71 Outside, princesses and knights.

- In the case of Christina and the others at the night club (Argent perspective)

After Mizki turned her foot with Klaus to Viscount Grankin.

The curiosity and fear that had engulfed him seemed to weaken slightly.

And I guess I won't disappear completely because I have my sisters.

"Too bad, Al."

My sister asks with a slight bitter smile.

I keep laughing bitterly as I am heartily surprised at how much it was on my face.

"Was it so on your face?

"Well... to the extent that someone close to you would notice. 'Cause you always stick' perfect 'laughs."

"I still miss you both."

"Heh heh, you're the one around here who doesn't think you're jealous of Klaus."

"It's work."

No, I don't actually have to be jealous or anything, even if it's not work. Ningro Klaus would be relieved to be with us.

That's the same whether it's Sail or not, and I think we're both going to get the same answer back.

"Because she doesn't give a shit about herself. I'm still doing everything I can."

It's all to protect Christina. Against the 'monster', a particularly horrible rumor in the aristocratic society.

I got a lot of trouble with myself... the Viscounts, and how horrible it is for a girl who's starting to grow up.

Especially now I can't stand out and say anything.

Because Mizki made it known to the surroundings that she would exercise her strength as retaliation and that her sisters and the Duchess of Blondell were on her side.

There's nothing I can do about all the curiosity glances, but Mizuki will act prominently again if necessary enough to attract the attention of her surroundings.

"Hey, but Master Mizuki isn't weak, is he?

"... I feel like I'm going to be forgotten when I'm left alone. We will."

"Oh...... sure"

That's possible! I turn a slightly resentful glance at my fun sister though.

Does it still seem that way from my sister's eyes?

"Obsession is a one-way street for you.... because you're the three of us. Are you close?"

... It's true, but it's a word that chooses your chest. My sister is really unforgiving.

"That's what I want you to call love all the way."

"Oh, something similar. Besides, I don't think you're pointing your emotions at something that's just beautiful."

"Oh, I think I'm being completely honest."

"You're honest, against yourself"

……

This sister really is a pain in the ass. You can't be easily fooled just to know yourself as a nobleman.

Naturally, you know a story that can be conveyed to the private sector with admiration, like a story, is a conveniently distorted object.

... because they are only in stories such as "Beautiful and gentle princess/prince" and "Nice knight".

Whatever the end result is, it will only be used if you can't just hold your arms and stand around to hold your surroundings in.

Because of the results, we can be famous and admired by the country.

Even faces and households are weapons of their own...... What do you dream of in a world where political marriage is the norm?

"But there seems to be someone else who's honest with me....... Al"

"I know. I'm beside Miss Christina."

"Give it to us this time, will you?

"... to some extent"

A familiar girl and red-haired youth at the end of their gaze pointed at them both.

That said, the youth don't seem to be on board.

If you look at the other day and the current situation, you don't think it will come close... do you still have some kind of contract?

One of the two approaching was grumpy enough to tell in the distance. It would be due to Christina's unexpected current situation.

- Really... be honest with yourself, I don't suspect myself to be the center of the world. You're stupid enough to be stunned.

I guess I couldn't help but sneak out a sigh.

"Lady Christina, I'm coming."

Christina makes her expression slightly stronger if her sister tells her secretly.

It would be a natural reaction if you knew the malice directed at you. Fear will be remembered even if they are not actually harmed because they were targeted for crimes of a poor nature rather than something adorable to the extent of harassment.

"Rest assured, princess. We're here."

"Yeah, you can't beat a lot of things."

"Hehe, if it's true, we can't even talk about it."

The words that can be hung from the beauties one after the other are very scary on the back of the face.

The word "not only beautiful," which my sister said earlier, fits in with a presence called the Hua of the social world.

There was a way out. But there's nothing Amelia can do about it because she herself is headed for ruin.

I guess Andy doesn't realize that what he says and does is even worse than what he thinks.

If you knew, you would definitely stop Amelia.

Especially since I'm unwilling to tell you that, I should give way to my sisters here and be silent.

Because my role is' Miss Christina's Escort 'and not an attack on them.

Looks like they came this way while we were thinking about it. The surroundings are also pointing an interesting gaze.

"Good day, Christina"

On the surface he looks like he's smiling and greeting his cousins, but his eyes are full of hate.

The frustration with one thing that didn't turn out the way I wanted it to.

If you show any gaps, they will attack you with great joy.

"Good day, Amelia"

"You've new dresses, too. Me too... how does it look?

That's what Christina was supposed to wear, a light pink dress that makes her proud.

Is it because of that... Amelia's words and behavior also make me look a little childish?

Did you make harassment a priority, though you should have made it right for you because your face and atmosphere are different?

Thoughts are also children, not thinking about how the behavior will be seen by those who know the circumstances.

"That's really nice...... that dress"

"Become!"

"I turned my hand to the merchant and pressed the fabric in, saying, I can't even make the design my own. You can never imitate it."

"Hey... why are you doing that..."

"Oh, you're wrapped up in understanding what they think, aren't you?

"And I wonder if we didn't get eyes on it? What do you think you are?"

"Stop it for him. It's a child you don't understand yet."

... Looks like my sisters moved early. Gently pull the glistening Christina and lower back slightly to distance.

There is no way this sight could go unnoticed. Keep the poison away...... no, you should keep it isolated from them.

I want Christina to dream about it just for tonight, assuming she's my lovely sisters.

Because nature will be discovered soon anyway.

Normally, I don't imitate speaking to Christina, who is talking to a higher-ranking courtier than me.

Unless you're familiar with them, I'll definitely buy the ladies' unhappiness. Nor did Andy think that Amelia would start talking to the ladies without even saying hello. Pathetic.

"Did you know that the merchant who helped Viscount Grandkin received immediate attention from the Duke's house?"

"The Duchess of Blondell was very angry."

"Naturally. I don't care if you have an unreliable merchant."

Andy blues his face to one word after another.... Didn't you know?

Besides, Amelia just bites her lips regrettably and doesn't realize the situation.

It's not a lie, it's a rumor, it's a fact, and it's one of the main culprits, so you can't deny it.

The majority of the voices around me that sound slight criticize Amelia. Especially if it's entertainment.

"Oh, and that one there? That must have been Master Andy, right? of the Count Baxter family."

All of a sudden Andy told me the story. Big! and stuck his shoulder. He should be used to the treatment of women to some extent in his personality, but that doesn't work against his sister.

"... Yep. My name is Andy Baxter."

"Yes, I did offer Christina an escort, but I refused it at the convenience of the house."

"Exactly. I'm so sorry for what I did to Miss Christina."

It seems honest at first sight to lean down gently with a sorry face.

There's a neat face, and a woman who favors him would just believe that.

... In fact, everything was set up from the beginning.

How dare you say 'convenience at home' when you know that?

"So the Baxters are also a taste of Viscount Grankin. Affirmed by your son."

"Nah... that's not true!

"Oh, didn't you just say that? Hey, guys?

"Yeah, I did hear that."

"I can't believe the Baxters have a connection to Viscount Grankin...!

I see. Are you willing to brag about 'home' as a Viscount Grandkin family, not 'individual', if 'house circumstances' are to be used as an excuse?

It's unclear if the Baxters were actually involved, but Andy himself has been recognized for the facts and surroundings for saying so.

Nothing but bad reviews for the Baxters, such as their connection to Viscount Grankin. There would be no other way to deny the rumors than to take some action against my son.

Apparently, it's an opponent's maneuver to make him yell and slap him off. The women, skilled in manipulating rumors, remain smiling while secretly paying attention to their surrounding reactions.

And he said, "I'm going to be a knight today! 'There can be no raw temper for my sister to loosen her pursuit hand here.

"Speaking of which... I heard you were hostile to my brother. Sure, my brother is a Duke's son and his identity is a knight... but you are also only a Count's son, aren't you? There's no reason to be insulted.

Or maybe my brother is inferior to you as a knight - I didn't raise any objections to the words I added.

Amelia said something, but Andy at the time remained pale and speechless.

Naturally. There can never be a captain of a knight with wings inferior to a knight who became a Kingsguard.

Anyone who is aristocratic knows that.

And depending on how you perceive it, it sounds like you're saying, 'The Baxters are looking down on the Bashre family'.

Andy drowned his head when he poked at the reality that he was "inferior both in the identity sense and as a knight".

You won't be able to argue with him anymore. This conversation is also being heard around, involving the Baxters, and Andy's future is dark.

and then.

"Huh!? Master Mizuki!?

Mizuki and Klaus are punching the contents of the glass over their heads as they gaze towards Mizuki and the others in Christina's voice.

I know the level of interest in my surroundings due to the amount of noises I squeal, but I don't know what happened because of the distance.

Besides, my role is not to assist them.

"It's okay."

"So... but"

"Mizuki and Klaus, right? Do you think those two would do it without a thought?"

"... no"

"Well, we shouldn't worry about it now"

Do you understand? And to put it in the dark, it seems to have calmed down something that I'm not entirely convinced of.

On the contrary, Amelia floats with joy.

"Well! What a shame! 'Cause a bunch of dirty people are gonna answer that."

My sisters reveal their disgust at the retaliation and demeaning of Mizuki. Of course, me too.

Who the hell is the cause of this?

Do you use the word "lower"? [M]

Do you still not understand that you are so cold eyed that you should hear such words and come?

"You're a sloppy person"

"Huh?"

The pompous and grunting words seemed to sound surprising. Amelia turns her gaze to this side.

Oh, what a worthless creature indeed.

"I said he was a lowlife. Is your head an ornament?"

"Hey, A, Master Argent!?

"Can you wear it without calling your name casually, dirty? I wonder what sinners are willing to do to discredit people and look down on them?

Amelia's expression stains one word after another from stunning to desperate.

I can't understand it anyway. I guess I'm just hurt by the fact that the knight I admire hated me.

"Oh no... it's terrible! I think about you."

"Terrible? What did you try to do to Miss Christina? Fortunately I was able to prevent it, but if it was running, it wouldn't hurt anywhere! Or were you brought up in disdain if you didn't do what you wanted?"

Perhaps Viscount Grandkin is also good at exposing crime.

But we know that's not what we're afraid of. Anyway, I was one of those people who helped Mizuki with her plan, and she was a watchman when she sent me to Viscount Grandkin's residence to report a lie.

I can prove to you how safe it is to get your eyes on Christina for a while.

So Christina. You just have to be grand. There's nothing to be ashamed of.

Apparently Amelia also realized the failure of the plan with the voices she could hear from around her and how Viscount Grankin was doing.

My gaze is no longer starting to pour on Amelia as well....... it would be natural to watch her behave so far.

"Heh... of"

Words leak slightly from the mouth of the repentant Amelia.

"Why, it's all you! Everyone... Argent can protect you...!

What comes to mind in that face is hatred. He can't think of anything like reflection or apology without being the same.

Above all, Amelia makes fundamental mistakes.

Christina, who is aware of it, moves forward and forth in front of Amelia. The look was slightly stiff but firmly forward.

"Amelia. You're making a mistake. The easiest thing to do, not to be connected or in a position."

"Thoughts, differences......?

"I worked hard for the debutante. I learned a lot not to embarrass my family to denigrate the name of the house even though it was still awkward. It's not what you tried to do, is it?

A slightly younger voice but also because of the outfit and looks older than Amelia.

She overwhelmed Amelia without even staring.

"There were a lot of people out there who could help me. You all said this... 'It's the way I've come beyond myself, so if I see you trying, I want to support you'. That doesn't fit just with me, does it?

"I... wasn't there. Nobody, nobody!

Unilateral hatred of Christina is somewhat soothing, although it is still the fault of others.

That parent is the reason, maybe you only have to know how to live like that.

Even so, she didn't listen to any of the surrounding words.

I think it's time, I pinch my mouth too.

"Isn't that obvious? Your efforts are harassment. [M] Who would want to lend a hand to evil?

"Huh?"

"Nobody wants to be a criminal or anything. Whoever gets caught in the immediate interest, there's no fool to help denigrate the house."

Christina's wrapped colors are my mother's memories, and the dress is something that my mother's replacement Mrs. Blondell stood out for me.

The decorations were given by the knights, headed by Mizki, and etiquette and dance were taught to their sisters.

And her character was created together by those equal to her family and family.

How was Amelia in contrast?

Love from parents was given, but that education was too stupid.

If you show it down, you buy objection, if you fall into it, you can turn your hatred.

I'm sure you won't even think of that.

No, even if people told me, I wouldn't have honestly accepted it... because I've never been a victim.

"Amelia. I don't care what you say about me. But I will not allow you to insult those who have reached out to me."

"I won't forgive...? I'm busy, you said," Shut up!

Amelia's remarks were blocked and my sister turned a cold eye. At the same time, we lower Christina back and shelter her back.

"You don't change your attitude about looking down on people everywhere. Fine, my Bashre family will deal with you the way you do."

"Oh..."

"Well, Master Charline. It's not worth it, is it?

"Sister... I thought it would be a waste of time just to devote to the incomprehensible"

Words that can be hung from mouth to mouth never work for Amelia.

'It's not worth it', that's what I'm saying. I sure don't think I'll even have to leave the Duke's house.

"I'll use my connections, turn my hand, and crush Viscount Grandkin's house for you. Yeah, but unlike you, I'm not going to be a criminal. Just thoroughly wash and rebuff your sins."

A sinner like you who doesn't even know how to reflect doesn't need it in our country! And I'm not laughing at all at my sister's eyes, which I tell pleasantly.

The Viscounts of Grandkin seem to regard the nobility as just a privileged class, but in our country they are asked to assume the same responsibilities.

If it is also the Duke's house, the weight of responsibility is different digits. Even if it's not a trail, there's more to bear than being born in that house.

My sister took son-in-law in the first place because she also contributes to the country as a Duke family person.

I didn't know it would piss my sister off like that. I'd say you did a very courageous, reckless act.

... Well, in Amelia's case, I ignored the courtesy quote. I personally pissed him off, so I deserve it.

Besides, the Viscount Grankin family will definitely crumble even if the Dukes don't move.

It's just that there's a chance that sin will be more serious than we think it is. There is no big difference.

"I'll poke you as guilty as you can be convinced. Look forward to it."

"Wah... you're saying I'm bad!? 'Cause, Christina, shit."

The gaze around Amelia was becoming a mixture of disgust and sympathy for her trembling but unacknowledged appearance.

That parent has always educated me to be - that's what's right for her.

I guess it's not that easy to understand.

"It's useless to talk about this any more. Master Andy? Escort well."

"Ma...... wait!

Though I don't feel sorry for Amelia, who is probably in the position of being rebelled by someone for the first time.

"Will you close your mouth? My ears are dirty."

Amelia shrugs herself in a colder voice than she thought. The period of sympathy has passed, and I am not a 'knight friendly to anyone'.

We're very uncomfortable this time, too.

In addition, even though it is a substitute, there is no tenderness for anyone who tries to harm their fiancée.

"Dear Argent... Could you be angry?

"I just remember being angry at our impudence when we were feathers involving Mizuki."

"Sure. Mizuki had nothing to do with it."

"We just weren't worth it, so don't worry about it"

Let that be the case, Miss Christina.
