After I placed Ricardo, I was told that Alefice came to the castle.

Because she seemed to pick me up, so I went to the prepared room.

In one guest room, Alefice had nothing to do while sitting on a bench.

Under her very tired waist, the cushion was pressed very low in a U shape.

“Alefice, are you coming to pick me up?”

“Yes. I walked a little, so I am a little tired.”

“You are coming specially, I am very sorry. Take a break then go back.”

All the things that should be conveyed were conveyed. Other than that, I couldn't do much now.

I decided to go back to Marquis's house with Alefice.

When we were resting, I didn't know why it was rushing outside, and I heard footsteps and quarrels.

“So, please get engaged as soon as possible…!”

“Hey! My father is very healthy, I am not in a hurry.”

“But if you have not made a marriage contract, the marriage of His Royal Highness Angela and His Royal Highness Emirya will be postponed.”

“They can get married first. Don't say everything is my fault."

“Holding a grand marriage without the Crown Prince is…”

I heard a familiar voice.

Marlow was talking with someone who was one of the ministers.

The marriage of the Crown Prince Marlow needed to be held cautiously, but he still had no fiancee.

However, it was very common for men in this world to marry for the first time in their thirties, so the time was still abundant.

However, the royal family was slightly different from this policy. Ministers and others were very anxious… Marlow had previously disclosed this.

His marriage contract issue seemed to have not been resolved.

Maybe they didn't notice that we were in the room, they continued to talk like that.

“We have listed some good candidates, so…”

“Minister, I said that you should mind your own business, wait a little longer.”

“Although I know the situation, I can't do that. Well, how about the Alefice at Marquis's family?”

Maybe because the topic suddenly became herself, Alefice seemed to be awkward to move her sight.

Despite this, she seemed to care about the conversation.

“You see, her family has no problem, she also has the body shape that Your Royal Highness like?”

Minister seemed to recommend Alefice.

However, Marlow calmly denied the minister's opinion.

“Only she is impossible. Absolutely…”

The luxurious room was in an awkward silence.

I played with the sofa cover and peered at Alefice, but she didn't seem to have any special changes.

After a while, there was no sound coming from outside.

Marlow and the minister seemed to have left.

Then, Alefice stood up.

“Sorry, Britney. I think there is something to do. I will be back soon. Can you wait for me a while?”

“Oh? Ah…”

Just as I couldn't speak, Alefice turned her direction and walked out of the room slowly.

I silently watched her.

Because Alefice's side face looked as she was upset.

(Is it true that Alefice likes Marlow…)

As a result, Marlow's uncompromising reaction and his current words would have hurt her deeply.

(Also, Alefice can't lose weight for various reasons…oh, no.)

In short, I decided to chase her and went out of the room.

There was no one in the spacious hallway, and the afternoon light came in through the window. Alefice should have not gone too far.

After walking down the stairs, I saw Alefice staggering out of the courtyard, and I hurriedly followed.

I couldn't ignore her expression.

The exit led to a small courtyard, but now there seemed to be no one but Alifice.

A small courtyard of one room size was used for daylighting. It was not decorated with gorgeous flowers, but a bench for rest was placed in the center.

Alefice, who sat down, looked up at the sky with a look that was about to cry.

I couldn't imagine her having such an expression, who was always smiling calmly.

 Although a little embarrassed, I opened the door and went to the courtyard.

Alefice, who noticed me coming, turned to look at me.

“Britney.”

“Sorry, Alefice. Because you looked a little sad… I care about you.”

“It seems to be worrying you. I am really sorry.”

“No.  I also chased without your permission…. Well, Is Alefice like about, … about Prince Marlow?”

Looking at me who was hesitant about the question, Alefice sighed slightly.

“Since I was seen in that scene, it would be useless to hide it. Yes, that's right. I admired Prince Marlow when I was a child. However, he didn't pay attention to it… Not only that,  I understand that I was escaped by him.”

Sure enough, Alefice was considerate for Marlow without regrets.

In that case, my existence must not be interesting.

The true identity of the mysterious fat woman who suddenly appeared in front of her admired person was a loser lady of a poor Earl.

The royal family concealed Marlow's proposal to marry me, but a close person would be aware of this from his usual attitude. Having said that, he should not openly say it to the public.

Certainly, even Alefice felt it vaguely.

She was a really great noble lady since she can treat me ordinarily under this condition.

“In the past, things were not like this…”

Alefice, who was head down, began to talk about the past. No matter who the other party was, she could talk to, she just wanted to be listened to, so I was sitting next to her.

“Prince Marlow  and I are childhood friends. We used to play together in the castle. I was closer to him than Princess Angela.”

Angela at that time should be in the dark ages. She would not act rashly for herself.

In that regard, Alefice responded very well.

“Because I am happy, he often gives me a snack. For that, I am always looking forward to it.”

Although only a little bit, my feeling of guilt was indeed getting stronger and stronger.

The location of the former Alefice, I took it without knowing it.

I also understand it.

Marlow wanted to distribute the snacks because of her influence at an early age.

“On that day, I was invited to his secret room.”

“Secret room?”

“His Royal Highness Marlow kept silent to both his parents and ministers. But…”

Having said that, the sound of Alefice suddenly became low.

“It's all my fault. I blame me for saying something inadvertently that deeply hurts Lord Marlow. He still carries the wound, and I was pulled away a little bit… We can't get back to the original condition like before. That's it.”

“Alefice…”

“I am not malicious, just to say what I think in my heart. “He's like a girl.” I am not targeting His Royal Highness Marlow.”

This was very similar to what Angela had said before.

What she (Angela) told me was that Alefice described Marlow's interest as feminine.

But now, Alefice didn't seem to say so about her description of Marlow's interest.

I decided to urge her to continue.

“…What were you saying actually?”

“I said this to his attitude. In the face of what he likes, he has to look around for the look around him. If you like it, you can just like it openly. It's too girly… that's what I mean. No matter what I say, it's wrong. I denied him.”

“I was still young and had a lack of vocabulary. When I was restless because I was thinking about what to do, the gap between him and me was getting deeper and deeper.”

Marlow had never been able to forget about it so far.

In a sense, Alefice's word “girly” was correct.
