Isekai: Princess Marquess Becomes Entrepreneur of Tempe

Chapter 53. Unsensitive

Next day.

Elona rolled around in her bed all night until she could not sleep until morning. His face until now is still blushing, because he keeps remembering things that happened in the cave with Art.

Yesterday, shortly after their lips touched each other, Art's friends and some Locke soldiers found the cave where they were hiding. They apparently went through the forest to be able to find the young lady.

Then after being found, somehow Elona could go home with them with a face so red. They all thought the girl's face was red just from the fever, and did not know the true incident.

"We. kisses." said Elona still in disbelief, as she rubbed her lips slowly with her fingers. The shame came back, as if blowing smoke from his head like a kettle of boiling water. The red hue still colors the face of his face up to his neck and ears.

"Yeah...!!"

Geck! Geck!

"Miss, this is Mai." a voice called out to Elona from outside the room.

"Come in." Elona. His favorite servant also entered the room.

"Miss, are you feeling healthier? Yesterday Miss came home in the rain. I'm so worried!" I looked at Elona in panic. Elona just smiled cheerfully.

"Look, I'm fine, man! I'm fine."

"Thank God! Then, will Miss just rest today, or want to go to the fields?"

"Hmm. I'm confused..."

"What's wrong, miss?"

Elona's face blushed in embarrassment, "Soalya. I'm afraid to meet A-art..."

"Fear of meeting Mr-um, I mean, with Art? What's wrong with him?" mai asked curiously.

Elona raised her subdued face and looked at Mai. "I want to tell you a story, but don't tell anyone, especially Stefan..."

"I promise, I'll just listen" Mai said, swearing.

Then Elona told the detailed events that occurred in the cave, and made Mai so surprised.

"What?! You kissing?!!" mai said hysterically, and her mouth was immediately closed in panic by Elona.

"Dhh! Shhh!! Don't be loud, it'll sound the same as Ryndall downstairs!!" elona shouted in panic with a voice held back. If his sister's secretary finds out about it, it won't be long for Stefan to know about it either.

"OK..." Mai took two deep breaths and exhaled slowly, trying to calm herself down.

"Then, what about your own lady?" mai asked as soon as she calmed down. "Did Miss love him?"

"Love...?" elona's face seemed to be puffing smoke back, with a red hue on her face like a boiled crab. He lowered his head and shook weakly.

"... I don't know. I'm afraid what happened to me and Louis yesterday will happen again..."

Looking at her young miss like this confused, Mai smiled gently. Then, he touched both of the girl's shoulders.

"Miss, you know, if I've always supported you?" ask Mai. Elona looked into his eyes.

"Yes, Mai..."

"I'll give you an opinion. You don't equate Mr. Louis and Old-I mean, with Art. They are clearly different people. And Art has always been by your side.

What's clear is, Miss, I've never seen you like this with Mr. Louis."

"Eh, really?" Elona asked in disbelief, and Mai nodded steadily.

"The decision is in Miss's hands, and whatever it is, I will still support her. So don't worry, yeah!"

Elona looked at Mai closely with her feelings, then she hugged the maid of honor.

"Thank you, Mai..."

*****

"Girl!"

Art calls Elona from a distance. Although he was still limping due to the still painful wound on his leg, the man still forced himself to go to the field. The incident also left him unable to sleep. And the next day, that is, today, he insisted on going to the fields in order to meet the girl of his tribe.

The one who was called looked over with a slight shudder. Elona did not expect that Art would be in the field at this time. He was not ready to meet the man again. At once his face was reddened and did not want to look Art in the eye.

"Ha-hai... Are you here? Your legs are sick again." Elona greeted him back. As much as possible he hid his nervousness, but failed. The stuttering sound that came out of his mouth was not something he wanted from within his brain.

"Ah, this. I'm already okay. Tomorrow I will be able to walk smoothly." replied Art cheerfully.

Art's face grew even happier as Elona sounded worried about her condition. He was hoping for a change from Elona's attitude to him after the incident in the cave. Art was hoping that he and the girl could be closer than ever before.

"O-oh.so.." said Elona again. Then, Art grabbed the girl's hand.

"Hey, about yesterday..."

Art has not finished his sentence, his hand has been pressed by Elona. The man was so surprised.

Elona stared into Art's eyes for a split second. His face was so red that it was not known which color his skin was. His hands covered his lips. Immediately, he turned around with a face that was still lowered.

"I-I went to that a-area over there first!"

Instantly, Art was left behind by Elona with a very confused feeling.

"Girl!" Art tried to call, but in vain. Elona had already moved away from before him.

*****

Art was so confused by Elona's change in attitude towards her. He thought something positive was going to happen today. He intends to approach the girl once more and tell her all his feelings.

But what happened was just the opposite. Elona stayed away as she approached. Art's hand was pushed over by the girl while trying to touch her. Totally beyond belief at all.

"Why did he even stay away from me?? Does he hate me?!" art is not out of thought.

Art's words were just heard by the old workers around him. The old men even chuckled when they saw such a young man's behavior.

"Duh, young man today, insensitive, huh?"

"Hahaha, yes! You fuck, kid!" the two old men instead laughed at the bewildered Art, while continuing to till the ground.

"Ah, what the hell, Uncle?" Art is still confused. They both grow even more stupefied.

"Son, Miss Elona's not acting like she hates you..."

"Then, what's his name? He was clearly avoiding me!"

"Duh, you insensitive young man! You don't have any experience with women, do you?" asked one of them anxiously when he saw such an Art.

"What, the hell, he meant?" Art asked with great confusion. The two old workers let out a long sigh and shook their heads.

"Son, Miss Elona was behaving so not because she hates, but instead she was ashamed to meet you. I don't know what you've done to him. Clearly, now he sees you as a man."

"Well, that's right!" say them. Art's eyes were round as soon as he heard it.

"REally...?"

"Yes! Wait what else? There chase! Hurry along!" yell at one of those workers.

"Ah? Uh!" Art immediately circulated his gaze and looked for Elona. His eyes found the girl chatting with one of the other farm workers on the edge of the field.

"Thank you, Uncle! I'll chase my love first!" Art immediately turned around and tried to walk as fast as he could. The old men laughed at him.

"Oh my goodness, young man today..."

*****

"Girl!" once again Art called out the girl's name. Elona turned, and again he shuddered. The girl then finished her conversation with one of the workers in a hurry, then she immediately turned away from the field, trying to avoid the man who called her.

"Elona, wait!"

Elona did not wait. He tried as much as possible to get away from the field area, there went among the trees on the outskirts, which were rarely passed by the workers.

But it turns out that Art's footwork can match Elona's even though she's injured. Once the girl was within sight, Art grabbed Elona's hand and flipped her body. The girl's body followed Art's movements and now she can't twitch anywhere anymore because behind her back there is a large tree blocking her path.

"The art..."

"Why are you avoiding?!" ask Art without further ado.

"I-I didn't dodge.." the girl was bowed so embarrassed. He tried to hide his face that was so red at this time.

"Do you hate me?" ask the young man again. Elona immediately flinched and shook her head quickly.

"No! I don't hate you!"

"But?"

"But.I'm ashamed..."

Elona lowered her head once more, and made the man before her stunned. Art did not think what the workers said was true.

Art so cheered inwardly when she saw her beloved girl acting shy in front of her at this moment. Finally after a long time, Elona no longer considered him an ordinary friend. Elona begins to see him as a man who can love and be loved by him. Art's standard of happiness is indeed so low, especially when it comes to the existence of Elona in his heart.

Art's heart was beating so fast. He touched Elona's chin and lifted her up so that she could see her face clearly.

"A-art...?!"

The man touched Elona's left cheek with one hand, and another hand was engrossed with his fingers rubbing Elona's pink lips and felt soft.

"I... want to finish yesterday, okay?" ask Art. Elona's heart was beating so fast.

And without waiting for the girl's approval, Art brought her face closer to Elona's face. A gentle breath enveloped each other. The girl reflexively closed her eyes, and Art's own eyes were so focused that she wanted to immediately kiss Elona's lips once again.

However, unlike yesterday, there was something different from today.

Art's hand that touched Elona's cheek was suddenly swiped away by someone. Not by Elona, but by someone else. Elona and Art were surprised.

The figure grabbed Art's hand, then threw it away from Elona's face. A figure with black hair and red eyeballs. And the eyes of Elona were so wide to see this one figure.

"Dis?!!"
