We sat on a bench on a hill and I waited for Ange to calm down, and then it was evening.
Sometimes people come, but when they see us, they move away, thinking we are having a goodbye talk or something.
――I’m no good with women who cry.
After calming down, Ange apologizes for what just happened.
“I’m sorry”
“No, more importantly, you just said you hate yourself?”
“It means exactly what it says”
“Etto――”
Luxion, who felt that we were getting out of hand in our exchange, stepped in between me and Ange and began to mediate.
[Angelica, why is it your fault if Master apologizes? It is the Master’s fault that he is pathetic.]
It’s true that I’m pathetic, but it makes me angry to hear it so clearly.
However, this is not the time to get into an argument with Luxion, so I hold my ground.
Ange, with tears in her eyes, looks at Luxion and tilts her head.
“Leon is a Duke. Besides, he’s a hero who has saved the country many times.”
“――From a social standpoint, Master should not apologize easily, is that what you mean?”
“Yes. And yet, I keep making Leon apologize. I am the woman who will be his wife. And I can’t support him enough.”
Covering her face with both hands and shedding tears, I tell Ange how I honestly feel. “No, it doesn’t matter”
But it seems that my values didn’t get through to Ange.
“Doesn’t matter, you said? Does that mean I’m not good enough for you? That you don’t need my help? Aa~, of course you do. You have Luxion.” Ange raises her head and begins to laugh as she cries.
“That’s not what I meant! It’s not about power or anything like that――” When I was desperately trying to tell her, Luxion interrupted me.
[Master, it’s time. Please return to your student dormitory.]
“Now that’s not――”
[You don’t care? Would it be better if you kept your distance from each other?] Ange started crying again and was in no situation to persuade her.
“Let’s go back. But first, let me tell you something. I never thought I didn’t need Ange.” But my words don’t seem to reach Ange.
“――We don’t know each other well enough.”
