Marielle Clarac’s Engagement Chapter 1 Part2

part2

First thing first I naturally cancelled my forethoughts, after that I took out my notebook from my make-up purse. At the a.s.sembly hall I never separated from my tiny purse, at occasions like this I have to hide my writing utensil. I diligently run the pen over the notebook, and wrote the conversations that I just heard before forgetting.

These are stories of Royal court romance, political discussions and severed and not severed connections. Serious episode are included, and the stories became more deep. This kind of elements are difficult to write based on imagination only. By referring to these event, like this they became an even more interesting stories.

Ah, what happiness. To be blessed with such a standpoint. I am utterly thankful towards father. Let's be filial to express my grat.i.tude. The conversation from before, seem to be an useful information to deliver to father.

Running crazily the pen, and writing down everything took quite the time. I put the notebook inside my purse, and then I finally saw the mirror in front of me.

On the surface of the mirror encircled with fancy decorations, a young girl with mediocre feature was reflected.

With light brown hair and light brown eyes. She looked younger than her actual age, but that's the result of her low-key hairstyle. In the middle of her face rested a pair of big gla.s.ses. At most if the gla.s.ses were to be taken off, although you wouldn't say that she is somewhat cute.

Truly, it's not unreasonable for everyone to strike me with malicious gossip. For such an unskillful girl to stand besides Simon-sama is a heresy, it's ridiculously unbalanced. Sir Hughbelt and His Highness Sevran were just being polite to me, they were just unashamed in letting it bluntly slip out.

I wonder just what is Simon-sama thinking. No matter how much appealed He felt towards father negotiation, if I am to become the main wife the other party is certainly bound to feel disappointed right. Or, I wonder if He unexpectedly didn't antic.i.p.ate anything. Or as I thought he have some important conditions, I wonder if he seek a wife that properly defend the household with fidelity.

If it's Simon-sama, then all that come to mind is that, you can love him as much as you wants . Maybe he thought that marriage is for the sake of the household, and personal feeling is to find with another companion.

If I seriously consider it I think it's a bit lonely, though it can't be helped. It's a common story in n.o.ble society, ending a partner before being too late for marriage, is perfectly handling this at letter. Fulfill the part required, then you can pursue your own enjoyment. Thereafter I can live my life with happiness. There is no particular problem.

I quickly finished adjusting my make-up, and got up. When I put my hand on the door k.n.o.b to go out, I tilted my head.

Ara? It does not open. The door’s lock is designed to be closed from the inside, but it's not looked. I can make just a little opening, seem like a cord is tied on the k.n.o.b from the outside, at least I seem to have found out where it was tied.

Oh well, they tried their best on this trick. I was too absorbed in writing on my memo, and didn't notice when I was done in. The culprit is likely to be some young Miss anyway. This kind of experience, is not a first to me.

People that speak behind one's back are good. And people that use force to hara.s.s are many! That's right, confinement is still something very light very light. When in an occasion my favorite dress was stained I got really annoyed though, but with just this much it doesn't hurt me or make me itchy.

I shrugged my shoulders, and went towards the window. I wonder how should I start. The door is blocked, and a big window is present in this room. Moreover this is the first floor. There's no inconvenience to enter and to leave at all.

I opened the window to inspect the outside, the dark garden that spread all the way was dead silent. I comprehended that this is not a popular place.

I wonder if no one is really here. When I decided to exit from the window I pointed with a finger the place where I planned to descend. I had the intention to laugh at how improper it was getting, or so I was thinking…..but in this situation, for the sake of observing I lurk around a lot, and it's kind if improper right.

Or else for an ojousama, to raise the hem of her dress and climb over the window is something you can't imagine I wonder. If I can't get out from the door, I have no other choices left.

I grabbed the hem of my dress that was in the way, heave-ho my foot stepped on the window frame. I was careful to not hook or step out, and landed in the night of the garden.

I quickly the hem of my dress and checked the surroundings. As expected there are no people here. U-hn? If I stay hidden in this place as I am now, I wonder if later they plan on spreading bad rumors. But should I say it? That I was trapped inside and I had no choice but to return by leaving from the window.

It's okay if they just ridicule me a little. From the start it's not like I was being admired. If I was so delicate as to being hurt by just this much then, I wouldn't have accepted the engagement with Simon-sama.

To return to the saloon, I walked in the garden. I wonder where should I go to return inside. To search for the entrance I walked along the wall of the building.

As expected the castle is wide. I am getting further and further away from the hall I think, I can't find the entrance at all. Should I have gone to the other side I wonder. Still I walked so far with great pain to arrive here, if I were to turn right at this moment I'll lose my way.

I think that sooner or later I'll come across a security knight. And then I'll be appointed as a suspicious person right. Then if I tell them of my circ.u.mstances they would tell me where the entrance is…..or so I hope, but before this happens I would like to find it on my own.

Suddenly, as I felt the presence of a person I stopped walking. From the inner part of the garden where thick plants spread, I could hear the sound of a hoa.r.s.e voice. If someone is there then, there's the possibility of being close to the entrance. Shall I go to get instruction ? Still just what are they doing, in such a dark and unpopular place. I believe that I won't encounter a very awkward scene by carelessly stepping in.

I hid myself under the thick plantations, and I had the feeling of people approaching by the sound of their footsteps. I won't act like I didn't notice them and leave. If someone is having a secret encounter, then I want to thoroughly confirm it. It's different from spreading rumors. It's just for the sake of getting a piece of information. To obtain it I won't let this opportunity escape. What kind of conversation, and to what extent it will be useful it's not clear.

The sound of a pressing voice came closer. Both voices are that of man. Eh, a date is a date but, are they inclined in that way? I am not opposed to it when it is a lovely book ill.u.s.tration but, seeing it in real life it's a bit too strong.

While I was wincing I didn't run away. I was interested because from one of the person I could somehow feel a seething anger.

"It's different from what you told me!"

Look like they are in a dispute. This is a tangle of pa.s.sion. The talk of separation is getting complicated. Moreover the agitated voices, are more than two. Eeh? Is this a triangular infatuation?

If in this dokidoki situation, I were to suddenly rise with a "Gyaa” shriek. Jumping out from under my undercover position to surprise them. Wha, what? A bloodshed situation is developing?

"Hurry up! Security guard are coming!"

" d.a.m.n, just wait a bit!"

"Stop i….t, hyii!"

Wha, what should I do. Now near me, a murder is going to be carried out. As expected, what I was looking on was something against one's moral. But I don't have the power to jump in and help him. If I am imprudent I'll be involved and killed together with him.

So I quickly evacuated the place, and when I approached the building, on the spot I picked up a stone moderately big. With a good amount of power I threw it on a nearby window.

A loud * Gashan * sound raised, and the window gla.s.s broken. One more extra. Again and again * Gashan * . The security guards that heard the sudden sound came in a rush.

"What was that!"

"What are you doing there!"

I decided to cling onto the first knight that showed up.

"Wa~a~an, it was so scary…..y! Somehow I don't know but, suddenly people rushed out from the dark. And they escaped toward that way!"

While appealing to them, I pointed in the direction of the thick plantation from before. The people that were disputing here, they'll be breathlessly running away right. I want to believe that they have given up upon murdering. Somehow or other I hope to have made it in time.

The knight went to inspect those thick plants. I was being protected and also observed, as I waited near the building. And then, like that my name was called out.

"Marielle!"

Simon-sama came running over there. Well, what a quick arrival at the scene. As expected from the vice-captain.

"Simon-sama!"

My savior has just appeared, I jumped at him. Now they wont suspect me for being the culprit anymore. I need them to recognize me as an unrelated pa.s.serby.

"What on earth, were you doing in such a place. Because you hadn't returned for quite some time I've been searching for you."

Oh my, did I troubled you. My deepest apologies.

"I'm sorry, I was trapped inside the restroom, in a way or another I was able to leave from the window. But while searching for the entrance I got lost, and ended up coming across strange noises"

"Uhm, I confirmed that you were trapped. The door of the restroom was sealed from the outside"

Oh my, you even know of that.

"And the noises was"

"I am not really clear……there was a sudden sound, and someone jumped out from the darkness and then the window was broken. And so I run away because of the fright it gave me"

It was something abrupt, so I don't understand what happened. I insisted, that I don't know of the circ.u.mstances, and emphasised that I am just a pa.s.serby. Overall it's not a lie. I really know nothing, about what just occurred in the end.

　One of the knight that was investigating noticed Simon-sama, and came to report to him. The people weren't found, and a brand new bloodstain was discovered it seem. So this mean, that the a.s.sailants escaped. I'm glad I'm glad, I prevented a murder. Secondly my innocence was proven. If nothing is found, it will be decided that I was making noise all by myself. At least for the broken window I'll be severely blamed.

Afterwards I was questioned again, and asked about what occurred, anyhow it happen too abruptly so I persisted that I didn't know a thing about it. Now here, I couldn’t judge to what extent would be fine to talk. I am just an unlucky miss that got involved and so, I returned to the saloon without being held back for too long. A friend of mine that got worried arrived, and Simon-sama confirmed that I wouldn’t remain alone, went to report to His Highness Prince Otto. In the end the investigation continued as they were, without me having to be concerned about it, and so I left the hall with my friend, and went home by myself.

To my father and older brother, I explained the next day. I told them as much as I knew, after that they treated me splendidly. In the end all this was,the collaboration on concealment of corruption of government officials , they had an internal dispute and the result was that they wanted to seal his mouth forever, it was this kind of a story.

Unfortunately it wasn't a triangular infatuation.
