137 – Today, as always
The impressions of the visitors who witnessed the amazing sight were as follows.
“Isn’t this the only difference between a pre-wedding ceremony… hahahaha.”
“That’s right. princess… No, who would have known that His Highness would be so active.”
“After that, her shy appearance seemed to be looking at my granddaughter.
No one uttered bitter words, saying that the act of kissing in the middle of a solemn ceremony was frivolous.
Of course, it was important that this place was the homeroom of the Loveheim family, but in their eyes, it was just a cute girl overflowing with possessiveness.
Most of the people who attended this event were the heads of their respective families, or even had at least one or two children of their own age.
“When I was young, I couldn’t be so active… Young people these days are full of energy.”
“I mean. I thought that it was only good for men to be active, but when I saw it, somehow my heart was pounding. It’s a staple at this age.”
“What is your age? We are still in the middle of the day.”
This positive response was not limited to men.
The hostesses of each family, who always like to gather and chat in the social world, were also feeling the excitement of childhood at the sight they had just seen.
In particular, some of them reflected on themselves for not being a little more active with their current husbands when they were dating.
I must say that today I realized that I can’t just sit still and wait.
“When I go back to my parents’ house, I have to tell my daughter about what happened today. How many times have you complained that the man you liked recently appeared… … .”
If Ariel had heard it, she would have said never to tell it and stopped it by dragging it by the crotch of her pants, but unfortunately she didn’t exist here and there was no way to stop it.
She just has to shut herself up in the castle, not knowing that her actions will be passed down like a saga.
Meanwhile, at the words of the Lepenia family’s wife, the pale blonde woman came forward to say that she was right.
It happened that her daughter-in-law had recently said something similar.
“It seems that Mrs. Lepenia is the same.”
“Oh, then Mrs. Bendit too… … ?”
“Don’t talk. Recently, I went on a trip with my father to say hello to a family I had a close relationship with, and the bean pods were very tightly covered.”
Women are always sincere when it comes to dating, no matter how old they are.
Especially if it’s a story that evokes a consensus.
As the hostesses of each family began to chatter about their daughters and the love stories they had experienced in their childhood, the atmosphere naturally turned into a friendly one.
Despite the fact that most of them are not very familiar with them.
Whether Ariel wanted it or not, thanks to her, a conversation blossomed among the rather awkward guests.
Even though the subject of the story was likely to be one she did not really want, wouldn’t it be important that the air became lively anyway?
* * * * * * *
Ariel sincerely thought that this time she had no regrets for her actions.
There was a feeling that he had committed it out of anger, but through this, he was known to the whole world as his unwavering own, so it would be a good deal. I really thought so.
“Wow, Ariel. nice to see you! You were very bold today, aren’t you?”
“… … .”
However, not thinking about the variable in front of my eyes is the only thing I regret.
“… Where did you leave your love?”
“yes? I asked to wait outside for a while. That’s what I did, so it’s not embarrassing to see each other.”
“Chit.”
Ariel lightly clicked her tongue at Sylvia’s act of showing off her consideration in useless things.
At least, if Hagel was by her side, she would have had a glimmer of hope that he would stop her.
But now that even that hope was shattered, there was no one around who could be trusted. The reason is that… … .
“So Edgar, how are you feeling?”
“That, well… … .”

Like this, even Edgar was Sylvia’s target today, so he couldn’t ask for his help.
“If you’re here to tease, just go back quickly. I will have to see my father soon, and there is a mountain of work to do.”
There was no schedule after the fact.
Only then, when a modest place is created tonight, will I greet the guests visiting today as the owner of the grand duke’s family, but until then, I was planning to catch my breath for a while.
However, knowing that Sylvia wouldn’t be able to return easily if she didn’t do this, Ariel faked the schedule and made it hard.
“Ah, Ariel too. Why are people you know doing this?”
Despite this, Sylvia only took one step closer to her with a smirk.
“Ah, what do you know? Why don’t you go out? Did I say I was busy?”
Even though he thought it was an amazing move, it wasn’t eaten. On the contrary, when Sylvia’s confident smile deepened, Ariel naturally shrank.
That expression, as if he had one last chance to believe in, was uneasy.
“Hee hee, I knew that, so I asked Shuri, who was standing outside… I heard you don’t have any plans from now to night?”
“… … !?”
Ariel’s eyes widened at the dagger stabbing into her chest, and unconsciously moved her gaze towards the door behind Sylvia.
I could have known that it would come out like this and confirmed the schedule with Shuri early.
She was always one step ahead in strange places.
Her guess was that if she had used that outstanding intelligence for something else, she might have already achieved an achievement that would overturn the country once.
“Are you trying to make more excuses?”
“Eww… … .”
‘Please accept my teasing.’ Ariel gritted her teeth with a sorrowful expression at her gesture.
At this rate, she would have been fooled by her until nightfall, but the problem was that she was a guest when she issued a congratulatory order for no reason.
No matter what the current situation was, since Ariel had come to congratulate her on the long-awaited succession ceremony, Ariel had a duty to treat her well.
Just as Ariel was about to declare defeat, Edgar suddenly intervened between them.
“Stop teasing other people’s lovers, and since it’s been a long time, why don’t we go together when we go to the imperial palace?”
“sulfur… palace?”
“What do you mean, the imperial palace?”
The two tilted their heads without saying who was first.
Suddenly, I wondered what the imperial palace meant, but Ariel had heard it, so she quickly understood the meaning behind it.
“Actually, an edict came down a while ago. That’s why I had to stop by the imperial palace.”
“If it’s an edict… You mean a letter arrived directly from His Majesty the Emperor?”
“That’s it.”
When Sylvia looked at him in disbelief, Edgar smiled awkwardly and scratched his cheek.
As the incident in Whitewood spread, it also reached the Emperor’s ears.
In the meantime, he personally sent an imperial edict saying that his name as the emperor would cry only if he did not congratulate the man who saved the grand duke of the empire.
Not too long ago, Edgar received an embarrassing reward from Yulken for his non-professional peddling.
“Anyway, I’m going to go right after this succession ceremony, so if it’s okay, I think it would be nice to go with you and Prince Hagel.”
During the coming-of-age ceremony, there was something that Ariel couldn’t keep his promise to Sylvia, so Edgar thought that this would be a compromise between them.
From Ariel’s point of view, being able to keep that promise even now, and above all, being able to get out of this situation right away was a huge advantage.
From Sylvia’s point of view, of course, Hespania is good, but it would be fun to spend time with friends in the busiest city in the country.
“yes! Shall we go! But did Ariel allow it?”
“I’ll have to ask that from now on. how?”
Edgar asked just in case, but he knew deep down that Ariel would not be able to refuse.
“… Heh, even if you don’t like it, you’ll follow me.”
Ariel, whose pride was hurt by even allowing it, pouted her lips and muttered curtly.
When Sylvia smiled innocently as if she had been caught, Ariel shook her head as if she had given up and told her to take care of herself.
Even though tonight was going to be more tiring than this, she felt as if her eyes were closing due to the already overwhelming fatigue.
“Once we’ve done this, let’s go. I want to talk with Prince Hagel.”
Edgar, noticing this, secretly led Sylvia to leave the room, but Ariel tried to manage her expression as if she wasn’t tired.
Even so, the dark energy that fills the eyelids says, ‘I’m tired.’ I was clearly expressing it.
“What about Ariel?”
“You should get some rest. Now that you have become His Highness the Grand Duke, what a mountain of work you have to do in the future.”
“but.”
The two giggled and left the words to rest and turned around and left the room.
On the way, Ariel tried to stop her by saying that she could stay longer, but she couldn’t bear it because her eyelids were slowly closing, and she had no choice but to go to bed.
‘I wonder if that guy told Shuri.’
She should have left a message to Shuri, who was standing outside, asking her to wake up before it was too late, but as soon as Ariel lay down on the bed, she felt that even that was becoming a nuisance.
Believing that the man full of meticulousness in a futile place had managed to give Shuri a word, he closed his eyes and became calm as if he had embraced the whole world in his arms.
‘Something was different from usual.’
Ariel touched his lips unconsciously, remembering the kiss he had.
If it was something warmer and sweeter than usual, at that moment it felt like my lips were on fire.
It was a similar feeling at the coming-of-age ceremony, but today was a little more intense than then.
‘for a moment. Come to think of it, I have to meet them tonight.’
Continuing her thoughts like that, Ariel suddenly realized that she had to laugh and talk with the witnesses who watched the scene a while ago.
It’s just amazing that I realized this now in the first place. Maybe the head was trying hard to forget the fact about this.
phut!
In the end, she decided to not be ashamed today and be proud of her actions, but she kicked the blanket off again.
Even so, it was not possible to erase the actions of the past.
