"I never thought the day would come when the lady would be stuffed in an orphanage"
"... I fully agree with you on that."
Chloe and I became friends, and a week went by.
In the end, I went to the orphanage like every day since then and with Chloe I was helping take care of the kids.
My first friend said, "I want to see you again," so I can say no.
I don't like it anymore. I was wondering if it was something I was going to do again, on my first day home when I was scattered.
I listened to Chloe and withdrew the foreword slightly.
"... if Chloe wants me to come, I'll come back"
"Really? Glad! When other friends say they're going to the orphanage, they all run away and say," I'm good. "
"... that friend is a noble lady, isn't he? If so, I think it's a natural reaction."
As a duty of nobility, donations are made. But who's going to take care of him directly?
Because I would like to be spared if I could.
"But Lili will come, won't she?
"... because that's what you say!
Chloe, who peeps at me with her ascendancy, finds it adorable from the eyes of the same sex.
Hearing my words, Chloe laughed happily.
"Yes! I really do! Because of this, we could be friends, and I want to be with Lili more."
"... you have no choice."
Having taken care of the orphanage and hung my first friend on the balance in my heart, I chose my friend lightly.
I don't want this to end with a friend I finally made. For that reason, let's do it as quickly as we can to help the orphanage. That's what I thought.
You can think of it if you think it's intentional.
There was that flow, and then I kept going to the orphanage every day.
I give my kids readings, I teach them calculations, and sometimes, they sing songs.
The little ones were making money on napping time and I enjoyed having tea with Chloe and the two of them (Luke, of course, but I ignore that one) at that time.
Even today, after taking care of everyone and enjoying a brief tea party for the two of us, Chloe has been eager to ask, knowing that I have a fiancée, albeit only in shape.
"Wow! I have a fiancée! That's right, Lili. I feel like the Duke's lady!
I saw Chloe with a frightened face saying that even though she was an aristocratic lady myself.
"... it's not a rare story. I think that's a common story for you, Countess, and your friends would have daughters like that, wouldn't they?
"It doesn't surprise me. Neither do I, and I'm not talking about that at all. So so fresh! Hey, let me know if you don't mind. What kind of person is he? What does Lili think of that person?
"I don't know what you think..."
My engagement with Al is formally bonded between my father and the king, and that fact is nothing but a secret or nothing.
So, apart from saying their names, I didn't mind, but I got in trouble with the question of what you think.
"Uh... His Royal Highness Alan, the First Prince. Well... it's only recently that I got engaged."
"Your Highness Alan!? Wow! So Lili will be the Crown Princess. It's lovely."
"If the engagement continues, eventually it will. I don't know what's gonna happen."
Me and Al's engagement is what we're doing to get me to cooperate. If he doesn't like it, he's always going to respond to disengagement, even if he tells me he's had someone else he likes... pleasant, I want to respond.
So I was going to try not to think of him as' my own fiancée 'as much as possible.
Because if you think like that, I'm sure I don't want to give Al to anyone. Because I know he won't be able to snort or anything, even if he says he's going to stop it.
Even though I liked the way he looked, there's no way I'm going to like him any more when I deal with him, who's kind enough to advise me not to be a 'villain's warrant'.
You can't possibly want to give someone else who you like. Besides, he's my own fiancée now.
You can't possibly want to let go.
- I haven't seen Al in a while.
The First Prince has no choice because he's not free, but he still thinks. I want to meet him and talk to him about Chloe. I wrote in my letter about my first friend, but I still want to talk to him directly.
"... Lili, you really like your Highness. Something that looked so sweet right now."
"Eh."
Chloe tells me with a couscous laugh. It was true that I was thinking about Al, so I got stuck in words.
"I was wondering about the fiancée of a political marriage, but Lili is happy. I'm sure His Royal Highness Alan is a wonderful man."
"Yeah, it is. Must be a rumor... No, he's nicer than a rumor."
"Nice, nice. Me too, such a fiancée...... yeah, I want to try to be in love!
Well, I said as I stared at Chloe with her hands on her cheeks for fun.
"Uh, Chloe doesn't have a fiancée... right? Then no one likes you?
I heard a rattling, upsetting noise behind me, but I ignored it.
It should be a natural flow. I told you about myself, too, so you shouldn't mind asking.
Chloe laughed bitterly when she heard my question.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have a fiancée or anyone who likes me. One day, I wish I could have someone good."
"Yes."
It's something I was feeling thin about, but in Chloe, it seems Luke wasn't a paedophile.
I'm sorry to hear about Luke, but this won't help anymore.
Try harder to make Chloe aware, or give up. It's up to him.
Thinking like that, Chloe said with dreamy eyes.
"I'd like to meet someone who can look like Lili just now. I'm hoping to see you if you make your debut in the social world."
"Right. There are a lot of unmarried men in the social world, so I'm sure some of them will come true for your glasses. But some of them suck, even if they have wives and children, so be careful."
I haven't made my social debut yet either, but I'm only listening.
There are as many dukes and marquises as there are looking for a mistress candidate.
I would advise my friend Chloe because she absolutely hates hanging on the poisonous teeth of such men, she said with a laugh.
"It's okay. I'm not interested in men with wives and lovers. I refuse because I want these people to take good care of their loved ones."
Answered clearly, Chloe skewed her face.
"I generally absolutely don't like me, second, or anything, and I'm absolutely sorry to share one man with someone. I just need someone to look at me."
"That's right."
"Later, I'm breaking up with my current lover, so I can't even trust myself and the guy who says... People like that repeat the same thing again. The first woman I ever dated was me! I know I just can't do it, and I don't want to, but I want to be honest with you."
"Chloe, you're surprisingly firm."
I heard and admired the portrait of the man she wanted.
Sure, I thought she was right.
I also think I don't like sharing people I like with someone, and I want to hang out with honest people.
"Me too... I'd prefer that kind of person"
Unexpectedly speaking the truth, Chloe turned her eyes round.
"What are you talking about? Lili will have His Highness Alan, won't she?
"... right"
I nodded vaguely at Chloe's words.
I'd love it if it did, but I can't be his opponent now, right away, leaning toward the 'Villain Lady'. If I became Miss Perfect Warrant and he was still there for me then... would it be forgiven to tell him I liked him if such a future came?
Will he choose me?
- Oh, no.
Shake off thoughts you're about to think about.
I don't have time to think about this.
For starters, be Miss Perfect. And look back at Prince Wilfred.
We should achieve this goal and then think about going on.
"What's going on? Lili."
Chloe asks in a voice that seems worried. Besides, I laughed "nothing," deluded myself, and switched the subject successfully.
