CH 121

Henry insisted on sitting next to Philina in the next class and the next.

For example, if a class required a training partner, even if the instructor had someone to choose for her, he would raise his hand and make up a ridiculous excuse to claim to be Philina’s partner.

In contrast to her usual angry demeanor, her insensitive reaction seemed to make her even more painful.

“I don’t have a child.”

T/N: Okay, It’s a double-meaning sentence. So, this can be confusing. But what she meant was Henry is behaving like a child. And as she doesn’t have a child, she has no obligations to fulfill his childish behaviors. She’s telling him to shut up, in a roundabout way.

Philina muttered in a blunt voice, and Henry, who was sitting with her, furrowed his eyebrows.

“What did you just say?”

Filina responded with a shrug.

Now I was learning to do martial arts without tools and simply using my body.

Among them, I was learning how to spin, which was a basic training exercise to land safely without injury in the event of a sudden fall during a fight.

But there was one thing that bothered me. I didn’t know it when I was in the Knights, but in the case of Henry Argeny, he was a demonstrator in most of his classes, demonstrating martial arts.

He even assisted the instructor in teaching cadets who could not keep up with the training.

Annoyingly, however, he himself told the instructor that he was going to be Philina’s partner, leaving the other cadets behind.

Henry’s nerves were now focused solely on Philina.

“What are you doing? Don’t come this way.”

Henry, who was sitting with one knee bent on the soft mat, looked at her and blurted out:

Philina, who had been staring at him silently, let out a small sigh and walked up to Henry and turned around.

Immediately, his firm forearms wrapped around Philina’s waist.

Immediately, the other hand slipped into the inside of her leg and quickly made her fall backwards.

Philina’s body spun in a big turn and landed on the mat.

“Well done, Sir Debussy,”

Henry said to her, smiling pretty over his fair face.

Filina did nothing.

It was just Henry’s hand that turned his body.

She looked at Henry lightly, then turned again and pressed herself casually into his forearm.

Suddenly, I saw Henry glance nervously into her face.

Filina was dumbfounded.

She had been doing so well so far, but when she approached Henry herself, she seemed nervous all over again.

“Hold it straight.”

Philina pulled Henry’s large hand around my waist and fastened it firmly over her body.

“Oh . . .”

He bit his lip and frowned. The tips of Henry’s ears were red.

Philina, who had been looking back at him indifferently, blurted out.

“If you don’t hold me straight, I might fall. Hold on to your waist.”

“Oh, I’m sorry…”

Seeing him apologize to me with a stupid face, Filina gasped.

Then, without much help from Henry, she turned back and spun naturally, just as Philina had done before.

Henry looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Philina looked at him pathetically and spat out.

“I don’t think I need much of your help now, do I?”

Henry, however, immediately taught a different method of spinning fall.

There was no Spartan education.

Others were still repeating the basic tricks they had learned for the first time.

Without much ado, Filina entered the new spinning fall as he wished.

Since it was a physical technique, it was inevitable that each other’s bodies would come into contact with each other.

Henry would teach well with a sullen face every time, but when Philina was a little aggressive in training and a skinship occurred, he would quickly be embarrassed with a gaping face.

Time passed, and all the classes were over.

As she walked out of the training room and across the training area, she saw a puppy behind her desperately chasing its owner.

She sighed softly and turned her head.

“How long are you going to follow me?”

Filina was walking to the Oval Office.

Therefore, it was normal that Henry and I had to go in a different direction.

Many of the cadets were already walking toward their dormitories.

“Sir Debussy, perhaps……”

Henry bit his bottom lip and opened his mouth cautiously.

“Did you feel bad that I was so reckless today?”

“What?”

Filina furrowed her eyebrows and looked at him.

What did Henry do to me today?

All he had to do was take a seat next to her.

I honestly don’t want to admit it, but it was actually beneficial for her to have Henry as a training partner.

Others said it was much better to have a training coach from Henry than an instructor, and he had great martial arts skills.

“I’m afraid Sir Debussy was offended by me . . .”

Filina was staring at him with an expression of incomprehension that she couldn’t understand what Henry was saying.

Then Henry opened his mouth cautiously, watching her.

“…… If you don’t feel comfortable talking to me in front of other people, you can do what you normally do.”

Alas, now I know.

Was he just doing this by letting go of his horse?

Filina said with a small gasp.

“It’s not uncomfortable.”

“…… Really?”

“Yes, honestly, I’m more comfortable with this.”

After all, Henry and I had had a relationship with horses in the past in our lives.

Of course, he doesn’t remember a bit, but…….

Philina laughed helplessly and said to Henry:

“That’s all you have to say?”

“…… Yes.”

“Well, can I just go? I have something to talk about with the general manager in the Oval Office.”

“Oh, I see.”

I could see Henry staring at her with a subtle expression.

Somehow, she had noticed that Philina’s attitude had changed somewhat.

He wasn’t as angry with me as he used to be, but he was more insensitive than usual, and he was strangely bad.

I didn’t know what the distance between them meant.

For the first time, Filina turned her back on Henry, even giving him a gentle smile.

His expression was blank as he stared at her backside.

Philina walked into the Oval Office and knocked in front of Weaver’s room. Soon after, I heard a voice telling me to come in.

“Come on, Philina.”

It was Huey who greeted her before Weaver.

Philina frowned, staring at him, then shifted her gaze again to greet Weaver.

“I’m looking forward to seeing you.”

Weaver pulled down the glasses he was wearing over his face and motioned for him to come closer to Philina.

She walked slowly in front of Weaver’s desk, looking at Huey, who was smirking beside him.

Philina looked puzzled, and Weaver, who was in front of her, spoke slowly.

“I called Sir Fieldman with me.”

Filina said, furrowing her eyebrows.

“What did you call me to?”

It was none other than Huey who answered her question.

“Why? They must have called us to reward us.”

“Rewards?”

Huey asked, as if to ask what he meant. Then Weaver, who was in front of him, opened his mouth with a reverent face.

“Lord Fieldman is right. I’m calling to reward the two people who helped me with this incident involving Carmen.”

Huey then asked if he was right, and nudged Pilina with his elbow.

She glanced at Huey and then turned to Weaver and asked, “What are you doing?”

“What happened to Deputy General Manager Carmen?”

At Philina’s question, Weaver blurted out.

“I understand the investigation is still ongoing. But the sins he committed at the academy will be hard to avoid. I’ll never be able to go to the military academy again.”

As he did so, he raised his eyes and turned to Huey and Filina.

“If it weren’t for them, it’s hard to imagine what would have happened to the academy. Especially with Sir Debussy, there were many things that I misunderstood.”

Weaver met Philina’s gaze and smiled softly.

I knew that the misunderstanding he was talking about was probably caused by negative feelings about Pilina following the fraudulent admission.

It wasn’t that she didn’t understand Weaver either, so she shrugged her shoulders lightly.

Weaver looked at them and pursed his lips again.

“So, while we were thinking about how to compensate him, we decided to give him three days of special leave.”

At his words, Huey opened his mouth with an embarrassed face.

“What, that’s it. It’s only three days off, right? I thought I’d put down something really great!”

“That’s the reward the cadets want most.”

Weaver nodded, answering with a firm face.

Filina just smirked that she hadn’t expected it.

“Instead, let me take a vacation on any day I want. If you have extra tickets left, you can use them all at once, like this holiday. I’ll let you do that.”

He haughtily groaned with a face that showed that he cared about his heart. Philina, who had been looking at Weaver silently, opened her mouth.

“By the way, the place of class has been changed to the Imperial Palace that morning, is it okay to take a vacation?”

At her words, Weaver sighed with a troubled face, as if he had forgotten about it.

“…… In any case, the cadets must be given time off, so let me speak to your Highness.”

Only then did Filina nod in understanding.

Huey, on the other hand, was still grumbling to Weaver with a disgruntled face, asking what the reward was.

However, Weaver did not bend his will, and on the contrary, he said that this was a great reward, but he looked incomprehensible to Huey.

Huey realized that he couldn’t ask for anything more from him, and walked out of the Oval Office with Philina with his lips puffed up.

“No, if you’re going to give me a vacation, you have to give me a month off. What are the three days of the moon? It’s like he’s given something worthless.”

Huey stared at the tightly closed door of the Oval Office and said in a dumbfounded voice:

Then he made eye contact with Filina and raised his lips.

“Well, then, Philina. Shall we spend three days on vacation given by our general manager in the forest of hallucinations?”

“Yes, you send it alone.”

As Filina coldly groaned and tried to walk past Huey, he quickly grabbed her hand. Then he grabbed the pod quickly to prevent Philina from pulling her hand away.

“Then do you want to come with me to the courtyard? I’ll take you to a look.”

“Don’t mess around, I’ve got to go.”

“Where to go? In my heart?”

At Huey’s childish wordplay, Filina glanced at him with an annoyed face.

“Oh, where are you going then? Can’t you take me with you too?”

“You don’t have to do that while you’re a horseman?”

Despite her prickly voice, Huey clung to Philina’s arm like a leech.
