Chapter 96 Change-3
“Young Lady! I truly adore you! For a long time now, even before I met you!”
He clenched his fists and spat out the words with burning eyes.
My heart was pounding wildly with excitement at finally speaking my true feelings.
Then, a moment later, I let out a deep sigh.
“Ah, do you think this is too absurd? Should I not mention that it started even before we met?”
Before going to find Lady Sojeo, I found a secluded open space and pondered what to say to confess my feelings to her.
“How about this? Sojeo! To my eyes, you are the most beautiful in the world! More than Cheongyeon Sojeo! Far more than Dang Sojeo!”
But after saying that, I shook my head again.
“Sigh, no matter how much I adore Lady Na, this feels too fake, doesn’t it? Should I just say looks aren’t important? That I fell for Lady Na’s kind heart?”
I’d already thought of dozens of phrases and rehearsed them, but nothing felt right.
They all felt either too childish or overly dramatic.
Then, sighing deeply, he thought.
‘Is this really something I should be doing?’
After eighty years of cultivation, the confidence that had filled my body like a solid mass vanished like air along with the dozens of confessions I’d rehearsed in my imagination, leaving only a bare skeleton behind.
It seemed that inner strength and confidence were indeed different things.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t imagine Miss Nao accepting my confession.
