The Noble Girl Living in Debt

Agnes and Bernard went to the botanical garden together.

Bernard reaches out to Agnies as he tries to climb the stepping platform when riding the carriage provided by the inn. Surprisingly, his servant was natural.

Agnes thanked him and took his hand out.

About 30 minutes swayed by a rattle and a carriage. Arrived at the botanical garden on the outskirts of the city.

At the counter where you buy the admission tickets, a large sign was posted on the side to let you know that it was the world's largest. A map of the park is handed along with the admission ticket so that you will not get lost in the park.

Bernard, who purchased the admission ticket, looks back to Agnes and asks.

"--Well, which one should you capture, young lady?"

"That's right."

The servant was doing well, but the lady who said he couldn't perform was awkward, as reported.

Bernard frowned at the situation. He pretends to fix the ribbon at Agnes's chest and whispers close to him.

"Agnès is too suspicious."

"……I'm sorry"

Due to being ashamed of being pointed out, or being suddenly approached and shy, Agnes suddenly dyes her face red.

Bernard sees such a situation and pushes up the edge of the displaced glasses with his fingertips and exhales.

After all, I was tempted to challenge my grandfather if I couldn't do it.

"……let's go"

"Oh, yes"

Bernard decided to expand the map of the park and try to capture the vast botanical garden.

◇◇◇

The botanical garden, which has a history of 150 years, displays well over 10,000 species of flowers.

It was composed of thirty gardens, fifteen greenhouses and two artificial forests. It was a place where you could take a few days to look around, rather than being able to go around in one day.

"The world's largest tree, crystal greenhouse, wetland area, animal-touching forest ...

"Yes. Above all, a greenhouse imitating the Crystal Palace seems to be famous."

The Crystal Palace is a building built as a venue for the World Exposition in the neighboring country. The exterior, composed of iron and glass, was beautiful, inviting the viewer to sigh.

Greenhouses modeled on it have gained popularity among tourists.

"Everyone seems to be heading there."

"Well, let's look in the opposite direction."

"Is that good?"

They were tired of the crowds at the port and walked in a quiet direction.

After a short walk, you will enter a high-grown tree-lined path.

Under the sunshine, the sunbeams glistened brilliantly.

"Healed"

"That's good"

At last, Bernard looks at Agnies's profile, as his expression has eased.

I thought she was the one who really needed rest, not herself.

After the fall of the Earl's family, he went to a downtown area without any help, and worked unfamiliar with his daily life and was taken over by the house of Bernard.

Anies squeezed the handle of the broom until her hands turned red, and desperately cleaned it.

I had poor eyesight, and I couldn't do it for my servant.

After that, he came to play a fiance with the invasion of Bernard's mother, causing great trouble and hardship. On the way, she is kidnapped by those who seek her mother's hidden treasures and suffers violent violence.

Bernard thought that the wounds at that time would not be easily healed.

That's why I think it is important to refresh in this way.

While walking through the lush forest, I heard a high-pitched woman's voice blaming someone from a distance.

"what--?"

From a distance, there were about thirteen to fourteen girls cramming up to men who seemed to be staff members of the botanical garden, and a man who seemed to be a servant.

I think Bernard is squinting and troublesome.

I wanted to go in another direction because I didn't want to get entangled, but unfortunately the forest was straight.

Walk as far away as possible and try to pass.

Closer, it turned out that the girl and his followers were foreigners.

Luxury embroidery using gold and silver thread is applied to the dress with a collar that seems to be a national costume.

The two foreigners had unusual black-purple hair in this area and had a very beautiful appearance.

Whether the hair is tied to the culture of the country of origin, the girl made the braid into two buns and the servant's man knitted it together.

While proceeding with cautious steps, the girl who turned her back was sensitive to the signs of the people and looked back at Bernard and Agnes.

――Hey, you guys think so too! ?

They are suddenly spoken in a foreign language and open their eyes.

Bernard asks Agnes what she is saying, but if she is not sure, she shakes her head.

"Probably from the outfit, it's from Dahua Won."

"I also came from a distant country."

Dahwalwa is the country that boasts the largest land area in the world and has prospered with tea, silk, ceramics, and goldwork.

It was well-known that there was a high awareness of the people and that many people were strong.

Bernard and Agnes looked away from the rumored eyes-they were shy.

The servant of the beautiful face invites his hand and shows him to come close.

I decided that I couldn't ignore the face, so I approached it reluctantly.

If you ask anything, your servant will translate.

"Your lady seems to be lamenting that there is no bamboo grove in the garden here. You're saying you'll think so."

Bamboo forest …… It is a forest in Bhutan where a group of bamboo plants grew.

Anies who heard the story speaks in trouble.

"I have read in books that the humidity and temperature needed to grow bamboo are not enough in this climate."

Agnes thought that there would be nobody who came to see the sober appearance to make a greenhouse, but he couldn't say it.

The servant's man translates Agnes' words.

"Yes, that's right. That's okay. But you know bamboo. This man, an employee here, didn't know bamboo. ''

The servant tells Bernard and Agnes the words of the girl and asks them to hear them.

"Bamboo is amazing! We make containers, make home materials, and they are strong and hard to break. I knew?

Agnes listens eagerly to talk about the greatness of bamboo.

On the other hand, Bernard secretly sighed, saying that he was caught in a strange thing.

"Hey, what are you talking about, and why don't you talk slowly at a coffee shop there?

"... Your lady wants to talk to you, what would you like to do?"

Agnes looks back at Bernard.

"Please do what you like, Miss Agnes"

"If so, it's a great opportunity, so a little-"

There is rarely an opportunity to hear from a foreigner.

Agnies will be spending time with the girl at the coffee shop.

The coffee shop inside the botanical garden was an outdoor facility surrounded by greenery.

Tea and cakes made with flowers and herbs are famous.

The girl's name is Fu-Chue Ely. His follower is Jean-Kou En.

"What is your name?

"The lady wants to know her name."

"My name is Agnes Loeve ... No, Antoine."

Kou En tells the girl Sh Eli.

"Yeah, Agnes. Who is your follower?

"I want to know the name of my servant."

"Well, he says Miel."

After all, Agnes breathes lightly from relief.

Bernard, standing behind him, muttered so that he couldn't hear him around.

Then, the foreign exchange meeting starts.

When she could read the text, she spoke proudly while looking at the menu table. She says she decided on herbal tea and a rose cake. Agnes also ordered the same.

Sh Ely was a cheerful talker and the topic was not exhausted.

However, as he talks about himself, he becomes the story of his mother.

"Mom, she died a year ago. I'm sad, sad, and nervous, so my father goes on a trip and distracts me.

In the same way, Agnes, who lost her mother, is crying when she sees Shu Erie.

A handkerchief was offered to a girl who had started crying.

After the rest was settled down, Shu Erie muttered with a look at the handkerchief handed by Agnes.

"This is a wonderful embroidery. Where did you get it?

It was made by Agnès, stabbed by his beloved cat Miel. He says that he was impressed with that.

I asked her to take it home if he wanted.

"Thank you. But it's boring to get it for free. Let's bet by playing with cards. "

Anies listens to Koen's interpreter and lowers her eyebrows when she is in trouble.

But I ended up battling with a card without being refused.

The cards were familiar in this country. It's a very simple one, dealing out five cards and competing for the role.

"I also bet on my hand. Ko En

"Yes, here."

On the desk is a silky handkerchief with a nice touch. If Agnes wins, he will give this.

Bernard thought that this was a strange development, but he waited to see if the betting handkerchief was OK.

The first time Agnes won. For the second time, Sh Eli wins.

"Agnès, let's do it again!"

"The lady says she wants to have fun again."

Agnes is desperate and willing to accept it once.

But, contrary to expectations, Sh Eli said he would bet on something ridiculous.

――Let's bet your squire this time?
