I Became the Childhood Friend of the Northern Duchess - Chapter 153



153 – Even if You Become a King, Be Careful What You Say

As the capital of an empire, Hildeck was overflowing with things to see and do.

Wherever the group walked, something new was always welcoming them with open arms, and it was none other than Sylvia who was most excited.

“Ariel, look at that! That flying thing is a butterfly made of magic!”

As the group passed by Rue Montaire, also known as the artist’s street in Hildeck, the sight of colorful butterflies fluttering was caught in her excited eyes.

Immediately after making a fuss and repeatedly knocking Ariel, Sylvia grabbed her arm and walked closer to where her butterfly was.

The men were embarrassed by the sudden change in direction, but had no choice but to follow behind with a bitter smile.

“That’s interesting. “Could you create creatures with magic?”

When a serious theory of magic came out of Ariel’s mouth as she was observing a butterfly that had crept up to her, Sylvia slapped her on the arm and scolded her.

It was also a quite rare sight between these two people.

“Oh, that’s not it. It’s about artificially emitting light, using magic to shape the light, and then moving it!”

“Is that so? Ah, there’s an explanation written there.”

After checking the sign in front of the man in loose clothes, Ariel finally understood and agreed.

In the first place, the most taboo thing in magic is creating living creatures, so if you make a real butterfly and show it off on the street, you will have nothing to say even if you are shackled right away.

“It’s so pretty that it sparkles. Would it be okay if I decorated the castle as well?”

“Wouldn’t it be okay? But I don’t know if it’s practical.”

“What good is practicality in decoration? It just had to be pretty.”

“That’s right.”

The two people, who were observing butterflies flying around showing off their sparkling lights, had a quite in-depth discussion.

What is the total amount of magical power that goes into it? If you decorate it, what kind of cost should you expect?

For Edgar, who was eavesdropping on the conversation next to her, these were words that made his head dizzy.

“Anyway, it’s interesting. There really is everything these days.”

“Foot, someone would think you’re an old man.”

When Sylvia smiled as she saw Ariel saying something like, ‘Time has improved a lot,’ she looked embarrassed for a moment and scratched her cheek and asked, ‘Did you hear that?’

Since she rarely came out with her, her last name her, these newspaper articles were like stories from another dimension to her.

As she was looking for a place to rest after passing through the street full of butterflies, Sylvia tapped Ariel on the shoulder with a mischievous smile.

“Ariel, then do you know what that is?”

The thing at the tip of her finger was none other than an ice cream shop.

Not long ago, when Ariel went to Ettel with Edgar, it was the first food she saw.

“Hmph, what are you looking at me for? It’s ice cream.”

“Ooh, what’s going on? “I thought you definitely wouldn’t know.”

It has become quite well-known recently with stores opening here and there, but it is also a dish that is rarely seen in the relatively cold northern region.

So, Sylvia thought Ariel wouldn’t know and asked to tease her, but she was surprised when she got an unexpectedly accurate answer.

“You know that much, right? Do you know what kind of castle I live in?”

As Ariel raised her sassy nose and answered in a confident tone, a smile appeared on the lips of Edgar, who overheard her from next to her.

If you hadn’t gone to Etlet, you would never have known about it. Where else would you go to see this precious sight of the former princess being proud of just knowing about ice cream.

It was a pleasure that only he could enjoy, except for the other two who did not even know her true story.

Meanwhile, Sylvia did not stop there and started teasing Ariel in earnest.

Because she happened to have the means to use it.

“Hey, you were right before. Of course, she always went all the way to Ardenum to see Edgar… Ugh!?”

“What are you saying, you idiot!”

Ariel hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands and looked at Edgar’s notice her.

Even though she already knew it, the level of shame was different whether she said it with her own mouth or had it revealed through someone else’s mouth.

“It’s quite a buzz going around like this.”

“Who said it wasn’t?”

Hagel smiled as if he was amused at the sight of the two people bickering, but in contrast, there was only a bitter smile on Edgar’s lips.

It was clear that the four of us had gone out on a joint date, but somehow it felt like taking care of two children rather than a date.

‘But it’s not bad.’

Of course, it would be nice to have a pair of each pair together and give off a sweet air, but Edgar thought it was quite fun as is.

Since we can feel that kind of joy even when we are just walking around anyway, I guess I can say that I am enjoying a more lively and cheerful joy now.

Above all, it was very fun to watch from the side when those two were together, as if I was watching a comedy.

Who would think that they are the wives of the owner of a grand ducal family and the venerable countess?

“Then, while we’re talking, should I at least buy that? It’s a bit hot on me too.”

“Good opinion! I said it because I already wanted to eat it. Hehe.”

As soon as Edgar, who was watching the two, expressed his opinion, Sylvia responded by cheering.

Unlike Ariel, who hates the cold even though she lives in a cold region, Sylvia lives in a relatively warm region and hates the heat.

In that sense, although the weather wasn’t hot today, it was enough to make her sweat a little while walking around, so her ice cream was the best choice for her.

“Ariel, are your legs okay? “Shall we take a break?”

Edgar, who was contemplating whether to walk around or eat at the store, secretly asked Ariel a question.

After getting off the carriage, I walked all the time, so I stopped by for a moment if anyone got tired.

“Are you okay. To this extent.”

In response, Ariel firmly shook her head and expressed that there was no problem.

There may be many people who don’t know her because she mostly stays in her castle, but even though she was like this, she had become quite good at martial arts thanks to her constant learning from Edgar.

Despite her frail appearance, she was quite a strong woman for her to complain that her legs hurt.

Anyway, when it was decided that they were going to eat ice cream, Hagel stepped in front of her, carrying her gun.

The fact that she took on troublesome tasks without a care in the world could be seen as her sincere behavior.

“I’ll buy the ice cream first. Everyone, please wait here for a moment.”

“Shall I go with you?”

It seemed quite inconvenient to carry four dogs alone, so Edgar quietly asked if he would accompany him, but Hagel declined his consideration in a fairly firm tone.

“No, thanks. It’s a bit weird to leave it to just women…”

“Well, I hadn’t thought of that.”

They are not just women, but beautiful women that men on the outside can’t wait to talk to at least once.

Of course, just by looking at his clothes, you can tell that he is not an ordinary person, so you won’t rush at him blindly, but there are people everywhere who do not know how to use fractions. B＞

In preparation for her situation, Edgar decided to stay by the two women’s side, and in the meantime, Hagel decided to quickly go to her store.

From noble mtl dot come

In this case, it can be cumbersome if there are a lot of requests for orders, but fortunately, there was nothing else than Sylvia’s message, ‘If you can add fruit, that’s all you ask for.’

“Hmm… I feel sleepy for some reason. “Is it because I’m exposed to sunlight?”

After seeing that Hagel had left, Sylvia opened her mouth and yawned nakedly.

First of all, I tend to restrain myself by keeping it as small as possible in front of my partner, but it was not relevant in front of these two people.

Meanwhile, Ariel, who was watching Sylvia like this, glared at her with her cold eyes and scolded her.

She thought that she deserved it because she didn’t go to sleep early and stayed up all night passionately despite the exhaustion from yesterday.

“I have no choice but to be tired. So who woke up late?”

“… Huh? Are you sleeping late? What do you mean?”

At Ariel’s scolding her, which continued naturally, Sylvia opened her eyes wide and asked the true meaning of her words.

That’s right, it’s true that Sylvia slept late last night, but on the surface, she went into the room with Hagel and acted like she was going to sleep.

It was Ariel, who was standing in her living room, who spoke with the nuance that she was going to sleep late, so it was incoherent for her to criticize Sylvia for why she slept late.

In other words, the reason Ariel can reprimand Sylvia with such confidence means that she knows the reason why she couldn’t sleep.

“… Ah.”

“…”

And when her thoughts reached that point, Ariel realized that she had made a huge mistake.

At least it was too late.

“Hehe… Ariel? What does this mean?”

“What do you mean?”

“Oh my, are you pretending not to know when you know? “Then, if we have a deep conversation just the two of us, maybe we can find out more?”

Sylvia turned her head to look at Edgar’s condition with her signature friendly smile.

When her body trembled violently for a moment, she became convinced that she had an accomplice and smiled even more.

As soon as that happened, Hagel, who had gone to buy ice cream, returned, and when he sensed that the atmosphere was unusual, he quietly stopped.

“Hagel, I’m sorry, but could you please leave me with Edgar for a moment? “I feel like I have something to talk about with her ex-friend.”

“Story… What do you mean? Then this… ?”

When Hagel, who had her eyes wide open, pointed to the ice cream in her hands, Sylvia responded and held out her hand as if she had forgotten.

“Oh, please give me that. Ariel and I will be eating alone at the store and chatting for a bit, so why don’t you two go somewhere and spend some time together?”

“Yeah, that’s right. How much time… ?”

“About an hour will be enough.”

It was short and long, but it was a welcome story for Edgar, who wanted to escape from this frozen air.

Before Hagel could even say a word, he cast a shoulder strike and quickly took his steps.

Behind her, Ariel looked at him sadly, telling him not to abandon her, but Edgar thought it was her karma for not being careful with her words again today and turned his back on her.

“Come on, Ariel. Let’s have a friendly chat for the first time in a while. Because I think we have a lot to talk about.”

“Yes…”

On this day, for the first time, Ariel had to experience the humiliation of being pushed out by Sylvia.

That’s usually the case from the sinner’s point of view.
