The Wolf Lord's Lady

Chapter 26.3: You and Mine, the Alcohol (3)

And yet, Kaid seemed to not understand, his face blank while whispering out a “Haaa?”

“What I mean is, it’s fine to be that way in private, but you must not do or say such adorable things in public. Although the issue of becoming family is important, falling in love is another matter. If you were at ease doing such adorable things, it wouldn’t be strange for people who were already crazy for you to come forward.”

“No, this… I never thought that the day would come where my lady would lecture me about this issue. My lady, I’m not a child, I am a man.”

“That’s why I said, regardless if you are a man or woman, when it’s about someone you love, you still have to be modest in your expression of your love. If something bad happens because of one’s excessive actions of love, wouldn’t it be too late? Like in my case, I seem to go crazy for you because you’re so adorable. I even unconsciously want to embrace you, but I choose not to do it in the case you scold me for being improper. Right Izador, don’t you think so too?”

Kaid raised his face in surprise when I turned to Izador, who had been silently listening to me.

“For you to remember my existence, it’s an honor my lady.”

After saying something as if he had been forced, Izador turned his gaze towards Kaid, the two of them sharing a strange look. I was surprised that Kaid, who had received his gaze, silently nodded as if he understood completely.

“Kaid, you really have to give it your all when taking care of her!”

“… I know.”

“It’s fine for you to be blushing with ‘you were there!?’ while forgetting my existence, but even in the situation when you want people to remember you, how could the lady be so natural about it!? No matter how much I think about it, this is not normal!”

“I know!”

“It’s not so bad if it were us, but even my attendants who know nothing have said that somehow, when continuously being stared at by the lady, they become flushed and get a weird feeling! After all she is the Young lady of Laius! Nevertheless the princess who has been sheltered from the world, her captivating gaze is too much for one to handle!”

“I know it!”

“Is it really okay for her to come out from Laius !?”

“I don’t know!”

Kaid who screamed in despair, stared at me again with a great spirit. I felt the strength of Kaid’s grip around my hand get stronger.

“My lady”

“Y-Yes?”

“After all this, please look at me”

Even though Kaid had a face of determination, his body and mind seemed to have tensed up before me. What he just said was something that was hard to understand, because I thought that no matter how hard I try, it would be difficult for me to not look at him. But now, it seems like everything turned out as I wanted, but why is it suddenly alright for me to look? I don’t quite understand, but since I now have permission from Kaid, a new wave of emotion soon overrode my previous feelings of suspicion.

“Kaid, I’m happy”

“Umm… so, that. Well, please only look at me”

“But I intend to always only look at you…. You should know how much I love you, so there’s no way I would look away”

Have I done something that made him anxious? While I was trying to think back on my own actions, Izador jumped in between us.

“My lady, please stop it already! Kaid is already dying!”

“Eh!?”

“Let me tell you on my own, the straying arrows are still quite dangerous even for me who get used to playing around. So it’s impossible for Kaid, who has been continuously receiving them directly, to be unaffected! I beg you, Could you please go easy on him ?!”

“Ab-about what!?”

“About love!”

I spontaneously yelled at his surprising reply.

“It’s impossible! Because I like Kaid so much!”

After thinking about it later, I yelled such an embarrassing line with all my might! Most likely it was because I had unknowingly become drunk by the smell of alcohol that had filled the whole room. Were Kaid and Izador, who both admitted to being strong drinkers, also quite drunk? The scent of alcohol that filled the room must’ve been incredibly strong because even after the drinking part was over, I was still giddy.

One of the strange things is, the following days after, I often saw the appearance of Kaid and Caron discussing something together. Furthermore, I think the strangest thing is how those discussions mostly ended up with both of them being in a troubled state.
