25 – {feel the change}
{Feel the change}
Since 11 years ago, Theodore has been in a limited state of giving affection in any way.
‘Whether it’s a friend or a lover, giving affection is something I want to avoid as much as possible.’
Uriya Arsene originally shouldn’t have played a big role in his life.
At least in Theodore Skylord’s plan.
‘The reason William was furious while warning him yesterday was because she lost because she couldn’t see Princess Yuria like before.’
It was a terrible variable.
Even when I spent a year with Yuria Arsein at Minst Academy, I thought that I just had to do my duty as her fiancé in moderation. There was no
That’s why I prepared breakfast for myself following yesterday’s dinner.
If it was him from two days ago, she wouldn’t have been interested in what Yuria was eating.
The subjects he cooks with sincerity are limited to his family, the Duke and Duchess of Skyroad and his younger sister Judith. However, one more person was added because of the affection he gave without knowing it.
‘It would be better to do it in the garden.’
The training after breakfast started in the garden. Her
He promised to teach her the art of swordsmanship properly, and Theodore had intended to teach her as much as he had taught her about her anti-resilience before.
But now that her perspective on her has changed, her mindset to teach her has also changed.
‘I’ve been wanting to make him a famous soldier on the continent.’
Could it be that her friendly feelings blossomed from her sincerity as she gave her affection?
Her
Her self-help, but she felt that she wanted to help her achieve her dream as her nerves kept getting on her.
“I already warned you that you’re going to start a tough workout. I ask again, but you don’t intend to cancel?”
“Yes. If it’s training that helps me get stronger, I won’t cancel it no matter how hard it gets.”
Full of her dreams and passion, Yuria’s answer was as expected, so Theodore smiled slightly and nodded.
She would let her experience her proper training the way she wanted.
“Yes, that’s a good passion. Then let’s begin.”
Koo Goo Goo Goong-
Theodore moderated his life force and spewed it towards Yuria.
However, the difference in skill between him and YuRia was so drastically different that even this level of pressure would make her unable to stand still.
“Ugh!”
However, while Yuria was oppressed by her murderous body, she clenched her teeth and resisted.
She wanted to get down on her knees and sit down, but she didn’t hesitate to sit down. Seeing her holding on while gritting her teeth, I came up with an evaluation that said, “It looks dazzling while being admirable for some reason.”
‘It bothers me.’
Before the perspective of seeing Yuria has changed, she can stand up to her appearance quite well. It would have ended with some sentiment.
But is it because her perspective on her has changed?
She was even bothered by the beads of sweat on her forehead, and she was also worried about her legs.
‘That woman is way better than I thought.’
It was not an evaluation of her will.
I knew at least that she had such a strong will.
It was just the fact that she was worried about her, and it was her evaluation of her that shook her self that she was trying to be indifferent to.
‘You’re desperate.’
With her superhuman willpower, Yuria endured her life, proving that coming to the Minst Academy was not a light-hearted thing, despite the objections of her mother, Duchess Arsein.
“It’s holding up well. Alright, then I’ll step up.”
“What?!”
Theodore raised the power of the momentum contained in the killing spree to YuRia.
I could see YuRia’s legs staggering this time, but she managed to hold on this time as well.
I could see her whole body drenched in sweat, and it was pitiful to see her struggling desperately.
If you see the most beautiful woman of the Arkhan Empire struggling to endure herself while sweating all over her body, there might be many people who would be angry at the fact that she could do such a heinous thing to such a beautiful being.
Perhaps if someone were to criticize herself in that way, if it were him from two days ago, she would rather have thrown her provocation and counter-provoked the one who was arguing about it.
But now?
‘Maybe I can understand.’
On the contrary, I felt like I could understand the feelings of the critic.
Seeing her stagger, Theodore was momentarily taken aback.
But Theodore didn’t stop sending her momentum.
If she stopped here, it would be her insult to her.
“Aww!”
And when she had lasted her minute, Theodore told her.
“Okay. Swing your sword at me in that state.”
It would be difficult for her to stand on her two legs now.
He was healthy, but his slender legs looked pitiful as if they were about to break.
But as soon as she listened to his instructions, she immediately pulled her hand out of her scabbard.
“I’ll hold on! Ugh!”
I could see Yuria, her whole body drenched in sweat, holding her sword in her hand with a distressed and strained expression.
Standing by concentrating her strength only on her legs, she staggered and almost fell as she dispersed her strength also on her hands, but somehow managed to hold on and she swung her sword at Theodore. .
But Theodore immediately recognized that her movements were clumsy, and she knew that the direction her sword was pointing was right next to her, not herself, so she did not move a single step from her place.
Wheek-
The sword was swung into the air.
“Oh.”
Yuria seemed heartbroken that she couldn’t even swing her sword properly.
And seeing her heartbroken, Theodore, instead of throwing her taunts at her, threw her compliments.
“You did well for the first time. You can rest now.”
Saying that, when Theodore let go of her spirit, it was as if she had really squeezed all of her strength to the limit of herself, and it was her YuRia’s body that relaxed and staggered as she tried to fall down. Seemed
At this rate, her limbs could have been scrapped.
To prevent that from happening, Theodore came quickly to her and supported her.
“Yes.”
Feeling the touch of Theodore, who supported her by putting her arms between her sweaty armpits and hugging her body, Yuria let out a panicked sound.
Theodore felt the sound of her heart beating like crazy, and seeing Yuria who was ashamed of it and didn’t know what to do with it, a peculiar emotion arose inside Theodore.
That’s what made Yuria’s appearance so cute.
‘Isn’t it cute?’
It was a completely different kind of feeling than seeing her sister, Judith, as cute.
In addition, as I vividly felt the touch of YuRia’s soft and resilient female body, I felt strangely overly conscious, and I even felt that her body, which must have been drenched in sweat, smelled good.
“I’ll take you home for a while. Sit down and rest. I’ll take a break and resume training.”
“Yes, yes.”
Yuria tried to answer her, but stuttered her words. As for the sound of her heart beating now, she seemed very concerned that she had made such physical contact with herself.
It must have been the first time in my life to have had such contact with a man while growing up as the royal family of Arsene.
‘My fiancée is this woman… In a way, it must be luck.’
Two days ago, it definitely didn’t matter.
“Ah?!”
Yuria made a puzzled noise. It was because her Theodore went beyond supporting her and lifted her up in what is called her princess hug position.
“Hey, drop me off. I can walk alone!”
Yuria slightly protested with a reddened face at her shame, but Theodore deliberately didn’t reveal her feelings and said with a calm expression.
“If you fall down, you will get hurt, so don’t be stubborn. It’s just a moment.”
As she said that, Theodore, who held her, carried her very lightly and entered her mansion.
And sat her on her little couch on her floor.
“Aww.”
“Whoops.”
Theodore burst into laughter when he saw Yuria, who was ashamed of what had happened just now, and her face turned red, not knowing what to do.
“Ooh, don’t laugh.”
Yuria thought she took it as a joke, but she immediately made her protest. However, seeing her protesting with a red face, Theodore realized the change in her perspective.
If you were the girl two days ago, what would you think of her now?
‘I didn’t feel any value.’
She would have drawn the line that whether she was ashamed or ashamed, she would just do her duty as her fiancé and she would be fine.
‘It’s not love.’
For Theodore, love was as important as being a friend.
A friend who exchanges favors while keeping promises and trust even at the risk of her life.
And it is love to be devoted even at the cost of one’s own life.
As such, her current feelings toward Yuria could not be defined as love by Theodore’s standards.
It was just that the affection he gave me was growing little by little.
However, Theodore, who realized that a change in perspective was taking place with just that, tried to exercise self-control so as not to be swept away by that emotion.
‘I can’t do anything I can’t do because my emotions are swept away.’
It was the feeling of anger that got rid of William’s reproductive function.
Originally, even if William had aimed for his own life, he would have proceeded step by step, appreciating how William was driven into a corner in fear.
But the moment she heard that he was targeting Yuria, she was enraged and punished him for crossing the line that he should not have crossed, erasing her reproductive function.
‘Minst Academy’s classes will start next Monday.’
The Duke of Skyroad was worried about the hurt he would receive as his father, but Theodore had already made up his mind a long time ago.
The fact that he was the true chosen one, not William, would eventually be revealed even if he didn’t openly reveal it, and Theodore had been waiting for that moment for a long time.
And he would also watch over William’s fall and karma.
“Princess Yuria.”
“Yes, yes. Prince Theodore. Whoops.”
YuRia stuttered again, and bit her lip slightly as if she was embarrassed to keep showing her shyness.
She bit her lip lightly, trying to soothe her own spirit with her pain.
“You look embarrassing. Prince Theodore, tell me.”
Watching Yuria, who had calmed herself down, asked her calmly, Theodore spoke about her training.
“Swinging the sword while enduring the death penalty just now was excellent considering your level. Experience now will help you become stronger.”
“Yes.”
Yuria seemed to be seriously concentrating on the story. She really deserves recognition for her attitude as a prosecutor.
Even two days ago, she had been acknowledging her dream and passion as a prosecutor in her heart, but after experiencing a change in her own heart because of yesterday’s incident, her passion became even more intense. It was deeply embedded in her gaze.
“Just now, you did not give up and resisted even in severe fear. First of all, it was training, so you learned to resist first, but if this is a real battle, it would be better to run away as much as possible.”
“Run away?”
“That’s right. If an opponent radiates that much life force and intimidates you, it means that the opponent is overwhelmingly stronger than you. Fighting against such an opponent is not bravery, but brute force. In that case, you’d better avoid yourself. “
“But…”
When Yuria seemed a bit repulsed, Theodore gave realistic advice.
“As a swordsman, there may be resistance. But keep in mind that the important thing is to survive. It’s better to avoid it unless it’s an unavoidable situation because you have to protect something. Of course, this is just knowledge to the end. I’m not going to let you get caught up in it.”
Not only as a fiancé.
It’s just that Theodore Skylord, as an individual, didn’t want a situation where Yuria Arseiin was in danger.
