Chapter 17 (2/2)

Luce gives Ballad a thumbs up

Luce also gives permission to Jeff and Solcier

It seeive these to his motherthis is quite rare

“Well, let us get started with100 of these”(Doyle)

“Yes sir!”(Ballad/Luce/Solcier/Jeff)

We start tohim over to my side

“By the ho are you giving these flowers to, Master Doyle?”(Jeff)

Jeff, who is silently iving these flowers to For some reason the other 3 people are surprised at Jeff’s words and stiffen up

I do not knohy they have stiffened up, but I answer Jeff without give it too ht

“OhI a this to rope hi my side”(Doyle)

“Oh, is that so, I d-“(Jeff)

“Eh!”(Luce/Solcier/Ballad)

The three people interrupt Jeff as satisfied by my answer

“What is up? Why are you three so noisy?”(Doyle)

I look at the 3 who had suddenly shouted and are now standing up from their chairs

“What? I thought you were going to give this to the Saint Serena!”(Solcier)

“What are you talking about Solcier! There is a person ifted these flowers!”(Luce)

“It is as Luce says! Master Doyle will use these flowers to propose to Princess Claire!”(Ballad)

“It is exactly as Sir Ballad says! Or rather, Master Doyle, who other than Princess Claire would you give these flowers to! I can procure soive to that stupid pharmacist!”(Luce)

“It is as Luce says! Master Doyle! You ive this flower bouquet to Princess Claire This is not for Leopardo! This can only be for the Princess!”(Ballad)

These three are conde me so fiercely

Solcier was first, but Luce and Ballad’s words hurt me the most In fact, this is the first time since I was born that Ballad has ever yelled at me

Giving Claire a bouquet of paper

I would understand if it was freshly picked flowers but paper?Does that not seem too poor? (Doyle)

“won’t it be rude to give a princess paper flowers?”(Doyle)

“What are you thinking! I will soon make this product the hit product of this world, and Princess Claire will be the first woift personally from the product’s creator! How could she not be pleased!”(Luce)

“It is as Luce says! Master Doyle had personally invented this product and has personally made the floith his own hands The princess will be ecstatic!”(Ballad)

“There is no way she would be happy from this”(Doyle)

“No! She will definitely bemy life on this!”(Luce)

“Wellthat”(Doyle)

“Yes! Master Doyle! We will o over there and work on the bouquet for the princess!“(Luce)

“No, but”(Doyle)

“It is as Luce says We will also make bouquets for Madam Serena and Ma’ao and make the bouquet for the princess!”(Ballad)

The tho say this take the blue rose I a on and put it on their table When I look back to reen sheets of paper on it When did they change out the paper?

“Here are 14 sticks The princess is 14 this year so please work on14 flowers”(Ballad)

Isn’t the number 14 bad luck, or was it 13? (Doyle)

While I aenerated from behind me I slowly turn around to look at Luce and Ballad With the aive off, I can ala I used to read with all those poses

I start to work on the flowers for Claire, and as soon as they see o back to their table to work on the flowers

They keep using the dark colours like purple or black though

Wait, you guys

What kind of colour choice is that?

Are you guys trying to curse Leopardo?

It is a gift you know (Loyde)

Is what I want to say, but

“Master Doyle! Your hands have stopped!”(Ballad)

I give up all resistance when Ballad is able to notice I have stopped working even though he is not facing ry Ballad is scary

I start to seriously think about what are the best colours to use for Claire’s bouquet

I use pink and white paper to make the flowers for Claire I believe these colours represent her the most

While I aht

What if Claire does not like this and starts to hate me (Loyde)

This thought disappears instantly when I think about what Luce and Ballad said

“She will be absolutely pleased!”(Luce/Ballad)

She told me she would wait for me forever I hope she smiles when she receives these flowers

Claire is the one person in this world who should always be happy Her s in this world and suits her the most

I remember the moments when she showed me her brilliant smile I pick up the last of the red, pink and white paper to make the final flower for her
