A few days had passed since Oscar returned.

Lelia recently speculated about the subtle tension that she sensed among her friends.

It was clear that Oscar and Griffith had a very bad relationship, as expected.

Griffith always stared at Oscar with a sharp gaze. Just looking at him made her heart ache.

Oscar seemed to disregard his gaze most of the time, but....

In addition, Kalix secretly began to divide sides.

He tied himself and Oscar to one side and treated Griffith and Romeo as if they were enemies. In fact, this part didn't bother her that much. This was because it felt like a childish act.

The problem was Oscar and Griffith.

Agonized, Lelia walked slowly. After a walk with her mom, she was on her way back to the room across the garden.

She had a lot of worries.

Since Oscar returned, her anxious mind also found peace.

Now she felt like everything had found its place perfectly.

Of course, she knew that the desire to live happily here with her family and friends was pure greed.

But that was the only thing she wanted. Nothing else matters and that was enough.

Is it still a big desire?

Lelia stopped for a moment and sat on the bench.

Now she could be sure of her feelings about Oscar.

She wanted to be more than a friend to Oscar, she wanted to be the one who could protect him and remain the closest to him throughout her life.

But then...

'Will my grandfather allow me to get married?'

Just by thinking of the word marriage, her face turned red and her heart started to flutter.

But... Will Griffith stay still?

No, more than that, then?

Perhaps Romeo will support and congratulate her.

But Griffith...

Still, Lelia remembered the shocking things Griffith said.

Recently, he had not shown any such expression at all, but now Lelia knows that Griffith hides his expression to some extent.

But the bigger mountain was Kalix.

She wasn't confident in winning because she knew he couldn't be persuaded by anything.

Of course, marriage was not necessary.

'I'm thankful and happy right now, but...'

Lelia blinked and her eyes shuddered.

Since Oscar's return, there had been little time to talk alone.

There was no time to kiss or even hold hands like when they reunited.

Somehow, Becky also began to visit the room every night.

There was a "report" saying that Lelia seems to have nightmares every night.

It was probably Griffith.

"I'll be by your side all night, lady. Don't worry about anything."

When she remembered Becky's sweet voice, she felt grateful and unfair.

Perhaps that was why every time she saw Oscar from afar, she felt anxious and nervous.

She wanted to kiss, hug, and get closer to him like before.
