ALL NOVEL Kaiser, are you playing a prank on me
- My Pov -
"Are you familiar with Frieda Reiss?"
After hearing my question, Historia's expression immediately changed to genuine surprise.
Because I only have a year left before Frieda Reiss inherits the power of the Founding Titan and before she finally succumbs to the will of the first king, I dare to ask this question. At the very least, I want to see if I can stop that from happening.
Even though I'm only a child of six years old, the fact that I'm not originally from this world gives me the confidence that I can manipulate the events that take place in this Attack on Titan world however I see fit.
The second reason is that I don't have to worry about Historia later suspecting me of something because her trust status is quite high in me.
When I finally reveal the real me to this world, Historia, like Milch, will be the person I can rely on the most and who will be my closest confidante.
"How do you know my older sister?" asked Historia, who was still wearing an expression of surprise on her face. Her blue eyes were looking at me as if they were curious, but her hands were still holding mine tightly up until this point.
Consequently, it is undeniable that Historia's high level of trust in me made her less wary of me even after I inquired about a sensitive topic pertaining to her family.
"I know that your family has great influence in this kingdom."
This time, Historia appeared to slightly inclined her head as she spoke in a more subdued tone, "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you earlier,"
As I gently ran my fingers through Historia's blonde hair, I reassured her, "Don't worry, I forgive you." I did so with a grin on my face.
Following that, Historia smiled brightly once more, and I then proceeded to say something else, "Because your older sister is so well-known in the city, I am familiar with Frieda Reiss."
Then, Historia simply nodded her head in agreement without even batting an eye at what I said, and she proceeded to explain it to me.
"My father once told me that I have an older sister named Frieda Reiss, but I have never had the opportunity to meet her."
It is perfectly reasonable to assume that Historia has never come into contact with Frieda Reiss. However, the reason I am inquiring about this is to verify that the timeline I am using is accurate.
Because I don't want it to happen if I miscalculate the year and my plans end up being derailed as a result.
"I hope you can meet her in the future," Because the two of us had been conversing while standing up, I mentioned this as I extended an invitation to Historia to sit down on this garden bench.
When we were seated next to each other, Historia was still firmly holding onto my hand, and after that, we continued to talk.
"Would you mind if I played at your house?" After hearing that, Historia appeared perplexed and unsure of what to say, but she eventually responded while displaying a sad expression.
"I don't know if my parents will allow it, and moreover, my father is very strict when it comes to allowing other people to come to the house."
"Are you sure you don't want to continue playing with me?" After hearing Historia's response, I voiced my dissatisfaction with it.
However, Historia hurriedly explained everything to me with a worried expression, "Of course not. I really want to be able to play with you every day."
"Then there is no need for concern because I will persuade your mother and father to grant permission for me to visit your home."
I attempted to put Historia at ease by giving her a reassuring smile, and just as I had hoped, she responded by enthusiastically nodding her head as if she were convinced by what I had said.
"umm...um... then I'll wait."
I have the impression that we are in a situation similar to that of a couple planning a secret meeting. At the same time, the parents of the girl's family are opposed to our relationship.
"ha ha ha ha..."
After thinking that, for some reason, I burst out laughing, while Historia, who saw me suddenly laughing, could only show a puzzled expression.
I started to raise my hand and tenderly caress Historia's soft cheek. At that precise moment, the expression on her face, which had previously been confused, changed into an embarrassed one.
"What have you gotten yourself into, Kaiser?" Historia inquired about it as she moved away from my hand, which was attempting to stroke her cheek.
As if pretending not to know, I tried to come up with an idea, after which I said, "Let go of my hand first."
Historia then obeyed my words and finally released her grasp from my hand.
This time, I attempted to show Historia an example by pulling her palms together and positioning them on both sides of my cheeks.
"This is just a game, the first one to turn eyes will lose, and in order to prevent anyone from cheating, we will do this."
Although she was still embarrassed, Historia appeared to simply nod her head and allow me to place my hands on her cheeks, just as she was doing to me at this very moment.
I am fully aware that what I am about to do is somewhat ridiculous. Still, I have no other option because I need Historia to become accustomed to this degree of closeness before I can move on to something even more intimate.
"hm... Kaiser, are you playing a prank on me."
Historia looked happy while we were playing this staring game, even though she was blushing, but her eyes were still fixed on mine, so we're stuck now.
"Your blue eyes are so beautiful, Historia, unlike my scary red eyes."
When Historia unexpectedly heard my words of praise, she immediately dismissed them by saying, "No, I don't think your red eyes are more beautiful than mine because I'm pretty sure no one else in this world has them except for you... I'm sure..."
When I attempted to give her cheek a light peck with the pad of my thumb, Historia became so embarrassed that she tried to turn her head away from me.
'Fuck it,' I said to myself inside my head.
After that, without any further ado, I brought my face closer to Historia and gently kissed her little pink lips. Immediately, the lust that I had been trying so hard to conceal for such a long time reappeared.
