Chapter 24
24
It smells delicious.
Sweet fragrance…….
I wonder if it’s from that stall over there.
Moving his gaze, he now saw the view of the city in his eyes.
A little girl is holding onto the money and pointing a round of gabella at the florist’s clerk.
On the other side, young men and women look at open-air accessories with shoulders to shoulders.
Further back there is a sight of a baguette tip from a paper bag held by an elderly woman who came out of a bakery.
After all, while I was in the position of fiancée of Prince Wang, the aristocratic society was everything and I had no idea how the people lived. What kind of life do people in this country live, what they have trouble with and what they want to happen?
As a matter of course, a variety of people are here with all sorts of thoughts.
Just stand here and you can feel the lives of the people of this city with your skin.
I found that very comfortable.
And His Highness’ feet stopped in front of a shop slowly walking to me.
“Here.”
The shop his Highness guided me to was really right from where I got off the carriage.
I was very helpful because I was still anxious to walk for a long time.
There is an orange roof made of brick and a small blackboard in front of the store that says “Recommended for the Day”.
When His Highness opened the store door with momentum, he heard a bright and energetic voice from the back of the store saying, “Welcome”.
The store, which had about five counter seats and ten table seats, was overflowing with customers and almost full.
“That’s not Luke! Now that we’re free here, go ahead.”
“Thank you, General”
The woman who was wiping the table with a cloth towel looked at His Highness and spoke with a smile.
His Royal Highness pointed me at the empty seat, and I too head to that table, sitting across from the chair where His Highness sat down.
“It’s unusual! I don’t have a girl with me today!
Oh, my God, is that her?
“Don’t be too shy. I just finally got a date today.”
“Ha ha, then I will disperse adultly. Call me when you have an order.”
The bright woman turned to you as soon as the other guests called her.
“Pretty popular, isn’t it?
“Yeah, I’m surprised”
“Whatever we eat here is delicious. Do you want something to eat?
Instead of the usual elegant way of sitting, His Highness opens his legs and has a great diagonal posture. For this reason, it doesn’t make you feel the usual nobility.
And he gave it to me when he retrieved the menu table he had placed by the table.
If you look at that menu table in parallax, you’ll find dishes that look delicious, such as Grilled Chicken Vanilla, Braised Beef Wine, and Gratin Potatoes.
But I get in trouble when I have to make my own choices.
How many times I let the letters on the menu wander up and down, the highness lifted the menu table I had.
“I’ll choose if you want. Recommended delicious ones”
“Oh, please. Le… Luke.”
“Ha, fine. Admiral! Order Request”
Really? Your Highness uses Me consciously when you’re impatient. And he’s changing his tone, too.
Looking around with Kyoro Kyoro doesn’t look very uncomfortable to His Highness right now.
On the contrary, I still feel floating.
It wouldn’t be my fault to feel the glimpse from earlier.
Hmm. I wonder where His Highness hid that elegance.
I’d love to know your tricks for patience.
Looking at Her Royal Highness, who is placing an order with the general, she’s going through quite a bit here.
I place my order without looking at the menu.
You stared too much, and after the general took the order and left, His Highness said, “What’s up?,” he tilted his neck.
“No, I seem quite used to it…”
“Well, I’ve been here for three years now.”
“Three years!
“Ha, because I’ve always been a long way from anything I like”
His Highness put his elbow on the table and put his jaw on it, grinning and staring at me with a meaningful expression.
Ugh, His Highness laughed ridiculously at me again stuck in words.
“You did it again!
“That’s not true. That’s true now.”
To His Highness, who still can’t stop laughing with Couscous, I give a deliberately musty look with a wrinkle between my eyebrows.
Then His Highness gave a hazy look and said, “True! It’s true,” he panicked.
Now I see His Highness like that, and he laughs like hell.
“Oh, that sounds friendly.”
Suddenly she heard a voice, and when she raised her gaze, the general held the dish of cooking in her hand and smiled nicely.
“Yes, please, this one’s quiche. And then there’s a sandwich of soup and homemade bread”
“Oops, looks delicious as ever!
“I hope it fits your daughter’s tongue, too.”
“It looks so delicious! I’ll have it.”
In front of you is a sandwich with fresh vegetables and ham sandwiched in a fragrant, aromatic bread of baking.
And a warm soup full of vegetables in a quiche with bacon and onions and mushrooms in a large plate that you don’t usually leave at home.
While I was fascinated by the dishes, Your Highness took the dishes apart and put them in front of me.
“Thank you”
“Come on, let’s eat before it gets cold”
Insert the fork into the quiche pie fabric first. Then I hear a crisp good sound in my ear. Place a bite on the fork and carry it to your mouth.
“Yummy!”
“Right?
Just put it in your mouth and the mellow taste of white sauce spreads through your mouth.
Besides, it has a warm, relieved flavour.
I wonder if this is what Sarah said about the taste of home.
Next thing I know, I go to a sandwich, but I’ve never eaten a dish that pinches vegetables in a bread.
How am I supposed to eat it?
When I looked at His Highness in front of me, I almost wore that sandwich with one hand.
What, just like that?
His Royal Highness gives me a voice that convinces me to look round my eyes and stare at His Highness, “Ah”.
“You can eat as you go. Gabe.”
Gabe?
What, is this really going to stay that way? It’s quite thick, but I wonder if it’s really good.
I hold a sandwich with both hands and temporarily solidify it in a way I have never eaten before.
All right, let’s eat!
When I never open my mouth and wear it like His Highness, I smell crisp, fresh vegetables caught in bread, and smoked from the ham.
“… delicious”
The unintentionally murmured words seemed firmly heard by His Royal Highness.
When I looked at my face, I narrowed my eyes gladly.
“I’m more than happy to have you, too.”
I can see my face trembling unexpectedly on that look. I was ashamed to show such a face, I looked down and opened my mouth again and cheeked up my sandwich.
After that, we’ll talk to His Highness about the city. I asked a lot of questions that I wondered what stalls I saw by the time I came, what was on the road ahead, etc. His Royal Highness taught me politely, one by one and sometimes with jokes, without appearing to dislike it.
And in no time, there was nothing to eat.
“Come on, it’s time to go home”
“… Yes”
“Accounting favor,” the general said, “Yes,” when Her Royal Highness also made a noisy voice going through the store.
His Highness is handy and takes a small bag of money out of his pocket to ease the payment.
Luke, say hello to the blacksmith’s father.
I’ll tell him.
“She and I are gonna do great things.”
His Royal Highness was appropriately gaveling at the words from the general as he received his change.
“Come and eat with me again, my lady”
“Yes! It was delicious. Good treat.”
“Ha, thanks. I’ll tell my husband I’m cooking over there.”
The general laughed luxuriously at my words and sent me out loud, “Thank you -“.
The escort knight waiting at the end of the store rendezvous subtly and walked a little to get to where he got off the carriage when he came.
Just like earlier, His Highness offered me a hand to get into the carriage.
When I sit in the carriage seat, I exhale unwittingly.
His Highness looks worried when he sits across from me.
“Tired?
“Thank you for your concern. I’m fine.”
His Highness loosened his expression as relieved by my words.
“Rachel, thank you for hanging out with me today. For me, I’ve never had a meal that I thought was so fun and delicious.”
“Thank you for coming.”
“You’re already gone.”
Yes, if I break up with His Highness today, I won’t be able to see him again for a while.
His Royal Highness has a school, and as Prince Wang, he has little chance of leaving Wang Capital.
This way, I won’t be able to speak to or see His Highness in front of me.
Even though it’s my own decision, I get the feeling of being sexually lonely.
But I realized today.
I don’t know if I will continue or dissolve my engagement in the future, but I think I should look more out into the outside world.
This familiar place is cozy and easy, but you can’t do it.
“Your Highness…”
“I’m sorry about the engagement. I can’t get rid of it.”
What an answer, he said he was lost in words.
His Highness shrugged weakly. The expression covers his face with his hands and he cannot see the expression.
“Instead, I will wholeheartedly support you in your journey to your territory.
I’m sure the next time I see him, he’ll be different. ”
“I’ll do my best to be”
“Ah. I regret it won’t come true to see that. I’ll have to do what I can myself.”
His Royal Highness had his face covered. Removing his hand, he looked somewhere clear.
I stared to burn that look on my face.
The carriage stops.
Looks like he’s back at the Marquis Mansion.
Get off the carriage with His Royal Highness’s hand so as to shake off the feeling of remorse.
“Thank you very much, Your Highness, for today.
I know it’s been a busy day, but take a good night’s rest. ”
“Oh, you too. Don’t overdo it.”
“Yes, then… now.”
Then, let go of the hand that was connected and take a step to enter the mansion.
That…
Released hands are suddenly caught giggling and look back in surprise.
Then His Highness also gazes at the hands connected as if surprised by his actions.
“Um, Your Highness?
“Ah, ah. No, the”
His Royal Highness let go of his connected hand as he panicked.
I feel lonely as if my hands that have lost their warmth have lost a little place to go.
“Rachel, let’s be honest. I miss you so much. [M] I even want to keep them on my side without letting them go all the time.
But I also know it’s just annoying to you. ”
“What is annoyance, etc!
“No, I noticed recently.
As you think so, I also experience a lot of things that I’m missing.
So the next time I see you… I’ll try to be the man you think you don’t want to be away from me. ”
I stare at the clumsy grin that seemed as if His Highness had forced me to smile. For some reason, bitter thoughts come from that face, and my eyes get hot.
“That’s why I want you to work hard for you.”
“Yes.”
“Still, if you have any problems…… I’m glad you can count on me.”
“Yes.”
I could not distract His Highness from those straight eyes.
Then His Highness let go of my hand and smiled softly.
“Write a letter”
“Yeah, me too. Write to me what you see and feel.”
“… Oh, I’m waiting. Now go home and rest.”
I thank His Royal Highness for one thing and walk straight as I take my foot back one step and turn my body toward the front door.
Now, there was nothing I could do to stop it.
When we get to the front door, the servant opens the door and waits.
I try to advance my legs and look back.
Then there was still the appearance of His Highness smiling this one with a gentle expression.
His Royal Highness thanked him for one thing as he raised his hand lightly and turned his heel back and went into the house.
