He said to her.

'The meaning behind his words...'

Baek yu-seol loved her dearly since day one, and he was the first one that accepted her for being eisel, not the traitor daughter.

In the past.

She'd received plenty of confessions from boys before, yet she'd never paid them much thought.

but when it's really related to baek yu-seol, her heart fluttered.

It had been like that from the beginning.

During the necromancer attack at Marthevis Cemetery, why did he appear there alone?

He was always mysterious, even verazen stated to her in the start that he was always holding back.

During the mock battle with the monster, did he really need her to defeat the monsters?

Even if he had teamed up with someone else, his strategy would have been more than enough to handle the situation.

The club activities, the persona gate, and every little detail in between.

"Maybe because Eisel is too busy, that he had stopped trying to talk to her and giving her some space."

Another one said

"Yeah, that's right. Hasn't he been getting closer to Princess Hong Bi-Yeon?"

Another one said

"Oh my, what a player. I wonder if even the princess would be tempted by an ordinary person?"

One of them asked.

"Hey, stop it. It's been a complete mess lately, you know? I heard that the way the princess looks at Baek Yu-Seol has been favorable lately."

Another one said

'baeky, always talks with me when he returns to the dorms though...'

Eisel thought to herself.

"No way."

One said in suprise.

"It's like a romance novel, you know? Love that transcends social status! That's what going to the academy is all about!"

Love stories were the favorite topic of gossip among the girls.

Just like typical teenagers, quick to react to rumors, they eagerly shifted the focus of their chatter to Hong Bi-Yeon. And every time Eisel overheard those whispers, her chest felt heavier.

'Could it be true...?'

'You've been expressing your feelings so diligently. Did you stop because I didn't notice?'

'Why does it matter?'

'After all, romance is a distant concept for me. I wouldn't have enough time even if I worked without resting, so how can I make time for dating?'

Besides, she already won against Hong Bi-Yeon, since she was one of baek yu-seol gf before her.

After finishing the meal, Flame went out to the balcony of the airship alone, partly to aid digestion.

"Hooh, that's better."

Flame said to herself.

With a loud, satisfying burp, she patted her slightly bulging stomach, feeling refreshed.

Yawning as she stretched, she was caught off guard when someone suddenly approached from the side.

"Hey, I have a favor to ask."
