83 – Princess is still ashamed

It was fine until she got some advice from Shuri, but as the next day approached, Ariel had no idea how to suggest this.

Before becoming a lover, there were many times when he did not hesitate to drag him somewhere without asking his intention, but now he was reluctant to do so.

Even the reason I decided to bring up this proposal today was to tell him what I couldn’t say, so I didn’t want to ask for a tryst like that.

A little more in line with the formality of the successor of the Loveheim family.

I wanted to show a neat attitude enough to hold the outstretched hand from the other side.

‘Because I leaned on Ed every time.’

After becoming lovers, most of the date schedules were set by Edgar himself.

Where to go, what to do, what to eat.

There was a time when Ariel thought it was a natural difference between a gentleman and a lady, but looking back now, he could see that it was a very shallow idea.

In an equal relationship, shouldn’t there be times when one side pulls and sometimes the other side pulls?

I also thought that it might have played a part in getting used to him because I was so childish.

So today, Ariel called him to take a walk while looking around the castle for a while.

It was like a kind of paving stone to propose an appointment to be held in a while.

“What are you doing?”

“Huh!?”

Ariel, who was standing in the hallway waiting for him, shuddered at the voice she heard from close range and turned her head away.

Sure enough, the man she had been waiting for was standing there with a puzzled look on his face.

“Hey, pretend to be popular! you stupid!”

“Did you pay? I’m not some kind of assassin, and I’m going to delete even pretend to meet you.”

“I-I really… … ?”

“Because it’s real.”

On the contrary, it was Ariel who was dumbfounded by his attitude of shrugging his shoulders.

I guess I was too lost in thought.

There’s no point in worrying about it already, so it’s more important to come to your senses and enjoy a walk with him.

“… I wish you would come let’s go.”

“yes. But what kind of wind suddenly blew? They looked around the castle and said there was nothing to see.”

Edgar always exclaimed in admiration for the neatly decorated landscaping of the Loveheim family castle, but Ariel, who had been watching since birth, always snorted.

When she suddenly told Shuri that she wanted to take a walk around the castle, it was Edgar who even wondered where he was in pain.

“Go, sometimes it’s okay! Sometimes!”

“Well, your whims are not yesterday or today.”

“what?”

“No, Princess. Let’s go.”

Seeing her eyes sharp enough to hear a tingling sound, Edgar quickly rolled up his tail and guided Ariel with his own hands.

Ariel, who had glared at him as if threatening to watch him, took a step back only belatedly, and responded that he would step back as it is now.

Edgar let out a sigh of relief from behind, without even hearing it.

As we left the fort and headed towards the garden, the neatly decorated landscaping and the waterway stretching underneath welcomed the two of us.

A sight that Ariel is still not even inspired by.

However, when Edgar glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, a faint smile formed on his lips, and she felt somewhat satisfied.

The problem is that I’m not sure how to proceed with this next situation.

“… … .”

“… … ?”

Edgar put on a puzzled expression as he watched her silently move forward with her mouth closed and without even talking at all.

Normally, I would have heard people say why she was following me from behind or that I should escort her properly, but today she was especially quiet.

‘What should I say?’

That would be the case, because Ariel’s mind was now chaos itself.

As if he forgot how to have a conversation, he didn’t know what topic to bring up to solve this hard atmosphere.

That said, ‘Let’s go to Etlé tomorrow!’ She didn’t even have the courage to say that.

In the first place, I wondered if that would fit the order of the conversation.

Because it was her last pride to want to propose in a more natural atmosphere.

“Eh, Ed!”

“yes?”

At times like this, it was her wish that Edgar would come to her first, but she couldn’t rely on him forever.

In the end, Ariel, who eagerly shouted his name with the feeling of trying it out, brought up a topic that seemed to cool down because the steam couldn’t leak out.

“today’s weather is good. Is not it?”

“… It’s full of clouds.”

Edgar replied by pointing upward with his index finger as if to look at the sky.

For a moment, there was a clear look of bewilderment, but Ariel did not succumb to it and continued to force herself, which is her specialty.

“Guy, cloudy weather is nice too!”

“uh… It doesn’t.”

To be honest, it was a welcome weather for Edgar, who is more prone to heat than cold.

However, I do wish there were less clouds.

There is shade everywhere I go for a walk, so I feel like I’m going to have a good time.

“Why are you so far away today?”

“Me, me?”

“Then, who else is here besides you?”

She seemed to be a little far away from a while ago, so when he tried to approach her, she would quietly move away from her for reasons that didn’t work, such as saying that the flower that bloomed somewhere was pretty.

In the end, Edgar, who was worse off, strode closer to Ariel and hugged her by the neck from behind.

It was so violent that someone would think it was a scene of a kidnapping of the Grand Duke’s family.

“Hey, it’s out here. you idiot… … !”

“What about outside?”

None of the people who deserved to see this scene were unaware of their relationship.

What’s more, what’s a little repugnant to Edgar is that she sometimes makes such remarks about subjects that she has embraced first, as if to show off to others outside.

The thought of being her and not being Edgar stirred up his mind for the first time in a while.

“What are you doing today?”

“What… … .”

“Look over here and tell me. Don’t avert your eyes.”

After making her turn around, Edgar continued to talk while looking down at her while keeping her waist tightly sealed and locked in his bosom.

Ariel had no choice but to raise her eyes and face him cautiously, with the mischievousness of a moment ago gone.

“It’s strange. Saying he wants to take a walk in the garden, which he didn’t usually do, he quietly avoids talking about topics that don’t work. Besides, you avoided me a while ago.”

“Oh, I didn’t avoid it… ! that’s… … .”

“that’s?”

As if telling him to hurry up, he took over the back story and asked, but Ariel only pursed her lips and slightly avoided her gaze.

‘Is it really boredom?’

That appearance was frustrating for Edgar.

Amman, even though he can read Ariel’s mind well, there are still things that can only be known through words.

As I tried to avoid it endlessly, misunderstandings piled up and gradually led to bad thoughts.

I wonder if it’s still too early for boredom to come, but it was impossible to be sure because it was an unknown territory for Edgar, who had never been in a relationship.

Besides, each person will have a different point of cooling off to each other, so how can you measure that?

That said, even if you just keep an eye on it, there’s no way you’ll see any signs of getting better.

In times like these, it is more important to actively address the problem.

“Ariel, be honest.”

“What… … ?”

At Edgar’s quiet voice, Ariel widened her eyes, wondering if he had noticed the incident.

But what came out of his mouth was something completely different from what she expected.

“You didn’t hate me, did you?”

“… uh?”

Why do words like that come out of nowhere?

Rather, I couldn’t like it, and even now my heart is pounding and it’s hard to put it to sleep.

Ariel slowly looked back at the situation from a moment ago, wondering if she had done something that could be misunderstood.

He did things he didn’t normally do, hesitating as if he had something to say, but he didn’t have anything nutritious to say, and on top of that, he forced himself to distance himself… … .

‘ah.’

Only then did Ariel regret belatedly, thinking that he had committed an act that could have been misunderstood.

Why did you do that?

I just want you to act normally and at the end of the day, sneakily suggest a date.

I did something that I didn’t even want to do and planted anxiety in him.

prison.

“Ariel?”

“… … .”

Ariel, who had been watching him blankly, laughed and buried her face in Edgar’s chest.

The fact that he, who had always waited for her in silence, asked her openly like this must mean that he was very concerned.

It felt like a sigh would come out of my own self with a sense of skepticism about what I was doing.

I didn’t want to wait for him to know me, so I decided to approach him first, but as a result, I ended up wanting the same thing from him again.

If you don’t tell me, you won’t know

Wasn’t it the fact that she realized most desperately through what happened with her father?

“Ed.”

“I am listening.”

Edgar’s eyes were still full of affection as he looked at Ariel, even though he had asked that question a moment ago.

“I love you.”

“… what?”

“I love you.”

“Uh, uh… I did listen.”

Edgar scratched his cheek awkwardly at the unexpected confession.

That would also be the case, because Ariel had expressed affection first, but had rarely spoken the words of love.

Edgar thought it was probably because of shame, but it meant that it was a rare sight that mattered anyway.

“Hey. Tomorrow, I have a place I want to go with you.”

“Where is it?”

“Will you go with me?”

“Sure.”

Seeing him give a definite answer without even asking where, Ariel smiled brightly.

“I’ll tell you then. So can you wait just one day?”

“I will. I’m sorry, I think I made it in a hurry because of me.”

“Ugh, no.”

Ariel shook her head slightly and buried her face in his arms again.

It is her fault that she is still clumsy in dealing with him. It’s never his fault.

“Actually, I was going to tell you to go play tomorrow too. The timing was right.”

“Where is it?”

“You want to go with me?”

“of course.”

The two repeat the conversation from a while ago, only changing positions.

Realizing this belatedly, I burst into laughter without anyone saying it first.

“Have you heard that there is a place called a lake that does not freeze in Ettle?”

“yes? If there… … .”

“Looks like a familiar place.”

Rather than a place she knows, isn’t it the place she suggested we go to now?

Ariel tilted her head, wondering if this was just a coincidence, but soon smiled and nodded as if she liked it.

I want to see him surprised when I tell him where we will meet tomorrow, so I’ll leave it for now.

For now, I wanted to enjoy the feel of this bosom even a little more.

Lately, I hadn’t fully enjoyed this cozy sensation in his arms.

A mischievous smile appeared on Edgar’s lips as he watched her rubbing her chest like a cat.

“Ariel, please tell me one more time that I love you.”

“Oh, no! This time, I said something special!”

“Uh huh, suspicious? Isn’t love cold?”

“Chi, for real!”

You brought up these words right after you asked that question a moment ago.

It is the mentality that I will not let you go unless you openly tell me that I love you.

In the end, Ariel was captured by Edgar and was only able to be freed after spouting out the words that he loved her in an ant crawling voice.

Still, seeing him happy made me feel like I had to say something sometimes, but I was also a little shy.

Why? To say I love you is more embarrassing than kissing him or being held in his arms.

Even though it was his own mind, there was no way to really fathom it.
