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

On my way from Master Sophie's room to the front door, I was stopped by Master Rufus waiting in the hallway.

Apparently he wants to talk to me, follow me to the garden, and he tells me.

I couldn't even say no if my lord Rufus from the upper aristocracy told me, and I followed him dearly.

Lady Rufus looked back after walking for a while and coming to a place where no one was.

"You, what's the purpose?

"What does that mean?

"That's, uh... I'm still moaning if you don't ask, and I don't feel safe, or you want to be sure, or you want me to be different... Anyway! My lord Craig tells me you're working with my sister to make me like her, but it doesn't do you any good, but I'd like to know why."

"... ok. I just told you it's not beneficial, but it's beneficial to me, isn't it?

"You're not saying you're trying to sell favors to the Marquis Burnett, are you?

For some reason, Master Rufus looks at me anxiously.

Beautiful boys are so destructive.

... you wouldn't be! I'm working together for Master Sophie's happiness!

We need to properly deny that it's not to sell favors to the Marquis Burnett family.

"No. I don't think you understand, Master Sophie is my benefactor. Those who reached down to me who were alone and allowed me to be on my side. I respect you so kind, Sophie, and I've never thought about selling you any favors."

"... really?

Master Rufus asked me to be sure, and I nodded forcefully and again.

"We are not doing anything shallow like using Master Sophie!

"But that's it because you're a benefactor?

"I will! Because I want Master Sophie's happiness!

Strongly, when I said it out, I could see my shoulder strength falling out of Master Rufus.

Ha, and exhaled. He seemed largely calm and no longer had the same attitude as at first.

"Um, Master Rufus. I really don't use Master Sophie. Believe me."

"... I understand perfectly well in your current words that you respect your sister. I'm sorry I doubted you. I was a little relieved to know it wasn't. Oh, I'm relieved because I meant I was relieved that my sister wouldn't be the result of getting hurt, and I'm not relieved that you were using it!

"Yes. Master Rufus is your sister's thought, isn't he? I envy you because I'm your only child."

"That's not even what I'm talking about... Well, that's okay. By the way, aren't you thinking about your happiness?

"I'm a plain, mediocre woman, so inconspicuous things lead to happiness, so I'm happy now, right?

Master Rufus frowns in such a way that he doesn't know what it means.

Right. You know, from the cute guy, I'd think what he was talking about.

"... what's so plain and mediocre about you?

"Huh? It looks like it."

"Ha!? You didn't stare at each other at close range with me. You're not a mediocre woman! Ordinary women blush their cheeks, they look at me upwards!

"That just didn't upset me because then I knew beforehand. If it was unintentional, it would have happened. Besides, Rufus's face, which I saw at close range, was very pretty, wasn't it?

That's good work, what a thought.

And the praised Master Rufus was making his face red and his mouth pounding.

What kind of reaction is this? Did I say something unexpected?

"You didn't look like that! Is that what you really thought? You didn't see me as a man then."

"Sometimes Rufus was Sophie's brother, and sometimes people like me were tempted."

When I spoke, Master Rufus squatted on the spot.

I'm whispering and whining somewhat bumpy, but I can only hear my voice in fragments.

It sounds faint like you're upset or stupid.

"What's wrong?

Lady Rufus raised her face with tremendous momentum when she could no longer watch and I spoke.

With a slight tear in his eyes, he quickly rises up and approaches me.

"Um."

"This is all wolf talk, but when I see it flat, I feel like an idiot."

"What are you talking about?

"... Yea!

Along with her lovely voice, Lady Rufus suddenly shook my hand.

I look at the unexpected behavior with surprise.

It's surprisingly warm to feel the plumpness of a hand that isn't yours, Master Rufus' hand, how I thought.

"How's that!? Are you a little thrilled?

"Yes. Surprised"

"It's not thrilling over there! That was a surprise! Then don't get upset or blush your cheeks!

What an irrational thing...!

Honestly, I don't think I'd be ashamed of being held by someone who doesn't think anything of it.

Yeah, but the heroines in the romance novel were ashamed, weren't they?

Then maybe I'm disqualified as a woman.

"I'm sorry. It was a serious act as a lady."

"No, not as a lady. If you look at me as a man, you'll be happy, normal."

"Delighted...... No, I don't think people like me have feelings."

Don't inspire Master Rufus any more, I make him laugh vaguely and delude, as usual.

But you had a problem with his eclampsia, and he seemed increasingly grumpy.

Master Rufus, who took his hand off me, stares at this one jizzily.

"Well, stop being such a person as me. I get upset to hear it."

But it's true.

"Facts? What? Could someone have fooled you?

"Well, that's the way it is"

I can't tell Rufus exactly what happened in the past.

I don't want to scratch you without darkness.

"That's how they keep saying it, and you're looking down."

"No, it was one time I was told"

"Ha!? That in one go? Aren't you a little brittle? Mostly, if it was one time, didn't he just say it in a mean way? I really don't know how you can take it."

To the tight words I looked down.

I know. I also understand what Master Rufus is trying to say.

Something that I think would have ended up laughing with my nose as much as one person told me.

But almost everyone in that place was laughing at me. They laughed at me because they thought it was disproportionate to be objective.

As I raised my face to argue, I met Master Rufus with a serious face.

"I didn't think I was plain."

"Master Rufus?

"I don't know what happened, but I think it's silly to assume and hurt yourself and be frightened by the eyes around you. Don't you have the temper to give them back?

"I can't believe I'm paying you back... I can't do that."

Master Rufus said he didn't think of me as plain, but it's visible that he ends up laughing at me where he did.

Look at me how depressed I am, and maybe Master Rufus tried to encourage me.

If you don't care who they are, something you can't say so far.

I'm sure he's only kind enough to say it the way he is.

As his chest is warming, Master Rufus has a frightened look on his face.

"I'm really not sure about myself... So I thought I'd help my sister a lot."

My chest ached flaccid at the way I said I was disappointed.

I don't want to be disappointed any more by Master Rufus for clumsily encouraging me.

"When I wasn't sure, I wanted to help Master Sophie. Master Sophie wants you to laugh. So I wanted to help."

"You don't know if you're capable of acting or not. Besides, you're acting like you're dealing with your sister, at least you were alive. That's who you really are, isn't it? Then I hope you don't hide it from me."

"That was desperate to bring out Master Sophie's cuteness. And if you behave like that, they'll laugh at you."

"... no body"

Potty and muttered words were small and inaudible to my ears.

"What did you just say?

I didn't say anything.

Master Rufus turned away from me like he was in a panic.

Maybe he said something bad when I asked him. Then you should stop listening in depth, right?

"Well, I see what you're thinking, and that's enough."

"Really? Now, if you'll excuse me."

When I try to bow my head and walk away, Master Rufus calls me from behind.

"Someone's moving with another thought, so be careful."

"Huh?"

"I can't say who it is. Bye."

Tell him what concerns him, and Master Rufus will return to the mansion early enough.

I was left with no choice but to tilt my neck at the words I was told.
