“Wow, it’s delicious! You’re a real chef, Cecy.”

“It really is good. I’d eat this every day if I could.”

“Hee hee, thank you.”

Alphonse’s compliment made Cecily happy, but it was Zeke’s words that set her heart aflutter.

Zeke complimented me!

Cheeks flushed with joy, Cecily stabbed a fried treat with her fork and proceeded to lift it up to Zeke’s mouth.

“Zeke, open wide. Um, say ‘Ahh’!”

Every knight’s eyes fell upon the couple. They were all thinking the same thing: while they knew Zeke didn’t have to play along with this embarrassing act, they were a bit concerned with how their fearsome captain would react. Yes, he did dote upon Cecily. Yes, his arms were holding her from behind. But to be fed while saying “Ahh”? The knights conversed silently with their eyes and agreed that this task was a bit too difficult for their captain. And they knew what they needed to do—they had to prevent a negative outcome where Cecily ended up in tears!

But then, as they puzzled over how to go about this, bathed in nervous tension...

“Ahh!”

Every knight present was struck dumb with surprise. For there was Zeke with his mouth wide open, betraying their every expectation.

Cecily placed the food gently into his mouth.

“How is it? Yummy?”

“Yeah. A hundred times tastier this way too.”

Really? Their captain was smiling! And...really? His eyes were burning red with...well, surely it couldn’t have been anything but embarrassment?!

“Yay, I’m so glad.”

Zeke’s honest reaction made Cecily smile with contentment.

It was a lovely smile that caused every knight’s heart to skip a beat. Zeke then pulled Cecily in by her slender shoulders and buried his face in her hair.

“I almost want to gobble you up too, Cecily.”

The knights were losing their minds. Yes, Zeke had whispered this, but every single one of them was close enough to hear what he’d said.

“Did you hear that?!”

“He said he wants to... No, I don’t believe it!”

“Yeah, we must’ve misheard. There’s no way our fearsome captain would say that! Wait... Thinking about how he’s been recently, maybe he would!”

Cecily was also horribly embarrassed by Zeke’s whisper, and her face was as red as if she’d just been boiled. Zeke planted a teasing kiss on her red-hot cheek.

“Hey now, don’t pull that kind of face. It’s so cute that I don’t want the other guys to see it.”

Cecily could only let out a small, panicked sound.

“I’m not angry, okay?”

She began to shake with embarrassment. Almost simultaneously, the knights let out a similarly panicked sound. They were also shaking—not with embarrassment, but with fear and confusion.

“I’m glad you two love one another. But don’t forget that we’re here too, all right?”

“Vice-captain!”

Everyone’s hearts came together as one, grateful for their vice-captain’s intervention.

“Thank you, vice-captain, for saying what none of us had the courage to say!”

With that, Zeke and Cecily seemed to come to their senses. With polite coughs, they returned to their lunch. Despite various small incidents of this sort, lunch otherwise proceeded peacefully.

“Zeke, would you like some medicinal herbal tea?”

“Yeah,” Zeke answered immediately.

He took a cup from Cecily.
