The hero proposed to me 15

Ch 15🦋

Stupid? Stupid? Just say no.

What's so hard about it that you live with it all the time?

Even after hearing my harsh criticism, my sister laughed instead of getting angry. If you ask me to change my duty number since I was a student, I can't say a word of hate. My sister, who lived her life like a fool listening to all kinds of billion won, ended her life in a fire accident.

At first, I escaped safely, but when I heard there were people trapped, I ran back and forth.

I was stunned to hear the survivor. If she had saved her life, she would have stayed still, and her sister, who foolishly ran into the fire scene, saved the lives of more than 10 people.

-Some of them were elderly, and some were only five-year-old. To those who weep for joy when their precious family is back.

I couldn't even laugh at the back.

After saving so many people, my sister couldn't get out of the huge flames.

On her phone, which was found belatedly, only messages that she had not sent remained intact.

-I don't think I can go back home. I'm sorry.

What's the point of my entry into this book?

I don't know it. There's no me over there already.

However, one thing I realized is that I don't want to have the same regret again.

"Family."

"Yes. Family. My sister is a precious family."

Just as Clara cares for me instead of her lost brother, I was also looking for traces of my sister who died from Clara.

If I had known it would be like this, I would have asked my sister why she was so stupid.I wouldn't have been mean.

"I didn't mean to cry."

Tears rolled down my cheeks before I knew it. I thought I'd forgotten about it, but my sister's traces still seemed to remain somewhere in my mind.

"We talked about it. I like her the most in the world."

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you when I was alive.

Knowing that it wouldn't be passed on, he chewed up words that had become a habit.

Alex seemed quite embarrassed to see me suddenly burst into tears. He rummages in his inside pocket for no reason. He took out a towel and held it out to me.

"Wipe away the tears with this."

I didn't mean to show you this. No matter how pretty she is, When his eyes were swollen, he became a little ridiculous, so I pressed down on his eyes and wiped away my tears.

"Give it to me."

Maybe it wasn't reliable, but Alex took his handkerchief and started to wipe my face covered with tears.

Though clumsy, it was still better than what I did.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"I'm sorry."

"What?" 

"I've misunderstood you as being hypocritical to look good in front of me. I'll take this opportunity to apologize properly."

I was dumbfounded by his words as old as I was. Hypocrisy. Well, it might look like that. Wounded by the princess, he won't be able to easily understand my mind.

I don't want you to know the truth. It's just enough if we don't get along. 

"You really think you're sorry, don't you?"

"Hmm?" 

You didn't expect me to bite you like this, did you? "

If Your Highness does. I can't help it. I have no choice but to understand with a broad mind."

He deliberately poked out his tongue. It's not bad to owe another like this. The more insurance, the better.

"You must want something from me."

"Just like I told you before. From what my brothers said, I think you're in a difficult situation."

"I'm asking you to protect my sister instead."

I nodded gently. Even the Imperial Lady to me, the enemy of Valentine's Day.

I can't use my hands because of wealth, but Clara is different. 

Although she is Valentine's daughter, in an empire with a powerful new system, her sister is still a foster daughter. Besides, the talent for growing herbs makes money. Plus, she has a big personality, so she's bound to get involved in a case somehow.

"Just a moment ago. Adults look at me the farthest away when you and I stand side by side. He doesn't even look at her."

 "She must be hurt."

"Why don't adults know it when it's so strange to me?"

Alex looked at me silently without saying anything. I was thinking about why I had such sad eyes and realized. 

Clara and Alex are getting closer because they are in a similar situation. 

Just like Klara, who was bullied by Valentine's family, Alex was standing here and there alone amid bullying by the maids and surrogates.

Alex was drawn to Clara, never ending. Because he saw himself in the bullied Clara.

I don't feel like I'm on Clara's side, and I'm on Alex's side.

"Your Highness?"

"The more I see you, the more I can't believe you're only 10."

Yeah. I can't believe you're 14 years old, you old boy. I don't know who's catching who's fault is, but I decided not to hide my true self in front of Alex.

"So let's make a deal. If the Valentine's family can help you, Your Highness will protect her."

"It's a deal.". 

"At least I don't think he'll treat my sister properly." 

With great pride in the fact that she was a legitimate descendant of the royal family, even Alex, the emperor's only son, was often despised.

the belly of a woman who never knows her identity.

When Alex was still young, she didn't hesitate to accuse the emperor's son of Ah Neal.

I'm sorry that I can't reverse it as long as the temple admits it, but anyway, the princess always judges people by her status, so it's clear that he'll be in trouble more than once even if he don't encourage her.

"It's late, but I'll show you to the palace."

Alex asked for an escort, neither positive nor negative. I didn't give a clear answer, but it was clear that it was positive .

"That's right. They said they'd guide us to the palace, and then they would come and cry. The Prince is a bad man."

When I said something deliberately, Alex looked down at me and burst out laughing for some reason.

Come to think of it, it's my first time seeing a smiling face. This kid, he's always doing ice-cold oysters, so I didn't know.

Even his smiling face was so pretty.

    1. Proposal

Alex couldn't easily take his eyes off Siel, who was holding his hand and walking gently.

'That's amazing.'

The more I looked at her, the stranger she was. Ciel is the precious daughter of a duchess who seems to have nothing to do with her troubles or hardships.

This is

I never dreamed that the word "deal" would come out of the mouth of that precious Valentine's spirit. 

As far as he knows, Ciel has never lost a family. Nevertheless, Alex was upset when he saw Siel understand other people's pain.

"I envy your sister."

It would have been nice if he had a younger brother like this. But Ciel didn't understand what he was saying, and then he just said the wrong thing.

"Yes, my sister should be pretty and smart."

It didn't mean that, but there is no reason to complain. "Think as you please," he calmly showed me the female basins of the palace.

"This is the newly remodeled music room." 

"Wow, that's wonderful." 

Starting with the white grand piano, there were various kinds of instruments lined up. Ciel mysteriously searched this and that and asked Alex.

"Can you play musical instruments, Your Highness?"

"If it's Violin, I'll bet."

I've been trained to the point of sophistication, but I've never given it to anyone but my teacher because I don't want to show my lack of skills.

You never know what kind of blame you'll get if you make a mistake.

"Can I hear you?"

"You want to hear it?"

"Yes, I'd like to see you play."

Ciel sat grinning in his piano chair.

It's hard to refuse Ciel's the request, who needs Valentine's cooperation anyway to become a formal crown prince.

I can't help it. I have no choice but to play. 

"Wait, sit down while tuning."

Giving chairs to a small audience, he took out his usual violin from the instrument box. When I checked the note, Alex asked me with a serious face.

"Is there a song you want to listen to?"

Ciel shook his head. Alex chose the song he was most confident in because he didn't seem to have any particular song he wanted to apply for. Lightly holding a bow, he took the first note.

"Let's get started."

Early in the morning, the warm melody of a mountain bird singing softly and quietly closed her eyes and fell into emotion.

Apparently, the song's name is "Hi of Love," which was made to commemorate the engagement with a lover.

He said it was a song.

A beautiful melody filled the room. Ciel listened to his performance without a breath.

On a warm sunny afternoon, the space was peaceful as time stopped.

The melody stopped when the performance reached its peak and the pitch reached its peak. The performance came to an end with a fine melody.

There was a moment of silence. Only after Alex put down his bow did Ciel open his eyes. The clear eyes with recorded eyes shone.

"It's really great."

Ciel rose from his seat and applauded Alex.

A few beats were wrong in the middle, but Ciel seemed to have never noticed such a thing.

"How can you play such a beautiful performance? Your Grace is amazing!"

His face was flushed by the enthusiastic response than expected. Out of embarrassment, he changed his words for no reason.

"What instrument are you learning?"

"Piano. I think I can join you if I get better."

"I'm looking forward to it."

Even though I knew she was saying it without meaning, I felt good about the praise.

Alex glanced at Ciel. Then I recalled her suggestion again.

To draw the cooperation of the Duke of Valentine, the surest means for an alliance is marriage. Even the Emperor himself recommended it.

As much as he threw, Alex came to a conclusion early.

The moment I was trying so hard to get out of my mouth, a strange sound came from outside the door.

"What does this mean?"

There was a loud cry and a hustle of movement. Alex quickly lifted Ciel's body, turned up by the window and hid it.

"Back" 

"Hide. Never make a noise, never come out."

The signs were not good. Fortunately, Ciel nodded gently.

With a sigh of relief, Alex slowly approached the visit. I didn't expect to see her on a day like today.

It's probably hard to get through. Al Rex clenched his fist and looked at the music room door.
