I Became The Childhood Friend of the Obsessive Second Male Lead Chapter 218

Now, other people also went to look for familiar faces and started congratulating and greeting each other.

At this rate, there might have been someone who wanted to greet Noel and Rieta as well.

Rieta grabbed Noel's arm.

“Let's go over there and talk.”

Rieta had brought him to the corridor outside the hall.

The corridor led to a small lake garden.

On a bright day like today, the light reflected off the lake, naturally illuminated the surroundings.

It was a very beautiful landscape. The place where Noel and Rieta stood was the best place to enjoy the moonlight, as the stairs were bright.

If there was a problem . . . Perhaps things like that didn't matter at all now?

As soon as Rieta reached the railing of the corridor, she questioned Noel.

“What happened?”

“What happened? What happened was I tried to keep Everett Hewitt silent.”

“Silent? What kind of silence are you talking about?”

Come to think of it, when the two people were talking on the terrace a while ago . . .

Everett had promised to tell the Duke something.

At the time, however, she really hadn't been in the mood to care.

“Ugh.”

Noel groaned and brushed his hair.

“It's a story that can make the Princess a little uncomfortable.”

“. . . Me?”

“Yeah.”

“It's okay, tell me.”

Noel looked around for a moment, and, after confirming that no one was there, he answered in a low voice.

“A long time ago, when the Princess came to the Academy . . .”

“Yes.”

“I brought you clothes to change into.”

Rieta's eyes widened briefly.

Noel was silent for a moment.

He didn't even want to say it . . .

The fact that Rieta's clothes that day actually belonged to Everett Hewitt.

At the time, Noel had left Rieta in the seminar room and ran frantically to his dormitory.

Because he just came to his senses.

His roommate Everett Hewitt had recently started to enjoy wearing skirts.

“Everett Hewitt! Lend me your clothes!”

“What?! Are you crazy?! No way!”

“If I don't have it, I'll go crazy! Please! Just for one day.”

“Don't be silly. Do you think you will lose Princess Gabriella's attention?! You're loved just because you're a younger brother!”

“That's not what I mean! You think I'm you?!”

“Why are you borrowing clothes you won't wear? Explain properly.”

When he was threatened with the clothes, Noel said, 'Someone needs these clothes. Without it, it's dangerous.'

Of course, it was Noel who was in danger.

How strange it was to see Rieta dressed in a maid outfit and calling him Master.

He was afraid that she would appear in his dream. To be honest, she did appear later.

In any case, Everett did not inquire about this further.

“Alright. I will lend them to you.”

In addition, he gave clothes that had been freshly washed.

“. . . Thank you.”

“Instead, Noel.”

“Hmm?”

“Won't you grant me one request later?”

When Everett said so, Noel at the time did not even think about it and agreed confidently.

. . . He didn't know that it would be a request to accompany him for a big banquet like today.

If he had known, he would never have consented.

He would just succumb to Rieta in a maid outfit, even kneeling on the floor.

“. . . Those clothes made you his partner.”

Rieta nodded. Noel bowed his head and sighed. “Yes. That's it.”

“Then he didn't notice that I went to the academy, did he?”

“On the surface, it should be so, but seeing how he sometimes threatens me, he seems to have noticed something.”

Noel was frustrated. He went to the railing, next to her.

The cool breeze brushed against his cheek, refreshing him.

He started walking down the long railing that ran along the corridor.

On the other hand, it was quite a dizzying height, so it was dangerous, but for some reason, he didn't think it was scary.

It was because Rieta was by his side.

“Noel is in trouble because of me.”

Rieta hurried over to his side.

Her eyes were worried, worried that Noel might fall.

“It's not really the Princess's fault. Huff.”

He jumped neatly over the decorations that rose between the railings, letting out a strange whistle as he did so.

“It's dangerous.”

Rieta spoke while squinting her eyes, and Noel held out his hand.

“If you're that worried, hold on to me.”

“Noel, you're really annoying.”

Even so, Rieta eventually raised her arm and took his hand.

Come to think of it, this atmosphere now.

Somehow, it seemed similar to when Noel and Everett were on the terrace earlier.

Including the way she was grunting like Noel and holding his hand.

Did Noel's personality rub off on me?

She heard that friends resembled each other, but she didn't know how they came to resemble each other in such a bad way.

If possible, it would have been better if I resembled Noel's good side.
