The Timid Count’s Daughter Doesn’t Wish for Quarrel

Uh-huh. Thus, I sat down next to Master Sophie, but what can I tell you?

I feel different talking from me...

What am I going to do? I thought, Master Sophie, who rinsed his nose, started talking to you, you know.

"I've never seen your face like that before, Lord Craig."

"Huh? But does Master Sophie ever talk to His Royal Highness Prince Wang? The first time."

"No, it's my first time."

Master Sophie stares at the distance as she misses it.

"I thought I had been asked by His Highness Craig to be my fiancée from among the fiancée candidates earlier. But when I looked at what I was seeing, I understood that Lord Craig would never have liked me. I guess I was chosen just to be the right lady for the crown princess."

"... From what I've seen, His Royal Highness Prince Wang took care of Sophie."

"I thought so, too. But in retrospect, when we were alone, I'd never seen a smiling face or anything, and I'd always just spoken to her from me, and rarely from Her Royal Highness Craig. Perhaps what you were seeing was the presence of His Highness Craig, who will be my fiancée."

Oh no...... The two of you I see all the time looked friendly.

It's hard to believe.

Stuck in words, Master Sophie took a deep breath and held her eyes down with a handkerchief.

I can see she looks calm, but upset.

"... When I first asked you about Rosetta, I didn't think it was a big deal. There's a difference in stature, and I'm sure His Highness Craig thought you'd come back to me. Rosetta was only interested because of her different personality from the ladies around Her Highness Craig, and she believed that."

"... still, I'm sure it is"

"Really? You saw what His Highness Craig and Mr. Rosetta were talking about, didn't you? Did you really feel that way?

I was not able to affirm myself when asked, and I said so.

Lady Sophie, who laughed furiously, has a grinning but sad look on her face.

"Everything's different. My attitude toward me, toward everyone else, was clearly different. I found myself attracted to a simple, gentle, naive Rosetta. The warrant lady who acted like that has always been around His Highness Craig, but that one didn't even look... I'm sure that person figured out that he didn't lie. Maybe that's why I was attracted."

"But...... nevertheless, I believe that Master Sophie's integrity, seriousness and straightness are better than Mr. Rosetta's. Because I respect Sophie like that. I'm sure it's a lost cause. The fact that Lady Sophie is the fiancée of His Royal Highness Prince Wang is unshakeable."

"Thanks"

Though I say thank you, Master Sophie's expression remains unclear.

I don't want you to look like that, but I'm so itchy I can't even tell you what you can laugh at.

"I'm not as noble and serious as you think. I saw that scene earlier, and I wish Rosetta was gone."

"Dear Sophie..."

"I feel sorry for you while I tell you that I shouldn't say anything bad to you. But I still have dark feelings swirling in my mind. If we don't get rid of her, if we don't keep her away, we'll harass her or anything, so we want to stop Her Highness Craig."

"Yes, don't harass me!

Lady Sophie is turning her eyes round to my sudden shout.

"Sorry to surprise you......! But harassing me won't do it for Master Sophie. Please reconsider."

"... I know that, too. But if you don't, something that won't keep Mr. Rosetta away from His Highness Craig. That's the only way..."

I can't believe that Master Sophie thought this far...

It said in the novel that love drives people crazy, but it's true.

But if Master Sophie harasses Mr. Rosetta here, she could be ruined. Even the villain warrior lady of the enemy in the romance novel was doing the same thing and was doomed.

Reality would not do the same, but His Royal Highness Prince Wang would be angry, and his friendship would deteriorate rapidly. That's so irrevocable. If that were to happen, Master Sophie might be seen with white eyes from around her.

By and large, if Master Sophie says he's going to harass you, everyone around him is going to stick around. I might also get involved and be forced to harass Mr. Rosetta. I don't like that, and I don't want to. If I can avoid every dispute, I want to.

Well, if we get away from them at the time we start harassing Mr. Rosetta, we won't have to get involved and just watch in a safe place...

But that's betraying Master Sophie for reaching out to me, who didn't even know how to make friends. I don't want to do anything to avenge my gratitude.

When I was a child, from me aspiring to be the perfect courtier, Master Sophie was the very courtier I had dreamed of. So I admired it. I can't believe I can see the real thing up close......! And I was impressed.

I respect her kindly and nobly more than anyone else. Now I can't imagine leaving for protection.

To Master Sophie, I may only be one of those around me, but I don't like to see her ruined by admiration and admiration.

I don't want to see her laughed at and hurt with white eyes from people. I want you to laugh all the time.

I wish her happiness.

That's why I don't want you to take the stupid hand of harassing Mr. Rosetta.

Mostly, I don't want to see the perfect warrant lady I admire expose me to jealousy and ugliness, and that just results in her being hurt. I know I can't be happy, but I can't run away knowingly.

I thought so, and I looked up at Master Sophie with the gaze I had always lowered.

"But don't harass me......! There must be other ways!

"... So how can I be liked by His Highness Craig? How can you look at me? If you don't harass Mr. Rosetta, would you love me if I were as naive as she is? I can't help but tell you."

When I look at Master Sophie, who squeezes his hand and gives me an indelible look to endure something, I really feel frustrated with His Royal Highness Prince Wang.

Even though I love His Royal Highness Prince Wang, the person of the day smiles at other women without facing Master Sophie.

Her Royal Highness Prince Wang, who despises all her thoughts, has no eyes to see.

I want to make her smile, who is heartbroken by the betrayal of His Highness Prince Wang.

Besides, as it is, Master Sophie becomes like a villain's warrant in a romantic novel.

I start harassing Mr. Rosetta insanely with jealousy.

It's not for Master Sophie, it's just to make her unhappy.

There has to be another way to solve this...! And, I was wondering if there was any way that Master Sophie could be liked by His Royal Highness Prince Wang, and I was happy to recall the words that Master Sophie had just said.

"If you get naive like her,"

... Yes! You just have to be!

By changing from the previous Master Sophie, I can show His Royal Highness Prince Wang how wonderful a woman she is, and I wonder if His Highness will wake up regretting her foolish deeds?

If that were the case, I would suggest it quickly, and I opened my mouth with my own hand over her hand, which was firmly gripped.

"Dear Sophie! Show His Royal Highness Prince Wang that Master Sophie is a wonderful woman and let that person, who has eyes on other women, regret that you were wrong. In that case, His Royal Highness Prince Wang would like to return to Sophie."

"Regret...?... Well, I know your suggestion is ideal, but how?

Asked, I immediately thought of His Royal Highness the King's preferred woman.

Given that you are attracted to Mr. Rosetta, I'm pretty sure Her Royal Highness Prince Wang's preference for women is someone like her. Someone like the protagonist who comes to romance novels.

But if Master Sophie imitates Mr. Rosetta, I'm sure His Royal Highness Prince Wang won't even look forward to it.

So I want to maximize the goodness of Master Sophie, while increasing the fondness of His Royal Highness Prince Wang.

... Oh, yeah! Wouldn't it be nice to refer to the protagonist in the romance novel?

You might want to refer to your behavior, not your personality.

"Let's refer to the romance novel. Has Master Sophie ever read a romance novel?

"A romance novel? Although there are biographical and historical novels, there are no romantic novels. Something my mother didn't even put in the mansion because she wouldn't read those things."

"Then, for once, look through. I'm sure you'll learn, as it says what women do as His Royal Highness Prince Wang prefers"

Strongly put, Master Sophie's eyes regained the light whether it caught his interest.

"Fortunately, there are romantic novels in the library, and there are many in our house. Let's start by reading it and figure out how to act on it."

"But is it true that His Highness Craig will come back to me? 'Cause it's a romance novel, isn't it?

Especially Master Sophie.

There is no guarantee anywhere that His Royal Highness Prince Wang will come back after reading a romance novel and acting in the same way.

"But we won't solve it without acting on anything. I can't imagine what will happen to His Royal Highness Prince Wang and Mr. Rosetta in just a few days, and I think it's important to prepare for the bottom first."

If you haven't become a lover yet, I believe Master Sophie has a chance.

I don't know if this is the best course of action, but it's better than harassing Mr. Rosetta.

Most importantly, I don't want Master Sophie to imitate me like the villain lady of a lover, and I don't want to see it, which is what I mean.

"Prepare below…. Sure, though I understand that it can't be helped as it is now"

"I don't know if it's going to work, but I was wondering if it's going to be the least likely future"

As far as I'm concerned, you don't want Master Sophie to take the hand of harassing Mr. Rosetta.

I want her to be happy, which I respect.

Seeing her worried about what to do with my proposal, which I hadn't really taken much notice of, I decided to fold.

"I don't want Master Sophie to end up crying. For that, I can help you with anything."

"... will you give me a hand?

Lending a hand, or working with Master Sophie, means you are more likely to stand out.

But possibilities are possibilities. It shouldn't stand out if we're cooperating in the shadows.

Same as before, I thought so, snorted firmly.

"Yes, I will cooperate. So why don't you read the novel first? If you know that harassing Mr. Rosetta is something that Master Sophie shouldn't do, could you try some other way?

Lady Sophie, who was thinking into my words, set her mind or raised her face.

"... right. If that's even possible, I'd like to talk to you. But could it really work?

"I thought that depended on Master Sophie. But I don't think it's in vain. Showing a different side to His Royal Highness Prince Wang should change Sophie's impression so far."

Then, it seemed to be a convincing word in Master Sophie, making her look serious.

I was relieved that you were thinking positively.

"If you don't try anything, you won't know. Maybe you'll find something I shouldn't, maybe you can improve it."

"Just because it's a romantic novel doesn't mean it's insulting. Well, let's go to the library."

"Yes."

We set a target, and we headed to the library.
