……
I'm too overflowing with thoughts to speak.
Something seems to be approaching from the depths of your body. It spreads all over my body and fills me up.
I just have to keep staring at Al, Al told me like I'm in trouble.
"Oh, my God. I didn't mean to embarrass you. Mm-hmm. In the meantime, I'm leaving today. Oh, yeah. I'm not in a hurry, but I was wondering if you'd like me to give you a response to your confession for once. I want to know how you feel. Well, whatever your answer was, it doesn't change the outcome. I have no intention of breaking up my engagement. Okay, I'm going home. I don't need a drop off."
"Ah..."
A grin, Al just left the room, as he said.
I can't even go after that. The words Al gave me were too big to digest well in me and I couldn't move.
"Nah."
"Oh, I'm sorry"
Soon Noel, who had moved underfoot, looked up at me and rang. I realize you have the look of hugging me and hugging me.
Noel's hairy hair is crunchy because he brushes every day and because the cooks feed him a nutritious meal. These days, Noel has been working so badly that it's like Brother Hugo. Although I've noticed lately that my brother is just joking.
As he stroked Noel's head, escaping reality, he heard voices coming from behind.
"... Lady, are you glad I didn't reply to Your Highness"
"... Luke, there he is"
I had completely forgotten it existed. Unexpectedly to zero in, Luke, standing next to me, sighed. Seeing Luke like that, Noel sighs in the same way.
"I thought that would happen anyway, but you both totally ignored my existence, didn't you? A confessional play that starts all of a sudden. No, I really thought about what to do. I can't go out now, and only enough to get air, there was nothing left for me to do. I'm sure Noel was the same. Poor thing, he was lurking his breath as far as possible out of the way."
……
"So? Are you glad you didn't even reply, lady, even though we were giving you air because of this? You must have been happy, huh?
To the question again, I told him I knew and honestly would be ridiculed.
"Because I was so surprised, I didn't get a word!
……
With a frightened face, Luke looks at me. But it was really white in my head, and I didn't say a word.
I was happy.
Like Luke said, I was really happy Al confessed to me.
- I like it, too. I've always liked you.
It started with love at first sight, and that's how I got you help, and I got a hang-up that's changing, and I'm glad you said that, and that's it again.
By the time I realized it, I liked it more.
That's what I wanted to answer, but while the joy and emotion swirled in my chest and I was sparing that emotion, Al, who I thought had gotten me in trouble, left the room.
"... lady, you must be an idiot"
Following, but explaining to Luke, he looked even more frightened.
"I immediately said 'I like you too' there, and if I held you to Your Highness, that would have been fine. You two are fiancées, and there's nothing wrong with that. I wondered why you wouldn't reply... oh, the lady is a flying fool"
"And you don't have a choice. I was so happy. I never thought Al would think of me."
"Really? I think it was very obvious though. Write to me in earnest, go to my fiancée's mansion prosperously if you have time, and date the town to show it off. I don't know how you saw it, Your Highness will like the lady. I can't believe you didn't notice."
"Ugh, shh."
"Is it a lie? So my husband always greeted His Highness with a smile, too. Engagement is going well. Your Highness takes care of the lady. Otherwise, you won't always be welcome, no matter how much, Your Highness."
……
I listened to Luke and shut up.
Indeed, Al replied to my letter in earnest. In the absence of time, he took me to the mansion.
But I always thought it was only part of my cooperation to avoid becoming a Villain Lady.
"By and large, do you think your busy Highness would take the time out for the opposite sex you don't even like? Besides, the reason for this is to accompany the evasion of the 'villain's warrant', which could be taken as paranoia? Are you playing witch mountain games? … leave the fool alone and he will normally make the executive priority"
"... right. Exactly."
I was clearly poked at reality, and I was dropped.
I was a party, and I didn't realize it at all because it wasn't the other way around, but if you ask me, it certainly is.
"Her Royal Highness liked the lady from the beginning, and that's why you've been working with me. … at all, it doesn't change the bad sense of guessing that your personality has improved"
"... although I feel Luke's mouth is getting worse every day"
"My husband is this, so it's just about this good. If someone doesn't point it out, they're going to fall where there's nothing."
……
They said it out all the time, and I pointed my lips. Angry but hard to deny. In fact, a lot of times Luke is helping because he makes things clear this way.
"... I don't know what to say to myself, but you've become a very generous master."
Until now, I would never forgive a servant for his disrespectful remarks. With that in mind, Luke said,
"So I think I can serve you wherever you are now."
And he gave me a word that I had no choice but to continue to be a generous master.
