For Your Failed Unrequited Love

Chapter 93

News about the invasion of the barbarians soon became known to the whole empire.

But the academy was quiet as if nothing had happened. Most of the students attended their classes as usual, sat on the campus and chatted with their friends, leading a peaceful daily life.

Thats because the eastern border region was located quite far from the capital. It was necessary to ride a carriage for 15 days to reach Bethel, the capital city, located on the west side of the empire, 

Because of that, rumors about the invasion and looting may seem like a thing from a distant country for the capital people.

The invasion of the Trach tribe became a talk of the town only among the students from the East, the other students werent even interested in it.

Moreover, even when the Trach tribe tried to invade again, the people didnt seem to take the issue very seriously, perhaps because of the belief that the outstanding knights of the East would easily prevent it. In fact, the looting was quickly suppressed this time, too.

Despite the atmosphere, Lucy seemed not yet relieved.

Her complexion was always not good, and she often sits still and thinks unlike usual when she is always busy.

Shes probably worried.

It was understandable that Lucy could not put her mind at ease because it was not yet known how the Trach tribe invaded the border, and no one knew whether they would try to invade again.

Besides Lucy, there was another student wandering the hall like a ghost with drooping shoulders.

Colin Connor, where are you leaving your mind?

Felix cautioned, holding up Colin, who kept walking without knowing that things were falling through the gap of his open bag.

Colin, who was always active and energetic, turned his head toward Felix, the spark in his eyes was gone.

All your things are gone.

Despite Felixs criticism, Colin answered helplessly with a sullen expression.

Yes

He began to pick up the fallen objects, shedding a dying voice.

Looking at the figure, Felix clicked his tongue thinking it cant go on like this. 

Perhaps because they grew up hearing so many stories of war 50 years ago, Lucy and Colin were depressed, worrying about things that hadnt happened yet.

It wasnt that he didnt understand the feelings of the two, but stamping their feet and worrying wont change anything. 

So, Felix decided to go out with Lucy and Colin as soon as the weekend came. The plan was to take them to a crowded place and make them forget thinking about their hometown.

But it wasnt as easy as he thought. Lucy aside, Colins condition was worse than expected.

Where are you looking and walking? Walk straight!

Colin, who was trudging toward the front door, almost fell because he didnt see the stone right in front of him. Felix quickly grabbed him by the back and helped him up.

Colin growled himself, dangling from his hand.

Im sorry.

He made another dying noise.

Felix always thought Colin was annoying whenever he couldnt control his energy and was distracted, he just wanted him to shut up and stay quiet for a moment.

However, when Colin did not say a word and just limped like a zombie, the thought ran away. What is more difficult to handle than the overly energetic Colin Connor, was Colin Connor, who became quiet as if he had died from anxiety and worry.

What kind of condition is this extreme?

No matter how much Felix tried to put him back to his original form, Colins mood never came back.

Then an elegant and arrogant voice flew over their heads.

Why are you so down, little kids?

Normally, he would have frowned as soon as he heard the voice, but at that moment, Felix turned his head with a welcoming look.

In a nearby carriage, Rose was looking out at them with her arms folded.

Soon her eyes turned to Lucy and Colin, drooping beside Felix like a wet puppy.

Whats wrong with them?

When Rose asked, Felix immediately dragged Lucy and Colin to Roses carriage without answering.

Excuse me for a moment.

W, What?

Ignoring Roses bewildered look, Felix put Lucy and Colin into the carriage.

No matter how much he thought about it, he could not offset the gloomy atmosphere created by the two alone. However, he thought it might be a little different for Ros, who only talked about what she had to say without thinking about the feelings of others.

No matter what sadness others are in, they will continue to show off their new clothes or fall into their own world.

He thought it would be better to continue to ventilate the atmosphere while listening to Ros showing off.

Lets go for a ride together.

Finally, Felix pushed his sturdy body into the carriage and spoke.

You owe me one last time. You remember, right? 

When Ros mentioned what happened a few months ago, she shrugged as if she had nothing to say.

Well, it doesnt matter. Its lonely to go alone anyway.

As it turns out, Felix taking Lucy and Colin aboard Ross carriage was a good choice.

Lucy and Colin also slowly began to gain energy due to Ross cool and cheerful energy, who only said what she had to say, regardless of whether the other person heard it or not.

Colin, who was looking out the window with his mouth closed, began to show interest slightly when Ros started talking about boutiques and dessert shops, and a few minutes later, he turned to Ros.

By the time they got closer to the town, he willingly accepted Roses offer to go to the boutique together, and returned to his original lively self-leading the conversation.

Meanwhile, Lucys pale face gradually returns to normal.

Felix held her hand quietly and gave her as if saying dont worry. Lucy also nodded quietly and smiled for the first time.

After arriving in the town, they were led by Ros going around boutiques. 

Colin regained his energy back even if he was left alone. He went around the boutique looking and picking out clothes for Rose.

In the meantime, Felix watched Lucys condition and took good care of her. To further boost her energy that has barely recovered.

Then Ros sneaked up at their back and asked a subtle question.

what, the atmosphere is unusual?

What?

You and Lucy.

Ros looked at Felix with a curious expression and soon showed a mischievous smile.

I cant believe Im seeing Felix Berg struggling with a woman. Ive never seen anything like this before

Dont tell others.

He wasnt too worried because Ros wasnt the kind of person who would go around with her mouth even though she was cold and rude, but Felix warned her just in case.

Dont worry. Ill keep this funny fact to myself for now.

Ros giggled. Then she muttered, changing the direction of her gaze.

By the way Lucy Keenan.

Felixs face darkened as she looked at Lucy with dangerously twinkling eyes.

Isnt Ros a girl who once followed him for her popularity? Shes not thinking that Lucy has done something she failed to do right?

He was worried about that, but she smiled and murmured.

You have an innocent face but are full of ambitions.

Do you think shes you?

Felix clapped his tongue inwardly towards Ros, who was talking nonsense.

Eventually, Ross shopping ended only after wandering around the boutique until her soles were swollen.

Not only Ros but also Felixs hands were full of things. It was the clothes she bought for Lucy.

He knew she wasnt the kind of person to feel good about this, but he wanted to do anything for her. So even if Lucy refused, he bought all the things she showed interest in.

It was when they came out to the roadside after each satisfactory shopping.

Dududdu!

They felt a tremor shaking the ground from afar. The people standing on the street stopped and buzzed all at once. The next moment they quickly split sideways.

A group of knights were speeding along the boulevard at a high speed. It was the Imperial Knights.

As Felix pushed his group to the wall and stepped back from the center of the boulevard, the knights moved away from their eyes, waving dark navy capes as if a strong storm were passing by.

A cloud of dust flew high into the sky where they had passed. In it, people were coughing and waving their hands.

As the sound of horse hoofs died down, peace came again on the boulevard. People glanced back at the place where the Knights disappeared and began to go back.

What is it? I didnt hear that the Imperial Knights were going to war.

Ros murmured. Usually before the Knights appearance, a grand ceremony was always held in the capital. Seeing them run so fast, it was clear that something urgent had happened.

Lucy and Colin stiffened. The two, who had regained their energy at best, began to return to their original state rapidly after seeing the Knights.

And the next day, news was delivered to the whole empire that made it impossible for them to recover.

It was reported that Lausannes army had invaded the east with the Trach tribe at the forefront.
