Chapter 13

•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•

The late morning sun steadily came in through the big window. The sand that filled the floor without gaps reflected in the sunlight, creating golden waves.

Sitting in front of the desk, Lilia buried her feet in the sand and played with her feet. Fine flour like sand scattered through her toes. The sand that filled the room was given by Heinley as a birthday present, and the texture was very good, so she spent a lot of time here.

Lilia, who was playing footsie, wrote down all the words that came to her mind on the paper spread out on her desk.

[Store, location, outfit, items, building]

She was worried because she hadn’t decided what kind of store to open yet. She was being careful because it was a store that would be built from her opinions from beginning to end.

“I think a restaurant is good too.”

There were several dress shops and prop shops, but restaurants were still on the grey side. Since that was the case, she wanted to challenge herself with something she had never done before.

Lilia moved her pen to write down the idea. The word restaurant was added to the paper. After deciding to set up a restaurant, she had to fill in the details.

There were many things to think about, such as what food to sell and how to attract a customer base. She wanted to open a dessert shop, but there were many decent dessert shops in the capital. The taste was basic, and she had to take advantage of the characteristics that could be differentiated from other stores.

“How about decorating it like a garden?”

Lilia closed her eyes and imagined it for a moment. A place where one could relax in a peaceful atmosphere. Not an ordinary garden. Something special……. For a moment the glass greenhouse flashed into her mind.

In the middle of the Bloden mansion garden was a large glass greenhouse. The glass greenhouse was a symbol of wealth and a luxury most people couldn’t even think of. However, it was so special that guests who visited the Bloden mansion saw the glass greenhouse and gave all kinds of praise.

Personally, Lilia also found the glass greenhouse attractive. It was fun to be able to appreciate the flowers regardless of the season, especially on a rainy day, as the rain poured from the sky.

Since there is no such store yet, she could make use of those characteristics. However, the construction and maintenance costs are no joke, so it will be a super luxury dessert store…….

[The scale of a 2-story, like a secret garden, reservation system?]

Lilia, who was writing words on paper, put down her pen for a while. It was because Karhan suddenly came to her mind while writing the draft.

—…. I like sweet things.

Lilia and Karhan had different tastes in food. Unlike herself, who likes meat, Karhan liked vegetables. If Lilia enjoyed a drink, such as black tea, Karhan preferred sweet and refreshing fruit drinks. Even in the case of alcohol, Karhan hardly touched it.

But if the two had one thing in common, they liked desserts. She remembered that Karhan ate three pieces of cake alone on her birthday.

Lilia let out a light sigh. Recently, while doing other things, Karhan suddenly pops up in her mind.

“Will he not come again today?”

Karhan’s visit had been cut off since her birthday. He contacted her, saying that he couldn’t come because of family circumstances, so she said she understood, but it took longer than expected.

They parted their ways awkwardly, but she was worried about what kind of face she should make as time went by. She should act like nothing happened, but…….

‘I’ll say something once I see his face.’

Thinking, Lilia got up from her seat. She was going to stop by the annex after a long time. When she arrived at the annex, she saw a familiar carriage standing in front of the front door. Recognizing Karhan’s carriage, Lilia stopped.

‘When did he come? Did he go to class now?’

Lilia, whose mind was complicated, tried to enter the annex. She heard footsteps not far away. Lilia, who stopped, raised her head and looked.

“…….”

Lilia and Karhan’s eyes met. The two looked at each other in silence. In the past, greetings would have naturally popped out, but for a moment, her mind was blank.

“Long time no see. Lilia.”

It was Karhan who greeted her first. It was natural to greet him back, but Lilia couldn’t say anything. Because Karhan was staring straight at her.

Obviously, not so long ago, Karhan used to just look away. She thought it would be the same this time, but he is now seeing her without shifting his gaze. Lilia, who belatedly came to her senses, spoke to him,

“I was surprised because I didn’t know you would come today. How long has it been since we’ve seen each other?”

“It’s been nine days.”

Karhan replied right away. As Lilia looked a little surprised, Karhan added quietly.

“It’s my first time seeing you since your birthday.”

Thinking of the day she tried to forget, Lilia bit the inside of her lips slightly. She tried not to be conscious of it, but she couldn’t control the thoughts that popped up in her head.

“That’s true….”

Not knowing what to say, Lilia replied. Silence hung between the two. Feeling awkward for no reason, Lilia thought about what to say. Karhan closed his lips as if he were the same.

Nothing really happened so why did this awkward atmosphere happen? Doesn’t it seem like they met after doing something suspicious?

Lilia glanced at Karhan’s face. Karhan’s face in broad daylight was different from that time. Like a sunny window, his eyes were bright blue. There were no signs of the dark, gloomy eyes as if they had covered the edge of darkness.

Lilia slowly closed her eyes and opened them. The scenery that night was still vivid as if she had transferred it to a painting. The scene where they faced each other under the drooping leaves of the wisteria. The strange air current flowing between the two eyes and the eyes that seemed to swallow her. The atmosphere was like something would happen if she relaxed even for a moment.

When she remembered the moment, her fingers were numb. Lilia tried to turn her head at the sound of whispers coming from deep within her. Then she found a faint scar on Karhan’s cheek.

“Karhan, are you hurt?”

Karhan, who had not spoken for a long time, answered quietly.

“……There was some friction with the Duchess.”

“Is that what the Duchess did?”

Lilia frowned as she reached out and gently wrapped her hand around his cheek.

“How could she slap you in the face!”

To do that to his face! As Lilia unleashed her wrath, Karhan only blinked his eyes. As if she had been acting awkwardly, Lilia looked at Karhan’s face. Fortunately, the other cheek was fine, but the fingernail scratch still remained faint.

With an annoyed face Lilia bit her lips. If it wasn’t for the Duchess who hit him, she would immediately offer a bounty for the perpetrator and then punish her. Karhan laughed, looking at Lilia.

“Why are you laughing?”

Lilia, who still has a serious face, asked. Karhan was just tickled by the fact that Lilia was angry for him. This is how I came to like Lilia. Why did I only realize this now?

“It’s just….”

Karhan slowly raised his hand. And he carefully put his palm on the back of Lilia’s hand, which was still on his cheek.

“I like it when you get angry for me…….”

[PR: _(´ཀ`」 ∠)_ ]

The raised corners of his eyes bent like a crescent moon. The blue eyes seen between the fluttering eyelashes were quite soft. Confused, Lilia blinked and hastily withdrew her hand.

Karhan looked at Lilia’s hand with regret. Lilia clenched her lips. Thump, thump, her heart fluttered like a fish out of water. Lilia, who barely calmed her heart, murmured for no reason,

“Why are you getting hit when you’re this big?”

Karhan brushed his cheek with a troubled face. Lilia glanced at Karhan.

“If that happens again……, run away from home. We have a lot of rooms.”

Karhan just nodded while wondering what to answer. The two had a small conversation. From Lilia’s story of her new business to France, Malek, and Tession’s current affairs..…. But neither of them brought up any of the stories that night.

“I have to go in now.”

Time went by and Karhan glanced at the front door. There was a lot to review because he kept missing classes. He said with a more ambitious look than usual for some reason.

“I’ll work harder from now on.”

“Yes, it was nice to see you after a long time.”

Karhan paused at Lilia’s words. The blunt face was full of regret. Karhan faced Lilia. He bent down slightly to make the eye level about the same, and then quietly called Lilia.

“Lilia.”

Lilia was nervous at the low voice. As Karhan paused, Lilia’s eyes shook briefly.

“Do you like foxes?”

Her stiffened body relaxed at the unexpected question. Suddenly, a fox……? She was curious about the intent of the question, but Lilia expressed her opinion.

“I prefer wolves to foxes.”

“Wolf…”

Karhan looked very serious. His face looked troubled.

“What’s wrong with a fox?”

“It’s nothing.”

Karhan shook his head right away. He seemed to have something to hide. Lilia squinted her eyes. He used to always answer me, without me asking him.…. Feeling somehow disappointed, Lilia shook her head at once.

Karhan walked into the annex, and Lilia walked slowly. She was going to go back to the main building after a short walk. Lilia reflected on the conversation she had with Karhan.

She was nervous that the story might come out at that time, but Karhan didn’t say much either. He seemed to just bury it as if nothing had happened. It’s what I’ve been hoping for, but why do I feel so weird?

As her heart throbbed, Lilia paused. A hotter wind blew through the golden hair. Lilia remembered a big hand sweeping her hair. Lilia, whose earlobes felt a little hot, sighed.

I’ll be fine……?  But she didn’t seem right. She wasn’t confident that she would be okay with it like this. Lilia sighed again.
