"Is there somewhere Cecilia wants to go?"
Gilbert asked me that a while after he started walking.
Isn't there someplace Gil wanted to go?
“Nothing, I was just going out with Cecilia today.”
Oh, that's right!
The voice of Cecilia, full of enthusiasm for Gilbert's errands, groaned. At the same time, I feel strangely that this is a date. It's not uncommon to go out with Gilbert. Sometimes when I was at my parents' house, they went out together, and I have had people hang out with me on my own business many times.
Even though what I was doing didn't change, I just had a date, and my chest got weird.
"It felt like your Highness was hurting me." I have to do my best, too. "
Running away?
"I didn't think you two were going on a trip."
"SO, SOUDESNE..."
Cecilia lowered her gaze in an apologetic tone. I'm sorry to have worried you, but I have nothing to apologize to Gilbert for going on the trip. However, it was also somehow a feeling of guilt that raised my chest.
Nortlach, did you have a good time?
Huh?
I was surprised because Gilbert's voice was softer than I thought. Even though he would have had a tingling atmosphere for a while, his atmosphere is more or less calm nowadays.
Before he could question Gilbert's expression, he gave a bitter smile.
"You haven't listened to the souvenirs yet, have you?" I went pretty far, and I wish Cecilia had enjoyed it. "
"Yeah, it was fun!"
Gilbert narrowed his eyes as Cecilia answered.
The two of them go straight into the café.
Then I had a late lunch and told them about my trip.
It was an hour after they left the café, and then they went around the grocery store and chocolatory that Cecilia cared about, and ended up looking at the flowers that decorated the room.
Cecilia holds a box of chocolate she bought as a souvenir for Leanne, infusing her with a smile.
"Do you remember when I was at my parents' house?"
Is that so?
"Yeah! We used to go out together like this."
Cecilia closes her eyes to immerse herself in memories.
Since recalling her previous life, Cecilia has not had the opportunity to make friends of her generation, and has been basically with Gilbert everywhere she goes. No, to be precise, Cecilia tried to go out on her own, but it may be true that her family and Gilbert didn't forgive her.
Ah! Speaking of which, when you were such a little girl, Gil, you were attacked by a wild dog, right?
Ah, there it is.
Remembering what happened at the time, Gilbert lowered his eyes in distress.
That was when Cecilia was seven and Gilbert was six. I had a new bakery when I asked my father to drive me to a shop not far from the mansion.
In those days, rather than Gilbert following him himself, there were aspects of Cecilia planning to spend more time as a family and taking him around, and Gilbert was not as enthusiastic as he seemed......
"While my father and mother were away, a wild dog came and even responded to Hans."
The dog slipped past the soldiers and flew over Gilbert's bag of bread.
Cecilia helped me then, didn't she?
"Hmm. But I didn't feel like I helped."
All Cecilia did was take Gilbert's bag of bread and throw it. It was clear that the dog was aiming for bread, so Cecilia moved to protect him.
You must have remembered that time, she sighed, holding a box of chocolates.
"But back then, it was still like I was protecting Gil." I wonder when it turned upside down. "
You can't help it if you say that.
Gil doesn't understand this emptiness!
When I pointed my lips, a conversation with Oscar suddenly resurfaced in my head.
It was a horse-drawn carriage when I went to Nortlach.
But, you're a little overprotective, aren't you? To Gilbert.
Is that so?
Because Gilbert wins the situation that he might be in danger and his position on the balance, isn't that right?
Is that so? I'm not sure about it myself.... or rather, Gil said, "I have to protect you! I think!" In fact, it's pathetic that it's only being protected. "
Yes, I've always wanted to protect Gilbert.
Ever since I witnessed his inexperience in the game.
After his reincarnation, he was confronted with his unhappiness.
Cecilia always wanted to protect him.
I don't think Oscar wants to protect you.
Instead, there is a sense of security that you can keep your back.
I was very anxious to go to Nortrach, but I was really relieved to know that he was with me. It made me feel better.
I'm sure no one else would have felt safe until now if they had told me that they were going together.
That's why I had to use my maid's clothes to charge into Janice's room.....
(I was so scared at first.)
It is truly strange.
