The Noble Girl Living in Debt
Episode 26: Her Determination
Eric provided time to talk to Bernard after dinner. Agnes gratefully goes to the office.
I'm sorry to have you make time like this twice a day. However, Jizil recommended that "express your resolve sooner", so I decided to follow it.
Take me along to see Miel's growth.
"Cats are suddenly plump. I can't see them when I pick them up."
"Yes. I'm really fine."
The thin body has become a standard body, the half-opened eyes have healed completely, and it is now open beautifully. At present, the clear blue eyes are shining.
The curious kitten was struggling to get out of the basket. Agnes smiled with a soft smile and moved Miel to the bottom of the basket and covered her with cloth.
Miel, who had been squeaking up to now, becomes quiet and the room is wrapped in silence.
Bernard talked to Agnies, who felt a bit uncomfortable.
"--So what is the story?"
"I'm emigrating."
Agnes says with courage. She wants to keep her servants here.
Bernard heard that and frowned.
"Would you tell me why?"
"that is--"
I can't simply say I wanted to be with Bernard.
I thought about another reason and told me that my life here is right for me.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes"
Bernard asks Agnes with a harsh voice. Do you understand your problem?
Her blue eyes were turned down with a sad expression,
"I know myself well. My father acknowledged that he had sinned and the house fell down."
Bernard's position will be jeopardized if he reveals that he was supporting Agnes.
So he told me he was determined to get out of the house when ordered.
"Well, that opinion is both correct and incorrect."
"?"
The problems surrounding Agnes were very different from when she lived in the city.
Bernard asks if he is ready to hear it.
"What the heck is it?"
"To be honest, it's a bad story. I don't want to hear it.
I was scared just to hear the introduction.
However, Agnes decided to listen to the story, as she thought it would not be as shocking as the story she had just heard.
"Are you good?"
"Yes"
Agnes' eyes do not shake.
She is sitting in front of Bernard as a woman who is determined to be one of a kind, changing from being like a kitten on a rainy day.
"Okay, let's talk, but it will be longer-"
Ernesto Balteremon was searching for Agnes's whereabouts, the spread of notoriety in magazines, and the fake Agnes was caught and the notoriety cleared.
"The situation has changed and we're now treated as a saint."
I lost my words in the development going diagonally above the imagination.
And the fact that many of the people who live in the royal capital are looking for Agnes is terrifying.
It was a surprising story, but less shocking than the one Bernard recommended.
"So, what do you think?"
“Yes.
"I have said it many times, but it's annoying now."
"Yes, yes."
In the southwestern villages, the rumors of the royal capital are not perfect, but there are many rumors. Bernard said it would take some time to settle down.
"No matter where you are, you will struggle."
"I agree"
"Is it OK that my decision won't shake?"
"Yes. I want to work here."
"I see. If so, take measures."
"Is it a measure?"
"Specifically, it's disguise."
Make Bernard's proposal as inconspicuous as possible. If you are in the current state, you will be at a glance with Agnès.
"What the hell do you do ..."
"First, change your hairstyle. No servant organizes the hair so braided."
"Yes, yes."
Agnes responds to orders on the spot.
Pulled out all the pins inserted in the hair, and untied the string that held the hair together. Finally, remove the ribbon.
The gorgeous gold hair melted (approximately) and flowed from the shoulder to the chest.
Bernard will be terrified by the sequence.
It was the first time I saw a strange-aged woman dropping her hair and realized that it was only possible to see his wife.
I was angry that she was a ignorant young lady, such as unraveling her hair in front of a man other than her husband. But he himself ordered the hairstyle to change, and she only responded.
It was obvious who was bad.
"Master, what is that specific hairstyle ...?"
Listen to Agnes' voice and get back to me.
I did not notice the fact that I was fascinated by that figure, so I decided to give my hairstyle instructions.
"The hairstyle is that. Carol and Celia do it."
braid of pigtails.
Agnies braids her hair, as ordered.
"Is this OK?"
"..."
Glance at Agnes in pigtails, wrinkling between her eyebrows.
The hairstyle made her look a little young. Unfortunately, just giving up does not eliminate the atmosphere of a noble daughter.
"Well, if you wear a new dress, you'll manage ..."
I heard from Eric that tomorrow I received the arrangement I had ordered.
It is a sober dress worn by an old woman in a department store's product catalogue.
I think that if you wear that, the good thing about Agnes will be irrevocable.
"Oh, that's fine
"Yes"
"after"
"Yes?"
Be advised not to drop your hair in front of the other sex.
When Agnes heard that, she remembered the common sense that she had learned in her young lady days and turned her face red.
"Sorry, too"
"Be careful"
"Yes"
Agnes, who was told to go down, bows deeply and leaves the room with Miel.
In a room alone, Bernard sighed deep and big.
◇◇◇
The next day.
Bernard reported to Lazare of the migration of Agnes.
"I see. Did you end up?"
"Yes, leaving a place I'm used to seems painful."
"That's right. I understand. It's going to be hard, but I'll help you if you have any problems."
"Thank you"
I thought that the story was over and stopped it.
Lazar heard with a very serious face.
"Isn't Orlerian going to take Miss Agnes?"
"……Yes?"
"I'm asking if I'm not going to be my wife."
"Why such a thing"
"No, I think it's better to get married if you keep it that way."
"I do not get married"
"If so, do you keep her at home all the time?"
"that is--"
I am not in a state of thinking about Agnes' future.
We say that marriage is not all about happiness, but we also need a place to relax.
"We have several male employees-"
Speak so far, frown your eyebrows.
I couldn't describe my feelings, but I shook my head to get rid of it.
Bernard looks complicated, but Lazar does not look at it and moves on to the next topic.
"Speaking of marriage, you must listen to Orrelian's tastes."
Many knights get married after being introduced by the captain of their unit.
It was very important to obtain such personal information in order to find a woman who was compatible with the squad.
"... Isn't it early?"
"No, it's not too early or too late to keep an eye out."
That's why Bernard thinks about her ideal woman.
"... Is a woman with big breasts good?"
"No, not really"
"There is no commitment"
"I agree"
Write down Lazar in your notebook.
"Would a beautiful woman be good?"
"No, such a woman costs maintenance."
"Don't call maintenance ..."
Lazar, who knows Bernard's home environment, decides that it is reasonable.
"You don't have to be a noble woman"
"Yes. I don't care about that."
"So what is your personality?"
"... I'm not good at talking women."
"Do you like a quiet girl?"
"Well, that's right."
"aside from that?"
"I don't know what women are thinking at all, so I'd like someone who can express her opinions."
"got it"
Lazar listens in detail about Bernard's favorite woman.
In summary, she was a quiet and modest woman who spoke clearly and did not complain about a simple life.
"Unfortunately, Orlerian"
"What'll we do?"
"There aren't many such old-fashioned women."
"... on the left."
I wanted to do my best and look for it in my heart.
