Drop!! ～A Tale of the Fragrance Princess～ (WN)

Sometimes his legs were a little tired and Cordelia sat down on the bench.

I can't take a long break, but if I go home early, consideration from Elvis will be wasted. Let's ease the fatigue in the time allowed before we go back - yes, Cordelia thinks, the footsteps slowly approached. It was Vernault who came.

"I knew you were tired of that pile of greetings."

"The way you put it, you got tired when you were Master Vernault."

"Oh. I know you're happy to be celebrated, but I was wondering what it's like to have to accumulate fatigue on a happy day"

But while I said that, it doesn't look like I really wanted you to give me a break.

"Neighbor, do you mind?

"Yeah. Did you enjoy today?

"Oh, a lot of people were coming, so I let them talk. Everyone else is probably so obsessed with talking that they don't even realize Dili's missing it, they're so excited."

"Oh, is my presence thin?

"If Dili is thin, who's thick? Everyone must have been satisfied today because they don't think they can talk to Dili a second time. There's going to be a pile of invitations for the Tea Party."

"Oh, I'm looking forward to that."

However, if it's a mountain or so, it will also require some strength. But if you want to get a lot of information, your face just wants to be as messed up as possible.

"One thing, it's serious. Dili hasn't been directly involved with Countess Clyde since she returned to the King's Capital, has she?

"Yep. I think it would be best if I stayed out of it,"

"Unfortunately, I don't seem to intend to do that over there. The name is the one that hasn't said it clearly, but thank you. He's been telling me all around the dream announcement that 'there's a bad warrant lady who's thinking about things that aren't good'."

"And you think that 'Bad Lady' is me?

"I didn't say her name clearly, but she looks like a red-eyed girl."

"You're pretty much saying it. Thank you for your advice."

There's no way he is, such as a red-eyed daughter.

Cordelia sighed when she attacked me in a childish way.

"Well, but Dillie was right to go to Uncle Weltrian. Looks like Count Clyde Laine's warrant says' Bad Lady 'is trying to get close to His Highness using any hand, but Dili has been away from the King's Capital for two years instead of getting close. Seems that the lady didn't know about it, but there are quite a few people who doubt that the announcement is inaccurate, thanks to the fact that sociable Wertorian uncles and Hazel ladies said about Dili's trip to Wertorian territory everywhere"

"Thank you, Auntie and Hazel."

"It's also because of the fact that Dili was doing well all over the place."

Hazel never told me that directly, but Cordelia thought I had to convey her deep appreciation the next time I saw her. Today's invitees to the nightclub are basically the main couple of each house, and besides that, they are a heir like Vernault.

But Hazel has invited me to a tea party at a later date instead of today. He said he wanted us to look forward to celebrating.

But I've noticed that before, even though I think about it.

"Mr. Vernault seems to be getting along better with Mr. Hazel than I thought."

"Why does that happen?"

"Is it not? At least I don't think I'm as bad as I used to be, to see from the mouthpiece earlier."

……

"If you don't want to tell me, I won't ask you in detail."

Sometimes I wonder what it means to shut your mouth with a difficult face instead of the usual spare light mouth. At least, I don't seem to get a bad impression from the atmosphere we were talking about earlier, but it doesn't look like sweet words will come out because it's not like the look on your face right now or the lightning out.

"... I don't know if I should be pressed, like I used to, but lately she seems like a courtier who can treat me normally. She had a lot of tension in the moving library after Dili slipped out."

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

But the wrinkles between Vernault's brows just thicken.

"I just can't help but wonder if my old impressions are coming off and I'm getting a little carried away... on the contrary, my attitude is getting suspicious"

"Pfft."

"What?"

"No, I thought Hazel might be the only young lady who could haunt Vernault."

"It's not a laugh."

Cordelia had only a little difficulty getting the laugh out of it, though, as it is rare to see Vernault's spare time being broken. And letting Vernault react so honestly made me wonder if Hazel's talent in a way.

But Hazel also seems to have behaved well in the past two years enough to dispel the old impression of being completely drawn away.

(It doesn't look like we're still developing into a relationship with this, but Master Vernault isn't quite the one to show an honest attitude, or maybe it's an out-of-the-box combination.)

But Cordelia said nothing, even joking about such things and pissing Vernault off would annoy Hazel as well. It's just that I'd be happy for Cordelia if she'd at least get along as a friend.

"Well, let's get back to it. That lady's manners are awkward, but her obsession looks terrific. You're lucky you weren't on the table until you were an adult, so your face isn't that wide."

"Maybe it took you a while to master courtesy. I'm just wondering what happened."

"Speaking of which, two years ago, Clay said it was scattered, but I haven't heard any rumors that it's still terrible."

So does that mean it has taken shape to some extent?

It is a must if we are to live in an aristocratic society, but just as in the present situation we could honestly not even congratulate Cordelia.

"Either way, at the same time as there are those who are surprised, it is also true that there are mysterious or fantastic ladies who are fascinated. Be careful."

"Yes. I was prepared to some extent. I knew you hated me two years before the war was declared."

It is firmly engraved in my memory that Sherry's attitude has changed dramatically before and after Zakharov's incident.

(But surrounding people and blowing their pussies, you act like I know 'Cordelia')

As I read in the book, did Shelley start saying this because she started using her powers for herself? But by the way, it's no coincidence that you have such a false dream.

"We can deny it when it comes to what we can prove. But you don't believe me when I say," I'm not going anywhere near Your Highness. "

"Oh. I guess the most worrying thing is that more people believe in Miss Clyde Raine than they think Dillie is a nasty courtier who gets tangled up in a nasty courtier. We'll have to do something early."

"If you look directly at each other, you can see trouble happening."

"Sorry, we're supposed to talk about this on a happy day."

"Why is Master Vernault apologizing? It's important."

"But you'll be disgusted, too. I was just wondering, as Dilly said yesterday, if it would be nice for me to see your old lady again and again. I don't think the servant would want to hear much about it, so I was wondering if today would be convenient."

Yes. Cordelia laughed small at Vernault shrugging her shoulders.

"I don't know, it's weird. I can't believe the day came when Master Vernault was only here to eat cake and hear those words"

"I think it's strange, too. I was sincerely hoping you'd spare me being taken all over by your father, but I'm glad you brought me here. I could get a good childhood."

Cordelia opened her eyes when she heard the words.

Vernault didn't make fun of him, he also looked relaxed, the most serene look I've ever seen.

"That's unusual."

"It's a celebratory day. I'm not gonna tell you tomorrow."

"That's a shame. But I think I was lucky enough to meet Master Vernault, too. Because spending time with Vernault and Jill is very enjoyable and important"

It's really important that you have been able to travel with friends who can talk to you so reluctantly.

Vernor, however, had the same look on his face as Cordelia earlier.

"If they say something like that, it sounds like it's not Dili"

I thought you said "Master Vernault."

"I'm fine, it's just for today."

"Well, I'm only available now, too"

"Right, just for now"

But Vernault had a smile on his face.

"What is it?

"No, then I just thought you should go to Jill and do it too. Wouldn't it be pathetic to be out of company?

……

Sure, there's no reason to tell Vernault and not to tell Jill.

But I also felt it would be different to dare write that in a letter and entrust it to Vernault. I just don't know when the next time I'm going to be face-to-face with Jill.

"Well, I won't force you. I'm sorry he's not here."

"Right. For one thing, the next time I see you, I might tell you when this is the way it goes...... you can't write to me. Pending."

"Well, if it stays in the letter, I'll be ashamed of it later."

"It's nothing to be ashamed of."

"Really?

Cordelia was stunned by Vernor's story as if black history were to be finalized.

"But if it's important, I still have to tell them directly."

"Then tell him if you can say it directly. Well, now I'm more concerned about that warrant than that. I really don't know what that Miss Clyde Raine means to be so vigilant about Dili. If you can't see the contradiction between reality and dreams that often hit you, you can't be the queen of the future when you kick Dili down."

"Kicking it off or nothing in the first place, I have nothing to do with the dispute she wants. But it's a relief to have Lord Vernault and Lord Clive on your side."

"Well, without us, Your Highness's eyes aren't a pit."

Cordelia was gently slammed in the forehead by Vernault, who stood up to say so.

"Don't lose. Use anything you can. Me or Clay, Miss Hazel would be happy to help. It looks like you were getting a more powerful card today."

"Thank you. But do you think I'll lose?

"I don't want to think it was such a nasty childhood thing."

"Yawawa... this is still a weak warrant."

"I praise you for having a firm core... but where are you weak? A weak young lady won't ride or sneak around."

And we looked at each other, and they blew it almost simultaneously.

"It's time for me to go back. Exactly, I was wondering if any more breaks would be too famous."

"Right. If you come back with me, I'll be a little slower because I might be stunned by the Count."

"Yep. It may be dark and hard to see flowers, but it smells good, so enjoy it"

Most of all, I don't remember Vernault loving flowers in Cordelia even when he came in the daytime.

But at that time, soft and strong winds blew through the area.

The wind is only for a moment, and the noise reaches my ear again soon.

……

"What's wrong?

"No.... Um, strange thing to say...... could there be, Master Jill?

There's nothing strange about it. That's the view of the usual night in the familiar garden.

But still, I felt the air somewhere unusual, but I knew it.

"That's just great. You don't see it and there's no sign of it, you know what I mean?"

"After all, are you here"

It's a little different from the faint atmosphere that I felt at Hale Mansion when I was twelve.

Jill was using the mask then to inhibit their perception, but the signs are even thinner than that.

Even if they tell me I'm here now, I still can't feel the signs.

(Maybe I just don't know because they use a mask I don't even know about... I really can't feel any signs)

Even if I was informed that I was there, if I didn't realize I was in that place, it wouldn't be the same procedure. Does that mean Jill has grown and is even better at keeping secrets? If that's the case, I guess it means I'm getting more wobbly... but in any case, I don't know why I can see you there even though I don't know the signs.

But being here must mean you're here to celebrate.

Cordelia waited for Jill to show up, but Jill doesn't.

"Please, did you?

Speaking out in wonder, there's no response.

The voice of Vernault sounded instead.

"Jill, he said he can't show his face today. So, thanks for coming to see me."

"To Master Vernault?

An unexpected look on your face would also leave you with no choice.

Vernault, with his face open, stopped about six steps ahead.

And when I put out my right hand, the paper suddenly appeared there, and Cordelia rounded her eyes.

(Really, you're here)

Even if it was confirmed, I couldn't help but be surprised if it suddenly appeared like a trick.

"Tell Dili to give me this."

Seeing that, it was a bearer birthday card.

I just found out that it belongs to Jill because it's a word I'm used to seeing.

"Did you come to deliver this?

"Oh. I was asked to, too, but just today, he said he refused to give it to me in public because it could also give him a weird misconception around, so he came himself"

"... while it's good, you thought there might be occasions for the two of us to talk, like right now?

"Well, put that away. That's why he was thinking of putting it near the gate so someone could bring it in. If I hadn't put it in an envelope, it might have arrived because I knew it wasn't dangerous. But he came in because he thought there seemed to be something."

There are a lot of people today, and the place for security is more limited than usual.

If Jill can get rid of all these signs, maybe he can come to this place without any problems.

But.

"Then why don't you show me your face? You don't even have people's eyes."

"Well, give him a break. It's for Dili, too."

"Huh?"

Cordelia tilted her neck as Vernault sheltered yesterday when she revealed her name and told Jill to deliver the letter herself as well.

"If Jill gets into Jill's parents' ears that Jill is here poorly, he'll definitely daughter-in-law Dili, Grr. Hey, don't hit me all of a sudden."

"... Dear Vernault, I think that's natural to be beaten up. Just kidding, don't hone your taste a little bit more"

I wondered what you were going to say, I didn't say anything busy.

Cordelia sighed as she regretted listening seriously.

(But if Jill wasn't your eldest son, it would certainly be unnatural to be here.)

So that Hazel doesn't come here, maybe Jill also can't come where he's supposed to be. Nonetheless, if it were in someone's eyes to be on this occasion, there would also be unnecessary rumors.

But even while Cordelia thinks so, Vernor and Jill still seem to be having some interaction, but from the looks of it, it's terribly funny in Vernor's one-man play.

"No, 'cause you do"

"Yes, yes, okay, okay. I'm sorry."

"Uh, I'll ask you again next time, so give me a break today. You, go home already."

Shit, and Cordelia finally blew it out when she saw it as if even the dog was going to get rid of it.

"You know, Dili. Don't you dare do this to me."

"I'm sorry, because I have no idea what your expression is or what your voice is"

"Uh, already, Jill, you. Show yourself now."

"Don't force me to do it. It's because of Vernault."

"No, it must be because Jill came on his own"

But Cordelia decided to gently flush it out, as listening to Vernault is probably not going to be agreeable today.

Instead, I thanked Jill, who would be there.

"Thank you for coming to celebrate and say it. The hair decoration you gave me, does it look good on you?

I don't hear a response.

But I felt like soft air had come from a space where there was nothing.

"Well, it's really time to go back."

"Oh. Well, I'll tell you about Jill's trespass."

"Don't make it so much, and let me ask you a favor, too."

And after one last thank you, Cordelia went back to the hall.

It's a shame I didn't see a friend I haven't seen for a whole two years, but I felt from the invisible interaction with Vernault that the atmosphere wasn't involved at all, I guess.
