_______________________________________________________________
The character of Nocton Edgar was unusual, for someone would say he wasn’t the main character.
I went to think of a little boy whose face was blushed by a small favor, who had no words and couldn’t express emotions well.
At first, I didn’t even realize his personality was bad because he smiled mildly with a pretty face.
Strictly speaking, he was ignoring his true nature.
“Oh, you fell down.”
“Didn’t you just let go of your hand on purpose?”
“I’ve been losing my grip lately. I’m sorry.”
It’s either.
“Will you hold that for me?”
“You’re not talking about that pile of books with fifteen copies of the suit tied up, are you?”
“That’s what you’re looking. I’m not feeling well, so I asked you.”
It’s either.
“You want me to get you a what?”
“The 9 centimeters mantis in the window frame. I want to go and see it.”
“….I’d rather catch the trolls.”
Even though the same thing happened frequently, I was charmed by his smiling face and didn’t even realize I was played.
And Nocton Edgar was so noble that even the word “go out” is also an elegant twist.
I didn’t get it.
After a few months, he showed his true colors.
It was his birthday so I worked hard to pick a gift for him—Later, it turned out it wasn’t his birthday. I was fooled by the suggestion his family would not give him a birthday party.
I didn’t know what he would like, but I thought of the empty sleeves of his outfit, so I prepared a cuff button.
It was a button with a black diamond in it.
I saw a smoky silver lining inside when the magic treatment was done. There was a lotus blossom inside and it was pretty like an aurora in the night sky. I was thinking about whether to have it myself or gave it to him.
“It’ll go well with you, Nocton!”
After watching the cuff I had brought for him, Nocton had a strange expression on his face.
It was originally difficult to the read the boy’s emotions, but his expression was unrecognizable that day.
But considering what’s going to happen next, Nocton Edgar may be very clever and Roa Valrose might have thought he was uninterested.
The smiling Nocton lifted up the cuff I gave him.
“Sorry, my hand slipped.”
He dropped it into the lake in the garden.
What happened just now?
I was not immediately aware of the absurdity of the hard-won cuff button sinking into the lake.
I’m just looking at Nocton with a blank face because there’s too much gap between the Nocton Edgar in my head and his behavior right now.
Then, he smiled to me, “Will you pick it up?”
It’s foolish to think of it a few times, but it was only then the smile looked like a smile of the devil, not the angel.
I was deeply mistaken about Nocton Edgar, the first impression of good was broken and the truth came to me.
✴️✴️✴️
Ever since inviting Roa Valrose, Nocton’s feelings have been elated.
It was mysterious that he couldn’t feel the child’s feelings, so he started calling her to his mansion.
Then, the iron walls of his heart were shattered and the initial purpose was forgotten.
The fact that she is a child, not an adult, and she is honest enough to show her emotions through her facial expressions also loosened his guard.
The days of laughing wholeheartedly went on, and when he realized it, Nocton thought her mind had become a little bit mere dangerous.
Close to man, much less a hypnotic, who comes to the mansion.
Hypnosis, yes … hypnosis.
Roa Valrose did not go in and out of the mansion everyday because she cared about him.
Clearly hypnotized, she’s just doing what he says.
He woke up as if he had been covered in cold water.
He could not understand it himself, but he had an unfair sense of betrayal.
He began to subtly mix malice into his behavior.
He knocked over his cup of tea, asked too much, and ruined her clothes. How far can his hypnosis endure?
However, she was constantly hypnotized and stupid.
With a smile on her face, without a hint of hate, she didn’t lose her patience.
Although he knew it was only because of his hypnosis that Valrose come to him, he became overwhelmed with emotion.
Eventually, he decided to tell Valrose to stop visiting the mansion.
Even though it didn’t work out.
“Next week, don’t come to the mansion.”
“Nocton? Why? What’s going on next week?”
“Not just next week….”
He, who was going to tell her not to come for the rest of her life, could not finish his speech when he saw her crying face.
The cunning tongue betrayed its master and uttered a different word.
“It’s my birthday.”
“Really? Congratulations, Nocton! But why I can’t come? Don’t tell me … you’re ashamed of me?”
“It’s not like that. It’s just … yeah, Valrose, you know the story. That I am a child born of Mother’s affair. It’s a ridiculous rumor, but there are people who are stupid enough to believe it.”
He kept on talking like an excuse.
“The people of the Duke’s family don’t like me either.”
“That’s too much….”
“I don’t think I can do it right now because I’m undermining Edgar’s reputation. In other words, it’s the same as Edgar. After some time, I’ll admit it and accept it. But I don’t want to draw attention until that day.”
Can you understand that, Valrose? Nocton smiled affectionately as usual. Just like his father did, curled his eyes and put warmth in there, as it sees the person he loves the most in this world.
“Don’t worry, Nocton! Just trust me!”
But Valrose rushed out without even looking at Nocton’s smile.
Somehow, an ominous premonition came to him.
And one day of the following week.
“I had a hard time saving it.”
Laughing triumphantly, Valrose presented him with a black box.
It seemed so strange to see her small palm opening a little bit, he was startled but couldn’t doubt her heart.
Inside the box was a cuff button.
Black diamond. In the inside, light purple smoke like Nocton’s eyes was floating like an aurora borealis.
“Maybe because it looks like your eyes, it’s the prettiest cuff I’ve ever seen! It’ll go well with you, Nocton!”
His heart fluttered. It felt strange, as if there are no soup for the meal.
At that moment, his feelings were not clear enough.
But when his heart beats, he felt so upset, it’s his first time feeling something like this.
He was angry.
Yeah, well, why don’t you bring me a light purple cuff?
Valrose really had no idea.
The purple color was the color he hates the most.
However, he could not hid his feelings, and he could feel them.
It’s really dangerous now.
He received the cuff button and thanked Valrose.
Then, with a fake smile, he dropped the button into the lake.
Today the gate was met at the unexpected news of the arrival of Roa Valrose, but it was a good thing now.
Dropping it into the lake rather than the carpet will hurt her more.
Valrose’s face was pale and his heart was not good either.
But an 11-years-old boy could laugh under any circumstances.
“Will you pick it up?”
Valrose’s face was distorted when she heard his gentle voice.
He has never seen her like this before.
She’s going to cry.
Roa Valrose always laughed and didn’t get angry. The eyes were bright and sometimes silly, even though they were fierce.
Even if he can’t feel her mind, he can imagine how a person will react to such a situation.
It would be a little grievous to see her tears, but it was better.
It took a shock to break the hypnosis, and perhaps the hypnosis was gone. But even if you look at it now, Nocton couldn’t get closer to Valrose.
Because caring for someone was like a poison to him.
But now it’s over.
With or without hypnosis, she will completely out of it and will never see the Duke of Edgar again.
The time they spent together would be overshadowed with hatred and anger, but even that will be forgotten in time.
He can feel the emptiness inside his heart.
It’s all right. It’ll be alright. Everything is—
“Yes, I can’t believe you dropped it.”
At the cold voice of the moment, Nocton’s mouth widened.
What?
The gentle child has gone and the voice and facial expression of Roa Valrose were icy.
The eyes, which was wet after being told not to come next week, is now dry without a bite.
While Nocton became perplexed, Valrose took off her outer garment.
And as soon as he realized it, he heard the sound of water and she fell into the lake.
“Wait—!”
The late sound was buried in the sound of water splashing.
The paled Nocton unwrapped his shoes without even thinking of calling the employees.
Taking off his shoes as though he had been torn apart after a few futile attempts, he rushed to the shore of the lake.
But before he can throw himself at the water, something popped out of the lake.
A red haired girl with water all over her body.
It was a chilly day, but the sun was still strong so the wet face of Roa Valrose was shining brightly.
Her thick hair is wet, her body is dripping with water, and her green eyes are burning with rage.
Even before jumping into the lake, her whole body was already wet, but Nocton only stared blankly, unable to say any complaints.
He had a strange feeling that was beyond description.
Then Valrose, who came out off the lake, smiled.
“I picked it up, take it.”
The girl threw the cuff button into Nocton’s chest. The button was thrown out of force against the body, and it went down to the lake road, clearly not worth the effort.
The only thing she did while getting wet was to make Nocton Edgar like a wet mouse.
Nevertheless, her face was full of satisfaction.
“I’m sorry, too, my hands have slipped.”
Valrose walked away from the mansion with a grand step.
Since then, Nocton has learned several facts.
He didn’t know about Valrose as much as she didn’t know about him, and Valrose, who seemed innocent, actually has a personality that needs to give back what she had received.
And he realized what the real intention behind his obsessive heart when he tried to push Valrose away.
Despite all of this, the moment Valrose reappeared, perhaps from that moment … Nocton hoped that the hypnosis on the name of Roa Valrose wouldn’t smoked straps that might left or disappeared.
✴️✴️✴️
Nevertheless, the reality has not changed.
I was trying to get acquainted with him not just because I wanted to get closer to a pretty gently boy.
Although, I had given up on having Nocton neatly, his personality confirmed that I need to build a superficial relationship.
I really, really felt like he was going to burn me to death if something happened.
