Get ready and stare straight into Raphael's purple eyes. He finds out everything anyway. Harassment of Sofia at a young age, and about this kidnapping. Then there is no escape.
"Me too, you mean? Hopefully, we'll find a prison in the Mizumiya."
Until the end, I decided I was a villain.
I'm also ready to go to jail.
It must be some mistake that Raphael said he was going to marry me.
He narrowed his eyes for a moment and exhaled his golden hair. Earlier, I wanted to give you back your forehead.
"Nica, don't you get it yet? You don't like me that much?
Shake your head and deny it.
There's no way you don't like it.
Then you don't have to worry so much.
"Good. Then we'll get married in two months, as planned."
"... Yes?
You still say that? You're just gonna ignore it, looking at the evidence Phil Bale brought you? Then what happens to my promise to my sister-in-law?
"What about Sophia? Tell my father about ourselves..."
"Oh. Were you listening to that story, too, Nica"
Raphael doesn't look bad at all. After the ball, I tell you to marry me here and now, promising to tell my father about Sophia and her friendship with herself.
Maybe two strands? Marriage is me, and I really like Sophia. I don't think my father would forgive me, and what an impossible combination of both heroine and villain warrant lady. Prince, are you kidding me?
"That's crazy. Then why would Sophia come out here?
"Why? 'Cause Sophia and you are going to be allowed to get along, aren't you? Soon after you broke up with me."
"Nica, you're still..."
He sighs.
But I didn't say anything wrong.
Because I saw it with these eyes and heard it clearly that day.
"It's going to be long. Just sit down."
Raphael leads me to the bench. If I obey honestly, he also sits next to me and puts his long legs together. And I started talking when I laughed like I was in trouble.
"Remember I told you before that royal humans were born with magic?
"Yeah, sure. Surely that's what delayed growth at a young age, wasn't it?
"Yes. It just varies from person to person, too. Growth was particularly slow in my case"
"Really? Because I don't know anything else..."
The magic thing is just a little stated in Lanobe. So actually, I, too, barely know.
Old me, if you ask me, didn't doubt Elle for believing she was a girl. He was so luxurious and small that he thought he was the same age as Sophia.
"Until the age of ten, the amount of magic and growth is inversely proportional. The more magical the slower the growth, the faster the less. Except for the structure of the head. Of all the kids, Nica was the only one who talked and was funny."
"Thanks for that. But most of what I told you back then was about 'Branois', right? I didn't think you were telling the story to our prince."
That's a good memory now too... not! Why are you doing this all the time?
"Ever since then, I've only been concerned about one person. I kept going to the Duke's house for a reason to be on her side."
I know. That must mean Sophia, right? You're going to reveal your feelings for her now.
"There's a place on the border one day, and she starts avoiding me. Then I was determined not to let her get away with it."
Could that have happened?
I think my sister-in-law was perfect for Elle at all times though.
"I complained that I wouldn't be engaged if it wasn't for her. Otherwise, we have to carry on the trail. Exactly my troubled father worked aggressively against the Duke who was opposed"
- Is that it?
"I told her to get engaged because she didn't mind herself or just the shape. Even if you keep saying guards are better than me. That way we can be sure, we can stay next door until eighteen."
Wait. Raphael's talking about me? That's crazy. Then why did you prioritize Sofia then?
"You sacrificed yourself and engaged me, didn't you? To protect Sophia."
"Where did you get that idea from?
"You told me you wanted less mean to Sophia, didn't you?
"Right? Because the Duke, who is adorable about his daughter, wasn't going to let you go yet. If you, the mischievous one, are judged not to be worthy of the prince's opponent, the engagement story itself will be put back on the blank. Besides, every time you were mean to Sofia yourself, you did. Then I blamed it on me and thought I should stop."
"Really..."
When I was a little girl, Rafael seemed to like me. So when did you change your mind?
"I thought he was a funny kid at first. Because I truly believe that I was reborn into the world of books."
"I thought you explained why, too? He said he had memories of his past life."
"Right. Now somehow, I understand. I liked her driving and knowledge. Where the little things turn red, and the twirling and changing look. She's the only one who doesn't treat me special. They seem to say that the reciprocal relationship should stay the same, it was cozy"
There is no way that I, the villain warrant lady, would cheat the prince. Because I knew it was the heroine.
"When I saw her getting prettier and prettier, I only began to think that I didn't want to give it to anyone"
Even if Raphael tells me she's beautiful with an out-of-popular appearance, I don't really feel it. More than that, he doesn't want to give it to anyone...
Unconsciously, my chest wanders from time to time.
Don't, let's hear it till the end.
"But she doesn't rely on me, she doesn't even try to lean on me. Just summon him and take him on official business. I can hardly touch anything but dance, and I get caught at the end of the sentence (give). To the man who was stealing my eyes and getting along!
Wow, did you come here?
Is that why Sophia's better?
Speaking of which, it was Sophia who the escort rescued first. I'm sure it's his instructions.
"I'm glad the magic stone helped. The engraving on the noodle seemed weak."
"... Engraving?
"I'll see you later on that. But, Nica. I'm a man, too. Considering you've been touched by other men, it's still not funny"
"No, you touched it quite a bit too..."
"You think I'll be satisfied with that? You're really cute."
Raphael laughs colorfully, so her heart pounds as soon as possible. Put your arms on your back and stop snuggling around. Don't deceive me that way, I want you to talk properly.
I lag back on the bench to distance myself from him. Raphael took my hair in one room and dropped a kiss there.
"In the meantime, now this. How far did I tell you?... Oh, from a trip with you? I got a thank-you note from a church in the south, so I'll see you there."
How good would it be if I could really do that?
And what about Sophia?
What happened to her story?
