Part 3
I didn't see their appearance but, I could guess who was who by their voices. The person that was a.s.sailed, was my older brother's coworker. He was once introduced to me as a possible fiancé candidate. There I refused so the engagement hadn't progressed. But I firmly kept his voice and face in my memory.
The a.s.sailants were probably……although I kind of guessed it, but I am still not really sure, so I entrusted the judgement to father. Without evidences and with just an uncertain conjecture I can't just thoughtlessly go investigate. However my guess wasn't incorrect. And as I thought, that person corruption come to light and was charged for his crimes.
For the entire Royal court it might have been just a minor incident. But for me, was a very stimulating experience.
"As I thought the castle is a material treasure house right! With murky human relations.h.i.+p and politic conspiracy! In the surface brilliant, and on the other side incidents are a daily life, such a magnificent stage! Ah, it's not funny! It's the best!"
My friend come at me as a get-well visit, and for a while she was that excited.
"If it's Marielle then with something like this you would been fine. But you could've been involved if you handled it poorly."
" That's right, for a short moment we had a thrilling development I think? I didn't want to get hurt; so that was good I think"
"Of course. It's different from the malicious stories of those ojousama."
The shocked face of Julienne while she was lecturing me, to be honest was really interesting. I wanted to hear all the talks, prior my confinement in details.
"That was probably done by Aurelisama. After you left the saloon she followed after you. But since it's you I thought that you would've been okey."
"Yes, there was no problem at all. I wonder what she wanted in the end? The door was sealed but the window normally opened"
"Well, that's because there isn't the concept of climbing a window to get out. And they absolutely wouldn't imitate such a thing"
"I'm sorry okay, for being a shameful and tomboyish girl. I think it can't be helped that I was frustrated since I was confined. If there is a place you can leave from, then just go"
"Aurelisama, by no means thought the other party to be this bold right"
Julienne smiled and then shrugged her shoulders. No matter how much sarcasm or hara.s.sment is done, I wouldn't be bothered at all, that's why she wasn't worried.
"I feel grateful to Aurelisama instead. This kind if hara.s.sment was expected, but if I were to just write those simple developments as per usual it would've been boring. Writing based on actual experience, makes you truly be draw near the content doesn't it. Because I was able to collect some data, I would like to give my thanks. Of course to Simon-sama too!"
I smiled. Since my engagement with Simon-sama I've been attacked by every means by those ojousama, to be honest I was happy at each round, but if a person were to know about this I wonder if he would think of me as a pervert? Other partners won't do. This was possible because I am Simon-sama's fiancé. Whichever is it I am thankful.
"Do you plan on using this time matters as material ?"
Asked Julienne while turning over a page of a book in her hand. That was the new book just received from the publisher.
"Of course. But that incident alone is not a big deal, so I'll make it into a big affair. Oh well, how about a kidnapped young miss as it is ? With the hero that will go save her. Romance would be promised."
"If you are not the heroine, that'll be good. A normal young miss wouldn't leave from the window even if trapped. What do you plan to do about this part?"
"Uh-m…..then, cause a fire? If she remain there she'll be burnt to death, like this no matter how much of a graceful miss, she'll have to climb over the window right"
While talking I was working over the plot of my new work.I got tired of love talk only.Next let's make the continue an exciting dokidoki incident.And inside that a bursting love! I won’t render useless the informations I got with great pain.Of course I can't write the fact as they are, I intend to arrange the included part in a way that the original story won't be found out.
" By the way, does Simon-sama know about it? About your work, we already talked?"
Asked Julienne, and I shook my head in denial.
" No, not yet. I am still thinking of what I should do but, we're not yet on the stage to say this"
"That's right. You're such a famous novel author, let’s call it common recognition that it's not something a young miss from a good family should do."
That's my secret occupation. That I'm a novelist. I'm widely popular among upper cla.s.s and middle cla.s.s women, writing love stories is my job.
To be able to profit from my hobby everyday makes me feel fulfilled. Even a plain woman that can't afford it in reality, in the world of a story can adventure through a dazzling love. Rather, stories are way lovelier and fun than reality. Still I think it should remain as an unlikely development. I can live on with just moe. And so I don't mind at all arranged marriage for the sake of my household. But if the partner is truly terrible then, I don't really wish for it.
Or so I thought, but far from being terrible the other party is that Simon-sama! In every story, among all the characters, my most favorite delicacy is a gentle looking black belly officer type! Aah, I can be satisfied with moe in real life too! Far from not wis.h.i.+ng for it, I am way too blessed!
It's an unprecedented luck that won't come a second time. In order to not miss this opportunity, with the best of my ability I'll keep my writing activity a secret.
So all things considered, political marriage is probably more convenient instead. If the other party isn't concerned about me then, hiding things became easy. Dannsama (TN: master or husband) that will go to work won't ever know of me, sneakily writing inside the house. If I ask for the collaboration of ky house and publisher, my secret will be kept. I'm going to show you I can do it.
Leaving the wish for her ideal type of man to appear in my next work, Julienne returned home. My readers likes standard and normal things that's why, I don't write in a straightforward way, but I can at least insinuate it right. To make Julienne overjoyed let's write a lot about beautiful young man relations.h.i.+ps. Leave it to me! The models for this are just around the corner!
I'll be exposed if I leave them as black and blond haired, shall I make the oresama type blond haired instead? And then the other party a gentle person with chestnut color hair. Uhn, with a calm atmosphere but is a devil on the inside! Ufufun, it's fun by just thinking about it! I want to write as soon as possible!
I was writing down on paper while going moe moe, when the butler came to tell me that a visitor has come. Although we didn't arrange anything, look like Simon-sama has come. After confirming my appearance once, I hurried to the drawing room.
"I'm truly sorry, for my sudden intrusion"
Simon-sama is beautiful today too. What's more, the imperial guard white uniform really suits him.
"No, are we continuing the talk of the other day?"
I unreservedly asked, while encouraging him to sit on the sofa. From the fact he came with his uniform still on him, and didn't arrange for a visit beforehand, this is the only answer I can reach.
"Yes, I might say"
Simon-sama sat down with a wry smile. Seated opposite me, I spoke while drinking the tea brought by a maid.
"At that time, you said that it was something too abrupt and didn't understand what happened, nor you knew of who was there but……"
"Yes, my deepest apologies. If at that time I noticed earlier, things would've been settled faster. But in that occasion I just got confused. When I returned home and calmed down, I finally realized it "
I read through his earlier words, and meekly apologized. If I happen to know something about those people disputing in the dark and was hiding it, settling the incident would would became difficult. That's why father, clearly stated that it was an information that came from me. Then naturally, why I didn't report an important evidence won't be pursued. I was prepared for this development.
The excuse I prepared are the following. It happened too suddenly isn't it? It's a story that happened in the dark of an evening isn't it? Because until then I was being spoken ill off and was locked inside, I was mentally traumatized when I arrived at the place of the incident right? It's only natural for a frightened young miss to not be able to normally give a testimony right?
I don't need to show an att.i.tude such as being sorry for hiding it. I just need to apologize for the trouble due to me not remembering at that place.
Not being able to pursue any further after my lines, Simon-sama closed his mouth once. At first glance he looked to be elegantly sipping his tea but behind this att.i.tude, he was surely thinking about various things.
"I heard from them after the incident, that they knew nothing about the breaking of the window. Do you happen to know, who did it?"
"……now. I thought, that it was surely done by those men……if not them, then who in the world I wonder? Besides me did anyone come to that place?"
Although I somehow feel like he will see through it but I feigned innocence with a confused expression.Now if at the beginning I honestly told everything it would've been a pleasant conversation however, I have no choice left since I deceived them by lyng once. It wasn't me that broke the window.
Because at that time I didn't know to what extent was agreeable to speak! If these knights didn't found any traces, then it will end with me alone making noises and pointlessly breaking the window. Making noise is one thing but still property damage is no good. I don't want to be blamed for such a thing, since I don't know if I will be overlooked.
Because they found those bloodstain they believed that my story wasn't a lie, the good thing was that they arrested those offenders afterwards, one wrong step and I could've been an unexpected problematic child to shovel in place. By no means, if I confessed from the very beginning we wouldn't been talking now.
If it were Julienne and my family even if the evidence wasn't found they would surely believe in what I say but, I can't expect the same from Simon-sama. I don't trust him to that extent. And honestly speaking I believe that he doesn't trust me that much too?
"I am not clear about this. It's currently under investigation"
"I'm sorry for not being of help"
Feeling ashamed of myself for not being helpful at all, I made myself small. Even though I want to show my good point to my fiancé and be of help, I'm sorry for being a useless child. What should I do if he give up on me.
—–as if.
Normally there would be such a scene, my behavior shouldn't be unnatural I think. Simon-sama has been silent for quite some time, I wonder if he is convinced or did he gave up on me? I can't get into it any further as he's just breathing lightly.
"Well, I think that you won't be in danger anymore, but be careful for a while. If you plan on going to evening parties and the like, make sure to let me know please. If there are other things, and if any problem were to appear too."
To Simon-sama that was talking about something different, I tilted my head a little. Other problems?
"Somehow, I know that leaving you alone at that place wasn't good. Things like backbiting happen frequently,and you looked like you were doing fine so I thought it was all right, but I shouldn't have neglected those malicious behavior so far."
Ah, about the hara.s.sment from those young misses? In other words, he already confirmed that I was locked inside the restroom?
"You did mention that the door was sealed right? Did someone let you know about this Simin-sama?"
"No. I was looking for you and went toward the restroom, and then the discovery"
Oh well. You did that much? Then thank you very much.
"……ano, does Simon-sama feel disdain towards me? Something like leaving from the window, such an improper behavior I……"
For the time being let's ask the thing that a young miss would be generally concerned about. I think that at this point the engagement won't be annulled, but normally you should be worried right?
"It was an emergency so you had no choice. If you were to do it habitually, then it would be a problem"
"That sort of thing, never! It was that that only!"
Uhn, I haven't been doing it recently. Until thirteen, but from when I was four years old my wet nurse has been nicely scolding me.
"Uhm, I think so. You're a very quiet person, I know this"
Saying that, Simon-sama gently smiled. Despite the fact that he's comforting me, I can feel that I am being silently questioned, do I perhaps look like I am guilty I wonder? Surely it's just my imagination right. Like I know sufficiently about Simon-sama as a person. He must think that I am a plain and quiet woman like my look suggest.
Although it was an unavoidable action, but I should feel ashamed as a n.o.ble's daughter for conducting myself in an improper way. This kind of att.i.tude should be sufficient right.
Since he come in the middle if work, Simon-sama didn't stay for any longer. While apologizing for the busy schedule he got up, and when he was about to go back he suddenly recalled something.
"That's right, do you perhaps know of Agnes • Vivier ?"
My heart skipped a beat, at the name that suddenly come out.
If I know of it? Yes I do. I'm the person that is more knowledgeable than anyone else in this world about it.
"Yes……it is the writer Vivier is it? I know her but…."
"Do you read his works ?"
"…..Yes. Ano, Simon-sama, don't like it?"
Grandfathers with stubborn heads, and many other people would get angry in knowing that you read this kind of vulgar novel. I wonder if Simon-sama has this kind if value too?
"No. I read a few of his work, they were quite interesting"
"Read? Simon-sama did?"
I was surprised at his words. I never thought that a man would read it and also say that he found it interesting. I completely write with women as targets. I didn’t even thought that the male faction would read it, nor did I thought that they would find it an interesting read.
"Through my cousin. If I got engaged, I was told to learn of a woman's heart with this"
"Ah…..it was something like this"
I see, I understand. But you still read them.
"We man think that women are more stubborn, but it's well known that they are also purer. Human patterns were well depicted, there were many other things of notice besides love. That Author is really skillful at writing about people. He must have properly observed people every day"
"…….I think so"
Oh my~? What's this, I feel like there's also a silent pressure in his smile, is it my imagination I wonder?
"When I read, I occasionally feel an unusual deep vision of things. The foundation of those stories is apparently from real people and incidents. It seem like Vivier is particularly inspired by royal court people"
"Well, is that rumor true then? That Vivier is a n.o.blewoman……"
I don't know anything~ . But it's true that there are those rumors, of course I know~. Because I am just a fan~
"It may be. Perhaps, the incident that occured at the evening party will be written soon."
"Indeed"
Ufufu, it's a joke right. Yes I understand, I should put on a slight smile~
I have no knowledge of this. I am just one of the readers. I am looking forward to Vivier Sensei's next work too.
I returned to the smiling Simon-sama, and until the end waited to send him off. I should never show my agitation. I haven't thought about the possibility of admitting his probing. Because I am only an unrelated reader!
After returning to my room, I felt a little limp. Simon-sama didn't show even a breach, it was a really tiring battle.
Did Simon-sama…..perhaps, noticed it? How? To at extent was I exposed?
Even though he shouldn't had the opportunity to know about my secret job.
Am I thinking too much. I wonder if he felt that I have a guilty conscience and so he's suspecting me.
I have to tearfully part from the unfinished plot I wrote. I can't write it as it is at all. If Simon-sama were to read it then I would surely end up being exposed. That particular incident aside, who is who in Julienne's beautiful men couple service, would absolutely be recognized!
Ahn……I have to say goodbye to the moe.
With a little more work maybe, I should write in a way that the original thing won't be grasped right? No rather than this, I wonder if the words Simon-sama directed towards me where thought in advance to probe me.
Was my writer activity implicitly criticized….if interpreting it like this, isn't it too on the mark? But that possibility still exist, so I can't exclude it.
I might as well try to know about Simon-sama a little. Not the impression that his appearance gives off and from the rumors about him in society, I should try collecting the rumors inside the knight order. I have to firmly grasp in advance what kind of person is the man that is going to became my husband.
I have to consider exactly how to collect information.
In order to not being suspected bu Simon-sama, and to continue my hobby. I hope this engagement won't be broken, but I won't yeld one bit on this line.
Maybe, I am engaged to a very troublesome person.
While I thought this, I couldn't pin down my boiling moe.
How dreadful, I can't be careless. As expected from Simon-sama, he's way too superb.
Any kind of event can become the foundation of a story.
My body will go in crisis as long as the food is displayed . My writer's soul is in good health today too. Even this panicking I'll transform it into a work someday!
Future husband of mine, Marielle is more and more going to burst with moe. Please from now on, don't abandon me, I'm in your care alright?
Naoriel’s little corner °•○☆
