BOTB Chapter 17 (1) | Changing minds

“Ernst and Velontia aren’t close by, so it must be difficult while coming.”

The white hand moved in front of her eyes. As the clear liquid filled the teacup, the subtle scent touched the tip of my nose.

“Thanks for your concern, fortunately I came comfortably, the scenery outside was so good that I didn’t even know it was going to pass.”

Now 18-year-old Rosa Bella Velontia was truly proud of her beauty. Wow, sister. You look beautiful ten years later and now.

Ten years later, the mature charm wasn’t a joke, but now it’s fresher and younger than it was then!

Honestly, she was one of the people I wanted to imitate. Lady of elegance, intelligence, and elegance flowing from her one fingertip.

Therefore, it is rather difficult, as there was a feeling, but…… .

“It’s a rose tea from Velontia Rose Garden. I don’t know if it suit miss Ernst’s liking.”

Rosabella Velontia, who I saw again with my eyes, wasn’t that hard to deal with.

“Thank you. It smells good.”

Originally, she and I in my past life were in a face-to-face relationship. But,

There was always an invisible distance between her and me, but is it because she’s older the ?

Rosabella Velontia, who used to be seen as an infinitely high and distant person, felt like a normal person now.

No, but of course still she was a beautiful and elegant lady that would serve as a model for many women. But I couldn’t find any auras I felt from her before.

Maybe it’s because she’s still young, or if I no longer adore her? Is it because I’m not a little girl?

I looked at the face of the person I faced with a strange feeling. Maybe I was envious of her back then.

Rosabella was like a specimen of a noble lady I wanted to be, but her elegance or dignity was something someone like me couldn’t easily replicate.

“I wanted to see and talk about miss Ernst’s face in person like this before.”

But now.… The way she goes felt close to me.

Unlike what the old Rosabella felt, like a woman in the high places that would never reach my hand.

“But you seem to be a little bit different from my imagination.”

She was watching me quietly as I was looking at her, and finally, when she finished pouring tea, Rosabella smiled and opened her mouth.

“What do you mean?”

I put the mug in my hand silently on the table.

“When you first stepped off the wagon and went into the mansion, when I first saw you, I thought I was going to see my aunt.”

It was a person. By the way, did you see the appearance of such a person from me?

Oh, maybe it mean that a homeless atmosphere that doesn’t fit my age flows out of me?

I’m pretty young on the outside, but I’m not inside, so I get stabbed….

“She’s one of the few ladies I admit. She doesn’t lose her noble dignity in any situation.”

“Even at this moment, there is no change in miss Ernst’s eyes. Honestly, it’s admirable. If it were me, obviously I can’t do it.”

So, to be straightforward, in summary, she was surprised because I didn’t feel like a common girl from me.

Hah, if this was me of real age, I would have left Rosabella disappointed.

Of course it wasn’t that I used to neglect the etiquette class just because it used to be, but to be honest, she would have been like imitating to me back then.

So for Rosabella, it was me who gave me the best tribute right now.

To be recognized by her like this, should I say that there has been a rewarding effort that has been made for the past 20 years?

“‘m sorry if I do anything that make you feel bad.”

It wasn’t really bad.

Even the same honesty was somewhat different from the feeling I received from Lavender Cordis.

Rosabella wasn’t looking at me or ignoring me, it was just telling the truth about me. Besides, I had already experienced her character in the past, so I knew enough.

“I wasn’t offended. You’ve seen me look like your aunt, but it’s rather overkill.”

It was unexpected. Seeing that she pay attention to me enough to meet me directly up to the door, unlike Rosabella, I seem to have the intention to make friends with her.

“I wasn’t really worried about it.”

Rosa Bella smiled at my words.

“I think I can get along well with Miss Ernst.”

And in the words of her following, I smiled at the person I met.

“I’m begging you please be at ease. We are going to be a family after all.”

But inside the wagon returning to Ernst, I was feeling somewhat complicated.

A family…

In fact, I wasn’t very close to my sisters in law in the past.

There was a feeling Rosabella is like a lady I can’t get closer to, and Ms. Temperto, who was married to Cabel, was shy and had a bad daylight, making it difficult to get along.

And not only for that reason….

“I’d like to walk, I’m going to the garden.”

Arriving at Ernst, I didn’t go straight into the mansion, but turned to another place. Ethan followed quietly behind me like no other.

Already, the smell of the blades of grass rubbing on the tip of my nose when summer is approaching.

“Oh, I want to drink.”

I muttered unintentionally.

On such a day, it is best to sit on a terrace and sneak a drink. Then, how many years since I have been drinking in this timeline, already?

Will my alcohol in the cellar be good?

Of course, it wasn’t me, it was the Duke of Ernst before, but it’s mine because I steamed it in my heart a few years ago.

Startle.

However, suddenly, I felt a very frightening movement behind me.

I unconsciously turned my head and found Ethan with a doubtful look on his ears.

Immediately after that, I jumped this time. Right, were you there? Haha, but why is your expression like that?

What just happened? Have you ever heard of my word? Strange, I didn’t hear anything!

I reflexively smiled at him with an innocent face, but he already noticed my self-talk.

“It seems to be an early age to drink.”

My smile shook with Ethan’s serious expression. Ugh! You say it with a fastball like this!

Wouldn’t you think of me as a child who turned into rebellion? It’s a misunderstanding!

My mental age is already a legitimate adult since long ago! And what if I want to drink a little?

It’s unfair, unfair! Ugh ah.

“What do you mean by drink? Hmm, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Besides, I don’t know if I’ve been drinking like I really did, as a child. I haven’t even dra k a drop of alcohol since I came back! More unfair!

Let me look at Ethan naturally and innocently look at him, and he reacts to my expression and seems to be not convinced.

“I will pretend not be able to hear this time, but if I witness drinking, I have no choice but to tell the duke,” he sighed.

His eyes look like an adult. It seemed to seen an immature child playing with fire.

Looking at that look, my perfect smile is broken. Ugh, ugh, I’m sorry! But I can’t remember what I deserve. Ugh ugh.

“Because Sir Bishop was wrong? You don’t have to worry about it.”

Nevertheless, Ethan was not believing. His basically expressionless just stare at me. What does that mean to me?

I feel like I’m going to squeeze the futons and pillows a little, what about this strangely shameless and embarrassing mind!

Hah, how long will it be so I can drink?

Looking at his face, I’ve already seen it. It was clear that Ethan Bishop now considers me a bad teenager.

Or are you thinking of being a rebellion teen girl? Of course, it’s not good either way, god damn. I plied my lips and walked ahead.

After a while, a bunch of yellow flowers bloomed in front of me.

Hmph, if this gonna happens, I’ll just be twisted.

I was stigmatized as a bad girl, so I decided to throw off my esteem so far and act more comfortably.

In fact, I don’t know how long I should stay with Ethan, but it was hard to keep conscious of his gaze all day long like now.

I moved tumultuously and sat down in the middle of the flower garden. Ethan jumped briefly at my appearance, not like a noble lady, but never said anything.

The place where we are now was a flower garden that led to an out-of-garden path. The scent spreading from the yellow flowers was delicately fragrant.

I think it would be nice to make something like a bench because the scenery is good here.

Should I tell Hubert to make one of them?

“Sir Ethan, do you know what this flower’s name is?”

“I don’t know.”

I knew it. Actually, I wasn’t too curious about it, but I just wanted to ask it. As I’m trying to squat, my legs feel pain.

The shoes I wear now have a high heel. I glanced at Ethan and then sat down on the grass. Then his face shook small.

Oops, does this sound a little fun?

“I’ll take off my coat.”

“It’s alright.”

Now I’m going to sit down and not put on your outerwear. If I just sit down like this, it’s obvious that my skirt will get wet, but what do you do?

Besides, you still have nothing to do with my actions.

It was also fun to watch Ethan with a small facial expression, reacting with a very small gesture.

I sat in the middle of a flower garden and sat on the back while lying on the floor. Then Ethan faltered once more. Wow, are you surprised at my free form?

It’s okay, I’m a teen girl anyway! Wow, I can’t drink anyway, but I’m just going to twist it.

Still, it was hard for Ethan to keep his mouth open and to keep his dignity, or to get up from his seat.

Instead, he’s standing right next to me as he seemed somewhat embarrassed, then he quietly stepping back and stepping back a little further.

Chirp.

I heard a small chirping bird somewhere. White clouds were floating in the sky. Oops, direct sunlight is skin-friendly!

I thought I was going to bring a mass of dust as I was just annoyed. Instead, I swung to the side.

When I lay down, this time yellow flowers and green grass leaves came into view. I slowly reached out to the side and picked a flower.

‘Are you going to marry Miss Velontia?

A long time ago, someone here slowly emerged from my mind.

The engagement period of Eugene and Rosabella was finally about to fill five years.

Since both Ernst and Velontia were high-powered families, the news of their engagement became a great gossip that made Arlanta bustling.

But when I felt that their engagement period was longer than I expected, I was vaguely wondering if they were going to break up.

So one day, I saw Eugene and I was almost impulsively open my mouth and ask him question.

Back then we were standing in this yellow flowered flower garden where I am lying now.

On the boundary line from late spring to early summer, Eugene looked around at me.

The moment his gaze turned to me, I immediately regretted, ‘Just don’t ask.’

‘It’s going to be so.’

A cool, cool voice flowed into my ear. Any questions or doubts from me or others have no such meaning.

I looked silently at his cold face for a while as if he was staying alone in the winter, even under the warm spring sun.

I didn’t even remember how many years ago it was when I saw Eugene’s smile.

‘Tell me what would be good for a wedding gift? I’ll prepare it in advance.’

While staring at me as a companion, he turned his head to me.

‘You don’t have to.’

‘I do not want to receive from you.’

Suddenly, I was inadvertently small in the afterimage of a sudden memory.

It’s a gift I tried to prepare with a good heart, but It become useless when he say it like that.

I was so grumpy about Eugene that I didn’t really prepare his wedding gift. Ugh, so, did you think that Rosabella wasn’t going to get closer to me?

Perhaps you thought I will not be welcoming to your future wife. If that is the case, I understand.

Honestly, I was twisted and I didn’t prepare anything, so I regretted it.

Anyway, at that time, I was a little angry with Eugene and said,

‘Yeah, eat well and live a good live well.’

“Such a bad guy.”

If I think about it now, I think I should have done that, but at that time, I was really upset.

“Who’s the bad guy?”

Who’s the bad guy? It’s you. At one point, suddenly a shadow was cast on my head.

“What are you doing here?”

“Sunbathing.”

Eugene noticed that as he couldn’t understand why I’m doing this here, but he also reached out without saying anything to me.

“Hold my hand. I’ll get you up.”

I pretended I agree. He grabbed my hand and gave me a hand. After pretending, I soon pulled our hand together forward.

He wouldn’t have blinked his eyes normally, but because of his neglect, Eugene fell over me more easily than I thought.

“What’s this joke again?”

However, Eugene showed his amazing wits in the meantime and reached my hand.

Up close, he looked down at me. Fortunately, my face didn’t seem to make him feel bad or angry.

“Let’s lie down too. The view is better than I thought.”

I smiled playfully at him.

Then Eugene’s eyebrows slowly lifted up. As he did in the lobby on the first floor, he was staring at me again and again.

At that time or now, I’m smiling and I don’t know if he’s trying to figure out something from my expression like that.

“Oh, lay down.”

Look, I’m doing useless things, so I want to see you doing it like me! I pulled his arm and broke his balance.

Eugene narrowed his forehead and collapsed over me. I pushed him to lie down next to me before Eugene got up again.

Achieve the purpose!

Oh, it’s hard. Why is it so hard to lay down next to one person?

Oops, then suddenly my thought went over to Ethan, to be standing somewhere over there.

Then, did I break down Eugene’s dignity in front of his staff now? The hell, but it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, I’m a teen girl going through a period of flurry of rebellion!

“How are you lying down? Is it good to lie down?”

Eugene was looking at my shameless expression, looking back at me with an indescribable expression.

Then he looked away from me and stared at the front.

At the time of dawn, there was orange color in the sky. A yellow flower shook its body and tickled the cheeks in the warm breeze.

Yes, sometimes people have to take a break like this. I work all day and then it is not good for my mind and body.

“Brother Eugene.”

After a while, he turned his gaze back to the little call I spit out.

I pulled my mouth and smiled at him instead of saying what I want to say to him. Eugene stared at me like no one else in the room.

When it was almost night, we woke up.

First, Eugene who raised his body reached out to me as before.

I also grabbed his hand this time without making a joke, but when he raised me up and tried to step back, I rather held his hand tight.

Then I laughed and said as if I was making a folly using his sister’s preferences.

“Just grab hand like this and go.”

The black pupil looked down at me again. I started walking ahead before he refused.

Suddenly Ethan was standing farther away than I last saw. As we walked through the yellow flowers, he quietly followed.

“What is it?”

“What?”

Eugene, who grabbed my hand and walked, opened his mouth.

“There’s a lot of laughter from you today,”

I replied to his keen point, just as if I was.

“Well, is it because I feel good?”

I lost next to Eugene’s warm gaze.

He was suspicious of what I was saying, but since this was my complete problem, I couldn’t say anything to Eugene.

So we grabbed our hands and walked together with the sundown garden.

“You two are here.”

When we stepped into the mansion, Hubert and the servants bowed and greeted us.

“I’m going to go up and change my clothes. I’ll see you soon.”

“Hari.”

But the warmth that had gone a little while back again lifted my hand. When I look back at the voice calling me, Eugene’s face is reflected in my sight.

He called me like I did before and said nothing.

“You have a flower on brother’s head.”

I said, throwing my eyes toward his eyes.

Then Eugene narrowed his forehead and raised his other hand, not holding me, over his head.

Soon there was a yellow flower in his hand. Eugene’s eyes looked down at what was in his hand and shook.

He frowned as he was dissatisfied with the flowers on his head while he was here.

“Why do tell me now?”

“Well, because it look good?”

Once again, his arms moved as if trying to hold me, but I moved away from it.

Eugene did not catch me this time.
