The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

Chapter 443: Green Eyes

"Why is your eye like that?"

'My lens broke. What should I do?'

'Should I tell her? It's Elena, so it should be fine.'

"Let's go somewhere else first, then I will tell you."

There was a garden in the shopping mall which could be accessed through fees.

Das rented the garden. The first thing he did was--- wash his face.

Elena was still looking at Das with a worried look on her face.

Das sat on the bench, and Elena sat beside him.

"Does it hurt?" Elena asked.

Das shook his head. "It doesn't. I was bleeding because my lens broke."

"You were wearing a lens?"

"Yeah," Das moved his hand to his eyes and tried to take out his lens, but he kept missing.

"What are you doing?"

"Trying to take off the lens."

Elena stood up and sat on her knees in front of Das, then cradled his face. "Let me see."

Elena moved her hand to Das' eye and stared closely. "Stay still; I will take it out."

"No."

"Why? Doesn't it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, but it feels itchy every time I blink."

"Then you should take it off."

"I am trying to take it off."

"I will do it."

"No, you won't."

"Why?"

"This is not any ordinary lens that you just need to  remove."

Elena didn't know about Das' lens, and she thought it would just be some normal lens that could be taken off by removing it.

"Are you lying?" Elena asked with mixed expressions on her face.

"I am not. It's deeply attached to my nerves. If you mess up, I might go blind."

Elena immediately pulled back her hand. She looked at Das' knees and muttered, "Can't I do anything to help me? This way, I am just useless and burdening you."

Das patted Elena's head and moved his hand down to her chin, then lifted her face up. "No, you are not. Watching you worry for me feels nice."

"I don't know what to say."

Das grinned and said, "Can you turn on your camera and show me? I want to take off the lens."

Elena nodded and took out her phone, then opened the camera and showed the screen to Das.

"Please stay like that," Das zoomed a little and moved his hand to his eyes, then slowly grabbed both pieces of the lens and pulled it in one go.

"Argh!" His eyes immediately closed, and he grunted in pain.

Elena threw her phone and held Das in her arms. "Does it hurt?"

"Only a little."

Das then showed Elena the lens. It had a long wire-like structure attached to it.

"What type of lens is this?"

"It's complicated." Das opened his eyes and said with a gentle smile on his face, "This is my real eye color."

"Green?"

"Yeah."

Elena stared at Luka for a while as her face slowly cheered up. "Okay."

"..." Das furrowed his eyebrows. 'What's with that reaction? She saw my green eyes, right? Shouldn't she be asking me tons of questions, right?' 

Das thought if Elena knew he was a royal, she would change her behavior, but she showed no sign of any change. 'Could it be that she doesn't know about green eyes at all?'

Certainly, that was the case. Elena had no idea that green eyes belonged to royals. Though even if she knew, Elena would have stayed the same.

Das couldn't expect Elena to change her personality or behavior after knowing about him. However, he was indeed a little anxious as he couldn't deny the possibility of Elena leaving him.

Elena then moved closer to Das, held his face in her hands, and then moved her face closer.

Das' face flushed. 'Her face is so close! What is she trying to do?! Is she is  she trying to kiss me or something?'

Elena was trying to take a closer look at Das' eye, and he didn't consider asking Das before doing that. It was a matter of time for Elena to realize what she was doing.

"There is no injury in your eye." She took her eyes off Das' eye and saw Das looking at her. There was less than a two-inch difference between their faces.

Elena's face immediately flushed, but she didn't try to move away. She stared back at Das. 

After a while, she started moving her face closer. At this point, Das wanted to stop her, but he didn't--- he couldn't.

Elena bumped her forehead with Das' and closed her eyes.

"Uhh Elena?"

"Let me stay like this for a while." Their breaths were hitting each other's faces, but neither of them wanted to move away.

Das took a deep breath, and only one thought passed his mind. 'She smells really nice.'

Das unconsciously moved his lips closer to Elena's lips and tried to kiss her. Elena's eyes were closed, so she was unaware of that.

When their lips were about to touch, Das grabbed Elena's shoulders and pushed her back.

"Sorry,"

Elena puffed her cheeks and picked up her phone. "Umn!" Elena let out a weird voice.

"What's wrong?"

Elena looked at Das with teary eyes and showed him her phone's screen; it was cracked.

"How did this happen?"

"I threw my phone earlier," She said in a broken voice.

"..." Sweat poured down Das' forehead. 'What should I do?'

Sigh~

Elena sighed and put her phone back in her pocket, then looked at Das. "Let's go."

"What about your phone?"

"It's fine."

"But--" Elena grabbed Das' hand and pulled him. "Hey!"

Elena didn't say anything else and kept pulling Das.

"Do you have money to repair it?" Das asked.

"I do, but I won't have it repaired."

"Why?"

"My birthday is coming soon."

"Oh! So you are buying a new one?"

"No" She turned around and grabbed Das' arm.

'Isn't she touching me too much?! Is she angry?'

Das kept feeling Elena's warmth. 'I can feel a soft sensation around my arm.'

Das glanced at his arm. 'Is this sensation from her breasts?' Das pondered. 'But her breasts are small. How could they give such soft sensation?' Das glanced at Elena and noticed her flushed face. 'I guess small ones are good too.'
