Ch.33 True Feelings

Wait a second, Duke. Just now, did you say that you will break up with your sweetheart?

Moreover, somehow the cause of it, is me? And I have been left out of the conversation? What is this?, this situation!

“Umm~, can I have a word?”

The eyes of all the people in this place instantly jump over to me who has uttered this.

I am very sorry to force my way through the space of the Duke and Calendula’s staring at each other (glaring?) but, it is because I think here, through, the courage I have summoned up, I must get confirmation.

“What is it?”

The Duke removes his gaze away and, looks in my direction. Later than the Duke, Calendula also faces my direction.

“I am very sorry for interrupting such an exciting [conversation] but, there is something I want to confirm.”

“Something to confirm?”

“Yes.”

I come forth from hiding behind Dahlia, to a place where I am able to directly see the Duke. however, as ever, Lotus is between Calendula and I.

“You said you will break up with your sweetheart but, in that situation how will the contract with me end up?

“Huh?”

“Eh?”

The Duke and Calendula simultaneously become stare in wonder.

“After all, I am a decoration wife based on your sweetheart? What is it called if She is gone? Originally it was to cover up.”

I think it is not that surprising? Did I say something odd? I tilt my head and think but, nothing comes to mind.

“Well, that is right……”

“Therefore, it means my position has become delicate.”

“Why?”

“After all, if Duke, and your sweetheart, you can now you can probably go out with anyone? To borrow Duke’s words, just because Her origins are like that, you are unable to get married. If it is a person of suitable social status there would be no problem at all.”

“Certainly, as I said.”

“If that is the case, the decorative me will become unnecessary. Rather perhaps I should say a hinderance.”

“But what I said was to break up with Calen, not to break off the marriage with you, Viola! Rather I think Viola is pleasant so I think, for sure, that I want to break up!”

In a hurry the Duke comes over to me walking briskly with those long legs. Coming close to me his face is at a higher position than me so I have to look up at him, which is painful. However while I plainly focus on those dark pupils,

“Even though you have abruptly said such things, I have not looked or thought of you, Duke, in such a manner, so it is troubling.”

At last I have ended up saying my true feelings.

“Is it like that, after all?”

Listening to my true feelings the Duke is obviously crestfallen and drops his shoulders. His beautiful eyebrows are also now miserably drawn in a frown.

“Because, did not Duke say in the beginning that you have a beloved sweetheart?”

By no means, who would have thought that, that target would shift to me!

“At that time it was true! However the more I encountered you, the more I talked with you I was charmed by Viola!”

The Duke declares testily, his face going red.

“For arguments sake, let us assume that is true, is it not two-timing, so to speak, if you are coming and going between the detached building and here?”

“……”

As expected it is awkward, he averts his gaze.
