pre-election (3)
YuRia felt so ashamed now that she was eating like a baby.
Can it really be like this? It felt as if I had been regressed into a child.
“You eat well. Well done.”
Regardless of what YuRia thought, Leonhardt hugged her tightly and kissed her wet eyes.
And to be praised for such a simple act. This was too much.
Strangely, the boat called sooner than expected.
Maybe it’s because I’m nervous. I don’t know because I’ve never been this hungry.
I still had no strength, but when I put something in my mouth, my vision became clearer than before.
YuRia’s shoulders were held by Leonhard’s strong arms.
Yuria tried not to admit that his arm gave her a strange sense of security.
Leonhard brought the food to his mouth again and tapped the piece of bread to his mouth.
YuRia hesitated, then slightly shook her head.
“I’m full?”
A gentle smile stretched across Leonhardt’s mouth above the jawline that drew a good line all the way to his ears.
YuRia blushed slightly and nodded.
Leonhard smiled lightly and took the bread that had touched Yuria’s lips to his mouth. His lower jaw moved leisurely as he chewed the bread.
why do you do this
The speed at which my heart was beating was unusual. Unlike before, he was running like crazy.
At this rate, I thought it would only be a matter of time before Leonhard heard it, and the back of my neck felt hot.
After passing the bread, Leonhard was staring at YuRia’s face as if he were tearing it apart.
That gaze was obsessive. From her radiant blonde hair to her long, delicate eyelashes, her blue eyes sparkling with water, and the bridge of her nose dyed red from crying, she reached Yuria’s red lips.
Yuria covered her mouth with one hand while blushing at the gaze that touched her lips.
“I need to wash up.”
Leonhard lightly lifted Yuria up.
Yuria even felt the illusion that her weight had disappeared.
It looked like a goose feather.
Leonhard took Yuria to the bathroom.
Oddly enough, it must have been a normal bathroom before, but before I knew it, there was a pretty decent bathroom attached.
Originally, it seems that there were only toilets and running water… . Was it like this originally? That part was a little hazy.
“Wait a minute.”
Leonhardt put YuRia on the edge of the bathtub and started drawing water.
It was a bit precarious, but he was still supporting YuRia’s shoulder with one arm for stability.
Curiously, hot steam came up right away without the need to heat the water.
As soon as the water reached her ankles, Yuria wiggled her toes.
Only then did Yuria think that she might be a little dirty.
When I lifted my arm and sniffed it, I actually felt a little bit like that.
It wouldn’t have been nice to kiss. YuRia shrugged.
“it’s okay?”
Leonhard stuck his head out and said. It was within reach of their lips, so Yuria swallowed her breath.
“Yes.”
“Do you want to wash yourself? Or would you like me to wash it?”
“… ”
Naturally, she thought that he would go outside, so YuRia was speechless for a while.
“I need to wash it.”
“Oh, no. I will wash myself.”
YuRia hurriedly answered.
After all, it seems like I’m really entrusting everything to Leonhardt.
“Are you okay?”
Leonhard frowned slightly. His face was so beautiful that Yuria recognized it a little too late that it was a frown.
“I don’t think I have any strength in my arms yet.”
His long, straight fingers caressed the back of YuRia’s hand.
I tried to refuse casually, but that was when I suddenly got scared.
Yuria seemed to know what Leonhardt wanted.
‘… What should I do?’
To hear Leonhard washes it.
It may feel good, but somehow I felt ashamed at first.
When I thought that I might do something sinister, my stomach felt hot as if I had swallowed a burning stone.
“majesty. You have to choose.”
Leonhardt smiled and lightly pressed his lips against Yuria’s cheek.
“It’s okay.”
YuRia, who hesitated, groaned thinly as a result of her nervousness.
A voice mixed with laughter was heard from the black-haired boy next to him, as if he was having fun.
Before I knew it, the water in the bathtub was up to my knees.
If you think about it common sense, it was right to refuse.
She herself is the princess of the empire, and she shouldn’t have been treated with such coercion.
However, for some reason, Yuria had the idea that he might be able to abandon herself and leave at any time.
Leonhardt could, in fact, do so whenever he felt like it.
If he abandons me, how many more days will I be alone in this room?
In the empty room, loneliness and hunger, YuRia felt a chilling fear when she thought of that moment.
I don’t want to go through it again.
“Sir, wash me.”
“… ”
Leonhard tilted his head slightly.
“Washed… please?”
YuRia saw Leonhard’s expression and changed her words.
The way the request came out of his mouth was still a bit awkward.
“Well done.”
It felt good to hear him stroking my hair and whispering softly in my ear.
It was as if the long-awaited desire that he had been looking away from inside himself was being met.
However… Something is wrong. A few words from him made me feel like I was going to change.
“Hey Leonhard. Undressing me… .”
YuRia whispered, not knowing what to do.
Even so, it was embarrassing to even imagine showing a man naked.
“yes?”
Leonhard turned the water tap on and smiled mischievously.
“It is not yet at that stage. I’ll just wash my hair and face.”
YuRia felt ashamed once again.
“Wait a minute.”
Leonhard left YuRia and went out of the bathroom for a while.
In the meantime, Yuria could barely catch her breath. The scent of Leonhardt remained like a reverberation.
He soon returned with towels and cloths. And the first water bottle with a small pump attached to it.
“… What is it? where did you get it from?”
YuRia was slightly frightened and asked.
“These days, stores sell everything.”
Leonhardt said a little awkwardly and carefully washed her face while holding Yuria’s blonde hair together.
When the moderately warm water touched my face, a pleasant warmth came over me.
He carefully washed YuRia’s forehead, under her eyes, and even around her mouth and behind her ears.
It was then that I burst into tears.
It might be a little strange to think about it in this situation, but I don’t think I’ve ever lost to someone who was treated so dearly. It was different from being waited upon by a maid.
Like affection, something like that could be felt from Leonhardt’s touch.
That hot feeling faded when Leonhardt washed his face with fragrant soap.
“Be nice. It looks prettier.”
Leonhard smiled and said, then corrected Yuria’s posture.
A towel was placed on the chin of the bathtub, and Yuria lay down with her head on it.
The blonde hair that had flowed into the bathtub was heavy with the water and swayed.
As the man’s shadow fell over her, Yuria looked up with a tense face.
“Close your eyes.”
At Leonhardt’s words, Yuria slowly closed her eyelids.
A strong fruity scent emanated, and Leonhardt’s hand began to wash YuRia’s hair.
His thick fingers dug into YuRia’s hair and made bubbles. Leonhardt opened his mouth with his fingers gently wrapping around his scalp.
“Your Highness is here.”
It was a terrifying order.
How long are you here?
“No… Awesome!”
As YuRia tried to hit him, Leonhard lightly pulled his hair. It hurt a little.
“It’s too dangerous out there. There are all kinds of guys.”
YuRia wanted to ask what the hell was that word.
Originally, Yuria lived in a dangerous world. The imperial palace was dangerous, and the academy was also dangerous enough.
But suddenly it’s dangerous, so don’t go out.
“Because the election campaign outside now has become a little strange. Some guy messed with the election, so the current election is close to a melee. It changed to a way in which each individual is given one vote, and when they take it away, the vote is given. The person with the most votes automatically becomes the student president.”
“Who, who? Such an unconventional way… Maybe the professors will allow it.”
“Is the constellation only for students? Professors who used to say nonsense are now cautious. Anyway, because the impersonator spread the story that the Constellations would grant one wish if I became the student council president.”
Leonhardt gently rinsed Yuria’s hair with warm water.
“In addition, the tickets for each character are different. It’s just like 100 votes. Her life is being targeted, and it becomes a ticket.”
YuRia shivered slightly.
It was as if he was trying to kill himself.
If that was real, it seemed like the world was trying to torture him.
Maybe it’s all because Leonhard made it up? Yuria couldn’t shake off that suspicion.
But maybe it was also true. If you think about your life, it was always full of misfortune.
It might have happened again this time.
“On the other hand, it’s safe here.”
Leonhardt carefully grabbed Yuria’s hair and wrapped it in a towel.
The hand wasn’t awkward at all. you’re good at anything
“It’s done. I will dry it now.”
Leonhard wrapped his arms around YuRia’s back and tucked his hands under both of her thighs, then lifted YuRia up again.
With her hair fuzzy from being washed in warm water, Yuria wrapped her arms around his neck.
Her hair fluttered in the warm breeze Leonhard created.
All the while, he was hugging Yuria from behind.
I thought it was a skinny body, but stronger muscles than I thought touched my back.
After washing, the sweet scent continued to linger around.
I couldn’t help but fall asleep little by little.
It felt like I was sleeping all the time while I was alone, but at the same time I couldn’t sleep deeply at all.
It felt like I was sleeping all the time.
“Don’t run away.”
Leonhard whispered softly.
“Here you are. Then I’ll take care of everything.”
“how… ?”
YuRia shook her head slightly to drive away her drowsiness.
I was so tired that I really wanted to leave everything to him and go to sleep without thinking.
But that’s not like me. YuRia tried to gather her thoughts.
But what about me?
“I have a lot in mind, but you don’t have to worry about it. Her Highness will definitely become the student council president.”
Leonhardt grabbed Yuria’s slender wrist with one hand.
“The one with the most votes is, of course, Ludas. There are many people who want to follow Ludas right now. But this side is also good enough. Because I paid it back. The Constellations that are awake are almost on our side. There are others who don’t.”
Leonhardt penetrated through YuRia’s hair and kissed the nape of her neck.
Giving goosebumps at the touch of those lips, YuRia twitched her back.
“Oh… .”
Hearing Leonhardt laugh, YuRia tried to come to her senses.
But my head was getting more and more blank.
“Hwang Seong-ina, Uncle… ?”
“It is quiet so far. The imperial castle is cautious about the word constellation, and it seems that they are going to watch it for now if there are no major injuries or deaths. It seems that the impersonator wisely did not touch people outside the academy. And the dean, keep quiet for now.”
“That person… not really.”
Maybe he was really abandoned by his uncle.
I doubted it then, but can I really be sure now?
But is Leonhard telling the truth?
YuRia gasped.
I didn’t know whether to trust him or not.
But what if you don’t believe it? What if he’s really lying?
“How can I trust you?”
“I wish I could just trust you. Well, I can’t say it’s clear evidence, but Her Highness’s necklace was broken… That’s because I was beaten by Ludas. It’s not exactly Ludas, but it’s not important.”
“… I don’t know.”
Yuria cried.
All of Leonhardt’s words became suspicious, and I was scared.
He opened his mouth as he patted Yuria’s ear lobe.
“Will you be here?”
YuRia hesitated.
Leonhard’s eyes were too soft. as if to believe
Yuria looked at Leonhardt with tears in her eyes.
can i believe Really? But even if I didn’t trust him, it seemed that I had no choice.
“yes.”
YuRia nodded.
“Well done.”
Leonhardt grinned and hugged YuRia tightly as if in praise, and kissed her on the cheek.
The fact that I was praised by him filled me with a strange sense of satisfaction. A little, I was happy.
It’s really weird.
YuRia wiggled her fingers like a baby.
Rubbing the cheek against his shoulder, Leonhardt whispered compliments in his ear as if he had done well again.
It was also strangely good.
After a while, Leonhardt was standing by the doorway, speaking to YuRia as if to ask for it.
“I’ll leave something to eat, so eat it.”
YuRia nodded.
“yes.”
“Do not worry. I’ll be back soon.”
“yes. yes.”
“It’s really dangerous outside, so don’t go out.”
Leonhard asked again and closed the door.
Cheeky.
After the black door closed, Yuria shuddered slightly.
to be alone again I missed that warmth of Leonhardt in an instant.
‘yes?’
But did you hear the door lock just now?
.
.
.
Tring!
[Aware of Yuria’s tendency to depend. Progress (7/10)
Acquire 100pt plot points!]
[To proceed to the next stage, conditions must be met.]
I looked at the system window again for a moment and put it aside.
His disposition was rising smoothly, but for some reason, it felt like he was destroying a person, so he didn’t feel very good. There was a strange sense of satisfaction, though.
I looked back at the black door, which I had deliberately left open, then turned around and slowly walked upstairs.
