The Timid Count’s Daughter Doesn’t Wish for Quarrel
And then the story.
As soon as Master Rufus' engagement was announced, I was in the spotlight of the students throughout the college.
I'm fortunate it didn't make that much noise because it was almost at the same time that His Royal Highness Prince Wang renounced his inheritance rights and it was announced that His Highness Marion had become Prince Wang.
But since Master Rufus is a popular one from the ladies, as I predicted you wouldn't see him favorably, he's looking at me hatefully, or he's saying "why such a plain kid" when he passes by.
It's true that it's plain, so it won't hurt me any more now, and I can put up with it if they just say so.
Because I'm no longer a weakling who laughs and cries. I didn't do anything wrong, so I just want to be grand.
Besides, because of Mr. Rosetta's case, they don't complain about her being called in for fear of being disposed of.
It's my engagement to the Marquis Barnett family, so I was prepared for you all to be intrigued, and I thought time would fix it.
But sooner than I thought, you all lost interest in me.
Why you're no longer interested in me. That's because rumors began to spread that His Royal Highness Marion and Lady Sophie, who became Prince Wang, would be engaged.
Originally, the engagement with His Highness Marion was lifted as a condition for dissolving his engagement with His Highness Craig.
I was convinced when she told me that Sophie was allowed to dissolve her engagement because it would not change her becoming Princess Wang.
One day, as I spoke with Master Sophie in the courtyard of the College, His Highness Marion came.
"Hey, Sophie."
"Good day, Your Highness Marion"
After I greeted him, too, I lowered my head modestly so as not to disturb him.
"It's unusual to call from Sophie. What's the matter with you?
"Yeah, I just wanted to make sure."
"What is confirmation?
It's about you, Jane Doe.
His Highness Marion's expression is strong as soon as possible.
Who are you, maybe in a letter? I wonder if Sophie knows who the sender is.
Is that why you summoned His Highness Marion?
"... of, what do you mean?
"Oh, how can you be so upset? Do you have any idea?
"No..."
"Then I'll tell you from my mouth.... I was exchanging letters, is your opponent His Highness Marion?
Wow, they found out... I can't tell if I'm angry from Master Sophie's expression.
I'm sure Master Sophie is convinced because I've heard about it in the questionable system, but I've kept it in my mouth.
I guess I'll be pissed off too if I keep my mouth shut about this.
"When His Highness Marion came to Count Reston's territory on a long summer vacation, His Highness told me a story that could only be with you without a name. So I wondered if you, nobody, were His Highness Marion. I've deliberately talked about a story I've only had with you without a name a few times since, and it's all answered. So I was convinced."
Hey! Your Highness Marion, it's too far-fetched!
Oh, I don't think Master Sophie's eyes are laughing.
Are you mad at me? You're angry, aren't you?
"I don't know what reason you have, but it just caught my eye to keep you close to Her Royal Highness Marion while he was hiding something."
"Sorry!"
His Highness Marion, bent ninety degrees down, bows his head to Master Sophie.
In a hurry I, too, bowed my head toward Master Sophie.
"I'm sorry!
"Oh, why would Amelia apologize, too?... Oh, yeah. You knew the letter was addressed to His Highness Marion."
"Yes, I knew you."
"I know who Amelia is. Must have been forced by His Royal Highness Marion, right? Something that cannot disobey life from the royal family. It's not your fault. Besides, I'm not mad."
Huh? You're not mad? You were lying to me?
"It's true that I was inspired by that letter. I was happy to have a new friend. I'm surprised they were His Royal Highness Marion, but I'm not angry."
"Sophie......"
"So, Your Highness Marion. Rumor has it you're close to me, are you sure? Does Your Highness have any thoughts? Isn't that what the letter said? If it meant me and my engagement, etc., wouldn't Your Highness be in trouble? They'll make a mistake, won't they? Besides, I don't have to get engaged, so please don't hesitate to tell me."
..................... Your Highness Marion! You're pulling your own leg!
Here, expose them all! Look, I'll fix it all if I tell you that the person I like is Master Sophie.
I just read the air and didn't put it in my mouth, but I saw the face of His Highness Marion with his face up, jizzy, say it! I remembered.
Just in case, Her Highness Marion nods gently open his mouth.
"Actually, my favorite person in the letter is Sophie."
"... Huh!? Me!?"
"Yes. I've always liked Sophie since I was a kid. But I gave up when I decided to get engaged to my brother. So even if it gets rumored that you're close to Sophie, I don't have any trouble at all. But I have to apologize to you."
No way, Prince Wang, it wasn't, are you going to tell me you were cooperating with His Highness Craig and Mr. Rosetta?
Wouldn't Master Sophie be just as angry if I asked? Are you all right?
"I was working with my brother to create an alibi so that my brother and Miss Rosetta could be alone. That narrowed the distance between them. I had a stupid wish to get Sophie."
Master Sophie is stunned.
If possible, shouldn't that have kept quiet until death? I thought, did you calm down a bit, Master Sophie, yes, I shrugged.
"I don't think you can be mad at me. I think it's a story. Whether they broke the arrangement between the two houses or cut off the edge, they think they've done something they can't help."
"If it's about engagement, if I'm the one your Highness Marion likes, I won't say no, and I won't cut the edge."
"Are you sure? He's the kind of guy who's been fucking around in the back, right?
"I don't care if Her Royal Highness Marion didn't cooperate, I think those two were in love. I just thought it was getting a little quicker. Without that, I wouldn't have noticed what was wrong with me and would have been more distant from His Highness Craig. Above all, I wouldn't have gotten close to Mr. Amelia. So you don't have to blame yourself that much, do you?
What a sweet word......!
It's the ideal look for a perfect warrant lady. I fall in love.
His Royal Highness Marion seemed to do the same, and he had his fever-caged eyes pointed at Master Sophie.
"Did you know? I am very fulfilled every day right now. I'm having a great time talking about my favorite romantic novel with a friend I can forgive. My world has expanded so much that I can see things I've never seen before. It's a life I never thought of when I was only seeing His Highness Craig. Perhaps it is in some ways in the grace of His Highness Marion that we can live these full days."
"... Sophie is kind, after all."
"There is no such thing as gentleness. She's the kind of woman who thinks about harassing Mr. Rosetta out of jealousy."
"But you didn't, did you?
"It's all thanks to Amelia. If she hadn't been here, I'd be scared. Because she reached out to me, and that's why my world has expanded. Amelia colored my world."
With a loving face, Master Sophie will stare at me, but it's daunting!
I was just suggesting that I refer to a romance novel.
It was Master Sophie's will that changed.
"Right. Miss Amelia is a strange girl. He was working with my brother, and he stopped me."
"Oh, did Mr. Amelia do that?
"Yeah, that's how I knew how stupid I was."
Stop it! Don't turn your warm eyes on me!
"Wouldn't you like to talk about me now! Come on, keep going!
We're talking about you two now!
You should talk to me that way, rather than me!
"Oh, you've derailed the story.... Anyway, I am not going to turn down my engagement story with His Highness Marion. I am very glad that you have thought of me for a long time. Because I want to live up to His Highness Marion's feelings. Please tell me about His Highness Marion. We want to build trust together by sharing His Highness's pain and spiciness."
"Right. Let's face it without hiding, so that we can share not only spiciness and suffering, but also fun. You don't have to love me. Let's build trust and support each other to protect our country."
Staring at each other and laughing at each other is a hell of a picture.
If I were a painter, I'd want to make it a single picture.
When I was in love with the beautiful two of you, I could hear you screaming from behind.
"From midday on, what are you doing in the college courtyard? I'm embarrassed to be watching you."
This voice is Rufus.
Because of him, you two have missed your faces. The corner, even though it had a good vibe.
With my mouth pointed, I look back and stare at Master Rufus with my jito eyes.
"No, because. You don't want to see your sister like that."
"That's right..."
I know you don't want to go on and see what kind of scenes your body is flirting with.
Because it's the emotion I often have when I see your father and mother every day.
But thinking that it was a good vibe... I noticed that Master Rufus looked at me jizzily.
"Um, something?
"I just thought I hadn't seen my face straight from the front in a long time"
Speaking of which, since I got engaged, I couldn't see Rufus' face properly.
I haven't seen Rufus' face in a really long time because I've always been out of my sight when we had a conversation.
When I realize it, I get embarrassed, and I turn my gaze down.
"I'm looking down again. What, you don't like my face?
"No! We think you look very, very cute!
"Praised, but not at all happy......!
"I'm praising you!?
I'm not convinced you're mad at me for complimenting you...!
"You know what? Because you're not cute to a guy or a compliment or anything! Because I'm going to be taller, lower my voice, and maybe hotter than I am now!
"Oh, that's troubling!
When I accidentally raised my face, Master Rufus, with his eyes open, entered my eyes.
"Are you in trouble?
"... I'm in trouble"
"Why?"
Why? Well, that's it.
"It's because I, Mr. Rufus...
Speaking in a vanishing voice, Master Rufus solidified.
"... you like it? Did I just say I like it?
"Please don't tell me again and again!
"I've never heard of you before, so you have no choice!
Is that it? Was it?
When I looked back from the time my engagement story came out, I realized that I had certainly not said it.
I didn't get a chance to tell you because I got my story together so quickly. And because I totally thought I said it.
Besides, I couldn't see my face, and I wasn't talking about that.
No way, I can't believe my first confession is this...
More, I should have thought of a place! I can't believe I confess to such a selling word like a buying word......!
"Say something like that quickly! I've always thought of you as my only thought!
"Sorry!
"Don't apologize!
"Sorry!
They told me not to apologize, but I apologized.
When I was awash, I heard laughing with pleasure.
"You two are really close."
"I've never seen Rufus look like that before."
Shit! There was His Highness Marion and Master Sophie!
I can't believe you two were watching the pitiful first confession.
"Mr. Amelia. Nice to meet you about my brother. He's a very good kid, though he's a little mean and evil."
"We'll get in the way, so it's time to go. Bye. Miss Amelia, Rufus."
After greeting His Highness Marion and Lady Sophie returned to the school building.
"My sister always says extra things."
"Don't say that. Isn't that what you think of Rufus?"
"... I know. I was just a little embarrassed. And this."
Ha, and sighed, Master Rufus offers me the little box he had in his hand.
"I was looking for it to give to you."
"Thank you"
I received a small box and I unwrap it carefully.
When I opened the box, there were simple garnet earrings inside.
"Give me this? It's not even my birthday, but it's bad to take it."
"For once...... because I'm engaged. I just thought it would be a memorial. I thought Amelia hated it when it was too flashy, so I made it a simple one."
"I'm glad. But I didn't give you anything..."
"Well, then, I just got it."
What do you mean? I didn't give you anything.
"You just told me you liked me."
"I told you, I was just wondering if that would be a gift"
"I was so happy, don't worry! More than that, you like it?
"Yeah. Of course. Master Rufus gave it to me, naturally."
As he grinned at the gift from Master Rufus, he was stuck in words and deliberately missed his gaze from me.
"What's wrong?
"It's nothing, don't touch it. More than that, why don't you put some earrings on it? Because I want to see what it feels like."
"Ha."
At the behest of Rufus, who feels somewhat off topic, but nothing else.
I tried to put the earrings on my hand, on my ear, but it doesn't work inside because I don't have a mirror.
When I'm busy, did you see Rufus take the earrings from my hand and touch my earlobes?
My heart is beating about May flies because they have finally approached me.
Get it over with! I wish, but I don't feel my earlobes pinched inside.
"Um, Master Rufus"
"Don't talk to me because I'm going crazy at hand. I don't know why I wanted to put it on."
"Still on my own"
"Fine! I'll do it!
Yes. Okay.
When I was making out without talking, I felt my earlobes pinched after a while and the earrings were safely attached.
"Yeah. After all, it looks good"
I am thrilled at Master Rufus' face, who smiled gently.
At the same time, I thanked myself for my good fortune in becoming the fiancée of such a person.
I'm sure there will be a lot going on, but with Master Rufus, we can get over it.
If this is the case, I don't see any struggle as a struggle.
"… I, Lady Rufus, am happy to be engaged"
"What are you suddenly going to say!
Rufus, who dyed his cheeks, is rude but still adorable.
I laughed furiously at him. Look at me, I knew he swelled his cheeks but wasn't serious and angry.
The peaceful atmosphere is flowing on the spot.
I can't believe you're getting engaged to Master Rufus.
I feel a little strange considering I started by offering Dear Sophie a handkerchief.
But without that action, I wouldn't have been here right now.
I guess you were just peeking at people's complexions trying to make them grow up so they wouldn't be too noticeable now.
Acting and getting along with Master Sophie, I met Rufus and His Highness Marion and my life changed dramatically.
It's changed in a good direction.
I still can't feel confident, but I still wanted to move forward because Master Rufus in front of me pushed me on the back.
You're right, Sophie. When you were timid and you wanted to avoid rubbing, the world was different.
With just a little courage, the world changes so much.
Now, I want to live without being ashamed of myself, that's what I think.
So, I'm like me, I'm going to live from this.
