Rose Flower (Chapter 8)
After Nicolette finished eating one of the cake, Wolfgang asked her,
”By the hat are you gonna do with your flower selective breeding?”
Nicolette, who tilted her teacup, tilt her head while , ”Hnn~”
”Actually, I still don't understand the rules of plantation heredity, you know”
”Even if you said that I wouldn’t understand Please, explain it to me in more detail”
”Okay U is…umm, you know, a kid is born with the characteristics of their parents right?”
”Aah, that seems so”
Due to the sudden change of topic, while still confused, Wolfgang still nodded his head By the way, Wolfgang's appearance is similar to both of his parents, but his face isher, it seerandfather froe, or so she was told
”With these conditions, I want to create a plantation Normally, the time the flowers bloom, the pollen that was on the pistil is carried by the wind or insects to the stamen, and thus the fruit will be created”
(ED: Does the author like flowers that much? XD)
””
”Do you understand?”
Wolfgang answered Nicolette's question while ht Since he didn't even have basic knowledge, he cannot understand a bit what she said Nicolette just laughed
”Anyway, for plants to create fruits, or seeds, an act called pollination needs to occur By the way, pollination is about carrying pollen, which is a thing that I said before This act that is done naturally, but can be done by hu”
”I understand… Somehow, I understand So, what are you intended to do with this selective breeding?”
Nicolette, who cho like she was in thought After chewing the food in her mouth properly, she slowly opened her mouth
”I' to create a new kind of rose, you know With artificial pollination, I can pollinate red roses into yellow ones If Iin winter, with a flower that has a nice aroet a flower that is able to withstand the cold and have a nice aroma Same with that concept, if I e coloured roses”
Though, it's not like it will always succeed, which is what Nicolette added Indeed, just like the fact that not all kids fully inherit their parent's characteristic, even if she pollinated the flowers in that way, it wouldn't make all of the flowers come out the same
”It will be a long tih Well, I will live in this place until I die, after all”
Clasping her hands together, Nicolette laughed
”If you will stay here forever, why don't you try to create blue roses”
Hearing Nicolette’s re had happy feeling deep in his heart, but his ere interjected
”Blue roses? I think that blue roses don’t exist though…”
”Even if you said that, yellow also doesn’t exist, you know… Basically, roses are based on being red and white Well, Orang
e-ish roses exist, so maybe, yellow roses will come into existence”
He felt that Nicolette's experiment was not that hard to understand Well, he doesn't really knohy blue roses don’t exist…
Wolfgang grabbed asugared rose petal froave it to Nicolette
” It’s your garden, do as you like”
”Yep I will”
Saying that, Nicolette choared flower in his hand He was a bit startled when she licked his finger that was sar, but he knew that she didn't have any ulteriora pet
Nicolette took a sip of tea, then suddenly shouted, ”Aah!” Nicolette then gave hiht smile
” You knoant to show you soht, okay?”
””
Calm down, me your opponent is Nicolette, you know The possibility that she just sih Wasn’t that just a o that you said that she didn't have any ulterior 's mind)
As Wolfgang somehow tried to calm his heart, 'Pfft', he heard sohter The one who dared to laugh here is only Marcus As he thought this, he turned his back, and it was really Marcus who burst out with laughter
”Why are you laughing?~ ”
Though Nicolette said sohed was not her
”N, no…It's not Her Majesty His Majesty is, guh”
Look, now Marcus burst into laughter once again Though Nicolette seemed have a questionto explain to her
”Marcus, don't laugh”
”Impossible!”
Wolfgang co didn't quite like it since he didn't knohere Marcus's laughter switch was Furtherhter, there was a tendency that everyone will laugh with hi His face also see
”His Majesty I don't quite understand, but please don't get to angry, okay?”
”You, you don't kno I feel”
Perhaps, she realized Wolfgang's unrested expressions, so Nicolette said that You didn't kno I feel, what a clever thing to say However, that little request of Wolfgang to Nicolette was surely heard by her
”In one way or another, she was do her husband, eh”
A mutter came out of the ht that was a secret
That night, just like what he pro visited Nicolette's room In this room, which he was often visited in the afternoon, it was his first tiht Since the bathroooes to that rooht He knocked, without waiting the knock to be answered, he opened the door And so, It see a conversation with his maid, Maria
”With this, what are the other colours that can be created…?”
“Well, we just recoloured it, after all If we could really ht!”
Nicolette, who realized Wolfgang was in the middle of her talk, turn toward him and smiled Maria, who also realized late, quickly lowered her head
”I am very sorry!”
”No, don't mind it”
”So he said Sorry to h for today See you tomorrow~”
Nicolette said that while slapping Maria's back, as lowering her head With a voice that was fading, ‘Excuse , who saw her leave, asked,
”Did Maria always act like that?”
”That's right But, I think ere closer compared to the time e first met, you know ”
It seems that Nicolette's cheerfulness was able to tame Maria…no, maybe, it was Nicolette as tamed by Maria
”Then, this is the thing that you wanted to show me?”
