“I see.”
Curtis replied quietly as I finished speaking.
I felt better. Even if Curtis condemned for everything I had just said, I was happy that he listened.
“Thank you for listening to .”
I said that honestly.
To Curtis, it might have been a boring story. Maybe it was sothing he didn’t want to hear. He might have thought that I lacked the awareness of being a saint at all.
But I thanked him from the bottom of my heart.
“The girl with the smile like an angel.”
“What?”
I couldn’t help but ask back at his sudden remark.
“My first impression of Liz. From everyone’s point of view, you were a ‘good girl’. I didn’t know what you were thinking inside. Sotis that even seed creepy to . But the real you is nice and human.”
Curtis was really good at hitting on girls.
…Still, those words saved . He said I was nice because I was human.
I felt so much lighter. Was this why everyone loved him so much?
“…Why did you co here?”
I asked a question that suddenly caught my attention. Silence followed, and after a while Curtis opened his mouth.
“Gilles told to visit.”
“Gilles?”
I couldn’t help but ask back at the ntion of soone I didn’t expect to hear from.
“Yeah. After seeing the real Liz, he’s been concerned about you in his own way. Gilles is busy with Will-sama right now, so I’m here.”
“…Oh, really. But I wonder why Gilles asked?”
I have known for a long ti that Gilles hated . He hated so much, and with such hatred that he didn’t even try to cover up.
That hatred was a feeling that could not be easily overco.
But he still worried about because he was really a kind person.
…I wondered if he was like Alicia-chan.
“Ali-chan is the axis of what he says and does; Ali-chan would say this, Ali-chan would act this way. I think he just goes along with whatever Ali-chan says or does.”
I envied Gilles. I didn’t have anyone like that to set an example for .
“And,” Curtis adds.
“If you’ve got ti to brood, why don’t you use your skills? Gilles said.”
I laughed aloud at those words.
That’s just like him. I could easily imagine Gilles saying that with a furrowed brow.
“Well, I don’t have ti to fret. There is nothing more I can do in this house! I have work to do for this country! It is my destiny.”
I stood up from the spot and smiled at Curtis.
The suffocating feeling I had just had was now gone.
“Yes, I agree. Besides, we’ve got to get Ali-chan and the others back as soon as possible, and the thought of her and Duke on vacation in a neighboring country is really pissing off, you know?”
Curtis’ words made smile even more.
