84 – Two lovers heading to Ettle
Ariel’s exclusive maid, Shuri, has a lover who has been with her for quite a long time.
His name is Ronan Billiard.
He is the biological son of Lee, who is currently in charge of the gardener of the grand duke’s family. Although he has a rather blunt personality, he is kind on the inside, so he tends to yield most of the work to Shuri and be considerate.
One day when the weather was very sunny, he was called out after receiving a sudden call.
Today, as well as being taught by my father, I was in the middle of looking after the flowers in the garden.
In the meantime, seeing a white blooming bryonia, the face of a lover suddenly came to mind, and Shuri visited while thinking of giving a present.
Shuri, who called him out by rolling her feet for no particular reason, looked especially excited today.
Originally, Ronan also had work to do, so he couldn’t bear to step out, but with his father’s permission, she eventually changed clothes and left the castle, and she was waiting for her in plain clothes.
Since there are so many things to meet in the castle, most of them see each other in their work clothes, but once again, their plain clothes were beautiful in his eyes.
“What is it?”
Since he has a personality that doesn’t show his emotions on the outside, Ronan always asks about business in a rather blunt tone today.
However, Shuri was already in a state of adaptation, so she started running around in place with a smile on her face.
“Actually, today the young lady went to Ettle with the young master.”
“Ettle?”
Ronan tilted his head at the familiar name.
It was a famous tourist attraction, and it was also a place the two of them had already been to together.
However, I wondered if the love and the young lady of the Loveheim family had anything to do with the fact that they left the castle early.
It’s not like I’m going to follow you and keep an eye on you.
“yes! So I thought it might be a good idea to follow along!”
“… … .”
Did you really think so?
Blaming himself for making fun of Shuri, Ronan raised his hand to his forehead.
‘Sorry, lady.’
To think that he did this because he neglected the education of his childhood friend and now lover.
Ronan expressed his apologies to Ariel, who couldn’t even hear it inside, and opened his mouth with the feeling of trying to find out.
“Do you know where you went?”
“Ehehehe, there are ways!”
“… … ?”
How could he know unless he had at least a location tracking magic attached to his body?
However, Ronan knew better than anyone that she was not the type to show unfounded confidence, so on the other hand, I wondered what the plan was.
Sensing his questionable eyes, Shuri shrugged her shoulders with her petite body, and then took out a piece of paper.
“A place to go in Ettle… … ?”
Ronan’s head tilted to one side as he read aloud what was written in the largest print on the top of the paper.
Shuri continues her explanation with an arrogant expression and a raised nose, as if to listen carefully.
If Ariel had seen this, she would have punished her, saying that she felt bad for some reason.
“I wrote the same content and delivered it to the lady. hehehe, he’s probably going like this, so you can follow him!”
“It looks like it just jumped out of the boat.”
Ronan shook his head with a puzzled expression.
What would you do if you were caught?
Even if he didn’t get caught, what the hell was the meaning of this was the biggest question.
Above all, did I finish the job properly?
Even though he’s usually clumsy, he thinks he’s quite thorough when he’s working, but Ronan’s anxiety didn’t go away easily.
“Did you get permission? work?”
“Did the lady tell you to rest?”
“ah… … .”
Then Ronan let out a low sigh at the thought that there was nothing he could do about it.
If the owner told you to rest, resting is the right thing to do.
At least if it was an ordinary maid, in the case of an exclusive lady-in-waiting, the words of the person in charge weighed more than a thousand pieces of gold.
After all, it means that there is a cause, so it seems that another method is needed to prevent this dangerous act.
Ronan, who continued to think deeply, soon brought out a statement that was close to the final weapon.
“If the lady finds out, what excuse are you going to make?”
“That, that… I hadn’t thought about it… … .”
“Whoa.”
Ronan let out a deep sigh at the sudden sense of skepticism, wondering if he was really old enough to have a coming-of-age ceremony this year.
When I was young, I was still a bit calm, but as I got older, it seems like there are more times when I act recklessly.
Have you ever been bitten by someone?
“… no?”
“Of course not. If the lady finds out, what will happen to both you and me?”
“You won’t watch… peel?”
In an attitude where there was no countermeasure, the desire to feed honey chestnuts to that small head right away was like a chimney, but Ronan managed to endure the urge.
‘I’ll have to go out with a more hard line.’
It doesn’t seem to be a situation where you can hear it in words.
It was the moment when Ronan turned around and was about to enter the castle again, as he seemed to lose momentum only if he showed action first.
widely.
“It’s been a long time, so I want to play with you… yes?”
“… … .”
Shuri held him up with her tiny hands that couldn’t even cover his wrists.
Then he begged, looking at Ronan with sadly raised eyes like an abandoned cat.
Ronan, who watched this without a word, finally hung his head.
Accepting that as a declaration of defeat, Shuri shouted ‘Yeah!’ He shouted and immediately returned to his original state, jumping and jumping in place.
In the end, it was a man’s sad fate that no matter how much he put on his iron-clad defense, he would fall out at the glance of his lover.

Ettle has a fairly mild climate compared to other northern regions.
That said, it means that it is warmer than Hespania, but since it is all the same in the northern region, it is cold to people in other regions.
However, because of this, it is known as a good place for sightseeing to residents of the same northern area, and the fact that the dimension stone connected to other areas is less than 40 minutes away by carriage also contributed to its popularity.
Arriving at such Ettle, Ariel didn’t think the corner of her mouth would come down from the moment she got off the carriage.
I wonder if this climate is comparable to Ardenum, where Edgar’s home is located.
Considering that the weather was enough for her, who is weak against the cold, to endure even though she was wearing a lot thinner than usual.
“The weather is really nice. Is not it?”
“Yeah. It’s just the weather you like.”
Compared to the past, thanks to her being able to withstand the cold quite well, this kind of weather was a welcome level for Ariel.
Ariel stretched out and looked around, a smile still full of smiles on Ariel’s lips.
Even the eyes curved like crescent moons, Edgar inadvertently thought that a flower was blooming.
“Okay… ! Where shall we go now?”
“Didn’t Shuri write it down?”
“But you never know where you want to go.”
Ariel emphasized this point from the moment she rode the carriage.
Today, he did not come out to have fun, but to repay Edgar for making him happy.
I have to say something that I couldn’t convey in the middle of the day, but it won’t be too late even if I put it off until later.
“Go anywhere. Because anywhere is fine.”
I appreciated her concern, but Edgar didn’t know anything about Ettle anyway.
At least Ariel seems to have the information he heard by ear, but he was an outsider.
Even if you ask such a person where he wants to go, there is no way he can tell you.
It would be more appropriate to head to the verified place that Shuri had written in advance.
Besides, Edgar notices that Ariel already has a place he wants to go.
tight.
As soon as Edgar finished speaking, Ariel came over to him and grabbed his hand.
Even so, among the places Shuri wrote down, there was a place that I kept stepping on in my eyes.
“Did you allow it?”
“Because I know.”
After confirming it again, Ariel leads him by the hand.
Edgar smiled lightly and moved his legs to match her steps.
For now, Ettle’s famous ‘Non-frozen Lake’ has been postponed until a little later.
Since there is also a unique view that can only be seen after the sun goes down, it was a step back for this.
“How did Shuri know this place so well?”
“yes? He said it was a place he came with his lover?”
“Then it’s worth it.”
Edgar laughed as he nodded as if he understood.
If you’ve been to a place with your lover once, you won’t be able to forget it.
Besides, from what I heard at first glance, Shuri writes in a diary every day like Helene, and all the good and bad memories are written there.
If so, he must have written down the memories he had with Ronan here, and based on that, he passed the information on to Ariel.
Thanks to this, the two can only enjoy sightseeing comfortably.
‘Well?’
Something caught Edgar’s senses as he walked alongside Ariel instead of behind him.
It wasn’t like murder, but I felt a deep gaze, but I looked around and didn’t notice anything.
‘Is it because of my mood?’
Maybe it’s because I’ve become more sensitive since it hasn’t been long since that happened.
Or did they really have eyes watching them?
Edgar had no way of knowing, but he decided to keep that in mind and started following Ariel again.
Without knowing in their dreams that their eyes were a pair of lovers like theirs.
