Chapter 153.

Why me? In the face of such encounters, does one still believe that every time will be different?

Believing just like that, but acting like a fool.

“Are you going to deal with me.”

“Ha…”

As if I had lost my mind, my smile caused both Leonard and Iben to lose their laughter.

“Uh….”

But he also suddenly tensed up, feeling that this guy was laughing at him. The favorability rating plummeted once again.

-1%-2%?

It didn’t matter if it plummeted 30% since the favorability was different than before. Disheartened, I turned my head without mattering.

“You answer, Iben.”

“Did I treat you like a rat?”

From that moment on, I was curious what the heroine would say.

Really, is the heroine’s character as kind as the game?

Looking at the crack, even if I reply here that I held myself tightly, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Iben is crying and grinding at the sight of me. The moment Leonard, who couldn’t look away, was about to speak for him

“If asked that way.”

“No, male daughter!”

Ibn shook his head in horror and said “The words of the Duchess are right! I, for I tripped over a stone like a fool and nearly fell. It was you who caught me.”

She went pale, as pale as if she couldn’t hear Leonard’s words.

“Of course ……”

The little one looked at the arm I had caught, her face still sickly. There was no time to let him go because of the sudden accident, but it was deliberately not done in order to hear Iben’s reply.

I raised Ibn’s arm in triumph and gave Leonard a shove. Then spread my fingers neatly before his eyes. Iben’s arm hung down helplessly.

“Unfortunately, you haven’t changed at all.”

I murmured with a shrug of my shoulders. At those words, Leonard’s azure pupils began to quake.

“Penelope,” he just called out to me at the same time I suddenly turned around and quickened my pace.

The idea of taking a walk and trying to explore where Ikris might exist had been put to rest. The idea of getting convinced through this one’s mouth didn’t have to go through them anyway. I don’t know how long it took me.

“Penelope!”

Bing- ! Suddenly I heard a rough lunge behind me and immediately blocked the front.

“I thought you were going to make my sister cry.”

I said with a frown of impatience.” Get out of the way.”

In that instant, Mr. Leonard moved his lips under his breath.

“I’m sorry,” he said.

“I seem to have misunderstood.”

The guy meekly admitted his mistake. Meanwhile, there was darkness over the damned head.

Suddenly remembered Derrick at the palace trial. Easily on and easily off the favorability scale. Don’t mention it, it didn’t move me a bit.

“Just so you know, go away.”

“But the atmosphere at home is also a bit of a mess, and if something were to happen to you now…”

He froze and looked at the guy I’d added the defense to right behind me, and he slowly went mute. Me.

Both eyes glazed over.

“Is that all you’re saying?

“I’m sorry for misunderstanding you.”

“Yeah? ”

I listened to the guy’s apology and nodded. Then smiled.

“Well, that’s good now, isn’t it?” Don’t turn the corner, don’t even go for a walk.

“But I won’t take it.”

I cut the guy off under my breath, and he said the words in my smile. Ghostface was dumbfounded for a second

“……?”

“Your apology, I’m not willing to accept it.”

I remoistened for him sentence by sentence.

Stupid Penelope never got an apology for “greeting the enemy first” or “bad-mouthing” even after Leonard’s altercation.

Even after I promised, I still got one apology.

The reason why the ignored fake eunuch girl is really up in the air is fully understood even by Dream Emily who has done it a few times.

“You ……”

I might not have known he would say something like that, and Leonard had been arguing for quite some time. But after a while, the guy’s face was red and white and he was panting.

“When people apologize, do they have to say it in a way that’s so no big deal that it hurts their heart?”

“Do you have to put people in a bad mood like that even when you apologize? “Gradually.

“Don’t you give me a hard time every time? Why should I accept your apology as a matter of course?”

“What?”

“Sometimes I don’t want to accept your apologies.

I looked carefully at the joke and said in a preachy tone.

“How can people be so exclusive? Don’t force me to apologize.”

“Heh! Now, are you getting back at me because I was like that before?”

I was so angry that I nodded my head straight at the bragging guy

“You try it too. How miserable and dog-like it is to pretend to talk as if nothing happened with someone who despises you. In other words, I’ll do the same to you from now on.”

“Hey, you ……”

The guy seemed to catch on and glared at me menacingly. I examined the top of the head of the dangerously blinking man, then turned to the people around him.

There were no rocks where the head might have been nailed or sharp nails exposed when I was pushed. Of course, there would have been no way for the man on fire to choke me ……

Luckily, no action has been taken yet, and the goodwill doesn’t seem to have dropped that far.

Why did Leonard, who hadn’t moved to stare at me for a long time, anyway, when I was about to move away, he nervously tugged on me…

“Ha… Yeah, that line slipped my mind too. Sorry.”

The irritating adult sighed, surprisingly the guy apologized once again

“It’s not a child either, let’s stop here. How would Eckhardt’s prestige spread if he did that in front of civilians?”

Then glanced at the place with the ribbon and turned it down.

I then thought it was funny : “Eckhardt’s prestige?

As if I heard something funny, I giggled

“You really don’t know? Why I’ve been treated like that even by the specialized maids these days?”

“What? Why did you suddenly say something like that.”

“Because of you, Leonard.”

I stopped laughing and looked straight at the guy.

“What?”

“You just made a fool of yourself in front of civilians like you always do.”

“Hey, Penelope. You 。。。。”

“Because you’ve been ignoring me like a breath of fresh air in front of the servants and knights.”

It’s been a short time because of that, so I’ve been trying to exercise as much self-control as possible. Even if it’s been a bit of annoyance and anger from start to finish, as soon as the guy calms down a bit, he’ll consider going over there nonchalantly.

I’ve never openly mentioned anything about the abuse. Saying things like necklaces and the like during this time was meant to prick the damn guilt when it reached its limit, and the other issues were let off the hook as much as possible.

Because I knew that if the duality of making the unbearable and proud disappeared as well, it would have a big impact on good feelings.

But the situation is not good. The heroine, before she had her coming-of-age ceremony.

It is a force, and I don’t know, my suppressed feelings are exposed as they are.

“You. Because of you, Leonard Eckhardt.”

Jumping out consecutively was menace itself. Leonard was tense, his voice so low it might have boiled over.

“But what the hell’s the prestige?”

It was only then that I exerted myself from killing him as if he were glaring.

“Don’t see me or talk to me for a while… ”

“Penelope…”

“Please, if you’re really sorry, do this. Please, brother. Have a wonderful day.” I smiled like a painting, showing a hint of abhorrence, and greeted with maximum amiability. Then brushed the guy with the crushed face off quickly.

The moment it swiped away, the smile at the corners of his mouth disappeared like a lie, and the cool expression appeared.

The gaze I felt faltering remained on me until the end. But it’s okay.

**

As soon as I got back to my room, I lay on my bed crookedly. As a result, I woke up from my zen sleep without even eating lunch, and repeatedly fell back to sleep.

“… Pei, Miss Penelope.”

Emily carefully woke me up. I opened my eyes to a dark whirring. The sun had already set.

I asked in a hoarse voice.

“… What’s up?”

“Should have eaten dinner. You haven’t eaten anything since yesterday.”

Emily urged me to eat in her fidgety voice.

“Well… I don’t have an appetite. To sleep better.”

I refused, then buried my face helplessly into the pillow again. It’s not like it’s a normal meal, the more I eat, the more I’m going to choke on it

“Miss.”

Emily called to me in an urgent voice as one side of the bed collapsed. Because Emily wasn’t next to the bed.

“What?”

I turned my head and glanced toward her, asking what was on her mind.

Emily hesitated for a moment, then whispered with her head down.

“That woman. Ended up living in his residence.”

She broadcast the news with a bit of a shocked, glazed look.

But I knew that it was a foregone conclusion. I quickly threw a sidelong glance and asked a boring rhetorical question

“Did all the interrogations go through?”

Because of the loss of memory, it seems that not all of it. So for the time being, I decided to stay home and observe for a whilea

“I see.”

But things like that would have been frequent…she’s definitely a fake.”

There was something funny about her arguing fake to the fake eunuch girl.

“Well… It’s fine not to say those same old words.

I replied in a voice with laughter. Then I sighed and said.

“Now is the time when Emily must be sent away.”

And this maid had already started serving Iben without any certainty.

Although it was not the first time we met and felt satisfied, but in the meantime the body had been comfortable due to Emily’s care.

I don’t think I’m a kind master either. But emotions arose without me realizing it…

Even my mouth is shaking extra hard at the thought of her leaving as well.

Maybe it’s because I kicked her out of the room yesterday. Because I don’t want to hear that I want to give up my full-time maid.

-But there was no other way. Someone who’s leaving anyway.

Fortunately, my choice was quicker. Quietly while waiting for Emily’s next words.

“My lady… I’ll communicate her every move to you.”

“What?”

After half a day’s drama, she suddenly said something unexpected 。。。。
