Toppling

"The heroes in your heart are heroes from fairy tales and biographies."

"Those heroes possessed noble and lofty character. They were willing to risk their lives without hesitation for their own glory and for the sake of innocent bystanders!"

"They can even be so magnanimous as to forgive those who have hurt them!"

William glanced at Haruhime, whose brows were furrowed and who was almost biting her lip until it bled, and continued speaking.

"But I am different; I do not possess noble or lofty character."

"I will use anything that is advantageous in battle; as long as I can win, I will use any means, no matter how despicable!"

"As for helping those who have been hurt, I can do it, but only if it's within my power and won't harm my interests."

"Otherwise, what do I care about the safety of others!"

"The only people I would risk my life to save are my family and my companions."

"Now do you understand? I'm not the hero you've been fantasizing about at all!"

"I just happened to save you; you don't need to treat me like this at all!"

William's voice grew increasingly calm, because he felt that once he had made things clear, Haruhime would let go of her previous thoughts.

My calm attitude should help this girl wake up quickly.

Haruhime remained silent for a long time, and her once rosy lips grew increasingly pale.

"So, Haruhime now your companion, your family?"

Her pupils, which had slowly regained their luster, were fixed intently on William's face, as she hoped to hear the answer she wanted to hear.

"Of course!"

"That's good!"

Haruhime smiled, and the girl's anxious heart calmed down.

"Perhaps, sir, you really are as you say, only putting in effort for your own family."

"But in Haruhime's heart, you are still the hero who saved Haruhime!"

"That's enough for Haruhime!"

Haruhime's face flushed slightly; clearly, expressing her feelings so frankly was quite embarrassing for her.

"Really? I understand!"

There was no need for William to ask any further questions; he could sense the girl's resolute determination simply from Haruhime's tone.

"One last thing!"

"I can't have only one woman in my life, so would you still be willing to accept that?"

William got up from the sofa, walked over to Haruhime, and placed his large hand on Haruhime's delicate face.

The sudden touch made Haruhime squint her eyes into a narrow slit, and at the same time, she covered William's large hand with her small hand.

"Yes, sir!"

"This humble woman never dares to hope that a hero like you would be devoted to only her!"

"But I hope that Haruhime, my lord, will not forget me in the Haruhime!"

He pulled his large hand away from Haruhime's face and flicked her forehead with his finger, without deliberately holding William his strength.

'"It hurts!"

Haruhime tilted her head back involuntarily, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

"My lord, did Haruhime say something wrong?"

Haruhime looked at William with teary eyes, thinking that she had offended William with her words and that was why he was punishing her.

"Just to teach you a lesson. Do you really think I'm the kind of person who easily gets bored and craves new things?!"

William said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Yes, I understand, sir!"

Although Haruhime was covering her head and her eyes were wet, she was smiling more happily than she had ever been in her previous life.

Because she knew that William wasn't blaming her for speaking inappropriately, but rather promising her that she would always have a place in his life.

She gently rested her little head on William's chest, quietly feeling the warmth of the person she loved and the pounding of his heart!

William didn't do much, he simply gently embraced the girl's slender waist, savoring this moment of warmth and tranquility.

"Lord William definitely has feelings for me!"

Despite the lack of any verbal evidence, just hearing the increasingly rapid heartbeat made her realize that her relationship was not merely a case of her own moth drawn to a flame.

Instead, it was a two-way journey where both parties had mutual attraction.

After thinking about it, I immediately rejected the idea of Belle fainting from her chest, since that idea was only there to ensure Bell remained a virgin when she met Haruhime.

As dawn broke, long, golden hair was scattered messily across William's chest, and his small head rested in the crook of his arm, his even breaths gently pattering against his armpit.

Recalling the intense, sweat-drenched battle of last night, William now had only one thought in his mind.

That's broadening your horizons.

No words can adequately describe the profound and unforgettable feeling I had last night. According to normal theory, he is no longer a virgin and shouldn't have such feelings just because of something like this.

But to this, he could only say that women are not all the same.

Mayumi gave him a feeling more like he was developing a green, unripe fruit.
