The plain and unnoticed me is no more

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Fred. Fried meal set from and egg grilled."

"Thank you. It looks delicious."

The maid who brought the dishes put a tray of set meals on the table and took something out of the lower level of the shelf behind the room and pulled the chair next to me and put a wrap on it.

"I'll give this back to you before I forget."

Hmm?

When I saw it, it was a cold stone package that I accidentally forgot about at the stone shop.

"Oh, that's right. I thought I forgot something... I'm sorry, General, you brought it. It was heavy, wasn't it?

"No, Sin gave it to me, it's okay."

"Really... Ah, yes, the package is supposed to arrive here for me. It's heavy. Can you leave it outside?

"Yes, if you'd like to go outside, that's fine. Well, I have a little more work to do, so I'll be back for a while. Please take your time."

That's all the maid said, smiled lightly and left the room.

I can't help it because I still have work to do, but I am worried that I will work too much on a day like this, which was in danger.

Yeah, I'm behaving like a gentleman, but I'm not okay... Seems like you're busy trying to distract yourself.

I drank a sip of hot miso soup and took a breath.

Ah... this dish heals your body and mind.

Because of the extra story I heard from Gerald at the end of the hearing, I felt that the frustration and restlessness that I couldn't say anything could be relieved by the air and cooking here.

That's just Gerald's speculation. It doesn't matter.

I don't know if it's true that Fredrick really liked Lana. No... rather, I was engaged, so that's fine... What did I get upset about?

She said she didn't hear it from the person herself, and first of all, she has never heard of such a story. He got engaged to Lana, as recommended by his uncle. He must have been cut off from political marriage, but the reason he was decent before Sandra showed up was because he tried to be a man for Lana?

I hate to say this, but it's true that the two I saw at the party over a year ago seemed to be doing pretty well, and Frederick thought he was a perfect man as Prince Wang.

It's pathetic whether the woman you're dating is good or bad.

Ah, shit... even though it's over, that day's emotions came back from the reality that Lana wasn't by herself, but her brother...

I remember Gerald's story as I pushed him to death with a tingling, sad feeling and eating the sweet egg grill made by the general.

"Why does Sandra hate Elaine so much? There will be no reason to hate him enough to want him dead. What more do you want from the Duchess for stealing the prince?

Gerald answered my question with an unbelievable smile.

"Until Sandra spread the rumor, maybe His Highness Frederick liked Elaine. I still don't like it."

"That rumor?

"Ah, I'll tell you all about it, but Sandra told me that she was surrounded by junior nobles, including me. Elaine and Evan are definitely deeply involved. She saw the two of them taking eye contact and said that they came with a pin because of the air. Well, I exaggerated that and told someone else...."

"Yeah, I know."

"Back then, His Highness, who had heard rumors, reacted more than Sandra thought. If I didn't think anything about Elaine, I wouldn't be so angry. Besides, I don't suppose Lord Frederick has always liked Elaine's friendship with Evan. Since Sandra enrolled in school, she started giving her a little tease and tried to make Elaine burn the yakitori... but Elaine didn't notice at all."

Lana said she hated accepting the engagement. Of course not.

"His Highness, who heard my rumors in the meantime, suddenly felt his fever for Elaine cooled down. He seemed to have hidden his preference for Elaine from the surroundings, and even though it did not seem to have changed much on the surface, he might have turned into the opposite feeling in His Highness. Cute and a hundred times more hateful... Still, from a woman's point of view, it seemed like there was still work to be done. I still hear Sandra's stupidity from time to time, but Her Majesty said she didn't like to talk ill of Elaine, and sometimes she looked at her with her own eyes."

What the hell is that? So what's the point of not punishing Evan? You think I don't want people to see me jealous?

"Then why did you add Evan to your entourage? I hate you, don't I? That would be weird."

"Thanks to that rumor, Evan became extremely distant from Elaine, and he knew how serious he was and put him under his control. Well, this is my prediction, but if I were close to myself, I would have no intention of betraying you."

"You've been watching."

"Haha... I've been watching humans all my life because I'm being bullied and I don't have any friends. But thanks to Sandra, who made fun of me, the environment has changed. She was humble that it wasn't herself, but I saw them talking to me and I was convinced. It may be a selfish personality, but there are a lot of good things about it..."

Even though Gerald was being used by Sandra, he still seemed to be grateful for saving me from bullying.

Even good human observation, Sandra's eyes were cloudy and she couldn't make a proper decision.

As far as this guy's concerned, if Fredrick finds out everything was a lie, how do you feel about Lana? If you think about what you did to her, you won't be able to chase her around anymore... but that's him. Can't you be so optimistic?

Sounds like Frederick's looking for Lana. The person is apologizing, but when I heard Gerald's story, I didn't know the truth.

But little by little, I saw the whole thing.

Maybe he changed his attitude toward Sandra because Lana had feelings for him. Evan is reportedly investigating Sandra's behavior, but I hear that the raid that triggered Sandra's announcement of fiancée was her own act.

Of course, he will have received the report.

I don't care what happens to Frederick, but I wonder how he's going to make amends if he sees Lana.

And when I finished my meal silently and tried to take the dishes to the kitchen, the maid came back in good time.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Fred. Ah, I'll clean it up, so please sit down. I'm going to make some tea now."

"Wait, did the General finish dinner?

"No, from now on. Why is that?

"... what? You're doing better than I thought."

Earlier I thought it was just the air, but I saw it in my eyes. No matter how well you handled it in public, you can't play it until your eyes shine. The general's eyes were sparkling and did not appear to be impossible.

You look weak and unexpectedly tough.

"Fufu, are you worried? I'll be fine. After all, Fred kept me safe. In addition, I felt very calm when I touched the warmth of the locals. So many people have come together to encourage me. You're going to be fine."

That's what the maid said, she smiled and gave me tea. I was made to eagle by her unexpected strength and her unforgettable smile.

If she were a noble daughter... No, don't think about it.

This is how she can shine because she's free to do whatever she wants.

After preparing the tea, the maid went to the door with a tray and stopped and looked back on the spot.

"Um... do you mind if I... eat? I'll be right there. You wanted to hear from me."

"Oh, of course, I don't mind. Then I'll go back to my room for a while...."

"No, please stay put. I'll be right back, so please have some tea. I can't get much information from you anyway. Ah... Shall I call Sin and Taki?

I didn't hear from Taki directly, but I didn't think I'd listen to Sin again.

"... I see. Should we listen to everyone? Please."

"I see. Well then, I'll bring you both."

After the General took out the tray, I was relieved or disappointed that I was no longer alone with her in this room. At that moment, the tension resolved at once, and I left my back on the back of the chair and relaxed.

"Ha... stupid... I..."

At times like this, you're nervous because you're unconscious. I'm not here to play. I'm sure the victim of the incident is here to talk to you about the situation.

How pathetic. When I'm with the general, I go crazy for some reason.

I was able to see it unexpectedly. I was so upset with such a smile that even at this age, when it comes to love, it's not much different from when I was a kid.

I don't want to admit it, but I'm starting to get attracted to the General.

If you only think secretly like this, will you be forgiven...? Now I wonder if my feelings for Lana were like an extension of my childhood friendship. No, maybe it was close to monopoly.

Ten years away is too long.

In the meantime, from the stories I heard about her, I wonder if she just created an ideal woman named Lana in her head and fell in love with her.

But this feeling right now is only occasional for the opposite sex.

Did Frederick feel this way about Sandra? I can only say that I'm really stupid to have all my brothers and fall in love with someone I can't reach.

After this, the three people who had finished eating in about fifteen minutes answered my question very well.

When I heard a specific story from the general and was told what the situation was like when Gerald arrived, the three men sank darkly, wondering how scared she felt.

Gerald seems to have deceived Lana's friend, Maria Calvani, but she didn't mention it during the investigation, whether she had forgotten or not.

The man seemed to know very well who Lana would forgive.

Countess Maria Calvani... we must do something about it as soon as possible.
