Thanks to Alice's hands-on preparation and the fact that the chief woman who asked about the situation brought in a number of female officers, she managed to finish the preparation within a limited time of an hour.
I'm just going to the library, so I'm not wearing a flashy dress. What Alice and the ladies chose was a calm design, and the chest and hips didn't need to be so tight, so it was easier than I thought.
I have my hair braided and apply just a little makeup. The hair decoration remains intact. When they first came here, the women, not knowing the circumstances, told Silvi to remove the scratched hair ornament, but Arthur made it stop.
"It's a memento of me and Silvi. I like to see Silvi wear that hair decoration, and will you shut up about it?"
It can't be more than a snort to be told that by the Prince Wang who serves him, and since then, Silvi's hair decoration has been perceived as something he should not touch unless requested or hoped for by himself.
As for Silvi, I was wondering what it would be like to have a missing hair ornament attached by a person who wanted to be Princess Wang, so I was also considering removing it, but when I was told that much, the opposite is difficult to remove.
It's true that I like it, and Arthur decided to get on with the flow, wondering if it would be okay if he was happy. Of course, at night clubs where more people don't know what's going on, etc., I'm going to take it off without anyone telling me. I don't want to bother you.
"Silvi, I'm here to pick you up. Are you ready?
"Yes."
After a perfect hour, Arthur knocked on the door. Alice opens the door. Arthur looked seriously at Silvi from top to bottom, then tilted his neck.
"... bad. I'm not sure what's different from earlier. Of course I know you changed and wore makeup, but you couldn't dress so well earlier?
"... I think it is for a man."
I really laugh bitterly at what honest Arthur thinks. But the truth is, it's completely different. A paired underwear for dresses, for example? There is a woman's struggle out of sight. You don't have to notice. Because I'm trying not to be noticed.
"Well, that's not good. Let's go."
"Right."
Arthur offered me an arm, so I grab it in that arm. Just a prince, his escort is truly natural, and there is no such thing. You don't have to say anything, it adjusts the speed at which you walk, and it makes a move that Sylvie can't afford.
Get out of the building where Arthur or Silvi's room is located and walk down the corridor. The library was huge, although Sylvie had been there several times in her spare time.
The library has a three-tiered interior, and every bookcase is tightly packed with books. The place, a little dark, calmed down oddly enough to have a good time just looking for a book.
Open the large door leading to the library. Inside were the civil servants in charge in a row, and when they saw the Arthurs, they bowed their heads in unison.
"Your Highness, I've been waiting for you."
A man in the middle spins words. Silvi knew that he was the head of the room that would house this library on several occasions.
Arthur nods to Eagle Deep and tells the chief.
"I was just contacting you. You don't mind if I rent it out till evening?
"Yes. I understand. Then we will be waiting outside, so please call me when you have business."
He bowed his head deeply again, and the manager and his men withdrew. Only Silvi and Arthur will be left in the library. I never thought we'd be alone. Silvi raised her surprise.
"Huh? Huh? Are you sure? I kicked you out. Are you okay?"
"It's about a few hours, and it's not particularly problematic. Tell them I'll be waiting outside.... It's a long time ago. I didn't want anyone to get in my way, but is that just me?
Silvi was told the last word in a weak tone, and she accidentally held her ears down with both hands.
"No, it's sloppy... I think it's sloppy!
Arthur laughs niggly.
"Whatever comes close, let me smile at you good feeling"
"Stop! Because even poorer vocabulary is no longer available!
I shook my head sideways with the boom.
From time to time, as Arthur recalled, Sylvie attacks with her weakest face and voice. When they do that, Sylvie won't be able to resist it anymore, and all she has to do is turn her face bright red and tremble.
"I'm telling you I like Arthur's face and voice! I admit it, stop making fun of me."
Before his reincarnation, Arthur was Sylvie's best guess. I really don't know what's going to happen to my life because I'm currently engaged to him. As Silvi was shivering as she sifted, Arthur held her shoulder like that and mouthed it in her ear.
"Hih!
To Silvi, who stutters and jumps up, Arthur said with a laugh of fun.
"- I'm sorry, but your reaction is too much fun to stop."
"Hih, that's terrible..."
"Besides, just look at this reaction from you and you'll feel loved. It's bad, but there's no choice to stop it."
"Wow, I... I think he says he likes Arthur properly..."
Before, I did, I couldn't be quite honest, but these days I'm telling you I like it properly. I don't think I've acted to make you feel uneasy, and I don't think I need to go out of my way to make you feel special.
Arthur said with a serious look to Silvi, who leans his neck even as he blushes.
"Of course, I know exactly how you feel. So well, the truth is, I'm just having fun."
"Worst!"
I put the penetration in reflexively.
Nevertheless, it is undoubtedly a pleasure for Sylvie to be seen the voice and face of her favorite Arthur. Even though I say it's terrible, sometimes I want to indulge in Arthur the most deduced. For Sylvie, who thinks so internally, it's bad for her heart, but this Arthur prank that comes from time to time was never something she hated.
And Arthur knows about it, too. That's why he won't stop either.
(already... already...)
I look up at Arthur without the redness on his face pulling off. Arthur smiled at me when he noticed Silvi's gaze.
"What's up?
"Hey, it's nothing"
"Then let's take a look around. Silvi's been here a couple of times, hasn't he?
"Yeah, yeah. I always end up just looking at it, and I've never borrowed a book. I have a book I'm looking for."
"If it's this big, it's natural."
Saying, Arthur escorts me again. That's how I've asked Silvi.
"What kind of book do you want to read? This place has a little trick to look for. I'll show you where I know it."
"Really? That would help!
To Arthur's words, Silvi sincerely thanked him.
Although this library was one of her favorite spots, it was because she was always lost and in the end she was in serious trouble for not achieving her purpose.
"You know what? I'm looking for drawings."
"Drawings?"
"Yeah, flower drawings. See, you and your mother-in-law walk in the garden every day, right? I'm a little sorry I don't know what flowers are, even if there are flowers I care about."
Reminds me of the flowers I saw this morning.
Yellow petal flowers, planted near the entrance to the Royal Garden. Silvi has always wondered what that's called.
"If you ask your mother-in-law, I'm sure she'll tell you, but because of this, I thought you'd want to find out for yourself."
"If that's the case, here it is. There's something I used to use a few times to study."
"Speaking of which, Arthur was familiar with the name of the plant..."
When Arthur first came to Sylvie's mansion, she was commanded by her father to guide her through the garden of her mansion. So Arthur showed me all sorts of knowledge. Sylvie was deeply convinced, remembering the fact that she was surprised by it and overheard it, but Arthur looked bitter.
"... you, don't you remember? When I was a kid, when you and I went to the Vlm Forest, you would have asked, 'What's the name of that bird?' I regret not being able to answer that question. Then I studied desperately. Birds, of course, packed with flowers, plants, and a variety of other knowledge. I don't care what you ask me, I can answer with confidence."
"Yeah?"
I do remember that if you ask me.
The Vlm Forest where the two of us went out. Silvi noticed the flying bird and casually asked Arthur if he knew what the name was. Of course Silvi didn't get it. At that time, he said that he would look into it next time because he wasn't very familiar with it - but I didn't think that was the starting point for Arthur's knowledge...
"... with such triviality"
"It was a big problem for me, even trivial for you. You dressed up like a woman anyway. If we had the next one, we would have been desperate to fail again. Teachers were amazed to see me start studying like people have changed."
I can't hide my surprise from Arthur, who talks about how I miss the old days.
When I was a kid, it was nothing. Yet he truly took it and continues to do so.
When I reunited with Silvi, he said that this time it would be okay for him to ask me anything.
(What's that...)
Arthur found out that he kept trying for himself the whole time, and his chest got so hot that he was crazy.
Silvi forgot.
I remembered that there was a boy named Felix, even though I couldn't tell as much as the color of my hair and eyes had changed.
Arthur remembered all along and kept looking for Sylvie and working hard for her.
(I don't know... other than saying I like you)
Of course Silvi is very fond of Arthur, and he acknowledges the thought. But I think. If, at this stage, I resisted liking him yet, I would surely have fallen for him in the current story, he said.
It can't be that much thought of by someone you like and not responding.
When I'm happy, I say I like it, too.
……
Words grabbed my throat, I can't say anything. However, Arthur said with a gentle face to Silvi, who chewed his lips off.
"It's a drawing I used to study then. It was easy for me as a kid to understand, so even if I wasn't used to it, I'd figure it out."
"Yeah.... let me use it"
I'll answer that somehow.
Walk up the stairs with Arthur. I had no idea what was in Silvi or where, but I'm not lost in Arthur's steps. He stopped in front of one bookcase as he followed Arthur thrilled as he proceeded to the back. The back cover of the book being treated is all labeled brown.
"Here."
"Here?"
Arthur pulls a book out of the bookcase. On the cover of a rather thick book were handwritten flowers that Silvi could not tell from.
Receive a book from him. Open inside carefully, surprised by the firm weight.
The book had a flower picture every page, with its name and description. Nor are difficult jargon used. I did think it was a beginner-friendly book.
"This is... the drawing of the flower Arthur was using?
"Oh, yeah"
"I'd like to check some more contents before I borrow it, okay?
"Of course."
Hearing Arthur's reply, Silvi sat down in a reading chair that was right around the corner. The seating surface is soft, but it is a normal wooden chair with a slightly stiff back. Turn carefully inside into pieces. I wanted to make sure the flowers you were looking for were on it. Arthur also sat down in the chair next to him and peered into Silvi's hand.
"Which flowers do you want to find out about?
"Uh, it's a yellow petal flower blooming at the entrance to the Royal Garden -"
Remember the characteristics and tell Arthur.
When Arthur heard from Silvi about the characteristics of the flowers, he nodded one thing and opened the page a little further. Find the appropriate location immediately.
"This is it."
"What? Oh, yes, this is it...!
Where Arthur pointed, there was certainly a flower on it that Silvi wanted to look into.
The name of the flower is Primla.
Silvi saw it was yellow, but they have a variety of other colors.
Satisfied that the flower in question was on it for now, Silvi closed the drawings.
"Thank you. I'll borrow this. Uh, should I say I'm gonna borrow it from someone? Or do you have something like a loan card?
"Tell the manager, he'll handle it. This time, I'll tell you in person. I don't have a specific deadline for returning it, so you can return it when it's no longer necessary."
"Okay."
Silvi rose out of her chair, thankfully deciding to borrow the book. Suddenly, I realized I was alone, and I thought softly.
(Isn't this just the right opportunity?
I gently touch what I was sneaking into my skirt pocket, from above my clothes. Although slightly troubled, now that no one was there, she put the book she had on the chair and handed Arthur, who also stood up, the thin little wrap she had in her pocket.
"Yes, Arthur"
"Yeah?"
Arthur tilts his neck, even as he receives what is offered. You don't seem to know what they gave you.
Silvi told him with a glowing feeling.
"You know... that's the handkerchief I embroidered. I did my best to make it, so I'd be glad to have that..."
"You?
"Yeah."
Silvi, who wanted to surprise Arthur, kept a secret about the handkerchief until now.
As expected, I'll be happy with Arthur for showing me his stuttering face.
"I was wondering if it would be nice to give it to you here, but, look, there's Alice in the room, so we can't be alone... well, at night..."
I can't afford to give you a handkerchief or anything because that's the kind of atmosphere I'm going to have soon.
I didn't go into details, but Arthur must have figured it out. I grinned.
"Right. It's hard to be alone when you say we're fiancées. Thank you, Sylvie. Can I open it?
"Of course."
Open the small wrap and Arthur takes out the handkerchief. To the handkerchief of the man, Silvi stabbed Arthur's initials, wondering if he would also do a flashy embroidery. It's easy, but that's why the skill is obvious and understandable.
"Hmm..."
Arthur narrows his eyes in an upbeat mood and looks out at a handkerchief.
Apparently, it looked satisfying.
Just watching how it goes makes me feel good to work hard.
Sylvie, who became happy, said something she didn't have to say.
"Originally, I wasn't that good at embroidery, but Diedrich told me. I've improved enough to get praises from my teacher. I'm really good at teaching Diedrich."
"... what? Diedrich, you say?
"Ah..."
Seeing Arthur's brow move pickly, Silvi realized it was gone. But it's already too late.
Silvi was in a hurry for Arthur, whose previous mood was suddenly as grumpy as a lie.
(Duh, what do I do... Now, you didn't have to tell me for sure. My idiot!
Arthur's jealousy was the same in the game, and the same in reality. I know that, and Sylvie, who gave out the names of men other than him here, is totally bad.
"Oh, um..."
"Hmm... Diedrich. I do order Diedrich to worry about you when I can't be on his side... but I don't remember telling him to get involved with anything personal."
"Wow, I asked for it! There's nothing wrong with Diedrich!
I explained in a hurry.
It was Silvi who heard about the embroidery from Diedrich and asked me to tell him, and he just did her a favor. So I thought it was against reason for Diedrich to get mad.
"Because I said I wanted to give Arthur a present. So he just cooperated......!
……
Please stare at Arthur with the feeling that you don't blame Diedrich. Arthur looked musty, but eventually exhaled a great deal.
"Arthur?"
"Okay. As far as I'm concerned, that's what I'd like to do with Deedrich for about an hour, but I'll just stop it this time.... I don't want to ruin what you've done for me."
"Thanks!"
I was heartily relieved by Arthur's words. Diedrich coached Silvi with kindness. I was really glad that he could not be blamed by Arthur, the master.
"Though... there are some things I think about mentoring alone with you"
"Phew, it's not like we're alone. I've got Alice in my seat! Of course!"
Silvi is Arthur's fiancé. Even though it's near Arthur's side, if we're alone for a long time, it doesn't necessarily mean there won't be any extra rumors. Afraid of it, Silvi decided to have Alice present at all times.
It's not weird or anything that the maid is following her husband's side. Rather naturally, Diedrich didn't say anything, nor did odd rumors circulate thanks to it.
What Arthur didn't know is proof of that.
"Even I, Arthur's fiancée, am as conscious as I am. I'm not going to imitate it in a misguided way."
When I told Arthur that I had to be clear there, he blinked.
"Yes..."
"That's right. I like Arthur, so it's not natural."
I have trouble getting people to doubt the area. Arthur looked like he clapped out, but eventually laughed fluently.
"Right. You like me."
"Oh, yeah."
When they say it again, it lights up. Still affirming, Arthur placed the handkerchief on the chair where he was sitting.
"Silvi"
Arthur extends his arm. The moment I thought I was held, my lips were taken away.
