Chapter 163: Sorting things out~3

It took some time but Seth was able to calm Haruka down. He has never seen her crying like this before. She looked adorable but he didn't compliment her. It was an awkward time for that.

Her small nose was already turned red and the corner of her pretty eyes as well. Her skin seemed so delicate that rubbing the tissue paper against her skin felt like it would leave a scratch.

Seth chanted some mind-relieving spells without letting her notice it to help her calm down.

"Are you alright, now?" As he handed her a glass of water, Seth asked in slight concern.

Taking small sips of water, she nodded in embarrassment.

Despite being the older one here, Haruka has shown such an unsightly side of her that was totally unbecoming of a teacher.

However, the things she came to realize today, made her helplessly reprimand herself for misjudging the situation. Hearing Seth's confession and his commitment to her made Haruka both elated and regretful.

The warm and fuzzy feeling inside her heart emerges from the fact that the person she likes has also the same feelings for her and it wasn't just mere fleeting emotions but rather a promise to carry on their relationship until the very end. And slightly regretful that she previously misunderstood everything on her own and distanced herself from Seth due to her insecurities.

"You don't need to get muddled once again, Haruka. I know you must have your worries and insecurities but I promise you, once I graduate from the Academy, I would officially announce our relationship and ensure that you become my lawful wife, alright? " While holding her left cheek in his palm, Seth spoke in a gentle tone.

Haruka's eyes slightly widened in shock as she asked, "W-Wife?!"

"You don't want to?" With his brows raised Seth asked in an uncertain voice even though he already knew that wasn't the case.

"No I mean...the official title of the wife should be given to a noble lady not someone like me. I-I...have n-no pr-problem in b-becoming your c-c-cocunbine..."

It took a lot from the violet-haired teacher to utter those words in such a shameless manner. If her past self would have heard Haruka saying such a thing to a student then she might have died out of shame.

However, the current Haruka was cornered by her feelings and drowned in the emotion called love to think of anything other than being with Seth. Be it an illicit relationship between student and teacher, Haruka doesn't care. As long she could be with Seth society could turn into ruins.

She might not become as courageous as to profess her love publicly and become lovey-dovey with Seth without reservations right off the bat, but from this point, she would surely take some initiative.

Haruka didn't reply, just stood there while gazing into his eyes with a smile never leaving her face.

'I wish we could stay like this a little longer... ' For Haruka, it felt so unreal that she didn't want to let him go.

And by chance, she forgot to notice how her mental barrier was slightly breached and her inner voice reached up to her lover.

'...how can I resist...' Seth's last of the restraints crumbled before he stepped forward and picked up the woman in his arms.

"Ahh! Seth?!"

"You are not going home today. Let's spend some more time together." Without asking for her consent, Seth levitated away from the spot and headed toward his mansion.

The young couple did not want this day to end this soon...

[Meanwhile at the girl's dorm]

A large number of soldiers could be seen currently around the women's dorm of the Pristine Academy along with the Headmaster and a certain noble middle-aged man named Rommen AlfredLaila's father.

The said man had a tense look on his face as he chatted with the headmaster regarding the topic of their main concern.

Laila was missing for two days now.

Amidst the discussion, suddenly a soldier came running toward the group hurriedly as he announced, "We have found something, my lord!"
