"This is Marianne Edwards, my fiancée."

Gilbert's voice was soft as he reached out and hugged his beloved woman's shoulders.

At the beginning, the woman, who is grateful for the pleasure of meeting you, hangs her thin, peach-colored hair to her ears. My skin flushes with tension, and I can't lift my head lowered even though I realize that it's getting slightly moist. She tends to fall asleep inadvertently, and she is a sociable woman as it should be.

But now she can't speak fluently either. My fiancée, a man, told me that he would be brought in today. "My friend" is not the kind of person that even the countess's girlfriend would want to see.

The sharp gaze of the man who returned the greeting seemed to be loosening. Marianne received it with her terrified white hand as she offered her hand to the customer for a handshake.

Albert Royal Ivy.

"I see, Gilbert was just obsessed." Beautiful woman. How about that? Are you used to living in a mansion? ”

"Ah, thank you..." Life is just a little bit... but I'm really, really happy. ”

The woman who blushed even more when her complexion was faint, was overwhelmed by the majesty of the king's companions, and once they were together, they fell down again, but at the end of the day, they fell down.

Having been allowed to live with her since she got engaged, she finally moved to this mansion a month ago. Until a short while ago, she was pushed into the small room of her parents' house, and her body is still unfamiliar with the mansion where she is allowed to come and go freely. However, it was pleasant to think that the man I loved would come back and be wrapped up in it.

"Still, Gilbert, are you sure this is the only servant you have?" If you were prime minister, you'd have the same mansion, but you'd have more servants. "

“It's okay, I'm used to doing what I have to do, and I don't need anything else if I can get Maria to feel comfortable.”

After greeting each other and exhaling, Albert quickly looked around the interior from the front door.

I bought a mansion and finally moved in with my fiancée as an adult. Even after I finished moving, I got settled, and Gilbert was the first person I invited to introduce me as a friend.

Gilbert was more interested in his fiancée than before, so Albert, who was forced to open his busy body, was invited to visit the mansion outside the castle in the Kingdom of Freesia, which was also his first time.

Gilbert's Mansion was a splendid house, but on the contrary, it had too few servants. Albert was dumbfounded by the small number of servants aligned around the entrance of the Mansion to receive the visitors called Wang Miao. With Gilbert's money, we can definitely hire more than twice that.

In response to Albert's words, Jilbert shook his head to the side, holding Marianne's shoulders to his nostrils. Gilbert, who was originally on the side of the servant, and Marianne, who had been despised by her family for several years, both had nothing to do with the life of a maid. If even the minimum necessary for cleaning, washing, cooking, and caring were covered, I did not want to deliberately increase the population of the mansion and leave it to others.

It is more important for them to have time alone than for each other.

"I want to live quietly for a while, me and Marianne."...... I've really had a hard time with her for a while now..... "

At first, Gilbert's long, slippery gaze gently smiled, slowly sharpening afterwards.

Without a sound, Albert's eyebrows wrinkled at the black sign of overflowing silently. Marianne smiled bitterly while Albert said, "Okay, okay."

I think the months between my engagement to Gilbert and living together were really long and dazzling. I think it's good that I was able to spend time with my dear Marianne now, but Jillvell hasn't forgiven me yet.

The stupidity was heard later, so I urged my friend to guide me to the guest room first, and Gilbert obeyed me even though he gave me no signs of blackness. With a voice of consent, I passed my friend to the guest room to sew up the time between busy hours. As soon as I calmed down on the sofa facing the table, the maids arranged the freshly brewed tea in front of them without a sound. When the baked goods were placed in the middle of the table, all the people who had left the Lord disappeared outside the door.

"Sure enough... until a month ago, Lord Marianne was busy too." The rumor alone has reached me. Even though you're young, you're a calm, beautiful daughter. "

"As long as you come to my mansion, I won't let you come against her will again."

Gilbert tilted the cup with a slightly sharp word to Albert, who spoke of Marianne's reputation before moving out.

Without daring to deny it, Marianne lowered her head to show Albert that she was “sorry.” I heard from Gilbert that he was a close friend, but I didn't think that he would deny the words of the Wang counterpart. But it was certainly difficult for her after she got engaged.

"As for the fiancée of the young prime minister, it was not long before his parents bragged and touched him in the social circle. Until now, I was driven to a room in the corner of the mansion, and I was frequently sent to the social scene on that day.

Whenever my father and mother returned their palms and told their surroundings that they were "proud daughters" and "treasured treasures," I thought they were really doing well. Moreover, even the sisters who hadn't even been interested in themselves before suddenly started flirting, "Let's introduce our sisters and husbands to each other."

There is no telling how the Chancellor's heart was struck or what happened. When I loved him, Gilbert was not a prime minister, but a boy who was not even a servant.

Now that you're not as weak as you were when you were a child, it's still good to learn that fatigue has led to more socializing and going out. If you don't want to look back at your family now, you don't want to go back to being family with them, who are all focused on Gilbert's position. However, as a result, I was sorry that even Jilbert, who was busy as Prime Minister, had to free up his body many times for social and family-related relationships.

"I already got engaged, but until she was sixteen, she was so... thanks to you, I've had enough of the Mansion that I found out about earlier."

"Since you're a minor, you can't help it." You made Marianne wait until you were seventeen, so it's the same crime. "

The pain pierced the spot, and the next moment, Jillvell closed his fluent mouth and raised his eyebrows. Marianne couldn't stand it this time and laughed with her giggles and mouth covered.

The conversation between the two of them has become more pleasant, thinking that there is someone who can beat Jilvell so much. I thought I would have a more formal conversation with Gilbert because I was a royal, but the immediate conversation was just a matter of Gilbert's folly.

She was still a minor when Jilbert picked her up, and then it took her a long time to get out of the house, even though her engagement was quick. Because I was my fiancée, I immediately wanted to go to my own mansion, but Jill Vale refused to accept my underage daughter.

I tried not to put it well, but in the end I had to wait until Marianne's birthday. Gilbert thinks that the purpose of his position as an aristocrat was to show off Marianne and his fiancée to the aristocrats around him.

Originally, I went to pick up Marianne when I was an adult to allow my parents to get engaged on the spot, but I don't think I should have acted in advance if I'd let her be a show-off. I also thought that if she remained disguised as her age by her special abilities, she would be brought to the social world sooner, but that still would not change until she was sixteen.

Without the original adult format, it seems that she may have been taken away to a neighbouring country before she reached the age of sixteen, but it is unacceptable that she was used at the end. From now on, she decided she would never get involved with that clan unless she wanted to.

"But you're not going to let me out in the social world, are you?" She'll want a friend, too. "

"No, I... I've enjoyed the social world for the rest of my life."

Ask Albert for his arms together, Marianne raises her hand small.

Jilbert himself would love to take her to tea parties and parties as much as she wanted. Even if it wasn't, the place where the two of them wanted to go out alone was like a mountain, and they didn't have much preparation until she moved to the Mansion. However, Marianne herself is also less interested in the social world.

Sometimes I was already taken around by my parents. After looking back at the palms of my parents and sisters, I don't feel like the other Ladies will be able to see me anyway. I didn't want to make time to get along with someone like my sisters.

It was the same for the maids who were the most often face-to-face in the mansion. In the previous mansion, even the maid could not get any relationship with each other except for the work entrusted to her father....... Until my fiancé named Gilbert came to pick me up.

Above all, she was fully satisfied with just being able to spend time with Gilbert. I'd like to get along with Albert, Jilbert talks to his friends, but honestly, as long as Jilbert is around, I don't need anything else.

With this, Jilbert laughed at Albert without saying a word. I had a friend named Albert, so it's fine, but I don't want to deny Marianne's pull-back plan because I think it would be fine if she were still there. I also know that if she is social in nature, she can make friends as soon as she wants to.

"Then, will you definitely invite me to the castle this time?" I'd definitely like to introduce you to my wife. "

"! T-That... Rosa, is it about Her Majesty...?!"

“Of course, my wife is the only one.”

Albert laughs with Marianne, whose eyes turn round like a lie.

Excuse me, but Marianne apologized in a hurry immediately after, but her forehead still seemed to sweat.

I know that Jilbert's job involves him a lot, but I don't think he's ever going to see the Queen. Albert was told what kind of person Gilbert was, but I know very little about Rosa. Instead of meeting easily at the count's house, I even wondered if I could really meet with someone who could be called a miracle if invited to the ceremony.

"I still don't care about my beloved daughter." It would be good for her to have a friend. And Rosa, too. I don't have many friends. "

Marianne halfway smiled at the King's mixed laughter.

Even in the social world and from Gilbert, the Queen, who still only felt as far away and majestic as she could look at the portrait, sounded like a really normal woman in his mouth.

I think the stone was mixed up with Jill Vail. And I don't have many friends with the Queen, which means the same thing.

Unlike myself, who was not blessed with the opportunity to make friends in the environment, I think that in the case of the queen, she merely did not attract others. Even though a lot of people want to be close to her, Marianne also feels that she can get along with herself.

Albert said, "Baby... do you like children? When asked, Marianne nodded slowly. I have no experience with children, but I think they are adorable. But he speaks of it as the first princess, even at a young age.

In response to Marianne's reply, Wang Fai threw his gaze at Gilbert, saying, "Then I will be glad," and "I will be glad of my pride." Asked, Gilbert squinted his shoulders and laughed. I know very well that his character has never begun. Marianne has nothing to say if she can make friends. I am anxious to engage Marianne with a man of far superior standing, the Queen, but Albert's trust prevailed if she was the woman he loved.

Marianne, who said she was sorry for Albert's decision to send an invitation sooner rather than later, also had some slight hopes.

“Speaking of which, Jill Vail. Why don't we live together and get married? I guess you're not going to let go anyway."

“I know, but I'm happy with it now.”

My job as prime minister is also busy. As she continued, Gilbert's voice lowered slightly as she smiled.

Albert is right to live with Marianne like this and not want to be seen by other women. However, there was no desire to seek a relationship more than an engagement. I don't want to spend time under the same roof as her, if I can get along with her.

With a quiet smile on his face, Marianne held her chest with one hand. From the top of the sofa, he stacked himself to the hand he placed on his lap. It was told that he had no intention of marrying before he moved to this mansion.

I also understand that it's not because I don't love myself, but because I think of myself more carefully. But no matter how many times he said his feelings, he would be lonely to be so stubborn. From the beginning, I loved a kind-hearted young man who had nothing to do with family ties or blood, and who was no longer a servant.

Albert confirms that his pale pink eyes are shaking compared to Gilbert's.

It must be both thoughts, but I still think they're young. Previously, when I told Gilbert, "If you have kids, I want you to be friends with Pride," I remember being mildly suspended. I was thinking about trying to fall in love with the topic of my child about today, but I will reconsider. Sixteen-year-old Marianne is still alive, but she thinks that if there is a circumstance where she can't make children herself, it may hurt her badly. Then I suggested to myself that I should reconsider seeing Rosa, who was captive to Pride and her daughter, "Of course, at the next opportunity", but Marianne replied with a soft voice, "No, please."

"I'd love to meet you." I'm also very excited to meet the daughter of His Highness King Albert. "

“Albert is fine. Jilbert, I won't say anything about the couple, but if you make a good woman cry like this, I won't forgive you."

"Sigh... I know..."

Marianne laughs again as Albert sharpens his gaze and Jill Vale, who gets angry in front of her, says, "Please, Marianne."

If you think that your shoulders are losing strength in Jill Vail's completely rounded back, it would be unnecessarily smiling. It was the first time I had ever seen Jilbert so relaxed in front of me. Unlike Jill Vale, who doesn't want to make children, Marianne doesn't have any yearnings, but she doesn't feel bored just watching these two interactions.

Moreover, if I could see Albert's daughter this time, it would bounce my chest now.

"Well, I think you don't need to worry about Marianne passing through the castle for me."

"Albert, that story is at the castle again..." I'm in front of her right now. "

"I'm interested, Master Albert. Jill... Jill Bale doesn't talk much about it."

"Don't hesitate to call me in front of me, Marianne." I have heard from him of your fondness. He's too good at hiding things. "

Gilbert dropped his eyebrows as he felt that his worst position was about to get worse.

I think that both Albert and Marianne are more sociable than I thought. Marianne is only a friendly opponent regardless of her position, and she can be defused immediately.

Even the woman who didn't think well of the nobility was a woman who had taken her heart in one night.

If you thought that the current Regent still had roots in him, that he had appeared by age-manipulation in the Prime Minister's examination, and that you were nearer to your age, you had been obsessed with him since before his engagement. I didn't think you were the daughter of the Count family, and if the conversation played out, the time would have passed quickly.

It was time for Albert to raise his hips after the time had passed and the windows and clock had confirmed that the sun was beginning to set.

Before dinner, Marianne rose with Jilbert to see him off. I will send it to the carriage, and when it is followed by the back.

"Maria.... Actually, there's a place I'd like to hang out with Albert after this." Will you hang out with me, too? "

"?...... I see."

Marianne nodded as she tilted her head at the words hanging on Jillvale, who suddenly looked back.

Beyond Jilbert, Albert, who had already heard, smiled at Marianne. The two laughing faces raised doubts that today was the day to welcome Albert, but she took the hand of Gilbert. Wearing a thin coat, they saw Albert off to the royal carriage, and then they boarded the carriage in the Mansion.

With the King, she didn't dare to ask Jilbert if he was going to visit the castle, or if he was going to say hello to some nobleman, or if she was going to go around thinking in the carriage. He doesn't clearly tell me how hard he worked to pick himself up, because he was better at telling stories than he was when he was a child.

The carriage swayed at a slow speed for a while, and Albert was riding on another carriage, and Marianne's thread of tension gradually loosened. For her, who had been nervous for days after hearing that Albert was coming to the Mansion, time in the Mansion was much more peaceful and enjoyable than expected.

In the end, I was not asked what kind of struggle Jilbert had to make to become the Prime Minister, but I think it was good to just hear the scales. Marianne was also saved by the fact that she had such a lovely friend since becoming Prime Minister. I don't know how much he walked through the path to pick himself up, or how much he held a miserable position. However, I was able to confirm again today that he has a friend at work who understands at least now.

Your eyelids are getting heavier as you wander around.

It was when I leaned my head against the shoulder of Jill Vail, who was sitting next to me, and my chest swelled up. The carriage slowed down slowly, and his beloved called out to him, "Here we are."

The door was opened by the gentleman, and he went down the steps careful not to step off with his head, which had not yet cooled down. Jilvert took her hand and stroked her cheeks with the coolness of the wind, waking her head up little by little.

Albert, who had already stepped out of the royal carriage, was stunned by all the sights and hearts before apologizing for keeping him waiting for just a few seconds.

A royal castle and a view of the castle.

"This is where you remember Marianne, Gilbert."

Gilbert returns a word to Albert, who pairs his arms and asks as he receives the cold wind from the front.

Albert was the first to say that if such a beautiful view was what Gilbert had told him before, he would want to introduce it once. Then on the way back from introducing Marianne, I also suggested from Gilbert, and I made preparations for this day.

Marianne, who opened her pale pink eyes wide and gasped for breath, could not speak immediately. I let go of the hand that was taken by Jillvale and covered my mouth with both hands. When asked in a gentle voice, "Do you remember?", the tears of a large grain began to diminish before the words. I can't forget it, because it's an important place that hasn't burnt off my chest for a long time.

"I actually bought it before the Mansion."... I wish I could have brought you here sooner. "

Until the Count's house was disrupted and her life settled down.

Take the hand of my dear girlfriend and gently put your mouth on her back.

Gilbert also bought a mansion for Marianne to live with immediately after she got engaged, but it was on this hill that he attacked Daewoo with the "small" mansion in the residence of the country's prime minister.

I don't want to monopolize this land that inspired me to marry her, the Countess, who had no money or status. One day, someone in a similar position may be saved by this view. Originally, it was a place where my parents brought me with no money.

I just wanted to avoid having this land of memories change with the passage of time to be someone else's.

Together with the girl I loved, I wanted to preserve this land and her memories forever.

It doesn't change, it doesn't fade, it doesn't change.

I wanted to keep that figure in a place where no one belonged to me and no one refused.

"...... I love you, Maria. I swear to you for life, hundreds of millions of times. You are all I have. [M] We'll stay together, and we'll go anywhere together. I'll come to this view every night if you want."

I don't say once a month, once a week, or once every two days. That's how they say they're free.

Rather than giving her the same name, she doesn't have a surname that she can be proud of. I cannot allow myself to be born in shame, neither to exchange blood, nor to have children with one another. But I swear again and again that I will take everything else to make her happy.

Marianne shook her throat holding her mouth with her opposite hand to his unimaginable words and scenery.

With a dazzling castle shining brighter than a starry sky in the night, the loved one who became the country's prime minister vows to love only himself. I am convinced once again that it was Gilbert Butler, not the Prime Minister, who loved him. I feel happy every time I'm sworn in love that I really only need him.

With her eyes blurred by tears, Marianne clenched her gripped hand and kicked her short on the ground. I jumped into his chest, which I knew was in front of him, and without any hesitation, I was held in my arms. I cried in the most reassuring arm in the world, and if I raised my face without stopping tears, my lips were combined as if I had read my feelings.

Albert closed his mouth and laughed as he looked at the two people he loved and looked at the view across the hill again.

While it is the private property of the Prime Minister, there is nothing to show for it. I'm sure they'll come to this place without guards, no standing boards, no signs. I'm sure she wants that too.

The two of them would meet here again and again, and while quietly convinced of that, Albert burned his eyes at the spreading scenery.

Sure, it's beautiful. I thought of the castle where my beloved woman lived and the castle where she lived.

……

Ka-san! Please read it again!

Immature voices bounce up when the picture book is closed. The sweet voice of her daughter is adorable to anyone's eyes as she pulls her cheeks against her mother's body.

Marianne Butler stroked her daughter's hair and then flipped the picture book to the cover. The pale light blue eyes of my father heal my heart.

Stella-sama, Marianne-sama weighs a fortune, so don't let her do it too hard.

"Master Marianne, are you feeling well?" If it's a picture book, I'll replace it. "

"It's all right, Agnes, and Trixie too." I'm doing well today, so don't worry about it. "

Fufufu, while hiding his mouth, thanked the two maids who were worried.

After wearing the second one, my life of taking care of my body started again, and I went out less, but it didn't hurt at all. I think it's also thanks to my beloved husband and daughter, and now my maids and guards, who are as close as friends.

In the past, the maids were not able to persuade me to this point, and the previous maids heard that Gilbert had been dismissed a while after he left the mansion for medical treatment. However, they were more than just doing things around themselves in the mansion now. They have been personally caring for me since I was in the castle, encouraging and worried about me, and now take care of my beloved daughter like my own child.

Waiting for Teresa to prepare a new cup of tea, Marianne looks up once. He sews busy intervals while sitting on a chair that does not involve any strain on his body, and hangs his eyebrows over the visitor.

"I'm sorry, Rosa. I'm sorry, Master Albert. Even though both of you came to see me....."

“What are you talking about, Maria? I'm so happy to see the lovely Stella and Maria. Hey Albert, I remember when Pride and Tiara were little. Ever since then, they've been really cute and cute."

"Never mind, good Marianne. As you can see, my wife is still in a good mood."

Albert stares at Rosa, who sits on a superior sofa for guests and breaks her cheeks beyond her imagination in the castle, rather than staring at her, and returns it with a movement of his hand.

It is difficult for two royalty to open the castle. Other than interacting with the royalty of other countries, we make sure that one of them remains in the castle in view of the emergency. Today, however, was a day when I could free up valuable time to go out.

I couldn't bring my daughters and sons to visit, but now that Marianne is too heavy to visit the castle, I'm only happy that we can share time together.

And my daughter Stella, who as soon as the customer wore it, showed a sudden carelessness to her mother, who was always with her, was still old enough to look like an adult. Stella is also nostalgic for her mother and her father's friends Rosa and Albert, but her parents are still the best.

"Stella. Shall I read it next? You can sit on your lap for as long as you have patience with your mother."

"I'm getting on!".

Pompon and his wife slapped their knees lightly to reduce the burden on them, and invited their daughter. Stella's eyes glowed and she moved around the place.

If a busy father minds me, I can't miss it. Now I have a younger brother in my stomach, so I can't put it on my mother's lap, but my father also loved it.

He climbed up from his father's lap with a smile on his face, and along the way Jillvell hugged him. At that moment, he gets angry and says, "Don't act like a baby in front of Mr. Albert."

Thinking that Marianne was not the one who scolded her, but that she was similar to Albert and Steyl, Gilbert apologized with a troubled eyebrow, “That's right.” My daughter, who already knows how to use her body by stretching her limbs, is a fine young lady.

Relaxing on his father's lap, he opens the picture book that his mother had just read to him. My daughter used to skip from the first page and start from the last few pages, but she is now firmly starting from the first page.

"Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful princess. That princess is alone on the tower, and there's no such thing as a friend....."

Gently read her favorite book as her daughter asks.

Even though they had called it over and over again, Rosa and Albert quietly looked at Stella, who was excited to see her face shining when she got to the top. Marianne, who receives Teresa's new tea and cup, continues to look at the scene with a smashed face.

Every day I used to spend alone in the corner of my house is now filled with lies. I'm sure you won't believe me if I tell you about my happiness at the time.

"...... if the sun goes down a bit more, why don't you go to that hill for the last time?"

Everyone agreed to Marianne's suggestion as she watched the sunset as it began to set.

We don't even know the pride of a secret place that only our family and friends and husbands know. Everyone in the people can walk, but there are many who know the value, and the unknown hills are important places for them.

One day, Marianne would like to hold the child in her stomach with both arms and show her thoughts in her chest as she moves away from the mansion to the hill.

All the happiness that surrounded me was satisfied today as it was yesterday.
