25. Kabedon?
“I, I see, so that’s how it is…”
Alex-sama, whose face had turned red, groaned.
I had to prove to Elena that he loved me.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t persuade His Highness Mikhail.
It was troublesome.
“As Elena said, Mikhail has a clear boundary between public and personal affairs. So, even if we do that, the result might not be much…”
Said Alex-sama.
I stared into Alex-sama’s blue eyes. His eyes, which were the color of sapphires, seemed upset.
“But, I think it’s worth the effort. Maybe His Highness Mikhail misunderstood something. Therefore, we might be able to persuade him.”
“That’s true, but…”
“Alex-sama, are you against the idea because you’re embarrassed?”
Alex-sama immediately shook his head.
…Bullseye.
I understood his bashfulness well, but we had no other choice.
What should we do?
“What do couples usually do, then…?”
I thought about it earlier, and thought about kissing…
“…Uh, for example, how about we kiss?”
Alex-sama arrived at the same conclusion as I.
We stared at each other. I was looking at Alex-sama’s red lips, and he was looking at mine.
Then, as our faces turned red, we both averted our gazes.
“L, let’s table that.”
Alex-sama said in a hurry.
I nodded, but then shook head.
“B, being honest, I think we should do it… Besides, as long as it’s with Your Highness, I wouldn’t mind being kissed…”
“…R, really?”
“Yes, how do I say this—uh, gladly? Or, it’s alright?”
I whispered to Alex-sama in a small voice.
I felt like I had just said something utterly embarrassing. My face must had been scarlet.
Alex-sama silently stood from the chair and took my hand.
“A, Alex-sama?”
“Alisa should stand up, too…”
Alex-sama gently said that. As I quietly stood, Alex-sama pulled my hand and took me to the wall by the window.
While my back was against the wall, Alex-sama faced me.
“U, uh?”
“After what Alisa said, I can’t help but do it.”
Alex-sama placed his hand against the wall and closed the distance between us.
I was thrilled.
Is this the so-called ‘kabedon’—!?
It was a scene that sometimes appeared in romance novels that I often read in the library of the royal capital.
In those novels, a domineering male lead would approach the heroine…
His Highness’ cheeks were dyed red. He was shy. He wasn’t domineering at all.
Alex-sama was so cute… and at the same time, cool.
“Do as you like.”
As I smiled, Alex-sama nodded, and gently tried to cover my lips with his own…
***T/N: Hahaha damn, these two keeps ichaichaing every chapter…
