Chapter 69: Quiet Talk – dia and Tasel
Tasel confessed to dia and proposed to her.
This piece of news was circulating among all the army’s soldiers.
That dia.......That dia is getting married.
“dia? Are we talking about that dia-sama?”
“Marriage? For real?....”
“Who’s the fool........He’s part of the Duke’s Army!?”
“Are you saying that soone in the Duke’s Army is doing this knowingly?”
The guys were uproarious and the fortress beca rather noisy.
“Hohoho, don’t let anyone stand in their way. Lord Zest told too, you know, that every fool who tries to get in the way will get killed.”
“ “Yes sir!” “
Zest and the Frontier Count......According to their instructions, the stage for the confession was progressing steadily.
And so, in a room inside the fortress, nonchalantly prepared for the occasion, dia was enjoying so black tea. She got asked to co here by Zest.
“I wonder why he asked for ........No way, is Lord Zest going to...?”
If you were to ask the man himself, he would let out so sharp words, muttered to himself, rather than directed to anyone in particular.
However, she didn’t dislike that about him. She felt so sort of good will towards Zest.
On the other side, as a forr Japanese, Zest understood her.
He treated her like he would treat any woman, he didn’t look down on her. He was the first man who acknowledged her for who she actually was.
Still, she actually knew that Zest wouldn’t do such a thing.
She knew that he was madly in love with his wife Beatrice, so much so that whenever he had so spare ti, he would spend it with his wife.
“Haa, I would do anything for soone to fall in love with like that......”
She put down the tea cup she had in her hand for what seed like a very long ti.
She suddenly looked at the door and saw a man standing there, looking at her.
“Tasel? What’s wrong? Why are you here?”
“dia-sama, I have sothing to tell you. Please, let’s get married!”
‘Ah! Not again.’
She muttered to herself.
‘How many tis has it been until now......? I like you, I love you, I want to marry you. But, in the end, everyone is the sa.’
The man standing in front of her was Tasel, a forr adventurer and the Commander of the Scouting Unit.
Still, he was probably the sa as the others.
“Oh my! I appreciate the proposal. However, I am not the type of woman you think I am.......I’m sorry.”
She inford him with her usual speech and smile.
‘.........I am not a woman. I’m sure that once everyone tells him about , he’ll just give up.’
The man’s shoulders dropped, as he left the room, heartbroken.
The woman silently stared at his retreating figure.
...............Her eyes looked so sad.
How much ti has passed?
Duke Zest was yet to show up........Still, it wasn’t sothing unusual.
It was normal for a highly ranked noble like him, a duke, to let a viscount’s daughter wait.
Waiting silently was noble’s job as well.
Baam.
The door was violently opened.
Did he finally co?
She put down the tea cup and was about to stand when she felt soone embrace her from behind.
“Eh!?”
She voiced her shock involuntarily.
‘Is Duke Zest...? Why?.........Or maybe? Maybe it’s not him?’
She was extrely confused. Nonetheless he approached and whispered to her ear.
“dia-sama, I am a forr adventurer. I’m not a noble and I’m weaker than you.”
‘Tasel? Why is he still in this room?’
He hugged her closer, as she was still fighting confusion.
“I know about dia-sama’s circumstances.”
She shook Tasel off and stared at him angrily.
He knows my circumstances? Then why did he co?......To make fun of ?
Did he co to look down on for being like this despite being a man!?
She was burning with anger......But right in front of her, Tasel started to take off his clothes.
“What are you.........”
What are you doing?
It’s what she was about to say, but she grew silent.
No, more likely she couldn’t say anything.
“It’s the first ti....The first ti I’m eting soone having the sa problem as ........I am a woman........But.......”
She looked on, silently.
She looked at Tasel’s body.......She looked at that body which had the characteristics of a woman.
“I am a woman, but I don’t mind having you as a man. I am in love with you.........Do you.......Do you hate as a woman?”
“..................No way!”
“It doesn’t matter to that you’re a man. I love you!”
“..........................”
“dia-sama, I really like you.”
Tasel approached slowly and hugged dia closely.
“Please tell .........Do you hate as a woman?”
dia cried for a long ti, as Tasel embraced her and continued to ask that question over and over again.
It was the first ti......It was the first ti soone knew about her circumstances, but still acted like this. Tasel still claid he loved her.
He told her that he’ll accept her even as a man. And he was embracing her closely.
It was the first ti.
The first ti she felt that she didn’t want to ever part from him.
Two people entered the fortress’ office, which was recently transford into Duke Zest’s room.
“How cos you two are getting along now?”
Zest was wearing the sa calm and gentle smile as ever.
They were holding their hands and they both wanted to convey to Zest the sa thing.
“ “We are getting married!” “
They said and lowered their heads. That’s when the words which exceeded their expectations got to their ears.
“Congrats. I’m happy for you. And don’t worry, I’ll take care of the fine details. Since I’ll be the diator, I won’t let anyone complain about this.........You just concentrate on becoming happy together!”
While watching Zest declare that to them then start laughing, they both decided.
That they’ll forever follow Duke Zest.........That they’ll beco his sword and shield.
