The Duchess of the Attic

"That's crazy. I just wanted to call for name correction and support for the organization..."

You've accomplished your purpose.

"That's right... But what is this?" Ripped First Love! Childhood love crosses the ocean too! '"

"As for romance novels, isn't that funny?

Opal sued with the newspaper he had just finished reading in his hand, pointing to the headline in question.

But Claude doesn't seem to care, he's floating.

"As for the novel. Well, I'm glad the Duke of McCloud hasn't become the bad guy."

"... because it's fundamental to not bother anyone."

I can't help but say this now.

Opal squeaked his final thoughts on the sigh as he put the newspaper on the table.

In response, Claude agrees as well.

The content of the article focuses more on the episode leading up to their marriage than on Opal's name, and more on who the Marquis Roussel is.

The story of the first love of a courtier of the Earl of Holloway, an enormous fortune teller, and three sons of the poor Baron family.

In what can be described as a different status, Claude pulls herself back for Opal's happiness, where her friendship with the Duke of McCloud has been lifted.

Half abandoned, Claude travels to the kingdom of Tysey in a state of confusion, to meet his grandfather, from which his birth begins.

Opal, on the other hand, began activities to support women's independence so that there were at least a few fewer women who felt like themselves.

He also reached out to disadvantaged children, wishing people happiness and contributing greatly to charity.

Claude then got a brilliant identity and fortune.

But there are no loving opals. Vain days.

He wants to connect at least a little, invest in the business of man-testing and get to know the Duke of McCloud.

The Duke of McCloud knows the depth of love between the two of them and to pull himself back.

And Opal and Claude patrolled again, and now it was only happily bound.

"- It fits, but it's not, this nonsense."

"But, well, he's taken up a lot about charities, too, okay?

Claude is relaxing and drinking coffee, as opposed to blurry opal with his fingers tapped all over the table.

Seeing that appearance, Opal gradually calmed down as well.

"Yes, but... I have to write to the Duke of McCloud and apologize. Something I gave my name to on my own."

"I'll write that. 'Cause I told you."

"So, can I ask you a favor?

"Of course. Opal's going to see her now, isn't he?

"Yeah, I'm gonna tell Beth I got a reply from my uncle that I'm okay"

He pleaded with his uncle, Jonathan Kenzitt, a legal officer, for a partial waiver of confiscation because he needed alimony for his three children.

Then my uncle finished the necessary processing in one day and replied to me.

Of course, what was done so quickly was that Opal was prepared in advance.

What was even more fortunate about this one was that the confiscation by the Justice Department no longer required Keymont's acknowledgment and signature.

"Shall I come with you?

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'd ask for more escorts than last time, and acting together would be noticeable, wouldn't it?

"Opal stands out enough for one, doesn't he?

"Actually, we're going to hide this time."

"Yeah?"

"It would be hard for Beth to start over with her life if she found out she was involved with me, wouldn't it? So I'm going to go see him in disguise."

"... but be careful and go"

"Okay."

Claude still wanted to say something, but apparently he reconsidered.

With a smile and gentle words, Opal also replied with a smile.

That afternoon.

Opal went outside through the back entrance with Naja and went to Beth in a carriage rental arranged by her servant.

The front is packed with reporters and a lot of people.

The reporters asked for information about Keymont, new information such as the Marquis Roussel, and people could be just wild horses or something they wanted to meet Opal.

Yet it seems that the women empathized with Opal's way of life in this morning's newspaper article, admired it, had a lot of respect and various emotions.

"It's too late to realize how wonderful Opal is by now. Master Opal has always been lovely."

"Thank you, Naja"

I just calmed down in the rental carriage and squeaked like Naja was obstinate.

In addition to Naja, there are two escorts in the car.

"If Beth doesn't thank you for this, she won't forgive you. But I'm not satisfied with the palm return..."

Opal looked out the window, grinning bitterly at the bumping naja.

Gradually, the view of the city changes and the buildings become blurred.

Opal today owes Naja her regular clothes so she shouldn't float that far around here either.

"Okay, let's go."

"Yes!"

For some reason Opal got off the carriage with Naja who was more intent than Opal.

And just like last time, I go up the old stairs and knock on the door.

"Hello, Beth. How are you feeling?

"Ma'am..."

While Beth was surprised, she slowly walked in through the door, and Naja continued to close the door.

If Opal observed Beth standing stunned, her complexion was bad and her stomach was so big that she was likely to still give birth.

"You'll be tired of standing up, so why don't we sit down?

Beth didn't try to stop Opal from opening the bedroom door with that voice.

On the contrary, I honestly lower my back next to Opal.

Opal was surprised Beth was completely quiet.

"Is there somewhere that hurts? Tummy or hips? Or do you feel bad?

"No......"

Beth answered small and silenced herself.

When Opal just sits next to him without speaking, he hears Beth's sobbing voice.

"Beth?"

"Wow, I... scared..."

"Right."

You can't be scared before giving birth.

And he's the only one.

Now I wondered what happened to Beth's family, but it would be wild to ask.

"Hey, Beth. Why don't you move to the facility I'm supporting, if you don't mind? It's inconvenient here even though you're close to having a baby. You have a lot of experience over there, and you can count on it, right?

"But..."

"You don't have to worry about money. Besides, I talked to Sir Keymont. They're going to pay for the child's maintenance."

Opal suggested that we still can't leave him here alone.

Tell him not to worry about the money again because it is a source of hard work.

Beth looked at Opal staring as she wiped her tears with her sleeves.

"I learned in the paper that that person was arrested. You're the father of this child!

Beth, who screamed in a screaming voice, kept her eyes closed.
