Chapter 89
Chapter 89
“…What? But you already know me.”
“But I wondered if I’d feel better when I see you, just like when I eat chocolate when I’m sad.”
He was unfamiliar with himself, who, while not eating chocolate, was making excuses in front of Luciel like that. Kizef smiled bitterly and looked at her face.
“…Kizef? What happened?”
Luciel’s heart ached for some reason. Why is he, who always looked strong, so weak today?
“……I just remembered a bad memory after a long time.”
Kizef, who dropped his gaze, sat with his back on the chair in front of Luciel. Without asking, Luciel silently listened and soon Kizef’s lips opened again.
“I don’t like being catered by servants.”
“Ah…Yes. I heard it.”
Kizef was reluctant to be catered for, so Luciel knew that he kept the number of people who could help him to a minimum.
‘Did you have any quarrels with Bessie or Rose?’
Luciel decided to listen quietly.
Kizef spoke again with a dark face.
“I saw ghosts when I was young. The dead nanny who raised me touched me and her hand was terribly cold. Her voice was wet and her appearance was grotesque and terrifying.”
It was a difficult task for a young child to bear. Luciel bit her lips.
That’s why you were so reluctant of the servants, maybe that’s the reason he has an unknown dark corner.
“…The first time I confided such a thing to the doctor, he reported to my parents that I had a mental problem. I was even more afraid that no one would believe me. I was afraid I would be alone forever, just like that. So after that, I didn’t tell anyone about it.”
How hard and painful would that be?
Luciel couldn’t say anything to Kizef’s confession. Instead, she approached him and hugged him tightly. However, it was more like Luciel was the one being hugged in Kizef’s wide arms.
The warmth of the comfort that the little cotton ball-like child gave him put a smile on Kizef’s lips.
“It was really bad for the doctor to do things like that. The Bellstein family is not like that. They would have believed Kizef.”
Tears welled up in her eyes.
“… I know. But at that time, I lacked judgment. And after that, it became more comfortable to just handle it on my own.”
“…That’s stupid. Why were you so nice?”
Kizef was relieved in the cozy embrace Luciel had given him. He closed his eyes and buried his nose in the child’s silver hair.
The beginning was just a contract marriage to protect Bellstein. It was as if the wall that had been hardened and toughened throughout the years had collapsed in an instant.
Only in front of Luciel.
She was a magical child with a harmless face that made people defenseless in an instant.
He was dizzy with the sweet and fragrant scent coming from her. Even though he hates sweets, he strangely doesn’t hate the sweet scent of Luciel.
No, rather it made him at ease, so he just wanted to fall asleep like this.
While Kizef felt such a brief moment of serenity, Luciel sniffed her nose. Her little shoulder trembled, and Kizef said with a little smile.
“It’s okay. I can’t see them anymore. So don’t cry.”
But the moment when tears fell from Luciel’s sparkling eyes. Something blue shimmered in the air near her heart and fell.
He saw it clearly with his two eyes.
This…It was a blue-colored jewel.
Kizef held the sapphire that Luciel had created, with a stir in his eyes.
“…you just.”
She was a rabbit-like little girl with a sniffling nose and eyes that were red from crying. Luciel made only strange noises because of her voice, which was clogged by her crying.
“…This is my secret.”
Kizef blinked his eyes a few times, as if in disbelief.
“You really made it? This jewel?”
Luciel nodded her head.
“…I can’t believe it. How can this happen?”
Luciel wiped away her tears and barely smoothed her lips.
“Crystal Fairy. I am the bloodline of a fairy who makes jewelry with strong emotions.”
“Wait…That’s why your eyes are so bright like that?”
“Yes.”
Luciel nodded her head. She then calmly brought out the stories she had buried for a long time, the stories she hadn’t told anyone.
“Because jewelry eyes are the proof I’m a fairy. My sister also had jewelry like-eyes. Seeing this, Count Orbia bought me and my sister. It was to make us slaves who make jewelry.….”
“A slave?”
“He locked us up and forced us to make jewels.”
“Did such a subhuman such as that exist?… It’s disgusting.”
“Sister died and he reached out to me as well, so I ran away.”
“……”
As he grew stiffer and stiffer, he felt his limits burst.
Clench.
Kizef clenched his fists. He had terribly cold eyes.
He felt his head spinning. An overwhelming amount of mana was released and his bloodthirst was all over the place. Luciel grabbed his collar because of the powerful mana that seemed to give her goosebumps.
“Kizef?”
He answered in a hoarse voice.
“Luciel. Where is Count Orbia?”
“…Perhaps he will be in the capital.”
Kizef gently released Luciel from his arms. There was something intense like the devil in his eyes.
“…I will take care of him with my own hands.”
“Wait a minute, Kizef. Please calm down.”
“I will kill him right now. It’s not that difficult for me.”
“…Don’t do that. Kizef.”
Luciel shook her head and hugged him from behind. Kizef, who was running to go out, looked back at Luciel.
“Why? Don’t you want revenge?”
“I want it. I will kill him with my own hands. That’s why I’m learning magic.”
“He’s not worthy of getting dirty blood on your hands, nor is he worthy of being kept alive. Luciel.”
She smiled faintly. Luciel was happy he heard her little story and that he was angry like this for her sake.
‘Kizef is kind.’
“Thanks.”
“What? What are you talking about.”
“You got angry like this. So I’m very happy. I’ve never had anyone to help me. I was always alone like Kizef.”
Kizef’s hand, which had calmed down at Luciel’s words, ruffled her hair. At that moment, her mana flickered. Even Kizef was surprised by the huge mana and swallowed his breath for an instant.
Torolong, torolong!
Joy, happiness, sadness, affection…
Luciel started making colorful jewels. It was the first time in her life she did not hide it and made a lot of jewelry in front of someone.
Tuk.Tuk.Tuk.
The jewels were pouring out.
To the point where she can’t handle it…….
Kizef felt like he was in a dream when he saw this scene unfolding in front of his eyes.
“Beautiful.”
His eyes, which had been sharp all the time, were now smoothed and curved beautifully. His pale blonde hair shone tens of times more brilliantly than topaz.
It was beautiful, and the same was so for Luciel.
“Do you still dislike jewels?”
“Yes. I think I like the girl who makes jewel more than them.”
His words wrapped around her ears as softly as a fluffy whipped cream cake.
“Well, that doesn’t work. If you like me because I’m a Crystal Fairy…”
Kizef said, stroking her blushing pink cheeks,
“Do I look like that type of person?”
Luciel gently shook her head.
“Little fool. Keep that in mind.”
“……”
“It doesn’t matter to me if you make jewels or flowers.”
“Then?”
“The important thing is that I like a happy-go-lucky, little rabbit that likes sweet things and sends strange letters.”
He poked his head against Luciel’s forehead and lightly bumped it.
“…What is that.”
“What do you mean, Luciel? That’s you.”
“……”
“Don’t even think about running away. If you get out of my sight, I will chase after you with our wedding ring.”
Kizef’s lips fell gently on the back of Luciel’s hand. Her face burned hot.
He smiled playfully and raised his mouth.
I felt like I could not move with his brutal, mischievous smile and deep gaze.
“……”
“You don’t have an answer?”
“I don’t know.”
“You’ve been trying to avoid me in order to hide a secret. You don’t have to do that anymore.”
Keith giggled, and Luciel had her heart pounding at such a surprising scene.
Paah.
Torolong!
The jewel that Luciel made with her excitement was a pink, clear and transparent jewel, it was a Spinel.
“It’s beautiful. Like your eyes.”
“……”
Luciel made pink spinel one after another.
“What emotion did you create this with?”
“You don’t have to know.”
Luciel shouted like a chick.
“You mean, these jewels you just made were from an emotion you felt because of me?”
He looked down at Luciel, stroking his chin with curious eyes. Luciel felt naked at his behavior.
“Don’t interpret each of those things!”
She was furious and her face flushed.
“It’s embarrassing. You are too mean.”
“Sorry. I won’t bother you anymore.”
It was fun to see such a transparent reaction, but if he picks on her more, it seemed like Luciel would really cry.
Obviously, the atmosphere between the two of them felt a little different. Should he say it became softer?
‘I’ll have to tell Raven as well.’
Kizef has been holding him down these days, but he might have reached his limit now.
I should tell Luciel before he pops out. So as not to surprise her.
It was time for Kizef to open his mouth again, to reveal the story of the reaper to Luciel,
A small, white hand tapped Kizef’s hand.
“Kizef, can you help me organize this?”
Emerald, sapphire, topaz, peridot, and even a pink new gemstone, spinel. The floor in the room, filled with jewels, brightly sparkled.
“Can I organize them by type?”
“Yes.”
“Leave it to me.”
Having said that, Kizef used magic.
“Fly.”
