“Did your heart skip a beat?”

‘I thought it was a strange question.’

‘But then, I felt it literally skip a beat.’

“That’s……. What’s that?”

“And you can’t pull yourself together whenever you see Miss Hildea?”

“Are you trying to pick a fight with me?”

“Oh my God!”

Gabriel did not answer, and the adjutant remained astonished.

“I thought it was because you were looking for a political advantage, but did you really mean wanting to pursue this marriage?”

“What’s wrong with that?”

“Because it’s weird! And it’s you, my lord!”

Gabriel crumpled his face upon seeing the adjutant’s excitement.

“What is this feeling?”

“You really don’t know? Remember how you felt when you were in front of Miss Hildea?”

“Then what?”

“Since this is new to you, My lord, you can’t seem to explain what you feel, right? Then please listen to me.”

In order not to be ignored for being young, Gabriel put on his mask skillfully as well as his posture so that no one would think that he was only a 12 years old boy.

“Whenever you see that person, you feel like your heart will fall to pieces, and at the end of every thought it will always be that person.”

He knew better than anyone else how to draw the interest and attention of another person.

‘But I couldn’t.’

‘I don’t know what to do when I’m in front of that cold girl.’

“It’s the kind of feeling where when that person laughs, you would laugh as well, and when she grieves, you would feel the same pain.”

He felt nervous, scared, happy and excited to see what kind of expression she would make.

“Did you feel the same way, my lord?”

Hildea was always cold and blunt, but one thing was clear.

“How did you know?”

At that time, he didn’t even realize what expression he had, while he was looking at that silver-haired girl.

He was so annoyed that their first meeting was messed up. He shouldn’t have gone to steal that token.

“We usually call that emotion as love, my lord. I think that you fell in love at first sight.”

“…….”

Gabriel rubbed his face recklessly, as he felt regretful for the first time in his life.

“… Maybe.”

‘It felt really good.’

“Just like what you said, this must be love.”

‘Crazy in love.’

Gabriel’s eyes, which had always been filled with false emotions, melted gently and softly just by reminiscing her cold, pretty face.

“Okay.”

He didn’t know why, but that girl definitely lifted the curse of his heart.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense.

Gabriel made eye contact with the adjutant and nodded very slowly.

“…… I like her.”

‘So this what it means to like someone.’

(Hildea’s POV)

Gabriel, the male protagonist, will be staying at our house.

But I am confident.

‘Because, It has nothing to do with me.’

It happened so suddenly, but even if Gabriel stayed at our house, it won’t have a big impact on me.

Rosé smiled softly and liked it so much, so I thought that the two of them would get along well. Gabriel also seems interested in Rosé, that’s why I decided not to get involved with him.

“I can just act like usual.”’

I thought it was simple.

I had no idea.

I didn’t know these things would happen one after another.

I was desperate.

“Why? Why the hell did this happen? Why did I have to have such an encounter with Gabriel?”

Since there’s no one in the room, I sigh and rip my hair out to my heart’s content.

Argh! It hurts!

‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’

I’ve already said it a thousand times already.

“It has nothing to do with me……”

Gabriel had a very serious impact on me to the point where it hurts to even stay at Hillington!

-ˏˋ ━━━━━━ ʚ ɞ ━━━━━━ ˊˎ-

I like to move my body.

Since I couldn’t do this in my previous life, it’s better to run with a healthy body in this new life that has been given to me.

Of course, the worldview of <Young Miss is Sweet> was focused on social standing.

But I didn’t want to neglect my training.

‘And it doesn’t seem like I’m not the only weirdo in the family.’

I smiled and thought of my lovely little sister.

“Sister, sister! Come up quickly!”

“Rosé, it’s dangerous to climb up too high!”

“It’s okay- I’m good at this!”

My younger sister, Rosériel, is one of the weirdos who could easily climb trees even though she doesn’t exercise steadily like me.

‘If my sister was born in Korea, she would have been a rare talent that Taereung would cherish. Obviously she would have swept all the awards, right?’

(TN/N: Taereung Training Center has been the home of elite Korean sports activities.)

(TN/N: Hahaha love their sister complex both Rosé and Hildea are so cute.)

I envied Rosé, who smiled and waved on a high tree.

I also wanted to move freely.

I thought that my father would be worried if he ever found out, so I quietly practiced alone with a tree at a height that wouldn’t be dangerous for me, and in the end, my hard work was rewarded.

Like this.

“Wow, the air is so good. It’s an air that I couldn’t even think of in my previous life. The mountains and the water are good.….”

As I look at the scenery from the top of a fairly tall tree, I suddenly laugh out loud.

“It’s so peaceful. I hope it continues like this.”

Now I know why Rosé kept skipping classes just to climb up a tree. It’s because it was worth it.

If the Marquis ever found out, he would definitely lose his mind while only thinking about the reputation of the family. But the good thing is that no one could see me now.

‘Once I get older, I won’t be able to do this, right?’

It seemed very sad just to imagine it.

I giggled and stretched my legs out as I tried to go down.

But it was at that moment an unexpected thing happened.

“Ugh!”

The buttons that decorated the riding clothes that I wore to move comfortably were suddenly caught in the branches.

“…Oh my!”

Creak.

I heard the sound of branches breaking and felt the sensation of losing balance and fell backwards.

“!”

As my body slowly slipped down the tree, I felt myself being drained away from fear.

Oh my god!

I close my eyes tightly.

If I fall off like this, I would definitely break a bone.

However….

For some reason, it wasn’t me who screamed in pain.

“Oh my gosh, my lord!”

“Lord, lord, are you all right, what is this? How come there’s a person who fell from the sky?”

“Is that a girl? Wait, isn’t that Miss Hildea? What are you doing here, Young Miss?”

What are they talking about?

“Ugh…..”

Why did it seem like it didn’t hurt as much as I thought? If I fell from that height, at least my blood should be dripping…

I grabbed my head that continuously pounded and slowly raised it.

I then realized that there were people staring at me and that there was someone under me.

No way.

I suddenly felt terrified, as if blood rushed up to my face.

As I try to look down to see the face of the victim.

“Ga.. Ga.. Gabriel?”

I saw glittering platinum blonde hair.

‘Why are you underneath me?’

It is definitely Gabriel.

Gabriel, like any other male protagonist, showed an amazing power and easily caught me in a princess carry…. As if a miracle happened.

“Ahh!”

I screamed in surprise.

My gosh is he okay? Is he dead?

“Are you okay…?”

“Young Miss, please move for a moment.”

The knights who approached us quickly picked me up.

I finally saw the figure of a boy with his eyes droopy and closed.

I opened my eyes and lost my mind as If I would pass out anytime soon.

‘Is he dead?’

Gabriel, who stretched out helplessly, seemed to have passed out, perhaps.

Because I crushed him with my butt.

‘Gasp.’

He almost died because of me.

Why does this keep happening?

It was a big accident that I didn’t want to imagine.

If I made a mistake, Gabriel would have broken his neck or suffered a major accident, and I almost crossed the Jordan River together with Gabriel.

(TN/N: But before we enter the “promised land” a rite of passage must be experienced – a “river” has to be crossed; This “river” is called death. It’s what Crossing Jordan River means.)

‘Did I almost kill the male lead again?’

He had a heart attack when he first saw me, and now this? Just what kind of bad luck is this?

Cold sweat dripped down my back.

“Call a physician!”

I felt so sorry and upset that I was about to cry. The gazes of those brutal knights also frightened me.

And then.

A faint sound was heard.

The knight immediately checks on Gabriel.

“Lord, lord! Are you awake?”

“Ugh, what was that?”

“It was Young Miss Hildea, who suddenly fell off the tree.”

“…….”

As my eyes trembled from fright, Gabriel suddenly opened his eyes.

As if he had lost consciousness for a moment, the boy who woke up frowned as he looked at me

Then our eyes met.

“I….”

I feel like a criminal, that’s why I was unable to say anything.

“Ah…. Ahm.. “

I wanted to say ‘I’m sorry’.

And I also wanted to ask, ‘did you get hurt?’.

But the more nervous I got, the more I couldn’t say anything and my crazy chronic disease that hardens me tormented me even at this very moment.

No. I have to say something.

“Really…”

I know for a fact even without seeing my face that I have a hard and cold look, and it didn’t look like I committed a mistake.

When I saw the faces of the knights hardening, I knew it.

Rather than apologizing, I actually looked more arrogant in the situation.

I’m doomed.

As I thought about the words that would be said later, I could only imagine how unfair and unpleasant it would be.

‘He would definitely curse me, or even worse, get mad at me.’

I cringed like a person who was waiting to be hit.

But something unexpected happened.

“Young lady?”

“…Yes?”

What came out of Gabriel’s mouth was not a reprimand or criticism against me.

His purple eyes looked at me delicately.

“Are you okay, Miss Hildea?”

For the first time, I felt like those eyes were looking directly at me.

“Did you get hurt?”

He was submerged in shock, but his youthful tone was very calm and still. And he’ wasn’t not mad at all.

There wasn’t even an insult.

Somehow, my lips trembled.

Gabriel cleared his throat and coughed again.

“Are you by any chance hurt anywhere? You suddenly fell from that height, and we need to make sure that you don’t have any injuries.”

“……I’m fine.”

“Young Miss, it is better not to climb up the tree, okay? It’s really dangerous.”

“Yes, I feel so ashamed of how I look.”

I felt so embarrassed.

Even if our first impression wasn’t good, the little boy was very worried about me, so why couldn’t I be honest?

While his mouth was stiff, Gabriel responded with a fresh answer.

“As long as you’re not hurt, that’s fine.”

It was particularly impressive to see the boy trying to get up casually.

Because he just seemed so worried about me as if saying it was okay, so don’t be sorry to me.

It was like him reading my mind.

-ˏˋ ━━━━━━ ʚ ɞ ━━━━━━ ˊˎ-

After the incident.

I couldn’t give a definite answer to whether a single moment can change my impression of a person.

When I think of that calm voice asking if I was okay, it really warmed me up deep in my heart.

‘My first impression was ruined.’

Gabriel was a much nicer kid than I thought.

Then maybe we can be friends after all.

‘I hope that he doesn’t hate me.’

Of course, that hope did not last long.

TO BE CONTINUED…..
