Reincarnated Young Lady Aims to Be an AdventurerVolume 3 Chapter 55
Dancing amidst the snow in the moonlight
ăŒ
When I just stared stunned, His Majestyâs brows wrinkled. He got up and stripped the hood covering my head.
As I looked up at His Majesty Ghilane, who was looking down on me, I felt that he is a bit stronger than he was in the previous life⊠When he was a king.
His eyes narrowed, putting his right hand near my throat, and removed the hook of the cloak, stripping it off, and throwing it behind me.
I was suddenly exposed to the open air and I shivered. His Majesty spreads his cloak and pulls me in his bosom.
Then⊠I am completely wrapped, and adding the height difference on top of that, my vision gets completely dark. I struggled to look upward. And when I finally got my head out, I saw his blue eyes staring right at me.
âYour Majesty is too overwhelming!â
âReally?â
His Majesty is 24-year-old⊠And he still wants me as a weapon, just like in the previous life, and with the same look he had back then. Or not? It would seem that his long silver hair, that had helped to create a cold atmosphere, is cut short. Also, on the left side of his forehead is a scar, running from his temple to the bottom of his ear. There was no such thing before. I reach out gently.
âWhatâs up with this?â
ââŠI was assaulted by my younger brother in my sleep.â
Family⊠BetrayalâŠ
My chest suddenly feels tight.
ââŠDid you leave it on purpose?â
âNo. Simply, nobody did anything.â
âWhatâs with that? Itâs very red! It should still hurt!â
As I stood on my toes and tried to cover the wound with my hand, His Majesty crouched down and held me up in his left arm.
I covered the wound completely with my right hand, and chanted in my mind, âpain pain fly away! Fly to the one who assaulted His Majesty.â
Iâm at puberty already, and chanting the spell out loud feels a bit embarrassingâŠ
My right hand glows gently, and when I slowly release it from the scar, it gets much thinner, and I gently trace it.
âSeraâŠâ
âSome time has passed, so a little bit of the scar remains. Really now! If the wound was shifted by just 1 cm, you would be blind! Why didnât you show it to a healing magician?â
ââŠThey canât do much to me who has too much magic power. It is only Sera who can heal my wounds without hesitation. The castleâs healers will at best worsen the wound.â
Thatâs how it isâŠ
âDonât look like that. Do you think I can be done in so easily?â
His Majesty gently wraps his right hand on my face.
âFrom now on⊠If you get hurt, please come to me right away.â
His Majesty gives a gentle smile.
âIf thatâs what Sera wants.â
The music from below has changed from an uptempo tune to a slow ballad.
âThatâs right, the dance.â
âHuh? Your Majesty, why did you come to this place? Thatâs right! You succeeded the throne, right? Congratulations!â
âHmmm, thank you for the heartfelt congratulation. But I came here just to dance with Sera.â
âHuh?â
âWhy should I give up Seraâs first dance to another man?â
He gently put me down and took my hand, his other hand around my waist. His Majesty makes gentle steps in tune to the slow music. The snow on the places he walked instantly melts. The hem of my black and white skirt spreads out.
Just the two of us are in the silvery world under the moonlight, with the snowflakes fluttering around.
Although my body moves naturally by following His Majestyâs lead, I canât help but ask Lu for assistance, but Lu is in the middle of a talk with Ash and takes no notice of me.
âYouâre wearing it⊠What I gave you. Were you injured before wearing this necklace, or after?â
âBefore. It was before I became the Emperor. After wearing this necklace⊠There no longer was any great danger.â
âThatâs goodâŠâŠâ
I take a deep breath.
âDo you know what the act of giving the opposite sex magical gifts, like the one Iâm wearing, signifies?â
What it signifies? I only have a bad feeling about this.
âProposal.â
âEeeeh!!!!â
âI received a proposal from Sera! My answer is, of course, yes.â
âNo, no! I wasnât aware of that!!!â
As I turned red and flustered, His Majesty looked up and laughed. Like a mischievous child.
Thatâs good. His Majestyâs heart is not as frozen as it was in the previous life. My head, with the 10-cm heel I wore, is exactly at His Majestyâs chest, and when I gently put my ears on his chest, I can hear heartbeatsâŠâŠ Iâm relieved.
While Iâm doing that, His Majesty stopped his leg, hugged me, and wrapped me around his arms, and put his head near my ear.
âSera, there is still some time left before the promised dayâŠâŠ But do you want to come with me right away?â
âEhâŠâŠ!â
âI will relieve you of everything that distressed you. Give yourself to me.â
âŠâŠâŠThe Majesty, through Ash, knows exactly what I am through.
Once again, this person tries to prepare a place for me to stay.
Such a gentle person, why wonât everyone help him?
âYour Majesty⊠Thank you⊠But⊠Iâm still fine. I donât have the courage to throw everything here in Judor awayâŠâ
Unlike in my previous life. Am I becoming weaker? I grab his clothes, which are right in front of me.
-fuuu-
His Majesty sighed right above my head.
He takes my arm and dances again. Slowly, slowly.
âSera, I thought Iâd give you something, but didnât you already have the best ranked plate from the Earl and Trundle?â
I nodded.
He pulled something out of his neck again. These are⊠Plates. Platinum.
His Majesty carefully removed one and offered it to me. Intense blue light shone, and was sucked into the plate.
âTake this.â
I canât do that! Plates are the second most important things after oneâs life! And the set of two, they must only be separated after the owner dies.
âNo! Donât! The plates arenât just for His Majesty Ghilane! They are also for your family!â
âI donât have a family.â
Ah⊠Iâve said something heedless. The Imperial family have been killed, he killed them, and survived. Ghilane is able to survive only with blood. A lonely person, both before and this time. His loneliness, I know of it.
I am the only one who can in this world.
âBut, donât I have Sera? A splendid fiancee.â
âŠâŠDoes he want to collect my ashes after I died? Only my family has that right, right?
His Majesty swiftly takes my gold plate out from my neck. He unhooked the chain, and sandwiched his plate between the two plates that belonged to me.
The weight on my neck feels heavy.
He squeezed all three together, and His Majestyâs wind magic wraps my body like a veil.
His life⊠has been entrusted to me.
Reaching this point, itâs not so stupid to not be aware that I am âspecialâ to His Majesty Ghilane.
Ah⊠I⊠Iâm the only one who can eternally, sincerely, be your ally. Even if I canât help much, I swear to be by your side.
If there is a future where I live longer, Iâll be sure to find your body.
His Majesty grabbed my shoulders and looked into my eyes.
âSerafiona⊠Iâll wait for a while longer, but not more than two years. However, if Sera is hurt again before that, I will take you with me, even forcefully if I must.â
ââŠâŠâŠâŠâ
âI canât use healing magic. I canât heal like Sera does. Every time my one and only Sera gets hurt, I feel helpless.â
He bends his waist and adjusts his eyes to mine.
âCall me before you get hurt, okay?â
My heart is filled with Ghilaneâs earnest feelings. My tears are falling.
I have to hold it in!
I bit my lips.
He opened his eyes wide and hugged me, his hands wrapping around me tightened. His big hands pat my head and I face up. Grandmotherâs hair clip from this morning clicks, and my black hair dances in the wind.
ââŠCry only for me,â
Ghilane gently kisses my tears.
ââŠâŠAs I would, only for youâ
And just like that, as if to cover me, he lands a kiss on my lips.
First dance to first kiss.
His bittersweet magic flows into my body once again.
