As Damian confessed right in front of her eyes, Elena felt her hair go white.

Maybe it’s because I didn’t think about the case that this would happen after I confessed my heart to him. For Elena, who had been putting her mind at ease, the situation in front of her eyes came as a bit, no, very shocking.

Because she has received attention from many people throughout her life, Elena is a master at reading the emotions in people’s eyes.

She herself was well aware of how others usually looked at her and Damian. Being superior in appearance to others was not his exclusive property, so it was natural for him to be liked by the opposite sex if he had a good personality and was capable.

Because of this, I imagined at least once that something similar to the situation in front of my eyes would happen, but I never thought that it would actually happen.

The reason for such thoughts was also the feelings of those who looked at them.

Damian is not the only one who is liked by the opposite sex with his exceptional appearance.

In the days when she didn’t have as much self-esteem as before, Elena was able to make an objective evaluation of her appearance. Even if this is not a step beyond self-esteem to arrogance, it has reached the extent of accepting the evaluation of others.

If a woman’s appearance is a weapon, then Elena’s face was the best sword among famous swords.

This was not narcissism, but entirely the evaluation of people.

People say that the first impression is the most important thing in getting a good impression, but the appearance plays a big part in that too. It was true that appearance, if not absolute, was an important factor in gaining favor. For this reason, it was also the most important thing for women from aristocratic families who participated in social circles.

Spending a lot of money and dressing up with jewels and pretty dresses in line with the trend is all about making yourself stand out. But Elena, she can make everyone look back at herself just by wearing a dress like that.

Because of this, Elena’s appearance cut the hearts of many female students, even if it was unintentional.

Interest in people is a very sweet fruit. Some people feel burdened by this, but the vast majority of people don’t like to see many people’s eyes focused on them.

Having experienced a social circle means that you have already picked up and eaten the fruit many times.

The academy is like a banquet hall, where everyone doesn’t have to be peacocks to look good to each other, but kids who are addicted to it can’t get out easily. This was like an instinct as a noble who fell for the banquet.

Since it is Estelia Academy where aristocrats can enter on a special basis, the proportion of female students must be high. At the age of entering the academy, most of them had experienced social life at least once, so the children of the aristocratic families who saw Elena embraced envy and longing, and at the same time were seized by a deep sense of defeat.

As a woman, as a student, all my attention went to Elena.

Elena, who is used to reading emotions, couldn’t have caught this sense of defeat in her gaze.

He was not interested in popularity from the opposite sex, but on the other hand, he paid attention to the inferiority feelings of female students. Even if there is a female student who has a crush on Damian, if he is by his side, he will not be able to approach him recklessly, so he saw the potential as a wall to protect Damian.

Of course, I have no doubt that Damian will not be shaken by the fact that he is being confessed to by someone other than himself. However, this was the realm of personal feelings, apart from such beliefs. It’s unpleasant enough just for someone else to touch yours.

That’s why I built a wall and blocked anything that could cause it in advance. And as I thought, this wall was very effective.

“under.”

Looking at the situation in front of my eyes, it seems that that is over now.

Looking at the eyes of the girl standing in front of Damian, I thought I knew roughly what she was thinking when she said that.

Some of the aristocratic families even had second wives or mistresses, so they probably said that for that purpose. It wasn’t a very out of common sense move. No matter how engaged Damian and himself were, from the perspective of an aristocrat, engagement was just a promise.

No matter how engaged they are, it is not uncommon for them to break up before they get married. Most of the time, engagement was used for the purpose of an arranged marriage. In the middle, if the power of the family weakens or it is considered unprofitable, it is an engagement that causes a breakdown.

Elena clenched her fists.

He didn’t like that he had reduced his relationship with Damien to a mediocre engagement.

To think that an outsider who had no idea what memories he had and what emotions he had shared with him so far tried to come between him and himself with a modest mindset. There is no way to reverse it.

Despite being so uncomfortable, the reason why Elena didn’t run to that place right away was that the girl’s behavior was common sense and universal from the point of view of an aristocrat, and that Damian drew the line and set an example that it was not applicable.

It was an indulgence given to the girl in Elena’s own way, as it showed that their actions were useless to those who approached Damian with the same thoughts as that girl in the future. Although it came from the thought that there was no need to touch oneself.

But when Damian rejected the opportunity and tried to reach out to him again, Elena could no longer hold back her feelings and stepped forward.

***

After the incident was over, Damian comforted her a little, but the incident of that day remained in Elena’s mind.

What happened that day spread quite far through people’s mouths, and the gaze toward Damian decreased a little, and there was a change in the gaze toward her, but even though it was a significant change, Elena was not very satisfied.

“Ugh… I never thought there would be something like this.”

Right now, in front of Elena’s eyes, there were several neatly sealed envelopes. Elena frowned at this, but of course none of the letters here were written by herself. It was handed over to Haley, who noticed Elena, who had become low pressure after that incident.

All the letters in front of her were addressed to Damian Krause.

If it was a normal letter, the sender should have been written or the family pattern stamped on the wax seal.

It made Elena’s head thump as she seemed to know what was inside without even breaking the seal.

Elena looked at her friend who brought it with cold eyes and said.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“Oh, no. There were only a few of them, and it’s been a while since I’ve come to show them…”

“…”

“I’m sorry!! I did it because I didn’t want to make you worry!!!”

When I strained my eyes, Hailey immediately came to me, wishing for fault. In response, Elena sighed and accepted Hailey.

“Damian doesn’t know anything about these things?”

“Perhaps? It’s all things I discovered by chance. Well, even if he knows…”

“I know. I’m not worried.”

I just feel bad.

Yeonseo… These were things that Elena had received many times in her previous life and even now.

In the past, if the feelings contained here were burdensome and he did not refuse and just piled them up, now he is burning all the visible ones, but if you think about it, he should have talked about this from his mouth a long time ago, but looking at it now, Hailey intercepted it in the middle and saved it. it doesn’t seem

I heard that Damian became the center of the Knights Faculty.

It was a natural step because he was more talented than anyone else and was good at leading others. His leadership was unparalleled, so it wasn’t for nothing that he, not Elena, became the focal point in the war against the foreign press.

I once secretly watched a class, and everyone followed his words well, which seemed like an adult among children. That’s not entirely wrong. He too was living his second life now, so he was an adult.

However, unlike what I had seen in my previous life, the overall atmosphere was warm. If the previous one was to see knights with a lot of discipline, now it felt like a group of really close friends.

It’s not that I don’t like the changed atmosphere, but for some reason, I’m confused because I think his changed atmosphere was also included in the cause of this love letter.

“huh.”

Elena raised her magical powers and burned the letters without a trace. Seeing the letters disappear from the world without flying ashes, Hailey watched them with unreasonable sympathy. Elena muttered softly as she watched the letters burn away.

“Why the hell… do you keep sending these things to someone who has an owner…”

“That, Elena gets it every time too.”

“So!! I’m Damian’s and Damian is mine!! Why is everyone knowing and sending me something like this!!!”

Did the piled up finally explode? Unlike before, a rather furious voice came out of her mouth.

Hailey looked at her with a face that could neither laugh nor cry at the words of a young Elena. Her mana, which spread wildly throughout the room, was ferocious, but looking at Elena with a reddened face, an arc was drawn on her lips.

I started to put in unfamiliar words that I would not have been able to put in my mouth because I was ashamed before, as if the shock was considerable. What if I let you know later? It was Hailey who imagined Elena’s face turning red like an apple.

“It can’t go on like this. We need a countermeasure.”

Leaving behind Hailey, who looked at her with warm eyes, Elena began to think about it with a serious face.

Rumors about the incident had already spread, so after a while Elena wanted to keep the current status quo and get the results she wanted, but Elena wanted to shorten the period as much as possible. One such unpleasant experience is enough.

In fact, even that wasn’t certain, so Elena wanted to dispel this anxiety as soon as possible.

After digging into past memories to find a way, Elena was able to pull out one memory.

Memories based on your own experiences.

It wasn’t anything else, it was a time in her past life when she hadn’t received letters of love from others and had no sticky gazes from others. I wonder if that has ever happened… but it did exist. never been like that

“Damian…”

Unusually, when I called the name, heavy emotions were buried. It was natural. The words she uttered now were the same name, but calling someone different.

First.

There was such an experience in his memory before he started to regress.

When she was the fiancée of Damian Krause, not him.
