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

Yeah, I'll see you around.

At the end of my gaze, the junior classmates and the ladies are reluctantly speaking to Master Rufus.

After a while, the ladies dropped their shoulders and left as soon as he told them something.

Since the announcement of Rufus' engagement, I have often seen such occasions.

If it's just the ladies, aren't you asking if the engagement's true because the family isn't matched? I thought so.

But oddly enough, when the men speak to Master Rufus in the same way and exchange two or three words, they drop their shoulders and leave.

When he is not only a lady, but also a son, he wonders what he is being asked.

After the engagement was announced, I and Rufus became a one-off person, although I couldn't listen to the details because I couldn't calm down and have a conversation with the students.

Or the lady who asks me all sorts of things keeps coming, and I can't get close to Master Rufus inside.

"I thought if I got engaged, I'd spend more time with Master Rufus, but you don't"

As much as I said such stupidity, I was feeling lonely.

Besides, I am also disturbed by the fact that there are many beautiful young ladies around Mr. Rufus.

Aren't you getting tired of me not having any particular characteristics? I don't have as much time to spend with you as I can think of.

Although it is only a matter of inviting people to the Mansion instead of the College, if you just want to meet them, it is not easy.

Since the announcement of the engagement, the Tea Party invitation was coming to Count Reston's house without a pull.

I don't think turning down those invitations and meeting with him is a very, but praised action given what's to come.

Also, the Marquis Barnett family has not only our engagement, but also the engagement stories of Sophie and the others, so I can easily imagine that that's not the ratio.

"Like before, I'd like to talk to Rufus again..."

Sometimes I couldn't take it lightly on other nobles, and I thought it would remain this way until I calmed down.

But the opportunity to talk to Rufus came unexpectedly earlier than I expected.

Our engagement story was still showing excitement in the college, but it was around the time when the Tea Party invitation that was coming without a pull was finally calming down.

In a letter I was asked by Master Rufus to visit the Marquis of Burnett.

There was no reason at all to say no, so I will go with joy and courage and instant answer! And I replied.

I think it's simple for me to just receive a letter from him.

But it's been a long time since I've been able to talk to him.

I set the date by letter, and I set clothes with my mother and servant, and I counted my fingers and waited for the day.

And the day I picked you up.

Dressed to the fullest, I arrived at the Marquis Barnett house feeling uncontrollable in my bouncing heart.

After greeting the Marquises of Burnett, who welcomed me, I was led to Rufus' waiting garden.

I was in the garden. He narrowed his eyes gladly when he found me.

I haven't seen him close in a long time. He looks so radiant, and that only fills my chest.

If I was in love with Bo, I would be coughed up deliberately, and I panicked and thanked him.

"Good day...!

Sadly, my voice has turned away.

I'm sure Master Rufus can't even say hello properly.

As I was no longer being able to see his face properly due to embarrassment, I could hear him sneaking and laughing.

Looking strangely at him, he is shivering his shoulders with one hand on his mouth.

"............... it's better if you hold your stomach and laugh"

"I didn't mean to laugh, but they just poked me into the impression because it wasn't like Amelia's reaction I had imagined"

You don't look sorry at all.

But thanks to Master Rufus' unchanging attitude, I may have been able to regain some calm.

Not really, I need to be careful not to be hated for saying weird things.

I secretly decided on my mind that I would touch my cheeks and fix my expression.

Lady Rufus, who saw me like that, loosened her expression even happier, though she did not know why.

"I've seen your face in college, but it's been a while since I've talked to you"

"Right. There was a lot going on at the academy and at the mansion, and I couldn't easily talk to you inside. But does the fact that you invited me mean that the Marquis Burnett family also dropped a paragraph?

"Sort of. Even so, my mother and sister still seem busy."

"Of the royal family, that is also likely to determine the engagement with His Royal Highness Prince Wang, so even more so, right?"

"I'm glad the story spread in the same period, as far as I'm concerned. This is how I can meet Amelia."

... Mr. Rufus is somewhat more honest today than usual.

For that matter, I'm thrilled.

I don't have a heart when I think of it like this every time, so I'd like it to be small.

"So, you feel sorry for Master Sophie. I think we need to spend more time with His Highness Marion."

"There, isn't His Highness Marion going to do something about it?... by the way"

With that said, Master Rufus slowly approached me when he came to the truth.

"Aren't you glad to see me when you say you've met your fiancée and you care about your sister?

"No, no! Oh no! I'm so glad! I'm so happy! Looking forward to seeing you!

"Heh, heh. That's right..."

My reply seems to have bothered me, and Master Rufus is blushing his cheeks just a little.

All of a sudden I thought about it. Soon I spoke the truth, but it seemed to turn out to be the right thing to do.

I stroke my breasts down in a ho.

Then, looking around somewhat, I noticed that a variety of treats were arranged on a beautifully set table.

You noticed my gaze, Master Rufus distorts his expression a little reluctantly.

"... my mother made me cook when she knew Amelia was coming."

"Is the Marquise Barnett for me!?... I can't believe you got that far."

"My mother likes Amelia more than I thought."

"I'm glad you're feeling, but I'm sure it's because something happened ten years ago."

It's plain. I was laughing at what, crying and watching him escape, so maybe I'm sympathetic.

But Master Rufus shook his head at my words.

"My mother was trying to mud the name of the Marquis Burnett, because she's grateful to Amelia for stopping her sister."

"That's for Master Sophie, and most importantly, only because I didn't want to see Master Sophie like that."

"Whatever the hang-up is, because it's true that the house turned out not to lose money. Besides, it seems to have made a good impression that I didn't do anything to amuse the house. Well, what if it means a triumph of abnegation and you're sweet?

"... it's an extra honor."

Speaking of which, when I said hello earlier, I also held my hand and said, "Please Rufus...! You said."

The Marquis Burnett was nodding next door too......

For Master Sophie! I didn't think what I was doing was going in the right direction later.

I can't believe you're going to find someone to marry as a result.

Life, there are things I don't understand, and I stare at Majesty and Rufus.

Then he wandered his gaze as soon as he could to see how restless he was.

Raising his unspoken voice, he looks to the table being set up.

"And, for now, why don't you sit in a chair? I want you to eat the sweets my mother put in."

As recommended, slightly more forcefully I was seated in a chair by Master Rufus.

"... Again, you really prepared a lot of things. They all look delicious. That's the Marquis Barnett cook."

I'm blinded by all the treats that spread in front of me.

With praise, Master Rufus is somewhat satisfied.

As that reaction soothes as it looks year-to-year, I choose the little strawberry tart that was closest to me and ask the servant who was nearby to take it.

I carried it to my mouth and peeled my eyes at its deliciousness.

The sweetness and sourness of the strawberries and the understated sweetness of the custard are exquisite. The quantity is also small, so they are likely to eat as much as they want.

Master Rufus looked at me like that with a smile on his cheek cane.

"I'm glad you like it.... By the way, hasn't anyone said anything to you since the engagement was announced? No one's gonna say anything extra? Are you hurt or not?

"Huh? To me?

What kind of treat should we make next? and I was suddenly drawn back to reality.

I could tell that he cared about me in the past with all sorts of worrying loofah-like expressions.

After all, he is a kind man of heart. You always put my feelings first.

That makes me happy and my cheeks loose naturally.

"It's okay. There's something about Mr. Rosetta, and no one comes to dislike her face and face. If so, they'll just ask if Rufus and I are still having a conversation."

This is really strange, but for some reason, you all want to know if your conversation with Rufus is playing.

Though you didn't even care because you thought I was just wondering what kind of conversation I was having when I was engaged to your superior nobleman's son.

But Master Rufus listens to me and looks somewhere horrible.

"I hope so.... By the way, I was just wondering, what is Amelia's answer to that?

"It goes on normally, I'm returning it. In fact, yes."

"So, that's what they're asking you to back off?

"Some of you will back off, and some of you will want to hear more about what conversation you are having. But if you're asking, you might be interested to know what you're talking about with the sons of the top noblemen."

I think anyone would like to hear more about it if they were close to someone blessed with a surprising good fortune.

Especially since I'm well known as a friend of Master Sophie's, and I guess it's easy to ask because I'm a median nobleman.

"... you just tried to make sure that Amelia was special to me. It stinks."

Master Rufus threw up, distorting his expression reluctantly.

I can see from the attitude that it is commonplace and uncaring.

I thought I was just asking out of curiosity, but he seemed to have a different perception.

They're not saying they don't like it, so you don't have to worry about it that way.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you're just interested in me being engaged to Master Rufus. I don't think there's anything to worry about. Besides, I think Master Rufus seems harder than me."

"What? Me?

Just because Master Rufus talked to me about it, I opened my mouth to ask what had bothered me for a while.

"Yes, because on several occasions I saw from a distance the scene where Master Rufus was being heard by his lady or son. Ladies and gentlemen, I was a little concerned about what they were talking about because I was feeling depressed by what Master Rufus had told me..."

I waited for Lord Rufus to say what I was freaked out about being told.

He raises his voice as to whether he ever thought of it as "oh" after a little thought.

"That was just asking if the engagement was what I wanted. It was all of a sudden, so there are people who suspect that there might be some kind of feeling between houses."

"That was definitely a sudden one. From me, it was the realization that Mr. Rufus and I became close in turn. But since we were talking out of sight, perhaps surprise came before satisfaction from those around us."

"I think I have that too...... I mean, there's no way you're gonna regret your engagement when you see me talking to the ladies, is there?

Huh? And I'll be true.

Where in the current story was there an element of regretting the engagement?

Yet Master Rufus seems in a bad mood, and he has stared at me as Giroli, who has no idea.

"I'm telling you, I don't have the dust to dissolve my engagement with Amelia no matter what. We finally got engaged, but there's no way you're choosing another guy."

"No, you know. That's not what I meant."

"So you don't regret your engagement to me?

"Oh, of course! There's no way I'm gonna regret this. Because no one is more than Master Rufus, and you're the only one I ever wanted to spend my life with!

I moved my mouth desperately trying to correct Master Rufus's mistake somehow.

But soon my body gets hot at once realizing what I said.

Though my head was white, I ran out of my mouth about something outrageous.

Between me in blue and Master Rufus blinking his eyes, a silent time often passes.

"... of now, really?

Master Rufus, who had gone back to sanity before me, asked at a glance.

I don't know what to say. I get wolfish and silent.

Trying to peek into my face like that, he exhaled, ha.

"Amelia has something to think about too much, so I was pretty sorry to see the ladies talking to me, but I was horrified to know she wasn't."

"Sure, there are beautiful ladies around Master Rufus, and I got tired and anxious to be let go, but I heard what you said earlier and disappeared"

"I knew I was thinking too much... You know, you realize I like Amelia more than Amelia thinks. I've been thinking about it for almost ten years, so it's not that easy to get your hands off me."

I can tell by the serious look on Master Rufus's face that it's not a lie.

My chest warmed up knowing I seemed to be loved more than I thought.

It is great to be in love, because my anxiety disappears with one of his words.

At the same time, I was pleased with his honesty in giving me the right words I wanted.

"Thank you. It's my first love, so I'm going to make an effort to keep being liked without being sweet about Rufus' feelings."

Master Rufus returns a soft smile to my words.

In a lovely sweet atmosphere I lay my own hands on nature and his hands.

I let my body stretch for a moment, he moves his hand and wraps my hand around it.

As time permits, we've been holding hands.
