90 – It’s not a lie (1)

“…… Shall we go eat?”

Adele’s choice was to draw a line.

She felt sorry for Anastasia, but no matter how worried she was, she didn’t want to make Charlotte feel sorry either.

She said that in the future, whenever she sees Anastasia, her heart will break, but she thinks that it is all she has to bear and she will endure it.

“Anastasia will get better with time, so I think it would be better for her to rest for today.”

No matter how much she pretended to be okay, in Charlotte’s eyes she could only see Adele pretending to be calm in front of her.

He must know.

It’s not that you get better with time, it’s just that you become insensitive to pain.

There will be scars in the heart of Anastasia, who lost her family and was lonely even after time passed.

He knew that, so it was clear that she was secretly blaming herself for saying that she would be with her someday.

“… ….”

Charlotte quietly tightened her arms and squeezed Adele’s arms around hers.

She definitely thought she had drawn the line, but her disgruntled behavior made Adele quickly turn around.

Although she said it was irresistible, was it the problem that she touched Anastasia’s breasts?

Just a while ago, I was wondering if there wasn’t an atmosphere that would cause such jealousy.

“It wouldn’t be okay.”

But the words that came out of Charlotte’s mouth were unexpected.

“Not only Anastasia, but also her mother-in-law who pushed her away.”

It’s like asking Anastasia to go.

It was hard to believe that Charlotte, who was dissatisfied with even being together, defended Anastasia.

“What do you mean…… Still, shouldn’t the line be drawn?”

“Hey, I’d appreciate it if the young master did that. But.”

Charlotte reached out and poked the corners of Adele’s mouth slightly with her finger.

As she raised her finger, an unnatural smile formed.

It was because of the awkwardness that her eyes weren’t smiling.

“Since Chan is so melancholy, how can she just watch?”

“Are you okay?”

“It’s me… ….”

Charlotte hesitated for a moment, then tugged at Adele’s cheek with her fingers, which had lifted the corners of her mouth.

“Of course it’s not okay. Would it be okay if I was like the young master?”

Charlotte vomits her natural dissatisfaction.

“I want you to show me all of your laughing and crying, but since you don’t, I get angry and jealous, but what can I do?”

As she said that, she smiled bitterly.

“But I don’t want you to regret it.”

Adele’s speech choked her jaw. She

She thought she was telling Anastasia to go, but after hearing that, she feels like she’ll be a sinner if she goes.

No, maybe she’s Charlotte, she’s telling herself she’s a sinner.

“Aren’t you regretting it?”

“You will regret it. Ah, if I had captured the young master at that time, I would have monopolized the young master, but he would think the same thing.”

“Then—”

Don’t do it.

As she tried to say

, Her Charlotte’s fingers snapped shut Adele’s mouth.

“Why do you keep getting weaker? Now, Bocchan can’t help it if you say that. Still, you are the only one in my heart Aren’t you supposed to go this way? Well, I like this aspect.”

Seeing Charlotte burst into laughter in her dejected way, Adele also burst out laughing.

Isn’t that funny?

Persuading the other by opposing each other’s positions.

That’s more than what Charlotte said, ‘You’re the only one in my heart.’

Adele smiled and said, stroking Charlotte’s cheek with her hand.

“I can’t help it if you say that.”

“Are you really doing it?”

“… ….”

Adele, embarrassed for nothing, bit her lips tight, and Charlotte shook her hand while laughing.

“Yes, I understand, so please come.”

It’s like saying that even if you go now, the place you’ll return to is by your side.

Adele finally nodded her head in relief at those words that seemed to convince her that even though she couldn’t hold onto her body, she was holding on to her heart.

“…… Yes, go and come.”

So Adele followed Anastasia.

She was left alone next to her Charlotte, and Tina, who was eating a roast boar leg the size of her own head, approached her, watching her closely.

“Are you really okay?”

Charlotte replied, looking at Adele’s back as she walked away.

“What can I do? It’s a losing battle for me, who only has the young master in my heart.”

“No, that’s not what Tina meant.”

Tina pointed behind her with her greasy fingers.

Charlotte’s pupils follow her fingers.

There was a woman standing there.

“I was just saying this because I thought you might have left a precedent.”

Lucy is the woman standing stiff as if nervous.

It was very annoying that she was staring at Charlotte with her eyes hardened with a determined will, as if she had made up her mind.

Charlotte, who had lowered herself to make eye contact with Tina, frowned at her as she raised her waist.

Although Anastasia’s situation is perfect, and she can understand that feeling herself, she sends Adele after a really great compromise, but Lucy in front of her is not like that.

She was a woman whose perception hit rock bottom to her Charlotte.

She is a woman with a track record of putting Adele in her own danger time and time again, and finally putting Adele to bed in her hospital bed.

Even if her feelings for her Adele bloomed at the end of such a story, she even thought of trampling on her heart for hurting her Adele.

Unlike that, Lucy seems to have a crush on herself, who saved her one day.

“What are you doing? As you can see, the young master is not at his desk right now.”

“I-I came because I had something to say to Charlotte, not Adele.”

“Charlotte is enough. So what does she have to say?”

Lucy wiggled her fingers and pursed her lips as if she had something to say but she was worried.

“I know I am shameless.”

“If you know, don’t tell me.”

Lucy cringes as Charlotte cuts her words like her sword.

She said that until a little while ago, when she was with Adele, she was a worldly sweet person, and she was cold to herself. That attitude hurt her heart, but she didn’t mean to back down.

Lucy closed her eyes tightly and screamed.

“I still have to tell you!”

“Ha, what. Yes. Please.”

Charlotte didn’t even look at her as she groomed the chicken she had killed.

The food I want to eat is chicken skewers that I ate at the market with Adele when I was a child.

It’s a dish that can be served at the mansion, but it feels different from eating outside, so I really wanted to try this today.

“I…… I fell in love with Adele…….”

Tak!

The cleaver severely cut off the head of the chicken.

Charlotte opened her eyes savagely and glared at Lucy, her sword in her hand.

She was poised to wield her sword at any moment.

“Charlotte, no!”

Seeing that, Tina hurriedly jumped in and grabbed Charlotte’s body and held on to prevent her from moving forward.

She used to be Tina who couldn’t be pushed back even in a power struggle with a wild boar, but now she was pushed back helplessly like a hyena in front of her elephant.

“There are a lot of eyes here! If you kill it, it will be difficult to deal with!”

At Tina’s impatient words, the attention of the students who were preparing a barbecue nearby focused.

Students whispered.

It’s not a matter of law and humanity, but what happened to the common sense of that kid who stopped murder because it was difficult to deal with.

* * *

Boom!

Anastasia slammed the door and immediately went to the corner of the living room and sat down. She

She squatted and hugged her knees tightly, her shoulders trembling as she put her head between them.

“Bad. When I said I would stay with you…….”

It was not a sincere resentment.

Should I call it a struggle to get rid of her emotions in order to relieve her sadness?

“With that promise… ….”

Tears kept coming out.

Her heart ached at the thought that she had been rejected before she could express her feelings.

He is alive, but he continues to hate the reality of not being able to be with him.

Am I going to be alone like this again?

Some might say that making other friends isn’t enough, but it wasn’t easy for Anastasia.

She approached first, and she was not frustrated by her silent personality, and at the same time, she had never seen anyone who could soothe Anastasia’s loneliness.

That’s why Adele was even more special to Anastasia.

Even though I couldn’t replace her family, I said that I would stay with her.

According to him, she considers him more than a friend.

But now I can’t be with him anymore.

Since she started seeing him as a member of the opposite s*x rather than a friend, Anastasia’s heart became a burden to him.

“Why did you like it?”

From noble mtl dot com

So, Anastasia beat herself in the chest with her fist, blaming herself.

“I could have stayed with you even if you didn’t like it.”

Puck, puck.

Even when Anastasia’s fist hit her chest, it didn’t even feel like pain compared to the pain that emanated from it.

When Anastasia, believing that she couldn’t blame herself for this, tried to hit herself again with her fists clenched so tightly that they trembled.

Chin.

Her wrist was grabbed.

“Anastasia.”

Anastasia lifted her bowed head.

It was Adele who appeared in a world clouded with tears.

He grabbed her wrist tightly and wouldn’t let go.

At first she thought she was seeing an illusion.

There was no way he would follow me to his room, so I thought it was a lie created by his brain.

Then I laughed out loud.

I couldn’t even get an answer and was rejected by him, but even in the midst of this, I thought of him like an idiot, so tears came out again.

The last thing I felt was joy.

I liked the fact that even if it was a lie, he chased after me who had run away and stopped me from harming myself.

“It’s stupid.”

It’s okay if it’s false.

It’s okay if it’s a fantasy that won’t reach anyway.

I’m sure he’ll be fine for now, since he won’t be in trouble.

With that in mind, Anastasia pulled his arm that was holding her own wrist.

She then spread her arms and hugged Adele as she lost her balance.

Yes.

This is enough.

Even if it’s a fantasy, this is enough to calm your mind.

If you realize that her arms cut through the air like this and it’s an illusion, you said let’s eat and sleep and forget about it.

However.

“…… Uh… ….”

Her arms did not cut through the air.

I was blocked by something.

And Adele’s arms, which she thought were her fantasies, were hugging her in a similar fashion to her Anastasia.

“Uh.”

Anastasia widened her eyes.

Adele in front of her was not an illusion.

This warmth permeating the cold body was by no means a lie.
