Tea treats prepared the rusks of popular stores in Wangdu. When I ate it, I preferred the balance of taste to the stiffness, and I bought all the same things here recently. I hope Chloe likes it too.
I rang when I was ready.
"Chloe, there's tea in here."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Noel is adorable, with"
To my call, Chloe, who was obsessed with cats, replied, releasing Noel with regret. Noel makes a long stretch just saying he's finally liberated. She has a cute pose scratching her ears galloping with her feet.
Chloe sits in my front seat. Luke served tea after making sure he calmed down.
Fluffy and sweet aroma drifts indoors.
"Luke. What's for tea today?
"Today, we have prepared a fruit tea. Contains apples, oranges and berries."
"Wow! Smells good!"
"Enjoy the natural sweetness of the fruit"
To Luke's words, Chloe smiled, "Thank you." That's how I look up at him and tell him he's smudged.
"If you look at it this way, you know very well that Luke is the butler of the Duke's house. The atmosphere is completely different from when we meet in an orphanage all the time. I knew you were decent in the mansion. That would be great."
"Thank you. Take your time and relax."
Dust and laugh, Luke moved a little further away from us. There is room and goods in the movement.
Chloe is my guest today. So, out of the ordinary, Luke had properly drawn her as her husband's guest. I treat her as a single guest, even as I always do.
I really liked these things about Luke.
The two of us enjoy the tea and pound a tongue drum on the rusk. While I pinched a good conversation, I turned Luke away a little and asked her to get to the point.
"Hey, Chloe. What about since then? Have you heard anything from His Highness Wilfred?
……
I was really worried about that night club.
Given that it's only been a week, it might be premature to hear something has happened. But I care about Prince Wilfred's attitude then. When I asked, Chloe clouded her face as she looked. That's how he looks at me.
"Oh, you know, Lili. I wanted to talk to you about it today.... Is it good?"
"Of course, I don't mind. But talking to you means something happened?
Send Luke his gaze and order him to step back a bit. Luke, who I perceived to tell stories he didn't want to be heard, moved to the point where he couldn't hear us. Confirming it and letting Chloe nod, she started talking to Potspots.
"You know, the day after the night club, His Highness Wilfred contacted your father. That... you think of me as your own fiancée. Your father told me you wanted me to consider it positively."
"... engagement? From Your Highness? Not from Your Majesty?
Isn't it usually done through parents, such as signing up for an engagement? "Oh, no," Chloe said hastily, frowning at the irregular story.
"That's not a big deal. If I snort, His Majesty will officially speak to me..."
"Oh... that's the thing"
Convinced.
Like me and Al, it's more about having an agreement between the parents first and then meeting them face-to-face, but there's not much of the opposite pattern. Of course, it is a prerequisite that the personalities are commensurate, but we often hear that parents talk to each other after the parties agree to each other.
"I mean, you can't go wrong with the fact that His Royal Highness Wilfred talked to me about wanting to make a relationship based on an engagement assumption?
Confirming, Chloe nodded as she leaned down.
"Ugh, yeah. Nor did your father just give you an instant answer... you know, sometimes the other person is a second prince, and he doesn't seem to be in a bad mood... or he seems to be thinking positively... even if it's up to you..."
That would be so.
Married to a second prince. It's usually a joyous story to raise your hands.
"So? What did you think? You think I can take it?
"No way!"
To that Chloe returned an immediate denial.
"Because I, I know nothing about Prince Wilfred. Besides, I was forced quite forcefully at the beginning, and I was afraid of that... So it's not easy to snort and I don't want to snort even though I know that what I'm wanted is thankful.... I'm sorry, Lili. His Highness Wilfred, even though he is also your fiancée's brother, put it this way..."
"It doesn't matter."
I made myself clear. Chloe seems sorry for me, but she didn't want me to decide it was bad or anything important for that reason.
"Never mind about me. Because this is your problem."
When I told him so, Chloe nodded, albeit vaguely.
Nevertheless, it is subtle whether that will be reflected because Chloe said no.
Essentially, it is common sense in the aristocratic community that the opinion of the parents is absolute. If Chloe's father wants him to marry a prince and go through with the process, there's no way for Chloe to escape.
"I don't know what to do... I'll stay like this..."
No matter how much the second prince, marrying someone she doesn't like is not a pleasure for a woman. Especially since Chloe has someone she likes.
I said to Chloe, who lowers her eyebrows like she's in trouble.
"I may not like it, but you should talk to His Highness Wilfred in person once before the conversation goes on. I don't know if you'll listen to me, but still, it's better than not saying anything."
"Ugh, yeah... but..."
"What's going on?
Asking Chloe, who replies badly to Kiri, she said Bosoboso.
"As a matter of fact, I, the Spirit, have been duly appointed to make a spiritual covenant in two weeks' time. So, when I found out about it, His Highness Wilfred said he wanted to join me... and that, that's how my father took pleasure in accepting it... what shall I do! Lili. You just said you were coming to the house! I can't discuss this so suddenly!
I was about to cry Chloe, but I didn't know what to answer for a moment either.
Because the spiritual covenant. It's an unpleasant topic that makes me want to be depressed at pinpoint right now.
But not if you care about that now.
- We have to help Chloe.
Forcing me to raise the feeling that it's going to get dark.
Prince Wilfred, who is about to hang to fill the outer moat quickly, has no choice but to be dismayed, but not bad as a means. Because I get recognition through my father properly, and it's an opportunity to show that I'm serious.
So, how can we help her?
Still thinking about it, Chloe has turned a blind eye.
"Lili, please. Will you join me in the spirit covenant?
"Huh?"
I opened my eyes to the invitation. Chloe moisturizes her eyes when she groans.
"I know I do. I also know how annoying it is. But me, you're the only one I can count on... please, spiritual covenant, I want you to come with me. I can't believe your father, His Highness Wilfred and the three of us..."
"Chloe......"
I know exactly what Chloe's trying to say.
I can also understand that I'm the only one who can count on me. Because you can't call a very low-ranking courtier where you know the Second Prince is coming, and even the Count doesn't look good.
In that regard, I would have the title Al's fiancée, Prince Wilfred's brother. Besides, it's the Duke's Lady. Making me participate because I'm a friend... is somewhat impossible, but, well, it would be critically acceptable.
Chloe said in a crying voice.
"Please......! Maybe His Highness Wilfred is a good man. But I still don't think so. Also, what if they force you to pack the distance? What if I'm consigned to your father? What if I may be over-conscious, but they make me agree to an engagement on the spot? When I think of it, I don't know..."
"... ok"
I didn't mind, but I nodded.
I have no choice. Chloe is too pathetic to have to try a spiritual contract with her father and three unfavorable fiancée candidates. If I'm going to make Chloe feel any more stable, there's no way she wouldn't move for her friends.
"Tell me more about the dates. 'Cause I'm going."
"Really!? Thanks!
Chloe stood up and ran over to my side. And on your knees, holding my hands.
"Thank you, Lili. I'm really glad you're here. Say anything I can do to help! Because I'd do anything for you, too!
"... thanks. But it's okay."
Smile and say no.
For a moment, I also thought I would talk about the failure of my spiritual covenant. And about that, it also means I'm very worried.
But I immediately dismissed the feeling.
'Cause I don't want Chloe worried about Prince Wilfred to even distract me about me. I don't want to worry about it.
- Yeah, I'm not.
The real deal is different.
It's also true that I don't want to worry about Chloe. But more than that, I had an ugly feeling about her not wanting to show Chloe the weakness she was supposed to be my friend.
To Chloe, who is called a heroine.
I don't want them to know I failed my spiritual covenant.
Only for a moment, but I thought so, and that triggered me, and I couldn't tell you.
- Oh, my God, it's ugly.
Chloe asked me so honestly for help.
I was glad to hear that.
I can't do the same with her.
Because of this, they said, "Miss Villain Warrant."
Crack into much of a difference with Chloe. Her presence is dazzling as the sun.
I'm dazzled and dazzled, I can't keep my eyes open. I find it hard and impossible to live without escaping to a darker place.
An honest, straight Chloe. Though my heart is true that I think I love her like that.
I want to help her. Though I don't have a lie in my heart that I want to be the person I can be proud of as her friend.
I wonder why. Sometimes, oddly, there are moments when you want to break it all.
- No. Because you already told me you weren't a 'villain's warrant'.
What do you do when you get back from yourself?
What are you going to do if Al helps you abandon the place that you have been so desperately trying to reach? In that case, I can't face Al, who loves me.
I shook my head to shake off more and more negative thoughts.
Chloe is a dear friend. It's not a good thing to stick a lettel on that girlfriend that's not even as certain as the authenticity of 'heroin'.
Yes. I don't know a villain warrant lady. It's not like that. Didn't I keep saying that the whole time?
Even Al has trouble being said to be a target of attack. I said it was me. I thought I was right, too.
And I can tell Chloe that.
Don't let Chloe put a heroine rettel on me when I'm angry that they put a villain warrant on me.
Only I, swung by the villain warrant lady, still swung, have to see Chloe as she is.
- You have to be careful.
Otherwise, I will surely fall everywhere.
"Lili, what's wrong?
Chloe asks me with a kyotonic face. It was natural for that look but it didn't include anything.
Make a smile on your face.
It's nothing.
"Oh, but..."
"Really, because it's nothing.... Spirit covenant, don't worry, I'll go right"
If a friend asks you to help, let's help.
I love it, if it's for Chloe.
Get your usual self back. And I recreated the grin that looked as natural as possible, and told her it was okay because I was there.
