The Grand Duchess Is Defeated Again Today

The princess admits defeat.

-······The correct answer, Estelle.

The fiance’s voice speaking the saint’s name did not hesitate more than ever.

As if he had known him for a long time, as if he was someone he had loved for a long time.

There was not the slightest bit of hesitation.

She didn’t know if it was an over-interpretation or a paranoia of persecution.

What would have happened to Albert meeting the saint?

Her fiance was not affiliated with the Church at all, and neither was she.

It was clear that she was giving meaninglessly to her fiancée’s words.

Still, I couldn’t get rid of the awkward feeling.

Because today’s Albert was quite a stranger to her.

Because she has been showing more concentration in class than she was before.

These reasons overlap each other, making her think badly even though she didn’t want to think about it.

Then, the conversation between the fiance and the tutor that she heard.

– I heard you saw the name of the saint in the newspaper.

– uh. I looked it up and saw there was a pretty person, and when I saw it, it was a saint.

pretty person.

Her fiance was calling a saint she had never seen a pretty one.

Not only was she memorizing the name of a woman she had never met, but she was also saying that her face was pretty.

That was very disturbing to her.

I also didn’t know why.

It’s not that I’m jealous, why would she feel bad about her fiance calling someone pretty?

Neither she nor her fiance are in love with each other. It’s not like we’re in love with each other.

There must be absolutely no reason to feel bad.

Her mood was the worst running of the day.

If she thinks it would be normal, it shouldn’t matter. For some reason, her mood became increasingly muddy.

– Princess.

– Why are you calling me?

Albert’s voice was heard vividly in his ears again.

This fiance’s voice was looking for her. Not another woman like a saint.

Although I was a little happy about that fact, I was still not in a good mood, so I responded with a blunt voice.

– I guess I won this bet too.

– ···.

Her fiancé, who seemed to have no clue, seemed unaware of her mood.

Seeing her say things like that honestly.

– ·······I think you are good.

– ······Yes?

He spit it out towards his fiance in a cold voice that was different from before.

Because I don’t like Albert who doesn’t know how his fiancée feels.

– You seem to enjoy memorizing pretty girl names from newspapers.

– ···.

Albert had a bewildered expression on his face, as if he had never expected her to react like this.

And for reasons still unknown, the bewildered look on her fiancee’s face made her even more upset.

– Don’t follow me.

So I left the study with the words not to follow me.

Actually, it wasn’t something I had to do. Although she was offended, because Albert’s ignorant behavior had offended her.

She should have told her fiancé about that and apologized.

However, she couldn’t.

Albert’s words, calling the former saint pretty, kept ringing around. The fact that I had told a saint who I had never seen before that she was pretty, who didn’t treat her well, kept revolving around me.

I got out of the library and started walking blindly.

After walking like that for a while.

“······Terrace?”

Eventually, we reached the terrace where we could see the garden of the Earl’s house.

She had no desire to visit Count Xernias’ garden, though.

As soon as I saw the terrace in front of me, I suddenly wanted to see the garden of the Earl’s house.

quiver-

Let’s open the door to the terrace as if possessed.

What she saw were well-maintained plants.

Starting with various flowers such as roses and tulips, various trees famous for ornamental purposes.

Even the under-grown crops, which seem to be unable to infer their identity at all.

Various plants welcomed her to the garden.

After taking a look around the garden, the impression she felt was, ‘It’s simple but pretty.’

Even compared to the garden in her house right now, Count Xernias’ garden was very small.

Although there are many flowers, trees and plants. There were quite a few differences in type and number.

Compared to the garden of the Duke of Valencia in this size, it was regrettable.

However, the condition of the plants looked better than the condition of the plants in the garden of the Duchess of Valencia.

Plants were neatly arranged according to type as if the gardener who took care of the garden paid a lot of attention.

Even this morning, the plants were full of vitality as if they had been watered.

I’m looking at plants like that, thinking they’re pretty.

“······The gardener took great care.”

A familiar voice came from behind her.

It made her feel better just looking at flowers.

“Please don’t follow me. ·······No, I’ll go somewhere else.”

Feeling bad again, she didn’t even make eye contact with the owner of the voice and tried to leave the garden as before.

“········ I will make a wish.”

“····.”

I had no choice but to stop and stop at the words of my fiancé that I would now use the wish I had obtained through my previous bet.

“······I beg your pardon?”

“I said that I would use the wish ticket I got earlier.”

thump- thump-

A heartbeat that I don’t know if it’s someone’s voice. It started ringing again.

She had a feeling that this situation was somehow familiar.

***

Rebecca was just about to turn away from me and leave the garden.

“What is your wish?”

Fortunately, he did not ignore my words of making a wish.

“I just want you to listen to me.”

“…is that really the end?”

Rebecca’s voice as if asking if you have any other wishes to make.

Perhaps Rebecca would have expected that she would wish to accept my apology.

If you say you want to say your wish in the current situation, you will think of a hundred reasons why.

“Yes, that’s it.”

“····.”

But it was a wish that went against my wishes.

What I really want is a wish.

“I just want you to listen to me.”

It wasn’t about forcing a relationship to be improved by wishing, it was about improving the relationship with sincerity.

The purpose was not to avoid this situation.

“········ Try it. Then.”

Rebecca heard my wish and nodded as if to do it.

“Thank you. Princess.”

I thanked such a princess.

“First of all, I want to apologize for the past.”

“····.”

“I didn’t understand the princess’s heart and spoke without notice. I’m sorry.”

“······· And yes.”

The princess asked for the following reason as if half the answer was correct.

“Even in front of the most beautiful fiancee in the world, they called other women pretty.”

“····.”

Obviously Rebecca is covering her mouth with her hand.

Why do you feel that the corners of the princess’s lips are raised a little?

I didn’t know the truth, but if my words made Rebecca feel better, there’s nothing wrong with the current situation.

I was just about to skip it.

“Is that the end?”

Now, it seems that Rebecca’s anger has been relieved to some extent, and she has returned to her usual tone of voice rather than a sharp tone.

Up to this point was enough. It seemed that the goal of relieving Rebecca’s anger had already been achieved.

Because I knew that Rebecca wasn’t in a bad mood right now, even though I didn’t have a bad eye.

There was no need to say more here.

“It’s still there.”

Still, I didn’t stop talking.

“…?”

Even Rebecca, who was the party, tilted her head at my words that she still had something to say.

I couldn’t stop here.

If I stopped talking like this, wouldn’t it be the same as losing to a princess.

The only thing that was obtained by making a wish was that Rebecca’s forgiveness was the only thing. I was so proud of myself that I couldn’t tolerate it.

At least, seeing the expression on the princess’s desperate expression was the way to make this match, which was almost defeated, at least a draw.

“I broke the heart of my fiancée, whom I love.”

“What… what?”

The power of the word ‘love’ was outstanding.

Hearing my words, Rebecca immediately blushed and started showing a reaction that seemed to be broken.

But.

“Because I was in front of the most beautiful and lovable princess, and said that other women were pretty.”

“····.”

“It’s only natural that the fiancee I’m longing for is in a bad mood.”

As I said, I had no intention of quitting this match until at least making it a draw.

“The sin of not understanding the heart of the princess I love the most in the world is a sin that deserves death.”

“····.”

“I want my beloved fiancee to punish me.”

“······stop…”

Rebecca’s face was already so red that it couldn’t be dyed red anymore.

He was covering his face with both hands as if he didn’t want to show me.

I checked it out.

bum- bum-

“Please don’t come.”

Ignoring the princess’s request not to come.

“Because you won’t come…”

Slowly, one step at a time, I approached the princess.

“If you cover it like that, won’t you be able to see your pretty face?”

He removed the two evil hands that were covering his reddened face.

“····.”

“······· Isn’t it? The most beautiful Princess Rebecca in the world, Princess Valencia.”

She looked straight into her bright red eyes that were stained with shame.

A time for eye contact that may be sweeter than a kiss.

Except for me and Rebecca, time seemed to have stopped.

“·······I lost.”

“Yes?”

“Because I… lost… Please stop…”

It was Rebecca who declared defeat first.

His face was already as red as his own hair. Now I couldn’t even make eye contact.

And because I wasn’t such a vicious person that I wouldn’t accept the declaration of defeat by my beloved fiancee.

“I see. Beloved fiancee.”

“··················································································································································································· uh.

willingly accepted the surrender.

In the end, the Grand Duchess did not win today.
