“……Nice person?”

Then Lloyd muttered a little next to her. But Aria focused all her nerves on Veronica, so she couldn’t hear him.

“Gabriel?”

– Yes. Sir Gabriel.

As Aria pretended to be friendly and called his name, a subtle change was seen in Veronica’s expression. She has been living in the same space with Gabriel for 4 years, so it would be natural to think that it was a common name.

‘As if he didn’t even want that.’

But.

Usually, when a Garcia native is sent to Valentine’s Castle, they’ll think it’s lucky if he doesn’t get bullied, let alone have a nickname. The opposite is also true.

Because Garcia and Valentine were known to be bitter enemies externally. There’s no way Veronica didn’t know that.

‘Did you want your knight to be isolated?’

Aria looked at Veronica with a piercing gaze inside. And that moment.

‘Ah!’ Veronica exclaimed briefly.

“As expected…….”

As expected?

“After all, you were as kind as I had imagined.”

“……”

“No, you’re more than I expected. I didn’t know you’re such a beautiful, kind, and lovable person. I’m glad. It’s so…”

She was truly amazed. And she was thrilled. As if she couldn’t have been happier than this, she smiled broadly as her face lit up with a color, and tears welled up at the same time.

“It’s the first time I’ve met you, but I feel like I’ve met my lost sister.”

It’s too much. Aria trembled at the words about her lost sister.

“I’m sure Sir Knight was able to live a little more comfortably in a foreign country thanks to the Grand Princess.”

Aha. So, because Aria resembles Veronica’s sister, Gabriel agreed to the name and expressed his liking towards Aria.

Was this what Veronica wanted to say?

– Don’t say that. I haven’t done anything.

Aria smiled softly after the saint, and squeezed her hand tighter as Veronica was holding it.

– Rather, thanks to Gabriel, I found peace of mind. He prayed with me every day.

Did Veronica hear about that from Gabriel?

When Aria said that she had prayed with Gabriel every day, the expression on Veronica’s face showed displeasure rather than surprise. Because the corners of her eyes are very finely frowning.

“…Found peace of mind?”

Then she heard Lloyd muttering something next to her. This time she listened carefully, but Aria tried to pretend she didn’t know.

The clarification would be later.

– Of course, it will be of great comfort to Gabriel to be by the saint’s side more than me.

“Ah, is that so…”

– You would have been together longer and you would have built more bonds.

Aria smiled. Of course, she said this knowing that Veronica had been with him less than four years.

It was a word that pretended to be in favor of her saint. If he was such a precious knight, she should have kept him by her side, as if sarcastic.

‘I’ve scratched your nerves like this, sp aren’t you going to reveal your true color?’
