"That's not true. There's no reason to hate Sir Ivan or you."
"But... Did my brother bother you again?"
"He didn't bother me..."
"Then did the marquis bully you again?"
"It's..."
"Long time no see, Lady Rudbeckia."
Oh, I was caught in the end.
I took a deep breath and turned my head.
Flamboyant soft clothing, fresh chestnut hair, and black eyes like the night sea.
I didn't think he was much different from the last time I saw him.
"Long time no see, Alphonso. I didn't expect to see you here."
"Does that mean you're happy to see me?"
"Are you here to attend the match?"
"Oh, no. Never mind. A knight under my command is scheduled to attend, but the number of participants is so prominent that I don't have many expectations."
Adding jokingly, he looked at Leah and smiled.
Leah was shy, mumbling something similar to a greeting, and ran toward her nanny.
"My lady is still the same."
"What?"
"You ran away from me then, too."
You heard about me running away from him? Is there a mousehole I can hide in?
"You didn't even give me a chance to say goodbye."
"At that time, I..."
"Of course I understand. You couldn't help it."
How can I greet a man who has fallen into ridicule because of me?
All I can say is I'm sorry.
But at that time, I couldn't even say it freely. Just like I couldn't even enter the scene.
"Alphonso, what happened back then..."
"No. It's okay, my lady. It's all over. Now I'm getting used to being made fun of."
Are you being sarcastic?
I carefully raised my eyes and looked at Alphonso's expression.
A friendly smile same as the one in my memory.
As if there was no resentment left, it was a smile that was forgiveness itself.
I couldn't believe he was the same man who helped our family collapse in the original.
It was natural that the attention from all sides was focused on this side as the two of us stood side by side.
What a ridiculous combination was this?
However, Alphonso didn't seem to care much about others watching with excitement.
"I'm afraid you're still worried, but I actually got engaged a while ago."
I had already roughly known, but I opened my eyes wide pretending to be surprised.
"Did you?"
"Of course, there are still people who tease me. I think the men would have teased me anyway."
"It's a relief that you met a good person..."
"It really is a relief. I'm so glad you seem to be like that, too. If I were a more courageous man, I would have caught that luck."
