“It is only vain to be loved on terms.”
…Isabella sohow sounded a bit like Liz-san.
I sohow get that vibe from her. It was good that she could speak her mind, even though she was frightened just now.
“What! What do you know! I don’t want to be talked to like that by a little girl who doesn’t know anything about hardship!”
…I felt like I was watching a farce.
Everyone was going through a hard ti at so point. If you live, you were bound to have bad tis. I knew nothing about Marry’s background, so I didn’t know anything about her.
I wouldn’t be able to sympathize with her even if I asked her….
I yawn involuntarily. As I covered my mouth with my hand, I noticed that everyone’s eyes were on .
“Eh?”
I didn’t expect that a single yawn would draw so much attention, so I couldn’t help but sound dumb.
“What?”
“How can you yawn under such circumstances…. Just because you are one of the five great nobles…. Do you enjoy making fun of ? You must be sneering at in your heart. You enjoy watching crumble like this, don’t you!”
She glared at forcefully.
I stared at her with a blank stare, not expecting her to be so defiant.
“Hey Marry, stop it.”
“You shut up!”
She brushes off Harris’ words.
“I don’t care what happens to . It’s over for anyway. If I’m going to live in hell from now on, I’m going to give the Williams’ young lady a fight!”
She slowly stood up on wobbly legs.
“What is this hysterical old woman?”
“Gilles, that is not the way to talk.”
I warn lightly at Gilles’ little mutterings.
But Marry was in such a bad state that Gilles had to say sothing like that.
“You think Alicia-sama is making fun of you like that because you’ve made fun of so many people in your life, don’t you?”
Isabella’s voice echoed through the restaurant.
…How could she speak to Marry in this state?
“What! You! What’s wrong with ? Money is everything! What’s wrong with loving money?”
“I don’t see anything wrong with it. It’s a conditional love.”
I had not rejected Marry’s way of love from the beginning.
She froze with her mouth open at my words. Everyone around us was also surprised by my unexpected statent.
“On the other hand, isn’t it impossible to have soone love you unconditionally?”
No one responded with anything. If I continued to speak my mind, wouldn’t I be back on stage again?
…Oh well, a Villainess should stand out!
“Love is all about showing off your commodity. Making yourself look attractive is the key. Kindness, fun, and personality are all part of the requirents for love.”
“But love without love…”
Isabella spoke up, confused.
I shifted my gaze from Marry to her.
“There are people for whom love equals money. That’s the difference in values, isn’t it? There are a lot of people who use their financial power as a weapon to seduce won. As long as they are attracted to that charm and can be happy, I don’t mind. He approached her by telling her he was from the Auges Trading Company, didn’t he?”
“That’s…”
Harris shut his mouth uncomfortably.
“But what happens when the money runs out?”
Isabella stared at with a sowhat appealing look in her eyes.
She probably wanted to affirm her “free love”. But I was not that kind of girl.
I could not speak nicely, and I did not have the generosity of a saintly heart. Sorry, Isabella.
“It’s okay to break up. Breaking up is not a cri. If she can’t love you because your finances have run out, then just break up the relationship. Love cos in different forms.”
Maybe there was a chance that he would find love without compensation.
I think I have been loved by the people around . But they love because I am .
If I were stupid, arrogant, and a nobody, no one would look at .
All the personalities and abilities that co with contribute to being loved.
“No one would bla anyone for loving soone based on their financial power. But whether soone with financial power will choose you or not is another story.”
I said quietly, looking at Marry.
