My Childhood Friend the Demon Knight Hates Me
Heart Break 3
Chapter 3
Reiss is under a big tree in front of the orphanage.
He seemed to be surrounded by girls. One of them was wearing a seemingly expensive garments and a daughter of an influential merchant. Her hair has a beautiful curl and emits an aura of refinement. I wonder if she’s acquainted with someone.
Reiss is quite pular among the beautiful girls in town, having somewhat slender stature but emits a masculine aura, a height somewhat taller than in his age. He is somehow always surrounded with girls whenever he’s outside.
They used to avoid Reiss and felt remorse because of his pitch black hair and red-eyes but as of lately they’ve been viewing it as his “charm“.
I suppressed my feelings of unease and just looked at them from afar.c
“I wonder if Reiss is the lover of the daughter from the Valette household?”
Hearing that question, my shoulders jolted excessively. That daughter being asked from Valette was me. Our family before was serving the feudal lords in the kingdom of Allevel for generations and during the servitude the feudal lord has granted us n.o.bility and family name.
Even though I was the daughter of the household, since from before, rumors of me “getting along” with a boy which I’m always together with has been spreading.
Even though Reiss is an orphan, since my parents and Uncle Allan are really close, we have he has been referred to as my “fiancé”.
I wonder what will Reiss answer?
While clutching the garment on my chest, I calmed my wildly beating heart and focused all my senses on my ears.
He might deny it that we’re on a “lovers” relationship but I have a little expectation. Maybe something like “bestfriend” or as much as “a very important family“. Even “just a childhood friend” doesn’t matter.
Even though my current relationship with Reiss is awkward, I wanted those words to come from his mouth. And I was antic.i.p.ating for his answer.
But reality is cruel.
“Lovers? Please don’t spout such nonsense. ————I do not like that woman. Rather it’s hate. I hate her.”
Even though I’m far from Reiss, I can see his cold eyes as he said those words scornfully.
As the wind pa.s.sed by, those words was blown together and reached my ears without filter. Then I felt something p.r.i.c.kling my chest, it was surely a crack, my heart crumbled.
Th strength on my body is slowly fading.
All the “pain” the my body that I am feeling was deceiving me that it must have just been a poison that’s slowly spreading put.
………—it’s hate. I hate her.
Hearing those words, resounding again and again, tears started to flow from my eyes.
But, his spouting didn’t end yet.
“She had a rough personality. There is no glint of feminity from her.”
“Her appearance is just plain and you can’t find anything to praise about her.”
“She just come to me annoyingly and just continue to bother me every single time.”
Insults coming in one after another. The women in front of Reiss without a doubt are having a hard time of what to say.
…………—me on the other hand, having my feelings of “sadness” reaching its limits are having something other than that coming out as I listen to his continuous insults.
Roughness? No glint of feminity?
Surely it’s true. “I don’t care about that, I just want you to grow healthily“, was under my father’s educational instructions for his daughter, I was raised as a vegetarian, where I can’t freely touching sweets and was not thought sewing and stuffs thoroughly.
Annoying? A bother?
I didn’t notice that I was already resented that much. I’m sorry.
I just stayed in place while silently crying, then I haven’t thought that acting like that would give Reiss a “rough” impression of me.
You don’t want to fix things between us? Telling me I’m rough? Fine.
The sadness I was feeling is gradually fading and turning into anger.
In other words directly ————I snapped…
I bit my lips tight and the forcibly stop the tears that almost dried up. Let down my long blonde hair and rush into them.
“V, Varette-san…..!?”
The merchant’s daughter widened her eyes and started to panic, you didn’t do anything wrong but I just wanted to refute everything.
I’m not even addressing you.
I walked over to where Reiss is and he was astonished after seeing me suddenly appearing in front of him. I threw the garment with embroidery at his beautiful face as
I glared at him.
Slightly scratching his cheeks, the ribbon that was wrapped on the garment came undone showing it. Following the red flower pattern with his eyes, I think his astonished face right now looked “a little cute“, I told him “It’s been a while Reiss, you still looked cool as ever”, I felt relieved seeing him but the resentment I felt since a while ago prevailed and I scornfully glared at him.
And then I clutched my fist tightly and sent a punch at his chest.
“Ga haaaaaaaah….!”
Reiss released a soft groan from his lips, well since it’s just a punch from a girl. Just this much won’t be able to injure him since do usually train.
Still, Uncle Allan secretly thought me some martial arts in order to defend myself and delivered a light blow.
” ————I also really hate you!”
I shouted as loud as I could and glared at his face, seeing all of my feeling reflected on his red eyes. My flowing tears already reached its limits.
I wiped the tears that flowed on my cheeks.
Turned my body around and immediately left.
I let down my hair with one hand which I carefully braided because it’s Reiss birthday. Tore the my favorite frilled dress that I only wear on special occa.s.sions.
I just run continuously.
In the Varette household’s garden, in the flower field of Ricolla that I look forward on showing to Reiss, as we grow up together.
“Ugh…. hic…….”
I cried my heart out until the sun has set.
————And this is how my first love crumbled and scattered to the surroundings.
