「……」
「……」
「…Hnnn.」
「………」
「Heh……」
「………」
「…Hoh…」
「You’re annoying !!!」
I inadvertently raised my voice in an unladylike manner in the royal palace. I looked around in a panic and breathed out a sigh of relief to find no one but myself and Douglas-sama.
「What is it you’ve been up to, Douglas-sama?」
It was a good thing that the hallway was still private, but in a little while, the knight’s training area would co into view through the hallway. Today is an open training day, and the ladies have co to see the knights in training. If they see , I will have a bad reputation again.
Why are you looking down at comfortably next to when you should be quickly mingling with the public training? I’m getting annoyed, so can you please stop looking at like you’re trying to tell that!?
「Don’t get so mad.」
「Who’s the one who is mad!」
It hurts when they stare down at you from above your head. If I had sothing to say, I should’ve said it, but instead I just stare down at them from above and say nothing. You guessed it, didn’t you? I’m not a magician, so I can’t hear what’s going on in your mind!
「If you have sothing to say, please say so!」
Co on, co on, now that I’ve urged you, let’s spit it out.
「…That.」
「That?」
Which one is that thing in my head that has been stealing Douglas-sama’s gaze from a while ago?
「Ahh, you an this hair ornant?」
When I asked him that, Douglas-sama nodded.
「Is that the guy His Majesty was talking about?」
「Maybe so. It was given to by Ryniel-sama as a nto.」
This js a morial, a cautionary tale, but I’m sure that only Their Majesties and Mary know that this is a hair ornant given to by Ryniel-sama, except for myself and Ryniel-sama, who is the person in question.
The day after my shopping trip with Ryniel-sama, I returned to the royal palace to find Myra-sama waiting for , who couldn’t hide her sobbing. With sparkling eyes full of curiosity, she asked ,『How was it?』I couldn’t help but tell her everything. Including the fact that I was lectured. Myra-sama looked very unconvinced, but since this was my first date, it couldn’t be helped. I think Ryniel-sama did his best. It seems that he had strange expectations, but he was only dealing with . It’s not the sweet and sour date that Myra-sama is looking for, I am sorry to say. If anything, the morable first date ends on a dreary note.
「You went out with Ryniel?」
He’s talking out of his ass again, this one. How can you be so.
「I told you I got it as a morial. This is very thoughtful of Ryniel-sama.」
I don’t understand the thought that if you get a gift, it becos an imdiate relationship.
「But I hear you’ve agreed to break off the engagent.」
「That’s not wrong, but…」
Who is the correspondent? ari never spoke out, but I think the information is too early. The paperwork regarding the breakup of the engagent was in the preparation stage and hadn’t yet been filed.
「It’s too much of a leap. I do plan to break off the engagent, and I’m planning to go on a blind date soti soon, but I don’t have a partner in mind.」
「Hmmm… is that so?」
That’s right. So please don’t make any strange misunderstandings. I don’t want to cause strange trouble for Ryniel-sama. Even I’m getting a little nervous because the sermon is wearing on .
I glance up at Douglas-sama and see what a complicated look he has on his face.
「Haa, what is it? Is your self-proclaid elder brother isn’t pleased that his sister is now open to marriage?」
My own brother was so happy that he jumped up and down.
「I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be happy about this…」
「What is it again?」
Only Douglas-sama would react that way.
「Is that okay with you?」
「Why do you care if it’s fine or not?」
「So we don’t have to talk about it? Can you just break off the engagent without saying anything and not be left in a rut?」
「!?」
I was surprised. What surprised was that Douglas-sama, who has no sense of delicacy, said sothing that concerned . I was so surprised that I opened my big mouth. I want to praise myself for covering my mouth with my hand in a panic.
「Hey?」
「Ah, I’m sorry.」
I was a little moved. I had never thought that Douglas-sama had such emotion.
Mhhm, I cleared my throat, and after regaining my composure, I responded to Douglas-sama about what he had said.
「Being in left rut… you say. Hmm, I certainly haven’t had a single complaint. It’d be a lie to say that it’s not there at all… but he doesn’t even want to talk to .」
Mary’s words,『You have to get on board when the ti is right,』keep going through my mind. It may be a little different from what she ans, but I think there is such a thing as timing in things.
「I think the ti to talk has passed. It would be fruitless to discuss it now…」
Even now, there are tis when the anger from that ti flashes across my face, but no matter what I say, my feelings will never be conveyed. All I get in return is an apology with no feeling. Or he will play the role of a self-drunken tragic hero with hilarious excuses I don’t understand. Such disgusting discussions are a waste of ti and effort.
「…What is it?」
Douglas-sama patted my head.
「Are you perhaps laboring over it?」
It’s too much force for labor, though, and my hair is about to fall out. Well, I’ll take your kindness. It is a rare kindness from Douglas-sama, isn’t it?
「I know it’s not my place to say that if that’s what you want.」
「Fufu, thank you very much. But please let go. We will be seen.」
When I said this, Douglas-sama honestly put his hand down. I quickly rearranged my ssy hair.
「Well, you know what? If you need anything, just let know. Your self-proclaid brother here will listen to you.」
「I’ll be looking forward to seeing my self-proclaid brother in action then.」
「Expect big things from .」
I was so amused that I burst into laughter. I would have liked him to say it anyway, though, instead of『intend.』
