Chapter 152
130 Out-of-Season Conviction Events (3)
“You told me to give you proof, whereas Jeffrey said you’d expose your sins to daylight or something. Probably gonna make up some proper evidence, dude.”
Mary Rose nodded at the words Bertram had spoken in the manner she had taken.
Melia Rose has never been harassed like he says, so there’s no way there’s any evidence.
What is possible is to make up the right witnesses, just as Edith’s surroundings agreed with Jeffrey’s words.
“Even his rumors are making my position worse. Now if I can run after him again, my social position will die.”
Even where Meliá Rose’s guilt could not be proven, if Jeffrey and Edith wanted to summon him like that, the reputation from around Meliá Rose would fall to the ground now more than ever.
That reputation is the most important thing in the court.
– Mary Rose Maxwell, a duke’s ordinance keen on men’s fishing, had spent her days searching for her favorite prince in an open salon using the names of Prince Ulysses and Lynette.
– But young and beautiful baroness Edith Appleton entered and left the salon, and your sons’ interest shifted from MerriaRose to Edith. Mary Rose, intensely jealous of Edith, repeatedly harasses her vulgarly in an attempt to fall in.
– But the time has come for evil to be judged. Jeffrey-centric princes stood up and pleaded guilty to Mary Rose to protect Edith.
“And the poor Duke’s Lady is banished from the court, and no one knows where she is…”
“Please stop wearing weird narratives. But well, that must be where Geoffrey muscles…”
Mary Rose sighed heavily in the scenario Bertram told in a playful voice.
What Geoffrey and the others told us about the harassment is exactly what the villain warrant lady in the story is going to do.
Maybe they were also doing a preview reading a novel by the Villain Warrant Lady.
“I can’t believe I banished Master Merriah Rose… I can’t allow that! I knew we’d go in the dark!!
Willem quietly opens his mouth to Pump and Julia dew her anger again, who has remained silent until now.
“No, you don’t have to. I’ll kill him from the front.”
“Hey, hey, I’m not saying anything noisy!
Meliá Rose hurriedly stationary the two heating up.
Regardless of Julia, who was openly “angry,” Willem, who had listened relatively calmly, seemed to be up for a long time too.
If I looked closely, I felt like I could see a burning fire behind him…
– Willem… you’re angry for me…
I’m carelessly happy with his attitude like that.
But I can’t even be touched right now.
Coughing up with Cohon, Melia Rose rushes back to the conversation.
“Okay? We’ll fight Geoffrey and Edith squarely and beat them to pieces by the time they’re done! To do that, we need to get more allies anyway. Don’t let the Jeffreys take you in…!
In places like the court, the majority will end up saying things.
Even the disgraceful rumors are reducing Merriam-Rose’s side.
At least we need to increase our allies to our advantage.
Saying so, Julia stood up momentously with her eyes shining.
“You just have to preach the beauty of Master Merriah Rose with a bang! Leave it to me! I’m going!!
That’s all I told you, Julia opened the door to the room and ran away with momentum.
To move too quickly, Merriah Rose could not even hear what the hell she preached instead of stopping.
… This is quite worrying. Wouldn’t that country girl run wild in weird directions?
“… I hope you’re okay”
“Well, that guy. But you’re okay because he’s got a lot of hope. Even he wants to help you. I need you to know that.”
“… I know exactly what you mean.”
To Bertram, who said so gently, Merriah Rose giggles.
“I don’t know, you… you’re like Julia’s mother”
“Huh!? At least be a father!
“That’s good. Either way. It’s okay, I know about Julia.”
Honest and straight enough to come with an idiot, but it’s a good thing about Julia.
Melia Rose, too, understands that properly.
“Then I’ll talk to a lot of places, too. Meliá Rose, don’t move too flashy.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“… don’t worry about that much. We’ll see what we can do…. Willem, Merriam Rose, please.”
“Oh, I got it.”
“And then… you may not mean it, but I’m going to ask them to help.”
“… ok”
I didn’t know what the conversation between the two meant. Melia Rose slipped her neck, but Bertram left the room intact when she confirmed that Willem had accepted.
“Hey, what’s that – hiccup!
In the middle of the word, he is held hard by Willem beside him, and the heartbeat of Merriah Rose makes a loud noise.
“How much?”
“… excuse me. I can’t be around you when you’re in trouble.”
That’s what they whisper in a push-kill voice, and Melia Rose takes a lot of breath.
What Willem is saying will be back then when Merriam Rose was disputed by Jeffrey and Edith.
Prince Ulysses had official business that day and had not attended the Tea Party. His Kingsguard, Willem, was equally absent.
“… what are you talking about? You must be Master Ulysses’ escort, right? What can I apologize for doing my job properly?”
“I always think I can’t protect you when you’re in trouble… and I feel sorry for myself”
Mary Rose was surprised by Willem, who looked depressed sometime.
Apparently, much more than Merriam Rose thinks, Willem cares about this one.
“… hey, Willem, listen”
Gently holding Willem’s hand, Merriah Rose whispers gently.
“Me, you keep going straight as a knight…… yeah, that’s why you…… like it, it is. And you always protected me when it mattered.”
Even when I was playing Villain Warrant Lady, and when Pascal cornered me, I was at this previous night’s club.
Willem was always right beside Meliá Rose at the heart of the matter.
How many times have I been inspired by his presence?
“Heroes are the ones who come late, Theory. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Saying so like a prank, Willem chuckled in his ear and hugged Meliá Rose all the time.
“Sounds like you.”
“Yes! I didn’t break through the pile of books the minister gave me to Dada!
Do you think Jeffrey and the others will turn you down?
Meliá Rose has knowledge and experience, and… she has friends she can count on.
It would be a lie if I told you I wouldn’t be anxious, but Merriah Rose was on fire.
Whatever it takes to beat Jeffrey and Edith, let me tell you something.
“I’ll show you what Villain Warrant Lady means.”
