Chapter 16 (1/2)

Chapter 16 – I invited my friend

It finally became the promised day, when Sophia would come to visit

“Ojou-sama, Sophia-sama whom you have spoken about has arrived……”

Anne told e for souest rooain as quickly as possible

And then, I went to the guest room –

Indeed, the beautiful Sophia aiting there impatiently, but…… For some reason, there was also an incredibly handsome boy next to her

With black hair and black eyes, his hair and eye color was different from Sophia, but it could be seen that his features were similar and they were related And, with two such beautiful people in front ofup a pair of dolls

Ahh, Anne’s expression was surely strange because she was by these two doll-like people

While I was lost staring at the two beauties, the voice that snapped me back to reality, was the handsome boy’s

“Thank you very oes out by herself, I a her today I’m her older brother, Nico”

I thought they looked similar, and indeed, this handsome boy seems to be Sophia’s older brother But even so, to accooes out, she’s had such a sheltered life

However, I’ve been under pretty strict guard in o out, mother will say “take Keith with you Listen to Keith, and absolutely don’t do anything weird” So, Keith always has to accompany me as well

Met along well

While I was thinking this, for the ti I raised the hem of my dress and turned towards Sophia’s brother

“Thank you verymy invitation My name is Katarina Claes”

“I’ed to be in your care”

The handsoain

And, I froze upon hearing it

Nico Ascarot…… That name sounds familiar

“Um, this may be rude but, Nico-sama, would you happen to be the prime minister-sama’s son?”

“Yes That’s right”

He is!? This person, I was thinking he’s such a perfect handsoet!

Honestly, I want to iame memories” notes…… But in the meantime, I desperately tried to remember what I could

Nico Ascarot, the prime minister’s son, Alan and Jared’s childhood friend He’s one year older than the heroine, and is a taciturn senpai type of character

Ugh, I can’t rein with, I haven’t even captured Nico yet I died after finishi+ng the Jared route In the end, I never even got started on Nico’s route All I know about hiame’s character introductions, and little tidbits than I heard froame first

If I recall correctly, A-chan said…… the rival for Nico was…… his sister!! That’s right, Nico was designed as quite a siscon, and the rival is his sister And, to capture Nico, I think A-chan told me that you have to capture his affections before his sister does

Ahh, thank you A-chan I’ mad at you at that time for the spoilers I can’t believe that A-chan’s spoilers from that time would come in handy here

If the rival for Nico is his sister, that et involved with Nico, I probably won’t get any destruction flags

Anyways, if the rival for his affections is his sister, that means I won’t accidentally steal anyone’s lines like that tiet in the way of their affections

Good, if it’s like that then it won’t be a proble-awaited comrade to chat about romance novels with I won’t let her escape so easily!

“……Uh, Katarina-sama”

It seems that I was co at me with a worried face

“Ahh, Sophia-sa If it’s alright with you, let’s continue from where we left off last time”

As I said so, I invited Sophia over to a table prepared with sweets and tea

And then, we spent our tiabout books, she became quite talkative It seems that she really loves books Of course, she knew about all the popular roends and history books and fairy tales, and those stories were all very interesting as well She recommended several books to me

If I do say so myself, her brother Nico has been co…… Well, I don’t have the time to concern myself over such a matter, it can’t be helped Man, he’s really such an es It seems like such a waste of a handsome boy

Ti fun, before I noticed it the sun was going down, Sophia’s family servant raised her voice and said that “it’s tio now”

And when the faht hit her hair as she stood up and her hair sparkled in the sunshi+ne It’s so beautiful I’ silk Ahh~, I want to touch it even just a little bit

“You really do have such beautiful hair May I touch it just a little?”

I spokeSophia

So lines similar to the ones in “The Emerald Princess and Sophia,”my mood was completely like the Emerald Princess However, if it was like the story, Sophia should be blushi+ng now, but……

“……Eh!?”

Unfortunately, she had such a dubious look on her face! I’ve done it now! I realizedher face Since Mary happily allowed ht have forgotten that it could very well be considered rude in this world to ask to touch a lady’s hair like this
