chapter 35
***
-Milia’s attitude is strange.
Luna has been feeling that strongly for the past few days.
Something doesn’t seem to be the Millia he knew.
But I didn’t know why.
Just like my intuition, I thought that Milia had changed a bit.
I’m sure… your attitude towards me would be the same.
You and Milia must be best friends… .

Milia smiled brightly in her thoughts.
“by the way. Luna, I thought the Academy Written Test would be a little easier. Doesn’t it seem more difficult than I thought?”
“…right. Because Millia says so. I think so too. I just crossed the answer… because it was very different.”
He nodded his head softly as he listened.
To be honest, I thought it was easy to solve, but when I crossed the answer, Milia and I had strangely different opinions.
…and the result is usually, Milia was right. Milia is a really smart kid that I admire.
‘The answers to the problems I solved seemed clear. It’s not like that.’
A car I didn’t understand. His gaze shifted to the side.
“I may have to work harder in the future.”
Under the short black hair, Milia seemed to be struggling with the exam.
It was also the ‘Sincere Milia’ that I knew.
Even though he’s a friend, he’s sincere enough to remind me why I like Milia again…
By the way. I felt weird.
I was certainly still with Milia.
But I’m still wondering if something is odd. Something caught on the other side of my mind.
Nothing special from usual. It feels like Milia looks a little different.
Even when I talked to him, he seemed to respond as usual, but there was a feeling that he was just accepting it.
‘Something… Milia is strange.’
They obviously care for each other and have already spent 8 years as best friends.
Still, being with Milia was fun and comfortable.
So to spend time with Milia. Didn’t he even lower the class he was assigned to in the entrance exam?
However, it felt like Milia had no desire to get closer to me.
“Milia.”
“…yes?”
“No, nothing.”
Even now, when I called, he looked at me half a second later than before entering the academy.
It’s like they’re thinking differently. I didn’t understand that.
I love Milia so much. Because I keep feeling that something has changed.
I wish you would accept my words as kindly as before… but that wasn’t the way it felt.
The more I thought about it, the more sadness built up in my heart.
And there was a reason to guess.
When Milia’s gaze sometimes feels like she’s in a completely different place. Naturally, when I remembered that, I unwittingly grabbed my hand.
It was mainly directed at a man.
A man with dark black hair and dark eyes that is slightly different from Milia… . To that man who was really unlucky.
‘The name was… Hancheonseong.’
The man’s voice when he left the room to avoid looking at me yesterday was still clear.
Being a commoner without saints. How could I forget that man who didn’t even know his subject and tried to sit next to me.
And frankly, I couldn’t believe the rumors about Dalian.
Leonhardt, who even delivered a congratulatory speech as the head of the entrance exam. I had a fight with that man and the commoner ended up in a draw. Even thinking about it again, it was not surprising.
‘What nonsense is that.’
Even if it was really a draw in Dalian, I would say that a cadet named Leonhard looked after him or was careless. Anyway, I thought it would have been rough.
because I think I didn’t really like a man named Leonhard either.
Did I even look down on Dalian to be in a draw with the Commons? Then he shook his head slowly.
I didn’t want to think about that man any more.
For now, I can enjoy spending time with Milia. It’s sad, but if I was kind to Milia, she would definitely accept me.
jerk.
Then, when I heard footsteps from a nearby place, my gaze went blankly.
And I frowned.
‘what… ?’
why.
Why is that man here?
All of a sudden, I saw a man named Han Cheon-seong.
“there. Are you okay for a second?”
Then he spoke in a soft voice that was too burdensome, but his appearance was so different from the one I encountered at the entrance ceremony… For a moment, even I couldn’t get used to it.
It really felt like goosebumps on my arms.
‘What the hell are you doing… !’
The car that opened its mouth right away.
Whoops!
In an instant, Milia quickly grabbed my arm. I couldn’t get what I was going to say.
Because it was like the characteristic that Millia always had to restrain me.
“yes! it’s okay. Surely his name is Han Cheon-seong, right?”
And… looking at the man with a very bright smile. In an instant, my bubbly, boiling heart sank as if frozen.
‘why.’
…why is Milia smiling so brightly?
Also looking at the guy I hate the most.

Maybe it was a bright smile that I couldn’t even show… I couldn’t understand.
No, I don’t want to understand… I didn’t.

“yes! it’s okay. Surely his name is Han Cheon-seong, right?”
At the sight of Milia responding so brightly, nature was momentarily surprised.
“…yes. you’re right. You are also a student of Milia, right?”
It was written on the nameplate, so of course the name was correct, but Milia smiled brightly and nodded her head.
“yes. Right. You can speak comfortably. Seeing that you left the classroom so early, you must have completed the ethics test well.”
I blinked involuntarily as she looked at me with a soft, strange gaze.
‘what… ?’
Why is the first feeling so good?
It’s definitely not like Luna, but since it’s a sudden approach, I thought it wouldn’t be easy to even keep a conversation going.
That’s not what I’m feeling right now.
Would you say that it feels rather easy?
When I was told to take it easy, I put it down lightly.
“Then I’ll let you talk. Milia can call me comfortably, too. Actually, there’s no big business, it’s just… we were assigned to the same class. I want to make friends. If you have time, I’d like to chat with you. Is that okay?”
As he continued to speak calmly, his gaze shifted to Luna.
With Milia holding her arm, Luna, who had a puzzled expression on her face, was ridiculously funny, but I couldn’t understand it.
‘Why is he so quiet again?’
As she expected an answer because she was curious, Milia immediately nodded her head.
“ah. Friendship… Then I think it’s a good idea too.”
Seeing Milia responding positively, I met her eyes.
“…”
I would say that it is quite strange to see those eyes that are completely different from mine, with a light blue color. You take my words so easily. Its purpose was to the point of being curious.
swish.
But not long after we met our gaze, let’s avoid my gaze. I stopped without realizing it.
‘me. Did I make any mistake?’
Even though I wanted to avoid my gaze, Milia’s appearance caught my eye again.
In the original story, she appears as a supporting actor who receives little attention after being pushed to the heroine Luna, but when viewed up close like this, her beauty was unique.
When viewed from a distance, I felt that he was attracted to him because he had short black hair and a cute impression. Looking at it up close now, the tear spot under the right eye was very strange.
Would you say it is cute and has a strange color at the same time? There was a strange charm that changed the impression at once.
‘What am I thinking… .’
I immediately cleared my mind and opened my mouth.
“Then shall we go together? I heard there is a good cafe in the academy. I think it would be good to talk there.”
As he spoke, he never looked at Luna.
For some reason, the flow wasn’t bad. So, you have to keep this flow going to the end. All the answers to my questions now were also heard from Milia.
“cafe? I think I’ll be fine too. right. it’s luna are you okay? huh? Are you fine!?”
And as soon as Milia looked at Luna and repeated her words, for a moment, I felt like I was ruined.
I had to go to the cafe as if leading this flow. If you come to the end and ask Luna for her opinion… Isn’t the answer already decided?
‘I will refuse.’
As I took a deep breath, I felt deep regret.
I don’t know how many opportunities like this will come in the future. I feel like I’ve missed a great opportunity.
The reason is that although the two are said to be best friends now, it should be said that Luna has more practical decision-making power than Milia.
The background of the Counts of Vermont family to which Luna belongs right now is also the background, and there are many reasons why Milia always suits her.
So let me give you a vain gaze.
how about
“……”
Luna, who thought she would immediately refuse, remained silent.
Instead, he looked like he had gone out with a blank expression on his face.
“I, there. Are you Luna? Not only me, but other cadets are also waiting now.”

Milia, who seemed to be embarrassed by the appearance, called her again and rushed to answer her, and it was only then that the light seemed to return to Luna’s eyes.
swish!
Let Luna look right at me. For a moment, it felt like my heart was going to fall.
Seriously… how could someone’s eyes be so cruel?
“…okay. OK.”
Immediately afterward, Luna answered in a very subdued voice.
And then I said yes and tried to turn around.
“… uh?”
Now, on the other hand, I felt like I was dumbfounded.
For a moment, I doubted my ears.
‘Rejection… not?’
No, did I hear correctly?
“Then Hancheonseong cadets? I think we should go to the cafe together like this.”
At the soft voice of Milia smiling happily, I opened my mouth in a dazed consciousness momentarily.
“…Call me Hancheonseong comfortably.”

Milia nodded her head as if pleased with my words, and naturally looked at Luna.
His gaze went blankly after her.
no way.
“Luna.”
He cut off a single word, uttered his name, and immediately turned his head, but the moment I saw Luna like that, I doubted this reality.
Shrek.
Gently pinch your thighs. The pain was felt so clearly.
‘No, how is this real?’
again.
Standing next to Milia, who was walking first, she smiled brightly and looked at me as if curiously.
Receiving such a favorable gaze from Milia— strangely, her gaze shifted to Luna, who was quietly walking next to her.
how…
‘What is this situation?’
There wasn’t one or two that went beyond my understanding.
