He couldn’t understand why he was painstakingly mulling over every single word from others.
It would be nice if he could just brush it off like Alicia.
“Was I not indifferent?”
He remembered Alicia’s pouting face and unintentionally let out a small laugh.
“……”
He was surprised to recall the soft, gentle, and plush touch that he felt on his finger, which seemed to be easily crushed if pressed too hard.
“Could it be me?”
He covered his mouth with a serious expression.
“Am I really going mad?”
With his complexion growing even darker, he eventually stood up from his seat.
It was impossible to continue working anyway.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Alicia also had a lot on her mind.
Suddenly, she realized she was just holding the pen over the paper, causing a dark blotch.
“Ah, I can’t do any more today.”
Although it was earlier than usual, she finally put down her pen and started packing up her belongings.
“Are you leaving already?”
At Eric’s voice, she lifted her head while sorting out the documents.
“What’s going on? You’re leaving earlier than usual.”
“Ah, it turned out that way. You’re also earlier than usual.”
“It turned out that way.”
They awkwardly stared at each other until Alicia bowed her head to finish tidying up the documents on the desk and walked over to stand in front of Eric.
“Alicia.”
“I don’t care.”
“Huh?”
“About your rumors. Upon reflection, it’s not that I don’t care. Honestly, I wasn’t very pleased.”
“……Why?”
“I don’t know. Why did I feel that way?”
“?”
“Um, it’s okay when I do it, but I hate it when others do it?”
As Alicia moved with a teasing smile on her face, Eric followed her.
“But how did you end up like this? I didn’t think you were the kind of person to spread such rumors.”
“Do you really think so?”
“Eric, as I’ve known him, is.”
“You’re good at reading people.”
Descending the stairs, Alicia glanced at Eric, who was responding playfully.
“You’re not hiding your true self, are you?”
“Not at all. You’ve seen a lot more.”
“Like what?”
“Awkward, troubled, confused, desperate and.”
“?”
“Laughing.”
Alicia stopped and looked back at Eric who was standing behind her.
“Do you not laugh often?”
“I didn’t realize it until the employees mentioned it.”
Eric, who had been following her, walked past Alicia, who started to follow him down the stairs.
“Butler, the carriage.”
“Yes, Earl.”
As the butler left to call the carriage, Eric and Alicia were left alone, standing quietly.
Eric glanced at Alicia standing beside him.
Despite the time he spent worrying, Alicia said she didn’t care about the rumor, but it wasn’t like she didn’t care.
It was surprising how she said exactly what he wanted to hear.
“Why?”
He must have been staring too much because he met Alicia’s gaze.
“No, just.”
“Ah, now I’ve seen you ‘awkward’ and ‘laughing’.”
“That so.”
“Are you ‘troubled’ now?”
“I’ll put it to good use for a while.”
“Pff.”
He turned his head away from the teasing Alicia.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the front door.
“The carriage is here.”
Eric opened the door of the carriage and offered his hand.
Alicia took Eric’s hand and climbed into the carriage, then took her seat.
“?”
Even after climbing into the carriage, Alicia didn’t let go of Eric’s hand, prompting him to look at her with a puzzled expression.
“Is it okay for a moment?”
“Huh?”
“I have something to say.”
“A talk? Now?”
“Get in. It’ll only take a moment.”
As Eric climbed into the carriage in a tense state, Alicia shut the carriage door.
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s about us.”
“I’m nervous. What about us?”
Eric tried to smile as he awaited Alicia’s next words.
“I’ve thought about it. Our reason for divorce.”
“······.”
“I won’t pass all the responsibility to you because I was the one who proposed the contract, and you also said we’re equal partners.”
“?”
“Even if your personality is truly terrible, you’re a vagabond from the demon world, or a gatekeeper of hell.”
“······This is the first time I’ve heard about the gatekeeper of hell.”
“Ah, as expected, rumors can’t be trusted. They’re always exaggerated.”
Alicia, seeming embarrassed, shrugged off.
“Anyway, I won’t set those as our reasons for divorce.”
“……Why?”
“I don’t really know if your character is as bad as people say.”
“······.”
“I told you earlier. It doesn’t seem like you’re the person they talk about.”
“That’s right.”
“In fact, I think you’re a quite good, no, a great person.”
So she thought it would be nice if, after the contract ended, there were no bad rumors about him because of her.
It was embarrassing, so she couldn’t say it outright.
“And I will decline to be within that 3% of Britannia of yours. It’s hurtful to my pride.”
“······.”
“I proposed it first, so it’s okay for me to end it first, right?”
“……You’ve already been rejected twice by me, do you remember?”
“Eek.”
Alicia, taken aback, stammered an excuse.
“Do. Haven’t you heard of the saying, ‘third time’s the charm’?”
“Even for rejection, you need three times?”
“That’s not the important part right now.”
Right.
Whether she gets rejected multiple times is not what’s important.
What’s important is that right now her feelings are indescribably odd, and she thinks it might be okay to be rejected by this woman multiple times.
……That didn’t seem right, so Eric brushed his hair back and finally laughed.
“I had a lot of thoughts about what I wanted to say, what’s with this reaction? Was I the only serious one? It feels unfair.”
“Huh? Unfair? I also worried a lot.”
“What were you worried about?”
“Well, it’s just that you resolved it so effortlessly that it’s a little hard to say.”
“Me?”
“Yes. You. So, I think I’m a bit moved right now.”
“What are you talking about.”
Embarrassed, Alicia bit her lip as Eric stared intently at her.
