About a month passed, and the story about the short-lived writer was about to be heard.

Adele’s father also left for Kish, and Adele’s house became an empty house, with only Adele staying there. Although it was a house in a noble neighborhood with good security, we still brought in some of the soldiers from our mansion just in case. Adele was very I was sorry, but I covered it up by saying that if I had some money at home, I should pay it back slowly from then on.

Adele’s house became empty again, and we moved our hideout from Amelia’s house, which was crowded, to Siadel’s house again. … Calling it a hideout may sound a bit odd, but it was the truth.

Since there was no one in the mansion, I could literally live as I wanted.

Even if I walked around soaked in sweat, no one noticed, and even if I leisurely washed up, dried my hair, drank tea or ate a cookie, I didn’t have to worry about someone suddenly entering the room.

And because of that, I was able to easily bring up stories that might be a little embarrassing for others to hear.

“Actually, I’m a little anxious.”

And Adele was the first to bring up the story.

Actually, out of these four people, Adele was the only one who had the most normal ‘girl sensibility’. When you see her passion for swordsmanship or the way her eyes sparkle when she sees a real knight, there are times when I think she may have deviated a little from that sensibility, but still. Adele is the only one who is the most removed from politics and does not remember her past life in which she grew up to adulthood.

From a young age, Diane grew up receiving indoctrination from her father as an aristocrat.

Because of our past life memories, Amelia and I could not be said to be ordinary girls. In terms of age, we could say that we were much older.

“I… … What kind of person can I marry?”

“… … .”

hmm.

That was a very profound question.

No, I’m not talking about philosophy.

It was profound in that asking that question seriously distorted the minds of the people here.

First of all, as soon as she heard the question, Diane looked very shocked. But she opened her mouth to say something and then closed it.

I guess there was nothing I could say.

Things happened between the two, but it didn’t go to the end. They kissed, but that was just for practice.

Moreover, it was Diane who put forward that cause first, not Adele.

Diane seemed strong, but she was not very confident in this area, so I couldn’t bear to say anything.

And in this world, it was impossible for women to marry each other in many ways. Even if they clearly realized their feelings for each other, saying that they would stay together for the rest of their lives was a bit unreasonable. If Amelia and I had different common sense, we wouldn’t know.

But that doesn’t mean Nana Amelia could say anything.

It is not that difficult to say, ‘I will meet a good person soon.’

However, there is no way I could say such a thing, even though I know that the man who approached Adele just before was a guy whose personality was completely different.

Adele doesn’t have anyone around her that she can call a man.

And if we say that, it will be like killing Diane, who is already depressed.

“… … .”

“… … Oh, I’m sorry. Did I say something too strange?”

“No, it’s not like that.”

Amelia smiled bitterly and raised her teacup.

“However, the truth is that no one here has ever been in a romantic relationship. Well, I’m sorry that I can’t tell you anything helpful.”

I nodded vigorously from the side.

“Ah!”

Adele blushed, as if remembering that fact too late, and said in a hushed voice, “I’m sorry.”.

Just because it is a world where most people have arranged marriages does not mean that there is no such thing as romance. It is not as common for nobles to treat their children as mere pawns than you might think, so usually, girls who meet frequently from childhood or the sons and daughters of close aristocratic families are married. There are often cases of dating in the process of building up relationships and getting engaged both privately and privately.

If the marriage really falls into disrepair, the people who were once united could end up in trouble.

Of course, I wonder how many such ideal relationships exist, but those are the kinds of stories that are usually brought out in places like this.

“It happened often when I read it in books… … .”

Adele muttered, looking into the distance with her eyes blankly open.

“Is there anyone who likes Adele?”

“Someone you like?”

“Yes. Even though I never really thought about getting married, this is the person I had in mind.”

“In your heart?”

“So, um… … .”

Amelia said while fiddling with the teacup.

“ Before going to sleep at night, when I’m lying in bed. I’m staring blankly at the ceiling. A person who suddenly comes to mind. A person who I feel a little sorry about time when we’re apart, a person I want to talk to, and a person who I regret because time passes so quickly just by being next to me.◦ #◦

“… … .”

“Oh, I’m sorry. There was no one like that among the four of us right now.”

Amelia said that with a wry smile, but every girl here, including me, was lost in her own thoughts.

There is. Of course there is.

If you just listen to what Amelia says, it seems like she means men, but if you expand the scope to include women rather than men, there will definitely be one.

The answer is so clear that no one can say anything.

By the way, I’m Amelia. I don’t even need to think of her when I hear her, I’ve liked her for a long time.

“Yes… … ?”

Adele, who was lost in thought after hearing Amelia’s words, made a sound that seemed a little strange.

“Oh my.”

Amelia did not miss that sound.

Amelia’s eyes narrowed slightly. The corner of her mouth was still smiling. At first glance, her expression looked a little mischievous, but I knew what that expression was. It was an expression that was targeting prey.

Prey… … I’m not sure if this expression is correct, but isn’t it a bit unfair to call it a mother bird feeding other baby birds?

“It looks like someone has something to point out.”

Diane’s ears perked up at those words. For a moment, she thought she was seeing a rabbit.

“Well, so… … Huh?”

Adele tilted her head.

Why does this person come to mind, Diane? That must be the expression on her face. Anyone can see the situation clearly.

I chewed the cookie as if I was eating popcorn. Of course, like a nobleman, I refrained from making any noise. That was a little disappointing.

“Um, or something… … Did you remember her looks? I want to hear about Adele’s tastes. Is there a type you like?”

“Ah… … Yes, it exists.”

“Who do you like?”

Amelia asked with a happy expression. It’s not that she wasn’t, she looked really happy. It didn’t seem like she was acting at all.

“So, that’s blonde… … ”

“Blonde hair?What about eyes?”

“The eyes are blue… … .”

“Green?”

Every time the description of her appearance and Adele’s description overlapped, Diane glanced at Adele. Her face turned red so much that she couldn’t hide it.

Of course, from Diane’s perspective, she can’t be sure. This is a world where it’s hard to imagine a woman liking another woman.

But even so, you can’t help but feel good when the person you like comes out of the mouth about your own body characteristics. The delusion won’t stop, probably.

“What about your height?What about your height?”

Continuing the story, Amelia asked.

The “key is—”

This is a crucial clue.

Adele’s height is not short, but it does not match the average height of men. She is definitely shorter than me, but she is slightly taller than the average among women.

Diane is a bit shorter than Adele, probably around average.

Here, if you say that you are smaller than yourself, you either like men with an incredibly special trait, or you are homosexual, which is also an incredibly special trait in this world.

“… … .”

Adele was silent for a moment, then

“I can’t say it!”

He shouted that with his face turning bright red.

Diane’s shoulders, which had risen slightly in anticipation, suddenly fell.

cute.

Both of them.

I thought while chewing the butter cookie deliciously.

*

I drove Diane home as usual and returned home.

As expected, the maid welcomed the two of us as usual—

“Elsie girl.”

what.

This is the first time the maid called me here.

There were often times when I had to run something to see Amelia. After all, the owner of this mansion was Amelia, and of course, she had to hear about guests and news coming to this mansion.

But now—

“A letter arrived from Mr. Elsiaga.”

I received a letter from the maid.

“Ex.”

And, truly surprisingly, the letter was stamped with the seal of an eagle with a sword in both paws.

It was the seal of the royal family.

… … why?

Normally, when I received a letter, I would have opened it a little more leisurely, but I was almost instinctively opening the letter on the spot.

And the letter that came out from inside said this.

*

To Elsidelkisi, the eldest daughter of the Indelkisi family, the proud shield of the Alwen Kingdom.

Prince Allen, the second prince and Crown Prince Jahyun, who is a close friend of the Lady, wants to meet the Lady.

I would appreciate it if you would accept the invitation.

I will set the date as given by the Lady.

Posted by Alwen Royal Senior Secretary.

*

“Ugh.”

And once again a sound of disgust came out of my mouth.

So suddenly?

“Amelia—”

When I turned to Amelia, who was reading the letter next to me to ask for her opinion, I was shocked to see her with an expression on her face that looked like she was going to burn the letter with just her eyes.

Wouldn’t it be better to calm down a bit?

I’m not the one who caused that mess last time.
