I Am A Sidekick Of 'Who Made Me A Princess' [Discontinued Until Further Notice]

Part 6

Helena stood still, watching them leave. A gust of wind blew all of a sudden. The cold wind made the delightful shiny black hair flutter. Her beauty looked irresistible. Adolf was watching silently the pleasant scenario, with his mouth slightly open.

He could not hold it back, some unknown desire inside him made him draw closer to Helena. His hands automatically went up next to his natural reddish cheeks of Helena. While handling her hair, Helena realized Adolf had come too close and it was beyond the boundary.

Helena looked up instantly to see what he was up to but unfortunately, as she rushed to look up, her head hit the tip of his chin.

Helena let out a short growl out of surprise and out of the slight pain.

"Ow."

As his head went up by the force that was given by Helena's head on his chin both of them froze. He looked as if he was thinking about what the heck just happened.

Helena instantly apologized several times, embarrassed by her actions.

Looking at Helena who was rubbing her head in pain while saying sorry constantly, a realisation hit him and he hurriedly went to check her head by gently rubbing it for the pain to subside.

Helena moved a few steps away, flustered by the fact that Adolf was treating her like a child. And Adolf who finally came to his senses, let out a little smile. He withdrew and the cold wind swept over her as his broad shoulder was covering her up until now.

"W-we should get inside. It's cold outside."

As she hurriedly was passing the passage Adolf did not feel the need to speed up. Instead of going with her side to side he looked at her walking from behind and chuckled.

"So how are your preparations going for the debutante?" Said Adolf quite loudly from his usual self since she was pretty distant.

Helena stopped at his words and looked back. There could still be seen some evidence of her embarrassment as her bright red shade blazed over her cheeks, unlike her facial texture her statement was calm and composed.

"Oh yes, the preparations are going well." She replied. In an abrupt moment, something came up to her mind, "I have my dance classes today. Mind if I ask you to join me?" A playful smile ran over her face. She knew wouldn't reject.

"I would love to join you." Of course, he couldn't resist this tempting offer and like that Helena also received a playful smile that was much more mischievous to her surprise.

Helena was unique in Adolf's eyes. She was someone who would never do something that an average person could predict. She never really appeared like her age nor did she act like one. It was hard to tell from her words if she was this young until she hit her teens.

After she became a teenager her acts started to fit her age. As if she was born a teenager and now it suited her. Both of these facts made Adolf curious about her. It's... bizarre. He never met someone like her.

He had some questionable feelings towards her.

He recalled the first time she approached him, no girl of his age had that courage to even greet him as he naturally had some cold aura from a young age.

Her bravery amazed him. Her attitude was way too different, unlike the other children.

As he grew older he eventually stood out in the crowd and became famous among the ladies, he was known as the lonely wolf for his unique sharp personality and above all good looks.

But Helena never showed interest in that kind of thing. She acted oddly clueless about those things from the first as if she doesn't have any single idea about romance and good looks where he was wrong.

Her behaviour towards this type of knowledge unknowingly made him go crazy about her. He would often find himself thinking about her which was unusual, they were merely...friends.

After coming back from Atlanta this unknown feeling started to grow at a wild speed. She was not the same little girl he knew.

She was now an Adult who will be having her coming-of-age ceremony a few days later from now on. Though that chubby cheeks weren't fully gone which was cute to him but still he couldn't restrain himself from imagining her without them.

"Young duke," Adolf was snapped back to reality by that strict voice. He was already standing in the ballroom where they were and Helena's teacher called out. "So you two should get on your positions."

"Yes." Adolf cut the answer short.

"What were you thinking so deeply about?" A whisper rang near his ear as Helena came closer to put her hand on his shoulder.

'You' was what he wanted to answer but he couldn't. His inner self prevented him to do so. It would probably consider flirting. And he did not want to flirt with her. Even though he didn't spit out what he thought but he kept feeling guilty for the things that were going on inside him.

"Nothing," he replied, helplessly.

Suddenly Helena realized something, he was much taller than what she imagined. When did this man become so tall? He had still a long way to go and had more than enough time to grow a few more inches.

Wow. Must be nice. She thought as she knew she would barely grow from now on. She felt a little jealousy inside her.

That was how their full dance session was filled with her comparing their heights and him trying to discover his emotions.

Bizarre, indeed.
