  “.…… Even so, it looked like it was hard”


  Rudy’s words…… I have a bitter smile on my face…… They are so true……

  “Well, that’s right. What do you want ……?”


  “Did Bern study too?”


  “Ah …… well ……”


  I tilt my head seeking an answer from Bern…… because those words made me muddled.

  “.……study?”


  “About the real intention of my words…… Iris and Yuri’s words battle was really exciting”


  “Oh …… Incidentally, how did you hear about it Rudy?”


  “The words of Yuri were practically like saying you’re trying to keep your brother alone forever…… Iris your meaning in what you answered to her was -It’s not something you should say, stealing other people’s men. You’re acting like royalty even though you’re not in the royal family, you’re a scary two-faced lady- ”


  “Uhu…… I think so, too. Rudy and Iris…… Is it not the true anyway?”


  It is true that Yuri ‘s words certainly sounded as Rudy said, and I consciously said my answer with that meaning.

  By the way, when she talked about the dress, there were plenty of thorns in her words.

  “Iris don’t take it as criticism, I do not feel like that at all, I think that you’re purely amazing. I admire your actions.”


  “.……Is that your way of praising me?”


  “I praise you, I praise you”


  “Already, Rudy”


  In such a conversation, the three of us laughed.

  A little nostalgia comes in, to this sight, as if we had returned to our childhood times.

  “.…… but …… I certainly saw you Rudy in the ball indeed for a long time …… No way, did we say too much?, did the boss turn upset?”


  “No …… There is no such thing…… The boss is doing a bit of complicated work. There is a possibility that the movements it will get bigger. I will not escort him this time, instead I am continuing the work in the Kingdom. ”


  “Oh …… …… I see, it seems like a hard job to keep the work in the Kingdom.”


  “Is it the same for you Bern?”


  Bern had a bitter smile at Rudy’s question.

  “Iris…… Let me explain…… My uncle has been overwhelmed by the number of troublesome work that arises due to the recent circumstances. In such circumstances, Bern believes that about 70% of regular work are messed up because the kingdom officials are handling it. ”


  “I am still on it, I will have it confirmed by my father at the end.”


  “It is obvious that it is uncle who ultimately decides what we will do, Bern is doing a good job, including his judgment, it is the good blood of Almeria.”


  I was honestly surprised by the conversation between Bern and Rudy.

  I knew that Bern wanted to pursue father’s dreams and ideals, but I did not believe he was so near to reach his objective.

  Even so, Bern and Rudy are on good terms as usual.

  Because there are good relationships between Duke of Armenia and Marquis Anderson, there are times when we often met with our cousin during the social season, and there seems that this year is the same.

  Even now, I was laughing happily with a hint of light in my eyes.

  We became big and busy and it became impossible for us to meet each other, so it was truly a nostalgic sight …… I was watching them while being harmonious.

  “Both of you…… I will be a little rude,”


  “Sister where are you going? I will go with you.”


  “Are you going yo accompany to the place of dressing? …… I’ll go straight and come back don’t worry……”


  I say so and return to the room from the balcony. And I aimed to go to the waiting room.

  There is always a waiting room for women and men at such a balls.

  You can take a break or arrange your dress.

  Because the inside of the castle is still with the music on and people dancing, I leave the hall fast and it is quiet outside in the corridors.

  I also thought that there would be many women going to the waiting room, but I could not find that.

  Suddenly, a little voice whispering caught my ears……

  Well, it is not unusual for people who are interested in rumors to appear when they leave the venue at parties where nobles gather.

  I pass fast the place where I heard the whisperings, but as I heard the contents of the story, I accidentally stopped my legs.
