The Feeling Called Love (Chapter 9)

For Nicolette, her daily life inside Hainzel E that was always full of surprises In the first place, for Nicolette as raised inside the monastery, it was hard for her not to be be surprised from stuff that happens in the outside world

Since co to the Hainzel Empire, Nicolette realized how small the world is where she lived most of her life She cae The impact was as if her monochrome world was suddenly filled with colour

Possibly, if she kept living inside the monastery, she wouldn't envy the outside world Her mother Beatrice told her various stories about it Not only stories about science, but what kind of vast world there was just outside theNicolette happily listened to those stories, and i in the worldbased on them

Those tiht of leaving the ht that the outside world would just be a dream for her

However, she ended up leaving theto the outside world, and it's not like she wasn't sad to depart from her beloved people, and places Even if it was by order of the king, she didn't want to do it, but there was plenty of way to evade it The reason she didn't do that though is simply because her curiosity of the outside world suppressed that

Since Nicolette is a selfish person, she prioritized her own curiosity

There was just one thing on her mind, she loved the people fro to her,

”You poor thing, getting locked up in a place like this”

Getting locked in that place is true, so she wouldn't refute it Was I really a ‘pitiable’ person? For her as raised in thequite a fun life, was she really a ‘pitiable’ person?Even though she never thought that, having people refer to her as a ‘pitiable’ person, made her unsatisfied somehow

Nicolette wouldn’t understand about the world because she has lived inside a cageNicolette, she totally lacked life experience, there are a lot of feelings that she couldn't understand ‘Pity’ is one of those feelings

Also, ‘Love (Koi)’ and ‘Love (Ai)’ were also feelings that she didn’t know (TL: Ai and Koi is more than like; it's love, desire, and lust, the two have alh~ I'll ask my teacher)

The psychological thing about feelings is also outside of Nicolette's field of expertise Since she doesn't understand it, she didn't explore ave to her is the one called, ‘Love (Ai)’

The outside world was ht, it was very interesting to her But, because she is now exploring this vast world, there surely will be things that she had troubles with Having sos work, that's what she said to herself, but her feelings still couldn’t accept it For her, who didn't have to clean up after the messes that she make, she felt weird In the monastery you have to clean your own messes, if you can't handle it by yourself, you can ask for another's help

This was a thing different compared to the monastery that she couldn’t catch up with But it seeht, she has adapted to the lifestyle inside the castle to the extent that she thought ‘AAh~’, I got used to this eh…”

However, even Nicolette had a high adaptability and had a thing that she can't get accustomed to It was about her on paper husband, the Hainzel E

Though he suddenly thrusted a knife at her throat on their first night, Nicolette didn't really ized after that, and in the first place, he didn't really think about stabbing Nicolette that night

Rather, the fact that he gave Nicolette ‘freedom inside the castle’, her first iood

After that, they had tea together, dined together, and started talking together Nicolette thought that perhaps the ‘Cruel E alorried about her She knew that there're people ere asked to observe her, but she felt that those people also worried about Nicolette's a lot

That's why Nicolette loved them all Since Nicolette knew that they loved her back, she can love them without worry

However,

””

””

The feelings that Nicolette harbord toward Wolfgang, as sitting in front of her glaring at him, was a condition that Nicolette called ‘Love (Ai)’

Since she thought that, she absent's face, then their eyes aze after that was kind of aard, she decided to keep her gaze, and since Wolfgang also didn'tat each other Gazing into each other’s eyes wasn’t so at each other

Leaving Wolfgang aside, it was rare for Nicolette to glare at her opponent, and thus, Helma timidly asked,

”Her Highness…?Is there so?”

”Ah…u why each person has different eye colours”

Though there was a slight lag to her answer, that supposedly doesn't look unnatural It wasn't only today that Nicolette glared at soang sighed,

”You, you're not gonna say that you wanted to exaht…?”

Nicolette gave a smile

”That was of course~ On the top that I have scarce knowledge inpeople up is still scary…”

”So, you have so you are scared of”

”You know, Wolf-sary okay”

She was also a bit angry when he said that she has gained weight, what did Wolfgang really think about Nicolette? As expected, she wouldn't be that much of an eccentric

Looking at Nicolette who puffed out her cheeks, Wolfgang smiled As he s softened up quite a bit Getting a bit flustered, Nicolette was trying to avert hertea
