C135 Part2

“Hmm…?”

</aside>

At the same time, Ricardo and I turned our heads over there and found Merrill, who stood outside the East room, stared at this side.

(Why was she here?)

There were only a few people who would seldom come to the courtyard, so her appearance may be just a coincidence today.

Unfortunately, as if she had seen all that happened just now.

“Eh? Ah, I, I…”

Merrill stood there with a stunned look, her big rose-colored eyes opened wider.

(Due to Merrill’s love for Ricardo, she must have been impacted by our posture!)

I hurried to explain it to Merrill when Ricardo stopped me, “No explanations”. This time, I stood up with his help and then walked in the direction of Merrill.

“Princess Merrill!”

Merrill interrupted my words, squatted in the place and covered her big eyes with hands.

“No, it doesn’t matter! I’m sorry, I just feel a little surprised. I didn’t expect… I don’t know you two have developed such a close relationship.”

</aside>

“No, this is…”

“Never mind. It’s a fair competition. But I didn’t expect Britney would use your body to court Ricardo.”

In these words, there seemed to be some criticism part.

“Well, I’m afraid you misunderstand this.”

But Merrill didn’t listen to me and began to drift.

“Ricardo is also a man who would be lured by that method.”

Then Princess Merrill was deeply convinced of her own fantasy.

The misunderstanding must be solved as soon as possible, most importantly for Ricardo’s reputation.

However, when I stood out to explain what happened to Merrill, Ricardo stopped me from behind.

Then he went in front of Merrill as if to shelter me.

“Her Highness. Britney is not that kind of girls from the nobles you think. On the contrary, she behaves herself decently. Please don’t demean her as a woman who uses her body to attract the opposite sex. Britney fell down just now. As for what happened afterward, everything was my fault. If you want to criticize, I’m the only one…”

</aside>

I couldn’t help turn around and protest to Ricardo.

“Is that Ricardo’s fault?”

“No, it’s not. It began from my tumble… “

“No, it wasn’t. At first, I fell down and then…”

After a short period of debate, Merrill calmed down.

“I know. I will not tell anyone about it. And I won’t get involved in your matter anymore.”

After the words finished, she staggered away from the east courtyard.

Looking at Merrill’s shadowy figure, I knew she refused further dialogue.
