Chapter 179 : What is Love_

Originally intending to greet Elsa, she unexpectedly stumbled upon an unforeseen scene.

To be so intimate with someone other than herself—

The more Yvonne thought about it, the angrier she became.

And to think she had been so worried about her!!

She had initially thought Elsa was being mistreated, but it turns out she's having such a good time with that girl Shirushi every day, seems she's too comfortable to leave.

"Sister......"

Out of concern, Garth followed, walking beside Yvonne,

"Don't speak."

Yvonne was still fuming,

"I know."

Although she knew, she still couldn't help but feel angry,

Love is such a selfish emotion, not wanting her to give this tenderness to anyone else.

Although she had been careful about those capture target event triggers, she hadn't expected that even in front of the same sex, she would still be exuding that damned protagonist charm.

"It's really too much, isn't it! I'm already busy enough here with internal affairs—and that Elsa...!!"

"Don't say that... Maybe there's been some misunderstanding?"

"I don't think so."

That smile......

She is a kind person.

Yvonne knew this, whether it was the protagonist in the original work or the one she lived with day and night, they were both existences skilled at untying knots in hearts and filling gaps in souls.

Just like the bandage needed when injured.

She had also received much redemption from her.

Just like the different routes in a game,

In countless parallel worlds, she should have routes where she falls in love with others, right?

Although just thinking about it makes her feel uncomfortable......

But this is an undeniable fact.

Life is long, they've only just begun,

It's impossible to always keep one's gaze fixed on oneself.

Although she knows it's selfish to think this way.

But......

Still......

She still wants her to reserve this tenderness for herself alone.

·

Still......

The two of them are really too wonderful

Garth recorded this precious scene before him in his yuri eyes on the notebook of his soul.

A jealousy scene is indeed necessary—

·

"—My eye! Something got in my eye~~~ Uwah!!"

"Hold on, don't move... Let me blow on it for you."

However, she seemed quite adept at this kind of personal maid work.

Evie had said before that she had maid qualities... perhaps it's true?

Although being a maid isn't bad, if possible, she only wants to be Yvonne's maid alone.

"By the way... Princess Shirushi, don't you have any friends?"

After spending some time together, Elsa finally discovered this fact.

"W-w-what are you saying—"

Almost jumping out of her chair when this point was exposed, Shirushi was quickly pushed back down by Elsa.

"Hehe... I'm a princess, you know? The young mistress of a country? Those who want to curry favor and please me could form a line holding hands circling the palace walls three times!!"

Although she tried hard to salvage something, the wavering expression on her face had already revealed her inner thoughts,

"...That may be so, but you don't have any girls your age who are close to you, right?"

While combing the other's hair, Elsa sighed somewhat exaggeratedly,

"Princess Shirushi is so hardworking that she has no time to make friends, so she's extremely attached to Big Sister Yvonne who accompanied her when she was young, is that it? Hmm... I think I understand..."

"Don't just analyze people on your own like that! You're really impolite!!"

Shirushi gritted her teeth, her face full of shame and anger.

"Can't be helped, my brothers are all idiots! Those noble young ladies with their heads full of how to marry a good husband are also very boring... Compared to them, Big Sister Yvonne who always tells me interesting stories is of course better—"

"You should give up early—Evie is mine!"

"That way of speaking really makes people uncomfortable. As the heir to the Smollett family's female duke position, she will also become my subject in the future... Your overly subjective statement is not rigorous."

"Huff huff... Princess Shirushi really doesn't understand."

Saying this, Elsa placed her hand on her chest.

"We are in a relationship where we have entrusted our hearts to each other, there's no gap for you to wedge between us!"

...How annoying!

Although slightly younger, Shirushi was not completely ignorant about matters of the heart.

She could still see... how happy Big Sister was now.

This could be seen just from her expression.

Even if they were both girls, as long as their hearts were in sync, they could be together. This mode of interaction made Shirushi feel a bit envious.

What exactly is this thing called 'love'?

She wanted to find the answer from these two.

"The council meeting will end tomorrow, after work is finished, I've made an appointment with Big Sister to have tea together, and ask her to guide me in using wind magic... you should come too."

"Is that okay?!"

Elsa was overjoyed,

She had thought Shirushi's goal was to prevent them from becoming closer, but now it seems that might not be the case?

"Princess Shirushi, please have some tea."

"You... did you deliberately pour tea leaves into my cup?"

"I remember you like it stronger, I've always kept that in mind."

"Well, thank you very much!!"

Sparks seemed to fly in the air.

There probably wasn't a second maid in this palace who dared to quarrel with the princess.

Looking at the two in front of her who were on the verge of using magic to fight, Yvonne had no choice but to smile.

"Looks like you're getting along well."

"Evie!! Aren't you worried about me at all?!"

"Have you done anything that needs me to worry?"

"Of course not! I'm wholeheartedly devoted to Evie, heaven and earth bear witness!!"

"Then it's fine."

Picking up her cup, Yvonne elegantly took a sip of tea.

"Is there anything else you're unsure about? I'll explain it properly!!"

"...There isn't."

Yvonne wasn't the type to cover her ears saying 'I won't listen, I won't listen' when her lover said 'let me explain',

Even if there really was some misunderstanding, as long as she was willing to explain, Yvonne would be willing to listen properly.

"Seeing that you're getting along so well now, I'm relieved."

"Uu..."

Although gaining trust from her was a happy thing... to be honest, Elsa's heart still hoped that Yvonne would care a bit more.

She couldn't help but miss the Yvonne from before who would vigilantly pull her away just for talking to other men for a few sentences,

Where did that caring, tsundere and awkward cute Evie go—

No, no~

This won't do~~

Could it be that love... can disappear?

"............"

Actually, pretending not to care was fake.

Yvonne cared very much, extremely much!

But those men before were capture targets, so of course she had to be careful.

But Shirushi is a girl... so it should be fine, right?

But thinking that she herself is also a girl, her heart that had been rising and falling was lifted again.

Actually, Yvonne was still somewhat conflicted inside.

Being jealous felt like she had lost,

In a relationship, if one side is too proactive, they'll fall into a passive state.

Yvonne felt that she had been completely led by Elsa during this time, so she decided to counterattack.

......

"Princess Shirushi, do you need any refreshments?"

A maid at the side reminded.

"Serve them a bit later."

Shirushi waved her hand,

"Just looking at them makes me feel full..."

Sighing, the Princess rested her chin on one hand, looking at the two in front of her with a helpless smile.

"Princess Shirushi... You can understand too?"

With an expression of finding a comrade, Garth said excitedly,

"Those two are just like that."

"You seem to understand very well."

Shirushi only now noticed that Yvonne seemed to have brought a guest.

"You are... I remember from the Leinster family..."

"Yes, it is I—Garth Leinster."

Garth bowed respectfully.

This person... is so tall!

Even taller than Big Sister by a head,

"Ah... I remember now."

Shirushi recalled the times when she played with Yvonne and Michel when she was young,

At that time, Yvonne would always bring her family's younger brother

He was that crybaby little boy who always followed behind Big Sister...

That little crybaby from back then has grown so tall now?

She remembered this guy was only a year older than her! Why is there such a big height difference!!

"Do you remember me?"

"...Mm."

Due to their blood relation, Garth's appearance was similar to Yvonne's, revealing two pointed canine teeth when smiling. Although he might seem fierce at first glance, after looking for a while, he seemed like a large dog.

For some reason, seeing this bright smile, Shirushi felt her heart skip several beats.
