Do Flowers Bloom in the Fallen Land? - Chapter 149.1

Louis’ life was far from normal.

From birth to a certain age, he lived like a slave in an environment where he was abandoned at any time if he didn’t play his role properly. After barely gaining some freedom, he ran with all his might to break free from that hellish bondage.

There must’ve been no room to understand what a human life was like anywhere in the process. So, someone had to catch him and teach him. Louis was like a child with uncontrollable power now.

“That, you?”

Baron asked with a grim look on his face.

“Aven’s teaching would be best, but I’m confident he’ll do well. Even if I do this, my children…”

“I’ll teach him.”

Aven, who’d been standing there blankly without making proper eye contact with Seira, replied in a hurry. Only then did Seira smile at the gaze she met.

“Yeah. I’m sure Louis will be happy if you do. I think he likes you a lot.”

“…”

Once they made eye contact, Aven couldn’t take his eyes off Seira. Without even blinking and breathing properly, he stood there like a petrified statue and just looked at her.

Baron, who was watching the two of them, scratched the ends of his eyebrows and got up.

“You’ve been asleep for so long that you must be hungry… I should bring you something to eat.”

“Yes… Thank you, Baron.”

Baron, who pushed Aven toward the bed as he passed by, suddenly rushed out of the room as if running away. Just as Aven was barely able to regain his balance, Seira grabbed his arm tightly this time.

There were many ways to shake off or avoid her touch. But he was dragged so helplessly to her that he could only stop just before their foreheads met.

Aven looked at her purple eyes as if he was possessed, just as the tip of their noses brushed. It was the same for her that she was mesmerized by the face of her lover whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.

“Ahhh… It’s really Aven.”

She lifted her hand and cupped his cheek, letting out a gasp. She was so happy to see his beautiful and neat face that she felt overwhelmed.

“Are you okay now?”

His eyes, which had been red as if blood were dripping, were now back to their original black color.

“…Yes. I’m sorry to have worried you.”

“I missed you.”

His lips, which barely opened, were tightly shut again.

“What about you? How about Aven?”

“…”

Seira waited quietly for him to answer her question. With an expression of confidence that she’d be able to hear the answer she wanted.

But no matter how long she waited, the silence flowed, and she had no choice but to let him go.

“I’m going to take a bath first. And change my clothes.”

Aven reached out to Seira, who was about to get down the bed.

“Can I help you?”

Seira, who saw that Aven’s hand was shaking to the point where she felt sorry for him, fell into his arms silently and hugged him. Even without hearing his racing heartbeat, the loud gulping of his throat, and feeling his tense body where she touched him, she knew what was on Aven’s mind.

This was due to the experience of briefly becoming the king of D-Arc and becoming one with her subordinates. Her understanding of Aven might be even higher than Aven himself.

Seira stared at Aven, who skillfully undressed her while filling the bathtub with water. He had an extremely stoic face as if he had no desire.

‘How many years have I been tricked by that face?’

His facial expressions were so perfect that she couldn’t help but believe that he had no selfish intentions. Of course, she would never be deceived again.

Seira didn’t lift a finger even after he dropped her off in the bathtub. Aven’s clothes were getting wet as it was very difficult to take care of a bath for someone who didn’t cooperate.

When it became difficult to find a place that wasn’t wet, embarrassment spread to his face. It was because the outline of his body was completely revealed and he couldn’t hide his longing for her. However, he couldn’t run away leaving her alone after waking up after four days, so he was in a dilemma.

“I had a dream.”

Seira opened her mouth, her eyes fixated on his lips that were crushed by embarrassment.

“In that dream, Aven was the crown prince, and we even promised to get married. We liked each other very much.”

Seira said without fail that she was ten years old in that dream.

“Aven there was so pretty that I wanted to stay there forever.”

“…”
