Slowly, Nora raised her face and Elias’ smile was all she could see. It was dazzlingly blinding and she wanted to tell him to refrain from smiling too much, but she could never say it out loud. If she did, things would probably turn for the worse.

“Um…”

“Yes?”

…You look so dashing when you tilt your head like that, so can you stop?

But she couldn’t say that aloud.

“It might be late to ask this now, but… What do you like about me?” It felt so embarrassing so she’s never tried to ask.

There was a mysterious look on Elias’ face as he gazed at her. “Everything.”

“Huh?” She blurted out without thinking as her brows furrowed.

Seeing Nora react like that, Elias smiled brighter.

“But perhaps you won’t understand… Hmm, let’s just say, I’m more than happy just to be with you.”

“Happy…” It seemed ambiguous enough, but it sounded like it was something amazing.

“It was the same when I first heard you sing. Your singing voice warmed my heart.”

Come to think of it, when they were little, Elias said he had gotten lost and Nora ended up singing to him to comfort him.

“But you don’t remember that, do you?”

“Um, well, I vaguely remember encountering a noble child who had gotten lost.”

She didn’t quite remember the child’s face, and it was even more impossible to recognize him after growing up. Considering that, Elias had an incredible memory.

“It’s fine. To you, I was probably just a lost child you had to take care of. But for me, the kindness you gave me warmed my heart.”

“T-Thank you.”

“And then, you were so straightforward and honest, it felt refreshing. After all, when you’re always surrounded by calculating people, wouldn’t it get tiring? That’s why… When I’m with you, I feel at peace.”

His smile made her feel a little vexed, but not in a bad way. She just felt like her heart was going to burst.

“I also like the color of your hair and eyes. It’s like the color of the night sky, but filled with so much warmth.”

“I see… It’s like how hugging a stuffed toy makes one feel relaxed, isn’t it?” Nora nodded in agreement, but Elias smiled wryly.

""

“It’s quite different from that.” He reached out his arms towards Nora, hugged her, and gently bumped his forehead against hers.

“I don’t do this with stuffed toys.”

“I-If you did something like that, everyone would be in uproar!” Her heart raced, and she tried to push him away, but she could only hear Elias laughing over her head.

“Your shy side is also adorable.” He then dropped a kiss on her cheeks.

She raised her face to complain, but couldn’t do it after seeing his dazzling smile up close, so she just hurriedly turned her face away.

“Didn’t you say you like my face?”

“I think you’re handsome, but…”

Elias was undoubtedly handsome. But she enjoyed looking at him from afar, not at such a close distance. That’s what she was trying to say, but she felt so embarrassed she was unable to finish saying so.

“Right, my face hasn’t changed, you were just indifferent at first.”

“Um, well…”

“It’s all right, I know… And it makes me quite happy.”

How could being indifferent make you happy? Could Elias… possibly have a masochistic streak?

Plagued with worry, Nora raised her face once more, and her eyes met his sky blue eyes.

“You don’t like me just because of my looks and status, right? That’s what makes me happy.”

—Smile. Direct Hit.

Nora hung her head down, almost breathless.

“I think you should be aware of how much destructive power your looks have.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

His pretty face could rival even the most beautiful of ladies, so she’d be in trouble if he didn’t try to tone it down.

“Then, you should also be aware of your charm as well.”

“Me?” Nora looked at him in disbelief.

“Charm? I have no such thing. I couldn’t even compare to the beauty of your fingernails, and I’m only an aristocrat in name. We’re so financially destitute, even a commoner merchant is more wealthy than us.”

She felt a twinge of sadness having to say that about herself, but it was the truth after all.

However, Elias slowly shook her head.

“That’s not true.”

“Then, were you referring to my talent for singing?” She replied seriously, but Elias heaved a sigh for some reason.

“You’ve got a lovely singing voice, but that’s not all. You’re also humble and quite charming.”

“I’m not humble. I’m just pragmatic.” She quickly corrected him.

Despite what she said about herself, Nora didn’t think she was particularly ugly. However, she wasn’t as elegant as Andrea, as gorgeous as Martina, as sexy as Rebecca, as powerful as Viola, or as pretty as Sophia.

In that regard, all the ladies she’s met were strikingly beautiful. But what’s worse was that, even amongst this flock of beautiful ladies, Elias was distinctly better-looking than all of them combined.

I quite pity all the ladies who make so much effort to dress up.

…It’s really quite a mystery why Elias would fall in love with her.
