My Childhood Friends Who I Thought Abandoned Me Are Obsessed With Me - Chapter 68



68. There’s only one thing you’re hiding from me

Chapter 68. There’s only one thing you’re hiding from me

Alan noticed Ennis’ gaze as she stared at him and asked her.

“What is it?”

Ennis continued with a pitiful expression.

“Just. I feel like I’m thinking about something very pitiful.”

Alan made a hurt face at Ennis’ words.

“That’s right. They hit people with facts.”

Alan said, caressing her chin lazily.

He continued with a playful expression.

“From the looks of it, astrology, not magic, seems to fit better. What do you think?”

Alan’s prank made Ennis smile.

“All right. There are people who are more amazing than me when it comes to astrology.”

When she said that, her eyes didn’t leave Tail.

“Hmm.”

Alan, who had been watching Ennis like that, muttered softly.

“Isn’t it just missing?”

Isn’t that enough of a real tail guy, he has demonic charm?

Alan thought so and she turned her gaze back to Tail and Ethan.

* * *

After training.

“Heo, heo, heo.”

Tail caught his breath and lay down on the floor.

Although she’s dying like this, she hasn’t even drunk the potion yet, and she feels her body change.

‘Is this the effect of training?’

Tale muttered quietly to himself.

Two hours was still a long time.

Is it just long?

I also wanted to die like this.

After that, I had to sob until I drank the potion.

Nonetheless, one thing was certain: things were getting better than before.

In the past, even when I first started training, I thought this place might be more evil and barren than hell.

But now, a week has passed.

Ah, I just thought positively that this place would be like hell.

The biggest trigger that made me think that way was the performance.

It was absolutely ridiculous efficiency.

Instead of being driven all the way down the cliff, the body developed the tenacity, patience, and strength to climb up the cliff at the same time.

He did not stop running even while his body was staggering, so his mental strength became stronger.

Maybe that’s why, Tail seemed to know a little why he was talking about physical training.

The biggest reason is that.

‘To feel mana.’

Although he hadn’t mastered the practice yet, he could feel the mana better than before.

In other words, the skill ‘Let’s learn mana!’ Has been changed to be more efficient.

At some point, the evaluation of Alan was stuck in Tail’s head.

If only I had thought of Chloe’s escort knight as having great power.

Now, I have come to think of myself as an expert in martial arts, who built his skills on top of solid theory and logic, not just a rule of thumb.

Tale looked blankly at Alan.

‘That person is….’

Maybe he is the closest thing to a proper teacher.

‘I want to learn the sword.’

I had a vague idea that I wanted to learn how to use a sword properly from this person.

If you learn from someone who is a proper teacher and has many points to follow, wouldn’t it be possible to take a step forward with the image you want?

However, Tail shook his head and erased his thoughts.

‘Something like me.’

A commoner becomes the disciple of a knight of the 1st Knight Order, a royal knight?

“Heh heh.”

Tail smiled.

It was probably faster to get a title.

The Guard Knights were so strong that each one was like a one-man army.

High-ranking nobles were also beings with honor that could not be treated carelessly.

It would be even more so if this place is a comrade-in-arms state.

Even if it was the captain of the Guard Knights?

Thought that, Tail smiled lightly and slowly inhaled the potion.

* * *

After the special training, Alan went straight to somewhere.

The place where the familiar footsteps stopped was a big visit.

The soldiers on guard in front recognized him and hurriedly lowered their heads.

“Do you have a princess?”

“He is inside.”

Alan slowly knocked on the door at the sentry’s words.

Smart smart.

As soon as I knocked on the door, I heard a voice from inside.

-… Come on in.

The voice was faintly muffled.

After hearing the answer, Alan immediately opened the door.

Kikiiik-.

When the door opened, a cozy room appeared.

Inside it was a girl with blonde hair.

She had sparkling blue eyes and looked very sad.

Entering the room, Alan immediately closed the door and stepped forward to Chloe.

“How is your health?”

At his question, Chloe smiled lightly.

“It’s okay.”

That smile was like a delicate and neat lily swaying.

“Now my daily life is back to normal.”

Then she smiled.

She looked really calm like her usual Chloe.

But Alan, who escorted her near her, had already noticed.

That smile, that expression that doesn’t matter, are all acting.

That her heart was breaking down in real time.

He could tell.

But she won’t be able to show off anymore.

This disorganized inner world must have been constantly taught not to look any better than this.

Alan was so heartbroken by that fact.

She is a princess, but at the same time a little girl.

That’s why the weight of royalty she had to endure.

The weight of being a representative of the world the prime minister dreams of.

Because it wasn’t something a girl in her mid-to-late teens could endure.

“I’m glad.”

I’m glad.

Even though he knew it was all a mask, Alan could only answer that.

There is no certainty that Chloe will be truly happy just because she takes off her burden here.

Her people who supported her in the first place, as well as her subordinates, were not in a position to bear her burden.

Still, there was only one thing that only Alan could do.

“Today, the tail was the same as usual.”

Alan’s words brought her faded blue eyes to life.

“However, it seems that HP has increased a lot compared to before and mana management has improved.”

Chloe’s eyes sparkled.

Yes.

To explain Tail’s training routine once a day.

At that time, Chloe’s expression came alive.

Like a person wandering in the desert and barely drinking a sip of water.

Perhaps it is like a ray of light that I have been facing for a long time in a tunnel covered with deep darkness.

She took a breath at this little word.

To be honest, Alan didn’t know if it was the right thing to say, but what she knew for sure was that she was convinced that if she didn’t say it, Chloe would collapse completely.

So Alan reported everything related to Tails in her training routine, but there was one thing she didn’t report.

‘Wouldn’t it be better not to talk about that girl?’

She left out the very existence of Ennis Frill.

They both decided that there would be nothing good to say in a situation where they had a crush on Tail.

“That’s why you seem to be a bit more skilled than Ethan.”

“I see.”

The conversation continued while laughing, but strangely, Chloe’s expression today was subtly different from usual.

What can I say?

He seemed to have something to say, his mouth itching.

However, that appearance strangely made Alan uneasy.

It was vague anxiety.

For some reason, it was such an animal feeling that the moment that word came out, I felt like I was going to get very tired.

At that time, Chloe’s mouth opened.

“Sir Allan.”

“Yes.”

Chloe smiled as usual.

“There is something I heard from the student council members today.”

Her smile deepened.

“Alan. Is there just one thing you’re hiding from me?”

Her softly folded eyes flashed with a blue light.

At the same time, Alan had a bitter feeling.

This was life.

At the same time, it was a life he had never experienced before.

When the sword came to the end of her throat. When faced with an absolute force that can never be defeated. When she felt all her own thoughts pierced.

It was a sensation I had never felt before.

‘Ah.’

Then Alan noticed when he felt this sensation.

“Alan. Do you have anything to say to your mother?”

From noble mtl dot com

Yes.

This was around the age of eight. While her mother was alive.

It was the feeling she felt when she was caught and questioned for conniving at her father’s behavior, who gambled without her mother’s knowledge.

Surely my mother was smiling, but the same murderous thing was emanating from her eyes.

“Tell me the right way so my mom won’t get angry.”

At the time, my mother was obviously trying to catch a mouse, but it felt like she pulled up her patience to the end and endured it.

And at the same time, my father, who saw it, said.

“Alan. If she wants to survive, she’s not lying to her mother.”

I still couldn’t forget my father’s trembling hand, which had already been caught and beaten and had a bluish bruise on his forehead.

“Take note. It’s going to get caught anyway, so just tell the truth. Stop acting like this father.”

My father seemed to have shed tears after saying that.

Alan had no way of knowing, but she was certain.

That this is a form of murder that comes out when a woman who has instinctively become ferocious grabs her man like a mouse.

Alan’s back broke into a cold sweat.

Seeing Chloe glow in her eyes, Alan sensed that something had gone terribly wrong.
