SOS!!! Hey 1STKISSNOVEL! DO NOT STEAL MY TRANSLATION!!! \n* * * * * * * * * *
âI donât think that Gentleman is your ideal type.â
After confirming that Manuel had left, Siegfried spoke up.
I also noticed that his lips were redder than usual. (T/N: Oy, where you looking at?)
âIâve never looked at Sir Manuel like that.â
âIs that so? But heâs looking at you with that look.â
âHow do you know that?â I asked Siegfried.
But he opened the terrace door as if he hadnât heard me and went outside, so I chased after him. I had a reason not to leave him alone.
âHave you been drinking Your Highness?â
Abbysion, who had sent all the nobles back, was the one who found me and Siegfried.
Had it not been for him, I would have stayed up all night sitting on the patio.
It was almost dawn when I returned late as I changed into pajamas and took off my makeup.
Manuel offered to go for a walk before, but it seemed impossible now.
I went to bed and closed my eyes. I guess I was pretty tired too, so Suma came to me quickly. (T/N: Suma refers to our eternal enemy â drowsiness/when youâre sleepy, that you canât fight it and just let it lull you to sleep.)
It was already lunchtime when I opened my eyes again. I woke up just in time to start preparing dinner.
I hurriedly washed my body and changed clothes then I went to the kitchen to make sure that a sufficient amount of food was being prepared.
Time flew by, and soon it was time for dinner to be enjoyed.
I changed into a dress that fluttered like a butterfly and headed to the dining room. Most of the nobles had already gathered there.
Siegfried also came down early and greeted the guests.
Siegfried, Abbysion and Millard were sitting by my side, occasionally laughing at their jokes.
He seemed to have gotten to know them quite a bit while staying in the mansion. Thatâs why he must have had a drink with Milliard yesterday.
Itâs good for our family to make friends with the male protagonist if possible then it will be easier for me to escape the danger of becoming Eisaâs fiancĂ©e.
But I also donât want to go anywhere beyond friendship with Siegfried. I know the young male lead, and thatâs all he is to me; I hate complicated things.
âLady, please sit next to me.â
Apparently, there were only men in the restaurant, and I was the only woman, so their gaze was naturally focused on me.
I sat down next to Abbysion, rejecting the proposals of nobles my age.
Sir Manuel also sat next to me, but somehow I couldnât move my feet towards him.
It wasnât because of what Siegfried said yesterday that I shouldnât have that relationship with Sir Manuel.
However, since Sir Manuel said that he sees me that way, I thought it would be better to keep some distance.
The last person who came in was seated, and the dinner began in earnest.
As we drank several glasses of wine, everyone started to raise their voices with a slightly flushed face.
â⊠so this year will be over soon. Last year, there were many people who did not even show up.â
âI have no choice but to take care of the estate. Fortunately, I have time this year.â
âWasnât it because you wanted to impress the Crown Prince?â
After all, Siegfried was popular with both men and women.
The nobles who attended the dinner each approached Siegfried to share a word with him, and Siegfried dealt with them as if he was familiar with them. Even though he had been restrained by Eisa, a prince was still a prince.
And from time to time, I happened to meet Siegfriedâs eyes, which were also quietly staring at me.
(T/N: I quite liked this drunk Siegfried xD)
