One day about a month after that event.
Again, a letter was sent to Richt. But the next sender doesn't seem to be your father.
"Who was that letter from...?
Though I asked him that, Richt is as silent as he was last time, wrinkling between his brows.
"... you came to talk to me a little while ago, didn't you?
"Yeah."
"That's when I said no once. But the other lady's name was Gisele Campbell, and she said she really wanted to see me and wouldn't give up. Well... that's why I got a letter from the Marquis of Campbell to the effect that I want you to meet my daughter for once."
"Oh well..."
I recall being strangled by Richt for saying something extra before, only hammering him so he wouldn't get mad.
"The only thing I love is Ceres. I have no desire to marry a woman other than you."
……
That's what they say in the face, stuck in words.
As always, Richter seems to really want to welcome me as his wife or companion, but that's impossible no matter how I scratch my feet.
Even if I accepted his feelings, the Roseblade people wouldn't allow it.
Besides, even if Richt keeps turning down the fringe like this, any of them will be forced to marry him...
No way, are you willing to take me running down (on the surface) but...?
Although the parents in this world are common sense people with a warm personality and understanding, I think they would be saddened if they found out that their sons and daughters were in that relationship on the boulder.
No, instead of my parents, I'm sure they'll annoy some relatives. If I suck, my uncle may fall asleep.
Staring at Richt's face as he thought about it, he opened his mouth again with a serious face.
"This is what I've said in my previous life… I'm prepared to throw everything away for you. Even if it's going to grieve a lot of people, if it's going to betray them, I'll always choose you. If you'll stay by my side, I don't care how you accuse me from around here, and I'll take all the sins and punishments. So..."
Licht, speaking so far, reached out to my cheek and tried to touch it as it was.
But I can't forget what happened that day, and I'm still pulling my tail, and I'm reflexively stretched out. Seeing my reaction, Richt looked sad and stationary, but quickly pulled his hand in.
He's him, and he seems to be pulling back on what I refused to do with all my might that day.
"Ah... sorry... do..."
Apologizing, Richt looked down lonely and left the leftover room saying, "I'm going out." I thought you'd be in my room all day because it's a holiday, but I wonder if you have any business.
Nevertheless...... is the continuation of what I just said still something like "let's run off insulated from my parents" or something?
In the end, Richt didn't come home until late at night.
In bed, Richt gently entered the room and stroked my head gently and left. When I realized it and checked the clock, it was already crossing the day. This would mean that he has been out somewhere since around noon. Where the hell were you going?
Afterwards, for some reason, Richt's return time was slow. I usually come straight home saying, "Because I wanted to see Celeste's face soon," but things are so weird. I used to go and see Nate before I knew it, and it's kind of heartbreaking...
◆
Then about a week later, I received another letter to Richt.
I was wondering if this was just another letter from Marquis Campbell. - Oh, my God, it was from Miss Giselle herself. Apparently, she's quite obsessed with Richt.
Richt, who confirmed the sender of the letter, is even more grumpy than last time and looks like he chewed up a bitter bug.
"Now what did it say...?
"'I'm not convinced. I really want to see him and talk to him." I have no choice, so next time I go out to the other house and say no directly. But... "
……
"I'm not the only one going. Ceres, you too."
"Huh...? How come to me...?
"Just follow me."
To me confused, Richt just said, "I want you to follow me" without explaining why.
