Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!
Points and dots to connect with her
The next day, I was on my own again, heading to the annex where Master Hélène lives.
That said, I don't have business with Master Hélène. Walking relaxed, there were the Kingsguards in front of the hall who had seen them all yesterday, bowing their heads towards me.
"Good morning, Lady Zheng. I'm not spying, but are you running errands for Master Hélène?
It was a natural question, but I returned the denial.
"No, you don't. I just wanted to ask you guys something."
"Huh? To us, is it?
"Really, just a little bit?
"Of course that is. I don't mind..."
I chuckled at the confused soldier and threw a question I had prepared in advance.
In contrast, the two soldiers, who apparently did not question it in particular, honestly replied yes.
"Yeah, you're seeing it. Is that what you did?
"I knew...... Yeah, it's nothing. Who is delivering Master Hélène's white lilies later?
Finally, I thought, I asked. I was just a little concerned.
To my question, the soldier nodded one thing.
"I'm an old gardener who takes care of the garden in the royal neighborhood with one hand. We have been delivering white lilies about once every few days for about three years now. Looks like the lady's lord Emma is receiving it, was there a problem too?
When I heard about the gardener, I was convinced. I've never met him, but he does have a gardener to look after him exclusively. Anyway, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, it's a special garden where all kinds of flowers bloom.
"No, nothing's wrong with that. I just wanted to ask. Thanks."
"Huh? I wish I could have helped you...?
Leaving two soldiers tilting their necks, I left Master Helene's throne. All right, all right, for now, I could hear what you wanted to hear.
Humph and I nodded alone and now headed to my mother-in-law's room.
Neither does my mother-in-law have business. Coming to the front of the room, I spoke again to the Kingsguards guarding the door.
"Hey, can I have a minute?
"What, Your Highness? Isn't it good for the queen?
"No. I need to ask you something."
I guess we didn't think we had business to do. The two soldiers, who also voiced confusion, looked at each other.
"... I don't mind, what can I do for you"
A slightly alarming gaze. In contrast, I chuckled that it wasn't a big deal.
"I just need to ask you something, so don't be nervous. You don't have to tell me if I'm being stopped. Because I'm not going to force you. But if it's not, I just want you to tell me one thing, and maybe..."
The soldiers who listened to me both turned their eyes round.
He tells me the look was unexpected.
"What do you think?
"... no, you know. Is that all you want to hear?
"Yes, I am."
To be clear, one of the soldiers opened his mouth with a snack.
"... Your Ladyship is right"
"Hey here!
Another blamed him in a hurry, but the soldier who gave me the answer shook his head.
"No, but I'm not breaking orders..."
"Ugh...... No, it does, technically speaking..."
The two of them have started to talk to each other about what seems to be a blur. Shut up and watch how it goes.
"... come on, I want you to know me too. You always said that, didn't you?
"... well, yes. But, but!
"Come to think of it, don't you think this is a good opportunity?
……
silent soldier. Eventually he nodded quietly.
"... ok"
It was the two of us having a meaningful conversation, but we seem to have talked.
The soldier who was blaming me said to me.
"This guy was snorting, too, but as you guessed, Lady Zheng."
I can't say any more, but I smiled thanks to the soldier who told me.
"Enough."
"No, I'm glad I could help you."
The answers returned from them were as expected, but I was able to get information that I could back up, and I was quite relieved.
I thought before my mother-in-law noticed me, I thanked them again and left the scene in a hurry, but I honestly came to be stared at with an eye that said, "Thank you."
I gave it back to him not to expect much, but I'm sure he's expecting a lot more.
... because if it wasn't, you probably wouldn't have told me.
"Mi-na, you're not being honest..."
Walk alone in the hallway.
You're not honest at all with anyone who doesn't think it's okay to stay like this on their own.
All of them, they're holding each other back and they're all geese.
Maybe I can move because I'm a newcomer who doesn't know the profound circumstances. And maybe it's an extra blame.
That's why I'm not going to stop it now.
I want everyone to be happy. So if there's anything I can do, I want to do it.
While walking in the corridors of the royal neighbourhood in a pompous fashion, I think the next thing to do is think.
"I guess the problem is Master Hélène..."
The secret that she told me was creeping in my head.
She's the same as the soldiers just now. You must have given me all the information possible. I can see that. It's generally predictable what she wants.
Because of that, we've been able to talk this far, but I didn't think it was going to be possible to act on the swine rush.
'Cause I'm missing one piece. It won't be the result I want as it is.
"Ha..."
I leave the royal settlement sighing that it's something I don't quite do well.
Walking down the corridor, I, uh, wanted to see Fried's face. I might as well just take a peek into the office.
I thought so, and my voice rang as I took the path that way.
Hey, Liddy.
"Ah, brother."
It was my brother who walked from the front. Coming to my side in an easygoing manner, he smiled and spoke to me.
"You asked Fried earlier, didn't you? You said you went to practice landscape viewing for the Kingsguard Knights yesterday? How'd it go? Did Fried look good?
"Huh? Yeah, of course!
Suddenly he talked about yesterday and was confused for a moment, but nodded quickly.
Looking at me, who was slightly positive, my brother laughed as if he was frightened.
Pomp and slap me on the shoulder.
"I'm starting to think you like Freed, too. It's strange because I think I miss the times when he said (tentative) things like this."
"... don't talk about it"
Even though I've always liked it, I honestly don't want to remind myself of the stupid past when I didn't try to admit it robustly for some reason (tentatively), etc.
What is it? I don't know what that means. I'm not stupid, am I?
It was just embarrassing to even think about it now.
My brother laughed in the back of his throat as he missed his gaze feeling unbearable.
"It's not okay. The Fried one looks happy too."
That's what I said, I laughed a little and then I got to the bottom of it.
"Liddy."
"Hmm? What"
A brother with a rare and serious face. Tilting his neck, his brother prefaced, "I'll tell you one thing."
"I told Fried too, so I'll tell you too.... if you ever think of it both ways, don't ever imitate the one that's going to make Fried sad."
"What? Suddenly"
Makes Fried sad? I denied it even though I didn't know what my brother was talking about.
"Aren't you stupid, brother? You can't do that."
"I know. I mean, you're not that kind of guy. But it's not fair to just tell Fried. He really likes you. If anything happens to you, maybe he'll break. So don't be a fool."
"... I know that"
embarrassed with a true face, and still I objected with a small voice.
I know Fried loves me. I understand that you chose me as the only one. So I said.
"Even if your brother doesn't tell you, I know exactly what you're doing"
To tell you heartily, my brother nodded "Lai Lai".
Then I break my face all the time. Again, I've tapped my shoulder with Pompon.
"I don't think Fried's gonna let you get away with this now. If you give him a little runaway vibration, he'll be imprisoned immediately."
"... hey brother, because that's not funny"
Yeah, yeah, arm in arm, my brother nodding over and over.
But those who were told were not accumulated.
"... stop threatening me"
With a smile on his face, his brother grinned slightly.
"You don't have to worry. Looks like Fried can't help but spoil you right now. If it takes you a little bit longer to convince me, you can buy me anything."
"I don't need anything else. Something you want me to buy and not be with Fried."
If you want something, I'll buy it myself. Besides, Fried gave me a ring.
I've had enough.
"Right. That's what you are."
To my answer, my brother nodded satisfactorily.
The face was kind of upset, so I kicked with my heels to the good that my brother wasn't pointing this way. My brother jumps quickly.
"Yes, yes! Oh, Liddy! You just kicked me in the heel!
"I was uncomfortable with my brother, who looked like he knew something. I'm not reflecting."
"Hey! Reflect there!
"Hmm."
Turn the pussy around. My brother still says, "Yes!" and was making an exaggerated noise.
Ignoring that, looking out the corridor, I saw Glenn walking through the garden.
"Oh, it's Glenn."
