I Became the Childhood Friend of the Northern Duchess chapter 104

104 – Princess’ request

Although not everyone in the hall saw the scene, most people had to assume they did.

Even those who did not see it in person must have heard what others were saying, so it is the same as proclaiming it to all the participants present here.

“Just now, Princess… … !? My, did I see it correctly?”

“right! I saw it clearly… … !”

Thanks to that, the venue was literally a crucible of chaos.

Some of the people who saw the two having a friendly conversation had vaguely expected them to be in a romantic relationship, but that was it, and engaging in lip smacking in front of others was a different story.

It wasn’t that the man standing next to Ariel pushed it recklessly, on the contrary, that Ariel tugged on his necktie first and kissed him.

If he went back to his parents’ house and recounted the situation he had just seen, he would surely be beaten.

It was such an unrealistic sight.

“… I’m really sorry about this. My lover is so fickle. I’m not sure if you’re surprised.”

Even in this chaotic situation, only Edgar remained calm.

It’s not yesterday or today that Ariel suddenly does this or that.

Of course, I was quite surprised, but it was only for a moment, and now I was rather worried about the people around me.

Raffy and Arrill shook their heads hurriedly, who were overshadowed by his act of handing out an apology with a smile on their face.

It definitely felt like my heart was pounding and sinking, but I couldn’t say it right away.

At times like these, I had no choice but to smile and congratulate the relationship between the two.

“Oh, no… ! Although I was a little surprised… … .”

“Sah, you get along very well. two minutes. When I saw them, I thought they were a good pair.”

“I’m glad. by the way… … .”

Edgar smiled wryly as he looked down at Ariel, who was about a head shorter than himself.

He pretends to be as calm as possible, but he must be feeling like he wants to hide somewhere in a rat hole right now.

It seemed better to get out of this place and calm her down first.

“Ariel, isn’t it about time to go see Her Highness?”

“Uh, huh? Ah, uh… That’s right.”

It would be absurd to go to meet Yulken at an untimely coming-of-age ceremony, but there could be no better excuse than this.

Ariel also noticed his intentions and sympathized with him in a rather blunt tone.

“You have business left. Sorry, we caught on… … .”

“no. It’s because we just came up with it. We’ll see you again later if we can afford it.”

As Edgar smiled and gently hugged Ariel’s shoulders and turned around, Raffy, who was watching this, had no choice but to let the two of them go, even though he had a sad expression on his face.

It might be fortunate if you think that you had to give up early, but I really liked the first impression of him, so a piece of regret remains.

Even so, I never dreamed of looking at a tree I couldn’t climb.

“Eh, Dad said you should drink at times like this! Let’s go, Raffy!”

“yes.”

Still, having a friend to comfort you was very helpful at times like this.

Leaving behind the two who had disappeared, Raffy quietly followed Arrill.

Though it was a bit bitter, I think it was not a bad meeting.

* * * * * * *

Edgar led Ariel to the balcony a little far from the hall.

Although most of the castle is now open, it was perfect for the two of them to be alone, as they had to go through the corridors that only members of the Loveheim family could come and go.

Ariel’s cheeks illuminated by the moonlight were less reddish than before.

He was still avoiding his lover’s gaze because he was embarrassed by what he had done, but Edgar expected that this was enough to talk.

“You did it very grandly.”

“Ooh, noisy. I am ashamed too.”

“Ugh… How can you not change?”

He would have looked cool if he had done it and remained calm, but on the contrary, he was ashamed to the point of regretting his actions, to the point of feeling sorry for Edgar who was watching.

However, due to Ariel’s personality, even if it’s embarrassing, she won’t regret it.

He knew better than anyone that dwelling on the past was not in line with her personality.

“Is there a reason?”

“What, why?”

“So you did that… Oh, was it too rude to ask this?”

Edgar, who was curious about the psychology of Ariel, who had caused such a major accident, asked a question, but soon he was able to guess it to some extent, so he raised the question.

To begin with, she is quite jealous.

There was a time when I was jealous of him talking to Sylvia, and there was even a time when Shuri almost became a target.

Edgar knew this too, so he guessed that something had upset her in the conversation with the other women.

But I couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

“Well, not at all… … .”

“If there is no reason, it is strange as there is no reason. Blow the truth.”

“… That too.”

If she doesn’t give any reason to the subject of lip smacking in front of others, isn’t that just a slut?

Of course Edgar didn’t think that far, but at least Ariel’s values were like that.

That said, ‘Your lips looked appetizing.’ It’s impossible for even the same grubby men to stir up nonsense that they won’t put in their mouths.

Ariel, who had pursed her lips at Edgar’s words of agreement, cautiously raised her eyes and looked up at him.

Edgar could guess what that gesture meant, so he reached out his arms and hugged her gently without saying a word.

“… just got jealous what’s bad?”

Edgar patted her on the back with a smile on his blunt tone.

It was expected anyway. I was just curious about the detailed reason for being the center of it.

“Who said it was bad? But what are you so jealous of?”

“That light green haired woman… What did you say your name was?”

“Well… Was it Princess Ailegran? I forgot the name.”

Edgar tends to memorize other people’s names as well as possible, but thanks to the shock that hit his brain a moment ago, only Raffy’s family name remained in his memory.

But Ariel smiled proudly as if she liked that.

It’s useless to remember the other woman’s name anyway, and I’d rather get rid of it quickly from my brain.

“Anyway, the way she looked at you was strange.”

“yes? I didn’t notice.”

I heard that he had a somewhat shy personality, but he hadn’t even thought of Edgar that far.

In response, Ariel glared at him with a brief sigh, as if she hadn’t expected it, and replied with a sharp shot.

“You’re an idiot, so it’s only natural that you don’t notice.”

“Hey, do I get hurt too?”

“Hey, take it if you want it. It’s true anyway.”

Provoking him by sticking out her tongue, Ariel put her forehead on his chest and thumped her a couple of times.

Even so, Edgar didn’t even move because it was an attack that was a little more than the level of a newborn puppy.

Ariel didn’t mean to be sick in the first place, so it shouldn’t have mattered.

“Ah, anyway, I think I was hasty this time too… Say no more, it’s embarrassing.”

“How could someone so shy do such a thing?”

“Mo, what should I do when my body went out first!”

On the contrary, Ariel screamed and made an excuse saying, “Did you do it because you wanted to?”

In this situation, people in the world express it as a red flag, but in Edgar’s eyes, it looked very cute.

No matter what you do, being jealous is proof of affection.

Although jealousy is not necessarily a positive emotion, and it may be dangerous if it crosses the line, it was Edgar who believed that he had to control it by his side.

“Anyway, thanks to you, there’s nothing to announce separately, right? What do you think is good?”

Edgar grabbed her by the cheeks, made her look at him, and smiled happily.

In any case, one cumbersome process is reduced.

Of course, although the process was somewhat shocking, the result would not be bad.

“yes… I committed it out of anger, but I have no regrets.”

“Well, that is you.”

After spilling the water, hitting the ground and regretting it is not Ariel Loveheim’s behavior.

Moreover, even the worry that Edgar had in mind was gone.

In his heart, when he announced their relationship, he worried unnecessarily that those around him would consider it a lie.

I heard that there were a lot of love letters and confrontation proposals that came to Ariel, so I wonder if there will be rumors that they are making up by bringing in the successor of a subordinate family to get rid of them.

However, since he made such a strong impression, I thought that such words would go awry.

If rumors continue to spread even after doing this, it’s just people who like to criticize others, making gossip like they always do, so you can just ignore it.

“Anyway, did you know this?”

“What?”

What did you know?

The surprising fact that she is impatient?

Or are you saying that jealousy and possessiveness are multiplied by others?

Edgar tilted his head, unable to come up with an appropriate answer even after summarizing the questions that came to his mind.

At this, the shy expression from a moment ago was gone, and Ariel broke away from his arms and crossed her arms with a triumphant expression in reply.

“You can’t even go to other girls anymore. Since I showed you that scene, now you have no one to accept you but me.”

“… what the.”

What kind of confessions are there in the world?

After kissing in front of other people and having such an ugly experience, you shouldn’t even think about being around other women.

It would have been cool if he proudly claimed that it was his own.

Although it was cute on the one hand to convey the words not to go around others like this.

“don’t worry. I won’t even dream of it.”

“Don’t even look at me. Understand?”

Not even talking to her would have been incredibly difficult, but this immature princess went a step further and demanded that she not even look at her.

“… that’s a bit.”

“Well then, at least don’t smile. I can’t yield any more!”

Ariel draws the line early saying that there is no room for compromise anymore.

When Edgar asked if Sylvia and Shuri were exceptions just in case, they nodded, as if they had no intention of pointing that out.

In the end, all of a sudden, Edgar decides on a course of action by not smiling at other women.

Although the future was only bleak, he gently hugged Ariel, promising that he would do it somehow.

‘Come to think of it, what about the story about the maid?’

One thing that was certain was that his life would not be perfect the moment he brought up the story.

I told Yulken that I would give an answer as soon as possible, but it seems that I will have to delay it a little longer.

Believing firmly that he would understand the situation he was in, Edgar decided to talk to Ariel on the day she seemed to be in a good mood.
