleasant atmosphere to Andreas and Ryan. Sometimes they just followed the two of them to see what happened.

"Would you be okay if Edgar slept in the same room with you?" Andreas asked

"No, why? are you jealous?"

"It's not like that."

"Hm?" 

She decided to go back to her room, rest and get changed. Edgar tries to follow, but Andreas stops him by pulling his collar. The disappointed face was clearly like a begging puppy.

Walk down the hall to her room. Adeline accidentally runs into the library. Thinking of Ryan, she decided to see his situation for a moment.

Look for Ryan in the big library. Adeline almost circled the library looking for it. She was surprised when she felt the presence of someone behind her.

"Ryan..?"

"Miss? surprised?"

"Of course ... hm? You wear glasses?"

This is the first time I've seen him wearing glasses. He looks more mature than before. Does he feel comfortable being here?

"Then I'll go back to the room. See you tonight."

"Yes, miss."

Adeline came out of the library. Ryan removed his glasses and book on the table. "Again, I can't ask her."

At my room, I took off my headband and headed toward the window feeling the wind blowing. What is Erwin doing now? What about my parents?

Half of the plan has been executed smoothly. One thing that was disturbing was, the way I could go to war. My parents certainly did not accept it. The Crown Prince will join the battle too.

"Ha.. troublesome."

Turned around while taking off his training clothes. A bird came and froze at the window. The Crow are black and have red eyes. A letter tied to his feet and Adeline opened it. When she opened it. The crow flew away from her.

"Miss Lawrence? How are you? Are you all right? A few days ago we had a tense journey. But, all of that has passed smoothly. I have heard everything from Marquees Stevenson. Your situation is getting better and start activities as usual.

Thank goodness if you are all right. That's all I want to say, I hope we can meet again next time. If you need anything, feel free to tell me. I will try to help you. "

-Erwin De Estefan

The two-sheet letter. I read it with a flushed face while remembering him. Again, I remembered the past. During war, we often exchanged letters with birds in secret. Tears flowed from my eyes.

This feeling is still there with me. I thought it would disappear because, this opportunity has forgotten my feelings for him.

"Wanting to change everything is my reason. I don't know if you will have the same feelings as before. But, to you the Second Prince Erwin De Estefan ...."

Adeline closed the letter, tore it up and flew it out the window saying, "I love you, Erwin."
