"Your Highness, the flowers are so beautiful."
"... right"
Arthur, who flauntingly missed Silvi leaving with Gail, had been taken to Cordelia and taken to the castle yard.
To be honest, I felt pretty bad.
I named him Cordelia, it's also a business venture to have to be with the daughter of the Royal Attending Doctor, and all I could remember was jealousy and anger about his beloved Silvi having gone with her brother.
(of the Silvi one, something good if you say no)
I never thought Silvi would be taken.
Spending only a moment until dinner with Cordelia. It was certainly Arthur who recognized that, but Silvi thought it was something that would wait for me in the room. Who would have imagined that would be taken to Gail, Cordelia's brother.
Where is Silvi by now with Gail and what is he talking about? My bowels boil back just thinking about it.
……
"You're in a bad mood, Your Highness."
"If that's what you think, do you mind if I leave now?"
Asked in a pleasant voice, Arthur's eyebrows stopped in the center. I didn't mean to be nice from the beginning.
Originally, Arthur had a pretty cold spot for a woman, and he was still chilling away the approaching ladies. My father only ordered me to spend time with him, and I didn't give a damn that it would be good with my usual response.
(The only woman I want to be nice to is Silvi)
I want to be nice because I'm the woman I like, and I want to hear what you have to say. Other than that, I don't care about women.
It was a word I uttered in that way, but Cordelia couldn't stand it. Instead, he was laughing strangely at Couscous.
"No, I can't. Because it's an important time given to me. But really, you have a completely different look than when you're with Master Sylvia. I'd like you to show me that face, too."
"Say no."
"Oh, well, it's an instant answer."
Cordelia couldn't even turn to Arthur's protruding words. He is kneeling in front of the flower bed and touching the red flowers. That's how I said potpourri.
"... me and Dear Sylvia. What the hell is the difference? I'm confident I can't beat you, too. If we'd met a little sooner, would you have looked at me?"
"I'll tell you because you seem to be mistaken, Sylvie and I are familiar with childhood. A little, nothing changes as fast as it gets. Besides, I only had Silvi from the beginning. Other than her, there is no woman I can love. You don't have a single possibility."
Tell them clearly.
For Arthur, Silvi was a benefactor at the same time as he was a loved one.
Someone who cut me loose to make up with my mother.
Someone who unconsciously but unconsciously restored Arthur, who was in human disbelief.
Arthur kept thinking of that Silvi. I've been searching for things that can't be anything but hers. And now that I had found it, I was convinced that my thoughts were right.
"Silvi is my only one. Being with her is my happiness and there is no other hope"
"Well."
He creates a face that surprises him greatly and Cordelia rises. That's how I narrowed my eyes to a glare and looked at Arthur.
"I don't care how, do I?
"You're not the only one. He says there's no point other than Silvi."
"Really?"
Hmm, exhaled, Cordelia looked at Arthur again. The face was strangely clear.
"Thank you. Now you're going to be able to cut off your thoughts without having to train. I'm getting married soon. So before that, I wanted to see Arthur."
"Marriage?"
"Yes. Childhood friendliness and. You're just like Arthur."
Cordelia, laughing joyfully, looked like Arthur had blown it off somewhere. With a smile, Cordelia says.
"I really liked you. So much so that it doesn't matter what you sacrifice if you get it. I wanted to hurt Sylvia, kill her, but I wanted to stand next to you."
"If you did that, I would have killed you"
I can't forgive you for hurting Silvi. Staring at Cordelia with such feelings, she nodded with a serious look on her face.
"Yeah. Even so. But that's when I didn't even know it was that simple. I even thought that would open up the future. It was painful. What can I do with this no-go thought? Maybe you wanted a place to spit it out.... In fact, I even started getting ready to run it. But then my father and brother stopped me."
"Stopped? What's this all about?
"It means as it is," Cordelia replied when Arthur asked in a strange face.
"They flaunted me for trying to imitate something stupid. No, he was on my side as a doctor, listened to me with guts, and at the end of the day, he undone his distorted cognition. I'm not going to do anything stupid right now. Because I don't want to betray my family for being on my side when it was the hardest. If I do anything stupid, it'll annoy your fathers. I don't want to do that. Besides, I'm familiar with children who say they love me like this. Is it strange that you would rather live in a new love than in an unfruitful love?
"No, if you can do that, I think it would be great"
In response to Cordelia's inquiry, Arthur answered honestly.
What's the matter? He can't respond to Cordelia. So I want you to be happy elsewhere.
Hearing Arthur's answer, Cordelia smiled.
"Thank you. I think so too. This is all my father's too - no, thanks to my brother. It was my brother who first noticed the cry of my heart, and it was my brother who told me about his childhood. He's a lousy talker and he doesn't say anything to you about me all the time. If my brother hadn't told me, I wouldn't have taken it where he proposed. In fact, I didn't want sympathy at first."
"Yes... is it"
I remember Gail taking Silvi.
He was a good man who was going to be mistaken for a woman. It doesn't even seem like a very aggressive personality compared to my sister. But he saved Cordelia.
"My brother will go up to the castle next year as a doctor, just like your father. Because you will probably be Dear Sylvia's attending physician. Best wishes for your brother."
"... what?
Unexpectedly raised my eyebrows.
A father and a near-aged Duke of Rycardt could still forgive him. But if you hear that Arthur and a man of near age are coming as Sylvie's attending physician, you can't just leave him alone.
Father, what are you thinking?
"I think it would be kind of you to attach the best doctor to Master Silvia, who will give birth to His Highness's son in the future. 'Cause my brother is proud, but he's a really good one. As much as you admire that sometimes your father is no match for you. So I think we should be thankful, not angry"
……
Returned the truth, Arthur silenced.
If you say the best doctor, that's just hard to refuse. But I don't think it has to be a young, good-looking man.
"... aren't you studying medicine"
It was a statement from the thought that a woman could bear it, but it returned a denial.
"I can't. Unlike my brother, I don't like medicine or anything. I learned for once, because that was a childhood story, and I quickly got tired of it. I completely forgot what I remembered at the time."
"Right."
"And if it's your idea to stop me, not my brother, Because if you were Sylvia, you'd be jealous of me."
"Huh...?
To the word jealousy, Arthur felt a moment had stopped.
Cordelia looks really fun.
"Didn't you notice? Look at me. Sylvia's face. That was a terrible thing to do. I thought it was worth what I said to my father when I saw your face."
"Silvi... really?
"Yeah, definitely. Hehe, be loved, Master Arthur."
……
It was a whispering voice, but Arthur said nothing back.
Because it wasn't the other way around.
(Silvi... jealous of me?
I always thought I was the only one who liked me. Arthur was just chasing me, and Sylvie didn't turn around, but I thought she wouldn't be leaning in as much as she would have, and I thought that would be good.
Enough that you liked me.
I enjoyed wanting to be forced to want more because I was getting married and they liked me to the point where they promised to be on my side.
Because if you don't like it, I don't think you can even see it.
Even jealousy is. All I do is Arthur.
I was jealous of Diedrich, jealous of Claude, and Arthur was the only one who was jealous, and Sylvie wondered if he was not jealous of Yakimochi.
But it wasn't.
Maybe Sylvie likes him more than Arthur thought.
"Huh!"
I found myself blushing.
Loved by Silvi. That's strong enough to be jealous, too.
I was delighted to think so, and the whirlpool of joy pushed me.
"Oh. You look happy. Really, you're going to hate it. Now I can't stop wondering why you thought you liked a man who couldn't even look at himself enough to hate his own ruin."
"Shut up."
"I'm not afraid to be told with that face. Oh, this is already such a time. It's true that fun times pass fast. Dear Arthur, thank you for your time with my crappy sentiments today."
"... oh"
Realizing it was time for a promise at some point, Arthur blinked.
Cordelia bows like a lady towards Arthur with a grin.
"Please, be happy with your Highness's loved ones. You don't have to send me. 'Cause I think my brother's waiting."
"Brother? No, let's go, too. Gail should be with Sylvie."
"No, because my brother just bought me some time. I'm sure Master Sylvia has already returned to her room. Please go over there and give it to me."
"... ok. Let me do that."
For a moment, I doubted what Cordelia said, but immediately denied that there was any lie. I listened to her and thought I could believe her as Arthur. If that's what she says, I guess Sylvie is waiting for Arthur to come back in her room.
(If you don't go and do it soon)
I wanted to look right in the face and hug Silvi.
Cordelia says she doesn't have to send it, and she doesn't hesitate to return to her heels to go home.
A voice hung on Arthur's back.
"Just one. Hey, Master Arthur. Maybe, but I think my brother is quite the type of person who likes Sylvia. It's about your brother, so I don't think it's weird, but just be careful."
"What?"
"Hehe, that's all we're talking about."
I'm definitely enjoying Arthur's reaction because the tail was playing.
I knew that, but Arthur couldn't stop the jealousy that was holding him back from coming up again.
