58. Noah Beleia (4)

Yesterday, when I was tricked by Shione, it was really annoying.

Jealousy means jealousy.

Perhaps it was because of a misunderstanding, where did Shione’s confused appearance when she met Noah go?

Because you laughed all day long and didn’t try to separate from me.

How many people are there in the castle?

That’s because many of the attendants employed by a country’s palace are from aristocrats.

Carrying Shione with you while enduring their suspicious gaze is also a very hard job.

‘It would be fortunate if there were servants.’

Other nobles are also crowded with the queen’s coming-of-age ceremony tomorrow and the banquet at night.

What good is it for a grown-up daughter of the count’s family to be so close to a servant like me?

‘What the hell kind of wind blows it like this?’

It is very burdensome for Shione, who has been getting more and more bold these days.

Look, it’s still the same now.

Chorong Chorong.

Shione, who is lying spread out on the bed with her blanket wrapped around her, is staring at me again with her head sticking out.

What the hell is new about the faces you see every day? Aren’t you tired? My face is going to wear out, so I want you to stop looking at me.

“hehehe.”

This bastard doesn’t even know how I feel, and it’s nice to meet her eyes.

Because if I stayed in my room like this, it was obvious that I would fall into this infinite cycle until I went out to the banquet that was to be held at night.

I called Sione’s name.

“Shione.”

From noble mtl dot com

Knock?

Instead of answering, Shione tilted her head.

Just tell me why. It seemed like it was too much of a bother to talk about it, though it felt a bit disgusting to see her head bobbing.

I skillfully endured the urge to lay down a chestnut and continued.

“Do you remember what we talked about yesterday?”

“You mean what we talked about yesterday? As for what we talked about yesterday… Making things right again with Noah?”

“This is the story we talked about after that.”

“If it was after the story about Noah.”

Shione let out an airy laugh as if seeing me as insignificant and cute.

“Are you saying you were jealous?”

… What am I supposed to do with this kid?

I knew it was an illusion caused by a simple misunderstanding, so I kept quiet.

I never thought I would see such a reaction. It’s unfair, it’s unfair.

I let out a small sigh and shook my head.

“I mean, let’s take a look at the garden inside the castle.”

“Ah, the garden.”

Judging from the reaction, it seems that he completely forgot about it and only remembered about the garden after hearing my words.

“Now that the weather has entered autumn, you should be able to see flowers that are different from those of summer. Instead of just staying in your room like this, why don’t you go see some flowers?”

“Good idea. I need to get ready to go out.”

“Excellent choice.”

Shione got out of bed and stretched her.

Shione warms up her stiff body by raising her arms to the sky. With her movements, her top was lifted to reveal her dainty navel.

Until the first time I saw him, he was so fat that it wouldn’t be strange if he died of diabetes soon. To think that I would become so slim that I would not be envious of others.

I feel proud at the thought of saving one person.

Perhaps I was staring too hard, but Shione grabbed my upper clothes with her hand. As expected, Shione’s cheeks were flushed red.

“What, what are you looking at? !”

“It is force majeure. Didn’t Sione-nim suddenly stretch out in front of me?”

“… I guess I was staring too hard for something like that.”

What the hell were you thinking? This time, Shione starts looking at me with a coy look.

“If you are interested in my body—”

What else is this bastard talking about?

I immediately cut off Shione’s words.

“Don’t worry, it’s someone else’s body, and I’m not interested in the stomach at all.”

At my unwavering assertion, Shione’s cheeks start to turn red as if they’re about to explode.

As expected, he seems to be aware of what nonsense he was trying to say.

I spoke briefly to Shione, who began twisting her body as if she wanted to hide in a rat hole.

“Change your clothes and make your appearance neat. I’ll be waiting outside.”

Nodding.

Leaving Shione with her head down behind her, she left her room.

Leaning against the wall by the door, she sighed in her exhaustion.

“Haa… ….”

I’m already tired of what I’ve done. I wonder how much harder it will be at the banquet tonight.

As if announcing the end of summer and the arrival of autumn, a cool breeze brushed the bridge of the nose, conveying the sharp scent of autumn.

When I was in the Beltrin Mountains, the sun was so hot and painful. Today’s sunlight was warm rather than stinging, and warm rather than painful.

“The weather has improved a lot. It seems to be the perfect weather for flower viewing.”

“I agree. I’m glad the hot days are over.”

“Sione-sama knows a lot about flowers… Can you tell me about the flowers that bloom in the fall?”

“Are you saying you’re asking for something you can go and see?”

“Isn’t there a big difference between seeing with knowledge and seeing without knowing? I just want to hear from Sione in advance and take a closer look.”

“If that’s what you mean….”

Listening to Shione’s story, I visited the garden.

According to the flowers Shione pointed out.

Cosmos and chrysanthemums bloomed beautifully in the garden.

Moreover, clusters of bell flowers are often mixed in between, adding to the cuteness.

After all, it must be the garden next to the palace.

Not only the well-groomed flowers, but also the sculptures placed here and there are amazing.

So you’re looking around the garden.

“Shione… !”

Like yesterday at the clothing store.

Someone called Sione’s name from a distance.

She has glossy ebony hair and is quite short for a man. Moreover, he is a handsome man with a mild impression.

It was the Noah Beleia I saw yesterday.

“Why is Noah here… ….”

“Didn’t Sione say yesterday that Noah likes flowers too? It looks like you came to see the garden like me and Shione-sama.”

“Okay… ….”

“Since this is an opportunity, how about looking around the garden with Noah-sama?”

“… Right now, Ray, I want to walk in the garden with you.”

“Are you going to miss out on this great opportunity?”

There is nothing better than mutual conversation to redefine or develop relationships between people.

The place we are now is none other than the garden. Not only do Shione and Noah’s interest in flowers overlap, but Noah seems very happy.

You can’t miss such a good opportunity.

I don’t like Shione either, but I wonder if she thinks the same as me, and she couldn’t openly reject it.

“I will be watching from behind, so please talk to me in peace.”

“Can I do well?”

“I believe that if you are none other than Shione, you will be able to do well.”

“… That is a very heavy belief.”

I moved to the back of Sione.

Then, Noah walked up to Shione with quick steps and waved her hand to Shione.

“Hello, Sione… ?”

“… Okay. Hello, Noah.”

However, the awkward atmosphere was unbearable.

“I thought I could only see you at the banquet today… I didn’t expect to meet Shione here.”

“… I never thought I’d meet you in the garden. I went in well… ?”

At Shione’s question, Noah smiled warmly and affirmed.

Noah asked, examining Sione and her surroundings in the garden.

“Anyway, a garden…. Shione doesn’t like places like this very much?”

Shione shook her head at Noah’s words.

Noah’s pupils move along with her gently swaying hair.

“… At all. I like flowers and gardens.”

Surprise and joy spread across Noah’s face at Sione’s words.

For a moment, Noah embraced Shione’s figure with round eyes, and smiled softer than before.

“Lies. Shione hated flowers, saying that they were not womanly. Even when I asked to go flower viewing with her, she always ran away.”

Come to think of it, what did Shione say yesterday? She says that back when she was close with Noah, she didn’t really like flowers.

I remembered what Shione had told me about the reason she likes her flowers.

-Because flowers bloom. Getting out of stuffy and dark seeds, putting down roots, blooming buds, and working tirelessly to eventually bloom. Aren’t you very proud?

The reason why Shione likes flowers is probably because of her yearning for flowers that, unlike herself, she eventually produces beautiful and brilliant results.

Listening to Shione’s story, it seems that she knew Noah even when she was polishing spears and magic, which she had no talent for.

But seeing as Noah doesn’t know that my master likes flowers. It seems that Shione started to like flowers after she started escaping into her room.

That’s why Shione seemed to be trying to bring her up in order to let her know how she felt about her own flower.

“Actually—”

“Maybe… Is it because of me?”

Before I knew it, Noah began to say what she had no idea about.

What on earth do you think is the reason why Shione came to the garden?

Me too. Same with Sione.

We looked at Noah with absurd feelings.

“I thought Shione had forgotten all about me… she still remembers I like flowers.”

“Uh… ?”

“Did you come all the way to the garden on purpose because you thought I would be here?”

The already twisted thoughts of each other become more and more twisted.

“Thank you, Sione.”

And the more the relationship gets twisted, the brighter and more energetic Noah begins to treat Shione.

I don’t know the details. It seems that something terrible is going on in Noah’s head. Shione is helplessly pushed by her Noah’s pace.

I started watching them with interest.

In the meantime, Shione couldn’t possibly accept Noah’s words.

With the expression of a child facing a very difficult problem, he glanced back at me.

I nodded her head, sending her eyes wide enough for her to see through my intentions.

-The atmosphere isn’t bad, so let’s keep going.

-Really?

– Would it be fake?

No matter how much it is said that it came from Noah’s misunderstanding. You can’t just kick this good atmosphere with your feet, can you?

Shione sighed and went back to her conversation with Noah.

“By the way, how has Shione been lately… ?”

“Fortress… Nothing else, except she started practicing her bow.”

“A bow?”

Noah expressed doubt at the word Sione’s bow.

This is a natural reaction.

Hey, if Cianella’s daughter didn’t have the talent for her sword and spear, I would have thought she would have mastered a weapon similar to that.

An unfamiliar weapon called a bow came out of nowhere.

“Didn’t Shione want to be a knight? But a bow…….”

Shione’s eyes deepened at Noah’s question.

“… Because my idea of what an article is has changed a lot. If at first I thought that swordsmen who handle sword auras like our ancestors were knights.”

Shione slipped her head and met her eyes.

“Right now, regardless of the type of weapon, I think a person who has the power to save and protect others is a knight.”

Shione smiled and met Noah’s eyes again.

“… How is it. If you think so, isn’t the bow bad too?”

At Shione’s words, Noah shook his shoulders.

“Shione… ….”

How the hell did you misunderstand Sione’s words this time?

Tears began to form in Noah’s eyes.

No matter how sensitive the men of this world are.

Dodaechae Noah, why is he barely able to squeeze out the juice with just this amount of words….

Is it because he’s Shione’s childhood friend?

At least in my eyes. Noah Beleia, this man is not normal either.
