Act Gracefully As A Villainous Lady

"... hey, what happened?

What?

Willem regained consciousness with a worrying voice from the side.

If you gaze at the voice, Mary Rose and her eyebrows look worried.

... I did it.

No, it's okay.

"Aren't you tired? Today..."

"No, I'm totally fine!!

Willem sighed softly as he hurriedly stopped Meliá Rose, who was about to get up.

At the corner of the royal garden, on a bench by the pond.

Does Mary Rose realize that she might be seen by someone? She is sitting at a distance from Willem more than usual without a heart.

The distance between the two of us, which has been slightly opened, is somehow frustrating,

As for Willem, I don't care if anyone else sees her, and I'd rather show her, but she won't.

"It's really nothing. Think a little bit."

At midnight today, Willem stops fighting Jeffrey.

I thought I'd talk to Mary Rose, but I didn't want to waste any time adding to her burden.

"What are thoughts?

Willem laughed and opened his mouth to Mary Rose, who asked her a little dissatisfied.

"No, it seems to have changed the perfume, so what brand is it?"

"Did you notice that!!?

Suddenly, Mary Rose became as red as her bright red hair.

The reaction was adorable, and Willem narrowed the distance between them slightly and put his nose to her neck.

"I'll notice.... because it's a change in who I like more than anyone else."

"... stupid"

Mary Rose turned bright red to the tip of her ear and leaned down, but she didn't resist.

"Edith taught me. She's surprisingly sensitive to the fashion. Even the most popular brand amongst young women these days……… is getting too high!

When I try to get on my feet and hug you, I'm slightly hit in the head.

Looks like we're not getting any closer.

"Well, I don't even know who's watching!

There's nobody here.

"I don't know. It could be lurking on that tree!!

I wanted to say that it's stupid... but it's not impossible.

Especially around Julia, it's not strange to sneak up on a tree.

After a series of sin theaters during this time, Mary Rose became quite vigilant.

Willem was delighted to have been so defenseless until now, but he couldn't say so if he could avoid even having an affair with himself.

"... don't you like seeing me around so much?"

At such a moment, a shadow falls on your heart.

Uneven, unworthy, you'd better get out of here... It's been spoken to Willem more than once.

Still, I thought it would be fine if Mary Rose liked me.

But maybe Mary Rose's preference is for a moment's confusion.

Perhaps she was just unconsciously trying to fill a hole in her heart when her best friend, Linnet, became the prince's fiancée, a childhood friend.

Maybe it wasn't Willem who filled the hole.

... such a dark idea is overwhelming my head.

"Hey, Mary Rose..."

Already!

But in the next moment, the drooling feelings that covered Willem's heart were misted away by the voice of Mary Rose, who looked back at us.

"You have no idea! Stupid glasses!!

"That's why I don't wear glasses anymore."

"I'm tired of that story too! A bit of a new trick... not exactly!!

Mary Rose, who dyed her face rose-colored, once she cut off her words there, she began to murmur with a small voice.

"Why don't you get up here and get some weird rumors? Your father and oniisama will be happy to pull us apart. So....."

Meliá Rose's hand is gently extended to us.

And her thin, supple fingertips gently touched Willem's hand.

"I want to be with you forever... That's why I can't let you pull my leg on something weird right now.... please understand"

Gently wrap your fingers around each other, and Meliá Rose tells her to be small.

Willem was surprised. I thought it might be a dream for a moment, but the definite body temperature at my fingertips tells me that this is real.

Mary Rose was not merely shy, nor was she trying to reject Willem.

She's... looking to the future of both of us.

I was just braving myself to stay with you.

Willem was ashamed of himself, who was about three minutes ago about to be flushed with emotion.

Absolutely... she always startles me.

"... I see."

"Yes, that's right! I wonder if you could put on your glasses again and see things more properly!?

"Oh, Mr. Mary Rose, are you surprised to be a glasses fetish?

"---!! That's not what I meant!!

At last, the shame reached its limit, and Mary Rose stared at us with tears.

I can't wait to love that look.

"... Mr. Mary Rose"

"What is it?"

I like it.

After an unexpected confession, Mary Rose opened her eyes to surprise for a moment... and fell down embarrassed.

But Willem's ears were filled with her little whisper.

"... me too"

I don't want to let go, there's no way I can let go.

I want to protect her at the very side all the time.

Willem regained his resolve.
