In the Garden
Noel happily sat on the grass.
She hugged the Asmodius Sword like it was a precious treasure. ๐
Noel: "Finally... my training is over!" ๐
Just thenโ
Adam: "Hii." ๐
Noel looked up.
Noel: "Oh my god, Adam!" ๐
She quickly sat properly.
Noel: "How are you, man?" ๐
Adam: "Good." ๐
He sat beside her.
Adam: "You know..."
"I read all the BL novels in the library."
"They are so exciting!" ๐
Noel immediately smiled.
Noel: "Right?!"
"I knew it!" ๐
The two of them nodded seriously like they discovered something important.
At that moment, Elda entered the garden.
She looked at them sitting on the grass.
Elda: "What are you two doing on the ground?" ๐
Noel: "Relaxing!" ๐
"Come sit with us, sis."
Elda sighed.
She knew Noel wouldn't stop asking until she agreed.
Elda: "Fine..." ๐
She sat down.
Noel: "What happened?" ๐
Elda crossed her arms.
Elda: "I finally found the person behind Ashley's spy incident." ๐
Adam looked interested.
Adam: "Oh? Who is it, sis?" ๐
Even though Adam and Elda were the same age, he called her "sis" because she was the Queen and his brother's wife.
Elda: "She's a Beta from the Hamburg Kingdom."
"Her name is Charmy."
"But she currently lives near the border of the Rhinovia Kingdom." ๐
Noel's eyes sparkled.
Noel: "Wow..."
"Such detailed information!"
"You're the best, sis!" ๐
Elda smiled slightly.
Then she looked at Noel.
Elda: "Anyway, Noel..." ๐
Noel: "Yeah?" ๐
Elda: "You said you didn't studied that much , right?" ๐
Noel: "Yeah." ๐
Elda: "Then how much did you studied?" ๐
Adam tilted his head.
Adam: "Actually, you look pretty intelligent." ๐
Noel laughed.
Noel: "Don't flatter me, man." ๐
She lightly hit Adam's arm.
Adam: "AHHH!" ๐ค
Noel immediately panicked.
Noel: "Oh my god! I'm sorry!" ๐ฑ
Adam: "It's okay..." ๐
(Man... she's stronger than before.) ๐ฑ
Elda looked curious.
Elda: "So?" ๐
Noel: "I studied until high school, sis." ๐
Elda: "After that?" ๐
Noel's smile slowly faded.
Noel: "Oh..."
"I stopped studying."
"When my parents died..."
"They didn't have much money either."
"Actually, I was already planning to stop before that..."
"But after they died, it became the reason I completely stopped." ๐ค
The garden became silent.
Elda and Adam looked at Noel.
๐๐
They never expected such a simple answer to carry so much pain.
