Chapter 86

After Noel muttered for a long time without actually saying anything, Rieta came up with a possibility.

“Hey . . . what happened with Count Mclean?”

“W- what?”

“Why else woujld you be running away like this?”

“Oh, don’t be ridiculous. Nothing happened with him!”

“Did you not run away?”

“Ugh.”

Rieta stared at Noel and decided to stop asking questions.

Since Noel has a strong sense of pride, she thought there might be some things that he didn’t want to tell anyone.

“Okay, then let’s go back to the carriage.The coachman grandfather would have been surprised.”

Rieta got up from and turned around.

Naturally, the hand that had been holding her was released as well.

But this time, it was back again.

Noel caught Rieta.

“. . . Why?”

As she turned around and asked, Noel kept his head down and muttered a small mumble.

“. . . I didn’t . . . give it.”

“Huh? I can’t hear you, Noel.”

He finally raised his head.

Not only was his face red, but his complexion was close to black.

“I, I didn’t give it to you!”

His words were missing the object, but Rieta seemed to know what he was talking about.

“Are you talking about this brooch?”

“I , I was going to keep saying that . . . because you like it so much!”

Somehow, his sentence seemed to blame Rieta.

It wasn’t what he meant to convey.

He tried to correct himself quickly, but Rieta’s response was a little quicker.

“Of course I like it. Because I thought Noel gave it to me.”

“. . . You liked it because I gave it to you?”

“Of course, this brooch is also very pretty.”

“Tch.”

“Anyway, I get it. Have you been acting weird since yesterday because you wanted to say that?”

“I didn’t act weird.”

“But you were still restless.”

“That’s, it’s your birthday and I . . .”

Noel didn’t give her a thing.

However, Hugh Mclean gave Rieta flowers and a gift for her, which made him sick to his stomach.

. . . And somehow . . .

Like everyone else in the capital . . .

Rieta seemed to think she wanted to be Hugh’s best friend.

Maybe you think that way now.

Because Rieta knew all the facts.

Wasn’t she supposed to be angry?

“So you ran away as soon as you saw Count Mclean.”

“. . .”

“I mean, I knew something was already going on between the two of you.”

However, Rieta’s voice was not that different from usual.

No, she actually sounded relieved.

“Well . . . you aren’t mad?”

Noel lifted his head closely and looked into Rieta’s eyes.

“Uh huh.”

Noel was deeply moved by the way Rieta nodded her head with a calm face.

As expected, Rieta was her country’s first heir. She had such a big heart!

But he couldn’t be relieved, so Noel reorganized his sins and confessed them.

“I lied to you.”

“You apologized.”

“Yes . . . I didn’t even have a birthday present.”

“You can’t help it. Noel was originally planning to play with me. Wasn’t that the gift you planned?”

“How did you know?”

“How can I not know? How many times have you asked me, ‘Do you like playing cards or dice better?’”

“. . . In the end, we couldn’t play.”

“That’s why you gave me a present like this.”

Rieta slightly shook the flower she had received a while ago.

“The name of this flower, Noel. You found it for me.”

Rieta laughed a little.

Living in the Kingdom was too overwhelming, so she didn’t enjoy things like flowers very much.

Besides, the well-maintained garden in the Kingdom belonged to her father, and no children were allowed to enter.

So, it was special and nice to wander around the greenhouse in search of flowers she liked today.

“Thanks for the gift.”

There was one good thing to use among good friends.

After speaking frankly.

“The bud broke open because of a sudden run.”

It’s to say funny things.

This way, you don’t have to be ashamed of your secret sincerity.

Because they could laugh together.

Of course, this time around, it worked well.

In addition, Noel was brazen enough to say, “The buds are tattered, and the look is worn out so it really suits the Princess.”

Rieta slapped the cheeky Noel on the shoulder.

What nonsense are you saying?

Noel pretended to be hurt.

The Duke’s carriage arrived in front of the two.

After running out of the flower shop, they slowly followed them all the way here, waiting for the serious conversation between the two of them to end.

The children got on the wagon.

And when they passed the flower shop again, they had to crouch under the carriage window.

If they even made eye contact with Hugh Mclean, it would be very difficult.

***

After returning to the mansion . . .

Rieta and Noel fought again.

The cause was Noel.

At least, that was what Rieta thought.
