Chapter 15: After the Ball ~ SIDE Luna

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“I knew it. There’s no one else for me but Ike-sama.”

Ike-sama and I were inside the carriage. He must be tired, since he was sleeping soundly next to me. The sound of his soft breathing could be heard. His sleeping face looked just like his age. Just like a boy of my own age, but sometimes… His demeanor and how he treated me made him appear older than me. Sometimes I forgot we were actually the same age. And yet… When Ike-sama slept, I could still see a hint of innocence in his face. I knew I couldn’t say this to him, but Ike-sama was truly adorable. 

Today… Something wonderful happened. Ike-sama got angry on my behalf. The thing that triggered this incident was because one particular Hero insulted me in the face. He said very insulting things about me. Something too shameful to be uttered in public space. He told me he wanted to take me as his servant and attended to his nightly needs. 

I felt nothing but anger toward that Hero. No, not because he insulted me, but because of his audacity to insult Ike-sama blatantly. Moreover… I couldn’t forgive all the nobles that attended the party either. They dared to look down on Ike-sama… If Ike-sama wasn’t there, I would have killed them all.

But still, seeing Ike-sama get angry on my behalf truly made me feel happy. I knew it might be imprudent of me, but…

“After he dared to treat you that disgustingly, it wouldn’t be if we didn’t make him pay for it for the rest of his life.”

After the ball ended, Ike-sama and I immediately left the palace. My father-in-law still had business to attend to at the palace, so he allowed me to return first with Ike-sama.

The time spent dancing together with Ike-sama was nothing but blissful. Moreover, Ike-sama danced with me for my sake. At the beginning of the dance, Ike-sama said to me…

“I know you might not want to be here, but I hope you will allow me to be selfish just for a bit.”

Surely, Ike-sama danced with me to show everyone that I was his fiancée. Especially since the Hero had dared to insult me by saying he was willing to take me in as his servant. But still… Even without doing things like that, there was no one for me but Ike-sama. I didn’t have any interest in any other man beside Ike-sama. As long as I could have Ike-sama by my side, I would wish for nothing else.

“Ike-sama, even if you don’t do this, I have no intention of leaving you side. No matter what happens.”

Even if Ike-sama were to say he wanted to leave me, I wouldn’t allow it. If Ike-sama were to die, I would gladly follow him to the afterlife. 

That being said, I knew Ike-sama had done everything he could for my sake. Ike-sama was always chubby by nature before our engagement, but he had started exercising just so I wouldn’t be embarrassed to have him standing next to me. It had been about a month and half since he started exercising and his chubby figure had shown a significant change. 

Maybe I was particularly sensitive to any change in Ike-sama, but even without that, surely anyone could tell he was starting to get thinner than before. But honestly speaking… I felt troubled. If Ike-sama continued to lose weight and became even more handsome than he was now… Other women might start casting their eyes on him. In fact, with each pound he shed, his already refined features became even more prominent. 

But… If any of those women dared to make a move on Ike-sama… I really didn’t know what I would do. My wild delusion might not be a mere daydream anymore in the near future.

I wanted to devote myself to Ike-sama. I wanted to give him everything he desired. My heart, my strength… Everything I had, I wanted to offer it all to him. If he so wished, I would be happy to sacrifice my life for him. 

Of course it made me happy when he did something for me. But only if he did it with me in mind. However, rather than me… I wanted to make Ike-sama happy. I wanted him to look only at me. I wanted him to be so addicted to me, so deeply attached to me that he couldn’t escape, like sinking into an endless swamp. 

Because I love Ike-sama.

No, ‘love’ might not suffice. If I hadn’t met Ike-sama, I would have lost my way and most likely met a miserable end somewhere. Hence why I loved Ike-sama. 

I admit, I did something incredibly foolish when I was young. I was elated when I knew Ike-sama had a favorable feeling toward me. However, I got too carried away that I ended up hurting young Ike-sama. Because of that, his feelings for me gradually dissipated.

Ten years had passed since then. Ike-sama had accepted my foolish self now. I wouldn’t repeat the same mistake I had made. It was my turn to show how obsessed I could be with Ike-sama and of course, I hoped Ike-sama could be as obsessed with me in return. I wanted to put him under the illusion that we didn’t need anyone else in this world. Just us two, together. 

Thinking back… I realized Ike-sama’s gaze sometimes lingered at my chest. He might not realize this himself, but his gaze, as straightforward as it was, was so adorable to me. His honest reaction was so endearing and lovable. He might try to pretend he wasn’t actually interested in my chest if I were to say this to him, but honestly… I would prefer if he just touched me instead. I would much prefer that then letting him be taken by another woman. Maybe I should put more effort in seducing him. 

“From now on, I will be sure to do my best so you will only look at me and no one else.”

I gently hugged Ike-sama, who was breathing softly and slowly closed my eyes as well. 

I savored Ike-sama’s scent and his warmth to my heart’s content… Until morning came.
