Millet knows well just what happened to Felton so she doesn't need to ask. She doesn't really care about him at this point.

When Issei arrived at the Kalars Village, he's greeted by them all.

Every Kalar - Welcome back, Issei-sama.

Issei - Um, I'm back.

Mertel - So, my king, I take it that you've made Millet the of Central as yours?

Mertel teased Issei slightly seeing him carrying Millet on his arms.

Issei - Ah. You could say that.

Millet knows that each of the kalars here is stronger than average and she becomes more awed seeing this many of them serving her lord. She's proud because this is how a True Dragon should be unlike that hag, she thought.

But after seeing the teasing gazes the kalars gave her she becomes even more embarrassed but there are some that are jealous of her so it's not that bad she guess. But she still needs to put up a proper appearance so she asked Issei to put her down.

Millet - M-Milord, can you put me down? I'm fine now...

Issei - Oh? Are you sure?

Millet - U-Un...

Issei - Very well. Mertel, give her a proper treatment because she just lost her first time recently, and it's while I'm in "That" mode as well...

All the kalars body trembled slightly when they heard Issei's words because they know just what he meant by "That" clearly. They've experienced it first hand after all.

Their body trembled not because they are afraid of it, but because of how good it was. It's their body natural reaction after hearing it.

Mertel - I see... That must've been... Unfortunate? Well, maybe not... Fufufu...

When Mertel saw the current face of Millet she knows that she must've been really enjoying it. Millet realizes the knowing gaze Mertel gave her and she blushed deeply once again because it's true that she really enjoys it back then.

Issei - Um, that's why treat her well okay?

Issei doesn't realize their silent communication and proceeds to talk normally.

Mertel - Hai.

He finally let Millet down after that.

Issei - Where's Croix?

Mertel - Oh, she's at her room waiting for you right now. Her room is the best room we have of course.

Issei - Um, got it.

Issei knew which room she's talking about because he spends some times inside it before when he visited the Kalars.

Issei - Then Millet, go ahead and follow Mertel. I will go meet Croix for now.

Millet - Ha.

Then Millet went with Mertel while Issei went to Croix's room.

...

When Issei's about to knock on Croix's room he heard her voice.

Croix - *Kuhn* *Kuhn*... Otouto's smell~ Hnnn~

Issei - ...

Why does this feel like another deja vu? Well, he better knock fast or it will elevate to something else altogether.

The Kalars never really clean the room thoroughly so granted Issei's smell still lingers inside it. They only rearrange the stuff and the likes. They also like Issei's smell after all.


*Knock* *Knock*

Croix - H-Hai?! Who is it?

Croix got startled because she was just about to touch herself while smelling Issei's smell on the bed.

Issei - It's Issei.

Croix - O-Otouto-kun?! J-Just a sec!

Then he heard rustling sounds coming from inside probably because Croix wanted to regain her composure or something. After a few minutes, she finally calls Issei in.

Croix - You can come in now.

When Issei entered the room he saw Croix standing beside the table with her usual smile but there's a tint of blush on her cheeks this time.

Issei chooses to ignore what he just heard before.

Issei - How are you feeling?

Croix - Eh? Ah, I'm totally fine. The kalars treated me very well in here, they're very nice to me. But it's kinda surprising seeing some of them become an angel and devil though...

Croix is also a bit taken aback after seeing the new kalars for the first time.

Issei - Well, I'll explain about that later and good to know that you're feeling okay...

Issei flashed a gentle smile but soon he held back his smile because he needs to inform her about Felton situation.

Issei - ...I've already handled Felton and his accomplices, sorry if you have any feelings towards him but-

Croix - No.

When Issei's still apologizing to her for killing her fiance because he wasn't sure if she has any feelings towards him or not, Croix cut his words.

Issei - Hm?

Croix - You don't have to apologize towards me about taking care of Prince Felton because I'm fully aware of what he's planning to do.

Croix was awake when she arrived at the but she can't move her body for some reason so she heard the conversation between Felton and Acheval loud and clear... Only idiot will love a man like Felton after hearing that whole conversation.

Croix - And I don't feel anything towards him as well... Do you know, our marriage is only a political marriage, there was no love involved.

Issei - ...I see... Then I apologize for making you go through all that, I basically used you as bait. I'm sorry... I will take any punishment you want to give me.

Issei bowed slightly because he feels bad for using Croix as a bait, he doesn't want Felton and Seydes to escape. If he saves Croix right away then Felton or Seydes might've escape beforehand. If any of those two escaped then the will keep existing and that's not what he wanted to see.

So he waited for Felton to arrive at the because he knows that he needs to report to Seydes after his "Success". Issei's plan is perfect and the only downside is that he needed Croix to play the role as bait.

Croix - ...You know, Ise...

After waiting for Croix to decide his punishment he heard her start talking, so he looks up only to see the ever-present gentle gaze of Croix along with her smile. But there's something more inside her gaze, there's relief, joy, happiness, longing, passion, and love?

He becomes puzzled, how come her gaze contains that many emotions? He understands she would feel relief, joy, and happiness but as for the others...

Then he saw her started to walk forward until she arrived at his front. She suddenly put both of her hands on his face, Issei is used to her close skinship so he doesn't mind it but there's something different from her touch this time. It feels more gentle than it used to be, it's like she's touching a delicate artwork and the like.

Croix - When I was kidnapped by Prince Felton, I never feel afraid at all... Do you know why?

Issei unconsciously shakes his head because he truly doesn't know.

Croix - It's because I know you're going to save me... I never stop believing that you will somehow save me from him. You promised me after all... When my father asked you to protect me, remember?

Of course Issei remembers it, he's a man of his words after all. Even before he became a dragon he always keeps his words.

Issei - Ah...

Croix - That's why I never lose hope nor feel fear the entire time... And I was right... You saved me... Even though it's not you personally but it's enough to know that you sent the kalars to save me.

Her gaze turned a little feverish and her soft fingers started to stroke his face gently and it kind of makes him feel itchy inside his heart.

Croix - Ne, Ise...

Issei thinks that this is the first time he heard her call him by his name and not his usual nickname.

Croix - Do you know who's the man I'm in love with?

Issei eyes widen hearing her question but he doesn't know how to respond to it, deep inside he already knows the answer to her question but he's still not 100% sure so he shakes his head gently.

Croix - You actually already know it didn't you?

Croix can see inside his eyes that he actually already knows the answer so she smiled gently at him.

Croix - It's you... You're the man I fell in love with, Ise...

Issei - ...

Issei is at loss for words after hearing Croix confession.

Croix - Ever since I first met you, I started to develop feelings towards you. It's like love at first sight... And my feelings keep growing when I see what kind of man you are. When I see how well you treat your wives... I keep getting more and more attracted to you... And from their faces, I can see happiness and joy for being your wife... To be honest, I feel jealous of them... At how free they are, for being able to marry the man they truly love... I even feel jealous of Riche... Jealous of my own beloved little sister for being able to marry you...

Issei - ...Croix.

Croix - ...And if I'm not engaged already, I would've pursued you, just like Riche did... But my duty as the royal princess doesn't allow me to be that selfish, because my selfishness would bring sorrow and trouble for my father and the people of Eden as well... So I buried my feelings thinking that we're not meant to be...

*Drip Drip*

Issei saw tears starting to flow from Croix's eyes and he felt excruciating pain inside his heart after seeing her tears that he doesn't know what to do after seeing it, but then he saw that she started to smile even though she's still crying.

Croix - ...But Mother Eve must've heard my prayer... I feel bad for feeling happy that Prince Felton is the member, but I can't help it... I can't help feeling happy and glad at the same time... Because that means I could also pursue my own true love... I can finally do what I want for the first time in my entire life... I can choose the man I want to marry... So, Ise... My beloved otouto-kun... Will you accept my feelings?... Will you accept this foolish princess feeling?

There's no way Issei can refuse her confession and he doesn't want to refuse her anyway, so he obviously accepts her feelings.

Issei - ...Ah, I accept.

Then Issei saw the most beautiful smile blooming on Croix face, the prettiest and happiest smile she ever has. Issei instantly becomes captivated at that smile of hers.

Croix closes her eyes and puckered her lips slightly, and Issei knows just what she wants and he obviously going to obey her wish. He held her body close and finally... Their lips are connected and the same goes for both of their hearts as well.

Croix felt like she's in bliss right now. She never felt so happy in her entire life, she's finally in the arms of the man she truly loves...

After a few minutes, they finally stopped their kiss and they both gazes at each other before chuckling together.

Issei - I don't know what would Riche think about this...

Croix - Hmm, I think she's going to be happy because her beloved onee-chan is going to join the family~
