What if he can only see Rieta in the future?

‘That might not be a bad thing.

…… Judging from the sneaky smile, it seems that Noel’s innate nature is quite fond of such things.

Stupidly.

“Anyway.”

He raised his head again and looked at Rieta.

However, the girl who had been sitting next to Noel just a moment ago was whimpering and holding the empty birdcage.

“What are you doing?”

“I think we’ll have to take this back.”

Noel snatched the cage from Rieta’s hands.

“It’s okay, even if you don’t bring it.”

“But Noel, your hand hurts.”

Rieta seemed to pay attention to Noel’s palms, which had turned red from overexertion.

“It’s okay. I’m not going to give it back.”

“Then?”

He put the cage down and held her head high.

A familiar robe fluttering could be seen over the round roof.

The truth is, he found out and knew about it after kissing her on the forehead a little while ago.

“BB, come out.”

“Ahaha.”

Soon, with an awkward laugh, BB the gatherer, came down from the top of the roof.

“Did you know?”

“At first, I was only expecting it.”

Noel pointed with the tip of his chin to the door he had just been trying to open.

The lock wasn’t particularly broken, but he thought it was strange that it suddenly opened.

At that time, the situation was urgent, so he did not bother to point it out.

“I can only think that someone from the outside opened it. That.”

“That’s right. But don’t you think I already went back?”

“You can’t go.”

Noel glanced down the building.

There were far more soldiers and knights lined up than usual.

They were the ones who came with the Emperor when he came here.

There were several people who were on high alert, so even BB, no matter how talented he was, would have had no choice but to wait on the roof right now.

“I was caught. I thought I hid well.”

“I could see some clothes when the wind was blowing.”

“I lacked caution.”

“It would have been a blind spot down there anyway, so it wouldn’t matter. Rather….”

Noel crumpled his face. He had a few questions to ask.

He wanted to thank BB for opening the door, but he wanted to argue.

“Why did you just watch while I slammed my shoulder into the door?”

Thanks to that, Noel’s shoulder must have had a bruise by now.

He’ll have to go back to the mansion and check it out.

“Uh…that’s it.”

BB was messing with his hair.

“Because dramatic is more fun?”

Noel couldn’t bear to get angry at that amazing answer.

“……First of all, thank you for opening the door. And in return.”

“Are you giving me a reward even though I opened it late while checking the timing? BB is so exciting.”

“I’ll take you out of here.”

Upon hearing the story, BB’s eyes sparkled excessively.

It would not be easy to hold out on the roof until the Emperor returns on such a hot day.

“Really?! As expected, Lord Noel is the best. If I had been a little higher in status, I would have proposed to Lord Noel!”

BB approached again, so Noel quickly covered his mouth with the palm of his hand.

He couldn’t lose his second kiss to BB.

“Okay, now let’s talk about how you will reward me.”

“Me? Do I have something to reward? I helped Lord Noel already?”

Seeing BB’s shameless appearance, Noel looked dejected.

Did he just help?

He must have been excited and stole all Noel’s ‘moments of realizing emotions’.

It is a great rudeness to watch an important scene where he realized his personal feelings.

A proper gentleman would have looked away.

“BB. Are you really not sorry for me?”

“Uh… No I don’t.”

Noel turned his body around after hearing the stuttering reply. He even grabbed Rieta’s hand and dragged her along.

“Come on, Rieta. There’s nothing to do with that rude bastard.”

“Lord Noel! Didn’t you want to take me out?”

BB begged, but Noel didn’t look back.

“I was wrong. I was wrong!”

BB hurriedly followed him, putting his hands together and begging.

“I saw everything! I thought I shouldn’t look, but I couldn’t look away! It’s so much fu…… !”

“Fun?”

Noel paused, opened his sharp eye, and turned his head away.

“Hiick, No. That’s.”

BB thought of other words, but to be honest, fun was the most accurate.

How could he explain this?

BB seemed to be very troubled, so Rieta grabbed Noel’s arm and asked.

“Noel, can you take BB out?”

“…..what?”

“It’s pitiful to leave him on the roof. BB secretly entered here to give fruit to the bird.”

BB was so grateful for Rieta’s heart that he wanted to propose to her right away.

But he thought that if he did that, Noel would be angry again, so he decided to not do so.

“BB.”

“Yeess, Lord Noel.”

“What you just saw. Don’t sell it as information. That’s the condition.”
