Chapter 54:Ā Human Distrust and Master of Dance
After that, I went to the snack table while being surrounded by Ricardoās friends and snacked for the first time in several years.
The taste of cake after 2 years of abstinence was very sweet and delicious.\nĀ
(Even so, itās so blatant.)
While I watched Ricardoās friends, I felt complicated.
(Somewhat, I was treated harshly before I lost weightā¦ but the difference of treatment is completely 180 degrees as soon as I lost weight.)
It was me myself that wanted to diet, but now I felt a little distrust towards humans.
Without noticing it, I picked the sweets placed on the table one after another and unconsciously placed them in my mouth.
(So happyā¦ dangerous, my hands stretched towards the food because of stress!)
Eating to forget the memory when something unpleasant happened was a bad habit of Britney.
I didnāt remember well since I was young at that time, but when my parents disappeared, I heard that I ate a lot of sweets, as if trying to comfort the painful feelings.
[Britney, youāre just standing there for some time, are you alright?]
[Iām fine, since Iām trained by ojii-sama.]
Among them, only Ricardo who interacted with me normally could be trusted.
(A-a, it would be easier if I could get engaged with Ricardo. But it would be difficult since Iām rejected twice already.)
He is the second son, and in the manga he was a follower of the crown prince Marlow.
Although there may be a rumour of him succeeding the neighboring territory of Astaire Earldom, it was still uncertain whether itās true or not.
If he continued to live in the capital city in the future, his fiancĆ©e would most likely live in the capital city too. I didnāt want to live in a place with death flags.
After a while, Ricardoās friends scattered until itās just the two of us again.
I asked a nearby waiter to arrange tea and sat on one of the many chairs that were prepared.
Looking downwards a little, Ricardo opened his mouth and called in a curt tone. His ears were slightly red.
[Thatā¦ somewhat, you seem different today. How to say, you look beautiful.]
It seemed that Ricardo was fooled by the make-up.
But since I didnāt want to lose my friend to a make-up fraud, I told him the truth.
[What are you saying? Itās because of the power of make-up fraud that I look like a beautiful girl.]
When Ricardo heard it, he almost unintentionally spurted out the tea heās drinking.
[Yes, my original appearance is not as good-looking as Ryuzeās. So I boost it up to the maximum using cosmetics.]
[No, butā¦ is it something that can be done with just make-up alone?]
[If you canāt believe it, would you like me to show you my naked face next time?]
[ā¦That, thatās fine. After this, the dance starts, what are you going to do?]
[Thatās right, Iām not very good at dancing. Iām a little better than I used to, but Iām not confident in it. I wonder if I should just keep still at the corner.]
Anyway, Iām a woman that broke the leg of my dance teacher back at the past. I didnāt want for new victims to appear.
[It will be difficult to keep still. You seem to be attracting a great deal of attention and you will absolutely be called out.]
[Uee, I shouldnāt have done the cosmetics fraud.]
I came to look for a fiancĆ©e candidate, so I want to get noticedā¦ but it was a big possibility that I would get flustered due to the severity of the dance.
[If itās no trouble, why donāt we dance together? If anything, Iām good at dancing.]
[Eā¦? Iām really bad at dancing and I may step on your foot you know?]
[Donāt worry, you wonāt step on my foot. Iāll avoid it by considerable margin.]
ā¦Was he that good at dancing?
I swallowed my words and just nodded since I was saved by this.
