“Do I have sothing on my face?”
Duke’s words brought back to myself. He was looking at with a curious expression.
I guess I’d been staring blankly at Duke since I’d overheard Arnold and Joanne’s conversation yesterday. I also couldn’t get the rose out of my head.
“Nah, nothing.”
I quickly replied.
“Are you sure you’re not in love with Duke?”
l looked at with a mischievous grin.
I silently glared at her as l said, “Wow, you are giving such a look to a pretty girl like !?” But I ignored her.
We were talking about Liz Cather’s move in the old library, though I didn’t go into much detail about what I’d discussed with her.
I guess I could have told her, but I felt like I needed to protect my privacy. Even if it was about Liz Cather.
I felt like I didn’t need to bother telling l about Liz Cather’s love and jealousy.
“Liz was super depressing today!!!!”
l said as she licked a candy bar which she got from who knows where.
“What’s going on?”
“She’s trying so hard to get to Duke! She should have known that I don’t want to be around her!”
l imdiately responded to Henry’s words.
I wondered where in the world l had learned to speak like that, as she was an aristocrat.
“What exactly did they do to you?”
Duke’s brow furrowed as he opened his mouth, as if he was quite annoyed by Liz Cather’s behavior.
“She’s acting worse than before. She talks to at all tis, she invites to lunch no matter how many tis I refuse, and the most exhausting ti is during the special class that those who have reached level 100 must attend.”
I wondered. In general, she was supposed to be a positive girl who would never let a broken heart bring her down, but I had no idea how depressing it beca for her simply because she was Liz Cather….
“She’s starting to get desperate?”
Henry muttered with a wry smile.
“And why is it so hard for Liz to be aware of her surroundings!”
“What do you an?”
“The students want to support Liz’s love life, and they keep telling Duke how nice and amazing she is. Quite a few of them have co up to Duke just today.”
Henry answered on l’s behalf.
“What? That’s super annoying!”
“Liz-sama is very compassionate, intelligent, and beautiful, not only in appearance but also in heart, and I can’t tell you how many tis she has saved my life!”
l mimics the Liz followers.
Wow, what an easy-to-follow imitation. I could instantly imagine the situation.
“I don’t want to be saved on the basis of a flimsy belief that only exists on the surface! I don’t want that kind of superficial, flimsy belief!”
l looked at with a strong gaze to see if I agreed with her sentints. I nodded my head in agreent.
“It’s terrible to think every day from here on out will be like that.”
Henry said as if he understood Duke’s feelings.
