The End of the Misunderstanding 

[BONUS]

"Leo, are we a couple?"

Ren, Leonel, and Ragnar all gaped at Isolde.

Leonel blinked before he answered with an unsure voice. "Y-yeah?"

If he said no, he might hurt Isolde's feelings, and her family would come after his throat. So it was better to say, 'yes.'

Though Leonel was baffled as to why Isolde was asking that question, he still replied, "Why do you ask?" He thought that she already knew. Didn't she like him?

It was Isolde's turn to gape. "Egh? We are?"

Did Leonel like her and spread that they were dating? Did he even court her? Isolde couldn't remember. But instead of feeling angry that Leonel might have spread that they were dating because he liked her, she only felt her heart racing.

Before her face then went serious. "Leo . . . I like you. But I have to be honest . . . I don't like you that way. I'm sorry . . ."

Ren and Ragnar's mouth dropped.

Leonel, on the other hand, was stunned. "W-wait . . . you don't like me that way?"
