For Your Failed Unrequited Love

Chapter 92

FUL Chapter 92

Now he has nothing to say, even if Lucy really thought of him as a beast. After stealing her shiny lips, he looked at Lucys red face carefully and spoke.

..Im sorry. I didnt follow you here for this purpose.

Were you surprised?

Lucy didnt answer. So Felix wiped his lips with his thumb.

In front of Lucy, who was silent, Felix looked at her with impatience. A look of regret appeared on his face as he added a word.

I wont do it again.

Lucy then lowered her eyebrows and looked at Felixs face. There was an awkward silence between the two.

It was Lucy who broke the silence first.

I didnt hate it

She spoke in a small but clear voice. Felix paused at the unexpected answer and looked at her again.

I can keep doing it?

Looking at Felixs dazed expression, Lucy said one more time. It took a while for the words to be fully understood.

When she said she didnt hate kissing him, joy and happiness came to Felix.

Then his eyes began to boil again with passion. But this time he didnt want to act like a clumsy boy.

Lucy also looked up at Felix with an eye that seemed to want something more.

He slowly approached Lucy and touched her lips, softer and more relaxed than ever.

  *

After a long time, Felix and Lucy left the classroom.

Both looked awkward. The two could not hide their embarrassment at the fact that they kissed longer than they were sitting to study.

Felix wondered how much more time they would have to spend together in the future for him to act calmly and restrained in front of Lucy. However, his desperation for Lucy did not disappear no matter how much time passed.

Then lets go separately from here. Lucy said after leaving the hallway. As Felix nodded, Lucy walked a little ahead and began to go down to the first floor. Felix followed behind, looking at her round head.

It was a letter from Brom that forced the two to calm down.

The two greeted each other in front of the main building and parted, and each turned toward the dormitory and library. Soon afterwards, Lucy suddenly stopped walking and looked toward the main gate.

The mailman, who stops by the academy every day, entered the school gate with his horse tied to the front gate. Lucy made a hasty turn and ran toward him.

After returning from the Thanksgiving holiday, whenever the mailman visited, Lucy rushed to check if any letters had come to her. It was because the reply to the Thanksgiving card she sent to her parents in Brom had not yet arrived.

Felix reassured her that there must be a lot of mail that had caused the delay in the delivery, but Lucy couldnt shake off her worries.

But it didnt seem like much to worry about. It turned out that there were a few more students from the east who had not received a reply from their house. Perhaps there was something wrong with the eastern post office. Mail carriages were often overturned or lost in accidents.

Lucy ran to the mailman and received the letter. It seemed that a reply had finally arrived. Felix could see Lucys happy face from afar. A smile of relief soon came to his face.

But when Felix, who was stepping back toward the dormitory, suddenly looked back at Lucy, she was no longer smiling. Her expression as she read the letter was unusual.

Felix turned around and approached Lucy with a puzzled face. As he got closer, her pale face became apparent.

Lucy, whats going on?

Sunbae

With a pale face, Lucy dropped her hand holding the letter.

What should I do?

Her lips trembled. She opened her mouth with difficulty.

There was a battle on the eastern border.

  *

Lucys letter was accompanied by several lines of replies to the Thanksgiving card, as well as a few lines of recent worrying events.

Days before Thanksgiving, it was said that the Trach tribe invaded the eastern border of the Empire and plundered several villages.

Fortunately, Brom was not harmed. Lucys parents and Baron Connors couple were also safe. They told her not to worry about anything even if she heard a news later. It was written in calm handwriting.

However, Lucys hand, holding the letter, trembled slightly.

Even if they werent harmed, she had no choice but to worry after hearing about the Trach tribe. 

Felix held her shoulder still.

The Trach tribe were barbarians who wandered near the Trach mountain, above the kingdom of Lausanne, and engaged in looting. The king of Lausanne, the neighboring country, has long used large force to prevent the barbarians from plundering and harming their people.

He even temporarily gave up the land that was in conflict with the Beros Empire because of the battle against the Trach tribe.

It was fortunate for the Beros Empire. The longer the dispute with the Lausanne kingdom lasted, the greater the burden on the people of the empire.

Anyway, the land that was obtained was quite useful. And since the kingdom of Lausanne was always standing between the land and the barbarians, the attack of the Tracks was not something to worry about.

However, the two were surprised to hear that the barbarians suddenly invaded the eastern border of Beros.

It was not known at this time whether the Trachs penetrated the soldiers of the Lausanne Kingdom and reached the empire, or whether the Lausanne Kingdom intentionally opened the way for looters.

The situation will not get worse because Count Braden will drive the barbarians to the north.

Count Braden was an experienced knight who had protected the east side of the empire for decades. In addition, skilled knights were guarding the eastern border, so even barbarians would not rush to loot again.

Yes

Lucy nodded in tears at his consolation.

Lucy could hardly shake off her anxiety. She seemed to feel greater anxiety that the distance between the capital and Brom was too far to immediately receive news about the situation. In fact, a few days had already passed before she heard the news about the plundering. 

Ill send a messenger to check the situation. So dont worry.

Felix said. Lucy nodded, slightly relieved.

Felix took Lucy, who was anxious, to the library.

The shadow on her face made Felix feel uneasy. When he arrived in front of the library, Felix, who couldnt just let her go, hugged Lucy.

Dont worry too much. The Imperial Palace must have heard about it before us, theyre already discussing this situation. It wont be a big deal.

He said, sweeping down Lucys back.

Yes, I hope so.

Lucys trembling voice touched his ears.

Then, the library door opened. He stopped when he saw the two hugging. Felix sensed the mans presence and fell off Lucy.

As soon as he turned his head and checked, Felixs expression changed to bewilderment. Likewise, it was none other than Adrian who stood looking at the two with a surprised expression.

He alternated between Felix and Lucy with a more perplexing look than ever. He then hid his surprise and spoke in his usual tone.

Lucy, Jemima is waiting inside.

Oh, Im sorry.

Lucy hurriedly took her bag from Felixs shoulder and ran into the library. Adrian approached Felix after the sound of the book that was crashing loudly in her bag completely disappeared.

So, you two?

Adrian asked cautiously.

Felix nodded his head, not knowing what to say. Adrians expression grew serious.

Felix, if father finds out about this, he wont stay still.

He knew he said it because he was worried about his junior, but Felix was fed up as soon as he heard it.

Im being careful.

Is this what being careful looks like? What if I wasnt the one who found you?

His cold words left Felix speechless. Adrians expression changed as he stared at him. He asked a question as if he had thought of something.

By any chance Does father already know? Why did he suddenly decide to sponsor Lucy?

Father doesnt know for sure yet. I wont let him know.

At Felixs blunt answer, Adrian swept his hair. He still looked at his brother with questionable eyes.

Yes, of course.

After a while, he nodded once with a blunt expression, as if he didnt want to be more involved.

Adrian passed him down the stairs, then moved away toward the main building. Felix sighed as he looked at his younger brothers disappearing back.

At some point, Adrians atmosphere changed. From the time he threw the vase at the book club members, Felix noticed his change.

He was more concerned about what he was thinking now because he never revealed his innermost thoughts to others. 

Maybe hell never answer even if he asks him whats wrong.

Nervously, Felix swept his hair away.Sienna
