The bath was quite pleasant...
I picked up Elina's clothes and tried to see whether it's a perfect fit for me. Just as expected, it does fit but I could feel something was wrong... Especially the chest area.
It seems like there's a lot of space there that could be filled... But again, these Elina clothes after all so there's no surprise why it was designed like this. Elina does have a bigger chest than mine. What's important right now is that I can use it.
Still- Why would Elina choose this kind of dress, I know it's not her fault as she might only have this type of clothes with her. But I prefer simpler clothing, this is almost like a dress... There are a lot of frills in this dress, making me feel quite uncomfortable walking around like this.
But I had no choice as these were the clothes that were given to me.
With that, I walk out of the bathroom and head straight towards the living room where Elina told me to be there after I had finished bathing. Because I didn't want to be late, I walked hurriedly there as Elina might have already been waiting for quite a long time.
As I entered the living room, Elina was already there sitting on one of the fancy couches. As she saw me, Elina smiled and told me to sit down as there's something she wanted to say to me.
Well, I guess this is where I would be bombarded with questions... I am already prepared for it and I had thought of all of the possible answers to fit all of the stories that I had told previously before. So I don't think that it would be that hard this time around...
"What's the thing you wanted to ask me?" I said that as I sat down on one of the couches as well.
"It's regarding my brother..." Elina said that.
Her brother? Elina meant Caen right... is he in danger or had some serious illness that Elina wanted to ask me to fetch some rare herb to heal his sickness? That's what was on my mind when Elina said that to me.
"What about your brother, does he need some help?"
"No..." Elina paused for a while.
Seeing her face, it seems like she was hesitant to tell me what the issue was. Well, that's ought to complicate things, as to how could I possibly know if she herself doesn't want to tell...
"Elina, just tell me what it was... As I would sure to lend my help if-"
Just like that, Elina cut my sentence before I could even finish saying what I'm going to say...
"It seems like my brother has fallen in love with you, Yei!"
Hearing that had left me speechless for almost a few minutes... As I can't believe what I am hearing coming from Elina's mouth at the moment.
For a second I thought that I had misheard what Elina had said towards me. But when I ask her again, she repeats the same thing.
Is Elina trying to make a joke here? Trying to scare me... How could she possibly know that her brother Caen had fallen in love with me? It's impossible as there's no way Elina was able to tell that, even if Elina was her sister. She must be wrong about this.
"Elina? Are you trying to make fun of me..."
"No! I am serious, my brother really has fallen in love with you."
"How could you tell? Isn't-"
"I know and I am not wrong... we're siblings after all," Elina said immediately.
"Okay but how can you be sure that Caen is indeed like me... we just met each other so it's kinda absurd for him to have fallen towards me."
"I do have the same thought like you but after I saw how my brother reacted. I am sure that he has fallen in love with you, Yei."
"What action does he do that makes you think that?" I ask Elina as I still can't believe that Caen truly fell in love with me.
Certainly I'm not the best girl... I am not that attractive compared to the other girls as my chest was small and thick. That's from my perspective of course.
Besides I am sure Caen prefers a girl that's more ladylike than me. I am basically a tomboy to say at least...
Elina then answers the question, "The moment when he tried to feed you that desert."
That's it? I do feel a little bit weird about his action at that time as it's kinda sudden. But I doubt that could be enough of a hint that makes Elina jump to this conclusion that she had right now.
"Well, I admit that it's weird for Caen to do that but I don't think that action could be enough proof that he's in love with me."
"You just don't see it, Yei , as you literally focus on the food... My brother's cheeks were red as a tomato when you eat from the spoon... He couldn't hide it and that's why he suddenly wanted to return to his room."
Somehow, hearing that does make sense for a bit. As it's quite sudden for Caen to just leave the dining room like that...
"But isn't he saying that he had paperwork to do, so that's why he left the room?"
"If my brother really had some paperwork to do, there's no way he would leave his room until he gets it done. Caen only leaves his room after all of his jobs are finished so the reason why you could see him just now was that he had finished all of the paperwork."
"I refuse to believe it... there's no way your brother would like someone like me."
"My brother is different, I know that as every time my parents tried to arrange a marriage between one of the daughters of the noble family. He always rejected them as he wanted someone that had similar interests with him..."
