Natalie, who talks to the cat, ran into us by chance.
Rigid Natalie.
I stood up without knowing what to say.
Hey ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Ooh
The sound of the cat echoed in silence.
Tea tiger cats don't care about human circumstances.
When I stretched my legs forward and backward at my pace, I walked away into the shade of the trees.
"Ah......"
Unfortunately, Natalie snapped at the brown tail that disappeared to green.
But soon he remembered our existence.
"Did you hear me talking to myself...?
"... why don't you just ask me?
"I'm glad you're listening."
Natalie's face turned bright red.
I trembled little by little and my earlobes became red.
... I understand that feeling very well.
I was just talking to the cat, alarmed because there was no one around.
What if someone else sees you loose?
... the answer was now demonstrated by Natalie in front of me.
I don't think it's so embarrassing to be asked to speak to an animal.
My situation was on a high shelf and there was nothing else to sympathize with.
"Natalie, please calm down. Calm down and tell me a little bit..."
Natalie ~ ~ ~ ~ ~?
Natalie startled and slowed herself down by the voice of the woman she heard.
The Lord of the approaching voice was a woman dressed as a maid.
"Dear Natalie!! You came here!!"
"... I was worried."
Wow, that's amazing.
Natalie, I've already got my usual doll face back.
When I looked closely, my cheeks were a little red, but it was a quick and stunning switch.
I'm going to give you a nice applause.
"Natalie, get ready... Retichea?
"Good evening."
Looking at my face, I greeted the hardened maid and decided to launch a rescue ship to Natalie.
"I just met Natalie-san, so I was allowed to walk while we were talking. Isn't that right, Mr. Natalie?
"... yeah, that's right. Lady Leticia was very kind, she was very good at talking, and it was fun."
Natalie will talk to me immediately.
With Natalie, who looked relieved somewhere without expression, I was heading for separation.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
After entering the room and giving a formal greeting again, Natalie paid the bill.
Natalie's maids were reluctant at first, but Natalie's orders were from the Lord.
I also accepted to temporarily lower Lucian, so he was reluctant to convince me.
In the room where Lucien and the maids are immediately outside, Natalie and I face each other alone.
"Thank you Leticia!! I just saved you………!!"
Natalie broke her hips deeply.
The gesture is a tribute to the highest level of gratitude and respect.
"Please raise your face. Natalie's feelings are well communicated."
"Thank you so much!! And please!! Please keep my appearance confidential………!!"
"Don't worry. You're not gonna bullshit me, dust."
Natalie-san, you looked like you were about to cry and turn bright red.
It's terrible to chase them there. It was too much to drink.
I have a habit of crushing animals with my own words, so I don't think Natalie is any other human resource.
If I swear not to say anything, Natalie seemed to have calmed down a little.
"Thank you...!... I have a bad habit of talking to cats and animals when I get anxious or careless. It's pathetic, but I appreciate you letting it go."
"I don't think that's pathetic. I know you're embarrassed to be seen, but I don't think you need to be so humiliated."
I will deny Natalie's words.
It is to encourage her to be depressed, and it is also a word to look back at our past.
I think there are a lot of people who remember talking to animals if they like fluffs.
"Is that so...? It was so pathetic to whisper weak noises to animals, and people around me were accusing them all together....."
Natalie murmuring without strength is a 16-year-old girl whose mask peels off.
Her anxiety may well be justified by her home and growing environment.
In Natalie-sama's place of origin, prejudice against the Beast was deeply rooted.
Because of this, it seems that there is no culture that loves small animals such as cats and dogs.
The idea that human beings are supreme and that other beings are inferior.
The Duchess' daughter, Natalie, leaked a weak voice to the animal, and other people around her could not have allowed it.
"Indeed, I don't think Natalie's home was welcome to have intimate contact with animals. However, there are many people in the world who take care of animals and keep a part of their hearts. I have memories of animals hanging out with me when I was depressed."
"Lady Leticia...? Is that true?
"Unbelievable? Does anyone have one or two expressions that others can't see?
"I'm sorry!! I'm not suspicious. However, Mr. Reticcia was always very good. I was only one year old, and even though I was married from an exotic country, you were magnificent and elegant...."
The gaze of admiration and respect pierced my eyes and was a little awkward.
... why I can calm down in this exotic land.
There are memories and experiences from the previous life, but the biggest one is Oniisama's first education.
Oniisama's whip of love... even without Spartan nobility education, I can assure you that it was absolutely impossible for me to marry an exotic queen, who was a small citizen in my previous life.
After experiencing a storm of tears jumping out of oniisama with a beautiful smile, I was able to socialize with most noble opponents without fear.
It's a long way from oniisama now, but Lucian is always there.
I am aware that I am blessed in many ways than Natalie, who was accompanied by Dears.
"I think Natalie was very generous in this royal castle away from home. I think it was good enough to try to take on the crime of chiffon cake theft led by Dears at his birthday."
"... thank you. But that happened because I couldn't stop Dears in the first place....."
That's how Natalie lowered her head again.
"I apologize again, Mr. Leticia. We apologize for the inconvenience I caused the other day because I didn't realize the theft that Dears was going on. Everything has been caused by my impudence."
"Dear Natalie....."
"Don't you despise me? I know best myself that I don't deserve a queen."
"... what does that mean?
"It means exactly what you say. You just saw Leticia, didn't you? I'm a pathetic person who can only expose himself to cats and animals. My parents have been scolding me for being shy and stinking for a long time. Becoming a queen candidate for the royal castle was supposed to be a three-year-old and active sister....."
Natalie bites her lips.
Her sister does hear that she is sick and has no prospect of healing.
"In the blood of my Duke, I was the only one who could be His Majesty's Queen Glenlead. However, I was not a very capable person to play such a major role... In order not to betray my parents' expectations, I concealed my cowardly nature, wore a faceless mask, entrusted power to my aunt, Dears, and became a queen candidate."
