The Noble Girl Living in Debt

It was dawn from the storm, and the morning was clear outside. Bernard thinks yesterday's stormy weather seems like a lie.

The most damaged attic room last night was wet and unusable. It is possible that the floor planks have to be removed and replaced. I didn't want to think about the cost of repairs.

Listen to the report that Eric talks about in abandoned manner.

Agnies has temporarily used the guest room.

Bernard thought it was just right. While deciding on her treatment, she decides to treat her with respect.

"That's Agnès Reverge."

"Ah"

"It looks like I'm catching a cold"

"Huh?"

"Because I was wet all night last night."

"..."

It was an incredible story for Bernard to catch a cold just by getting wet in the rain.

Seria and Carroll are currently nursing.

"Let's go."

"Why do you call a doctor?"

That's a surprise.

It is not good to see Agnies outside of this mansion.

However, the sick cannot be left alone.

"Should I call a doctor?"

"Oh, oh, but-"

Tell them to hold the money and keep it tight.

Eric bows and leaves the room.

Repair costs include medical expenses and stoppage fees. Bernard's scarce property is being eroded.

I sighed deeply that the next problem would happen.

◇◇◇

Change into a knight's attire and spend time in the rest area until work hours begin.

The third special assault squadron to which Bernard belongs belongs to young knights from the early to mid-twenties.

We had a strange excitement since morning.

What they surround is a cheap weekly magazine. The content was extremely vulgar, with gossip stories written.

This week's issue seems to be sold out. One of the men offered it to Bernard, saying that he had obtained it with difficulty.

"What is written?"

"About the rumored daughter."

"!"

Bernard looks down at the magazine, keeping his face upright.

The cover was a nude painting, but it didn't matter.

The headline reads, "All about the flashy life of the former Earl Daughter and the overbearing heterosexuality-the true figures spoken by those involved-."

I just felt a disgust at seeing it.

One of his colleagues begins to tell the story of Bernard, who appears to be uninterested.

Agnès Reverge.

A 19-year-old born in a famous family, she is the most beautiful woman in the social world who can draw.

She spent her passion and money on keeping her beautiful.

Dresses can only be passed through sleeves made of first-class materials such as satin weave (satin) and amber weave (taffeta). One day, he accidentally fired a maid who brought a dress made of twill weave (surge).

The people of the social world called such Agnes Reverge as "the beautiful rose."

Because she is spending money, she seems natural to be beautiful, and the reporter wrote nakedly about Agnes's luxurious life, while also adding her own opinion.

Regarding the relationship with men, Bernard had heard from a former colleague (Gibril), but a detailed story was told by a self-proclaimed official at the time.

"It's amazing. Change the man every year."

"The abandoned side isn't stuck.

"Mr. Agnes, I was sorry, but if I listen to the story, I will say that I am self-employed ..."

"I saw it at the evening, but it was a beautiful woman."

"But if it costs money and your personality is bad, you shouldn't be married."

Bernard silently looks down at the magazine without joining the conversation.

Before, you may have been involved in bad talk.

But now, I just twisted my neck before the gossip.

Agnès Reverge. ――The worst worst woman who has a high spirit and deserves the price of a person.

However, the appearance of Agnes that Bernard knows is very different.

A woman who is calm, discreet, and takes her father's money with no money.

Agnès, a bad woman, and a very ordinary Agnes.

Bernard doesn't know which is the real figure.

You have only been involved for a short time. I thought it was too early to answer.

When it's time to work, Lazar, the captain, comes in for a morning meeting.

Vulgar weekly magazines were late to hide and were forfeited.

After a day of training, head to the boss's office to report on the results.

When the bell rings to signal the end of working hours, Lazar says to Bernard, "Thank you," and asks him to return.

"--Oh, yes, Orlerian. Please dispose of this."

What was offered was a weekly magazine with the stories of Agnes. Receive it with a bitter face.

"It's terrible."

"..."

Bernard rolls the cover of a not too thick magazine inward and squeezes it.

I was listening to Lazar while thinking I had to burn somewhere and go home.

"I would like to protect her at home if I can, but I can't catch up."

"... Is it okay?"

"What is it?"

"Help the daughter of a house disappointing from the king"

"It's not good, but with such an article, the situation surrounding her would only get worse."

Even though he was cold-handed for his father's case, bad rumors about him came out. He says that things are rolling in the wrong direction.

"She may be hiding in an orphanage in the city."

"Why is that?"

"My niece had been associated with Agnes Reverge, but she went to an orphanage once a week."

Lazar says she was an active charitable woman. What's written in the magazine is probably shit.

"I came to the house only once and greeted me, but she was a polite lady. I guess I wrote something like this to increase sales of magazines.

If you don't want to sell such a magazine, tell them to throw it away.

Then, the silence time passes for a while.

Lazar opened his mouth first.

"Orrelian"

"what do you want?"

"I have to go to a meeting from now on, so I have a request."

Lazar bows his head. I'd like to go to an orphanage from now on, and if there is Agnes, I would like her to be protected.

"If you are, I want you to take me to my house by carriage. I'll give you a reward."

"No, it's good."

"Don't say that, please"

"... I'm going to the orphanage. I'm on my way home, so I don't need any rewards."

"That's right.

The orphanage in the Imperial City was near the carriage. I refuse that I don't need any money because I'm just going home.

I received a note with the address of my boss's residence and headed to the changing room to change clothes.

◇◇◇

Walk enough from the Knights garrison. There is an orphanage just a little away from the carriage in central town.

I couldn't go empty-handed, so I bought a baked confectionery at a nearby store and headed for it.

The orphanage attached to the church is operated by donations from noblemen.

However, the lives of the children living there are not fortunate.

It was not clear how much money was collected and who is in control.

Bernard looks into the orphanage from outside the fence.

A child between the ages of five and ten was running around.

You can tell that you are not living a rich life by looking at your clothes. There were barefoot children.

Bernard, who has lived in a blessed environment so far, was a sight that would make her look away. ――But, I can't just return. I went around the doorway and went inside.

"Wow, customers!"

"Hello!"

I was immediately discovered and surrounded by children. He says that he smells good and looks into the paper bag he was holding.

"Cho, wait a minute."

If the children are messed up, a nun (sister) comes from inside the building.

"What are you doing to your customers!"

The angry children apologized for a word and were scattered.

"I am sorry"

"No, I don't mind ..."

Give the baked confectionery you were holding. When the nuns (Sisters) were happy, they received them with a smile.

If you show your knight's bangles, reveal your identity, and want to hear about Agnès Reverge, they will guide you into the building.

"I tell you first, Agnes is not here."

Be it, Bernard returns words in his heart.

"... Today there have been many reporters, to listen to Mr. Agnes."

The nun (Sister) says she told the same story to every reporter.

"Anies came here once a week. She is a very tender and loving woman. The children were very excited to meet her .... What I talked to seemed to be that they didn't write in the article. ''

She looks at the weekly articles and says she feels very frustrated.

Bernard listened silently.

"--So why is the knight here?"

"No, well, if Agnes Leverge is here, my boss says she wants to protect her."

"Well, then don't worry!"

What are you not worried about? Agnes is at Bernard's house. I was worried why the nun (Sister) would make it so, and asked a question.

"Anies is at a knight's house."

"Hah !?"

Where the information leaked, Bernard scratched his forehead. The heartbeat was getting intense.

"Wh, where, who--"

"I don't know the details either."

"e?"

"Because I heard from my mother"

"Are you from your mother?"

"Yes, my mother runs an inn--

“Noyama no Goatei”. The nun's mother says she's the landlady.

"My house was a large family and financially severe .... Even when I was about to get married, there was no one who thought my wife was a clumsy poor inn and she was a monk. I don't care about this story. "

Like her, Agnes, who has no reputation to go, first came to church to become a nun.

It was the nun who stopped it.

"If you become a nun, you will serve God and you will not be able to get married ... I think it's not enough that Agnes, who was so kind and liked by her children, couldn't get married forever. I did. "

However, Agnes's determination was firm. To serve God for the rest of my life.

"But when I heard that there was someone I longed for, I dyed my cheeks and fell down."

Anies has a favorite person.

It's difficult to achieve love right away, but I suggested that you think for a while.

She (Sister) asks Agnies if she would work at her own home, Noyama no Gotei.

He told me that it might not be useful, so he advised him to cut the accommodation fee by half and work instead.

"So, the other day, Agnès met the knight he longed for and left his inn with his hands in hand."

"I don't yearn, don't hold your hands!"

"e?"

"No, no, nothing."

The nun (Sister) was so excited that she overlooked Bernard's point.

If it's dangerous, stroke your chest down.

"I'm sorry, we would talk too much ..."

"It's fine"

"This story is confidential."

"Oh, I'm not going to talk."

"Thank you"

"Don't tell anyone there."

"Yes, of course. I swear to God and I'll keep it silent on this matter."

The outside was completely dark. The time for the last carriage is approaching.

A weekly magazine about Agnes wrote down a word and threw it into the fireplace.

Bernard says goodbye to the nun and walks to the carriage.

The wind blowing today is cold.

When I looked up at the sky, black clouds were flowing in the wind.

Bernard thinks that there may have been a big misunderstanding about Agnes Leverge.

However, there was one thing I did not understand.

Five years ago, why did Agnes look at Bernard with disdain?

If you actually talked to Agnes and heard from someone who knew her, it was impossible to act fooling others.

No matter how much you think, there is no answer.

And I didn't even know what Agnès had said about the thanks to Bernard.

I noticed that it was better to ask the person directly.
