The plain and unnoticed me is no more

What is it? I can feel it already in this situation.

When he left the room, Villem the Servant was waiting in the hallway, but His Highness somehow sent him first to the carriage. The butler and maid who tried to escort her with me didn't have to come, and they were headed to the front door.

"Ah...."

When I realized what I had sensed, my voice suddenly came out. I press my mouth with my hands.

"What's going on?

His Highness Wilfred ran his eyes around with something, and he looked at me as if nothing was wrong.

"No, I'm sorry. Nothing."

When His Highness Wilfred, who named Fred, came home last night, he was asked to escort him to the gate.

At that time, the flow of leaving Singh behind in the hallway and being alone was very similar.

Does His Highness always do this when he wants to be with someone? I felt the fear of unconsciously developing my usual habits.

I'm suddenly worried that I didn't react the same way I did when I was a general. You probably think you look alike from the beginning. The difference is the skill and character of cooking, but this difference is quite significant.

But I think we should try not to get involved with Lord Wilfred until we get back to the inn.

"By the way, Elaine, I need to ask you a few questions...."

Yes, what is it?

Turning his face towards His Highness, he looked slightly below my face as he walked side-by-side.

No way, the blouse buttons flew in the impact of the hug just now?

In fact, when I changed this morning, I felt a little tight around my chest. I hurriedly turned down and held my chest down to see if there was a button on it.

"Are you still in touch with Maria Calvani?

"... Maria?

Why are you talking about Maria now? If you just want to know that, you don't have to pay for it.

"No, I met him by chance when I went shopping, but that's all I had."

"Well, it's true that we met....."

"Hello... did you ask Maria where I am?

"It's only natural to ask someone who might have information."

……

Maria has transferred to school and is now attending the same school as His Highness. Then they seem close, and it's easy to ask about me.

But His Highness knew nothing.

In other words, Maria didn't break her mouth when Her Majesty asked her.

I don't know... that might make Maria's position worse.

"... but she only told me that Elaine looked very happy. I told you many times the other day to tell me where you met to solve the case that's happening, but I still didn't answer."

"Your Highness, I asked you to keep Maria quiet. You didn't tell me the details to keep your promise to me. Please don't feel bad for her....!

When I made a desperate request, His Highness, who had a steep face until then, chuckled.

"You prioritize your friends over me as a prince... your friendship is harder than I thought. This is how I saw you safe, and I don't care what Maria Calvani was hiding."

Thank you, Your Highness.

Oh, I want to thank Maria. I can't wait for the party.

She kept her promise to me until she made Her Highness mistrust her. It was only natural that I should not come to the inn if I considered the possibility of being monitored for my actions.

I was ashamed that Maria didn't come to see me without knowing anything.

She is much wiser than me and a woman worthy of being a princess. I wonder why Lord Wilfred didn't choose Maria as his partner in the night club.

I understand that His Majesty is still young and healthy, so there is no need to rush into marriage, but it is decided that it would be better to engage in the position of Prince Wang.

Do you think His Highness doesn't want to get married politically...?

The story is famous that His Majesty welcomed Leila, who was a lover at the time, as a side room shortly after her political marriage. His Highness, who grew up looking at his mother, may have something to think about.

Well, that's not what I'm worried about.

I remembered myself as the opponent of a political marriage without any hope, and my chest hurt.

With that in mind, I realize that His Majesty's gaze is pouring around my chest again.

"Elaine, uh... well..."

His Majesty suddenly lost his temper and repeatedly turned to my face and chest to ask me if there was anything else.

When I checked earlier, the button on the blouse hasn't flew yet. Then what do you care?

"Is that black stone in fashion now?

"Black stone...? Oh, you mean this pendant? This is what Alford's great-grandmother looked like."

"Alford's...?

"Yes, I've had it for decades since I left my great-grandmother's hand, but I've been using it as an amulet recently because I've been destined to return to my hand. I don't know if this stone is popular, but would you like to give it to someone?

"No, I was wearing similar acquaintances, so I just wondered if it was popular. I see, it wasn't a gift from a man...."

I couldn't hear you whispering like a solitary voice in the second half, but when it comes to wearing obsidian stones with your lord's acquaintance, Hubert? But I think it's popular, so there are many others.

Well, even if I wear it all the time, it just seems fashionable.

"No, Elaine!

"Ha, yes!?

His Highness Wilfred suddenly called my name out loud. I blinked in surprise.

I'd like to talk to you, but aren't you leaving today?

His Royal Highness, who walked slowly from the upstairs living room to the entrance and probably had time for conversation, finally stopped at the entrance hall.

I didn't see anyone until I came here if I thought something was wrong. Apparently the servants are reading the air and hiding. There is a strange sense of tension in the entrance hall, which is too quiet due to extra care.

"You're... someone right now... that's..."
