Chapter 60 (2/2)
And then we arrived at a roo that I noticed was the scent of alcohol
That powerful scent caused ri in the ain!?”
Rui demanded an explanation from Romel-ojisan from beside me
”What, it's an anticipatory celebration An-ti-ci-ptory! To celebrate a certain soement to the cute Melly-chan”
However, Romel-ojisan's words momentarily rendered him speechless out of shyness
”M-My Melly is…… loudly, Father threw back another glass filled with alcohol
……though I'
”……I apologize for my father, Duke Ar me Romel-ojisan like usual is fine Come on, Gazelle Calo hoarse~”
”No, but Melly is……!”
”You already knew that this would happened Didn't you bring her here after resolving yourself?”
Ro
”I-I did but……”
”……General Gazelle”
Inserting himself into their conversation, Rui approached and called out to theo, he turned a sharp gaze towards Rui
Hisand dreadful was the saeneral
”……please perhter, Mellice Reese Anderson”
”Do you love Melly? Can you swear that you will protect her with that body of yours?!”
”F-Father……”
When I was about to call out to Father to stop hi so
”Yes, I love her I love she who is always earnest in everything……however, I do believe that it would be difficult to protect her with this body”
”……what?”
”It's sihter Mellice is probably much more skilled in the military arts My skill in the sword is only at the level of being a hobby at most When it co this body as a shi+eld”
Father looked at Rui with a stern expression
His eyes were co face even co with the army
”……for I, whose military arts are far inferior to hers, to protect her, I will continue to polish my military arts And then with those arts, I will protect her”
After hearing Rui's words, Father remained silent for a short while, but then suddenly let out a large sigh
”……I see”
Together with such words of enlightenment
”……Romel! Join me! It's a pre-celebration!! Let's mix in some breaks and drink until dawn!! On that note, you join as well, Rui-dono”
And then he whirled around and suddenly yelled such words
”……alright! Let's drink 'til dawn!!”
”F-Father! If you'll be drinking until daill you do about your work!? ……rather, I have work as well, so……”
”Father! You'll be causing a bother in staying here until dawn! And, will Father's work be alright as well?”
” ”Don't say such stiff things! At least when you're celebrating, forget about work!” ”
Even when Rui and I tried to stop them, it didn't seeged in, and the three of them started to drink
……as for me
As expected, it would not be proper for a lady to stay in such a place, so I was teht to another roo to recover Father after he had becoh I aether with Rui, I wonder if Rui will be okay?
It can't be helped, since Father is a heavy drink after all
Thinking about that, I became absentminded for a short while
This cal that I haven't felt at all lately
It felt like the corners offrom my reflection in the tea that a servant htly e over here”
The le woman entered the room
That woman was extremely thin, and as a whole looked quite pale
Her epheaze on her
She sat down in the seat in front of hter My name is Aurelia I am known as Aurelia Lal Armelia I am Romel's wife, and Rui's mother”
Fascinated by her, I was in a daze, but returned tothose words
”N-Nice to meet you! I am Mellice Reese Anderson! P-Please treat
”My, how energetic……but, I entle tone of voice from start to finish, in the middle of it, her tone chilled to the point where it felt like the air instantly froze over
”It is improper for a lady to use such a loud voiceIn addition, speaking so rapidly is difficult to listen to, and gives the listener a sense of disco, for soh my entire body
However, I could not pull back here and thus put strength into ut and eyes
”……that was terribly rude ofable to ot myself”
When I responded like that, Aurelisaan to giggle
Unsure of what to do at her unexpected reaction, I could only stare at her in blank amazement
”Ahh, how funny……I'm sorry, it was just far too enjoyable”
Aurelisaather in the corners of her eyes
As she wiped theain opened her ood But, you mustn't allow your opponent to perceive that so easily They do say that a look can say more than a thousand words, correct?”
”……please excuse me”
”Mellice-san I have heard about you from my husband”
In other words, she knew that up until now, I hadn't properly learnedon the oing to say that I was not suitable to be married into the Armelia Ducal House?
”I will not ask about what you have been doing up until now What is important is what you do fro I was asked by my husband to personally oversee your education but……will you be able to persist?”
I wonder why
From start to finish, Aurelisaentle smile
Despite that, to , ”If you are to wed into the Arht? You have to at least have that a feeling where she wouldn't let me say 'no'
”Of course I have ed by your guidance Please take care of me”
……however, there was no way I could lose to this
I probably still haven't been recognized by Armelisama as Rui's fiancée
That was precisely why there was no way I could run aiththe case, then let us promptly start your lessons tomorrow Only, it is already quite late today, so please return ho over, but as expected it would be bad for your reputation to stay over beforeFather, I sighed internally
”……I apologize for my Father”
”It is fine It is likely a result of e Starting fro you co you Please treat me favourably”
And thus, I left behind my drunken Father, and followed Aurelisama's directions and returned home to the Anderson House
