NovelEnglishHowever, there was no way for the one-eyed raven to escape Caelion’s arrow.
He could accurately penetrate Melody’s weak point with just one.
“Well, if that’s the case, can you build the cage I told you about?”
Evangeline erased her teary-eyed expression and replaced it with a grin.
Caelion frowned.
Evangeline had been begging him for days to let her build the same cage she had in her Kingdom.
However, the size and appearance of these cages were different from the ordinary ones.
Rather than trapping all of her monster pets inside, she wanted a vast but simple cage with floors and pillars with multi-story frames attached to them for the birds to sit on.
According to her clumsy and ugly drawing, the cage had to be huge enough to occupy half of the room.
Now that Caelion had looked at it closely, there seemed to be a space where small beasts other than winged monsters such as ravens and bats can live.
She also added that a pavilion for a small horse should be attached at the center.
“If we build a cage here, Melody and the rest will be easier to control. Even if I stop them from coming now, they will still visit us the next day.”
Caelion took a deep breath.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe last time she asked, he refused.
Still, many monsters would unnecessarily come and go to this room and if such a nest was decorated, it was obvious that their number would grow into hundreds.
How could she do this to him?
Caelion stared at Evangeline and gritted his teeth. “You did this on purpose.”
Evangeline turned her head away and that affirmed Caelion’s belief.
“Did you encourage that monster to imprint on me so that I’ll be forced to build it?”
“Uh——I didn’t tell you to hit it when you opened the window!”
“You probably told it to hang around by the time I open the window!”Caelion growled.
Evangeline could only lower her head but she didn’t seem to look sorry at all.
“It’s not difficult since I have the kind of magic stone that you’ll need! I brought the old one that I used—-”
Caelion resisted the urge to bellow and rubbed his dry palm across his face, instead.
‘ I didn’t want to see that ugly black bird in my room anymore.’ He thought weakly.
“I’ll give you a day to build that stupid cage! Just do whatever you want.”
Evangeline’s face glowed.
When she whistled, several white-eyed bats wandering outside the window flew in as if to greet them.
A few sat on her shoulders while the rest of them settled on the top of her head before returning outside.
“I’m warning you. If one of them approaches my sister, Her Highness, the Daughter of the Sun, I’ll snap your neck instantly.” He said.
Evangeline’s countenance turned a bit serious but looked more interested rather than grim.
“Hmm.”
“What?”
“Can I ask you something?”She asked Caelion, tilting her head.
Caelion lifted his eyes slightly through the gap in his hands still burying his face.
“Why are you doing this instead of confessing your love to Her Highness?” she asked bluntly.
Caelion’s face flushed.
“W-what the h-hell are you s-saying now?”
He stuttered in bewilderment, but Evangeline remained curious.
“If you like her then tell her. Why don’t you confess to her when you see each other often?”
“Did you use ‘Milon’s Eye’ to see such things?””
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe tried to change the subject but Evangeline wasn’t fooled.
“I can see it without ‘Milon’s Eye’. Your eyes sparkle every time you talk about Her Highness. You also get sensitive when the subject comes up. Like earlier.”
Caelion bit his lip.
He knew so well that it was difficult to hide his love from everyone.
He even knew that Uriel had loved Apollonia for a long time.
However, Caelion never planned to be caught by this woman.
“You said both of you are going to get married. Then shouldn’t the love confession easier to do?”
“It’s not that simple.”
“What’s difficult about it? You can do it like how you confessed to me in front of Paris last time. ‘She’s my girl!’”
*COUGH*
*COUGH*
Caelion choked up at Evangeline’s words, his face flushing from the painful and humiliating memory.
“Forget about it! You know I’m just acting at that time!”
“How can I forget? I’ve never seen such cringe acting in my entire life.”
Evangeline tormented him with the thoughtless and cruel assessment.
“Don’t change the subject. If you’re going to get married, there’s nothing wrong with confessing your love. Even if you don’t have the courage, you can still make it happen. Are you still not doing the most important thing?” Evangeline added.
To Caelion, those words seemed to dig into his own brain since he had the same exact thought in the past.
It would only be a matter of time before Apollonia truly liked him since he was already promised to be her fiancé.
