Mouichido Aeta Nara, Ippai No Egao O Chapter 12

"Tinaria, I wanted to hear more from you, but I have the privilege of having a relations.h.i.+p with his Highness. When there was this story about marriage, I thought about giving up for a moment, but I heard from his Highness that you gave us your consent, so now I returned to him like this. To be honest, I am truly grateful for your kindness. Please let's get along from now on."

Declaring so to Tinaria, who solidified in surprise, Clianna entangled gracefully her arm in Keithfalt's and went to the garden. Keithfalt took a glance at her direction and immediately turned back. This beautiful pair who where folding their arms in broad daylight were very well matched…

Clianna is Keith's lover———?

I suppressed my frantic heart from being swallowed by a growing and sinking pain. I knew he had a lover, but even so, it was fine, and I purposely consented. However, I couldn't be fully prepared for this, and my heart is screaming. Even though I understood from the beginning that I was not suited to be next to Keith, I somehow…

Clianna, who is the equal of Keithfalt, is a very sophisticated and beautiful woman, she, who was born as a young lady is different from the unannounced me. I became an embarra.s.sment as soon as I came in this patched dress. Come to think of it, since I solidified, I couldn't properly greet Keith. Clianna was also able out of concern to come and greet someone like me and yet…, I really wanted to cry at my miserable self.

Did I smile properly…? If my expression reflected in the eyes of Keith happened to be someone warped in jealousy… Tinaria had the illusion she could disappear from the scenery in front of her eyes.

In the old days, I was good at keeping my emotions under control. To begin with, before meeting with Keith, I was like a doll without emotions. Therefore, no matter how I was scolded, or forced to work hard, I was confident I could smile. However…, in front of Keith, my heart doesn't listen at all…

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Keithfalt, who headed towards the middle of the garden accompanied by Clianna, while completely shaking off the crying expression of Tinaria from a moment ago, turned his sharp gaze at Clianna.

"What did you two talk about?"

"I just gave a greeting. Besides, I thought that if I was on good terms with her, I could easily find out Lidea's scheme."

Clianna intertwined her arm obstinately and looked at Keithfalt.

"…By the way, there is something I'm a little bit worried about. The Princess of Lidea, when she learned I was from a Duke house, she asked recklessly about your Highness or older brother Lionel but… what is that supposed to mean?"

The beautiful young woman spilled poison with her lips and smiled sweetly.
