Chapter 31: Devastating
“Hey, Olga.”
The after school of the day Oswald ca to visit our classroom for the first ti.
As usual, I arrived at the staircase (there was the incident with Serena, so I went to the popular one) leading to Keith’s classroom.
There, soone called out to .
“… Ahh, hello.”
It was the always smiling Oswald.
… He should be in the sa school year as Lance since he’s his friend… is Oswald on his way ho too?
Then quickly go if that’s the case. I’m not returning after all.
“Yeah, you are beautiful as always」
“Haah, thanks.”
I, fundantally, don’t trust the complints of the noblen.
Rishell and others are different, but everyone else approaches because they want to form ties with my influential noble family.
… Although Oswald doesn’t seem to be soone like that, does he not have any self-respect?
Probably not.
“By the way Olga, I have sothing I’d like to ask you.”
No, I thought so too before, but you have been calling my na all of sudden. I don’t mind though.
… Sothing you would like to ask? He’s a womanizer, so he might lock up and do this and that to …
Perceiving my wild delusions, Oswald smiled wryly.
“I won’t drag you to so strange place, you can answer right here.”
“… Haah.”
I feel like I’ve been letting out sighs all this ti, but there’s no helping for it.
It’s unavoidable.
Oswald lowered his voice so the surroundings wouldn’t hear.
“… You, is it the truth that you want to live in the countryside? I’ve heard about it from Lance, but…”
“…!”
I raised my face and looked at Oswald.
He was smiling as usual.
… I can’t read him. What is he planning by asking that?
“… My House has a fief in the countryside… I think I would like to grant your wish, but…”
“!? … Are you serious!?”
Forgetting to lower my voice, I yelled out loud.
… All the students got surprised and averted their gazes.
“Ah, I am sorry…”
Right, this was a place with people…
I raised my voice in surprise and delight.
Taking a look at Oswald, thinking whether I angered him, he was still smiling.
… Just how much does this person smile?
Are his mitic muscles fixed in place, I wonder?
While thinking that Oswald and Rishell were sowhat similar, I addressed Oswald once more.
“… I’m sorry, I lost control… so, were you telling the truth about letting live in the countryside?”
“Ah, so it was the truth after all… yeah, how about changing a place to sowhere we can have a proper talk?”
I hesitated for a bit, but I recalled that Keith was waiting for .
“… Ah, I’m sorry. My steward is waiting for .”
Even though it was a good chance to live in the countryside…
At least, would it be not possible to leave the talk for another day?
“… Huh, then how about we talk on the way to that person’s classroom? Would that be all right?”
Thinking for a bit, there was no reason to decline, so I nodded in acknowledgnt.
… It’s fine, right?
Keith won’t report it to Otousama, will he…?
“Good… then, shall we go?”
Oswald said so.
I heard his story while going down the staircase.
… I thought he would be all goofy like always, but he was unexpectedly serious.
“… For one, the Rinburg region belongs to our fief. Do you know where Rinburg region is located?”
“… Yes. If I’m not mistaken… it’s adjacent with Regulia, right?”
Regulia is the neighboring country’s na and that country is known for it’s proactive trading.
Rinburg is in the west of our country, which is far, far away from Capital which is located in the center.
If I took refugee there, the possibility of eting those guys would be close to zero.
“Right, I believe that you would be able to live the countryside life you are so desiring, but…”
“Yes, it’s ideal.”
… With that, I might not be dying.
Rinburg is considered obsolete, and there’s a little population too.
In other words, I wouldn’t be seeing Rishell and others.
While feeling relieved, I had one question.
… Why is Oswald, whom I have just t treating so kindly?
“… Umm, why are you so kind to ?”
“Because I felt in love with you at first sight.”
… I’m sorry?
Fell in love at first sight?
Is that a type of rice?
… I don’t quite understand what he ans, but what should I say?
“Ah, eh… ha?”
“My heart throbbed the mont I saw you. Your long pretty hair, gentle-looking eyes, your dignified posture. I thought I t my destined person.”
Oswald continued talking while I was dumbfounded.
Ah, this is not good.
He’s not listening to .
First of all, I have to tell him that I won’t go out just with anyone…
“U, umm, I’m sorry, but I…”
“Ahh, I understand. You have no interest in having a lover, right?”
I heard from Lance, Oswald said with a dried laugh.
… Lance, do you know what personal privacy is?
Don’t talk about anything and everything…
“Besides, I’m proposing this because I want to do sothing for you. I won’t say sothing like marry if you want to live in the countryside, so don’t mind it.”
“Ah, yes.”
My thought process can’t catch up.
First, my tension from being able to live in the countryside raised to MAX, then I was told that he fell in love with at first sight.
… What a thing.
I have not noticed Oswald whose corner of the lips raised while watching because I was internally screaming Nooo!.
