After dinner, Ariel, asked Shuri to serve her a cup of tea, then directly slumped on the bed like a dried fish left to sun dry on a string.
Shuri, who returns to the room with a cup of tea in her hand, witnesses this scene and broke out into a light smile.
Ariel's current state was a sign that she no longer have a strand of strength to lift a finger and sothing that is seen from ti to ti.
At tis like this, Shuri knew better than anyone else that it was the best thing to do her own chores without disturbing her tired master as much as possible and quietly prepare only what was necessary before going out.
Shuri, prepare an extra cup of tea for you too.
Yes? For .
Shuri, who was preparing tea cups and refreshnts on the table, expressed doubts about the sudden request of her master.
The aning of preparing for hers, it ans to have tea ti together.
However, the Ariel that Shuri had seen so far was a girl with a stricter distinction between master and servant than she thought.
It was common for her to talk with the subordinates, but she rarely asked for tea or als together.
Surprised by this, Shuri stared at Ariel with her eyes wide open, then smiled softly and nodded her head without saying anything.
It was because her masters intentions were sohow predictable.
Co on, my lady. You should get up before the tea gets cold.
Okay Theres nothing I can do about it, since I have to drink after I asked for it.
Ariel, who had been rolling over from side to side on the bed as if readying to get up for quite so ti, got up belatedly and walked towards the table with weak steps and sat down.
What are you doing? You, sit down too.
Ah yes.
When Shuri, who was really worried about whether she could sit with her master or not, stood still and was pondering, Ariel, feeling frustrated, pointed at the seat opposite with her chin.
What tea leaves are these? It tastes good.
It is called Dhalia. It entered the market a few days ago and the custors said it was good.
Is that so? hehehe .
Ariel wasnt a big fan of tea, but she often enjoyed drinking tea leaves that suited her taste.
And of all the tea leaves she's ever drank, this one was particularly good.
She's not sure if its a fruity scent or what not, but she felt a unique acidity in taste, so it left a refreshing aftertaste on her tastebud.
In these days, brew tea with this Dhalia leave. Are there any tea leaves left?
Yes, of course.
Good.
Even if there isn't enough, with the Robeheim familys connections, they could bring and present even the most precious tea leaves in front of this one and only heiress.
It is safe to say that there is nothing that Ariel desperately wanted and couldn't have.
No, to be exact, there was only one.
But why arent you saying anything?
Say what what shall I talk about?
You're being quite today. Isnt it usually at tis like this that you have to turn the tide of the conversation as a servant?
Indeed, this was a tyrannical aspect of her master that was recognized by Edgar.
However, she called the servant first as if she had sothing to say, and then blad the servant because she was afraid to speak!?
However, even in this situation, Shuri did not show any signs of embarrassnt, and she handed over an apology cautiously and opened her mouth.
Then, with all due respect, would it be all right if I start talking first?
Is there anything you want to say?
I didn't an that. Its just that I think I have a vague idea of what you want to say.
.
Except for Ariel's parents and Edgar, Shuri is the person who had been the longest person to stay beside Ariel, so Shuri was proud of herself to know Ariel very well.
The fact that her master, who has always been sowhat high-handed and sowhat blunt towards the servants, took the initiative today first must an that she had sothing to seek help with, even with a feeling of grasping at straws.
[T: grasping at straws ans an attempt to succeed.']
And looking back at the most recent incident that happened to Ariel, Shuri made a rough calculation and the answer ca out easily.
But would be up to the master she serves to decide whether or not she should say those words out aloud.
Ariel : Before, I have once asked about the story of you and Ronan. And at that ti, I was not being honest .
Shuri : Not honest at that ti what do you an?
Shuri's face held an expression of Then you are being honest now?'
Ariel : Wha.. what is with that tone of voice..?
Ariel expressed an embarrassed look at the tone of the servant who seed to be complaining but also asking!?
However, from Shuris point of view, it was a natural reaction.
At that ti, her master clearly denied the fact that she likes him, now she seems to express that she likes the boy but not enough to express it out aloud.
In the end, it seed to her that Ariels attitude towards Edgar had not changed much.
Even so, now Ive beco honest. Im saying that, but can a good look co out?
But then Ariel expresses that I want to be honest now'. How is Shuri supposed to conclude her master's intentions?
Do you want to love, my lady? Do you want to ?
Mmm, I dont know! It's sothing Ive never done before .
haaa.
Thats right, it is indeed so.
Shuri let out a sigh when she realized that her line of thoughts didn't seem to fit with her master's.
Co to think of it, the girl she is serving is also just a young girl who was about to be eighteen and fell in love for the first ti.
Just an ordinary girl who had to mature earlier than her peers and develop her abilities early.
The feeling of love is probably all that she has read through novels, literature books, or others.
In a way, it was natural for such a girl at her age to be anxious about how to deal with the unknown feelings she felt for the first ti in her life.
On the contrary, it must have been all the more confusing for Ariel because it was a matter that could not be learned only by theory, such as magic, martial arts, and family affairs.
Thinking of it that way, my master seems very cute.
Shuri knew that her master is a pretty and a cute girl from a young age, but thinking that all of today's actions ca from her innocence made Ariel's feel even cuter.
I dont know what the lady will think, but Ronan and I instantly fell in love with each other directly without a date or
Hmm? They said you guys were childhood friends, so both of you sohow ended up dating each other.
Of course, its true that I realized my feelings after seeing him often because we were childhood friends At first, I was confused too.
The story might have been a little different if one had been conscious of one's partner as a mber of the opposite sex from the beginning.
However, Shuri and Ronan did not et each other through a eting place or soone else's introduction, they were just childhood friends who had been playing hand in hand since a young age.
Thats why, when Shuri saw Ronan as a mber of the opposite sex for the first ti, she was at a loss as to what to do when she felt her heart's strange pounding.
Perhaps, if they weren't friends, but in a relationship where things could be cut off cleanly leaving behind no regrets, then she might have been able to go all out and confess boldly.
However, for Shuri, Ronan was an irreplaceable friend, and that acted as a fragile spot that holds her back.
Does the other person hold the sa feelings as hers? If her confession is rejected, what will their friendship end in?
Not even being able to maintain their friendship was sothing Shuri can't even imagine.
So I can understand how you feel right now. I was also hesitant, even when I realized to so extent that Ronan had feelings for .
He also You said?
Of course. He hasn't confessed yet, so it was just my wild guess, sothing that cant be sure.
There is a saying that to believe one in ten.
If it were to express Shuris feelings at the ti and Ariels now, that would be the perfect expression.
Is it true that he likes ? Does he see as a mber of the opposite sex?
Even if such speculations were rampant in her mind, the mont when she tried to reach out her hand for the answer, she hesitates.
Is she doing the right thing? Wouldnt their relationship just collapse in a night because of one misunderstanding?
So love is difficult.
Until one of the two conveys their sincerity, a situation inevitably cos where they just confront each other without knowing the truth.
Besides, its not sothing that happens because of soones fault.
Its just a funny situation that happens because they cherish each other too much.
Didnt the lady say that? If you confess to the young master first, you will lose.
Yes Yes it was.
But do you really an that? It seems to that even that is only a ans of avoidance.
Ariels body trembled for an instant at the servants sharp blow.
The content that she couldnt spit out to anyone, even to herself.
Hearing that through Shuris mouth made Ariel feel like a part of her heart was being torn apart.
how did you know?
I told you. I have had a similar experience.
The Shuri of the past and Ariel of the present were very similar.
If there is only one difference, is Ariel deceiving herself and continuing this act, but Shuri vowing to be honest with her feelings?
Young lady is just scared. Even though you believed that the young master liked the lady, you still hesitate because you aren't sure yet if your speculations are true.
If anyone heard about this conversation, theyll think you've pried apart my skull and looked into what is in my head.
Even if it isnt for a very long ti, Ive been watching my lady from the side all the ti. Even if I don't pay attention, I will still know.
At least, the girl Shuri had seen so far, Ariel Robeheim, was like that.
Sotis she cannot be honest with herself.
She is a girl who did not commit acts that her pride would not tolerate.
But before that, she had a personality that was more possessive than anyone else.
Cant she approach the first man in the world that she didn't have yet, sothing she wants more than anything else, then why talk about her pride?
Regarding this, Shuri couldnt help but tilt her head.
This is probably why he was happy when he realized that the young lady had feelings for you to so extent.
.
Ariel shook her head softly without answering.
It was Shuris words.
As always, she relied on the kindness of a boy nad Edgar.
Shuri thought Im sure hell co to you first this ti too, so you can wait for him to co before you reach out your hand first and tremble with anxiety.'
In other words, instead of relying on an uncertain future and hoping for progress in their relationship, they hoped for a more certain future, even if they looked sowhat farther away.
Even if it was questionable whether he really loved her as a woman, it was clear that she loved him as a man.
If Edgar ca to her first and whispered love into her ear, there wouldnt be a happy ending as sure as that.
The fact that you didnt honestly tell the young boy about candy That must have been the reason.
Oh, did you know?
I think you sotis see as an idiot. Of course, Im a bit blind, but .
Shuri pouted for so reason and inflated her cheeks a little.
It was a story that made no sense in the first place.
Do you keep saying things you dont want to say?
If soone who knew Ariels true intentions had seen that scene, they would never have believed it.
Just not yet. Anyone would have noticed that it was a lie of a clumsy girl who wanted to delay her heartfelt confession.
perhaps .
Shuri inadvertently rembered a mans face and let out a windy laugh.
If it was that person, who knew Ariel better than she did, there is a good chance that he can probably grasp the essence of the situation.
First, Ill clean up the tea cups and bowls and co back. Do you still have sothing you want to say?
Yeah.
Well, even if I stayed up all night, it wouldnt be enough.
Shuri also nodded as if she understood her feelings, and left the room, putting the empty teacup and the bowl that used to serve sweets on the trolley.
She's going to go back and listen to all the stories of her master who is so cute today.
The mont she opened the door with that feeling,
Ah!
uh hi?
In front of her, is the man who had been on the topic a mont before standing with his hand raised awkwardly.
Kuk Kuk. [Suppressed Laughter!]
Shuri couldnt hold back the laugh she had at the whim and burst out laughing involuntarily, and stood there with her mouth covered, then pointed to the room and opened her mouth to Edgar.
If you are looking for my lady, please co inside?
I haven't announced my presence yet, is that going to be okay?
Then, as her handmaid. I will take the punishnt.
Thanks, Shuri.
In response to his thanks, Shuri shook her head lightly and left the room with the trolley.
From Ariels position, the hallway was in a blind spot, so she probably didnt see Edgar.
If Young Master Edgar entered the room at this ti, there would be screams and, at least, a lot of noise.
My lady, do your best.
Without looking back, Shuri reached out one hand behind her and quietly closed the door, then crossed the hallway with her back straight as usual.
Sending cheers to her master, at least inwardly.
[T: sorry for the late update, I am studying a pretty ti demanding course and the chapters also gained alot more words. So, how do you think their confessions will go!?]
