Looking for My Fiancé’s Lover

dark-shade eyes behind the long eyelashes.
Blush cheeks like that of a nobleman, straight nose bridge without a curve, and a sharp jawline.
If my eyes were not deceiving me, then all of those were Nezar’s features.

His lips drew a small arc as I looked up.

“But the most important thing is missing.
Shouldn’t you tell them that your fiancé is me? Try it.
‘My fiancé is Prince Nezar.
So don’t hit on me and get lost.’”

His outfit was a little different from usual.
The buttons on his shirt, and the cuffs on the sleeves that covered the wrists, which had always been neatly done, were all loosened.
But that wasn’t the real problem.
His visible collarbone that was just above my gaze made my mind fall into a state of chaos.

Oh, no.
This is bad for my mental health.
I didn’t mean to look at it. 

I turned my head in haste.
Still, I was inside Nezar’s chest.

“Don’t you want to try it?”

“No, Don’t joke around with me.
Do you want your fiancee to be rumoured as rude?”

“Bad rumours about you are already widespread.
If it spreads any further than now, it won’t change the original impression of you anyway.”

Nezar, upon saying so, tightened his embrace around me.
At the same time, all sorts of rumours about me circulating in the social world, swirled in my head.
At least it seemed there was no rumour going around that I was a dull or dumb child. 

Thank god.

With a sigh of relief, I pushed Nezar’s body back.
However, no matter how hard I tried, his firm, large build did not budge.

Argh, this is so annoying!

I ended up panting and dropped my arms despondently.
Nezar’s body trembled from his soft laughter ringing from above my head.

“Nezar.”

“Hmm?”

“How did you know that I’m here? I don’t remember saying…”

“I know everything, so don’t even think about roaming around without telling me like today, or do even weirder things.”

What does he mean by weird?

My heart jumped at his words because they hit right the nails on the head.

“I-I didn’t do anything weird.
I just came to watch Lockherd train.
Geez, if anyone heard you, they would think I’m plotting something secretly!”

“You came to see Pancion Entera, not Lockherd.
You, who is always busy cursing at Rick and Lockherd all day long, would never have followed him to such a place if it wasn’t for that.”

The sound of his tongue clicking reached my ears as I bury my face into his arms.
His shirt and warm skin began to cool down little by little.
The noise of his cuffs rubbing against my shirt, the golden sunlight casting over Nezar’s shoulders, and my loud, palpitating heartbeat.
When I came to my senses, the scent of the gypsophilas that had been filling my nose vanished without a trace.
I was once again immersed in his scent.
Suddenly and strangely, I wished that this moment would last forever.

“Well, I supposed you two must have met.
Even if you didn’t, I will at least praise you for your persistence till the end.”
