Chapter 468. Love (B) and agony

(6)

Still, I do not sympathize.

To begin with, I don't like people who gossip like that.

“Oh, you look really busy. yes?”

I looked back at Asha, who had been silent for a while.

Already, she seems to be unable to keep up with the current situation and shows no reaction.

No, why are you shocked?

I really...

I sighed and put my arm on Asha's arm and pulled it lightly.

“You seem a little out of your mind? Could it be windy?”

“Eh yes...

Asha faintly moved her head.

Fortunately, I seem to be able to hear what I'm saying.

It's probably because I'm not conscious of the current situation.

This time, we came out to the balcony where Asha and the young lady talked earlier.

This place is also very popular.

If it's here, you can't hear what's going on, let alone look at it.

As soon as I came out, Asha was restless for a while, but then looked straight into my eyes as if she had made up her mind and asked.

“Huh? Are you Arel? Did you do that on purpose?”

“Oh, on purpose.”

I always act on purpose.

“But then everyone...

” Think of it like a lover?”

Even if he doesn't, he behaves in a plausible way in the face of attention from a country that has not yet taken on a concubine.

It might be enough to get that recognition.

I knew it.

“however. Are you misunderstanding something?”

Understanding the meaning of those words, Asha's ears turned slightly red.

“...I don't know if that's the case...

but... if you do that even in a place like this. I'm sure everyone...

“I'm looking forward to seeing what rumors will circulate.”

How many days will it take to go around the whole kingdom this time?

Wouldn't this be an opportunity to see how fast the noble ladies talk?

“Never mind what I did earlier. It's because I think I should have a little bit of responsibility.”

“yes?”

“ah? Or was Asha thinking of something else? Then I'm sorry too.”

“It's not like that... but...

Asha couldn't speak very well and pursed her lips.

Perhaps he himself is at a loss as to what to do.

That's because I've never been so blatant before.

I can't think of a way to respond.

Hmm Then, to cool down for a while, shall we finish talking about what we talked about last time?

“I talked about it last time, but I remember that Asha said I wouldn’t stop you if you wanted to do something else or find another way, right?”

“.. Why are you saying that now?”

“Yeah, it looks complicated today. No. Has it been like that lately? Is there something troubling you?”

“Would it be strange if there were?”

“Rather, it is natural. It makes everyone worry]. Sometimes I don’t know what to do or what to accept.”

It's not that I don't know what to do.

I don't want to give an answer that far.

But I don't think that's wrong.

“Then you can continue to think about it. You just have to grunt and answer when you have time. Whether that's the answer you hoped for or the conclusion you didn't want.”

“...Sometimes I think of you, when you say things like that from before, Arel-sama seems strangely... dignified.”

“I was originally polite.”

what's with that goofy look?

I was originally like this

I know you're just fooling around without being immature.

“It’s easier if you draw a line.”

Her shoulders twitched.

Is it because it's a song?

“With nothing. If you secretly stick to your mood from afar and not be seen by others... well, that might be okay too.”

“...You say something weird.”

What kind of weird words are from now on.

“Asha you. Of all the people I know now, he's always stubborn.”

“Is that bad?”

“So when Pena-sama came, I thought it was fortunate in my heart.

At least I can draw a line beyond that.”

Now that he has a wife, he can draw the line again as a knight and live his daily life.

I thought that was enough and finished it.

I'd rather have no hope... I might not have dreamed of it.

At least that was the case not too long ago.

“Could it be okay for a moment? Thinking so... I hesitated.”

“???? Hmm.”

“Everyone seems to be honest without hesitation, but I couldn’t.”

“Right.”

“I don’t have to worry about anything? Is something like me really okay? Will I harm his reputation by any chance?”

He believed to himself that just being behind him was enough.

But on the other hand, I hate myself thinking that it wasn't like that.

it's got greed

However, she was not the kind of person who would reach out for greed.

Knowing that, Arel scratched her head for a moment and sighed as if she understood.

“Is that what you were thinking about?”

“...Did you notice, Arell-sama?”

“Roughly.”

It wasn't like I was thinking about the proposal from the beginning.

Rather, it made me think again.

Surprisingly, even after hearing the proposal...

I would have been happy if it had been me years ago, strangely, I didn't think anything of it.

Oddly enough, she hadn't pictured herself living anywhere other than there.

This is not good.

That's when I was sure.

Asha made a decision at that moment.

“So you just pretended to be okay?”

Arell asked as if he noticed.

* * *

There are many people in the world.

Let's break it down into two big things.

A human who simply stretches out his hand when he is greedy.

And when you get greedy, a person who rather steps back.

It's just amazing.

I am a full-fledged former.

And most of the people around me are also electronic.

But in her case, it's the latter.

for being greedy.

Rather, he is a person who withdraws, fearing that he will destroy his surroundings with it.

“I see... that is your conclusion.”

However, it cannot be said that the conclusion is wrong. Because there is no right or wrong in it.

“Isn’t Arel-nim like that before? I promise you will respect my will.”

“Um...that’s it.”

Certainly, because of my greed, I have no intention of tying someone down to the point of breaking their will.

Decisions are always respected to some extent.

But.....

I still have my personal stubbornness.

“I wish there was a more honest conclusion. Asha, are you really going to be okay with that?”

She was discovered by me and has always been by my side and taught me.

It wasn't just about being a knight or anything like that.

A more honest attitude.

That too is included.

“In any case, what I meant was you... or anyone else. It means that if you want to do something you want to do and be honest about it when you have a will, you won’t stop it.”

Did you forget our family motto?

Well, that's what Pena looked like, so I put it away a week after I bet it.

“...is that okay?”

“Asha, you only act honestly with yourself.

Because it is right as long as it does not hurt or harm anyone.”

none other than I affirm

If you want to deny it, you will have to at least beat me.

As I spread my chest wide and insisted on that, Asha burst into laughter as if it were somewhat absurd.

“If you're like Arell-sama, you're saying something like that.”

“Yes, there is no one else to say this but me.”

That's what you can say at your age.
