"Lili, I'm here to see you."
When it finally came to work, Al came when it was two weeks after he started talking to his brother.
The location is the reception room I used last time. I asked my father to lend it to me because Al was coming.
Being stuck in a relationship with my brother, I greatly anticipated Al's visit and welcomed him with great joy.
Al would surely give me some measure.
Although I talked to her a little bit in the letter, it's still completely different from meeting and talking in person. I was so excited to see him and talk to him for a long time.
Al today was dressed a little rougher than usual. I'm glad to see the feeling that I've come to play, not a formal visit.
Speaking of which, I'm wearing a pretty grown-up dress with a bow around my neck. The one who chose me was the maid who asked for help last time. She said no at first, but she convinced me, and prepared me, "If that's what it would be," if I were to be honest and say, "It's more like you chose to suit Al's taste than my taste. The makeup also got a softer finish than usual.
Neither is my hobby, but let me say again, as soon as I met Al, he let go and praised the dress and me.
And as I thanked him, I said, 'I see, it still doesn't seem to work for my taste. I had to thank the maid for choosing the dress again later'.
And on this occasion, I was firmly determined that I also wanted to study how to identify dresses that didn't look like 'Villain Warrant Lady'.
Sitting on the couch with a bickering, drinking Luke's brewed tea. That's how I cut out the story when I settled down.
The letter could not provide a detailed explanation, so I will tell you in detail and in an orderly manner what has happened so far, including the stories I have written. Al listened to me seriously.
"- And that's why..."
When I finished explaining, Al looked me in the eye and smiled gently.
"Yes, Lili's been working on it."
"Uh... didn't really bear fruit, but I did my best"
Maybe "That's not true" is the right thing to do here, but I didn't say so.
I can see Luke laughing behind me.
But I don't know what else to do. Because I worked really hard.
Speaking while enduring his brother's absolute zero gaze required considerable mental strength.
I've worked so hard, I can't say "I haven't worked hard".
This is a completely different issue from pride.
Tung and clarity as to what was wrong, Luke erupted and Al laughed couscous too.
"Yeah, you are. I think you worked hard. [M] Great, great. He seems to think the same thing back there."
"... Luke is just amused and laughing. Lately, it's always been like this, and I'm just used to it"
I can't help but whisper. Al smiled softly as he could just exhale.
"Isn't it a good thing that you seem to be obedient and friendly? I'm sure no one who sees you now will believe that you were too much until a while ago. Even I was convinced that I had been consulted directly by you, but without prior information, I'm sure I wouldn't have believed you."
"Really?"
I feel that Luke and I can reconcile, or really talk to each other, but I don't even know if it's from a third party. So I was glad Al told me we looked friendly.
"Yeah. The air that flows between you guys is so soft. Luke, I think I said. Please keep my fiancée company. You know, there's something about me that makes me a little nervous, but I'm a really cute guy."
In the meantime, I told Luke about the Villain Lady.
Because I talked to Al in a letter and he replied to me that it wasn't a bad thing to let someone close to me I could trust know what was going on. Luke has been seriously worried at first that I may have gone crazy, but he has said that I will smile and cooperate when I tell him my goal is to work hard because I want to be the perfect courtier.
The story of "Villain Warrant Lady" seems to be our paranoia in him.
"Yes, yes, I understand. That's the kind of 'setting'. I'll cooperate with you and I'll be with you because it's good for your daughter to try to change her mind and be a wonderful courtier... please don't tell me outside," she advised me in the face.
I know that. Even I don't believe 100%.
But there's something I can't ignore, so isn't this how you work hard?
He carefully bowed his head toward Al as he remembered when he first revealed himself to Luke.
"Thank you for that verse, which broke bones for me and my lady. The lady is my benefactor, so I would like to come sincerely."
"Yes. You'd be fine now. Whatever happens, you won't betray her. I think Lili made a good choice."
Al nodded to Eagle Deep, glancing back at me.
"But Lili. I read the letter, but often, you noticed about Victor. I also heard from Will that he seems to be a 'target of attack' too, so I don't think it's a good idea to stay hated. Your hard work is not in vain."
"Oh, is my brother the 'target of attack'..."
That's my first ear. But I did hear that 'there are a lot of' offensive targets' around 'Villain Lady' '. And also,' Probably 'Villain Lady' is hated by those 'offensive targets' '.
They hate me...... yeah. I have too much on my mind.
I snorted, even as I was drooling.
"... right. My brother... unfortunately, he hates me."
When "Villain Warrant Lady" is defeated, she is thrown a terrible word or abandoned by the "Attacking Targets," but I also wonder if my brother will go into it, just thinking about it, and I suffer terrible damage to my spirit.
Especially when that brother looks at people with absolute zero gaze. You know, being abandoned after that glance... freaks me out.
"Why, I definitely need to do something... but what more can I do?"
Blurring and shaking his body and whining, Al said.
"Well, I'm talking about hating you, but don't you have any idea?
"Even if you say you have, it's been quite a while. Besides, I'm not the only one, and my brother Hugo hates me just as much. Talking to me doesn't make for a conversation. With my parents, still, well, I'm the one who talks. But lately, I'm starting to wonder if that's who my brother is."
If it's not just for us, but for the same attitude in the castle, I can only assume it's my brother's character. Of course, though I don't know how my brother deals with everyone in the castle.
But Al looked difficult and denied it.
"That's not true. Victor works for the castle, and I have a work relationship, but he's never had that attitude. Sure, I'm not a taller person, but the job is accurate and neat, and I thought he was more of a tough personality."
"Dj, persona? Is Brother Victor here?
Hearing the impossible words, I opened my eyes.
I can't believe my brother, cold as that ice, is a personable man, he was just yelling "Don't lie" if it wasn't for Al's words.
"Um... just in case, I ask, is that really our brother? Isn't that someone else?
"From what I can tell, Victor you talk about seems more like someone else. He's soft on the waist, and only takes a tough attitude towards those who can't do the level of work he admits... oh well"
I stared at Al, who nodded like I was suddenly convinced.
"Al?"
"I'm sorry, Lili. I'm gonna say something a little harsh right now."
"... Yes"
I don't know what you're talking about. I nodded as I thought so, Al said.
"Victor is definitely an excellent person. But at the same time, I tend to ask others to be as harsh as I am. So, I need you to think about it. You and Hugo. Weren't you guys acting like Victor couldn't forgive you? Lili, think. No verse that comes to mind?
"Huh? Er..."
"Can't you think of a sudden saying? Bye, you know what I mean by this? Victor likes people who can discipline themselves. For example, if you had money, someone who didn't waste it and could make the most of just what you needed. If you are a high-ranking nobleman, use that position to not abuse the weak, but rather the righteous who try to protect you. People who do not discriminate against people, nobles, civilians, or any other kind of disgrace. Can you tell me that you or Hugo are his favorite person?
……
Of course, I couldn't give you an immediate answer.
If I had been before, I might still have "naturally" breasted. Pretending not to look at the inconvenient part to me, and if I don't know, it's also quite possible that I frowned.
But now that I'm trying to get out of The Villain Warrant, and I'm trying to see reality, there's nothing I can say or give back.
Because even though Al said it, for example, I fell into it all.
I didn't think anything about spending money like hot water.
I'm a Duke's Lady, so I didn't doubt it because I believed I was different from everyone else.
And this is true of Brother Hugo, but he didn't try to admit anything but the beautiful.
The wretched thought it disrespectful to even approach.
- Oh, well.
It was only natural for Brother Victor to see us in cold blood.
