Rieta thought Noel’s filial piety to defend his father’s private letter was quite beautiful.
However, it was quite regrettable that the face sending the signal was very ugly.
His eyes were wide open, and he was rolling his eyes toward the floor as much as possible.
. . . She would have to advise him not to show this to the female lead in the future.
Because there was no woman in this world who would want to date a man who looked like that.
In any case, Rieta quickly picked up the letter as he had hoped.
“. . . I am fine now. Don’t worry.”
After confirming that the letter was unharmed, Noel shook the butler’s hand and smiled awkwardly.
The butler looked down at Noel with great concern.
“Are you really okay? You made a great scene.”
The butler didn’t dare say, ‘You rolled your eyes to the point of being frivolous.’
“Uh, uh. It hurt at the time, but now it’s all good.”
“You’ve had symptoms like that before, but it can’t get better so easily. Shall I call the doctor?”
Noel shook his head in horror. The doctor was terrifying.
Because all they give is the stinging and the bitterness.
“It’s the Duke’s representative’s decision. Noel Mayer is healthy. So, the butler can go back to work.”
Noel, who spoke like that, had the face of a ‘naughty child facing a huge prank’ today.
“. . .”
The butler stared intently at Noel’s face.
From the point of view of a ‘strict adult who is questioning something’.
“Why, why are you looking at me like that?”
“Nothing.”
But at Noel’s words, he averted his gaze and began to pick up other letters that had fallen on the floor.
He collected the letters one by one and handed them back to Noel.
“I just thought it was fortunate that the young master looked happy.”
“How can I be happy? It never rains!”
Noel snatched the letter and quickly started running towards his room.
Rieta soon followed after him.
The children seemed to speed up at the first few steps, and soon remembered the butler’s teachings a while ago.
They lifted their heels and began to walk carefully.
“Those two are probably planning something . . . You must have had a lot of fun today.”
Another servant talked as they passed by, and the butler quietly smiled and nodded.

Noel opened the envelope right away without thinking about it.
To receive a lost letter twice was possible.
But three times? That was nonsense.
It must have been that someone had a will to do this.
Of course, Rieta had the same thoughts as Noel.
“So, Noel. I don’t think we should respond to this. In fact, the letters Noel sent until now were also very rude . . .”
If the recipient of the letter formally raised an issue, it really would become a big deal.
Noel’s letter had no consideration or humanity, so his reputation was sure to go downhill.
And just when he was starting to raise his reputation as a young gentleman resembling the Duke!
“What, so you’re going to show the employees these letters?”
“Even if not, at least wait until the Duke comes . . .”
“My father is not a laid-back person with enough time to respond to each of these trivial letters.”
“What do you mean by trivial?”
Rieta was very upset to hear that someone’s earnest affection was considered trivial.
“Besides, my father, who returned from the Duchy’s estate, must have been exhausted both physically and mentally.”
“Yes . . . but . . .”
“But what if they send him a letter like this?”
Noel opened the letter with a triumphant face.
Rieta sighed and sat down on the sofa.
Now, she wasn’t too curious about the contents of the letter.
Even if she didn’t look into it in the first place, Noel, who read the letter, would nitpick every sentence, so it’ll be easy to find out what’s going on.
“. . .”
However, contrary to Rieta’s expectations, Noel holding the letter didn’t say anything and just stood there blankly.
“. . . Noel?”
She tried calling him carefully, but he didn’t move.
When she got up from her seat with a worried heart, she could see Noel’s hand holding the letter trembling.
Why was he doing that? Did it contain scary content? Was it a threat?
“Noel, what’s wrong?”
As Rieta approached, Noel hid the letter behind his back in shock.
The action was so quick that it made a snapping sound.
“. . .?”
As she stared at the strange reaction, his cheeks were unusually red.
“What did the letter say?
“No, nothing!”
He hastily shook his head.
It’s like someone trying to shake something out of their head.
But it seldom seems to work as expected.
Now it was evident that even the nape of his neck had turned red.
Was there something embarrassing about it?
Rieta tried to ask Noel for the letter, but she soon changed her mind.
Noel was stubborn, so he wouldn’t give out the once he hid it behind his back.
