Chapter Five: Warm and Hot

The wood burst open with a snap.

The campfire before her was as warm a sight as it was warm to be near. Watching the flames, Sophelia felt a sense of calm wash over her. One of the few things she’d enjoyed back home was watching the flames in the fireplace dance and sway. But a campfire’s even better, Sophelia thought, narrowing her gaze and sniffing.

Livionis quietly sat on the opposite side, with his eyes focused on the campfire. With his black gloves removed, Livionis’s hands were almost shockingly pale and beautiful. His long, heavy eyelashes cast prominent swaying shadows across his face. Staring into the fire in silence, he looked like a spirit of sorts.

And not long ago, it was in front of that same distressingly beautiful man that Sophelia had committed an act so disgraceful that she hoped to never recall it for the rest of her days: she’d bawled and wailed and sobbed.

It hardly seemed real. She wished it weren’t, but it was. It was cold, hard reality. If there’d been a tournament for the best impression of a crying child, she would’ve walked away with the gold.

Watching Sophelia sob, Livionis had been beside himself, stumbling over his words. “Wh-What, wh-whatever’s the matter?”

“I don’t feel good! And I’m scared of heeeights!” Sophelia exclaimed as it all flooded out.

No, I mean my answer flooded out, not that! I didn’t actually throw up! I meant I finally came clean to him! Sorry if you were eating!

That aside...

One knockout punch from Livionis’s overwhelming beauty was all it took to send all the confidence Sophelia had in her ability to endure hardships flying off into the distance...and it didn’t seem likely to return.

Aside from her infancy when she couldn’t eat or move on her own, as far back as she could remember, Sophelia had never cried in front of anyone, but now, before this knight, her tear ducts were woefully inflated and overflowed. She’d been splashing around in enough tears that she could practically declare them a famous well that never ran dry. I’ll just keep the water flowing!

“We never had a drainage pump or anything like that until yesterday, did we?” Sophelia wanted to ask the person in charge, but the person in charge was Sophelia herself, so all she could say back to herself was “I don’t remember.”

Sophelia stared at Livionis, hoping he might forget the shameful display he’d witnessed.

“If...I may?” Sophelia began.

“Yes?” Livionis replied, lifting his head.

Wow.

Livionis’s face was even more stunning when illuminated by the campfire’s flames. Those purple eyes had dashed into first place in Sophelia’s list of things she liked by a wide margin, and now they were glittering before her. They gave off a warm, orange-ish glow in the fire’s light.

Sophelia stared at him blankly, watching him blink with those radiant, dazzling eyes of his. Livionis cocked his head in curiosity, only for his black hair to sway alongside it.

“What is it?” Livionis asked.

“Oh, no, uh, it’s...” Sophelia stammered. She couldn’t bring herself to admit that she’d been hopelessly lost in his beauty.
