Chapter 63 – Confession
“So you’re saying… you did this and that to me in your dream?” she asked the question again with a puzzled face.
Kaligo had a firm reply after regaining his composure, “No.”
“You just said that now, though. That you dreamed of me. That’s why you still think that this is a dream.”
“…”
Kaligo tightly shut his mouth, and Ashia finally snapped.
“So what you mean is… you did the same things you did with me in a dream, right? The real one is in front of you… but you left me hanging and told me about the woman in your dreams.”
“Absolutely not.”
Ashia gritted her teeth. “No…? What, are you good at it? It’s not like you’ve only done it once or twice.”
“Ashia, it was definitely not like that.”
“I can’t see what’s in your dream, so how can I believe you?!”
Kaligo, who had been strongly denying it, couldn’t speak immediately and pursed his lips.
’’Just look at him. There’s definitely something.
Her eyes narrowed.
Kaligo lowered his gaze and continued to speak in a low voice, “In my dream, you….”
“…”
While talking, he let out a self-deprecating sigh. “You… were such an unreachable person.”
Ashia’s squinting eyes widened.
“You walked farther away when I reached my hand, and I couldn’t reach you no matter how much I tried.”
“…”
He always had vivid dreams. And each time, she walked away. She was one step away the first time, she would be two steps away the next day, and she would be ten steps away the following day.
“So… I was happy today that you were the one to come to me first, you reached out to me and touched me first.”
“Ah…”
She did. She was the one who opened the door and came in, and it was also Ashia who touched him while he was asleep. Perhaps, Kaligo woke up from his sleep and thought that it was just a dream.
“I thought you’d disappear again… and I was too greedy.”
When he said that, it reminded her of the time she had just been with him. Ashia’s cheeks, which had just regained their color, flushed.
She pressed her palms against her feverish cheeks and spoke, “I understand that part.”
’It’s possible to confuse dreams with reality when you have just woken up. Yes, I can understand that much. But…’
“Then what is the reason why you have been avoiding me from within the mansion for the past few days?”
“…”
Doubt flashed in Kaligo’s eyes, as if to say “Avoid you? Me?”.
“You’re not going to tell me?”
“…”
Ashia pressed him again, but Kaligo really had nothing to say. It was because he never intentionally avoided her. That’s why when Ashia asked him why he was avoiding her, he couldn’t come up with a proper answer to her question.
Suddenly, he remembered what he had been doing for the past few days. Kaligo let out a small sigh.
“Ah…”
“Ah?”
“Ashia, I…” Kaligo finally opened his mouth. And at that moment.
“Miss Ashia? Are you not inside?”
They heard Melanie’s voice from in front of the Grand Duchess’ bedroom. Ashia’s head turned in that direction then looked back at him again.
“For now, we’ll talk about this again later.”
“…”
Ashia frowned and got down from the bed. Kaligo followed her with his eyes without saying anything.
“You’d better come up with a plausible excuse, because I am very angry.”
After snapping at him for the last time, Ashia walked into her bedroom and slammed the door shut.
“Haa….”
’How could I be so stupid?’
Kaligo buried his head between his knees as she went into her room.
He felt impatient after he brought Ashia to his Grand Duke’s mansion. He felt excited day by day that finally, he was together with her and living under one roof. However, he had a lot of work to finish right away. By keeping her by his side, her safety was guaranteed while he dealt with things he could no longer put off. He only had a single thought of dealing with it quickly and spending time with Ashia.
He made a promise not to waste this opportunity to spend time with her in the same place, and to fulfill that promise, he stayed up all night and immersed himself in work. Unbeknownst to him, he made her feel lonely. It seemed that she thought he was avoiding her.
‘It’s not that. It wasn’t like that.’
Kaligo raised his head again. He slowly stood up as he stared at the door where Ashia disappeared into.
He couldn’t have the past repeat like this… again.
The moment he reached for the doorknob to the Grand Duchess’ bedroom, the gentle sound of water could be heard all the way to Kaligo’s bedroom.
“…”
That must have been the reason why Melanie called her. Even though Kaligo’s eyes were fixed on the doorknob, his ears were focused elsewhere.
’Is the Grand Duke’s mansion badly designed? Or did he use cheap materials? If not, why is the sound of the bathroom running through the Grand Duke’s bedroom?’
Kaligo burst into laughter. The life he had lived in abstinence was by no means short. It was the same with the life he lived as Kaligo Edmund and Kaligo Etous for the past seven years – abstinence with a clear purpose. When that abstinence lost its purpose, he was like a wild beast rampaging in the mountains.
He gripped the doorknob. with the kind of strength where the it might be ripped off at any moment.
‘I’m going crazy. Is this revenge? Well, you told me once it would be good to see me suffering. Is that why you’re doing this?’
“Haa….”
The sound of the splashing of water continued to tickle his ears. It made him want to open the door and run to her bathtub. It was only natural. They were people who were skin-to-skin just earlier.
Besides, Ashia now was probably…
Not… wearing… anything.
Snap!
Kaligo broke the doorknob. He looked down at the broken pieces in his palm and hurriedly shook them off, grabbed his coat, and rushed to leave the room. He quickly walked down to the first floor to get as far away from the sound of the water as possible.
