Shut-in Magician

Dawn of the week began the usual days.

But although it was Water Day and we went to the production classroom, Amalia had not come.

I was worried about lunch break and rushed to finish my meal and looked for Tiberio.

Fortunately, I was in the student club room, so when I disturbed him, he welcomed me in with pleasure.

"Um, because Amalia wasn't in class today"

Tiberio said, "Yeah?," he tilted his neck, then nodded as he remembered.

"She was taking production classes. Well, it's this morning."

"Yes, because Amalia is so excited about the class, I was worried that you were sick or something."

"Um, that's not what I'm saying."

I smiled bitterly, then glanced around the room. Looks like he saw a student council member with bigger ears and chose to take Siu outside.

"I'm coming out a little bit. If I'm late, will you tell my teacher properly?"

I asked a friend-like young man to pull Siu's hand.

They took him to a private room close to the student council room.

"It's the privilege of the student chairman, and I owe him all year round. It's convenient, so I use it a lot."

It's office style, but the sofa feels good and it's a complete break room.

"You don't need a forethought, do you? Have you been consulted by Miss Amalia?

Tiberio himself sat there, recommending to sit on the couch with him.

His knight stands in the hallway outside, with only Ferres and the others indoors besides Siu.

Tiberio paid me.

"Yes. I can't go into details because they say it's useless to say otherwise."

"Yeah. You can't tell me. So, let me give you my information. She's in a trap, she's been pushed so hard to be discreet for a while."

"Huh..."

"Apparently, Miss Hildegard is involved in this. I think you were worried that you couldn't go to school with your parents like that. They told me to be discreet at home. Personally, I just think it's bad. Be dressed like you gave them a word."

"Oh, uh, that's a little bit"

Not knowing if the information was missing or incorrect, Siu pinched his mouth in confusion. Then Tiberio lowered his voice even more and gave himself up.

"What's the story of being nominated for remarriage by an older man?

"Yeah."

"And about the Countess?

"I even know his name."

"So what's the story of that other man telling you to stop playing with dolls because you're so clumsy?

"Huh?"

"Ah, enough to be. That's it. Oh, my God. On second thought, you were not a nobleman. You couldn't have gotten this information. Thank you. I think of you as an adult."

They laughed at me.

Unexpectedly, I could feel that the youth in front of me was noble.

I'm here to talk to you about Amalia's "pathetic" story, and he's supposed to be on a dating and friend level, but I can smile at this.

He is a nobleman, even if he seems gentle and calm.

"The other man tried to bring her into the Chamber at a weekend night club. You know what it means to bring in an unmarried woman, right?

"Fait accompli…"

"Exactly. Those involved, who were in a hurry to be vigilant, brought them back, but said at that time, as a throwaway dialogue, earlier -"

Stop playing with dolls, huh?

"So, it's worse after that. It's embarrassing and unbearable that my fiancée is delayed in such a play. I thought you were going to embarrass the man who became my husband."

"Terrible, terrible..."

"I didn't see it, but an acquaintance told me. It means Miss Amalia turned bright blue and was still about to fall. And the bad news between them, there are other people besides a hard-mouthed acquaintance. They got all funny and crazy rumors going on."

"I guess it was planned"

"Exactly."

Tiberio sighed heavily and looked at the ceiling.

"I used to suggest to Amalia to keep her tentative first engagement. For each other."

"Oh, really?

"I had an interest, too. Of course, to her. But you didn't accept me because of me. She's a sweet girl."

If you listen to me, the two were close to childhood.

They came and went because their parents are noble nobles, and they were close to each other to the extent that they did the deception over and over, even if they didn't have a relationship like boys.

"... I had someone I wanted to marry, not someone I could forgive. I needed time to get my father to admit it, and to root around me again. But Amalia said no because the other woman was going to get hurt."

"That's sweet."

"Yeah. And then it was also Amalia who took her. So let me develop my demeanor, and even make me an adoptive daughter of a remote aristocrat."

"Well, then."

"I managed to bring him in even to get engaged."

Winked, told me.

"As you can guess, my fiancée is a common man. Half the blood of the nobility is drawn, but it's inferior, and you're in a poor house, and you're a concubine."

"... well done"

"Oh, I did my best. Your fiancée is the best. And it was Amalia who helped me. I can't get my head up on her."

But as the son of the Marquis, I can't even move that big.

"When I move, I can start talking about whether to take it as my opponent."

"I'm sure Amalia didn't mean it either."

"It is."

For once, they're putting up nets all over the place, gathering information, and spreading rumors. He said he's finally about to cause confusion with stories of hostile factions and so on.

"Really, Miss Hildegard doesn't do a lot of things."

The noon bell rang, but Tiberio had no sign of standing up. Totally integrated with the couch, he talks to Siu like a whine.

"When she gets here, it gets easier."

"Uh, excuse me"

"No, it's not your fault, though"

I was laughed at, but, well, I also feel like there's an end to the reason.

Tiberio also told me he heard rumors and wanted me to tell him where they really were, so I decided to talk.

Long time, about that case.

At the end of the conversation, Tiberio was laughing too much and weeping.

"No, that was hilarious!

It's not a joke.

"Yeah. But it's been a while since I was sober. Oh, yeah, I told her that."

They also heard the circumstances from Krall and Dino, but they, the nobles, did not seem to explain so naked. There are also conversations that Siu didn't teach, so he didn't know.

"You've hurt my pride! Did she make you a bad person?"

"I can't deny it just because I'm not wrong, and I can't explain it around because someone didn't complain directly to me in the first place."

"So, you left it. Lately, rumors are walking alone, and it's been a hell of a day for you."

Siu shook his neck sideways that he didn't have to tell me.

Tiberio opened his mouth as he cured his laughter, wiping his tears.

"But she's totally wrong. You know, that's not something to say to an emergency that you didn't take a response to a noble woman. Instead, one thing to say to me when I do is to be despised in this country." Noble things, you have to behave as they deserve "refers to fulfilling social responsibilities and duties according to their status. Never praise or disparage you for saving her. [M] What she did was say 'cowardly behavior'. Sounds like a common example of despised aristocracy on the battlefield."

With intense words in his mouth, he had a grin on his face.

Oh, Siu blurred that you would look like this too.

"To the extent that it did, she apparently ended up with a sincerely disgraceful person. Wield the sword of justice."

"... I'm afraid of my eyes, Student Chairman"

By the way, Mr. Sioux, would you call me by name?

"Master Tiberio?

"No, no. We're friends now, aren't we?

"... Whatever the call is, isn't it a good idea?

"You, but didn't you call me out about Oscarius Border Uncle?"

"Ah."

When were you listening?

"You got caught. I'm not used to nobility yet. Yeah."

"Oh, you fooled me."

"Yes, yes. So you should keep your connections wide open. To each other, huh?

"... Yes"

"Let me call you Siu, too. Well, let's get a little closer together."

So he decided to go on talking to him for a while longer, apparently totally skipping the afternoon class.

By the way, Caspar also told me that Tiberio could not refuse because the age difference was acceptable.

"Even though you're 25 years old up there?

"... although a little too far apart. There is no such thing. However, it is very insane to propose to a high-ranking nobleman and a defectless female counterpart. So, that's where the puppet play is."

"Ah, ahhh!

So I finally convinced Siu.
