Chapter 29: Mimosa handkerchief
Even at eight years old, he elegantly crossed his legs and enjoyed his tea.
I would have been impressed by his sophistication in the past.
In a conservatory full of warm spring sunlight, we were in the middle of enjoying a sophisticated afternoon tea.
“Julian-sama, I have something I want to give you.”
Until the Exiled Duke’s Daughter,…
Without delay, I carefully placed a beautifully wrapped handkerchief with embroidery on the table.
Julian-sama’s expression remained unchanged as he looked at it with only his eyes, while still holding the teacup with his mouth.
“What is this?”
“It’s a handkerchief.
I’ve been studying embroidery lately, and this is the first successful one I’ve made.”
“Why me?”
As he asked that, I tilted my head.
If he asked why, the only reason was because Lili told me to give it to him.
But if I said that directly, it wouldn’t make him feel good.
After twisting my head for a moment, I put on a bright expression.
“I wanted someone to see it.
The results of my hard work.”
“It didn’t have to be me, did it?”
“But Julian-sama never tells lies.”
I said with a casual tone.
However, Julian-sama’s eyes widened as if he was surprised.
“I wonder.”
“Well, at least that’s how it seems to me.
You’re the only one who doesn’t use flattery on me, Julian-sama.”
My pride is still just a small hill compared to before, so I don’t really think twice about giving him a handkerchief.
After all, he’s my fiancé now.
Julian-sama took the handkerchief out of the wrapping paper and just stared at it.
Then, he gently traced his finger on the embroidery of a yellow mimosa flower.
“… You’re always so straightforward.”
“It’s rare for Julian-sama to compliment me like that.”
“I’m not complimenting you.”
What a twisted person he is.
Maybe I shouldn’t have given him the handkerchief after all.
Puffing out my cheeks without hiding my frustration, I turned away.
After a short silence, I cautiously turned my gaze back to him, and he was still staring at the handkerchief in the same way as before.
“Um, Julian-sama?”
“What is it?”
I’m not good at this kind of thing.
Rather, I’ve never done it.
I always judged things based on appearances alone and never thought it was a bad thing.
“Are you feeling down about something?”
Again, he widened his eyes and stared at me.
What is he so surprised about this time? I don’t understand what children are thinking.
“You surprised me.
I didn’t know you were so considerate.”
“No, I’m not.
I hate people who try to guess what the other person is feeling.”
Thinking I had gone too far, I covered my mouth with my hand.
Julian-sama didn’t seem angry, and instead eased his cheek slightly.
“You really do have a bad personality.”
“By the way, Julian-sama, you’re just as twisted as I am.”
“I only do it in front of you.”
Julian-sama slowly rises and walks towards me.
He gently scoops up my amber hair in his hand.
“Hey, Aliseteen.”
“W-What is it?”
My heart pounds as I see a different side of Julian-sama.
I can’t believe I’m affected by the charm of an eight-year-old child.
Have I lost my mind?
“Do you remember what you told me a year ago? You said, ‘You’re attractive just the way you are.'”
“…”
Did I say that…?
“That meant a lot to me.”
“Such a small thing?”
“It’s a big thing for me.”
Julian-sama gently closes his eyes and kisses my hair with a delicate motion.
“Thank you for the handkerchief.
I’ll cherish it.”
If this expression is a lie, then I think Julian-sama has a worse personality than me.
