Chapter 467
Meanwhile.
Asha, who entered the hall, still frowned upon hearing the nobles gossip.
“what do you think?”
“well? As expected, that child of the Pernil family... isn\'t it unreliable?”
“I mean.”
You\'re still saying things like that. don\'t you have anything to do
A sigh came out.
Even if it\'s not, it\'s a little complicated in my head.
‘...Should I take a look?\'
She tried to stay still, but she wasn\'t in a good mood for that now.
It wouldn\'t be good to leave it as it is.
It might be better to step up and talk to them and give them subtle attention.
I have seen what the lord or his wife do all the time, so I know what to do.
Apparently.....
Asha cleared her throat silently.
“Oh…
the moment I was about to intervene.
“What a strange banquet. Besides the sound of music, I can hear the sounds of miscellaneous animals.”
Then she noticed something odd and stopped speaking.
voice now? who?
“I definitely thought it was a place to celebrate the two young people, but wasn’t it?
Or is that just your level of culture? I don\'t know because I\'m too lazy to go out.”
The complexion of the aristocrats who had been gossiping turned white at the words that blatantly criticized their attitude.
No matter how brazen they may be, they don\'t have the guts to maintain that attitude in front of him now.
“Why don’t you guys say it again? I was just bored. Why don\'t we have fun talking to each other?”
Arel, who didn\'t even know when he approached, smiled pretentiously and narrowed the distance even more as if he wanted to talk more.
Each time they take a step closer, they hesitate a few steps.
“Ah…. I suddenly felt hungry.
“I think I drank too much too!”
“I suddenly want to get some fresh air.”
The nobles dispersed in blatantly questionable movements.
And Arel muttered, “I don’t have ambition,” and just sips the alcohol in the glass as if regretting it.
“Whew? It\'s quiet now! hmm!
Well done!”
And he puts on a refreshing expression as if he is proud of himself.
But his smile was only fleeting.
Asha approached silently and stood behind Arel\'s back.
“…Arell-sama?”
Unlike just a moment ago, I called his name with the nuance that he had a lot to say.
“Why are you here now?”
Why is this person here now?
I wanted to ask.
No, this is what you should ask before that.
“...Since when have you been here?”
The voice that came out of Asha\'s mouth was quite colder than I thought.
After cleaning up the atmosphere and staying in a fresh mood, Asha, who has just returned, calls me.
Rather than saying he was angry, he seems to have a lot of questions because he is so embarrassed.
Well... I understand.
“...Since when have you been here?”
“Hmm, that’s… that’s a good question.
A very important question. It is also a very important question.”
“Don’t say anything else.”
Ashagi, who clearly knows my personality, takes a strong stand at times like this.
“Actually, it is.”
“yes.”
“It has been there since the beginning.”
Asha\'s expression hardened.
Are you thinking about the meaning of ‘from the beginning\'?
“no way??????
Asha averts her gaze slightly.
where her mother is.
Asha\'s mother looked this way, spotted us, and averted her gaze.
It\'s a reaction to grabbing something without fail.
What do you do?
“Did that happen?”
Asha grabs her head and groans.
finally noticed
“Yeah, actually, before you came to your hometown, I visited your hometown once.”
Before Asha, I had several conversations with her family.
And the moment Asha came, I hid in a corner of the mansion.
After that, when moving, I moved by sneaking along.
It\'s Asha\'s defeat.
Since when have you been careless that I won\'t follow you?
since when?
If there\'s anything interesting, I\'ll chase it to the ends of hell.
Actually, when you arrived, I talked to your mother about everything! He even gave me a present!
Ahahahahahahahaha!
I laughed.... I shut my mouth at Asha\'s cold gaze.
“Didn’t you say you couldn’t come?”
“Nothing is impossible for me.”
“What about official duties?”
“It’s okay.”
It always happens.
And I\'m always confident
“Come to think of it, I think it’s human duty to come and congratulate me too, right?”
“Then why didn’t you come with me from the beginning?”
“Ah... that\'s the case, but for some reason, should I say that this side is more like me or that it\'s fun?”
For once, I was puzzled.
If I had to argue, there were other reasons, but that was because I didn\'t bother to tell her.
So I deliberately changed the subject.
“Asha seems to have been away for quite a while. Who was she with?”
“Yeah, looking at it… Oh my? What about that young lady?”
“Hmm??????
Asha looked around for the woman she had been talking to before, but she was nowhere to be found.
“...I must have jumped out because I thought things were twisted.”
“yes\'?”
“No, I think he went out to get some fresh air. I see you\'re confused Why don\'t you know how to say hello?”
Moderately evasive, I glanced out of the hall.
I know who was there anyway, where they went and what they talked about.
And what the intention is.
done.
That year is later.
Apparently, how much I rolled my head, I could hear a very brain-rolling sound in my ears.
Like Pena said once before, it\'s a very bad rumor...
well, there\'s no rumor when it\'s not.
‘Then what should I do?\'
I was conscious of the gaze around me.
Indeed, there are quite a few points of view.
Most of them are close to envy and jealousy.
Iret has no intention of helping with the gaze directed at the little boy.
It\'s a challenge that kid has to overcome anyway.
That\'s why Iret is also responding to the customers in her own way.
This is not going to help.
but.
‘Is the rest for Asha...?\'
As soon as I reveal my face, curiosity and jealousy turn to Asha.
I guess so.
No matter how close I am, I step directly into the auspicious spot in her family.
Is it a good material to have various delusions?
“Hmm?”
“...Why are you doing that, Mr. Arell?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
Maybe Asha pretends not to know, but she must be aware of that level of gaze.
I\'m just pretending not to be conscious.
‘Anyway. It\'s because he\'s quite nice.\'
I don\'t know when I\'m working, but I don\'t have to be conscious of this side until this happens.
“...Why are you suddenly looking at me with pity?”
“Because it’s nothing.”
“…It looks like something is wrong.”
Glancing at the distraught Asha, I looked around again.
The gaze is appropriate.
Is the timing also right?
“…Yes, you mean responsibility, right?”
“yes?”
“There is such a thing.”
I\'m sorry to today\'s protagonists, but I\'m going to create a slightly different topic for today.
And just as the offering arrived.
Chestel Selfradil, who had been talking strange nonsense to our escort a while ago, had returned.
You must have thought that being harmed was a limit.
Did you just come back after thinking about how to make an excuse?
Chestel deliberately pretended to be in a hurry, trotted this way and greeted me.
“I never expected to see you in a place like this.”
“This one too. I could never have thought that the Principality of Ruin and the Karet family would be familiar.”
“It\'s a coincidence or something.”
“Yeah, that\'s really weird.”
what is coincidence
He pretends not to know, but only recently did he know that the Principality of Ruin had used his strength to deliberately strike up a deal.
That\'s why Marquis Karet was a little embarrassed to have noticed and tried to ask me for advice.
Perhaps he too will soon give up on dealings with that place.
More than anything, it is decisive that it irritates my eyes.
Whether you know that fact or not...
What happened? that\'s later
“Rather, I thought Arell-nim would come here himself. I thought you would care for your subordinates more than rumors.”
“Hmm… Load it… Does it look like that?”
“Yes, I heard that, unlike other nobles, Arell is fair to his subordinates and is considerate of each one of them.”
Say those words in front of our technicians who are rolling hard today.
I think it\'s probably about three hits on the cheek with a tool.
“No, these are exaggerated rumors. I\'m not very considerate to that extent.”
“Oh, you are embarrassed.”
no is that true? what is caring
I always only know myself
Rather, if I\'m selfish, I\'m confident that I can beat anyone in the world.
Seeing how this young lady deliberately emphasized topics such as being subordinate and caring, it seemed that I wanted to emphasize that my being here had no other meaning.
“Yes? Ms. Asha?”
And it seemed like he was trying to make it clear by talking to Asha on purpose.
Of course, if you ask me, I will say yes.
It was aimed at because he clearly knew her personality.
It\'s dirty.
....That must be the nobles\' way.
To be honest, I was more shocked than angry.
I don\'t know if I\'d rather have a heart.
How funny.
Then I\'ll... do what I always do.
“Of course...
Of course, Asha was trying to affirm this lady\'s intentions.
“Not quite like that. rather more special. It\'s hard to think of it simply as a subordinate.”
That\'s when I cut off Asha\'s words.
on purpose anyway.
I\'m sorry, is it Asha? It may be a bit embarrassing, but bear with it.
This is all about wanting to like you and me.
“So it\'s Asha\'s family business, so I\'m coming myself. Usually, the master cannot come directly to the slopes of other subordinates. Isn\'t it?”
“?...yes?”
By the way, this voice is not Chestel, but Asha.
You must have never thought that I would come out like this all of a sudden.
Also, the surroundings were noisy as if they were listening to our conversation.
Usually, it\'s a subordinate.
I already know what kind of rumors are going around.
Humans are delusional creatures.
More than anything, I like to throw that delusion away.
Whether that\'s true or not doesn\'t matter.
listen carefully.
Scandals don\'t explode.
I\'m going to explode myself.
“Oh, I see! It means that Arel cares for Miss Asha! It\'s a precious subordinate!”
Chestel\'s expression hardened a little, he tried to gloss over it, but he couldn\'t.
It\'s because the person in question, not anyone else, is pouring out positive words.
And as if on purpose, I clung to Asa.
Enough of any misunderstanding.
“yes. Sometimes I\'m afraid that my wife will be jealous. Even if you want to take care of everyone, it\'s not that easy. I got scolded quite a while ago.”
“Ah… is that so…
Chestel couldn’t speak for a while, perhaps because he thought he was completely out of control.
“By the way, what was the young lady talking about with Asha a moment ago? It looks like they\'ve become close friends?”
“Ah.... It\'s nothing special! I\'m sorry I had other business a while ago, but I think I\'ll have to move away!”
It jumps out as if it didn\'t want to.
Now that things have gone this far, it won\'t be easy for that young lady to talk openly in front of me.
