Synopsis
Creakโฆ bang!
The door slowly opened, then suddenly burst wide with a loud crash as light poured inside.
A man walked in, his jacket slung over one hand.
The manโs right eye was ash-gray. Yesโthose very eyes that Sasha had once thought were as beautiful as falling rain.
โMajor! Major, sir!โ
โโฆWho are you?โ
Only then did Sasha realize her position. He still did not know that she had been a girl.
Her eyes trembled slightly in panic as she bit down on her lower lip, searching for the right words.
She could not think of any other way to escape this predicament.
โTh-thatโs right. Iโmโฆ the child you once took in, Your Grace. Sasha.โ
In the end, she confessed everything.
But something felt strange.
โItโs a punishment. A punishment for failing to become a proper, refined lady.โ
Before she realized it, she had grown close to him in a way she had never expectedโ
far too close.
