The day started off like any other day.
My father had gone, saying he had to visit a social gathering among nobles in the capital, and Lariette had also been away for a while, saying she was having an affair.
I was lying in my room folding origami cranes.
The thought of making a wish has long since disappeared. But he said there was nothing he could do because he had nothing to do.
It was time to throw the fifth paper crane on the floor with a mechanical movement.
“Miss. His Highness Klaus is visiting.”
Belle, who opened the door and came in, had a bright smile on her face.
Before I could ask, Belle lifted me up from the sofa and sat me in front of the dressing table.
“Now, lady. Now that His Highness Klaus has arrived, it’s time to show off my skills!”
“Can’t we just leave like this?”
“What are you talking about, lady? You were lying down a while ago, and your hair is a mess.”
“Isn’t this enough to just brush your hair a few times?”
“Oh my, miss, even a joke.”
Was it my imagination that Belle’s hand movements combing my hair were strong?
“You can roughly do it.”
“Roughly speaking? How can you do that when His Highness Klaus is visiting, young lady? There are degrees of shame!”
No, it’s not shameful, it’s just annoying… … .
But I gave up on explaining.
Boy, I’m sure he’s thinking about how much his Highness Klaus is punishing me today too.
I advised Belle, who rolled up my head.
“Bell, don’t expect too much.”
“A vain expectation?”
“I tried making a wish, but it didn’t work on His Highness Klaus.”
“Miss! Are you making a wish for things to go well with His Highness Klaus?”
Oops, I didn’t mean to say this.
I tapped my mouth, but Belle was already giving me a sparkling look.
Hey, Bell. How far has our progress gone in your delusions?
Is it my imagination that the look in your eyes makes me feel like I’m already holding hands?
“That’s not it. Anyway, just guide me.”
I couldn’t and didn’t need to explain even the smallest details to Belle anyway.
“I’ve only done the hair yet!”
“We can’t keep His Highness Klaus waiting, can we?”
“Oh my, that’s right! I didn’t think of that.”
Belle laughed loudly as she said that.
“As expected, young lady. You said that and were paying attention. I trusted you.”
I gave up on the delusional Belle and decided to welcome Klaus’ sudden visit.
As Belle guided me out to the living room, I saw Klaus staring out the window.
I walked over to him and tapped the table.
“You said you were looking for me.”
“Ah, young lady.”
Klaus looked at me with a more tired face than usual.
His face always looked relaxed, but today it looked more like he didn’t want to think about anything rather than relaxed.
So I asked very awkwardly.
“What happened?”
“No, nothing special. I was just exhausted after having such a stupid conversation.”
“Stupid conversation?”
Let’s see. Were there any stupid conversations I had with Klaus?
Always smile leisurely when talking to me.
It was a person who had an expression like, ‘Yeah, everything you said is bullshit.’
‘How stupid of a conversation was that to look so tired?’
Or, on the contrary, did you have a very in-depth conversation about politics with a capable scholar?
But you don’t call that stupid conversation.
While I was completely lost, Klaus agreed to what I said.
“Yeah. What a stupid conversation that was, I’m sick of it.”
“I see.”
What does that have to do with you coming to see me?
Klaus must have seen my confused expression and smiled bitterly.
“I’m sorry. I was wondering where to start.”
“Would you like some tea?”
“Does the car know who we are?”
“Can’t I just put tea leaves in boiling water?”
Klaus shook his head with clouded eyes at my words.
sorry. I’ve only tried tea bag green tea.
As if trying to break the awkward silence, Klaus opened his mouth with difficulty.
No, it seemed a bit embarrassing.
“That… young lady.”
“yes.”
“Didn’t I tell you before that I believe that the Lady is not in cahoots with the devil?”
“Are you going to catch me again?”
Unbelievable! After all, you can’t trust humans!
I jumped up from the chair and slowly walked back.
If possible, I have to run away at a full sprint.
Klaus’ eyes frowned.
“Don’t waste your time, my lady.”
“Your Highness, do you have any settings that say you are weak to running?”
“I’m sure she’ll be better at running than Youngjae in any situation.”
“……When I go to prison, do you always feed me food?”
You really don’t want to feed Koreans, do you?
I looked at Klaus with blurry eyes and he shook his head.
“I’m not trying to kidnap you.”
“……sure?”
When you say you’re not trying to kidnap me, you mean you’re kidnapping someone, right? No, maybe that new bastard has already been discovered?
But if you think about it, it seems like you haven’t seen white for quite some time already?
Klaus let out a long sigh.
“I have something to ask the lady.”
“yes.”
“Have you ever thought that Lariette Sebes was suspicious?”
… … yes?
“No. This question wasn’t appropriate.”
No, what kind of transcendent development is this suddenly?
“Do you think Lariette Sebes is in collusion with the devil?”
Yeah, what?
Now it’s time to get the devil’s neurosis.
When I came to this world, I almost contracted two types of neurosis. One was a complete breakdown, but the difference was a neurosis, and the other was a devil, a devil, that damn devil!
At first they say I was in cahoots with the devil, and then the real devil shows up and grants my wish!
‘That’s enough, now your younger brother is the devil?’
It seemed like my expression wasn’t very good. Klaus smiled bitterly.
“I know. It’s a bit funny to ask a lady this question.”
“I’m glad you know.”
“But please understand my situation.”
“What are the circumstances?”
“Rudiet came to visit.”
What does Lariat and the devil have to do with Rudyatt’s visit?
Klaus slowly explained the situation to me who was so embarrassed that I couldn’t speak.
