Chapter 49.5 Extra: Quiet Girls and Boys’ Romance
“Wow …! “
Laurier burst out unintentionally and her expression was as though flowers had bloomed around her face. Serena spoke with a smile when she saw Laurier being like this.
“How? This area is especially beautiful during this time, isn’t it?”
“Yes! Thank you, Selena!”
“I’m glad you’re happy.”
Seeing the other boy fidgeting, Selena sighed..
“Celeu, I know how you feel, but let’s show Laurier around together.”
“Sist-, but…”
“You’re in too much of a rush to meet Duke Fohr that you so admire.”
Selena didn’t know how he felt from being helped mentally by Callis so much, however she still took care of him as an older sister should.
“Father and Duke Fohr are talking about important things now. So for now, show Laurier around with me.”
“Ye-yes … excuse me, Laurier.”
“It’s okay!”
Laurier laughed brightly. As though Callis was watching, Serena hugged her and said, “I’m not going to let you go.”
“She’s cute after all! Laurier-san is cute after all!”
“Nee-chan, you’re troubling Laurier.”
Saying this, he pulled his sister away from a surprised Laurier. Then Celeu looked at Laurier and said,
“Laurier’s father is wonderful, isn’t he?”
“Yes! My father is so cool!”
Laurier answered without hesitation. Celeu whispered deeply to Laurier,
“Duke Fohr is very cool, isn’t he? He’s kind and smart, and I heard from my father that he’s also strong in swordsmanship?”
“Yes, I’ve seen it before. He’s probably stronger than the knights’ leader.”
“Father is very strong!”
Laurier puffed out her chest proudly. While holding back his sister, who seemed like she would hug her again, Celeu said,
“I was saved by Duke Fohr. Duke Fohr told me that even though she was the child of the first Queen, she should find something that she does better than her older brother from the second Queen.”
These were surely words that anyone could have said. But that’s precisely why the person who first voiced this would leave a strong impression. Can I say it was imprinted? Laurier nodded and said, “I know what you mean.”
“My father is kinder than anyone else and stronger than anyone else!”
“Yes. Laurier, can I go with my sister next time?”
“Yes!”
Such a dazzling smile. Is it because the same person is burned so strongly into both of their memories? The two of them were convinced that they would strangely be on good terms.
