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

With the exchange of letters between His Royal Highness Marion and Lady Sophie taking place, there were fewer opportunities for me and her to talk to each other after school than in the beginning.

Because Master Sophie and His Royal Highness Prince Wang have been spending time here lately after school.

If I try to listen to His Royal Highness Prince Wang without talking about himself all the time, he will have an increased chance of spending more time with nature.

Since the rumor that you are seeing Mr. Rosetta has ceased to be heard at all, did His Royal Highness Prince Wang begin to think it was a bad idea as it is?

I miss the chance to talk to you less, but I'm just happy to see Master Sophie happy.

And for the first time in a long time I thought that Master Sophie had invited me after school.

I'm glad I can talk to you, but is there something you want to talk about? and I ride her invitation and sit back on the bench with Master Sophie in an unpopular place.

"Long time no see. He was also home yesterday with His Royal Highness Prince Wang, did you play the story?

"Huh?... Yep"

I'm supposed to be positive, but Master Sophie doesn't seem very happy.

Is something wrong?

"You know," she said as she tried to make it hard to say, thinking about asking why.

"Does Mr. Amelia like insects?

"Yes?"

I couldn't help but notice a strange voice.

'Cause if all of a sudden people ask me if I like insects, I'd be surprised.

But why would Master Sophie want to know that? Is there a reason?

Though I knew it wasn't a joke or a public story because Master Sophie had such a serious look on his face.

Not if you're thinking about it. I have to answer what they asked me.

"I don't hate it. The territory is rural, so I've been watching insects a lot for a long time, and I don't mind touching them, but that doesn't mean I like them."

"Yes, you do..."

Phew, and Master Sophie, who exhaled, stares far away.

"Um, what happened to whether or not you suddenly liked insects? Is something wrong?

"Oh, no. Coincidentally, the conversation between the male students who are thriving on insect stories is in my ear, and I just wondered if all the men would like it. So, I don't like insects, so I just asked her what other women were like."

"Oh, was that the situation? All of a sudden, I was surprised they talked about insects."

"Yes, that was abrupt indeed. I'm sorry."

Lady Sophie is uncommonly upset that she doesn't think she should have cut the subject out.

It was sudden, but I didn't have to be that upset because they didn't ask me about other people's bad words or what I had difficulty saying.

Nevertheless, I can't believe we still have boys students thriving on insect stories.

I know if you're from a rural territory...... Still childish.

It would be something you graduate from as a child.

"It's a little childish to talk about insects, isn't it?"

"Right......! I think you're childish!

Lady Sophie, who has embarked on herself, has nodded to my words many times.

What the hell is wrong with you? Lady Sophie is not well today.

"I'm relieved I'm not the only one."

Master Sophie is stroking her breasts down in a ho.

I don't know what you're comfortable with.

I guess I was glad I got that much agreement.

"Oh, yeah. The boys also told me that they liked sweets. He likes laces, frills, etc."

"Sweet stuff, is something that even men like. Because my father is also a sweetheart. But lacing and frills are... unusual."

I don't mean to ignore other people's tastes and preferences, and although I don't have the right to say it, I think it would be unusual to apply it from the average man.

Talking to a woman sounds right. Though it would be interesting to have a man with those hobbies.

"... that's the normal feeling."

Master Sophie, exhaled, lowered her eyes softly.

What's really wrong with me when I look depressed? I think.

I wonder if the discouraging conversation between the boys was shocking.

I'm not supposed to be the one to be overjoyed by stories about people other than His Royal Highness the King.

"Also, maybe you like racing and frills when it comes to men in general, but are you thinking about the public and hiding them? Even if Mr. Amelia is royal, do you think she is? You think you like racing and frills, regardless of your identity?

Did you say you were royal now, Master Sophie?

I wonder if all the men do when I hear the boys talking. Is that why you thought His Royal Highness Prince Wang would do the same?

Then I'm worried. It's inconceivable that His Royal Highness the Manly King would be interested in racing and frills.

Wouldn't you be more interested in a sword or something?

"Uh, I don't know because I'm not a man, but at least I've never seen a man who likes lace or frills. If you're hiding it, you can't tell."

You think it's wrong to ask me if I wasn't actively trying to engage with people.

That's what I think you should ask all your other friends.

I don't know about romance novels, but I'm useless when it comes to real life people.

"If Master Sophie listened to the conversation between the boys and thought His Royal Highness Prince Wang was the same, I don't think you need to worry about that. His Royal Highness Prince Wang is more adult and firmer than men his age."

Master Sophie was only freaked out for a moment by my words, and she looked away at me casually.

Apparently, His Royal Highness really thought so, too.

She is moving her body in a restless manner.

"It's not...! Not a word that His Highness Craig is! It's just that I am."

"I know you. If you seem anxious, why don't you ask Master Rufus? I think it's easier to ask Rufus, the same man, than me."

"Le, to Rufus? I don't think asking her would change anything. Because."

That said, Master Sophie shuts her mouth.

It seems like there might be some kind of situation, but it would be just as bad to hear more about it.

"Then trust Sophie's eyes, who is seeing His Royal Highness Prince Wang up close. Because I think what you see in your eyes is true."

"What I see is the truth"

"Yes, Master Sophie has spoken well with His Royal Highness Prince Wang. You must be listening to His Royal Highness Prince Wang, so Sophie knows exactly who he is."

"... that's why I'm in trouble."

The potpourring words only came into my ear in fragments.

"Um, Master Sophie."

"Listen to me, thank you, Amelia. I'm gonna think about it a little bit more, including me."

Master Sophie, who blocked the conversation, stood up as she stood, then said, and walked away.

I was left with nothing but to lean my neck on what was happening now.
