Why Are You Becoming a Villain Again?

Paralyzing Poison (1)

The next day, the academy returned to normal. When the conference was over, some nobles who had finished their business were on their way home, and in a way, it could be seen that the big event was coming to an end.

I also got up early this morning and was on my way to escort Daisy Hexter.

Come to think of it, I haven’t been able to talk to her because things have happened lately. how have you been I’m just curious

As I entered the women’s dormitory, I was also worried about the twins.

Did Asena finish the conversation with her grandmother? Did Kirsi, who cried so much yesterday, calm down?

How long will it take for the two of them to accept sending me? Still, selfishly, I thought that maybe my leaving could be their growth.

It is also true that I have been disturbed by their reactions recently. Trying to stop the breakup with me so violently, a lot of thoughts come into my mind.

At the same time, the scars they gave me still left scars in the corner of my heart, so I kept thinking that I had to leave.

After all, it will be something for each other. Isn’t it said that starting anything is half the time? It must be so disturbing to begin with.

“…..Well?”

Arriving at Daisy’s dorm door, I found a woman waiting for me.

It was none other than Daisy Hexter herself, waiting for me at the door.

When I saw her figure, I moved a little faster.

“daisy.”

I called her after a long time.

Daisy waited for a moment, staring at the floor blankly, and then heard my call with her head flashing.

Soon after, something completely unexpected happened.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she ran to me and hugged me.

“daisy??”

“Kayden!”

It wasn’t a hug like the twins, but it was a hug nonetheless.

Unable to grasp the situation, I could not help the woman in my arms, and my arms wandered in the air.

Could it be that I have missed you all this time? Because we’re stuck together every day, I feel like I’m empty or…

But it didn’t seem like that. It wasn’t that we were lovers.

Still confused, I remained silent and waited for her to calm down, and she held her head up and said:

“Kaden… I haven’t had a chance to say it, but I’m really grateful.”

“yes? What are you talking about?”

“The food you received at the award…you sent all of it to our estate…”

“ah.”

It was then that I understood why Daisy Hexter hugged me and the meaning of it.

I answered with a sudden embarrassment.

“…No, what. As I said on the stage back then, I did it because it really meant nothing to me. Also, the plague has gotten worse recently? We should help when we can.”

“I don’t know how to say thank you…Actually, as you said recently, the plague has gotten worse… A lot of people are having a hard time… Really…I will never forget this debt…”

I put my hand out.

“no. Rather, let me do this as I have paid off my debt.”

“yes?”

“During the difficult times, Daisy’s words helped me a lot. Also, when I see you who is strong, those images motivate me and comfort me. Think of it as a reward for all of that.”

In fact, even when I was reading the novel, it was because of those parts that she became my favourite. Because she became my role model, who never gave up against the twins. Of course, in this world, she had not yet shown such a dazzling strength, but I knew that momentum was alive and breathing in her.

daisy says

“…I didn’t do anything…”

“no. I know what you are trying to do, as I watched from the sidelines.”

Daisy blinked at those words. And then he looks up at me blankly.

Her cheeks are red and her eyes are slightly loose. Did you get any inspiration? It’s just my sincerity.

The sudden silence was awkward for me, so I loosened her arm first.

“Daisy, now the hug…”

“-oh!”

She jumped away from me in shock and started tidying up her hair.

Then he glanced at me and asked quietly.

“…But why are you being so nice to me?”

“yes?”

Without even making eye contact, she asked me as if it was a story that was flowing. It was the first time seeing this.

I pondered for a moment before answering.

“…as I just said… Daisy has been very nice to me. Especially when you’re struggling with twins. Isn’t the current escort training a product of that? I was able to escort Asena, thanks to Daisy’s acceptance of me.”

Daisy turns her head and asks in a whisper.

“…is that all?”

“yes?”

“……”

Another awkward silence came. Daisy was still unable to control her body. His feet were swept here and there as if anxiously, and his fingers were tickling and playing with his fingernails.

When I didn’t answer, she looked around to make sure no one was around, then took another step back and spoke quietly.

“…Kaden, did you hear that story?”

“…what are you talking about?”

“…at the conference…the former Duchess of Pryster said she was looking for a mate for Cayden.”

“…ah.”

I freaked out and scratched my head. I don’t know why, but it’s embarrassing.

“….yes. I heard it.”

Daisy loosened her neck. Now it was certain that she was blushing. Especially the ears were red like roses.

“…that…the father…they said that he also told me my name.”

“……”

“It could be with Kaden and me, so get ready. that that! I think it was because my father was grateful for sending us food..!”

“….daisy.”

“I’m just telling you not to be surprised if something like that ever happens to you. You never know what the future will be like.”

At that moment, I opened my mouth before it got any more uncomfortable to say the next thing.

It doesn’t seem like it’s been decided yet, and it seems like it hasn’t been made public due to family circumstances, but I had to talk about it.

“…my fiance has been decided.”

At that moment, Daisy’s bustling movements stopped, and with her head softened for a moment, she looked up at me now without averting her eyes.

“…….yes?”

“I think it will be Judy. Grandma told me.”

“…Judy Ice?”

“yes.”

Daisy is noticeably slower. He blinked his eyes and rolled his eyes as he stopped biting his nails and sweeping his feet.

Then, she raised the corners of her lips, wondering if something had messed up her hair.

“Ah, that’s right. Congratulations, Kayden.”

“….thanks.”

“I think you two get along very well.”

I sense a slight discomfort in Daisy’s face. Because of the twins, there is a part where the feelings of the other person, especially women, have become sensitive for some reason.

“That…but didn’t you have a bad relationship with the Ice family…?”

“Maybe this marriage is an opportunity to change that.”

“ah. I see.”

“……daisy.”

“…I almost made an excuse for a while without knowing it. Forget everything I just said.”

“Daisy, you don’t look so good.”

“yes..? Oh no. It is an illusion.”

I began to question her awkward reaction.

It’s not possible, but I’m inclined to think.

If I’m going to have to stick with Daisy all the time anyway, it’s better to tie the knot quickly and move on.

“…Daisy, did you like me…?”

Ask very carefully. If she had liked me, I wouldn’t be happier or more grateful than that. It sounds like you can’t repay your heart.

In fact, I know that asking this question is indifferent to any question, but I had no choice but to ask because I don’t want the problem to grow.

Daisy licked her lips to my words and replied quite late.

“……….no? Could it be? There has never been such an airflow between us, has it?”

there was no Until today.

But when we met today, they hugged me, complimented each other, and talked about their engagement, and it felt as if they had cut through the veins of that current.

So, as much as I was concerned about that part, I tried to block it again by hand.

Anyway, it wasn’t her, so I didn’t need to work harder.

“…Yes.”

“Ah, but I think my heart was a little shaky. You, whom I have known for a long time, are getting engaged, something in my heart… um… it’s a strange feeling that’s hard to explain?”

Perhaps her thoughts were directed towards that direction, and even the appearance of Daisy, who tells her how she feels, feels awkward.

I used to do this a lot when my twins complained to me.

He sent me a message asking me to take care of myself by conveying my feelings.

Is Daisy the same now?

I just sympathized with her and didn’t say anything else.

“It must feel weird when someone you know for sure gets engaged.”

“Yes? I think that’s why.”

Immediately after, she tilted her head and whispered in a very low voice.

“…maybe.”
