Simon woke up from a deep slumber seeing Evone beside him still sleeping. He smirked knowing that the lady totally submitted to him last night.
Evone slowly opened her eyes and looked at Simon. He pulls her into a deep hug and kisses her forehead.
"I love you Evone. I have been loving you secretly since my brother started taking you home." Simon gently squeezes her hands causing Evone to blush hard.
"I-I can't believe that you are the one who loves me truly" Evone leans on his chest.
"Don't worry my dear Evone, I will gonna take you to Spain after the World War II ends..."
Simon then picked up his scattered clothes laying on the floor and changes for the day. He picked up his coat, wore it then picks up this top hat. He slightly closed the door to see his older brother at the dining hall.
He entered the hall seeing Louis having a coffee while reading a newspaper. Louis raises his eyebrows greeting his little bro good morning.
"Looks like you woke up early and out of mood" Louis greeted noticing Simon's hair isn't combed neatly. It was disheveled, some strands of his hair hanging on his forehead.
"Just tired from yesterday" Simon then wiped his face with his handkerchief. He doesn't want to tell his brother that he kept Lady Evone in his room.
"It's already 1941..."
Simon looked up after his brother mentioned the current year. "Is the war still going on?" Simon asked.
Louis nods
"I see"
Simon thought about the past. It's been 2 years since his older brother, Louis used to be part of the army.
"Brother, you have changed so much." Simon exclaimed. Louis just looked at him in irritation.
"So what? You don't have to tell me about my history. Past is past and it will not return again!" The older brother furiously replied that made Simon to be frightened.

"Promise me that I'm the only one woman of your life okay? Okay? Okay???" Evone said in a falsetto tone which makes her cute in Louis' point of view.
He just giggled and pokes her because of her cuteness "Let's go wander shall we? My lady?"
