The Duke’s Daughter Is the Knight Captain’s (62) Young Wife

Chapter 37



Coibana

Lilia is choking thoughtfully.

Ladies and gentlemen, when I say that I admire Master Wilhelm, it surprises me most, but Lilia’s reaction is so much that she doesn’t allow anyone else to follow her. Is it that surprising?

Kaho, kaho, coughed up bitterly and Lilia has looked at me with slight tears.

“What do you mean…?

“No, you’re right.”

“No, not that! Oh, Captain Wilhelm is that Knights of Wilhelm Eiblinger, isn’t he?!?

“Yes, it is”

Why does Lilia ask what she understands?

Dear Wilhelm, there may be others by the name, but there is only one Knight Commander Wilhelm.

“Oh, uh… oh, am I crazy? Oh, but… hey, Carol? Captain Wilhelm is… quite Jiji… uh, old… um… old man, isn’t he?!?

“You can’t hide the truth, Lilia.”

“‘Cause it’s not natural! Why are you asking such a person to marry you?

“I’ve always admired you since you were seven”

“More than half of my life!?

Lilia’s surprise isn’t the norm, is it?

Until now, even if I am surprised, I have never been asked why.

But.

I have to tell Lilia that when I think about it, I’m about to cry.

“… but I am”

“Huh?”

“Dear Wilhelm, I’ve been swept away”

“Shh!?

It is sad to recall Master Wilhelm’s strong words of rejection. I’m about to cry.

But I don’t weep.

Because crying women are third-rate, and even if they are hard, women who eat and bind their teeth and endure are first-rate.

“Oh, yeah… why is Carol being fumbled?”

“I was just a kid. It didn’t tell the difference between good and bad things to say. That’s why what I said seems to have touched Master Wilhelm’s scales.”

“Huh? Huh, so they told you they didn’t like it?

“No… just cold, go home, yes… I was told”

– Go home.

Yes, Master Wilhelm, who said it cold and turned his back.

Even if I just remember what you look like, I’m about to cry.

At that moment, I was utterly rejected.

“… go home,” he said?

“Yes…… it was the first time they said it so cold”

“So? Don’t come again? Never come close again?

“No, they didn’t say that”

If they had said that, I might have chosen death on the spot.

That’s just what they told me to go home, but it almost broke my heart.

“… uh, did they just tell you to go home?

“Yes…”

“… What’s wrong with me? Well, I don’t know where it is.”

“Huh…”

To Lilia’s words, I look up unexpectedly.

Sure, I was told to go home. But nothing else has been said in particular.

I was told not to come today because I have a local Knights patrol. But nothing has been said after tomorrow.

That’s what Lilia says, don’t come again, etc.

Oh, my God!

I, I wasn’t fumbled!

“Thank you, Lilia!

“Heh? Did I do something?

“You’re right. I’m certainly not fumbled. That’s just what they told me to leave. And that means that promises after tomorrow will still be valid now!

“… sorry, I don’t know what Carol is talking about”

Lilia is confused.

That’s true, too, and I haven’t explained anything.

For one thing, I’m going to explain to Lilia how it happened.

That I have communicated my thoughts to Master Wilhelm in the context of a nightclub.

Then, visiting the Knights and having lunch with them.

And Master Wilhelm’s rejection.

We also talked about Zach and Robert in between, so it’s been a long time.

Looks like it’s been a long time in retrospect, but it’s only been four days since I, Your Highness, broke my engagement, hasn’t it?

It seems like a long four days. I’m sure it’s because I had the obsessive notion before that if I had time, I would have to study.

The time you don’t have to do anything is something you feel for a long time.

“Hmm… Well, as far as I can tell, you’re not being fumbled, are you?”

“Right……”

It seemed to be my mistake that I was totally, totally flunked.

Master Wilhelm must have thrust away that day in a way that appealed to my inexorable words.

He’s kind.

“Well, if you really like it, why don’t you grab lunch and visit me tomorrow? Looks like the promise’s still in effect.”

“Yes, I intend to”

“And… what is it, Zach, could it have been?

“Yes.”

“Don’t you like Carol?

“Is that so?

Though, I haven’t seen him since I was a kid.

And the memories with Zach, they’re not good. You helped kidnap me in the first place.

Most of all, he told me to reflect and become my knight.

“Hmm… but aren’t we going to go to the Knights many times from now on, and see that Zach again too?

“What do you think? He’s still a first-class knight, not an officer.”

“If they want to see you, they’ll see you. Maybe.”

I don’t really miss you, do I?

I made you cry, and I made you mistake Master Wilhelm for plunging you.

It’s because I was wrong in the first place.

“So, what’s Carol going to do now?

“What do we do, what?

“Aren’t you coming back to school? Miss Mary is famous for her work, and she has a pretty bad reputation around her. In front of His Highness, I won’t say it directly, but it’s like embedding the Duke’s Carol. Nobles other than Your Highness are trying to stay away from me.”

“I’m not going back to school”

“If you care about your engagement to Your Highness, you’re wrong. I was told by a few teachers. Tell Ambrose to come back. Well, seating was excellent, Carol.”

“Really…”

You’ve done something sorry for the teachers.

I have often had discussions about kinetics with Dr. McDonald, a physics teacher. I used to work with Dr. Normandy, a chemistry teacher, on experiments. Think of it, maybe it was the teachers who were getting along outside of Lilia.

Especially after school research with math teacher Dr. Gorbeza often told teachers that once this theory was complete, it could revolutionize the mathematics community. I was doing my best to help.

By the way, Dr. McDonald’s, Dr. Normandy and Dr. Gorbeza are both women. Dr. Golbeza was often mourned for his rugged family name.

“So if you have nothing to do, I’ll talk to you from me. I don’t think they’ve accepted the drop-out report yet. Now, I’m off for a little while, that should do it.”

“Really…”

I’m in trouble. Me, I might be able to get back to school.

I’m glad it’s expected that way, but I think the skin on my face is thick, going back to once I filed for expulsion.

“You’re in trouble”

“You just have to go back. What? You got something to do?

“Yeah, actually.”

I haven’t even confirmed my acceptance yet, and maybe I shouldn’t be pranking people.

But if you pass, you can’t just go back to school, can you?

“I was taking the Knights’ entrance exam.”

“Boo!

Second time today.

Lilia blew out some tea.
