15

In the room where Findin left off, Norma remembered after the "Snowflake Pavilion" meeting.

Norma and Jerez went to the garden again and talked for a while. In discussing each other's lives, the subject of matrimonial duels came to the fore.

"Norma. I'm also the daughter of the Rheinzatz family, just like my sisters, I was prepared to be married to the right house. But before that, I wanted to be a knight."

"Really?"

This was a well understood story.

To be honest, Norma herself, at first, was definitely not willing to daughter-in-law, etc., under the pirate nobility. No, no matter who he was, I wasn't willing to marry him.

However, as he reunited with Manfrey and rushed to prepare, he felt more conscious that he was the daughter of Sarsfrey. In that case, depending on the circumstances, there was also a feeling that it was unavoidable to marry an aristocrat.

Jerez was born and raised as the daughter of a noble nobleman, so there's no way he's unconscious like that.

"So to be honest, as this story brings me to the brink, I also had the feeling that if you would wait a while, you could respond to the story. My father told me that the Rheinzatz family has a lot of advantages and disadvantages, so you can do as I please, but as a dowry, neither the Giddo Marquis nor the Smark Marquis are bad."

"That seemed a lot harsher rejection"

"It is. I was surprised myself. But the moment the man took my hand, I felt a sense of rejection all over me."

Neat. It was like being told inside Norma's mind.

Jerez whispered:

"To tell you the truth, at that moment in my heart, a certain lord appeared."

The word shocked Norma.

(It's about Lecan)

I was wondering myself why I thought that. But I'm sure that's about Lecan. It didn't seem that way for some reason.

(My cousin and I)

(Has a terribly similar soul)

(What attracts my heart to the same man)

(Maybe it's more inevitable)

Then we talked for a while and the two broke up.

The head of the Rheinzatz family has five queens besides Princess Lilia, and the only sons of Princess Lilia are their eldest sons and Jerez. After all, there are only two princesses, Jerez and Norma, who draw the blood of the White Snowflake Princess.

At the break up, Jerez said:

"Norma. It's so good to see you. Let me call you my sister from now on. Please call me my sister."

"It's nice to meet Jerez, this way. Wherever fate carries us, we are sisters."

The two hugged each other.

Norma loved Jerez from the bottom of her heart.

Losing my mother, losing my father, I thought I was lonely all my life, but I had a sister here. When I hold him like this, I can realise without reason that it is precisely my sister who divided the blood that is in my arms.

The two broke up.

I missed you. It was a shame.

But I was stronger than that thought, and I had thoughts springing up in Norma's mind.

(My dear sister)

(I won't give you Lecan)

(never)

If I were to seriously marry Lekan, my position as the princess of the Wazlov family would be intrusive.

The position of successor to the Goncourt family is convenient.

So I reasoned to stop the man-free move to make Norma admit to the Chancellery that she was the princess of the Wazlov family.

When he returned to the Goncourt family, he also raised Prado and Kannel's anxiety, worried that he would be deprived of Norma by the Wazlov family, and convinced Lekan to stand for him and come to the matrimonial duel as Norma Goncourt.

Now Lecan is a star of hope for Prado and Cannell.

But the problem was Lekan's own mind.

The ploy doesn't work for Lecan. Also, I am not willing to use it. It should not be used.

Throw out everything you have and you just have to ask for salvation.

This is not a situation that was made natural, but one that was made possible by the involvement of Norma.

But Norma is offering herself a stake. And even though there was Norma's involvement, it was the historical history over the Four Marquis and the Royal Family that brought this situation about, where Norma was thrown in.

Norma offered herself and pleaded with Lecan.

I want you to fight for me.

I want you to save me.

Only that lying, untrue plea works for Lecan.

If you refuse the duel.

What if I show disgust with the engagement?

If you weren't willing to save me.

Norma couldn't stay calm when she thought so.

But Lekan came back just in time.

One day yesterday, a secret detective from the Wazlov family had delivered information that Lekan had stepped through the Tubolt Labyrinth on the thirty-fourth day of the sixth month and left Tubolt immediately, so I expected him to return to Voca in the last few days, something I couldn't wait to see badly.

But the agony was rewarded in the best way.

He accepted a duel and an engagement.

You fight for yourself.

Lecan will fight to save himself.

Norma's heart trembles hot when she thinks about it.

Too much joy, makes me want to scream.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean Lecan wins.

You will lose no matter how many recans you have. This is a duel that the Marquis Cao is seriously trying to fight. I can never be optimistic if I wonder how rare and excellent a grace you bring out.

If Rekan loses, he becomes the wife of the Pirate Marquis.

But Lekan will do the duel for him. And if you win, you can be Lecan and your fiancée. No, it's already been. Isn't it natural to blame the danger to that extent?

At this moment in time, I even think that there is no happier woman in the world than myself.

There's nothing like letting them change the place of the duel.

When will you use the intelligence you have been polishing without using it at this time?

With all the spirit in his body, Norma intends to make a change in the place of the duel a reality.

That smile, which grinned, looked very much like the smile Jerez gave her when she broke up with Lecan, but no one knows that.
