I now got a co before me
He had the sa, and I could sense the blood relationshi+p between him and hiselse was different From his cool-headed point of view, to his tone of voice, and even the way he silently looked at others; rather than Lady Emma he probably took after the head of…he took after his father
I smiled, conified air, like a wintry
“It must have been four years since last met in person If I remember correctly, the last time was for the celebration of your ninth birthday”
“…………”
Even daunted to some extent by the atmosphere which made it hard to approach him, I forced myself to make conversation
It really had been a long time, so I didn’t kno to start, but it was less discoh!
“You’ve grown really tall Although ere around the saht before”
Silence
“Is auntie doing well? It has been more than half a year since I’ve been able to visit, but I trust her physical condition hasn’t gotten worse?”
“…………”
Silence
“She seeood spirits from the letters I received, but there really are a lot you wouldn’t know unless you met in person”
“…………”
Silence
Hey, please make some sort of response This is really aard
Could it be he didn’t remember me? ……can’t be, earlier I swore I heard him say my name
Georg kept looking at me like a block of stone, silent It bothered me
“Georg…?”
“…………Miss Marie……?”
Oh He finally spoke
Georg blinked, lashes so long wo I followed the motion with my eyes, and I smiled in response
“Yes”
“……!!”
There was the sound of breath catching His stared at me ide eyes
Unknowingly, I copied his expression What was his problem?
I tiltedback at the confused and lost Georg
His beautiful face flushed bright in an instant
“?”
He was red to the tips of his ears like a ripe fruit, and I stared, a little taken aback I had no idea as going on at all
What, what? What the hell happened, young man?
“Eh, ah…uh”
Mu step forward, and I wanted to tell him he shouldn’t
“Uh, Georg…”
“Whaa?!”
And then, sure enough, he wavered
Right away, he planted his hand down on the desk to save hian to fall from the desk
“Gaah!”
The sound of rustling pages rose into the air with the avalanche of books and docuh the air, and his elbow knocked over a pot of ink with great enthusiasm
“Ahhh!”
The emptied pot fell hard on the floor, but thanks to the the carpet it did not break The ic state, and Georg picked up the safe documents in a panic
However, like lively fish splashi+ng around, the documents fell to the floor
What a disaster
“Agh! Wait…”
“Um, maybe…”
TRIP SPLAT
“…………”
“…………”
It ht be difficult to tell frouess what happened
What I just witnessed live was Georg first taking a precarious step and falling over himself as he chased after the documents But the scattered books and documents were at his feet
He lost his footing, and fell when he pitched over the books, diving to the floor There was nothing else to explain
An extremely unpleasant hush fell inside the roo
What sort of expression should I make at a time like this?
“I want to die,” Georg whispered in a low voice from where he’d face-planted on the floor
I understand your pain, but live on!
