It's obvious in a way, but what do we do? My head hurts.
"So? How did the lady suddenly start something that didn't seem like 'reflection'?
"It doesn't seem..."
"Don't seem, you wouldn't be wrong. Well, I'd be happy if the lady could change her mind, but it's too sudden to believe."
"Ugh."
"I thought there might be something behind it. For example... this was just trying me out, and later it would make me very angry or something"
"... I won't do it."
Testing a servant is a method used by his husband to ascertain the servant's loyalty, but he just doesn't think about it.
"Really... I wonder how far they suspect me. I just wish you'd honestly take it as you say."
Oh, and he sighed as he held his cheek, Luke said.
"'Cause, lady, you're not really reflecting, are you? Sure, it's been conveyed that you think it was bad about the words. But you don't think it's particularly bad about anything else. Instead, don't you think what you did was right and natural"
"Gu......"
"Look, I knew it"
They poked me where it hurt pretty bad. Luke smiles bitterly at me for being poked at the drawing star and losing words.
"It's okay. Neither do I, because I don't think everything about the lady's attitude is bad. 'Cause I'm a servant, and I'm hired by you. I also get paid, and I get guaranteed clothing and accommodation. In contrast, it is natural for me to return it with loyalty. I didn't reach the level you asked for. That's why I was being rewarded. That's all."
"It was... yes... but it was also a pointless hit. I don't care who says it, it's my fault."
I was glad you thought the same way I did, but it was just that I never sneezed and yelled and scattered much. If you remember that, you're just like, "Right. I'm not bad at all," I couldn't easily agree.
"You're being honest. But say so, and I finally see that the lady is being serious about me. So I'll be honest with you too."
Punish the words, Luke stares at me. The face was true, and I knew that he was about to tell the truth for the first time.
"Meaningless eight hits. Defamation. If you could even improve this, I, I would not want any more. I'm fine with the usual lady. Mostly, it just suddenly creeps me out that the lady was sweet. As usual, 'I don't like that one', 'This is good', 'No, it's not. I knew you'd keep it that way,' please let me do what I can."
"... you're scared of me. Is that really all you need?
"It's good. Because that's what disqualifies me as a squire, such as putting up with my husband. Well, if my life as it is now is going to last for decades to come, I might have thrown everything away because I hate all about the lady and my life somewhere else. Because it turns out that the young lady is trying to improve somewhat. Then I'll try, too. To satisfy the lady. I won't let my husband make an effort alone. That's what a squire does, right?
"... right"
As I snorted, I was sweating inside.
- I knew you might not have liked it all.
Dangerous. I never want to think about Luke hating me for taking care of me in one hand.
I don't know what Luke thinks, but I trust Luke.
Because Luke is mine. He thought he would follow him unconditionally, no matter what, no matter what he said.
But that can never happen.
I knew it was impossible.
Loyalty will not last until you continue to be treated irrationally. If you think about that a little bit, you'll see. It's obvious.
Whether that's the benefactor of life or not.
- It's good to know yesterday.
I thought Luke's attitude was strange, so now I can hear him for real. And I owe it all to Al to get this done.
There is now because Al did not ridicule my consultation and listened and advised me properly.
The next time we see each other, let's report what just happened. Then will he praise me?
Will you laugh that you did well?
That just seemed fun to imagine.
"Thanks to Al..."
"Lady?"
They were unconsciously putting it into words. I hastily tried to deceive myself and stopped hiding the need for it.
"Actually, I talked to His Royal Highness about you earlier. Then give me some advice that I should apologize properly."
"His Royal Highness Alan? Uh, your engagement officially took place yesterday, didn't it?
"Yeah. That said, I think it's just for now."
Yesterday alone I found out that my lowest is quite something. After all, I don't deserve his opponent.
Of course, I don't think it would be strange to stand next to him if he could be the perfect warrant to target, but it's not necessarily until then that he'll be waiting for me. The engagement doesn't always last.
- Wait, you want it.
Truth is, I want to stand next to that guy.
I don't want to see him find someone new.
But I'm sure it's a shame to think so. So if the time comes and he wants the engagement dissolved.
- Honestly, let me bless you.
With a smile to keep.
"Congratulations. Yeah, of course I agree to the divorce," he said.
That's the only thing Al can do to help me.
My chest hurts tightly. Pretending not to see it, I went on to talk absurdly with Luke.
