Sticking to Arnold's back, Leechee managed to open her mouth.

“Too much greed”

Then Arnold smiles mockingly.

"I'm not talking about you to the people who forced you to marry me."

That's how he thinks about this marriage, after all.

It protests with the feeling that the puppy is roaring, not disobedient.

"... it was definitely my intention to accept this marriage at the end of the day"

But Arnold doesn't understand."That's not true," said a gentle hand, gently stroking Leeche's head.

"I had you there, even if you didn't nod."

Trapped in her arms, Leechee listened.

"No matter what means are used."... no matter how much you refuse. "

"...... ah"

He leaned on his eyebrows and tried to get away from Arnold.

But you can't forgive me for that.Arnold leaned sideways onto the bed, holding Leechee in his arms.

The two of them were in a lying position, and their arms were loosened a little.

Leechee raised her face and looked up at Arnold.

"... the quarrel between the couple continues"

Huh?

I don't know what happened to Lord Arnold.

Arnold laughed tinyly as he told her that he was full of disobedience.

"As much as you want."

Her fingers combed the horizontal hair hanging on Leeche's cheeks as if it were hanging from her ears.

Tickling herself, she was told in an astonishing voice.

"I'll hang out with you as long as you want."

……

After all, you can't even have a real fight.

Even though I can't help it because I'm dissatisfied, I can't say anything if I can point my gentle eye at it anywhere.

"But you have to close your eyes."

After being hugged again, I was stroked on my back.

"I'm sorry I woke you up.... we'll continue the fight with the couple tomorrow. "

……

I don't think that's what a couple quarrel is.

However, without letting it out of my mouth, I stuck to my remorse and closed my eyes.

It is very difficult for a good couple to quarrel.

While feeling that way, Leechee fell back to sleep as she wondered how Arnold could tell.



The next morning, when Leechee woke up, Arnold was not in the room.

……

Leechee, sitting on the bed, vaguely blinks as she sees it.

I got off the bed and dressed for about twice as long as usual.

After changing the dress, you can look at the side table, where you can find a few papers.

I've been asking Arnold for a record of the money exchange office.

Leechee takes it in her hand, looks through her eyes, and exhales with a small breath.

(I have to thank Lord Arnold.....)

Thinking like that, a knock echoed in the room.

I'm sure there's only one other person who knows that Leechee and Arnold are using this room.As soon as I opened the door, Oliver stood there.

Good morning, Mr. Leechee.

Oliver-sama, if you were Lord Arnold, you'd already be out of your room...

"Yes, actually, you kicked me out of my office."

Oliver smiled refreshingly as he tilted his neck in wonder.

“It's a common occurrence when you want to concentrate on your own and do your official business.If there are signs of others, it will make me feel annoyed. ”

Well...

"It's so shabby, I wish I could help you, Mr. Leechee."Is there anything I can help you with when I can't get a maid? "

Leechee was sleeping with Arnold because she was afraid of ghosts.

I don't want to be noticed by the maids, so I'm sure Oliver cares about them because he keeps his secret about being in this room.

Leechee suddenly remembered, even though she tried not to.

Well then, Mr. Oliver, if you'd be so kind as to help us move the cargo.

The dresses and bags that Harriet tried on last night were piled up in the costume room for the time being.

I want to take the dress to the washroom for light washing.It's quite heavy, so the man is very helpful.

"I'll be glad to give you an order.Breakfast is also being prepared. ”

“Thank you, please.”

I left the room with Oliver and went down to the costume room on the first floor.

Along the way, I heard a light footstep.

"Leechee-sama...!"

"What's the matter, Elsie?"

Else, coming up from downstairs, found Leechee and looked like she was about to cry.

"Ah, I'm sorry to bother you so early in the morning.I want to report it to Master Leechee...!! "

"You look pale. It's okay, just take it easy."

She rushed up to Else, who was breathing shallowly halfway down the stairs, and gently urged her.

Elsie was breathing on her shoulder as she offered the sack she was holding to Leechee.It's a small bag that can be wrapped with her small hands.

“In the costume room, I was sorting out yesterday's bags.I-If that's the case, find this.... "

"This is..."

The sack is loosely corded and can be seen from the open mouth.

Leechee unexpectedly winked at the shine.

"Galkhain gold coin...?"

The gold in the bag is a gold coin with an eagle design.

And in the middle of the sack is an embroidered chapter of the Fabulous Nation.I don't think anyone would think this belongs to Leechee.

(Why is this stuff in my bag......)

In Leeche, the situation was instantly sorted out.

This is definitely Harriet's.Probably the Galkhain gold coin that was held by King Fabrania.

The timing of Leechee's bag must have been Harriet's room yesterday.

The question is, how did this end up in the bag?

(Did you stumble into it because you rushed out of the room?... impossible.)

I put the bags together on a couch in the room.It's hard to believe that Harriet was throwing a bag full of gold.

"Elsa, can you remember which bag this bag was in?"

"Yes. The handle is in a thin chain, red..."

I swayed my memories of last night and painted Harriet's room on my head.

The red bag should have been placed in the center of the bench, alongside the other bags.

(... at that time)

The Fabranian Female Knights arrived and Leechee was to leave the room immediately.

At that time, it was Harriet, not Elsie, who put together the bag in the center of the couch.

(Harriet put a bag of gold in my bag......)

I realized that and felt ashamed of my immaturity.

I couldn't keep an eye on Harriet, alert to the movement of the knights.However, even if Harriet finds out what she did, the reason remains incomprehensible.

"What should I do, Mr. Leechee..."

Elsie, blue and faded, speaks out about something that might be of concern to her.

"It seems that Harriet has misinterpreted me as stealing the gold...!"

……

If that happens, it will undoubtedly develop into a serious international problem.

"--Mr. Leechee"

Oliver, who had been sitting still until now, called Leechee out of her usual smile.

Could you please tell us more about it?

"... Mr. Oliver"

Oliver, who was normally gentle, wore a tense air.

The atmosphere is quiet and murderous.Oliver is told that he was cut off from the knight's path ten years ago by an injury, but he must have been a really good swordsman before the injury.

Everything I've told Oliver goes into Arnold's ear.That is why we must choose our words carefully.

When he lowered his gaze, Leechee fainted.

(...... No way)

I opened the sack and took a gold coin that looked brand new.

The carved surface of the Galkhain National Chapter shone like a mirror.

(This is why Harriet-sama took actions that made me and Else suspect...)

Leechee's eyes reflected there were looking at Leechee herself.

(Mr. Harriet)

What came to my mind was information from the exchange office that Arnold had inspected.In light of what happened in my past life, I came to one conclusion.

(--That's why you were executed in the future.)

Leechee exhales briefly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Oliver."

And I looked up straight at Oliver.

“We'll talk about the situation later.But first, I want to ask you something. "
