He Likes Me a Lot More Than I Thought!
Three pairs of different coloured eyes widened and stared at me.
I rolled my eyes and smiled vaguely.
In fact, it’s been a while since I decided that, but I kept forgetting to talk about it earlier since other things kept popping up.
It was out of the blue, but now was the best moment to bring it up.
The age for being an adult was 19 years old, so I’m all grown up and was taken care of by them for an extra two years.
I thought I shouldn’t stay in the duchy forever, so I worked hard to save money.
By working as the minister of the palace and saving my salary, I was able to build a small house on the outskirts of the capital in two years.
13 years has really changed a lot.
13 years ago, could I have imagined that I had my own house when I was 19?
The house was small and old, but it had good lighting. Moreover, it had a small yard where herbs grow and cats would occasionally come by.
It is the people in front of me who made it possible for me to achieve such fortune.
The pleasant thoughts brought a smile to my mouth.
“There was a lot of discourtesy.”
“…….”
“But thank you so much for taking care of me all this while.”
I bowed to each of them with sincerity, but their faces were still befuddled.
At that sight, the smile that had remained on my lips slowly disappeared.
In the awkward atmosphere, Derick, who had been gaping his mouth in confusion, spoke.
“Rwen, you……”
“We have arrived, my lord.”
His last words were interrupted by the voice coming from outside.
He let out a small sigh as the carriage slowly stopped.
“Let’s talk later. Rwen.”
That was truly the scariest thing I’ve ever heard from Derick.
If I was to be scolded, I wanted to get scolded first, but I got out of the carriage without saying anything since I was too sleepy.

We entered the largest hall of the academy, where the graduation ceremony was held.
Since the ceremony has yet to start, the students were all scattered around and spending time with their family and friends. Shuel was so large that he was found in no time.
The sight of Shuel with an aloof expression in his academy uniform was quite unusual.
When I saw the expressionless Shuel, I realised inwardly that he had a colder impression than I thought.
I laughed as I watched the cold impression instantly collapse from the act of his sister sneaking up and slapping him on the back.
Shuel, who was furious and wanted to grab Rieta by the collar, glanced our way and his face brightened.
“Mother. Father.”
The closer he approached, the more it felt as if a shadow was falling. Especially since I was the smallest.
“Rwen. Long time no see.”
“You……”
“Yes?”
“Really grew……”
In the end, those were the first words I said to Shuel, who was right in front of me.
Shuel smiled softly at my dazed murmur.
“Right?”
Smiling, Shuel reached out and hugged me tightly.
When we were young, I was slightly taller, but now I was completely embraced in Shuel’s arms.
“Hmm. I missed you, Rwen.”
A childish tone was heard. I smiled and patted him on the back.
He was big, but he still seemed so young.
“Good job,” I said while stroking his hair and a playful voice was heard behind me.
“Son, won’t you greet your father?”
“Me too.”
Only then did Shuel reluctantly release me and hugged his parents.
A bright smile appeared on the healthy young man.
Shuel, who graduated from the academy at the age of 20, is now an adult. I felt the time pass once again.
At that moment, a heavy bell was heard through the noisy hall. It was a bell that indicated the start of the graduation ceremony.
After the diplomas were already awarded to each student by the dean, only the last bit of the ceremony remained. Declaring the completion of the graduation.
Shuel was standing at the front as the student president. The sight reminded me of myself two years ago.
At that time, I was disappointed because I thought no one was coming, but when I saw Marie and Derick from afar, I smiled unconsciously that the dean even feigned a cough.
“I am proud of you who have been educated in the academy for 10 years. Be a great person who works hard for the kingdom.”
It was a short and concise congratulatory speech, just like it was two years ago.
As soon as the congratulatory speech was over, confetti cannons exploded with a bang and glitter poured down.
Shuel raised his head quietly under the confetti.
Then, someone wrapped their arms around his shoulder, and another patted his head.
Shuel smiled brightly in the middle of it.
Watching that scene, I approached Shuel with his family.
When Shuel, who was celebrating with his friends, saw us, he quickly approached us.
“Congratulations on your graduation, son.”
“Congratulations, Shuel.”
“Congrats.”
“Rieta.”
After Rieta, who was constantly poked, it was finally my turn.
I held out the flowerpot that I was holding to him.
“Congratulations on your graduation, Shuel. Now, you’re officially an adult.”
What I brought out was a pot of poinsettia.
It was not suitable for a graduation ceremony, easy to obtain, nor was it a bouquet.
But I really wanted to give this as a gift.
The flower language of Poinsettia is blessing. A blessing that people in this world didn’t know yet, and only I knew.
A bouquet would wither quickly, so I hoped that my blessing would last a long time.
Shuel happily accepted the flowerpot without any objection. His smiling face with his bulging cheeks was pretty.
The graduation ceremony was over, so the students began to leave the hall one by one. Marie, Derick and Rieta also began to leave.
I was about to follow them, but someone grabbed me.
I turned around and saw Shuel holding my sleeve with a flushed face.
“Wait.”
The colour of his cheeks was brighter than his eyes. A few strands of hair on his forehead were also soaked in sweat.
I looked at his forehead worriedly.
“You look sick. Are you okay?”
“……I’m fine. Rwen, I have something to say.”
“To who?”
“You.”
This kid, saying ‘you’ again.
I knew he wouldn’t call me ‘sister’ unless I was a relative since he came from a western background, but I get bothered by it sometimes because I had lived my previous life in an eastern country culture.
I faced him with a helpless face, thinking that I should let it go since it was his graduation day.
Shuel moved first, leaving only the bouquet of flowers Derick had given him and handed the rest to Rieta.
“Hey, Shuel!”
“Rieta. Please bear with me today. Okay?”
Naturally, Rieta’s temper was provoked, but Derick soothed her with a helpless face.
He hurried out of the hall along with his wife and daughter.
I tilted my head at the sight, but they had already left the hall.
“What are you going to talk about?”
Shuel smiled at my question and led me to stand in the middle of the hall. Even without candlelights, the sun shone in from the dome-shaped ceiling.
For a moment, I remembered the time back in the storage room.
The sun shone brightly in the dark area. The dust glistened like jewels. Shuel stood in the middle of it.
It was just like now.
In such a dark place, the sun shone, the air sparkled and Shuel standing in the middle was very beautiful.
He really didn’t change.
“Rwen.”
And at that moment, Shuel’s shaky voice was heard.
He smiled when our eyes met, but his hands still trembled.
“I, now a graduate of the academy, am an adult according to the Kingdom’s law.”
The statement made me tilt my head. It was odd to see him recite facts that I already knew.
Shuel laughed at my reaction. Small and shyly, like a blooming flower.
“And I still like you.”
It was a little different from Shuel’s daily confession. A little heavier, trembling and subtle.
What’s going on with you?
Before I could ask, Shuel knelt down on one knee.
This felt somewhat ominous.
What Shuel said later shattered everything around me. It was as though the pieces were lodged into the back of my head.
Shuel on his knees, and that bouquet.
Oh. God.
“Arwen Broschte.”
If you really exist, don’t do this to me.
He nervously searched the pocket of his jacket.
What he pulled out with his trembling hands was a small cube box.
Click. The box opened.
No.
tl/n: yes.
“Will you……”
No way.
tl/n: hell yes.
“Will you marry me?”
Inside the box was a ring.
An engagement ring studded with yellow diamonds.
This crazy……!
Shuel knelt in front of me, the sun shining down on him like a blessing.
A bouquet of sparkling roses, and a yellow diamond ring that shone even more.
“…….”
The entire world spun around. It seemed that my brain had given up on accepting anything further and went for the strike.
Shuel proposed to me.
