I won't pick up the trash i threw away again

Chapter-61

I had eaten with Kalian several times so far, but never once alone.

Because Baron Delrond was always with us, but not today.

Baron Delrond hadn't come to work yet, so Kalian and I had breakfast alone.

It felt burdensome to be alone with him. And it was even more burdensome considering what happened last night.

I was glad he didn't ask about yesterday...

Still, wishing that Baron Delrond could be here, I took the bread and looked at the empty seat to Kalian's left.

Perhaps he saw my gaze, Kalian asked while drinking wine.

"You seem to miss Ver, don't you?"

"Yes? No."

"No? You were looking at Ver's seat the whole time we were eating."

Did I? I don't think I saw it that many times.

Feeling awkward for no reason, I tore the bread.

Kalian picked up his wine glass and opened his mouth again.

"Is a man like Ver your type?"

...what else is he talking about?

As I looked at him, confused by his sudden question, Kalian smiled mischievously.

"You were looking at Ver's seat so desperately, so I asked you just in case."

Ah, he's teasing me, huh?

Rumor said that Kalian was a ferocious person who didn't smile often, rough, and mercilessly cut things he didn't like.

But the Kalian I met was not like that.

He had a good smile and his personality was gentle enough.

I made several mistakes, but he was generous and forgiving.

In addition, he was so playful that I had been teased by him over and over again.

I won't be teased this time.

He must be teasing me frequently because I keep getting teased.

I quickly fixed my expression and answered calmly.

"If Baron Delrond was my type, would Your Majesty build me a bridge to cross over personally?"

[T/N: Build a bridge to cross over means to improve relationships between people; set up a date.]

"...what?"

Kalian asked as if it was ridiculous.

"Are you serious, Leila? Do you really like men like Ver?"

Of course not. It's not that Baron Delrond wasn't really my type of man, but to be precise, I didn't have a type of man that I liked.

Because before those values ​​were formed, I was engaged to Philen and joined the Duke of Williot.

And of course, there were men who I didn't like.

For example...

"Leila."

I came to my senses at the sound of snapping fingers.

Oh my. I was thinking about something else again.

I was about to apologize in a hurry, but Kalian spoke faster than me.

"Seeing you take it seriously, it seems that men like Ver are really your type."

...hmm? What is he talking about?

"I'm telling you for your sake, but you should give up on Ver. Ver is not as good a man as you think."
