The Noble Girl Living in Debt

Return to the Royal City the day after tomorrow. The stay in the port area was also running low.

The time was a time zone where the date changed.

When Bernard returns to his room, he removes the tie that tightened his neck and relaxes about two buttons.

In a dim room, I didn't feel like turning on the lights, so I walked to the chaise longue, relying on the moonlight coming through the window.

The water in the jug was poured into a glass and drunk all at once-but the contents were unintentionally choked with sake.

I wiped my mouth and repented that I was distracted.

I think I should sleep earlier and move to my bedroom.

At first glance, the light was leaking from the door of the next room. Agnes is still awake.

I hit the door, thinking that the length of stay in the port area would be longer and that I should talk about other things.

Agnes responds immediately and the door is opened.

He saw Bernard returning and expressed a relieved expression, and said, “Return home.”

"Is it a little good? I have a story."

"Are you talking?"

"Ah"

Anies understands that it is not a good story because of the atmosphere and clenches his hand in front of his chest and takes a step into the invited room. Miel seemed to be awake, too.

When the door closed, the room was dim.

Bernard groped for a match from the round table near the couch and lit the fire and put it into the corner lamp.

Brightly bright bedroom.

I advised Agnies, who seems uncomfortable, to sit on a bed.

"What happened?"

"No, anything. Please tell me your story."

"Ah"

Bernard grabs Miel's neck, struggling to get up on the bed, and lowers it on a futon. He then reported the change to Agnes.

"The day after tomorrow, I will return to the capital city, but I want you to stay here."

"!"

Agnies immediately opened his eyes and looked at Bernard's face, but looked down on the incident that took place in the royal capital and immediately turned his face down.

She knew that there was a great possibility that she would be able to stay at home if she returned home. So I nodded only once and accepted what was said.

"I think it will take six months, including the resolution of the turmoil, the cleaning up, and various other processes."

"……Yes"

"If you calm down, I'll pick you up, but I can't be honest."

"……Yes"

"I myself have been doing some things and will be punished, and I don't know if I can return to work as a knight, which would make it more difficult to maintain the house."

"……Yes"

"Still-will you follow me?"

Agnes raises her face with a surprise.

He witnessed Bernard's hot gaze and took a breath.

Bernard gently strokes the head of Agnes who is unable to reply.

"Agnès, I want you to be happy. I don't want to have any hardships in the future. So I asked my grandfather to ask him to follow a respectable partner."

In the past month, calm down, face yourself, and talk about your thoughts about the future. The answer that came up many times was that it would always be difficult to work with Agnes.

Thinking of the happiness of the other person, he thought that pulling back was one way.

"But I hate it. I don't want to give you away."

If the case is resolved, redeem your sins and seek stability when your job is stable. I was thinking like that. However, if not, I was encouraged by my grandfather.

It is impermissible for someone to be stolen while you are working hard.

But I thought it was Agnes who decided that.

Bernard stands up from the edge of the bed and kneels on the floor. He thrust one knee and grabbed Agnes' white fingertip.

"I have a lifetime wish"

There were various circumstances that could not be managed. There is no certainty that it will be bright in the future. However, it wraps it with overflowing thoughts.

He thought that if they were two, things would be going on in the future.

I finally say that I have been warming up.

"――Anies Reverge, please marry me"

Agnès hears Bernard's courtship, and Agnes tears from tears. If I could not stand the heat of my eyes and blinked, it would flow down my cheeks.

And this time we will reply immediately.

"I'll be glad to accept you."

When Bernard hears Agnes' words, he stands up and embraces his shaking narrow shoulders.

I was whispering in my ear with thank you and biting my joy.

Then, match the eyes with your eyes and gently overlap your lips.

We have a happy time together.

◇◇◇

Agnes stood up and thanked him, bowed deeply.

"What a thanks?"

"I am grateful to Bernard for taking me."

"Well, you're a lot of luck, and it's I who have to say thanks again."

"Would anyone want to welcome me who is not a noble as a wife?"

"I'm here. That's a lot."

She seemed not to be pinching, and she was leaning her neck.

While watching the situation, Bernard felt from the bottom of his heart that it was good to apply for marriage before leaving this place. Otherwise, I was going to spend my days writhing to be stolen by someone while I was away.

"Well, it seems like you don't seem aware"

"?"

While talking, take out the pocket watch in your pocket, play with your fingertips and open the lid.

One and a half hours have passed since the date changed.

"Sleep too late, sleep"

"Oh, before that, a story from me."

"what?"

It's hard to say, opening and closing the mouth several times.

She was wrinkled between her eyebrows and had a look she couldn't say.

While waiting for words, Bernard captured Miel, who was bouncing by her side, and offered to take her home. The cat that has become dangling is waving his tail happily.

Looking at the figure, you can understand Agnes's nervous expression.

I decided and decided to say what length I wanted.

"--I hope that Bernard and I want a strong connection."

"Hmm?"

I heard that he was connected, and Bernard didn't come close. With Miel in hand, ask for a detailed explanation of what it means.

"Well, does it mean something that is only allowed for a couple, or a night contract?"

"Hah !? Wait a minute!"

At last, you will understand what Agnes wants.

At that moment, she lifted her from her hand.

The cat shows a splendid landing, and screams “Meow!”

Agnes prayed for Bernard to be stunned.

"I'm sure we'll be anxious while we're here, so how can we make it happen?"

I've been patient until now, but Bernard has a head in his mind asking what to say at the end.

Surely, you must have understood the meaning. I'm so convinced.

"Sir Bernard?"

"Oh, you don't know what the couple is doing!"

"I know. I learned from my mother."

"Lie!"

"It's true"

"Tell me what you do!"

(4) Agnes verifies the knowledge given by her mother.

A married couple's contract is an act of having a strong connection with her husband, a sacred ceremony at night.

"--apparently"

"You, sit here a bit"

Agnes had no idea about the couple's agreement.

Bernard decides to push his knowledge firmly.

"Well, what your mother was saying is not wrong, but it's a bit too much.

Since it is difficult to explain everything by mouth, give a step-by-step explanation while drawing on the note paper on the round table next to it.

"Initially this is like this-"

"!"

"And then,"

"..."

"After that, this is it."

"!?"

"On the way, like this-"

"!!"

"Hey, are you listening?"

"Oh, oh, oh, yes."

Agnes turned her face red.

She really didn't know anything.

"This is the end"

"That kind of thing, every time ...?"

"Do"

"..."

He put his hand on his cheek and expressed a shy and confused expression.

Watching the situation, Bernard sighs deeply.

"If you're uneasy, ask your mother or Jizil if you're ready."

I thought this was the end.

However, Agnes grabs the sleeves of Bernard's clothes and looks up with a moist face.

"Oh, you, no way--"

"Yes"

"you're kidding!"

"It's true"

Today's second question and answer session with the same content will be repeated.

"I'm an inexperienced person. Even though Bernard-sama told me to get married, I couldn't wait for marriage and make such a request .... I am thinking. "

"That's--well, yes."

"Are you disappointed?"

"I'm not disappointed."

I knew it was not just frustration.

I can't say that there is absolutely no danger in the future.

I thought that I was keenly interested in the case of the injury to my leg.

"Do you get it"

"!"

"But before that-"

First, Bernard says he wants God to be recognized as a couple.

"To God?"

"Oh, there will be those who swear before God at the wedding."

Bernard said he needed a witness, and grabbed Miel's neck on the floor and sat down with Agnes.

"What did you say?"

"that is……"

—Whether you are healthy, rich, poor, or sick, do you vow to love, respect, comfort, help, and do all your life with the same heart and soul?

Bernard adjusts his own forehead to Agnes's forehead and utters his vow in a quiet voice.

"To swear"

Agnes also swears in the same way. At that moment, Miel rang, "Meow!"

Bernard lifts Agnies sideways and gently lays it on the bed.

And look at Miel, a word.

"You can be there, but it's absolutely in the way!"

Miel reads the air and pours down from the bed to the floor.

Bernard unravels the ribbon on the chest of Agnes, and stops moving.

And a word with a serious face.

"Is this really real?"

Yes, if you ask Agnes--

"Thank you"

I was asked carefully.
