Fleur pressed down her wide-brimd hat.
No one recognized that she was Fleur, thanks to the blonde hair pulled up and tucked inside the hat.
However, Fleur was not relieved, so she looked around and was busy taking care of her body.
Shes in the slums now.
According to information from Largo, a child nad Theo often cos and goes here.
She had to et him sohow.
Fleur looked around and tried to find the boy with green hair.
It was then.
A green-haired boy ca into her eyes.
Dark skin and tall figure. It is just as pictured in the portrait.
Theo!
Fleur hurried up to Theo.
Then she grabbed his arm.
Youre Theo, right?
Theo was embarrassed by the sudden appearance of a woman and couldnt even think of shaking off her arm. Fleur continued.
Theo, right? Youre working for the Duke of Ryzen.
Thats true.
Theo unexpectedly answered. Fleurs lips rose brightly.
I ca here because I have sothing to tell you.
Who are you?
Theo asked in a very alert voice. Fleur smiled and pulled her chin.
Who do you think I am?
Then she gently lifts her hat.
Her outstanding beauty is known throughout the empire. She showed her face because she thought theres no way Theo couldnt know.
But.
I dont know.
Theo is a slum boy.
No wonder he doesnt know Fleurs face.
Embarrassed by Theos reaction, Fleur lowered her hat again and mumbled.
.Fleur William.
For a mont, Theo recalled what Ophelia had said.
Have you t the Countess of Fleur before?
The Fleur that Ophelia was talking about seed to be the woman in front of him.
But why did she co to him?
No, did the madam know that this woman would co to him?
Its a very confusing situation.
Theo frowned slightly.
But, whats the matter?
I told you. I ca to tell you sothing.
What do you want to say?
Theo still spoke in a vigilant voice. So Fleur paused for a mont.
What should she say first?
Fleur rolled the words in her mouth.
Hows your relationship with Ophelia?
Yes?
I an, hows your relationship with Duchess Ophelia Ryzen?
Theo had no idea why the woman in front of him was saying this.
So he decided to answer briefly.
Its very nice.
Is that so?
Hmm.
Fleur narrowed her eyes.
As much as between Ophelia and Duke Sylvester?
As soon as Fleurs question was finished, Theos face twisted.
This is it.
Fleurs lips twisted up.
You want to get closer to Ophelia. Right?
Theos eyes shook.
Its true that he wants to be closer to Ophelia.
Doesnt he wish for that every day?
When will Madam find him, will it co today, will it cotomorrow?
But he doesnt know why he should listen to a woman he doesnt know.
Theo shook his head a couple of tis before answering firmly.
I dont know why youre saying this. Ill be on my way now. Im busy.
Wait!
Fleur grabbed Theos arm again as he was leaving.
If you listen to , you can make Ophelia yours.
And spoke in an urgent voice.
Im telling you, Ill make it yours.
Fleurs eyes, speaking so, were flashing with great greed.
*****
Ugh
When I woke up in the morning, I struggled with the pain I felt again.
Its because Sylvester bullied last night.
Ah, muscle pain.
This is the part where I can see how much I havent exercised regularly.
I slowly lifted myself up, turning my stiff shoulders. Sylvester ca into the room just in ti.
Are you awake?
He had a really clean face.
Unlike , who is sick and is about to fall asleep again.
Hes so annoying.
Hmph.
I snorted and rolled my eyes.
Why are you so fine?
?
Sylvester raised his eyebrows and said.
Of course I cant be sick, because if I did, then I wont be able to do it today.
Ah, really!
He really never let it slide!
I covered my chest with a blanket and glared at him.
Im not going to eat breakfast. I have no appetite.
I thought so, so I only brought coffee. Drink it.
Sylvester picked up a kettle and poured coffee into the cup, then held out a cup of coffee to .
I cant just insist that I wont eat it even if he does this for .
I sipped my coffee.
And I looked at Sylvesters eyes.
Youre not going to go out until I eat again, right?
Thats right.
Then I have no choice but to eat it all.
I took a sip of coffee again.
The coffee is especially good today. Its delicious. I thought so.
By the way,
Listening to Sylvester, I took another sip of coffee.
The 2nd Prince is coming.
Cough!
And then I spit it out.
Cough, cough!
Are you okay?
Sylvester took by the chin in surprise.
He picks up a handkerchief and cleans my mouth and looks at here and there.
I frowned as I pushed away such a Sylvester.
Im not okay. Its not okay at all. Why is he coming?
Sylvester replied, wiping the coffee that ran down my chin.
They said that the ban has just been lifted. That is why he cos to see us first.
Maybe
Maybe?
He must have heard sowhere that I t the Crown Prince.
Ah.
Now I understand.
It seed as if he had run in a single step, fearing that Sylvester might be taken away by Callian.
Thats why he ca to you with concern?
Yeah.
Haa.
I rubbed my forehead and let out a long sigh.
What are you going to do?
I cant send it back, so Ill have to welco it first.
Sylvester continued.
And Ill talk in moderation. First of all, I wont let him notice that I betrayed him.
Of course you should.
Sylvester is right in what he does.
Now he is looking to join hands with Callian. So first of all, it was good to move without Largo knowing.
But.
There is sothing that bothers .
The 2nd Prince doesnt like . Is it okay?
Its .
Largo hates terribly.
If he ran into , it was clear that he would pour a lot of verbal abuse at .
What should I do?
I bit my lips nervously.
So I have sothing to say.
This is what Sylvester said to .
About what?
Sylvester took a deep breath.
Dont co out of the room. Until the 2nd Prince leaves.
.
Well, this.
I frowned.
Its an excellent solution. How can you be such a genius?
At my words, Sylvester smiled and blushed.
Really? Im embarrassed.
Its not a complint!
Hes such a tactless man.
I clicked my tongue and shook my head.
First of all I understand, I also think it would be better if we didnt run into each other.
Yeah. Its a relief.
Sylvester, who had an awkward look, soon smiled and nodded.
Then Ill go out.
Then he kisses my forehead gently.
See you in the evening.
As I traced his warmth, I put a shy smile on my lips.
Co here.
Huh?
Your necktie is crooked.
I fixed his tie.
It feels like were a married couple.
No wonder I felt shy.
But I didnt reveal it.
Because we were really married.
Yeah.
We are a married couple.
We can never break up, and we have to overco any hardships together.
Thinking so, I patted Sylvester on the back.
Sylvester stood blankly, then smiled brightly at and kissed my cheek again.
It was a day where sothing bad was going to happen, but nevertheless, we were happy.
