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

That day I had been invited with my mother to a tea party hosted by her friend.

Several other groups of mothers and daughters were invited, but what a Rosetta!

Much like her, her gentle, tender mother was talking to my mother's friend.

What a coincidence. I can't believe your friend's friend was Mr. Rosetta's mother.

I didn't see how Chirali and Mr. Rosetta were enjoying the tea party.

I feel kind of depressed. Even though there are no warrants here for bullying her at the academy...

That's probably all it's hard to be bullied by the top noble ladies in the college all the time.

That's what happens when you say you have a lot of allies, right?

"Good day, Mr. Rosetta"

When I spoke to Mr. Rosetta, who was looking down, she raised her face like a hack.

Confirmed me, she's surprised with her eyes open.

If you were thinking and suddenly talked to me, you'd be surprised.

Good afternoon, Amelia.

"I'm sorry I surprised you. But I'm surprised to see you here."

"Yes. I was surprised, too. Amelia's mother and the Viscount were friends."

It's an amazing coincidence, Rosetta is smiling, but there's something fishy about it.

"Um, after that, how about Master Sophie? Wouldn't that really hurt you? Before, Sophie said she didn't care, but she just couldn't believe her words."

"From what I've seen, you're not hurt. Lately, I've been having a blast with Miranda and Jane about romantic novels."

"In a romantic novel, is it? Even Master Sophie reads romance novels, right? It's a little surprising. But I'm relieved to hear you're feeling well."

"So you don't have to worry about Mr. Rosetta that much. Master Sophie is looking forward."

When I told Mr Rosetta that it was okay not to feel so responsible, she exhaled as if she were in awe.

"Besides, Master Sophie hopes that His Royal Highness Prince Wang and Mr. Rosetta will do well."

"Really!?

Even though I said I couldn't believe it, Mr. Rosetta's eyes get bigger.

Well, that's right. If it comes from the discontinued engagement of the two of you, it would be a reaction, wouldn't it?

"Aren't you mad at me for breaking your promise and talking to His Highness Craig?

"There are some parts of that that I can't help. Only His Royal Highness Prince Wang or His Royal Highness Marion can be stopped, and not sheltered, than the lady of the upper nobility is out there. Mostly, I'm not talking to you from Mr. Rosetta. More than that, is Mr. Rosetta okay? Isn't it hard?

Though I don't think we should talk about bullying away from college, Mr. Rosetta seemed serious, so I kept my mouth shut.

With her cuddly mouth tied, she looks down.

"There's someone to help me, so it's not that hard. Besides, I can't make amends for what I did."

"That's it, Mr. Rosetta, I think you feel more responsible than you need to be. If that means atonement, isn't it done with punishment for Baron Bailey? If the royal family and the Marquis Burnett did well, I think Mr. Rosetta has already made amends."

"But nothing against me."

"It doesn't mean anything, does it? 'Cause Rosetta, you know..."

That's what makes you a civilian, so you're in trouble, right? It's hard to say.

Mr. Rosetta laughs bitterly at me for guessing what I'm trying to say.

"Yeah. You'll be a civilian when my father dies. But that's still ahead of us. I have respite, because I have time to figure out how to shake myself. That's why I don't think this is punishment."

"What does that mean?

"The Baron Bailey family is more like a wealthy civilian than a nobleman. I was educated as a nobleman, but the values are somewhat closer to the civilian population, so I think even if I became a civilian, I could live without feeling so uncomfortable."

But I think there are some things you can take because you're noble.

"You've ruined Master Sophie's happiness, and you think it can't be good for a sin like this. Master Sophie is kind, so she didn't blame me, and she took refuge. So does His Highness Craig. Please protect me, even though I'm in a difficult position. What I did, even though it sucks...... Besides, Master Sophie is counting on you to support me and His Highness Craig. Maybe that's why I shouldn't take His Highness Craig's hand"

Why are we talking about not taking His Royal Highness Prince Wang's hand?

The engagement has been dissolved, and Master Sophie supports you both. I suppose you've been punished for Mr. Rosetta, and dating His Royal Highness Prince Wang after that won't be as problematic as before, with all the confusion?

Well, I think dating the woman who caused the dissolution of the engagement is a bad idea.

"Um, as far as you can see, I had the impression that His Royal Highness Prince Wang felt the same way before. Mr. Rosetta likes His Royal Highness Prince Wang, doesn't she? If it's both thoughts, the world isn't good, but we don't have fiancées with each other, so it's okay?

"…… I don't know if it's really a good thing to be tied to His Highness Craig"

Ms. Rosetta feels terribly responsible for the dissolution of the engagement of Lady Sophie and Her Royal Highness Prince Wang.

I don't think she's the only reason this happened.

"Is that how you bother with Master Sophie? Then I'm sure you won't hesitate."

"I have that feeling, but I also have an identity with His Highness Craig, and I thought it would be good if I closed that person's future. His Royal Highness Craig asked me to take my hand and stay on his side until he died, saying that it was my chosen path."

Huh? His Royal Highness Prince Wang already confessed to Mr. Rosetta!?

Unlike me, who is surprised, she looks so serious.

"I thought I was happy with the offer. Hopefully, it made me feel disproportionate wanting to take that one's hand. But I know it's too stupid to let myself be temporarily emotional. I don't want to be happy until I make someone unhappy."

Somehow, Mr. Rosetta is serious, too, isn't she?

If you think about your position and history, I don't think you can force yourself to think like her, but maybe you feel a little too responsible.

"I think it's best to be honest with your feelings, don't you? Somehow, they had an arrangement between the royal family and the Barnett Marquis, because it would fit in circles. If you think you can be happy with His Royal Highness Prince Wang, I think it would be a good idea to take His Highness's hand. Why don't we discuss this carefully with His Royal Highness Prince Wang first?

"Isn't Mr. Amelia the opposite? You said you respected Master Sophie, didn't you? Then you don't like me taking His Royal Highness the King's hand."

"I don't like it and I don't have the right to think about it"

At first, I thought, hey... but now that's not happening.

Above all, Master Sophie blew it off and it's a thing of the past.

The person said it was good enough, but I didn't mean it anyway.

I also found out that she was a serious woman with too much responsibility without a backdrop when dealing with Rosetta.

Even if you were bullied in college to make amends, you endured it, didn't you? It's better now.

Something I wonder if I should be bullying both the royal family and the Barnett Marquis to end it, just as if it were justice.

That's why I wanted her to do her best.

"Aren't you already punished? All that's left is what Mr. Rosetta will do. I'm here for you."

"... why are you so kind to say that?

Mr. Rosetta's adorable face was crunchy and distorted, and large tears spilled from his eyes.

What shall we do! I made you cry!

I didn't mean to make you cry, but what am I gonna do!

When I'm ataffected, Mr. Rosetta is taking out the handkerchief and wiping his eyes.

"I'm the bad girl who took His Highness Craig from Master Sophie..."

"Oh, already! Please don't!

To Mr. Rosetta, who is too aggressor conscious, I have finally broken my paralysis.

"May I? Master Sophie said she had no more feelings for His Royal Highness Prince Wang. I also said I accept apologies. Where you have taken His Royal Highness Prince Wang's hand, Master Sophie will not be hurt. Please stop worrying about this because of Master Sophie. Rather, you are more rude to Sophie. It's up to you to apologize, but listen to me for a moment."

After I ran out of words, I calmed down and held my head to my own rudeness.

I said something about Rosetta.

Self-loathing that it was thoughtless behavior, Pocan and Mr. Rosetta, who opened his mouth, looked at me in a stunned manner.

"You've said something extra. Sorry, sir."

"... no, no. Amelia is right. I have always felt sorry for Master Sophie, that I should not be with Her Highness Craig until I hurt her, and that is all I thought. But that was very rude of you to Master Sophie for forgiving me... I find it pitiful that you don't realize if you don't tell me this far. Thank you for making me realize I was just drunk on the heroine of the tragedy."

Mr. Rosetta, whose tears have stopped, is bowing his head to me deeply.

I hesitate to look at it.

"Please stop! Please raise your head. I'm the one who said something extra."

"No. You just pointed out my thoughts"

Rosetta, with her face up, had a slight grin, unlike how depressed she had been earlier.

"For once, I'm going to talk to His Highness Craig properly. On top of that, I'll decide if I want to take that one's hand. Thank you."

Again, Mr. Rosetta, with his head down, laughed nicely, walking away from me.

Something I thought I'd lost my word about, apparently, did it for her.

... I really need to do something about this personality, although I'm glad it looks like it could go in a good direction.

We have to weigh ourselves in moving with our emotions.

I thought so, looking behind Mr. Rosetta.

Without even knowing that someone would have watched that with cold eyes.
