Chapter 28-30 (1/2)

28 Jealousy Jealousy

With that, we

were friends, and I was allowed to visit the Palace The chamberlain came up to

get his attention again

Although I took

the Palace visit perlad that he wasn’t displeased at my

request

He eventually

left with the chamberlain and the door closed behind them

As soon as the

door shut, Mother collapsed back in her settee laughing

‘Hahaha, like

father like daughter…’ she said (Zuben: I was going to say the sa)

My Mother

laughed herself silly, Father sighed as he turned to look at me

‘You have to

study a bit erous waters’

That…? How am

I like father?!

♢

When we got

home, I received a lot of words from Father, and was told I should reflect But

on what should I reflect?

Now I’

in bed thinking about it But hts inevitably turn to General Brennan I

became a bit anxious

General

Brennan wanted me to be his wife He kissed my palm It had made me embarrassed

enough to blush, but I felt happy and nyonnyo

His hands were

so big, and he smelled like a forest And his baritone that reverberated

throughhazel

eyes…

It’s too nice!

General Brennan, I love you! I pushed s

in excite at me? What a

miracle! Perhaps because of this, I have used up all ood luck

(Zuben: You haven’t it's just the beginning!)

I would like

to be engaged as soon as possible, if possible, before the General could change

his s will be fait accompli It would be possible if the

General’s feelings change Thinking of the engagement makes me feel impatient

I feel

insecure

Our ages are

vastly different, I have no special skills, I am not a absurdly beautiful My

personality is soeneral

very well, and he doesn’t knoell either If I think about it deeply, our love

sees like beliefs and

s

Yet…'I want to

see you, General Brennan’ I say to the empty room quietly

We ht meet

and get to know each other better and think “This person is different from what I

io and I want to see you already

Even if I say it out loud, I know it’sand talking

I want to see

you, but can’t meet

I don’t know

hoe can meet What excuse do lovers of the world use? I wonder if you would

like to see me too

I sighed

My darling,

where are you?

My thoughts a

like a bear in a cage; going round and round That thought h to

myself

There was a

knock on the door, I called out and Marie came in,

‘Milady, it is

tea time Cook made lemon pie!’

Tea would

nice, but I didn’t feel like eating for soed me to

our drawing room Did she want to eat the lemon pie that much? When we entered

the roo room was filled with bouquets of pink flowers

‘What is

this?’ I asked Marie

‘They are from

General Brennan for you, lady’ She said proudly

It’s a lie

Mother put her

cheek in her hand and looked at the floith a soft grin, ‘In flower

language, the arrangement means “You are attractive”’

‘Why is Mother

so detailed?’

‘That is what

Oliver told us’

As expected, I

didn’t think Mother was the kind of person to be well versed in flower

language But ould a butler know about flower language?

‘The charm of

the young lady is finally appreciated! You did it!’

I looked at

the flowers, General Brennan do you think e could be

unintentional He ement because he liked it

Even so, I’m happy

My face is

pink

I took a seat

and Oliver gently set tea and a slice of pie before entle smile,

‘It’s a good

thing, Miss’

‘Thank you’ I

said as I picked a piece of the pie I had thought I didn’t want it, but the

refreshi+ng sweet-sourness filled me with joy

♢

I chatted with

Mother and Marie for a little but after tea A little while later I headed back

to my room On my way, I was stopped by Oliver He handed me a while envelope,

‘This came

with the flowers I thought you ht prefer to read it by yourself’

I quickly

looked at the sender and ot hot

‘Thank you,

Oliver’ I said Then I quickly returned to my room

I went

straight to myseat and opened the seal

It was from

General Brennan of course His feelings ritten out in a dignified

handwriting He said he wanted to meet me and hold me He had been jealous

seeing et the wedding

sorted as soon as possible (Zuben: Before someone else comes and carries his

kitten off)

Oh my

goodness! The letter made me feel feverish and shy

He was

jealous, it makes me happy

I was also

jealous of the Prince as close to General Brennan

Lets also be

friends!

Chapter 29 Volker: Men who are not good at standing?

I returned to

ency Nicolo informed me that my adoptive father

had come to visit

He has long

since retired fro and

active due to a long army carrier

I communicated

with Nicolo with our eyes, “Isn’t it just my father?”

“It’s still

urgent,” he replied (Zuben: They be psychics!)

I went to my

reception roo some tea

‘Father, are you

alright? Why the sudden visit?’

He had never

come to see me at work before He eventually moved from the Royal City to live

a quiet life in the country with my mother And he never asked for much,

neither did he co about this

‘I am fine I

have come because I heard a little rumour’ He replied

The bad

feeling turned into a surety

The rumour is

probably about the incident at the theatre In other words, he’s come to ask

about Fredericka I took a seat across from him, and my father looked at me

quietly

‘Volker, are

we getting a daughter in law?’ he asked directly My father really preferred to

be direct I smiled, I hadn’t seen him for a while, it was nice to know father

hadn’t changed
