Alyssa wrote out an official engagement application and only waited for the owner's signature to confirm it.
With the permission of Count Baum, who is in the Imperial Castle, Alyssa will sign and seal the name on your behalf and send it to the House of the Fundid.
Basically, it's just like a proposal: who is going to propose an engagement to whom?
Ardal also checked and signed his own name, and this is what it feels like...!
(Just looking at the signatures on the documents makes me shine, something like this...)
I'm surprised myself.
Even though Aldar has given you words and attitudes, do you feel more like it when you see a message card that says you want to sign a document and say hello to my parents?
"Then I'll keep it." Yes, Yulia-san's room is ready, but... it's too early to rest, so please show her around the garden. "
Okay, mother-in-law.
”Fufufu, it's not wild enough to disturb the two of you.”
"Yes, yes."
"Yeah, but Dean will be back in a little while, so you can talk to him for a bit."I'm sure she'll be happy to say hello before she goes to school. "
Alyssa left with a smile on her face, but this time it was a beautiful and gentle thing.
No, when I checked the documents earlier, I told you that I met Count Baum in the Royal Castle, as if Ardal were talking about "speaking of which".
As for me, I'm sorry for crying and I'm connected to the memories of sleeping, so I was inadvertently thrilled, but it's a secret that when I saw Alyssa's smile, I was stunned in a different way.
Yeah, yeah, that's when I decided I'd never fight Alyssa.
Of course, I know that's not going to happen!
(Well, for my sake... I think you're mad at me for Ardal.)
Don't you think you can hear Alyssa-sama crawling through the ground with a smile like that? "Yes... she's doing extra things..."
Well then, I'll leave it to my mother-in-law to take a walk in the garden.
Yeah, yeah.
"If you want to write a letter first, I'll bring you a piece of paper right away."
“No, I think I'll write it down when you show me to my room later.... my chest is still a little full right now. "
Because it hasn't been such a long time since I was proposed, and even though I'm getting ready to enter into a formal engagement now, I'm not cool enough to write a letter!
After all, this is not the situation that has happened many times in my life!
The garden that was escorted by Aldar has many design hedges.Garden trees arranged symmetrically on the left and right, and flowers with soothing hues appear to be neat and tidy.
(The Marquis of Nashanda was overwhelmed, though....)
Roses, roses, roses, and hedges were all like roses everywhere, but I have the impression that they are somehow boneless.
As expected of the Martial Gate clan.
……
Ardal?
As the two of them enjoyed an unbeatable conversation while strolling through the garden, Ardal's mouth gradually diminished... Finally, not only did he shut up, but he stopped and I tilted my head.
It's not like the conversation was disturbing or someone is watching us.
"Ahh... well, for now, but..."
Huh?
“You said you were aware of marriage from the beginning and wanted you to choose your own marriage.”
Yeah, yeah.
That's what I heard earlier, but... what?
Aldar stroked my cheek and opened his mouth, wondering what an embarrassing look he had made me wander around.
"There are parts of that that you have created a situation that is difficult for you to say no to."I still want to apologize for that. "
Hard to say no?
"Yes, that night, I went to your room and forced you to stay overnight."In Coolum, even if there is a loose end to love, there is still more ugliness than being an aristocrat.If the lovers think that they are in a situation where they are alone, the surroundings think that many people will marry because they think that it is a deep relationship. "
"Yeah, yeah..."
When I was told, I blinked my eyes.
No, yeah.
"Well, that's true...?"
I've been wondering how many times I've been seen with such (...) eyes like "I'm a lover, no problem...". The scandal around here was on my mind, but I see. Ardal was aware of it.
No, I was rather aware of it and was using it.
"Ho ho..."
"Aldar"
Yeah.
"I was very anxious, even this one."
"... yes..."
"I wonder if Aldar doesn't want to get married, or if that's okay."I'm sure I was impatient and upset when people rushed me, and I think Ardal was right to worry. ”
"Yeah, that... that, Yulia, tone of voice"
When I saw Ardal's genuinely troubled expression that I was speaking in maid mode, I smiled.
You must be relieved that I laughed, but now you're seriously out of your mind with Aldar, who looks relieved!
Oh, really, my lover is a clumsy, cute person.
I'm just as clumsy as you are...!
"Aldar"
"I'm sorry. I was conscious of my marriage from the beginning, and I just stood around like that.Besides, I made you wait. "
"... that's fine." I'm sure Lord Baum needs your forgiveness. ”
Just a promise, maybe someday I'll have answered right away.
I can now answer with confidence that I like him that much!
Nevertheless, even the oral promise must ask the owner's intentions, so the noble society is really troublesome.
Especially given the complexity of Aldar's position.
It's a sigh, isn't it!!
"I guess I'm a very troublesome man, huh?I don't know about myself, but... I had no choice but to give up on Yulia. "
No.
You want to give up?
When I heard that word, I was grabbing Ardal's hand reflexively.
Yulia?
Looking up at Aldar, he looked very surprised.
Well, that's right, I feel angry in this situation.
"Can I want more?"
But it's something else I think.
I'm so glad that Ardal wanted it, and he's always wanted it.
To be honest, Ardal's behavior is exactly like "heavy love".
I heard and understood that you were enclosed like this!
... even if I didn't understand it at all, my dullness seemed to make me laugh.
If you make an excuse, it can't be helped because you had no connection with such a thing!
You don't meet the requirements of a beauty, you're late, and you're not a von cuvée!?
"Want to...?"
"When I say that I'm happy with Ardal's feelings.I don't want to be like that? "
Were you tied up or did I not know anything else?
But one thing I can tell you is that this love is a love that I chose and raised myself.
"Still, I like Ardal, so I can't let him go."
"...... I'd be glad if you didn't let me go.Well, I've been here a long time ago. "
Aldar, who smiled bitterly at my words, sighed so loudly that he embraced me. Huh? Isn't it terrible?
Still, his expression is gentle and I feel like it tells the whole story.
"Tomorrow,... let's go to the land where I grew up"
Yeah.
Then I'll have to go back to the Royal Castle and report on everything.
That's right.
"... you'll be busy."
But let's do our best thinking it's a pleasant busyness.
It's all for the future!
