Chapter 18 (1/2)

Chapter 18 – I went over to play at the earl’s house

Su It’s been several weeks since the first time that Sophia and her brother Nico visited me

Sophia was noays co over, and Mary would always join in as well,even further Due to Sophia who enjoys a wide variety of books, I’ve also greatly increased the genres that I read

By the way, the current booirl and a devilishly char earl

The handsome earl’s devilish charm not only attracted women, even irl that he met in town

At Sophia’s reco this story – it was about a beautiful handso earl who had black hair and black eyes

Sophia told me secretly that “actually, I like it because the main character’s a bit like onii-sama”

Sophia also said to ht……”

When I read the novel, I felt that they were indeed quite similar

I’ handsome boys like Jared and Keith, but Sophia’s brother Nico has his own unique atmosphere about him as well

His face is as beautiful as a well-made doll, and his beautiful black eyes have a mysterious charm to them that draws people in

If he grows up like this, I can certainly feel that not only woet attracted to him like the earl from the novel

However, I still don’t know Sophia’s brother Nico very well yet

In the gaets, it was said that he is the most normal person with a lot of common sense Also, since he’sith hi is, he hardly ever spoke He only spoke when it was absolutely necessary, and even then he would only say one or tords

Since it was always so busy around ot any chances to speak to the taciturn Nico……

However, even so I understood that he cherished Sophia very s very ood onii-san I also know very well that Sophia likes her onii-san very much

Also, I’ve heard that just like Jared and Alan, he seeh spec character who’s excellent in academics and swordsmanshi+p

If I get a chance, I definitely want to talk to him some more and deepen our friendshi+p……

As I was thinking so, the chance presented itself

“If you would like, won’t you come to visit me?”

I kept telling Sophia that “I want to see it, I want to see it!” about her book collection, and after telling her many times, she finally inviteda little pushy and forced her into it though……

“Is that really alright!?”

I was so happy that I was ju at Sophia, while beside“if your ain”

And so, I’ll be going over to visit the Ascarot family

The main purpose was to chat with Sophia about novels, but just et to talk with Nico some more too

In order to get along even better with my cute friend that loves her older brother so much, I made up my mind to speak more than tords to Nico this time

And so, the promised day arrived, and I headed towards the Ascarot ht of Sophia’s book collection

By the way, as I’hter of the Claes fa me My mother also said “be very careful not to make any social blunders” and was very worried about h I’ve already been to so many tea parties, and I’ve been to our relatives’ house and Mary’s house so many times without any problems, mother seems to be really worried for some reason

And so, even though the Ascarot e as the Claes ood feeling

As the servants greeted us and served us tea in the guest rooe and another beautiful lady as well appeared close together

Of course, I thought it would be Sophia coape at their appearance Uhh, who on earth could these beautiful people possibly be

As I was thinking so, the handso smile towards me

“Pleased to meet you, I’m Nico and Sophia’s father, my name is Dan Ascarot This is my wife Radea”

“My name is Radea Ascarot”

At the reeted us as well

What’s this! They were Sophia and Nico’s parents!? No wonder they were so beautiful That means that this man is the rumored Earl Ascarot who accepted the position of pri

I stared at the s Ascarot couple Earl Ascarot had the same black hair and black eyes as Nico, while Countess Ascarot had pale golden hair and blue eyes, and both of theht out of a story book They are indeed the beautiful siblings’ parents

While I was staring at thereet them,” Keith whispered to me in a low voice

Oh right! As a noble daughter, I have to greet them properly –

“……Pleased to meet you,me today”

“I’er brother, my name is Keith Claes I’ll be in your care”

I greeted the reeted them properly

Anyways…… I wonder why Sophia’s parents came out instead of Sophia My question showed on my face

“We figured we’d cohter won’t co for you nervously in her room”

Earl Ascarot answered my question for me

“Oh, is that so”

For the ti, at least I understand why they showed up first now…… I was a bit nervous because her parents showed up to greet me so formally

I’ve been to Mary’s place many times to play, but since her father’s always busy ork and is hardly ever home, I haven’t even seen him since the first tea party there That’s why this is the first tireeted me so formally While I was completely stiff froracefully to me

“I’ve heard hter about you, Katarina-sa lots of fun now…… Thank you very much”

As she said so, Countess Ascarot reached out to takeat her so closely, she’s really beautiful Also, her features were very sih I was still very tense, I let her take my hands

“The pleasure isable to talk with Sophia-sa”

Because of Sophia, I’ve been having a very fulfilling life filled with ro this fulfilling life right now I definitely want us to keep getting along from now on

As I said so, Countess Ascarot that seehtly

“I’lad that Sophia was able to make a wonderful friend like you!”

Then, following his wife, Earl Ascarot was also bowing his head towards me

“I would also like to give my thanks to you Lady Katarina Claes, thank you from the bottom of my heart”

“Ah, uh, I would like to as well, yes”

The overly beautiful couple lowered their heads together towards me, and I becaht that I could do the greeting properly, and now it’s all coht

However, even though I was co at me in a friendly manner Hoonderful and kind these parents are

And so, both of theirls” and they left the guest roo at them from from behind, they’re so beautiful

After the two of theo of my breath ……I was really so nervous

Well…… For the ti

I think that it’s the fault of ood impression on people as opposed to if I had an ordinary face

Even when I shly likely to turn into the sarcastic smile of a villain Just like that time at the castle’s tea party, it’s only sadfrom me

While staring at the door that the Ascarot couple had left fro secretly to Keith next to me

“They’re very beautiful, kind parents”

“Yes, I agree”
