Chapter 85:
Simons cheeks felt as soft as cotton on her rough palms.
As if impatient, he gently kissed Kalia on her scarred palm. Kalia had no idea what he liked about those ugly hands and why he kept kissing them. But the feeling certainly wasnt unpleasant.
He seemed to be kissing her true form, hidden behind a huge figure called General Kalia.
After all, who else in this world but Simon would look to Kalia as their own?
Thinking like that, Kalia felt a little more fascinated by standing in front of him.
It was also surprising that Simon seemed beautiful.
Since when did you start liking me?
A long time ago, to your surprise.
What? But why didnt you tell me?
Simon smiled bitterly.
Do you mean the war times? What if my words distract you and you will hurt?
Oh.
Simons words shocked Kalia, because she hadnt thought of that at all.
If it was her, if she had such a passionate feeling, she would like to express it, no matter what happens
Awesome.
So whats the answer?
Answer?
Why did you tell me not to laugh? On the other side, your smile warms peoples hearts.
Oh, this.
After a moments hesitation, Kalia decided to be frank. Because she chose to be honest with Simon, she also wanted to fulfill her feelings while they were together.
Its weird. When you laugh like that, I feel a little strange.
It was Simon who was surprised by Kalias honest statement, which he didnt expect at all.
Seeing how his eyes widened so that his golden pupils could be clearly seen, Kalia boldly continued.
You look very cute when you suddenly smile. Of course, you always have a beautiful face But now, when you laugh, I feel that it is a little ticklish here, Kalia, quietly confessing, touched her chest with her hand.
It was then that the frozen magician was ready to move his trembling lips.
Knock. Knock.
Someone politely knocked on the door.
* * *
I brought a rash cream for Sasha.
Allen, who entered the room with a smile, noticed Simon, who was already sitting there, and stopped for a moment.
Simon, of course, could be here, but what does that cold, accusing look he gave him mean?
I think I interrupted something.
But how was he to know that Simon was here?
And Allen was proud to be here on a very important matter.
Saving Sashas soft ass! And no archmage could stop this sacred Allens duty!
You were here too, Simon. Allen greeted him as politely as possible, but also approached Kalia immediately. Apply it well here. Its important to use it correctly so that there are no lumps.
The nanny says to use the powder. But is cream better?
I prefer this cream. The powders commonly used on the market can dry out the skin.
Yeah. Thanks Allen. You said I should change his diaper often when he was born, right? Hes got such weak skin Hell be fine now. I need to change him now.
Now the two of them were heading to the castle parlor, where there was now a connection. They must have contacted someone, having been postponing contact for some time.
Simon looked at her as if he could feel her gaze.
Whats wrong?
As if asking for something, he tilted his head slightly and quietly asked a question, to which Kalia flinched.
Have you always been a person who can speak so sweetly as if breathing, huh?
The more Kalia learned, the more she was surprised by Simons change. But what was even more surprising was that Simons change was becoming more and more familiar to her.
Kalia admired his adaptability as much as Simons change, and asked a question that piqued her curiosity.
As far as I remember, you werent very fond of children.
Me?
I saw children next to you. Dont you remember telling me that you cant even get close to them when you hear childrens voices?
Simon raised an eyebrow at her words and looked ahead, chuckling softly in thought. As if searching for something to say, he paused and admitted the truth in a hollow voice.
When you see babies, you always look at them in a trance. You always paid all your attention to them How could I stand and look at this?
At the words she had never thought of, Kalia stopped walking.
What do you mean?
Hearing her question, Simon stopped and looked at her. The golden eyes, which reflected the sunlight, looked so deeply that it was impossible to understand his thoughts.
As if forgetting what they were talking about, Kalias heart fluttered as he stared at her intently.
Its just, Simon closed his eyes and smiled, Ive loved you since then.
I couldnt let the woman I love look so devastated when she looked at something she couldnt have.
Oh, how can I explain this feeling?
Kalia felt her breath choke as strange emotions surged through her like a storm.
The figure of Simon, standing with his back to the window, was so warm that it seemed that her eyes were closing.
Since when do you look at me with such feelings?
His heart was bigger than Kalia thought. How could she miss how Simon felt looking at her with such a heart?
Why didnt you tell me about your feelings?
Ha.
An exhilarating breath pulled her out of her thoughts.
She gently squeezed her hands, which were itching all the time. Simon looked at her, reached out and stroked her cheek lightly. The tip of his thumb touched Kalias cheek and caressed her lower lip gently as she sighed.
Simon smiled slightly and patted Kalia on the shoulder.
Lets go. His Highness the Crown Prince will grieve.
He was the first to turn towards the sunlight, and Kalia looked at his back.
Do you have such a hard back?
She immediately wanted to hug Simon. Agitated by some unknown impulse, she reached for the door to the living room, where they were supposed to enter, and Simon called her.
Kalia.
Now Kalia heard Simons voice calling her in a different way than before. It was soft and warm. As much as she wanted to respond with her smile, Kalia knew it was evidence that her heart had changed too.
Oh, I cant.
She felt that she would go crazy if she didnt accept this feeling.
Yes, Simon.
Without hesitation, Kalia approached Simon.
