Chapter 58

Dessert [Part 2]

Several noble sons Emma recognizes are coming their way.

“Emma-san, how are you feeling?”

Everyone looks at Emma worriedly.

They are the noble sons from territories around Palace who defended and stood up for Emma after Monster Science class.

“My, Chris-sama, Glen-sama... How do you do? I’m feeling fine.”

My stomach has calmed down too... While thinking so, Emma replies, but she doesn’t understand the meaning behind the noble sons’ question.

“We’re sorry for not helping when you’re entangled with Robert-sama,”

They’d thought they should help her, but they remembered the awe feeling when seeing the Prince’s black hair for the first time. Above that, they are also scared of Robert, whose hair color is close to black, and couldn’t defend Emma right away.

It was said that they can talk informally inside the academy, no need to mind about status, but they couldn’t really oppose a Duke family...

The classroom for Monster Science is large, and they got entangled with Robert as soon as they entered, so the siblings didn’t notice that they were in the same class as these noble sons.

“No way, it’s Emma nee-sama‘s fault for picking a fight, you know?”

“I think it’s wise not to get involved with Robert-sama as much as possible.”Geett the latest novels on no/v/elbin(.)c/om

William and George insist that there’s nothing to apologize for.

If they had defended Emma and caught Robert’s eyes, they would have been totally dragged into this trouble. The siblings would definitely feel sorry.

“Other than that, we accidentally said about your scars to Robert-sama.”

The noble sons confess like they’re on the verge of tears.

‘Robert-sama will definitely do something terrible to Emma, and we gave him the chance to do it.’

“They’re talking about that scar from the recklessness of youth, huh, Caitlyn?”

“It’s about that scar from the recklessness of youth, Catherine.”

The only ones in school who unreservedly asked about Emma’s scars, the twins, beg Emma for the detailed story.

“Um, I’ve heard from a rumor that when you were together with His Highness, a monster attacked, and that’s how you received that scar?”

Francesca nervously said.

“Eh? But I also heard a rumor that you got injured when you protected His Highness?”

Marion also talks about the rumor she once heard.

“.....that’s.....not because I protected His Highness.....”

In places she didn’t know, rumors about herself just spread on their own.

Inside are cakes, chocolates, and all kinds of sweets from popular stores in the royal capital.

Knowing that Emma loves sweets, they ran at full speed to the stores after Robert left and bought them.

It was the result of their discussion. That even though Emma couldn’t eat lunch, she could at least eat her favorite sweets.

No one is thinking that Emma had finished a proper lunch set.

“It looks so delicious!”

She picks one chocolate and puts it in her mouth.

It has a luxurious taste different from what she usually eats at the Stuart House.

It’s a snack she only got to eat from Joshua’s visiting gifts.

“So good!! It’s super delicious!”

Her gesture of holding her cheeks while munching looks destructively cute.

‘I thought I’m the only one who gets to see this face...’ Joshua receives a shock.

The noble sons pat their chest in relief after seeing Emma deliciously eating the sweets they gave her.

“That’s right! Everyone, please accept the cufflinks I have made during embroidery class today as my gratitude!”

*clink clink clink* Emma takes out as many cufflinks as the number of people from her bag and hands them out one by one.

Receiving a gift from an angel, the noble sons left the place while dancing boisterously.

Emma waits for the attentive waiter to finish refilling the black tea and reaches her hand to the cake with a face beaming with joy.

“To think I will also have dessert today, what an incredibly wonderful day! Everyone, let’s eat together.”

‘Eating... again, huh,’ Francesca and Marion can’t understand if there’s a hole for dessert inside Emma’s slender body.

“Let’s eat, Caitlyn.”

“Let’s eat, Catherine.”

The twins are choosing between the cakes happily.

George and William are staring in the direction where the noble sons just left as if looking at something pitiful.

Joshua has determined to find sweets more delicious than these.

“By the way, Lady Emma...”

Arthur asks for the two times today.

“Just how many cufflinks did you make?”

Author’s note: Sweets go to a separate belly, after all.
