The Grand Duchess Is Defeated Again Today

The princess does not meet

whistle-

The sound of the wind comes from the sword swung.

It’s not a special swordsmanship, it’s just a simple strike.

Repeat this simple movement, but focus on one thing at a time.

“You are more enthusiastic these days.”

Was I wondering if I was practicing swordsmanship a lot harder than usual? Aaron, who was watching my training next to me, spoke to me.

“·······Just because you can not think about anything when you swing your sword.”

“Are you having any concerns?”

Of course it is.

It’s not a small problem, it’s a very big problem.

But the worries I am currently dealing with are not worries that I can tell other people.

“No, I’m just upset.”

I just turned around.

“If the master is upset… Is it because of Princess Valencia?”

“····.”

I think about it sometimes.

Contrary to his appearance, Aaron was very quick-witted.

He looks like a person who doesn’t even understand the heart of a woman he likes. Is it because it’s someone else’s business? Or maybe I can’t hide my expression well.

“··············································· really needlessly quick with.”

“Really? It’s just a rough picture.”

“····.”

“I was joking. Don’t be mad.”

When my expression changed unexpectedly, Aaron immediately lowered his tail.

“ha.”

only sighed

Whether it was the swordsmanship teacher or my parents, why was everyone so anxious that they couldn’t make fun of me?

‘Is it karma…?’

Maybe I’m getting the karma that made fun of Rebecca here.

In the future, I will try to reduce the amount of teasing the princess. It wasn’t something I wanted to do, but if I try, anything will work.

I made a promise that I would never keep.

“Is this the reason why you don’t go to the fortress duke’s house?”

“If you ask me… it is.”

Just like Aaron said.

The last time I visited the Dukes of Valencia was a week ago.

I mean, I haven’t been there since I stayed up all night in Rebecca’s room a week ago.

“…were you even having a fight with the princess?”

“no.”

“Then… What happened, so you don’t go to the duke’s house, which you always went to once every three days, for a week?”

“So, what. You hate me for staying?”

“No. Rather, I feel more comfortable when the master is in the count.”

“·········If I stay, are you comfortable?”

“If there is a master, I will always watch over his swordsmanship, so I don’t have to do my job.”

“····.”

It seems that there is a salary lupine that we have only heard of in our family.

‘······ I have to tell you.’

I was seriously contemplating whether I should tell my father about this, and Aaron, who didn’t know what I was thinking in my head, asked as if he didn’t understand.

“What really happened?”

“············Nothing happened.”

“It’s because I can’t understand it with my stupid thinking. It’s a fact that everyone in the Empire knows that the princess and the master are better than most newlyweds.”

Perhaps, according to Aaron’s words, Rebecca and I were not from the Empire. If you don’t know that we’re good friends.

“What is the matter between the princess and the master of the fight?”

“Because I didn’t fight.”

“No matter how much you think about it, it doesn’t seem like there was a fight… Then, a week ago, when the master was staying for a day at the Duke’s Residence of Valencia, something happened…”

Aaron stroked his chin as if he were a detective and started reasoning hard.

The first time I was outrageous about that appearance, and the second time I was shocked that the reasoning was quite accurate.

“Have you committed a crime?”

“Pooh.”

For a moment, I doubted my ears.

“what?”

“It’s not that I don’t believe in the master. The princess and the master haven’t even had their coming-of-age ceremony yet.”

“····.”

“So, as a knight of the Xernias family, I would like the master to restrain the future of the Xernias family a little.”

It seemed that Aaron had already fully accepted his reasoning that I had done something with Rebecca(?).

When you see me ignoring my words like that and just saying what I have to say.

“I knew it wasn’t normal before, but you’re really crazy today.”

“It’s a reward in our industry.”

“······Crazy.”

He stuck his tongue out at Aaron’s wit that exceeded his imagination.

Who is the employee and who is the employee?

“You don’t even feel like swinging a sword anymore, so let’s do it for today.”

“·······If anyone sees it, they’ll know what I’m teaching.”

“I’m always learning new knowledge from the master.”

A guy called a family knight was trying not to lose a word to the family master.

I couldn’t stand my anger any longer, so I finally took out the cheats.

“I’ll tell my father that I don’t need a swordsmanship teacher for the next month.”

“··············I did something wrong. Master.”

Aaron then admits his mistake and becomes polite.

But it’s already too late. If you’re going to admit it, you should have done it sooner.

I immediately turned my back and started running to my father’s office.

“Bocchan!!! Are you like this between us!!!”

Ignoring Aaron’s scream from behind.

You should have done well when that happened.

***

“…So you’re going to practice swordsmanship by yourself for a month?”

“Yes, Father.”

“Is there any reason?”

Aaron, the swordsman teacher, doesn’t want to see him.

The words almost came out of my mouth unintentionally. endured well.

“I think it’s necessary to get into the habit of practicing alone to some extent.”

“·······I got it. Don’t tell the knight commander.”

“Thank you, Father.”

My stomach was cold.

The fact that Aaron, who used to play while teaching me swordsmanship, will do what he normally does.

Of course, I learned a lot of swordsmanship from Aaron, though. It didn’t matter at all to me now.

As the winner was smiling like that, the Count’s voice spoke as if he had just remembered.

“It seems that these days, they don’t visit the Duke of Valencia.”

“······That’s right.”

“Is there any reason for this?”

“that…”

Of course there was a reason.

But like I said before, the reason was not an easy reason to tell others.

‘········How to say that you can’t see your fiancee’s face.’

Even now, if I stood still, the memories of that time were recreated.

The gentle hand that pulled me in, the voice that told me to be quiet.

The slight heat felt so close, and the two clear red eyes that contained only me.

Lastly, Rebecca’s soft and sweet lips.

Just thinking about what had happened that morning made my face warm, and if I didn’t do anything, it kept coming up in my head.

It was for this reason that he practiced swordsmanship much harder than usual.

At least, I didn’t think of Rebecca’s beautiful face as long as I was swinging the sword.

It felt like I was forgetting the memories of that day when I swing the sword without thinking.

So I swung my sword hard.

“If you can’t say it, you don’t have to say it.”

When I hesitated to tell the reason, Count Xernias smiled slightly and relieved my tension.

“I was just a little worried. The guy who was visiting the duke’s house on a fictional day suddenly didn’t come.”

“Thank you, Father.”

“When the business is over, go out.”

I’ve been possessed by this place and I’ve been feeling it for 3 years.

My parents, the Counts of Xernias, were really nice people.

Always do the basics, but don’t do any more touches once you’ve done all the basics.

They let their children live their own lives, but teach them to always keep a certain line.

The people who wanted their children to live happily more than any other parents were my parents here.

I’m sure you still know what happened between me and Rebecca.

Still, you don’t bother asking me.

‘·······It must be because you believe in me.’

It was because they believed in me, their child, and Albert Xernias, the only son of the Xernias family.

I was always very grateful for that.

“Then, let’s go first.”

“Are you planning to visit the Duchess of Valencia tomorrow?”

At the words of his father who asked if he would visit the duke’s house tomorrow.

I replied with a small smile.

“Yes.”

“Why don’t we all have dinner together this evening after a long time. Charles seems to have been preparing for quite a while today.”

“Okay. Father.”

“okay.”

Dinner that night was really good.

It was unknown whether the reason was because Charles, the count’s cook, prepared hard, or because he was with his parents, Count Xernias and his wife.

It could be said that it was more delicious than the dinner I had at the Duke of Valencia.

After such a fun family dinner.

the next morning.

“It’s been a long time coming. Prince Albert.”

“It’s been a while, Dorothy.”

I visited the Duchess of Valencia after a week and a day to meet Rebecca.

But there he encountered an unexpected situation.

“Who is the princess?”

As usual, to visit Rebecca, I asked her whereabouts as a greeting.

“uh…”

For some reason, Dorothy, who always said to me, ‘Your lady is in your room today,’ was speechless today.

The next words gave me the feeling that I had been hit in the head with a pot.

“Lady Rebecca… When Prince Albert comes, I don’t want to see it, so I’m telling you to send it back.”

“····.”

Rebecca refused to see me.
