“Um, I’m Anna Carroll!
Baroness Anna Carroll.
You can’t forget.
The last time you tried to forgive me with a smile of mercy for what I tried to do many times to harm you.
Though I have done nothing now, I cannot do what was not in me in the past.
When I put her in front of me, I feel ashamed that my ugliness in the past will be exposed.
Still, I shouldn’t turn away from that fact, and now I don’t want to be who I was.
Renew your resolve and stare straight at Baroness Carroll, later Virgin. And smile respectfully in your heart.
I’m Rachel Marcel.
When I name it, I look at those big eyes slightly open and look surprised.
But the look was for a moment, and I immediately let it shine and smile happily.
… I wonder what happened.
You looked surprised by something…
Maybe it was a mistake to look.
“Er-kun… you’re Ernesto’s cousin!
I want to get along, too. Please, call me Anna. ”
“… and Rachel said of me.”
Baroness Carroll…… Anna said, “Thank you, Mr. Rachel!,” she said cheerfully, taking my hand and squeezing it with both hands.
Huh?
Even though women hold hands with each other, they do not normally hold hands of those who are not so close to each other.
With her eyes round and surprised not to notice me, Ms. Anna is smiling at Nico.
Her Royal Highness cleverly leaves Anna’s hand untouched and smiles beautifully when she pulls my hand out.
“Miss Carroll, not much of that behavior is commendable.”
“Ah! I’m sorry…”
“No, because I was just surprised. Never mind.”
I rush to deny it to Anna, who seems sorry for dropping her shoulder.
“I’m from the country baron family and I was in the territory until I got into school, so… I have a slight neglect for aristocracy.
So there’s no special girl… ”
“Anna has a good personality and excellent grades. But it’s been a year since I’ve been in King’s Landing, so I’m often not used to it.”
“Yes, you are”
“Oh. That’s why I want Rachel to get along with Anna, too”
Ernesto stares at Anna. Her eyes are very sweet, and I can see how she cares very much.
Anna, next door, lowers her brow and stares at me with her moist eyes.
Ugh…
I knew it was like a small animal and cute.
You can’t be staring at me like this and not nodding.
“If only I were you”
“Wow! Thanks, Mr. Rachel!
Unexpectedly, Anna bursts with laughter as if she were about to jump on the spot and raise her voice of joy.
I knew you were cute.
Certainly may be the type not in the children of the aristocracy. But it looks like a marcel territory meena somewhere.
I can’t even tell you how honest I look on my face or how tough I feel when I think about it.
He said he had come to Wang Capital for a year, and he should learn more about the aristocratic society from now on.
… I would not have thought so if it had been before.
Though a baroness, if she is a nobleman, she must behave as representative of the house. I didn’t even try to have a conversation with someone who didn’t even have manners in a place called school.
But like Anna, we’re all growing up in different environments, and it’s important that we look at each and every one of them.
And manners and academics, this place is where you get what you need.
If you don’t understand those things, you’re wasting your time meeting different people.
… but.
I just felt a little uncomfortable earlier.
The Virgin in memory and she just don’t match up a little.
I think my friends were surrounded by people close to me, both men and women. I wonder if Ernesto and I were so close.
I’ve just never had a solid conversation with her because I was just jealously involved on my own before about it.
I wonder if that’s why it’s a question I feel.
Ah.
… No.
Do not imitate the Virgin in suspicion.
… it’s my fault, right?
I got a chance to be close to her.
We need to make an effort to make amends for the past that we have unilaterally hurt, so that we can have a new relationship.
His Royal Highness cuts out “it’s time” next to him who is so determined.
“Because it’s Rachel’s first day, and she’s not strong. Will you excuse me?”
“Sorry! I…”
“Never mind. We’ll talk about it again.”
“Yes!”
His Royal Highness does not glance at Anna, who seems sorry, but turns to the exit when she supports my hips.
Unexpectedly leaning his neck as he walks straight without turning around, with a rare, cold smile for His Highness.
“Your Highness, I’m fine…”
“That’ll be enough.”
“But the corner…”
Speaking to His Royal Highness in a low voice, His Highness replied with a picky and harsh voice.
His Royal Highness opened the exit door and when he passed me first, I could hear Batang, the door closing in silence.
Then His Highness put his hands on both shoulders and looked seriously as he stood facing me.
“I don’t want you to get too involved with her”
“Why?
“I don’t have a very good feeling.”
“Huh?”
The little voice that was bossy and squeaky didn’t reach my ear. Therefore, when asked back, His Highness shook his head as he lowered his eyebrows and laughed, “Never mind.”
Immediately back to the usual gentle grin,
“No. I’m glad you’re getting along with me, too.”
“Become, Your Highness!
“Ha, it’s true.
Come on, it’s getting late. I’ll take you to the carriage. ”
Her Royal Highness laughs joyfully at me for turning red unexpectedly at His Highness’s words.
His Royal Highness then urges me to walk out, but I’m worried about the back, and I look back at the door chilling.
Beyond the glass door, Ernest and Anna looked small having a conversation.
But no voice leaked through the closed door.
“Hey, Elle. Is Mr. Rachel weak?
“Uh, I guess it feels sick. I’m fine now, but your Highness seems to be overprotective.”
“Phew. Did you set that up?
… In the meantime, you should get close to the villain’s warrant and find out. ”
“Did I say something?
“Yeah! Anything!
