TN: Thank Nepper for the chapter.
“Shouldn’t I say, ‘Who do you think you are to interfere…!'”
Pala said, waiting for leaning against the door as I ca out after eting with Marquis Degrosis.
I smiled bitterly at Pala’s words and shrugged as I began to walk.
Pala also slowly followed behind , seeming to know that the reason Marquis Degrosis called her to the mansion was not to talk with her.
She and I walked without a word. Until we left the Degrosis estate.
Click.
I silently got into the carriage and looked at Pala while taking a long breath.
She looked at with a small sigh as if I were telling her to speak now if she had anything to say.
“What, do I have to say sothing?”
“I thought you’d surely complain…”
Even if not, she might say, “Who do you think you are to interfere?” or “Who are you to mortgage my life?”
After all, Pala’s dream was to be free from the Degrosis.
At the sa ti, it was to bring down the family.
“Just what do you take for…?”
“An eccentric noble lady?”
“Do you really want to die?”
After teasing Pala and lightening the mood a bit, I took another deep breath and slightly bowed my head.
“I’m sorry for acting on my own.”
Even if everything were for her sake, it wouldn’t be pleasant for things to happen without the consent of the person involved.
This would be especially true for Pala, who had moved according to Marquis Degrosis’ will all her life. Therefore, I had no choice but to offer an honest and clean apology.
Thinking about the conflict that arose from not telling Helena in ti, I had no choice.
So, it was better to clear up any misunderstandings right away.
“…What are you saying? You did that for , didn’t you?”
Of course, if there was sothing I had misjudged, it was that Pala was surprisingly clever.
“I think you just had a very rude thought…”
And she’s quick-witted.
Seeing Pala narrow her eyes and look at as if she had read my thoughts, I hurriedly shook my head and nodded again.
“…What are you doing?”
“The latter part is wrong, but the forr is right.”
“Are you really an idiot?”
I smiled awkwardly at Pala’s question.
I never dread she could read my inner thoughts.
Pala, looking at incredulously, shook her head and continued speaking.
“Anyway, you acted that way for my sake, right? I didn’t even think you’d be interested in in the first place.”
“…Hmm.”
Sohow, Pala’s words sounded sad to , and I found myself smiling and saying softly,
“I’m not uninterested.”
Though not romantic interest.
Swallowing the latter part, I spoke softly.
“…You, you, you lecher!!”
Thwack.
I had no choice but to get hit once by Pala.
***
[Now that you have his consent, behave well until you beco his property.]
Felix didn’t notice, but Pala had already received instructions from Marquis Degrosis.
Should one call it malicious that he gave instructions through a communication device so Felix couldn’t hear, or should one call it thorough?
Pala tried hard to compose her expression and stared at Felix, who was looking out the window.
‘Just what…’
What is this person?
The more ti she spent with him, the more questions arose.
At first, she thought he was a strange person.
Starting from how he noticed that she was wearing a mask to his reactions afterward.
Usually, when people realize that soone is dealing with others while wearing a mask, they tend to despise rather than sympathize.
Saying that the person is two-faced.
However, so people showed different reactions. People who tried to use her, the masked one.
People approached her, pretending to comfort her, as if they knew her secret, trying to use her sohow.
But Felix didn’t belong to either side.
He treated her as if it was the more natural thing to do. Thanks to that, she also stopped wearing her mask in front of Felix.
‘…Co to think of it.’
Suddenly, Pala realized she had been comfortable around Felix for so ti.
Realizing this, she couldn’t help but laugh hollowly and glare at him without knowing why.
‘Lecher.’
There were already three won around Felix.
In this society where polygamy was prevalent, it wasn’t such an unusual thing. Still, it was a different story when you look at who these people were.
First, there was Sylvia, who had been the talk of the academy from the mont she entered due to her outstanding beauty and had received countless confessions from n.
Then, there was Helena, his childhood friend, who was a beauty comparable to Sylvia.
Finally, there was none other than Ashillya Philippe Han Urlas, who had just been invested as the Crown Princess.
Felix’s existence beca increasingly strange since each wasn’t the type to hang onto one man.
And yet…
[I’m not uninterested.]
To say such a thing so nonchalantly!
Pala felt like she was about to burst. She was so frustrated that her face was heating up.
She let out a deep breath to cool down her heated face and shook her head as she turned to the window.
‘Just how many won are you planning to add?’
Although they say all n are wolves, wolves love only one female for their entire lives.
Why are all n so fickle?
As Pala was letting out a sigh that wasn’t quite a sigh, she realized sothing and couldn’t help but contort her expression strangely.
‘But why am I thinking like this?’
To put it bluntly, Felix was far from Pala’s type.
His face… was decently handso, his family background was sowhat impressive, and his personality was okay, but…!!
Anyway, she preferred soone with a serious and affectionate personality, not such a playful character.
Of course, Felix was sotis serious and affectionate too, but…!!
‘What am I thinking?!’
Pala couldn’t help but blink her big eyes in surprise without even realizing it.
If soone could read her thoughts, they might think she was a girl in love, wouldn’t they?
Laughing hollowly at the absurdity, Pala closed her eyes and opened them again to calm her strangely wavering heart.
“…Eek!!”
“Are you okay? Are you sick sowhere?”
Pala couldn’t help but be startled when she opened her eyes to see Felix looking at her with concern right in front of her.
The wavy, glossy red hair.
The deep, serious black eyes filled with concern.
The contrasting white skin without a single blemish.
The straight nose bridge and the sharp jawline befitting a man.
Everything entered Pala’s eyes.
Thump thump thump.
Her heartbeat was intense.
She thought she felt comfortable around him, but that wasn’t it. Her heart was beating so fast that her chest hurt.
“I’m, I’m fine…!! It’s nothing!! Yeah!!”
Pala hurriedly pushed Felix’s face away and shouted loudly, turning her face away so he couldn’t see and biting her lower lip.
Was it the suspension bridge effect?
Was she wavering so easily because her situation was too tragic? Or was it possible that she really…
…liked him?
‘That’s nonsense.’
Pala had t many more handso people, from better families, and kinder than Felix.
She hadn’t wavered for them. It wasn’t normal to feel this way about him now.
‘Did the head of the family do sothing?!’
She naturally thought of Marquis Degrosis at this inexplicable phenonon, but there was no way he could control her emotions.
He would have used it long ago if such a thing were possible. Then what on earth was this?
It was too ridiculous to think that she was feeling this way because of that one sentence just now.
It was just.
She had rely recalled the things he had done for her until now.
She had rely recalled the things he had done for others.
The mont she recalled this fact, Pala couldn’t help but grab her throbbing head.
At the sa ti, she had to admit it.
Felix von Astria was.
A good man.
He was too good a man for a doll like her.
He was kind and would help soone like her even without knowing her.
He was affectionate and always appeared to take care of her when her emotions wavered, even while pretending not to care.
Like a teenage girl, Pala secretly clutched her rapidly beating heart and had to squeeze her eyes shut.
They say love cos suddenly at so point.
They say it cos suddenly and shakes a person violently.
‘…But this is too sudden!!!’
Pala was about to go crazy and jump around.
