The Student Guardians Are Obsessed With Me

Count Tafman, who was enjoying a leisurely midday stroll through the garden, was suddenly stopped by a tingling shock to the back of his head.

“How dare…!”

He turned around with a red face. Eleanor and the three children were standing there with startled faces.

He gritted his teeth.

Eleanor saw him approaching with a huff and swallowed a bitter laugh.

But she was a teacher anyway. Even though she tap danced on the inside, she couldn’t show it on the outside.

Eleanor said, making a surprised expression.

“Oh my goodness. I’m sorry, Count. Lucas made a mistake.”

The Count, who was about to scream, was shocked for a moment.

“Lucas…?”

Eleanor nodded her head and whispered softly.

“The Prince.”

The Count’s face, which seemed ready to explode at any moment, calmed down in an instant. Eleanor was inwardly surprised at the sudden change in attitude and tapped Lucas on the shoulder.

“Lucas, you owe him an apology.”

“I’m sorry…”

Lucas said, hiding his body behind Eleanor’s back. A look of wariness appeared on his small face.

“No. That’s possible.”

The Count forcibly raised the corners of his mouth and said. A slight twitch occurred in his cheek muscles.

“Then I’ll be going.”

The Count lightly bowed and left, and Eleanor smiled cheerfully and stroked Lucas’ head. Lucas looked twice as lovely today.

He asked, looking up at Eleanor.

“Why are you smiling like that?”

“Nothing. I just feel good.”

***

Eleanor, who had fallen asleep, opened her eyes startled by a sound coming from beyond her wall. She must have heard wrong and was about to close her eyes again when she heard a loud noise again.

Eleanor suddenly got up. There was someone beyond the wall.

Late at night when everyone is asleep. Eleanor froze at the sound of people shouting in the quiet space.

Eleanor’s mind began to simulate the many possibilities.

Her imagination became increasingly terrifying. Eleanor gulped and looked around.

Eleanor, searching for a suitable defensive weapon, picked up a thick book on the nightstand next to the bed. She was willing to hit or throw it if she had to.

Eleanor crept towards the sound. It came from beyond the locked door. A space that she hadn’t paid any attention to until now.

At that time, the terrace caught Eleanor’s eyes. Although the door was locked, she could look into the next room through the connected terrace.

Eleanor tiptoed onto her heels and walked out onto the terrace. Her hands trembled slightly as she held the book, which was probably 800 pages thick.

At that time, there was another loud noise from the next room. It sounded like something heavy was being thrown to the floor.

Surprised, Eleanor lost all strength in her hands for a moment. The heavy book slipped feebly from her fingertips.

Eleanor screamed and waved her arms, but the next moment a dull roar echoed through her terrace. A look of incontinence appeared on Eleanor’s face.

The next moment, someone swung open the terrace door.

The sound of the unidentified assailant’s footsteps got closer. Eleanor, who was taking a step back, closed her eyes tightly.

“…Eleanor?”

But what returned wasn’t a cold blade, a creepy energy, or a terrifying voice. Eleanor slowly opened her eyes at the sound of the vaguely familiar voice.

“…Kaidel?”

Kaidel rubbed his eyes as if he couldn’t believe it. Eleanor was also bewildered and opened her eyes. The two asked questions at the same time.

“Why are you here?”

“Why are you out there?”

Kaidel stammered an answer, pointing to the room he came out of.

“Well, this is my house, and that is my room…”

Ah, right. This was the Duke’s residence.

Eleanor belatedly realized that her question was a bit strange. Eleanor’s strength drained from her body as she realized that the identity of the voice was Kaidel.

She asked, holding on tightly to the terrace railing.

“Weren’t you coming back the day after tomorrow?”

“I finished it as quickly as possible so I could come back quickly.”

“I’m glad you had a good trip.”

“Thanks.”

Those two exchanged late greetings in a hurry. Their hearts were pounding, not completely calmed down.

Kaidel bent down and picked up the book that had fallen on the floor. After flipping through the pages, he asked curiously.

“Why did you bring the book with you?”

“I was going to strike you down if you had been someone strange…”

“Like catching bugs?”

Kaidel asked, raising one of his eyebrows. Eleanor smiled shyly.

“So I almost got beaten up in the middle of the night.”

He shook his head, softly chuckled.

“I think it’s my turn to ask. Why are you here?”

Eleanor asked back, tilting her head.

“Didn’t Jonathan say anything?”

“I didn’t want to wake him up, so I came in quietly. I don’t want to look disheveled in the morning.”

“Ah.”

She nodded her head. On the terrace where the moonlight subsided quietly, the two stood facing each other for a moment.

Eleanor inadvertently lowered her gaze and blushed brightly.

‘!’

She hadn’t noticed it until now, but his shirt was completely undone. A tightly knit, sculpted body was revealed through the gap in the shirt.

“Well, I guess you were changing your clothes…“

Eleanor tried to look away from him and whispered softly. Kaidel then noticed his unkempt appearance and took a step back from her.

“Ah, sorry.”

“Please change your clothes.”

Kaidel, who was entering his room, suggested without thinking.

“It’s cold, so let’s come in and wait for a while.”

Eleanor looked a little surprised. Late at night, dark bedroom. It wasn’t appropriate for a man and woman to be together.

Of course, the terrace couldn’t be said to be very safe, but…

Kaidel soon realized his mistake and raised both his hands.

“No, that’s not it…”

“I’ll wait here.”

“Alright. Sorry..”

Kaidel entered the room, went to the closet, took out a robe and put it on.

Eleanor glanced at his room out of the corner of her eye. Although the structure of the room was the same as the one she was staying in, the atmosphere was slightly different. It felt a bit heavier and more old-fashioned.

The room, which was devoid of any unnecessary furniture or decorations, looked exactly like its owner. Eleanor’s eyes turned to Kaidel. In his own space, everything seemed natural, as if he had become completely accustomed to it.

Kaidel put on the robe and came out holding a thin coat.

“The night is still quite hilly.”

Kaidel personally put the coat on Eleanor. Even though he carried it as small and light as possible, Eleanor looked like she was completely buried in the coat.

Eleanor sniffed her nose softly. The coat smelled of Kaidel. Scent as if it has just been washed with warm water and clean soap.

Kaidel, who was looking down at Eleanor, asked.

“I never thought I would meet you like this… How long have you been here?”

“It’s been a few days. I came to pick Demi up after seeing the opera at the Imperial Palace, but I thought he was a little anxious. I guess I should have asked permission first…”

“No, Eleanor.”

Kaidel shook his head resolutely. Eleanor’s face was reflected in his beautiful blue eyes.

“You don’t need to ask me for any permission.”

Kaidel said as he glanced at the room where Eleanor was staying.

“I guess Jonathan gave you this room.”

“Yes, it’s really wonderful. I think it’s an important room, though…”

“It’s the room my mother used to use. It’s been empty for almost 10 years.”

Kaidel answered in a calm voice. Eleanor said, startled.

“Is it okay for me to use that room? It must be meaningful…”

“Of course.”

Kaidel nodded his head.

“The room is for someone to use. I don’t want you to feel pressured.”

The words that he couldn’t say out of fear of being a burden were pooling in Kaidel’s mouth.

Eleanor glanced at the man, who seemed more disheveled and relaxed than usual. she had something she needed to tell him.

Kaidel rarely showed much emotion. But now that she had known him for quite some time, Eleanor could now roughly read his mood just by looking at his eyes. He seemed blissfully happy at this moment.

When she tried to tell him something heavy, it wasn’t easy for her to open her lips.

“Kaidel, I have something to tell you. Something important.”

“I’m listening.”

He focused on her, locking eyes with her. She pursed her lips slightly.

At that time, a thought suddenly passed through Eleanor’s mind.

. Eleanor shook her head.

“It’s probably going to be a long story, so let’s talk early tomorrow morning. I couldn’t even think you would be tired.”

Kaidel said, scratching the back of his head.

“I’m fine, though.”

“I’m not. It’s still time to rest.”

Eleanor pushed Kaidel’s back with a groan. Kaidel walked obediently, pushed by a weak force without a chin.

“I’ll meet you as soon as I wake up. As soon as I open my eyes.”

Kaidel, standing in the doorway, leaned diagonally and looked down at Eleanor. As soon as he opened his eyes, he could see her by opening just one door. It was something that felt unrealistic.

Eleanor asked, looking up at him.

“What time do you usually wake up?”

“Five o’clock.”

“F-Five…?”

Eleanor flinched.

Does this man not sleep…

“Sleep until seven tomorrow.”

. Kaidel secretly laughed at what Eleanor said so shamelessly.

“I will.”

The wind gently ruffled Kaidel’s hair. Only the faint sound of insects filling the silence between the two.

Eleanor suddenly became a little shy. She didn’t know what was causing it.

Her wearing a pajama dress and slippers? Or her showing him her sloppy and clumsy side? Either that or…

Eleanor fastened the front of the coat with her hands and bid him good night.

“Well then, good night.”

“Good night, Eleanor.”

Kaidel’s mouth was slightly curved.

“I’ll see you tomorrow. As soon as I open my eyes.”
