Act Gracefully As A Villainous Lady

146 Time of Match (2)

"Don't be silly...."

Jeffrey stared at the tip of Willem's sword with a daze.

---... I won.

I thought I'd lose once.

But Willem showed his victory as declared to Mary Rose.

"Willem!!

Because I thought about Mary Rose, I even heard her call her by her name.

It's finally the end of the day... and I sighed and found something hitting my back.

"Willem, Willem...!

Unbelievable... Willem looked back.

A small person wearing a black jacket is trembling on his back.

Excluded from the hood is the characteristic red hair -

"Mr. Mary Rose!?

I can't believe she's here.

But when he grabbed the thin shoulder in a hurry, he lifted his hood and raised his face.

"You're hiding something so dangerous from me... it's not terrible!

"No, no, no... why are you here!!?

"Don't underestimate my network! I can't believe what you're doing!!

While saying something angry in her mouth, Mary Rose's fingertips grabbed the edge of Willem's clothes.

The behavior was teased, and Willem gently embraced his trembling body.

"... sorry for worrying you."

Without saying anything, Mary Rose pressed her head against Willem's chest.

"... Meliárose?

It seemed that Jeffrey, who was stunned, finally returned to his senses.

In Willem's arms, Mary Rose's body jumped, and Willem turned to Jeffrey to protect her.

"I won the match. Leave as soon as you know."

"Before we do that, I'd like to talk to Mary Rose."

"What are you..."

It's okay, Willem.

Soon after stopping, Mary Rose slipped out of Willem's arms and confronted Jeffrey.

Willem keeps an eye on them so that Jeffrey can move as soon as he tries to do something to Mary Rose.

Geoffrey, who stood up, stared straight at Mary Rose.

"... Meliárose"

"What is it, Jeffrey?"

"Are you... really going to accompany this man?"

The question sounded more worried about the fate of Mary Rose than about making fun of Willem.

Meliárose was not upset and replied gently.

"Yeah, I'm serious."

"Isn't this a temporary fire play? Do you understand that many things can be lost by that choice?

"At least I know better than you."

"I see....."

After Jeffrey wandered his gaze like he was on a tour, he stared straight at Mary Rose again.

Well then, that's fine.

"... eh?

Geoffrey smiled at Mary Rose with surprisingly rounded eyes.

"If you're ready, that's fine. And...."

Jeffrey's gaze is serious. And Willem reflexively put his hand to grip the handle of the sword.

"It would bother me if I told you this again, but I liked you..."

"............... eh?

Meliá Rose shouted foolishly.

The voice sounded like, "I didn't think so."

--You didn't mean it...?

The possibility that Jeffrey liked Mary Rose was also shared with Mary Rose in Willem and Bertram.

But as far as Mary Rose was concerned, she didn't take it seriously at all.

Willem sympathized slightly with his troubled lover.
