Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

Chapter 984 273: Starry Promise Under the Moon, Elanna’s Confession, and the Choice of Destiny (10K)_5

She carefully unlocked her greaves, revealing the pair of fair, long legs hidden beneath the iron armor.

As she gently placed the greaves aside, she instinctively sniffed to see if any strange smell had escaped from the sealed armor.

It is well known that, aside from some idols or little fairies, a normal person's body sweats during training and needs to use the restroom, unlike the imagined fragrant aroma some might dream of.

Even when coming to see Kael, Elanna had already exerted all her limited dressing skills to clean her travel-worn self before arriving by Kael's side.

Although she didn't smell anything while removing her greaves, her petite finger would always twitch slightly with Kael's smiling gaze, feeling intensely embarrassed.

Such are the sentiments of a girl; sometimes she wants to be closer to him, but other times she worries if being too close would make her unpleasant.

Kael rather enjoyed watching the girl show expressions he hadn't seen before, seeing the knight maiden feel shy because of him, it was indeed a delightful experience.

"Come over~"

Elanna whispered, lightly shaking her hand, beckoning him to lie down.

Kael leaned over, turned his body, and lay his head on Elanna's lap.

"You boys seem to like this gesture, lying on a girl's lap and such."

"Who knows? Sometimes I hear girls like to lean over the boys too, but ultimately, it's not the act itself that everyone likes, but the person who does it, right?"

"True." Elanna slowly stroked Kael's hair, saying: "At this point, Kael, are you feeling a bit more at ease? Now that you're a Magic Monarch, even with top forces targeting you, you're no longer so flustered."

Kael turned to the side, wrapped his arms around Elanna's slender waist, and spoke softly: "I'm fine now, the rest is just waiting, and also, I'm quite displeased."

"Ah?" Elanna hesitated for a moment.

Kael jokingly said: "Remember when I gave you the Communication Crystal, hoping you would chat with me, say safe and goodnight, even from thousands of miles away?"

Elanna a bit embarrassed, admitted: "Actually, that was for some other reasons."

Kael snorted and said: "What kind of reason could make my fiancée not even dare to use the Communication Crystal to contact me?"

"I worry that if you're not in the Mage Tower, using the Communication Crystal directly would significantly deplete your magic power, and if you encountered danger during that time... I don't want such possibilities to occur.

Besides..."

For some reason, whenever Elanna is alone with Kael, she instinctively lowers her voice, as if afraid her louder voice would disturb someone else:

"If we contact more often... I'd miss you more, and then I wouldn't be able to accomplish what I need to do."

Kael: ...

He instinctively covered his eyes with his hand, unsure why he, usually thick-skinned and bold, felt a bit shy at this moment.

How did she manage to say this phrase so calmly!

Kael finally smiled and softly said: "So, shall we chat?"

Elanna: "Sure!"

Her voice rose in excitement, she instinctively reached out and grasped Kael's hand.

"Elanna, do you remember the celestial promise we made?"

Kael recalled the day Elanna first actively contacted him using the Communication Crystal.

That time, he opened the window, looked toward the White Bone Christmas Tree, and said to her: "Elanna, can you see the sky from your room?"

Hearing Kael mention this, Elanna too remembered the conversation she had with Kael that day.

...

Kael: "Elanna, can you see the sky from your room?"

Elanna: "The sky? Yes, I can."

Kael: "Can you see the Big Bear Star in the sky?"

Elanna looked up at the starry sky and said: "The Crown Star... ah, I see it."

Kael: "It's beautiful, right?"

Elanna: "Yes, indeed."

Kael: "The Crown Star is the most dazzling star in the Big Bear constellation, shining persistently throughout the year in the northern sky of the English Lance Federation, which is also where the saying [The crown of glory never falls, protecting humans through every long night] originates from.

Ah, also, the Guardian Hexagram beneath the Crown Star is a constellation we can see all year long."

Elanna: "Kael, do you like stars?"

Kael: "Not particularly, you know I have taken an astrology elective in the Secret Mage Academy, so I know a bit about these things.

But someone once told me, 'The nitrogen in our veins, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, and the carbon in the food we consume all originate from stars scattered during the big bang.
