78 [11] Childhood familiarity

On that day, as usual, Berta had been sneaking out into the city of Meseta.

I was still a teenager, the most active, and I wanted to have an adventure with my children alone.

The return journey was stopped by relatives of a branch.

Well, isn't that Belta?

Perfect. It's time for my snack pie to bake.Would you stop by?

Belta was invited to their house, having been intimately talked to by the women of the branch and being advised by all means.

In the meantime, the maids may blame me for vacating the house of Messeta for too long in front of them as they go out with patience.

Belta couldn't refuse the invitations of the women in the branch, and the childhood oracio, who was hanging out with her patiently, looked reluctant.

However, when they hurried me a little, Orasio didn't disagree so strongly with each other in the same family.

While they "kidnapped" Berta in this way, they had no choice but to be polite to her in-laws at all times.The snack pie was really freshly baked and delicious.

... it turns out that one of the branches who was trying to take Leandro aside was basically not brave enough to bow to his father.

Therefore, even though Belta remembered some strange discomfort in the attitude of the women, it was not enough to sense her personal danger.

It's time to go home.

Even if you try to leave.

That's why tea is here.

Do you have good tea leaves?Would you like another drink?

After all, the flow continues that you can be held by pulling your arm.

It was about time that Leandro himself changed his blood phase and jumped into the mansion of the branch, whether or not he began to seriously doubt the strength of the women.

─ ─ Hey! Gaspurt! I bet you didn't do anything to Berta!?

Belta was finally about to put her mouth on the tea that had been brewed over a long period of time.

However, as he watched Belta in the room, Leandro quickly ran over his crotch and fell off the tea utensil that Belta had in his hand.

─ Ah, when......

It wasn't hot.

Because the women spent too much time making tea, it was completely cold.But in response to Leandro's sudden obscenity, Berta's bodyguard Olasio changed his bloodline.

Leandro! What are you doing to the princess!

"You're the one... why is this happening while you're around!"

─ Haah!?

Only Leandro of the three understood the situation correctly.He stepped on the dungeon in a hurry and stared at Berta.

Berta still couldn't understand why he was in such a serious condition and frowned.

The dress was a simple way to get out of town, but I liked it.I spilled tea and got dirty.

Leandro's gaze was directed at the whole body of Belta with the intention of ascertaining something, and it became unclear what it was, and Belta just tasted the sticky discomfort.

"...... hey, you didn't do anything?"

With what?

Injuries and stuff like that...

Anyway, Leandro seemed to have gotten ridiculous on the whole.

After a sigh of relief for his own sake, he naturally scattered his frustrating spear toward Belta.

You shouldn't be carelessly mouthing something that was put out outside.What if it's poison or sleeping pills, you idiot? "

Hah??

When Berta was about to say back, the owner of the branch appeared to hear the noise and changed his blood phase.

At that moment, Leandro jumped out like he had been hit and put a heavy kick on his weight into the head of the division with momentum.

- Gashan!

There was a loud audible noise, and the tableware on the table fell to the floor, cracked, and the legs of the table broke with the weight of the beaten main body, making a noise of breaking.

Haa, haaa!

─ Please don't, Dear Leandro!

He punched me in the face while I was a horse rider.The heavy sound of the swinging fist hitting the bones, the tall sound of the linen breaking, the screams of the women overlapped, and only Berta and Orasio were completely out of the mosquito net by being paranoid.

"Nah, nah, Les, Dear Leandro!... we're here for you!"

"For me? What did you really do?!Ah? Try to hurt Berta, I'm not gonna let that son of a bitch kill me, either!You too, you bastard!

... to put it simply, that's the crude end to the "kidnapping" commotion.

From what I heard later, it appears that Leandro himself was completely responsible for this kidnapping disturbance.

They only told me that they had abducted Berta, that the bride would do it, and that he rushed desperately with his bloody pale face.

As for Belta, there is no perception that something happened.Either way, it is an incident of the impression that I only improperly touched my father's scales while exposing my family to shame.

Nevertheless, my father disposed of Leandro in this matter, even in light of such circumstances.

Nobody liked to expose the shame of their inner circles.Externally, this ridiculous farce was followed by a decree.

Outside the clan, it seemed that the Leandro clan had been neglected and disposed of by their father due to a confrontation over succession issues.

The principals of the branch who were the main culprits were also silently punished.Considering the anger of my father, it was fortunate that there were no dead.

Fortunately, there was an oracio by Berta all day.

─ ─ I wasn't really surprised by any incident.I acted with the princess all day long. "

Orasio's testimony was trusted because he usually entered and exited the main house as a playmate for Berta and Leandro, and because he himself came from a trustworthy branch.

I went out to the city to buy and eat.Yeah, well attached.On the way home, I was asked to come home to someone from my branch.The princess refused at first and tried to return to the Mansion, but she was weak to push her aunts.... the people in the subdivision have an atmosphere of wanting to return only me, which is strange to me at the moment.Of course, I followed her and stayed by the princess all the time. "

Orasio's incalculable testimony also made Berta the most reproachful of "not walking with flattery and patience."

After that, Belta herself had to be restrained considerably, so personally, it hurt so much.

Besides, Belta thought it would be nice if Leandro had a little more excuse.

Obviously, he was just swayed by the human courage of the subdivision, and at least he didn't seem conscious of kidnapping Berta and doing anything about it.

Even though Orasio's testimony connected the skin of his neck, if he tries to cry harder and elicit more favorable testimony, Orasio is no stranger to Leandro.He would have made it easier for me somewhat.

However, Leandro did not make any excuses about the incident, and even apologized to Berta for 'making me feel afraid and sorry'.

Such an extraordinary attitude fuelled the feeling that "something extraordinary had happened" and "at least in his heart", and continues to invite unwanted evil exhortations from the old maids of Berta.

Leandro, who was still a mid-degree child at the time, was suddenly banished and wondering what would happen afterwards, but he then went on a wandering journey to a remote place, where he was playing a pretty good ropeway while being rubbed by the rough waves of the world.

I'm sure my father wasn't completely abandoned, and he might have lent me a minimal amount of help each time.

――……

"Well, I know that's what's causing Leandro's appointment.That was almost a decade ago, and it's time for you to keep your anger down and do well with Leandro.Nevertheless, we must also work with the ministers of Leandro who will be staying in King's Landing in the future. "

Belta complained so much to the maids that it was time to mention the attitude of her own servants.

Usually, the maids obeyed Berta's decisions honestly, but they nevertheless reacted reluctantly to the matter.

After they looked at each other slightly, Lisa finally opened her mouth as if she had made up her mind.

"... Princess, I know exactly what you're saying.... but I also say how I feel. "

"Yes?"

Lisa shouted more than she needed after she was able to swim her eyes in search of words.Of course, I'm talking after paying for it.

"----Princess and Leandro, that kind of impression of each other is really 'something happened'!"

And finally, Lisa burst out of breath, and Belta opened her eyes.Another maid stood with her hands up to support Lisa on both shoulders, subtly agreeing.

"Something like this, what do you call it?"

"You two are certainly sisters and brothers, but aren't you practically familiar with them?"

... eh?

The maids' allegations were completely unexpected to Belta.Or has that been the case for a long time?

"No, it's usually my sister and brother."

"Not to mention, the princess is now in the queen's seat.We disagree with the idea of putting people who might have doubts about their past relationships and chastity at their side. "

Of course, the maids who had a long relationship with Berta were familiar with both Leandro and Orasio at home, and it was surprising that even those close to them thought so.

"That's fine."

However, for Belta, it was not realistic to listen strictly to the maids' arguments based on it.

"People the same age as me in Kasha's house have always been rumored like that."

Instead of deciding on a specific dowry for Berta, my father kept putting his family's wedded daughter's husband in the air.

My father certainly looked down on me in that sense.

"If you say so, that's true, but...."

Belta was also a carrot hanging from their nose, and Belta herself was their interviewer.

From among the men of the same generation of the clan, he eventually marries the man whom his father admitted and convinced Berta herself.

At that time, Belta thought vaguely that it was such a thing.

I didn't feel there was room for my half-brother among the candidates in that frame.

"Besides, I'm not willing to let go of one of those stupid rumors."

For Berta, people in the family who have grown up as childhood friends have a strong sense of "human resources for their own generation".

Leandro or Olasio - Lisa, you too.

It was the same feeling towards the maids who were still closest to her and were friends.
