I Am The Commander Of The Second Male Lead’s Knights - Chapter 129

Nina pulled away, looked at him, and sighed.

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay.”

“No, I got mad at Adrian because I was annoyed. I punched and threw pillows too. I shouldn’t do that.”

Nina’s expression got serious.

“I didn’t want to cry. I hated crying over my family. If I cry, I feel like I lose somehow.”

That’s why it’s a dream I hate so much, I just get angry and annoyed. I blamed all of this due to the heat, pushing herself to become even more annoyed.

She turned her eyes away from the real cause and pushed herself deeper into annoyance and anger. She used a perverse method to escape from sadness and frustration.

I didn’t do that with a plan in mind, but after I cried a lot and the anger and annoyance washed away I found out what the real problem was.

Nina pulled away from him and looked straight into Adrian’s face.

“I’m really sorry.”

Adrian smiled because Nina, who was drooping, was lovely. He carefully swept her cheek so that she could raise her eyes to look at him.

“I don’t want Nina to be perfect. No complaints, no irritations, handling everything perfectly by yourself.”

He tilted his head.

“It is very strange to wish for that. People can be irrational, they can get annoyed, they can get angry.”

You are not special to me because you are perfect.

You are special to me because you are you.

In this heat.

With that kind of dream.

I don’t want to see you swallow the pain and smile alone in any of these situations. It is better to let it all out, be angry and cry. He covered her cheeks with both hands.

“It’s okay to be angry with me, it’s okay to be annoyed, and it’s okay to hug me while crying. It doesn’t hurt me, what bothers me is that you are trying to do everything by yourself.”

“I don’t want to be mad at Adrian for no reason.”

Adrian laughed out loud at Nina’s sullen words.

“Then, it’s okay to hold me and cry, right?”

Nina nodded her head at his question.

“I don’t have to be so sorry later.”

Nina stroked his face. Adrian looked at Nina quietly and said.

“If Nina is sad, it means you loved your family very much. I think you can be sad as much as you want.”

She was loved and cared for.

Pain is proof of that love.

“But you also have to cry.”

Tears welled up in Nina’s eyes again. In fear that all that joy she had, would turn into sadness.

She was afraid she would keep reminiscing about the things she lost and bother him. She always wanted to laugh and talk. She wanted to enjoy only the good and sweet parts.

“If you endure it, it will only get heavy. If you cry and pour out, you can laugh and talk again.”

At Adrian’s words, Nina asked, “Are you talking about your experience?” .

“You told me.”

“What? Why is it coming back like this?”

The second time she cried, it wasn’t the same sad cry as before. Tears just silently came out. Nina, who was crying again, washed her face in the cold water. Her eyes were hot.

Adrian touched Nina’s forehead lightly. It was not as hot as before, and the heat had completely cooled down.

The large communal bath was quite large, so it was enough for two people.

It is rare for a townhouse to have such a large bathroom, but Adrian, who loves water, specially ordered for it.

The cold groundwater feels pleasantly cool in this hot weather.

“I came in the bathroom wearing pajamas.”

“I feel the same way.”

Adrian shrugged his shoulders. He was wearing a shirt and pants. It’s wet anyway, so it’s funny to lament now.

Nina looked at his wet white shirt, wet black hair, water droplets on his long eyelashes, and his firm chest that was slightly reflected, and asked.

“Why is Adrian being so generous with me?”

Adrian made a silly face.

“Because Nina is special to me.”

“Well, I know that. Although I was good to Adrian, why I’m special?”

Adrian smiled bitterly and said.

“I would have done it even if you weren’t good to me.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Adrian nodded his head.

He remembered his dreams.

He was deadly convinced he would do the same.

I would have turned my attention to every word you said while walking down the street, and your smile would have taken everything away. I couldn’t stand it because I was worried, and I must have grunted alone because I didn’t know why I was worried.

Nina, wherever and however I met you. You must have been special to me.

I would have loved you

“How do you know?”

Nina came up through the water and pushed her face near his.

“I know myself.”

Nina smiled and answered Adrian’s answer.

“But I feel the same way.”

“Really?”

“Even if I didn’t meet Adrian as a Young Master, I would have looked at what kind of man you were, and I`m pretty sure I would have come to value you.”

Nina closed her eyes and put both hands on her chest. Adrian couldn’t resist the urge at the sight, so he pulled her arm.

Then, Nina hugged him tightly.

“Nina La Dell.”

“Yes.”

“Thank you for always accepting my tantrums.”

Nina laughed out loud at his little words.

“It’s the same with me.”

Jean found Nina flapping a fan under the shade of a tree. She was splashing water into the basin with her bare feet.

“You recovered faster this time.”

“It’s thanks to the Young Master.”

Nina said while drinking cold tea. Jean approached, took Nina’s fan, and asked while fanning her.

“I was worried that it would last a few days.”

“There has been a case like that.”

Even in the past, the nightmares continued. Thinking about it now, she wanted to cry even then, but I wonder if it was because she held too much inside.

When Nina made a faint frown on her face, Jean asked seriously.

“Are you really okay?”

“Oh, it’s really okay.”

“You’re usually very accommodating to other people’s feelings, so I understand the bursts you have now and then.”

Nina smiled brightly.

“Did I tell Jean? How I made a contract with the North Wind?”

“No.”

“Flap harder.”

“Yes, Yes.”

As Jean speeded up the flapping fan, Nina squinted her eyes and made a contented face.

“When I was young-.”

She spoke lightly, but Jean’s face suddenly became serious.

“Are you okay? It’s high summer.”

“It’s okay. The heat won’t get better, but from now on, I decided to cry and go to the Young Master for consolation instead of getting mad by myself.”

“Blimey.”

Jean made a worried face. No one is without a past, and stories of families killed by Bellac are common, but just because they’re common doesn’t mean they aren’t painful.

Wouldn’t it be bad to hold too much inside?

“Even if you get annoyed in the summer, I’ll let it slide. I can let it slide if it’s that much.”

Nina laughed.

“It’s all right, I don’t want to be annoyed. I’ll be the only one regretting.”

“That’s true.”

“Oh, I have something to tell Jean.”

“What is it?”

“The prince said that Jean’s eyes and hair color are really beautiful.”

“……what?”

The hand that moved the fan slowed helplessly. When she saw his strange expression, Nina burst out laughing at Jean.

He was furious.

“Hey, what are you joking about!”

“What do you mean a joke? How many times have I spoken seriously?”

It was a compliment to me, who was using Jean’s hair and eye colors, but isn’t it true that he complimented the color anyway?

Then it’s right to compliment Jean’s eyes and hair color.

With logic worth fainting if Faradiv ever hear it, Nina opened her mouth.

“I’m not lying.”

“······.”

Jean made an indescribable face. Nina reached out her hand, brought the fan back from his grip, and fanned him.

“Jean must be happy. Because the color of your eyes and hair are beautiful.”

“Ugh!”

He ruffled his hair with both hands.

What?

What is this about?

Wasn’t that guy chasing after Nina?
