"Lady Veronica, would you like to go out with me someday?"
''Oh, I would love to! When do you want to go out?"
"Let's make it soon . " Mikhail, who was chatting with Veronica, stared at Juvellian .
'Now, what would be her reaction . '
Strangely, Juvellian was only drinking tea peacefully without a care in the world)
'Why won't you look at me?'
Mikhail felt frustrated due to her indifferent behaviour .
'Why would she engage with those nobles . '
It made his dissatisfaction towards Juvellian rise .
"Oh and I have a suggestion . " When Rose spoke up, everyone at the tea party shifted their attention to her at once . It was nerve-wracking, Rose continued her speech with her cheeks dyed with a rosy color
"Well, I would like to invite Princess Floyen to be a new member of our tea tasting club . So I would like to ask the member's opinion on the matter . What do you think?" As soon as she finished speaking, two young noble girls chattered for a bit and said:
"Oh, I like it!''
''Me too!''
Both Ladies had a positive opinion towards Juvellian since she gave them the name of the
Seamstress's shop . Then the expression of Juvellian face which has been static, changed subtly .
"Ah, I am . . . . " Mikhail, who had been looking at the expression for quite some time, could infer her feelings, even if no one else knew it . Though she was embarrassed and shy, her face was full of joy . And it was the very face that Mikhail had so long wanted to see again .
Mikhail, who had been observing her expression for quite some time, could then figure how she was feeling, even if no one else knew of it .
'Why do you make such a face to those women, but not to me?'
It was when Mikhail, who was overwhelmed with dismay, stared blankly at Juvellian .
"I disagree!" At that moment, the faint smile on Juvellian's face disappeared .
Mikhail, who saw the change, felt the inner part of his chest tingling .
'It was always like that when I treated her coldly . '
Upon realizing that, Mikhail felt angry at Veronica, who threw a vote against him .
'Nothing special . '
Veronica noticed the scary gaze .
"I'm not unwillingly against it . . . . There are conditions to join our tasting party!" She says while keeping her composure . The members nodded their heads as to show they were agreeing of the remark .
"Well, that's undeniable . ''
"That's true . We did it when we first formed the group," Rose sighed and opened her mouth .
"Princess, actually, we have a condition to join . " Even to those words, Juvellian replied as if nothing was wrong .
"Oh, yes . If I don't qualify, I can't help it . You don't have to mind . " Those calm words struck Mikhail as if hinting at him of the past
Mikhail opened his mouth without thinking .
"You'd better listen to it first and then decide . " At Mikhail's words, Juvellian's eyes began to shake faintly . At that expression, Mikhail smiled with satisfaction .
I was so embarrassed that I glared at Mikhail .
'No, why does that human intervene in other people's affairs?'
Of course, I was excited when I received the meeting proposal . It was the first time in my life as Juvellian that a child of my age liked me . But I couldn't just bear with it when I was in a bad situation .
'Now I'm in a position where I need to behave correctly to avoid any dangerous outcome'
I waited for Rose to say something, she might have thought I'd reject the offer as soon as I heard it . At that time, I found something and inhaled .
'When did he come out ?'
I asked him to wait calmly, but I was shocked to see Max staring at me from the tree .
'If people here sees him, then my life is over . '
Max is now posing as my lover . If it is discovered that he was climbing a tree and peeping at the banquet, the nobles would surely tell me :
For a moment there I saw my life ending before my eyes .
"Dear Princess, did you just hear me?" I nodded to Rose's question .
"Of course . "
"Oh, then are you all right?"
"Oh, yes . " Then Rose and other noblemen smiled brightly at me .
"Oh, I'm really looking forward to it . ''
"That's right . The moment I heard what special tea the princess was preparing, I was amazed . "
'Huh? What tea?'
When I was thinking so, Rose, who was next to me, smiled brightly and felt sorry for me .
"I'll be looking forward to it . ''
"Yes? What?" When I asked unknowingly, she responded with a smile to see if she thought I was joking .
"It's a tea party with special tea . "
At that, I sighed and glared at the tree where Max was . Whether it's a lucky or unlucky turns of events . He had disappeared before my eyes . I'll talk to him later .
Then, Mikhail got up . "I'll go get some air . "
I could see Lady Terrence standing up to catch up with the words . "Oh, me too . "
Then Rose called her .
"Veronica, you have to set a date, right?" Lady Terrence sat down with a frown .
"Sheesh! All right . " For a moment, I was relieved that everything passes without any issues, and I sighed as I recalled Max .
'Ah, this contract . . . will it really be okay?'
At that time, a shaky voice turned to me .
"Excuse me, Princess . Why do you sigh as soon as you look at me?" I could see Lady Terrence staring at me .
"Oh, that's . . . . " In fact, I didn't pay a lot of attention . My opinion is that my safety came first, and that I have to take care of my own life . But I couldn't just put it on top of her life while she is looking at me right now . "I'm angry . "
"What?" I heard a back door that seemed absurd (en; Im kinda clueless with this line) .
Yes, now there's no backing down now .
"Because I was often ignored too . " with my frightening words as she realized .
"Who? You, were ignored?" Yeah, you didn't want to admit it . But I understand . Because I was once in your shoes too .
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience . I didn't mean to hurt you . " Even with my apology, she just stared at me without answering . I stood up . Staying here would only hurt her more . "I'm going to host the tea party as promised, but if you're uncomfortable, you can skip it . I won't bother you . " I left the room, as those were my last word to her . .
Meanwhile, Mikhail, who walked out of the parlor with a rough step, had a dark expression .
'He dares! Such a vulgar thing . . . !'
Still, the person next to Juvellian glared all the time, so it was a bit of a nuisance . But even he ignored it because it was not worth bothering . It's only funny to make fun of the insignificant commoner .
Before, when he learned that there was a guy at the end of Juvellian's gaze . And when he noticed that she was showing all kinds of expressions as she looked at it . It felt like the inside of my chest was burning .
'It can't be!'
Mikhail didn't want to admit it . The fact that Juvellian is reacting for such a petty guy . For that reason, when Juvellian looked away, Mikhail shot a glare at Max with . However, the cheeky commoner smirked while motioning to cut his neck with his hands .
'You cheeky bastard, I'll kill you!'
It was when Mikhail, filled with dissatisfaction, came out of the house in search of Max . As I passed by the sparsely populated area, I heard a deep-toned voice muttering .
"You've finally creeped out . " said Max, the man who uttered the same words as an insult to the nobility, staring at Mikhail with his red eyes .
'You've lost your fear, saucy fellow . '
It is a virtue that imperial knights do not show off their martial arts easily . However, Mikhail had no intention of being generous to the common people who had irritated him .
'It's okay to break at least an arm, right?'
It was when Mikhail, who found a suitable excuse to scold the commoner, tried to make a move .
*Bam*
A powerful blow hit his body, and the plague was caught at a moment's notice . It was a new thing that everyone didn't notice .
'What, what is this?'
It was when Mikhail, who has not yet understood his current situation, was frowning . His body fell abruptly .
"Ugh!" It was when Mikhail who was barely trying to get up from the sudden shock . A long shadow cast over him . Soon a faint voice came out .
"As expected, insignificant things look best when they are on their knees . " Inside the slightly crooked red eyes, there was as if madness was lingering in them . Mikhail stared at Max with a frightened look .
Mikhail thought that it would be just fine because he was feeling bored all this time . However, the quick movements that he was shown before and the sense of pressure from his red eyes were overwhelming .
'What is he, who is he?
