2The spring that arrived too late

Part 2

Simon's POV

”Siet married?”

In the hness Sevran asked this without any logical connection

”Those words, I would return them to you as they are”

”I a the other party I don't re to be in the bachelor doctrine”

Just what on earth are you saying while ? I took a breath

”I don't re my bachelorhood”

”Then why aren't youfor a companion? You'll soon turn thirty and you still don't have a fiancé, you're going to get improper suspicion”

”Don't worry If I were to get that kind of suspicion, the other partner would end up being His Highness' without a doubt”

”That's why I aet married already!”

I wonder what he is saying already? His Highness that turned desperate thrusted his finger at me

” Your mother is also worried, you know It'll be bad if the heir is a forever bachelor, right I don't e interviews Do it quickly”

”Marriage interviews……that's right”

His Highness worries aside, it's not that I didn't thought of

Recently, on these days,s about women is unnecessary, becausealready twenty-seven It can't be helped that they would feel anxious

Shall I start to seriously consider it? I thought

It's not like I don't want to get married, or that I am not interested in wo priority to ith, thus it is just a story of not having a partner to consider

However I didn't feel like going tomiss that would come from it For example if someone's like Miss Aurelia, perfect on the outside but with an intolerable problematic personality on the inside I'd like to be introduced to soood at hiding their true nature They introduced ood disposition and conduct with rectitude, but the possibility that in reality they may carry vicious nature undercover wasn't scarce

I don't desire et along with the other party

So I replied, and His Highness showed a terribly troubled face His Highness hi his consort, so he sympathizes with my position If I found e proposal myself before the introduction

It is so difficult

As I was thinking of what to do inside me, I had the opportunity to talk with Miss Marielle's father Viscount Clarac

He asked hter

”A your subordinate, is there perhaps anyone that seehteen and……Maa, she can't be assessed as a beauty to compliment her but, her head is not bad She conducts herself cleverly, and if she had to accomplish a duty, she would clearly fulfill it On other aspects I will properly discipline her I have confidence I can get her to be a wife However, she is also a quiet girl, and she doesn't easily catch ht look unsatisfactory to the people of the brilliant Ie partner She'll be different from a wife or a lover To leave a house to sohter is bargainable on that point—-and so, would you please talk to someone about it?”

The Viscount said it in quite a skillful way, despite having the look of a nice person The beauty and brilliance that Miss Marielle doesn't seek ritten up, while also ee partner He is skillful in getting in the way of the world in contrast to his look It's a strategy of steady advancement that is really like him; and if you promote like this, there will be so on the story

However, it's just a bit not honest

You explained one aspect of Miss Marielle but theErr, her other part of eccentricity that can't be seen, it's an essential factor that can't be discarded as a triviality for a fiancé

If you say it like this I wouldn't find out the story that I had discovered I understand the very reason to hide it However, as I ao and hold a conversation with my subordinate like that

If the engagement were to be cancelled because her true character was exposed on the way, then even Miss Marielle would feel hurt, right In case the rumor were to circulate in society, then it would affect the search for a future companion Nevertheless, for her it's likely not just a connection, and it will cause a fatal stain on her

……Iya, if it's her, then she ht happily make materials out of the situation? It seems likely

I can easily i it with a note in hands briirl, certainly the introduction of soly, she doesn't intend to find a fiancé by herself

It would be good if there was aabout it, I realized the fact that there was no such person

That's right There's no need to turn the talk to a subordinate, wouldn't it be fine if I accepted?

I know of her hidden hobby I also know of her little odd personality And I don't hate it As of now, I do enjoy observing her

Miss Marielle, without a doubt has an eccentric personality, but she isn't ill-natured Even though she enthusiastically collect ru the with references for her novels She holds interest in things like other people's ru theossips in noble society, I ht say that she is someone that is difficult to come by

I would say that her principal behaviour is usually for the sake of her novelsI honestly can't praise her for her virtues but…she's not that bad?

I a that it was just right, when I told the Viscount to count my name as a candidate, he was really surprised

”Iya, I ae arrangement wouldn't come out to be really balanced? Our House's status is different from the Flaubert House If it's soood young misses You are separated by quite a few years too…”

He didn't juotiation, rather he pointed out his concern instead, I see that he isn't a happy go lucky est He doesn't i in front of him He has the wisdom to beware of traps
