294. Didn’t I tell you not to look away from me?
***
“Don’t avoid my eyes.”
A cold yet forceful voice. And most of all, honorifics disappeared from the way he spoke.
Now that I was grabbed by the shoulder, there was no other action I could take.
Seruk… .

Just as she said, I turned my gaze and met her eyes.
“……”
But just by looking into her eyes, I felt like I was going to be weighed down by momentum.
—-It was sincere.
This woman was seriously trying to subdue me. And I have already given the distance irreversibly.
I couldn’t even swallow my saliva, and when we met eyes that looked like they were embracing the sunset, it looked natural.
It was to the point where I could see the nervous me in her eyes as if I was reflected in a mirror.
“I didn’t want to do it this far either.”
The car stopped at the cold voice he spat out.
Seruk!
I felt more strength from her hand on my shoulder.
It wasn’t meant to hurt me.
It just feels like more strength has gone into her hand holding her shoulder. It was clearly not meant to harm.
Even though I knew that, I couldn’t let go of my heart.
“you. Do you know why I am angry right now?”
“…yes. I know.”
When I struggled to open my mouth to agree, Sir Isabelle suddenly twisted the corner of her mouth.
It was a strangely distorted smile.
A cold smile that was quite different from the impression she had on her yesterday.
“ah. Yes, you know.”
He added words cautiously to the strange voice.
“So, in the future… this will never happen again. I promise you.”
At our first meeting yesterday, I didn’t know if I looked good to her. But now I was feeling
That’s why she treated me well.
And now that you’re trying to completely change your attitude towards me. So, I had to block that as well.
I don’t know how much she will help me in the future, but her reputation as a golden knight wasn’t light at all.
“…I promise.”
“yes. I promise you. There will never be anything like today again.”
…I was overwhelmed by the momentum she gave off, but I tried to answer as calmly as possible.
I shouldn’t have seemed servile or indifferent to her now.
The position between Sir Isabelle and I is now so large that it cannot be narrowed down. It was thought that it was best to appear as a being who knew how to discriminate between matters.
On the inside… if not, at least on the outside, it should have seemed to her.
“You speak very well.”
I couldn’t easily answer the cold voice.
I couldn’t tell from looking into her eyes whether or not she liked what I had just said.
In her eyes, you can only see cold emotions.
“……”
The car met our gaze in silence without saying anything.
I could feel the strength slowly loosening from my shoulders. If there had been a feeling of forcing me not to get out of my hands before, this time it felt like I was gently letting go.
“Hey, I’m actually not that old compared to my reputation as a golden knight.”
“…Is that so?”
“Yeah, since we’re entering our fourth year now. It’s probably not that big of an age difference compared to you. So, I had no intention of giving advice or anything else about my future path in life.”
As if listening to the cold voice, he cautiously met his eyes.
‘I have to keep quiet and tune in to Sir Isabelle’s words.’
I felt it intuitively.
“But it is. I guess I should say it right. The time I’ve spent as the second daughter of the Marquis Eleanor, and as a golden knight, has been a time you’ll probably never see. I think that experience is beyond age, and there is something incomparable to any other experience.”
Tuk. Tuk.
I felt a strange hand touch the space where my shoulder was held.
“I don’t want my words to sound like I’m boasting to you.”
“It can’t be. I don’t think so at all.”
“okay? Then it will be easier to say.”
The car made Sir Isabelle’s voice feel even colder as he continued to speak.
…Sreuk.
I suddenly started to get pushed back.
Her hand on my shoulder was pushing me away.
And that made it very difficult to balance.
“…!”
that buck
Even as I managed to keep my balance and was pushed back without falling, Sir Isabelle did not gain any distance from me.
that buck!

Just as she continued to be pushed away, she leisurely pushed her body against me.
Took!
And at the end, I was able to reach the wall as it was.
“…ah.”
The psychological pressure was so great that stupid sounds leaked out without me even realizing it.
It was the first time in this world that I had felt such great pressure while facing people, not the danger of an apostle.
‘How should I… .’
Can you ease Sir Isabelle’s mood? My head was complicated, but I couldn’t even come up with an answer.
“…”
Even now, at a distance where I can breathe, she was glaring at me.
sh*t.
And did I even enjoy seeing my flustered appearance?
Sir Isabelle smiled very strangely.
“Don’t be so nervous, I have no intention of hurting you or harming you. I have no intention of doing the usual corporal punishment. No matter how much I am above you, I tend to think that making people listen to you through physical abuse is extremely barbaric and savage.”
That time when I couldn’t find the right answer even though I said there would be no worst situation.
softly… … .
Suddenly, she felt the hand on her shoulder slowly rise.
From the shoulder to the collarbone, and from the collarbone to the neck, and then as if gently wrapping her hands around my neck, it felt different.
It didn’t feel like physical pressure.
It was evident that she hadn’t grabbed her by the neck to inflict harm, as she had said. I just put my hand on my neck as if to wrap it right now. But that alone made me feel very strange.
A situation in which my safety could be greatly jeopardized by her light gesture.
“…”
Even if there was no physical pain, psychologically it felt like I was completely oppressed by Sir Isabelle.
I couldn’t voluntarily get out of it, and I couldn’t come up with a way to break it.
“I think I should warn you more properly.”
“……”
I only nodded my head, albeit slightly, as I thought I would sound stupid after answering nonsense.
I thought that was the best answer I could give right now.
“And it was really the first time something like today happened. I didn’t know that the existence I was supposed to protect would try to destroy itself.”
“…There will be no such thing in the future.”
“There will be no future, so why did you do that today?”
I barely opened my mouth, but I was immediately speechless at the ensuing question.
That’s… I wanted to grant Leonhardt’s wishes, so even if my physical condition wasn’t perfect right now, I also wanted to give a little bit of strength to this guy who is having a hard time.
So I accepted the Dalian unreasonably.
“…”
I just couldn’t bring it out of my mouth.
Sir Isabelle, who arrived at the academy yesterday, could neither understand nor accept my words.
“Why can’t you talk?”
When she asked strangely insistently, I was worried about how to respond.
How would you describe it succinctly?
Took!
“…!”
Then, I flinched involuntarily at the loud sound of hitting the wall.
Now her right hand was still around my neck. It was the left hand that moved.
Her arm rested against the wall right next to my face, under the shoulder of which the dazzling golden curtain hung.
glimpse.
The moment my gaze instinctively turned to that arm.
“Didn’t I tell you not to look away from me?”
I quickly turned my head to the sound of the cold ringing.
And the intent was now visible in her gaze as she stared at me.
‘Are you trying to warn me… .’
That he would warn me not to do something like today, but the way he did it felt daunting.
Rather, if they had inflicted physical harm, they were confident enough to endure it.
I have a certain tolerance for pain due to various circumstances, but the way she pressured me with words and actions like this… was something I had never experienced before.
So I was just confused.
‘What answer is this person looking for from me?’
I thought I had given the best possible answer.
There would be no future like today, and I had no intention of destroying my body either.
Who would want to do that in the first place?
“Sir Isabelle….”
“say.”
“What kind of answer would you be satisfied with?”
In the midst of tension, I finally asked directly.
I knew that such a way of asking might be like getting oil from an angry Sir Isabelle.
Still, I couldn’t understand her.
Now, with you pushing me against the wall like this, wrapping around my neck and pushing me to the point of pushing me to the wall so that I can’t escape at all, what more do you want from me?
What kind of answer do you want from me at such a distance where we can touch each other’s breath?
“…”
Perhaps my words were surprising, Sir Isabelle, who was speechless for a moment, suddenly exhaled lightly.
“Whoa.”
…As her thick breath touched the nape of my neck, I controlled my body’s reaction as much as possible.
I knew why she was acting this way, but I didn’t know why she was acting this way.
“you.”
“Tell me.”
“I will tell you in a way that is easy to understand. I am trying to imprint myself on you now.”
“Speaking of imprinting… .”
“Because I am trying to imprint this situation, this moment, my words, my expression, and even my eyes.”
Sir Isabelle, who was pouring out words, did not hesitate.
He was telling me that directing this situation was my goal.
And only then did I understand.
“…”
That my taking it like this is itself a ‘warning’ she wants to tell me.
“I understand.”
“Did you really understand?”
He answered with a deep breath to the question in a strange voice.
“yes. every.”
“……”
With those words, the previously withdrawn behavior was no longer seen.
I fixed my eyes and faced her.
Let’s stare at the girl who is looking at me now, and she also made eye contact with my eyes.
She was hoping that I would accept her words and actions now.
“……”
“……”
They stared into each other’s eyes for a moment, but Sir Isabelle’s eyes didn’t change at all.
Between the bizarre atmosphere that seems like we’ll be looking at each other forever.
Change came at an unexpected moment.
“What are you doing?”
Hearing a completely unexpected voice… … .
Never thought someone will surpass Glessia in… whatever these girl doing right now.
