.”

“I thought you got lost, but I’m glad I came out looking for you.
I’ll take you there.”

He held out his hand as if escorting a noble lady.

I refused several times before, but he held my hand silently.

Chapter 3 “Things I couldn’t do in the past”

On the way back to the inn, there was a line of plumeria trees.

The strong scent of plumeria flowers wafted all around the streets.

It was a flower that can only be seen in the south.

The scent was so strong that my nose was filled with the sweet scent.

“The flowers are so beautiful.
It also smells good.”

When I smelled the flowers and said, Lexion replied.

“…… There are many prettier flowers than that in the north.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah.
Maybe there will be more flowers you will like there.”

He smiled beautifully and I glanced at him.

I am so unfamiliar to Lexion, who spoke like a person who didn’t want to stop talking.

His speeches increased when I was silent.

I was bothered again by his minor changes.

Spin

He talks and talks about the tribe and some other stuff.

It is very strange for me – knowing his personality.

Did his personality change as I returned?

I couldn’t find the answer all alone, so I slowed down and asked.

“Your Grace, how are you sure that I’m going to love the flowers of the North?”

Lexion stopped walking and looked down at me.

His gaze was dimly fixed.

Meanwhile, the scent of plumeria tickled the tip of my nose due to the breeze.

The white petals shook in the wind and dropped gently.

Still, he hesitated and his mouth twitched.

I didn’t know what I was waiting for but I waited silently.

After a while,

“Tiarozety.”

“Yes, Duke.”

“Call me Lexion.”

I was speechless at his unexpected order.

I didn’t know what to answer to his order.

I whispered into my hand with a perplexed expression on my face.

“What? But how can I… call your name casually, Duke…”

“It’s okay, call me by name.
It’s better if you could call me Zion.”

He smiled beautifully as he reacted foolishly.

I stared at him with shaky eyes.

It is inevitable that I should not think about anything he said, but I still naturally expected it.

I have never called him Zion in his previous life.

The stupid Tiarozety was too scared to call him by his name.

He always used the title “Duke” unless he would say so.

Thus, she chose to be next to him quietly rather than getting close to him.

The same goes to me.
That is my role after all, and I didn’t call him by his name either.

So his order was rather touching.

‘Oh, yeah, I’ve called him Zion once.’

I had a bitter smile on my face from the past.

I called him Zion for one time.

It was a mistake that I made when I just realized how I felt about him.

I was surprised to think he was hurt and rejected what I was saying inwardly.

That day was also the day Lexion was hurt while saving Seirin.

At that time, I was struggling because I couldn’t erase Lexion in my mind, and thus I couldn’t stop myself.

Looking at him being surprised, I immediately equivocate that it was a mistake, and since then – I have never called him Zion.

Thus, I was scared to keep calling his name in my own mouth.

I knew very well what my mistake would bring.

“Well, I can’t.
How dare I…”

“I want you to call me Zion.”

Lexion carefully lifted my chin to meet his eyes.

As if he doesn’t like it when I keep looking down.

An unexpected look swept through me.

I opened my mouth slightly without saying anything.

“Will you call me?”

Then he asked me again, seducing, pleading, and soothing.

I felt like I was being sucked into his deep eyes.

Those are the dark eyes that always reassure me.

I loved those dark eyes.
Maybe even now.

“…Z-zion.”

He asked me again to call him again courageously with a light smile.

“One more time.”

“Z-zion?”

I murmured in my mouth and raised my voice slightly.

When I called his nickname, my face was flushed and I was out of breath for no reason.

I’m sure he’s blushing.

He didn’t want to look red, but he couldn’t avoid looking at me because of the expression he was making right in front of me.

He closed his eyes prettily as if he had heard a satisfactory answer.

His face is insanely beautiful.

And his smile was rather satisfying probably because I like him.

And thus my heart throbbed.

I shouldn’t have fallen for him, but my heart is racing for him once again.

I took a step back.

I did it because I was afraid that my heart would be heard because I was so close to him.

His touch that was on my chin also drifted away.

Lexion gently fiddled my finger.

I asked him carefully like that.

“Well… I have a question….Z-Zion.”
