I Caught You

During these two days, Alexandra again ignored Lucian. She would say that she was busy and couldn't eat together with Lucian. 

Alexandra tried to control how to hide her feelings of pleasure at the kiss towards Lucian. She was afraid that Lucian would not even like what she was doing. Alexandra remembers Lucian said that to get married, they had to get engaged first, and he wanted to work like an official knight in Rissingshire. It was as if Lucian wanted to buy time for the two of them to get married. If Lucian hated her more and more, marrying Lucian would be even more difficult.

Lucian had two posts in Rissingshire, apart from being a fiance from Alexandra, he was also a knight. However, even if he did nothing that was the duty of a knight, no one would dare to scold him. Not really with the deputy commander—Garit. He had suffered a humiliating defeat that made him unable to freely satirize Lucian.

If Garit met Lucian, he even behaved calmly. If he looked from a distance, Garit would choose a detour. Accepting new people is indeed very difficult. That's how it happened in Rissingshire. 

Obviously, they certainly assumed that their status was higher than the future Duke they would serve. Up to now, they have not found the clarity that really makes them speechless.

Besides the great suspicions like Lazar's, which is getting bigger and bigger. Lazar became more happy to observe Lucian, even from the top of the magic tower that he was well maintained. His goal was only Lucian. 

Lucian stopped his sword slash. He looked normal only when training together with the Rissingshire knights and in a white shirt that was slightly wet from his sweat Lucian looked normal only. Lazar stopped his observations. 

[Yes, that's right, he is indeed a man who can attract the heart of any woman.] 

Lazar nodded his head. He accepted all of Lucian's advantages, even though he was very suspicious of Lucian. 

Later, as Lucian sat under a tree that was near the training ground, and he again saw Lucian from his binoculars, Lazar and Lucian's eyes met each other and it gave him goosebumps. He almost jumped up and his heart beat wildly. 

"Wait, he saw me?!" 

There is no way that a knight should be able to figure out what he is doing in the magic tower he has already spelled and the top of the magic tower alone is as high as 30 meters. 

Lazar again saw Lucian from the binoculars that were at the top of the tower, and by then, Lucian's attention had changed in the other direction. He walked away from the crowd, which made Lazar even more suspicious of him. He followed Lucian, figuring out what he was going to do. 

"... I hope I can know your secret." 

After that, Lazar continued to observe Lucian until he saw the red hair fluttering in the archery's part training ground, the fiery red hair tied high like a ponytail. It made him unable to observe Lucian anymore.

Alexandra repeatedly released her arrows and was always on target. With a smile on his face, Lucian approached Alexandra.

"You're so great at archery, Lexa." He said to Alexandra with a gentle smile on his face. He was very calculating once, because he only spoke after when Alexandra released the arrow he was holding so that Alexandra would not be surprised. 

"That's because I used arrows first instead of swords." 

Alexandra recalls about Duke Felix—her father, who taught her archery. As a woman, there are many calculations for her to use a sword. Especially at that time, Duke Felix and Adele planned to have another child and hoped that it would be a man in order to pass on the Rissingshire family to her. 

It's just that, before Adele gave birth, they died, which left Alexandra alone.

Though she had asked anyone not to say her whereabouts here, she wanted to reminisce about what she did with her family. When she was archery, her father taught her and her mother would sit under an enormous umbrella with snacks in front of her. 

Playing the arrows meant Alexandra wanted to calm herself down. 

Until now, Alexandra couldn't actually look in Lucian's direction, because that's why the moment she heard Lucian's voice, it instantly erased her focus because she became groggy. 

"Then can you teach me archery?" 

Lucian walked up to Alexandra with Alexandra's thrilling calm pace. She heard clearly that Lucian stopped next to her. There was no need for Alexandra to look next to her. Because when Lucian stopped, it gave a chill all over her body. 

"Lucian, you are a knight. I believe that archery like this is very easy for you."

Lucian chuckled lightly next to Alexandra. The moment Alexandra looked at Lucian, he was looking at Alexandra with a look of shining eyes. Even the sunlight alone will be jealous of the rays in his eyes that are filled with beauty.

"Lexa, I want you to teach me because it will give me something else." Lucian's smile really made Alexandra confused, she didn't know what to do to the man full of charm who teased her repeatedly. 

[Lucian is teasing me... I'm sure...]

[Should I tease him?]

Inside Alexandra was going on turbulently because she was at a loss as to what to react to. 

Lucian behaved like everything he did was a natural thing. Alexandra looked at Lucian's lips that she had touched a few days ago, which made her take a sip of her spit. Alexandra looked at those lips, shiny and looked very sweet, especially Lucian's words, that were always sweet to her. Did he apply honey on those lips?

Alexandra attempted to answer Lucian's words. 

"There is nothing else you can get from practicing archery with me, Lucian." 

"Really?" Lucian held the bow that Alexandra was holding, it made them become very close. 

"I managed to see you after two days. You avoided me, Lexa. Now I get you, don't I?" 

Alexandra's lips trembled looking at the sweet demeanor of the man next to her. Alexandra attempted to take her eyes away from the gaze of Lucian's eyes so deep, but because Lucian moved the arc held by Alexandra, it made Alexandra's thoughts and eyes point towards Lucian. 

"Just my reason for practicing arrows. I just want to see you and want to know why you tried so hard to avoid me, who is your fiancée?" 

Alexandra felt awry, she couldn't escape this shrewd fox. He had lost.
