The Noble Girl Living in Debt

Agnès Reverge will never be involved in Bernard's life again-but he thinks so, but will suddenly meet again.

It was good to say it was a fateful encounter.

◇◇◇

On that day, Bernard, who finished work, was changing from a knight's attire to plain clothes in the changing room.

Wrap a tie around a shirt without wrinkles, and wear a jacket (jacket) and pants on a well-maintained bodice (vest), which is not the latest shape. Finally, he put on his cloak.

Bernard has been obeying his parents' words, "Beware of dress in the royal capital," since childhood.

A lot of knights commuted to work, and they were allowed. However, she thinks that it is irresistible if she gets caught up in an unfamiliar place other than working hours, so she comes and goes in plain clothes.

After changing clothes, walking along the corridor of the barracks, I encountered my boss Lazar.

"Oh, tired"

"Good work"

"What's your date now?"

"No, not."

Lazar, who did not know Bernard's commitment to the troops, saw himself dressed as a knight and misunderstood that he would go out with a woman. Deny immediately.

Lazar, thirty-five years old, is the second son of a certain aristocrat and married with a wife and child. He said that he was living in a proper home.

"What a good story."

"I don't have that."

Relationships at work are also important. He also said that he was happy to participate in the party's drinking party on the weekend.

"See you tomorrow"

"Yes"

Bernard waits for his boss to leave and tries to get home again.

He tried to pass through the guard post, holding a copper bracelet, a proof of the knight, in one hand.

"Please, please!

"No, no! Visits other than family are forbidden!"

I was rubbing with a knight and a visiting woman. But that was trivial for Bernard.

Sometimes this happens.

A woman who looks down at a good-looking knight, such as after a night party, comes to see her.

Naturally, personal visits are not allowed during working hours.

Passing quickly beside the woman and the knight, showing the knight's bracelet as a passport, thinking that it is sorry.

But here was an unexpected situation.

"Orrelian!"

Somehow, the knight trying to get rid of the woman stops Bernard.

"I'm sorry she said she wanted to see you--"

"What?"

It was Bernard that the woman was eager to meet.

Peek into the woman behind the knight, thinking of what she likes.

She was wearing a brown hood and wearing a worn out worn dress. As the north wind pierced the skin, she simply wore a thin coat that covered her shoulders.

I have a basket in my hand. It was covered with cloth, but I found that it contained sake.

At first glance, she was dressed as a village girl in the countryside, but she was afraid of her face.

Woman has shiny gold hair, blue eyes like jewelry, and white skin.

And it was a beautiful woman who was surprised.

—Agnès Reverge.

Before the impossible figure, Bernard is stunned.

"Ah, that seems to be outside of working hours, so the rest ..."

Then the guard post knight returned to his post.

Twist your neck to find out what you're doing, and come up with something.

Bernard went to the foreclosure of her house. So I think I'm grudged.

At a glance, Agnes stared at Bernard in a terrible form.

I am convinced that you have come this far to complain.

However, he was in confusion.

Can I be angry at Agnes with irreverence, or should I be sorry for the sorry situation?

Including her current appearance, there was too much head difference when I met her at a night party.

Agnes, who stops staring, speaks in a voice that seems to disappear.

"Ah, that, Be, Bernard Orlérian?"

I want to say that it is a difference

But Bernard, who is not willing to lie to others, replied.

"Please forgive me for coming like this."

Bernard thinks it will.

All the expensive items in the mansion were taken out.

A number of Agnes dresses were one of them.

Again, Agnes narrows her eyes. Bernard saw it and was frustrated.

What kind of business is it?

Be patient to try to tongue out.

"Wow, I, the one who relies on me, no matter where I go ..."

I knew that my shoulders were shaking.

After all, he sighs big as if he came to hit his grudge.

I thought that I should hit anything and everything. However, Agnes was stuck in words or turned down.

Silence rules the field.

Bernard decided to return silently, but at the same time came up with a good idea.

It was also a modest revenge on Agnes, who had been brutal until now.

It's very cold today.

I decided to make a quick decision.

"Nah"

"!"

Agnes calls out and raises her face down.

I was hurt for a moment by the clinging expression, but I continued my words.

"If you can't go, I'll hire you as a servant at my house.

Bernard's idea was to let Agnès, a natural daughter, work.

I thought it was nasty, but years of resentment exploded here.

It would be a humiliation to be sympathetic to poor nobles.

Looking down on a woman in pitiful circumstances with a sad feeling.

On the other hand, Agnies has a pokan expression in Bernard's words.

It was a resolute and noble face that she would never show to others.

I thought that revenge was a success just by seeing it.

Bernard further hunts Agnes.

"Decide here right now, because if you come later, you won't hire.

"!"

Agnes drops the basket she was holding. From inside, bread and baked goods came out.

Everything is cheap, like everything is sold in downtown, and Bernard thinks it's surprising.

She just looked up at Bernard's face, stunned, not minding the dropped basket.

Lowering the eyebrows and continuing to look at Agnes with moist eyes becomes increasingly difficult.

Bernard could not be a villain.

I thought I didn't want to drag today and tried to apologize.

"Um, after all"

"Is it true?"

"What?"

"The story you can hire is"

Bernard did not catch up with what he was talking about.

"I was going to take my mother's look to the pawnshop after this."

"Memorandum ...?"

"Yes. It's an embarrassing story, but the money runs out."

Agnes was on the verge of hunting more than Bernard thought.

He said he was happy because he did not want to let go of his mother.

Increasingly, Bernard was confused.

"Well, what did you come here to begin with?"

"Ah!"

At that time, Agnes notices the basket dropped on the ground and the contents scattered around.

Squat down and pick up.

"I'm sorry. Thanks to Orlarian today."

"Huh?"

Watching Bernard's reaction, Agnes hugs the basket tightly in her chest.

"Thank you, you can only buy bread, sweets, and sake ..."

She spent the remaining money to buy thanks for Bernard.

Continuously muttering sorry that this was the best I could do.

I was wondering what kind of thank you was, but it was overshadowed by the next shock.

"--I work hard and I will always pay you back."

"!?"

In other words, Agnes sheds tears suddenly.

Bernard, whose brains couldn't catch up before the unforeseen development, just looked down at her with her eyes wide open.

--How did this happen! !

While thinking like that.
