Act Gracefully As A Villainous Lady

"I am the third son of Count Hershel's family."

Looking at the distance somewhere, Willem groaned so pompously.

"Three noble men. What a spare for the inheritance. You can't expect inheritance, so you have to figure out how to shake yourself. Fortunately, we've had knights for a long time, and since I was a little girl, I've only had the archery of swordsmanship followed."

I see. Cynthia's right.

Merriah Rose was just a little surprised at Willem because she didn't have that image at all.

"The minister asked me out when I was thinking about leaving the house... and I thought it was a chance."

"Opportunity?"

"My role is surrounding the prince. I can get closer to the prince with the minister's ink. If the Prince remembers, he'll be able to come out in the future... and that's what I was planning to do."

Willem turned towards Meliá Rose as he poured a bite of fried jaga.

"Of course I respect the prince now, and I think he's a fine man. I also want to serve you sincerely. But the beginning is such a good motive. So, I wasn't purely wishing you two the same happiness as Mr. Meliárose."

That's all Willem said, he leaned down like he had lost his power.

"... contempt, did you"

"No, you can't be."

When Meliá Rose answers that immediately, Willem looks back at Meliá Rose as surprised.

To him like that, Meliá Rose smiled softly.

"You must have a good idea of your future. I think I'm fine."

Meliá Rose and I don't know if we had any plans at all.

Willem looks to where he is going. It's very different from Merriam Rose, who just got flushed around.

That's enough to make me feel a little blind about him.

"Not bad, no matter what trigger. If it works out eventually, that's fine. Besides, we're having such a hard time... don't you think we could expect a little something in return?

When I say that and laugh mischievously, Willem also chuckles so that he can be stuck.

I'm sure he's... a little over-thinking.

"Successful planning, of course... for a little while, you won't be punished for having fun."

"Maybe... maybe"

"Yes, yes. Yeah, you, why don't you try dressing like that from time to time?

Suggesting so, Willem shook his head left and right again and again as he panicked.

"You can't do that! The Prince's surroundings must never be too conspicuous."

"I wonder if that's what it is..."

Indeed, if Willem had been dressed like he is today from time to time, the female students would have made a scene.

If that were the case, I might no longer have been anywhere near supporting the love between the prince and Julia.

"But you don't... you don't want to get a little noise from a female student or something?

"... Looking at princes and bertrams, I don't think it's ever going to be all good"

"Hmm, so you don't have someone you like?

When asked so, Willem's cheeks became slightly red.

To that palpable reaction, Merriam Rose raised her mouth angle and let her eyes shine.

"I knew you were here! Hey, who?

"Beh, it's nothing like that."

"That's not good. He told me. Could it be that you have a crush on Julia? Or maybe Lynette!

"Ha, not at all. Are you..."

Willem lifted his forehead with a groan, and pulled a tight gaze toward Merriam Rose.

Apparently you're not willing to tell me honestly.

Boring, said Melia Rose, pointing her mouth in dissatisfaction.

"But I'm sorry to hear that. I asked her out on a date."

"No, because it was me who brought it up.... Merriam-Rose, for once, I don't care who he is, don't make such a frivolous invitation."

Does that mean keeping the Duke's house properly dignified and moderate as a villain's warrant lady?

Indeed, Merriam Rose was also reflecting sufficiently on this one.

"Yeah, I know. I'm done with this. Tomorrow we'll have to go back to the proper villain warrant."

"Mr. Meliárose......"

"But the prince, Julia, Bertram, you have someone to fall in love with... sounds like fun"

On that point, Merriah Rose was honestly envious of them.

From the heart, I feel so anxious to fall in love with someone that I throw out my position and everything.

Meliá Rose is something we don't know yet.

"One day, I'll see..."

It's like a love story, pure thoughts.

"Mr. Meliárose."

When the thought was about to sink, Willem's strong will made him feel his voice pull him back.

Turning his gaze, Willem was staring at Merriam-Rose more seriously than he'd ever seen before.

In the wake of that strong gaze, Merriah Rose becomes unable to move as if she had been sewn on the spot.

"Mr. Meliárose, I..."

Willem repeatedly opened his mouth and closed it several times before... raising his face as he had decided.

Meliá Rose's gaze intertwines with Willem's.

And when he tried to keep talking...

"Come on, come on. Take a look! It's the best band in Wangdu!!

I hear a shout echoing all over the square, and Merriam Rose and Willem unexpectedly do their gaze over there.

Seen, there is a crowd of musicians with instruments around the center of the square, surrounding it.

Looks like more and more people are still coming together when they realize that.

"You were playing outdoors today."

"... do you want to see?

"Of course!!

If Meliá Rose wants, she can also make it easier to enjoy an orchestra performance in one of the finest halls in the country.

But the opportunity to listen to these performances on these occasions will not come inside.

There is no way to miss this place.

"Try not to slip away."

"Then I'm stuck with you."

".................. Yes"

To avoid falling off in the crowd, Merriah Rose walks out trying to tangle her own arm in Willem's arm.

Willem skillfully guided me when I was about to run into people.

And Merriah Rose was able to enjoy playing safely outdoors.

Listening to the orchestra play in an unusual enthusiasm, Meliárose reminded him of what Willem had tried to say earlier.

But, well, you can ask me later... and I immediately drove him to the corner of my thought.

And while I was intoxicated by the light music, I completely forgot about it.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Uh, it was fun......!

Enjoy playing in the square, glancing at the boulevard store and now in the middle of walking on a small, less popular street a little deeper.

It's time for the sun to set. We can't keep Willem in captivity forever, and if it gets too late, the house folks will worry.

It was time for Meliá Rose to realize that this pleasant time was drawing to an end.

... yet, I don't want to go home.

In an effort to keep quiet until Willem mentions it, Meliá Rose swallows the words gently down to her throat.

That was the time.

"Huh...!

All of a sudden, Willem, walking beside him, squeezed Merriam-Rose's hand tightly.

As soon as that happened, Merriah Rose's heartbeat jumped.

"Hey, what..."

"Keep going, walk"

Listening to it that way as I wandered around, it was more of an instruction than a reply that even made me feel cold somewhere back.

Immediately, Melia Rose realizes something unexpected has happened.

Immediately close your mouth and clear your ears...... I also found out why Willem said that to Melia Rose.

Regular, multiple footsteps.

- Are you being followed?

"... it's okay, calm down"

"Yeah, I'm calm."

At times like this, the more in a hurry, the worse things get.

Yes. Remembering what I was taught a long time ago, Melia Rose gently repeatedly spinning her head.

There are two of them now, a small street that doesn't have much of a chance.

Some roads lead to boulevards, while others lead to dim alleys.

We need to get back to the main street somehow... It was when Merriah Rose thought that.

I hear Willem's tongue-in-cheek like him, and Melia Rose looks up softly.

There were several apparently evil looking people waiting for the two of them.
