Elena cautiously called out his name as he approached her.
Then, Lexion’s eyes squinted nicely.
“Sister, I wanted to see you.”
He was so pretty that Elena almost drooled.
And Ker couldn’t keep his mouth shut at the scene unfolding before his eyes.
‘My master, who I thought was an unfeeling human, was smiling at the woman.’
It was also very bright.
They swept the battlefield together for seven years, and it was an expression he had never seen before.
Ker had never even seen him display a small grin, let alone a huge smile.
Fortunately, there were a few times when he could see the change in his expression.
That was when he looked at the necklace, which appeared to be given to his master by a very precious person.
At that time, his master had such a look as if he missed someone.
Although he did not express it outwardly, it was clear that he was drawing strength from the necklace that the person had given to him.
‘Is it that person before him?’
Probably right.
Because the master – who looked down on everyone – was exploiting his title and wasn’t respecting others.
It was certain.
‘By the way, she’s a very beautiful lady…’
Ker gazed at the woman who his master had approached as if he was possessed.
That woman was as beautiful as his master.
Red hair that reached her waist and bright blue eyes.
The bright features on her small face were likened to a rose in full bloom.
Although she was wearing a comfortable shirt and pants, her beauty could not be hidden.
Besides, standing beside his master, they looked like a picture-perfect couple.
‘Is that the master’s hidden lover?’
Ker had not heard from his master regarding his family or lovers in seven years.
However, it was only a guess, looking at the magic crystal necklace that was obviously made by a wizard.
Moreover, the overjoyed expression on his Master Lexion, who seemed to have everything in the world, made that speculation true.
‘But I think she was surprised too. Besides, he called her sister…’
It seemed too affectionate to be called a family.
Also, he knew that his master only had an older brother.
‘Then, a lover…!’
Ker felt his heart skip a beat for some reason.
Observing the pair, he felt a sudden thrill inside him.
‘What should I do?!’
Ker’s cheeks were flushed and felt a vicarious satisfaction.
Elena, who was just looking up at Lexion, opened her mouth awkwardly.
“Uh… Lexion, it’s been a while.”
“Yes, sister. It’s been 7 years.”
“But what did you come to the tower for?”
Elena asked, hiding her awkwardness.
She was genuinely curious. What reason did Lexion have to visit the tower, especially when he should be busy at this period?
Then Lexion still smiled beautifully and answered.
“Of course, I came to see you.”
At his answer, Elena only thought that her heart stopped for an instant.
‘It’s a sin to say things like that with that face…!’
As she struggled to calm her pounding heart.
The two wizards standing near her were also taken aback for a moment.
Hugh and Jeremy wondered if the Lexion Halos standing in front of them was the Lexion Halos he knew.
‘I’ve heard rumors that he’s a battlefield monster…?’
Hugh swallowed his saliva.
Jeremy, who was standing next to him, pondered for a moment on what to do with this situation.
‘I don’t think he visited the tower to buy something, so I don’t need to report it to the Archmage. Besides, he’s the Duke of Halos, so there’s no need to send him back right away.’
Then Jeremy walked over to the two and said with a friendly face.
“You two go to the drawing room and take your time while you catch up.”
****
Elena followed Jeremy’s suggestion and went to the drawing room because it seemed like a nuisance to keep talking at the entrance.
The old-fashioned drawing room wasn’t as spacious as her old room in the Halos estate.
Elena and Lexion sat down with a table between them.
She drank the tea Jeremy had brought.
But the problem was, she didn’t know if the tea went through the nose or the mouth.
The Lexion sitting before her was so handsome.
‘Shit. How can a person be this ravishing…?’
To the point of swearing.
The restrained movement while drinking the tea, and the smiling face when their eyes meet from time to time.
It felt as if the statue made by God came to life.
Elena even wondered if this was enough for the world to step out and protect this beauty.
‘But you came to see me….’
Why?
She did not understand it.
It was true that the two were quite close back when they were young. But with time passing, she thought that they would naturally become estranged.
‘But you came all the way to the tower to see me…’
