The Noble Girl Living in Debt

Episode 18: Mother Comes

You can hear the heels of your shoes hitting the hallway, ticking.

The person was quickly approaching the guest room.

Faster than that, Bernard's heart is beating like a bell.

He held his fist strongly and waited for his opponent.

Stands at the same time as Eric opens the door. Agnes followed.

An old lady stands at the doorway. He wears a standing collar for the day and wears a fan.

I was standing still, releasing air that was not just a person.

If the eyes met, he bowed to a beautiful lady.

"Good morning, Bernard"

"Oh, hey ..."

The conversation with my mother after a long time was awkward.

When we stepped in between the guests, the air in the room became tight at the moment.

Bernard introduces her mother to Agnies and introduces her to her mother.

I was biting words with extreme tension. I'm so upset that I can't do it, and the more I try to calm down, the more mysterious the behavior.

I couldn't understand the expression of her mother, Oceane, because she opened the fan in the middle of the story and hid her mouth.

I'm squinting, looking at my son, who is warming up.

"Well, if you're Bernard, you're nervous."

"... No, well, yes."

"We're both parents and children."

"I agree"

"I'll do it even if I don't do it," said the folding fan with an elegant hand. Oceane's expression was a smile. However, it is not reassuring.

Bernard remembers what Jizil used to say. "A woman hides her true spirit under a smile."

Being alert to his mother, Oceane approaches him briefly and stares into Bernard's eyes.

"Oh, that-"

I can't bear the gaze I'm searching for.

"--I have a high nose. I'm proud of you."

"What?"

What kind of thing, Bernard turns white in his head.

On the other hand, his mother was smiling with nothing and no mercy.

"I don't know, with a blurry face."

Look back on your actions to see if you have been praised. Is having a woman who associates on the premise of marriage having a high nose?

"Well, I'll talk about that later."

First, sit down and calm down. Just Eric brought tea.

Oceanne misses Eric, whom she met for the first time in several years.

"Eric, by the way, did you get married?"

"No, not yet."

Eric responded with a smile, but Bernard knew well that the emotions would be complicated. Break in between them and let Eric drop.

Shin and the room were quiet.

Bernard could not stand the unpleasant atmosphere and sipped a tea.

It was a herbal tea with a sedative effect, but had no effect on Bernard.

It was just bitter tea.

It was surprisingly Agnes who broke the silence.

Start speaking, showing the cookies on the desk.

"Um, this candy was made with Jizil yesterday."

"Well, that's right."

"That said, I just die-cut."

"I'm good at cutting,"

"Thank you. If you like, please."

"I'll have you"

If you drink tea, eat sweets and take a break, the air in the place will soften a little.

Oceane spoke to Agnes.

"Thank you, Agnes."

We bowed deeply while saying thanks. He is glad that he has decided to marry Bernard.

"Growed up in boys and brothers, and since you've been in the Knights for a long time, didn't the woman be immune and rude?"

"No, that's never happened."

I'm not settled at all.

I don't know if I'm feeling guilty about lying or if I'm ashamed that other people are talking about myself.

Bernard once again contains bitter herbal tea in his mouth.

Oceanne talks about his son's thoughts as soon as he can breathe.

"Mr. Agnes, I think this is a heartache. Suddenly, there would be no words."

"No ... a lot of trouble."

"You're not bad"

"Thank you……"

Bernard did not write in the letter about the circumstances of Agnes's house, but was reported largely in newspapers and seemed to have passed on to mothers living in rural areas.

At the beginning of the fiance strategy, Bernard suggested that Agnes should be acting as the daughter of another house. Because she couldn't imagine what her mother would think of her daughter in the house.

But Jizil quickly dismisses the fact that living with his fiance is usually impossible.

He also stated that Bernard's mother, Oceane, was a loving person and would not oppose any marriage to Agnes, regardless of the uproar.

Therefore, Agnes will carry the introduction as Agnes.

I thought that Jizil's reading was right, looking at her mother wiping tears with a handkerchief.

Sip another herb, herbal tea.

I thought that the effect had come out because I was somewhat calm, but ...

"So, can you tell us how you got into engagement?"

I'm about to spout herbal tea for an unexpected question.

I was prepared in various ways, but I didn't expect to hear it so soon.

Oceanne grips the handkerchief and turns her eyes on her expectations.

Bernard began to speak with a stick reading about the two lies that had been memorized.

"... I met five years ago"

"Well, it's been so long !?"

I was talking desperately while remembering the contents, but my mother's side spear entered and the order flies.

While organizing the next setting, I started talking without permission.

"Anies, how was your impression when you first met my child?"

"Cho!"

He tried to stop the mother from asking a difficult question, but concealed his face with a fan and silently glared at "Do not disturb" so that Agnes could not see it.

I lose my words because I get too sharp eyes.

A glimpse of Agnes's profile seemed less nervous than before.

However, there was no first impression in the settings. I despair if I'm stuck at once.

"I met the party at the evening, and I was the year of my social debut."

"Oh, that's right."

Agnies was a little nervous, but more dignified than Bernard.

I keep talking.

"At first, I was surprised when I heard the name from my attendant. I was obsessed with the story of a bear playing a knight at that time, so I thought I could meet a knight with the bear's name in reality. Without, I'm just worried about who he is-- ''

Five years ago, on that day, it was discovered that Agnes wasn't meaningless looking at Bernard. I was terribly misunderstood because of myopia.

I couldn't even imagine why I was squinting, so I think it was inevitable.

After that, you managed to talk about the dance.

After a face-to-face meeting, she was breathing in her private room, where her mother, Oceane, came.

I came over without Eric, so I was surprised.

"What, what?"

"I'm going to talk a little bit."

I was standing up and my mother recommended a chair for my room.

"... So what is the story?"

"Don't be wary. I just came to talk."

Bernard still leans on her head without understanding the meaning of her joy.

I thought I was glad to be promoted, but I wasn't.

"I made a lot of decisions about Mr. Agnes. It's not a praise to decide without consulting the family, but it's not easy to do."

Agnès's family is not well regarded by the king. If he reveals that he has helped his daughter, Bernard's parents' home, the Orleans, may have been compromised.

"I'm sorry I didn't think about that ..."

"Thank you, territories farther from the royal capital will not have much effect."

If the action that helped Agnes broke, he noticed that he had no idea of the effect on his parents' house.

The mother forgave me, but she repeatedly apologized.

"Well, it's better to leave the engagement announcement aside."

"Yes, I know."

In the future, he was ordered to protect Agnes and not to inconvenience him.

I thought that this was the end, but it wasn't.

"Let's do the wedding on our territory."

"e?"

"Anes's family? Apart from your father, your mother or brother?"

"My mother died early, no siblings."
