Nevertheless, His Highness treated everyone to a slightly big cookie during break the next day.
Everyone was surprised by this sudden event. And, they only took one cookie each while looking nervous.
The room was strangely tensed.
But, that lasted only for a second. Even if they were timidly eating the cookies, it was too delicious and it was impossible for them to keep feeling nervous once they lost their senses.
That was how delicious that cookie was.
May I have another one, Your Highness?
Theres a lot so its fine.
There were even guys who wanted a second one without hesitation, there were even guys who bit into the cookie and then just stared at it.
His Highness was the focus of the children.
His Highness, who was looking for a reaction from the easy to understand children at first, looked relieved. When our eyes met, I felt like he was trying to tell me something. However, that was interrupted by a somewhat excited voice that was asking him if he liked sweets as well.
But as for me, I did think 『Are these guys going to be alright? They got pulled in by things too quickly』. Well, they were still children and it was a gift from someone they would serve in the future, so it was fine.
I walked to the fountain where I spoke with His Highness on that day after the study session.
His Highness was already there. He was also holding the white cat. His Highness and the cat noticed that I was there at the same time.
It went really well, didnt it Your Highness?
Thanks. Its thanks to you Vernoux.
He put down the cat who was struggling in his arms and slowly stood up.
I didnt know that it wasnt that hard. Sorry I doubted you.
Its okay. Its because Your Highness chose a sweet that everyone liked.
The cookies were probably all gone. They were familiar with it because it was a cookie theyve all eaten once before. And, I didnt even think it went well I have no intentions on confessing this. His Highness smiled while I was thinking that.
Then, I should thank mother. But, mother would probably tell me this 『If so, then thank Vernoux』. The one who told me to do it was Vernoux after all.
I dont think he was just awkward, he was probably embarrassed as well. Your praise is more than I deserve, I had replied, but I was disturbed so the words turned out a little monotone. Nonetheless, His Highness didnt read too much into it.
His Highness began to walk slowly. I felt like he was telling me to follow him, so I slowly met my pace with his. The place where he went to was the garden.
Ive read it in a book before, so I knew about the word friend. But, I didnt know what a friend was and I didnt know if I could make a friend. It wasnt clear to me from reading it in books.
He spoke as he entered the gazebo and sat down. I stood next to him and thought about the meaning of that word.
It is very presumptuous to be friends with Royalty.
I was unwilling to feel sorry for His Highness, but I had the courage to call him a friend. When I said what I had honestly thought, I heard a voice leak from His Highness, Gah. Then, he tried to hold his stomach and press it down.
Vernoux, youre interesting, arent you?
Do you think so?
Yeah. Youre interesting because you say things clearly.
