TN: This is my favourite chapter so far. 😀
We decided to move next to the wall and chatted with each other.
[Even so Britney, you and Ricardo-sama are on good terms.]
While watching the squirrel masked Ricardo, Nora lowly whispered so to me. I nodded to her.
[Un. I exchange correspondences with Ricardo all the time and I often get help from him in regards of my territory.]
[So that's it! I will support your relationship.]
[E…? What are you saying suddenly?]
[I have always thought… that Britney and Ricardo-sama are compatible with each other.]
I fixedly stared at Nora's face.
It seems that she thought that Ricardo and I had good atmosphere between each other.
By the way, Nora didn't know anything about our past engagement, as it had not been publically announced.
At the same time when I opened my mouth to correct her, there was a sound as if a hard object was knocked nearby.
I then saw that Ricardo had hit his leg on a nearby chair.
[Are you alright, Ricardo?]
[A, aa, no problem. I just got a little careless.]
Ricardo whose ears had turned red seemed to act suspiciously, just like that time during the school party. Somehow, he seemed restless.
[But, that's such a loud sound.]
[Really, don't mind it. Like I said, I'm fine…!]
It seemed that Ricardo who was behaving suspiciously had now tripped on something.
[Ricardo, careful!]
I tried to support him, but since I was wearing high heels that I was not used to, I got caught up in his fall.
[Britney!]
Fortunately, there was a wall behind us that prevented us from falling grandly… at point blank range, there was the squirrel face of Ricardo. We're glued to each other; his posture was as if to cover me.
[Ri, Ricardo, ano…]
[So, so, so, so, so, so, sorry! Are you injured!?]
[E, ee, because there's a wall behind me. It's just a little heavy.]
Although we're wearing a mask, it's as if we're kissing each other. If people saw it, it's a state which would cause misunderstanding.
[Ki, kya! Ricardo-sama, so bold!]
Covering the eye holes of her bird mask, Nora exclaimed excitedly.
[You, you're wrong… this is an accident!]
Ricardo whose ears had reddened even further tried to explain.
Looking at him, I felt embarrassed somehow. My face felt very hot.
(Why on earth am I getting excited over a 14 year old boy?)
Perhaps it's because I'm in Britney's body, my mentality seemed to have adjusted to Britney's age.
Since I came to the capital city, I had more opportunities to interact with him, so it might have been too much because of that.
(I thought Ricardo was a child…)
Ricardo, who finally separated his body, caused me to fall on the wall.
There was a new person who was speaking to us.
A boy with slender silhouette and wearing a rabbit mask.
(He appeared-! Lucas-!)
There were few people with silver hair in this country. Silver hair was characteristic of the northern country.
I fixed my white pig mask that was displaced slightly.
[The two of you, you're Ricardo and Miss Britney right?]
Ricardo confirmed so and approached Lucas.
He also seemed to be aware of Lucas' identity.
[Lucas, it's good to see you. I thought that I won't be able to find you because of these masks.]
[Ee, I'm glad to be able to find you. Miss Britney, it's an honor to meet you again.]
[It is I who should say that… gufufu.]
[Your mask is very pretty, but for me, the person underneath the mask is even prettier.]
[Ara, maa, such flattery.]
Under this situation, it's impossible to avoid Lucas.
(It's okay… as long as I'm not one of Angela's followers, I won't be executed. It should be okay if we're interacting normally.)
Unless the main character Merrill got harmed by her surroundings, I won't receive any damage.
In the manga, Angela assaulted Merrill, and the way her wrongdoings were painted as shocked the country.
So, maybe it's because of Lucas and co. that influenced it, otherwise the actions of a single young lady wouldn't be much of a rumour.
[Your Highness' mask is also pretty.]
[Do you know? Rabbits may seem very vigilant and docile, but in truth, they're very self-assertive and affectionate animals.]
[You are very knowledgeable, but, aren't you a little too close?]
Lucas was closing in on me and I was sandwiched between the wall and him.
[Don't say that. With all my heart, I want to get close to you… you can just call me Lucas. I'm happy to be friends with you from now on.]
[…Ee, I'm honored to hear your words.]
While I was flustered, he came one step closer to me.
The prince of the northern country had strangely threatening sex appeal.
(What's with this prince! Is he really the same age as Ricardo!? He seems to have more experience in this compared to me in my past life.)
It's inevitable that I compared him to my past self who never had a boyfriend, but I felt that I lost a lot.
[Lucas, you're too close. Britney is troubled.]
It was Ricardo who gave me help when I was driven to the wall.
[Aa, I'm sorry. Miss Britney is such a secluded young lady.]
Lucas had a mysterious smile, but when he approached Nora this time, he introduced himself courteously.
Nora also greeted him timidly.
Although she was wearing her mask, based on her gestures, I found that she's very conscious of Lucas.
