I don't know what this feeling is.
Have I become emotionally dependent on two resumes over the past two months?
But the problem is that Certain is smiling at me.
I have no idea what the intention was.
“I think I'll have to stop talking today, Demeter.”
Ah.
It seems that the guest whose back is turned is Duke Roger.
I met with Roderick and Leah two more times in the past month.
I gave up some doll clothes that Leah coveted, and that's why I became her best friend.
'From now on, Evelin is Leah's best friend! I'll invite Evelin to Lia's magical castle too!'
Roger and his wife applauded when they heard those words burning in their nostrils.
The Magic Castle is a small hut built by the former Duke of Leia in the garden, and it was said that only those with permission could enter it.
I distinctly remember Cerdin twitching his lips.
Memories of that hut flashed before me, where I had to crawl and crouch as hard as I could in order to sit down.
There, we played in the house with acorns and pebbles.
The moment I saw Demeter, those memories came to my mind.
Forget it. Forget it.
My lips were trembling.
I started laughing and then stopped laughing.
“It's been a long time since I've seen you, Your Highness.”
“Hello!”
Leah and Roderick also sent their regards.
Leia was looking forward to going to the magic castle with me again.
The bad thing about Demeter is that he says things like this from the bottom of his heart. There was a comment that Roderick's character looked exactly like my father.
I gritted my teeth.
That kindness… I really want to refuse.
“Haha,” Syrten covered his mouth with the back of his hand.
It was clear that he was holding back laughter.
You're worse, you bastard.
I'm not funny at all now!
“I like it too, the magic castle! But not now.”
When I said this while snapping my fingers, Demeter spoke.
“I think you have an important schedule.”
“Very very important!”
“What is this important thing?” asked Certin, his voice tinged with laughter. Judging by the twinkle in his eyes, he seemed to be full of laughter.
I feel like I'm going to get caught up in every word I say.
But what can I do?
I rushed to the side of two cars.
At a signal from two sirs, a servant ran and placed a new chair.
“My husband! I will buy a gift for Veer’s birthday.”
It was a notice.
Don't stop me, you're the man here.
I widened my eyes on two biographies.
Give your brain a boost, Evelyn... These days, whenever I look at two books, my lips and thoughts become sluggish, which is a big problem.
“A gift for Veronica?”
"This is correct!"
“Rosalina will prepare this for you. Isn't that right, Rosalina?”
Sertin's gaze turned back and Rosalina nodded quickly.
Her smile spread like a blooming flower, and her face took on a shy blush.
“Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince. I have prepared a gift worthy of His Royal Highness.”
No, it can't be like that! When did you ask for it? Why are you so good at doing something I never asked you to do?
There was a setback in the plan.
I was planning to enjoy my free time by ignoring the kids and pretending to be lost.
I clenched my teeth.
Watch out for me, Rosalina.
However, Rosalina seemed fascinated by the fact that she could demonstrate her abilities in front of Sertain.
Rosalina continued speaking in a sweet voice, as if she were dreaming.
“Her Highness Veronica has a particularly keen interest in reading. I heard that she often reads late at night.”
Veronica was someone whose situation was well known.
How could one of her small mistakes affect Sirtain.
So Veronica locked herf away.
I kept meeting people to a minimum and avoided things that might lead to gossip.
In the original story it was said that a diary written by Veronica was discovered after her death. Thanks to this, the darkening of certin accelerates.
“So I prepared high-quality glasses, a reading table, and a bunch of lanterns...”
“Well done”
Sertin stopped her talking as if that was enough, and slowly turned his attention to me. No, what can I say when you prepare such a perfect gift?
“This is not the gift I bought her!”
That's all I have to say.
I spoke angrily and shook my head, “I will choose that myf!”
“… His Royal Highness the Crown Prince,” Demeter Cirten called softly.
Sertin nodded.
At the moment when attention was focused on smooth, flowing hair that vibrates in motion, Demitor directed criticism at Certin.
“It seems you still don't know how to understand people's hearts.”
“… me?”
“Yes. Her Highness seems to want to get out of this stuffy palace and look outside.”
“You really have no understanding,” Demetor said to Sertin clearly.
I started to feel refreshed inside.
Yes, that's what I want to say.
“That's right! I want out. My husband doesn't know anything.”
“You wanted to go out?” It was a strange sound.
Anxiety crept in somewhere.
I felt an instinctive sense of fear and chills.
Sertin placed his hand on his thigh with a smile that suited today's weather very well.
He had the ability to overcome the atmosphere with just a small movement.
said Certin with a laughing voice,
“Then all you had to do was say so, Evelyn.”
“Can I come out?”
“Of course. It's not like I'm imprisoning you.”
“Awesome!”
Why are you so generous?
I felt that Sertin looked more handsome today.
I've already decided what to do when I go out.
I wanted to visit any information stores and stop at bookstores. I also wanted to buy newspapers and gossip magazines and read them to my heart's content.
I was so tired of feeling helpless and isolated in the world, alone and without knowing anything.
If possible, I want to have a good person by my side.
The person who would become my personal assistant without anyone knowing.
While I was dreaming and thinking about different things...
“Get ready to go, Evelyn.”
“Yes!”
“I'll be ready soon too.”
“Yes?”
I blinked in surprise.
Why are you getting ready to go out?
Certain made eye contact with me.
“Couples usually go together, Evelyn. You really don't like that?”
together …?
Demeter smiled proudly and nodded, looking like he was doing well. I thought he was my assistant, but it seems he was actually an X-Man.
It was also noticed that Rosalina's expression suddenly became distorted.
And Serena and Rosie, who look happy and as if they have been liberated.
Yes. My lips are trembling.
"Why? You really don't like that?"
"No. I like it so much! I really like it!"
This outing was a disaster.
* * *
I swallowed hard.
Being alone in an enclosed space… I had never thought of riding in a carriage. Only those who have experienced it will know what a shock it is to realize a man doesn't feel for me alone.
The other guy doesn't care about me, but I'm the only one who thinks of him as a man...
I held my dress tightly and fixed my eyes outside the window.
Even though she was pretending to look outside, she could hear Sirten's breathing, his hand gestures, and even the movements of his legs. I focused on all of that.
I had to work hard not to look away.
The inside of the carriage was filled with a refreshing scent.
Certain was looking at the documents with a calm expression.
swish-! swish-!
This was the first time I knew that the sound of turning pages could stimulate the nerves in this way.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
I was shocked.
"Yes?"
“Is there anything strange in there?”
“It's been a long time! Moreover, this is the first time I've gone out like this.”
This was my first time going through Evelyn's memories. Spellman was nervous about Evelyn's presence.
Did she look like an excited child on her way to a picnic?
“I'm going to go and eat a lot of delicious food!”
In fact, I don't think I can beat Sertin at all. Even though I wasn't able to achieve any of the goals I had planned, I decided to focus on being able to look outward.
Sertin smiled brightly.
My breath was taken away by the smile that made people's hearts flutter.
Now I'm starting to feel a little frustrated.
The fact that I'll have to act like an idiot for the rest of my life.
