The Grand Duchess Is Defeated Again Today

Princess Holds Heavy

pounding-

A heartbeat began to resound in the room filled with silence.

There was no need or reason to find out whose heart this heartbeat was…

Because the distance between me and Rebecca was already too close to tell whose heart it was.

“·······Worried about?”

Getting Estelle out of the room seemed like a very wise choice.

I’m doing it myself, but I think what I’m doing and what I’ll do in the future is embarrassing to show anyone other than Rebecca.

·················Not like the saint in the original story, Mikhail, who hates us and tries to run away.

Well, actually, this isn’t important.

“····.”

What matters is the fiancee who is now locked in my arms with her face stained red.

It felt like it had been a long time since I had seen Rebecca from such a close distance.

It’s been a week since I last saw the princess, and when I last saw Rebecca, I couldn’t take a close look at her face except that Rebecca was on my back.

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Yes?”

“You caught a cold… Why didn’t you tell me?”

Rebecca skips my question of whether she was worried and asks her own.

Was it a timid rebellion against the current situation that was held by me without doing anything, or was that question filled in my head even before I arrived here?

This fact, which no one else would know, only the princess, the master of thought, would know.

“I was afraid you might be worried.”

“····.”

“I’m afraid my fiancée will be upset by the news that my fiancé has a bad cold. I didn’t tell you.”

At least right now, I’ve done a lot of wrong things, so I’ve decided to put it aside.

Admitting one’s mistakes and accepting a solution is also one of the virtues to be a good fiancée.

“Do you think I’ll just be disturbed by such news?”

A princess with a pouty expression on her face, asking if she only thought of herself that much.

The pale pink lips sticking out showed that she was offended.

“Yeah, I think you’d be very upset.”

“····.”

“Didn’t you come to see me like this, knowing that I was sick this time too?”

The cause of this current situation itself meant that Rebecca’s words were false.

First of all, I never officially told the princess that I was sick.

I was thinking about writing down that I caught a cold in the letter I sent to him saying he wouldn’t be able to visit me for a while.

At least I never told Rebecca that I was sick.

“that…”

Rebecca frowned as if she had nothing to say about it.

Now that the princess couldn’t even make eye contact with me because she was thinking of other excuses, it was an opportunity to continue the attack.

“I wonder if the person who came to the mansion of the fiancée to find out what the fiancé did not know is not disturbed. It seems that the meaning of the word disturbed in this world has changed.”

“····.”

“Isn’t that right? The fiancee, who was upset by the news that her fiance was ill, ran to her right away.”

“・・・・・・Ugh.”

Rebecca blushes even more than before when she hears my words go down to the roots.

It was clear that the cause of the redness that was blooming all over the face wasn’t just the heat generated when people were stuck together.

It was a one-sided pattern as usual.

When I spit out unfamiliar words, Rebecca blushes when she hears it. Such a one-sided pattern.

To be honest, I didn’t hate this one-sided situation.

Because it reminded me of the spirit of inquiry that a person’s face can turn red like that when he sees Rebecca blushing more and more every time he hears every sentence.

But, as if the words whip and carrot are not for nothing.

Sometimes, other than the usual one-sided pattern, there were times when I needed a pattern in a different way.

“It was because of my concerns.”

“······yes?”

“I’m afraid that my precious fiancee will catch a cold after coming to visit for nothing.”

“····.”

“That’s why I didn’t write in the letter that I had a cold.”

When I thought about it, the timing was now, no matter how much I think about it.

This situation is different from the usual peaceful situation.

This is the first time Rebecca has directly revealed her sincere anger or jealousy.

This situation where Rebecca, who used to be shy to take it down even when she was carrying me after the hunting contest, is quietly hugging me.

It was clear that there was no better timing than now.

Contrary to the previous pattern of never admitting my faults and trying to somehow win over Rebecca, the world became ugly.

Quite the opposite pattern that admits wrongdoing and clearly explains why I did what I did.

This was a different pattern I was thinking of.

“Of course, I know my fiancee is much healthier than me, and even if I catch a cold, she won’t be as sick as me.”

“····.”

“Sometimes, even such a handsome fiancee will surely feel that she is a human after all. Can’t you just think of it as an old woman who is always worried about her fiance?”

The effect was quite immediate.

Because Rebecca was at a loss for what to do with my sincere words approaching directly.

He must have been confused.

Because when he skips my question and asks the other way around, he would have expected me to show a look of embarrassment or brazenness.

It is natural for people to panic if their predictions or predictions are wrong.

It would also be natural for the princess in my arms to look cuter than usual.

“Now it’s the princess’ turn to answer.”

“····.”

“Worried?”

Now it was Rebecca’s turn to answer my questions.

“·······I don’t really need to answer that…”

It was Rebecca, who expressed the negative answer by shaking her head, as if she didn’t want to answer very much.

“Didn’t I diligently answer the princess’s question too?”

“····.”

“The only heir to the Valencia duke, the princess-sama, would think of running away just by telling her…”

“I will answer you.”

I was provoked by me for changing the pattern back to the original state, so I declared that I would answer right away.

“······I did.”

“Yes? I can’t hear you well.”

“I was worried… I did.”

“I still can’t hear you well.”

“····.”

It was a lie.

In fact, I had already heard the correct answer that he was worried about me.

But suddenly pretending to be a person with poor hearing just because I can’t hear it.

“····.”

When I saw Rebecca’s hands trembling as if they couldn’t stand it any longer, I expected it to explode soon.

If I stimulated myself a little more, I think I would be able to witness the cutest fiancee in the world.

He was making fun of Rebecca by acting that was not even on sale.

“······I did.”

“Yes?”

“Worried! I did!”

These predictions soon turned out to be correct.

“The person who wrote nothing about a cold in the letter sent to me! When I heard from my mother, I was seriously ill with a cold!”

“····.”

“I’m worried about that! He came to see me like this!”

Of course, the variable was that the burst level was much larger than I expected.

“················································ sides.

In conclusion, I succeeded in witnessing the cute side of Rebecca’s world, so it was as if I had achieved my goal.

“…are you kidding me?”

When I burst out laughing, Rebecca hardens her expression and gives me a cold look.

Maybe that wasn’t the case either.

He must have been so ashamed of himself a while ago that he wanted to get out of this embarrassing situation by making the atmosphere as cold as before.

As a matter of fact, it was a good and wise decision like a Princess Munchkin.

“My fiancée was worried about me. How can this be funny?”

“····.”

It was just that, as always, the opponent was not good.

“Everyone in this mansion told me that they cared about me so much that even the saint who was waiting outside could hear me.”

What fiancé could laugh at a situation like this.

“····.”

Rebecca heard everything I said and dyed her face red once again.

I hugged such a princess for a while and watched.

“······· Princess, do you like me?”

He spit out words so that at first glance, he felt indifferent, and at first glance, he felt cold.

“······· I don’t like it.”

Rebecca answered that she didn’t like me after a while, although I expected it roughly.

It hurt me a little.

Of course, I didn’t think it was going to be successful from the beginning.

It was also true that what I expected and experienced was a little different.

“I can’t understand why the person who came running to me in a month after hearing that my fiancée caught a cold doesn’t like my fiancée…”

“····.”

“it’s okay.”

“·······What is okay?”

I said I don’t like you, but that’s okay.

The sentence actually said was short, but the short sentence contained this content.

“In the end, I will make the words I love come out of the mouth of my beloved fiancée. It doesn’t really matter.”

“…it will never happen…”

“Well, I don’t know if that will ever happen.”

“····.”

Rebecca can’t keep up the rebuttal as if she can’t say for sure that it won’t happen either.

Even just looking at Rebecca’s appearance, it was clear who the winner and loser of this match would be.

“······What is it.”

“Because I still have a cold feeling. My body is trembling.”

I hugged the future loser a little more.

“······· They look really sick, so you know how to look after them.”

“If I could be treated like this because I was sick, I would want to be sick for the rest of my life.”

“····.”

If you don’t speak Rebecca was looking at me pathetic with that expression, but she didn’t refuse to be held by me.

I hugged Rebecca like that for quite some time, until the thought that Estelle was waiting outside came to mind again.
