Chapter 16: 15

Chapter 15

So, you want to ask why I came here all alone, acting like a beggar?

I could have answered anything.

Because I don't want to catch your eye

It meant going to your destined partner, not me.

Of course, I can never say that in front of those cold eyes.

“So interesting.”

“… … .”

"Because I don't know what he's thinking."

Zerlac said something he couldn't quite tell whether it was a compliment or a curse.

“Don’t be funny.”

I said it without feeling as much as possible.

Then, without saying anything for a while, I stood on the balcony and looked down at the garden.

I couldn't find anything to say either, and it seemed that Jerlac was no different.

“Bernadette.”

It was his low voice that cut through the suffocating silence.

“I wanted to see you with a more comfortable face today.”

At Zerlac's words, I took my eyes off him.

He seemed dissatisfied with the look on my face, but for now it was for the best.

Besides, how complicated my head is right now, how can I make a relaxed and comfortable expression!

“I-I… … . I have a personal problem.”

“Not good?”

“Yes, so what is personal?”

I thought it would be okay to just talk about it as a personal matter.

"Tell me. I'll take care of it.”

It is difficult for the male lead here because he is a person who has a very strong problem solver instinct.

“Oh, no.”

“Then can I find out?”

"yes? What, what do you know?”

“What happened to you?”

“No, never. Don't do that!”

I was shaking my hands, but wasn't Zerlac laughing brightly, unaware of my frustrating speed!

Ha, I should have worn a knotted bracelet.

I should have done something, whether it was to stave off bad luck or evade fate!

In this case, it is best to leave.

“Oh, come to think of it, I have been away for too long. Because Lady Almaz is waiting for me.”

I looked at Jerlac's eyes and threw a word, but his expression wasn't bad.

Oh, why don't you sneak up on it at a time like this?

At this point, I decided to bring up Leonie's story.

“Lady Almaz is the kind of person who doesn't say anything unpleasant even if she waits for me this long.”

“… … .”

“You really have a kind heart like silk.”

I secretly looked into Jerlac's eyes and continued.

“But you don’t know how pretty your face is as much as your beautiful heart.”

How kind, kind, and angelic our Leonie is.

He was born and raised in a good family, received a lot of love, and is a child who shines like sunlight.

Did my efforts, that is, my efforts to appeal to Leonie, worked at least a little?

“Is Lady Almaz blonde?”

I quickly responded to Zerlac's question with joy in my heart.

'Also! I must have fallen in love with Leonie at the banquet hall a while ago!'

I clenched and opened my fist once, barely visible, and continued.

"Yes, that's right. It's blonde hair that's as bright as light in the dark.”

“A blue dress?”

“Yes, yes, yes, yes.”

“With a red ribbon?”

“Oh, that's right. You are correct!”

What is it, when did you look so closely?

After all, men are all the same in front of a pretty woman.

Well, our Leonie is pretty. chuckle!

At this rate, the two of us can connect without much effort, right?

Thinking about that, I'm laughing inwardly.

“Is that young lady you see over there?

“Yes, right… … . yes?"

Let's turn our heads in the direction Zerlac pointed.

Oh my God, are you really Leonie?

"uh? Why is Leonie over there?”

I looked down at Leonie as she hung from the balcony.

She was taking a walk in the garden, keeping pace with someone with a very happy face.

God, what's going on?

Zerlac said as I turned my head in confusion as she moved.

“Doesn’t your friend look like he’s waiting for you?”

“… … .”

Oh, what is it?

Yes, since I came to the prom, it was only natural for me to hang out with people.

“By the way, those who are with Lady Almaz.”

“… … .”

"It's the man I saw at your house."

It was none other than Adrian.

I was really taken aback and left speechless.

The one in the distance was obviously blonde Leonie, and it was Adrian who was enjoying a walk side by side with her.

'Why is Leonie with that person?'

I hoped my eyes were wrong, or I was looking at the wrong person.

That hair, gorgeous and beautiful enough to shine even in the dark, was definitely Leonie.

“… … .”

Even at a distance, he could feel Leonie's feelings.

It's all about her swaying movements, her slightly breezy-looking steps, and her soft fingertips hiding a smile.

Leonie looks happy now.

“Is it okay if I don’t have to go to my friends anymore?”

I was left speechless.

No, Leonie. Isn't this the time to have fun with Adrian?

Somehow, the hole to get out of here is gone, and because of Leonie's happy appearance (?), I don't know what to do.

“I want to ask you something.”

Xerlac leaned back on the balcony and stared at me.

What are you asking me all of a sudden?

I swallowed a dry saliva and looked at the distant mountains-

"Didn't you like the dress?"

ha ha ha.

What is to come has come.

It was something I had vaguely guessed from the moment I came wearing this dress.

If she doesn't show up wearing the dress she gave her, they might ask why.

Certainly, a moment like now may come.

So you just have to speak calmly as you prepare.

But like I said before, I have a really flat personality, so I can't hide my true feelings.

He's the type of person who lies nine times out of ten!

Besides, what I had in mind was so rude that it took me quite a bit of courage to say it.

It's really hard to be rude to someone, to be a bad person.

much more than you think.

“Yes, it’s a bit far from my taste.”

Say it as bluntly as you can and turn your head away.

I pretended to be fine, but in fact, my legs were shaking under the dress.

Gerlac is not a generous person.

It was up to me how to handle the gift after receiving it, but to be rude like this... … !

His brow, which had been flattened by my words, began to twitch.

"okay?"

“Yeah, what. It looked expensive, but it's not the type that's popular these days.”

But now that I've drawn my knife, I need to cut the radish as well.

It's showing a strange obsession, so the best thing to do is to let go of it!

But if you're so upset that you're going to slit my throat, it's difficult.

Sure enough, when I glanced up at him from the side of my eye, Zerlac's face had changed, as if he had chewed on pebbles.

I was frightened for a second and almost said it was a joke, but I held it in.

Wake. Did you forget to be hated?

"Then I'll have to look for another aide."

Talking about a dress, suddenly an aide?

“Why is the aide suddenly?”

“That dress. I chose it myself.”

“… … .”

“I had never bought a woman's dress before, so I asked Lord Aurier for his opinion.”

It was when the gentle-faced Sir Milen Aurier passed by in my mind.

“When I asked if it was the prettiest dress, I said yes without question.”

“… … .”

“Because I need someone to do the job right.”

“Hey there, Your Highness the Archduke.”

But, as if he couldn't hear my calling, Zerlac spoke again.

“I know you got married last year. A child will be born soon.”

“… … .”

“This time, I hope you find a job that suits your aptitude.”

“Your Highness, the Grand Duke.”

Zerlac slowly raised his body from the balcony and cut off my words.

“I almost forgot.”

I'm holding my breath wondering what I'm going to say this time...

“I have to punish you.”

"yes? Punishment?”

“To the one who lied to me that the design was the most fashionable.”

Wow, you say that you cut and punish someone so casually?

Are you really crazy?

“Your Highness, Grand Duke. Don't do that.”

“My gift has not been your joy. Someone has to take responsibility.”

“No, no, Your Highness the Grand Duke. So that's... … .”

Should I say that everything I've said so far is actually a lie?

I mustered up the courage to spit out harsh words (?), but now I can't say I'm sorry that it was all lies.

Oh really!

 

You, you, hey. Why are you doing this to me!
