Vernouxs Perspective

Gille stared at me until Dilly returned to the venue, and I deliberately sighed.

I dont think he would be exposed at a time like this, but when it comes to this Prince, he has a bad habit of going incognito, but he is still a good-for-nothing guy.

Hey. I told you to come as 『Sylvester』if you come, right?

In a way, I wanted him to get close to Dilly as 『Sylvester』, thats why I didnt use my magic to change him into 『Gille』.

I told Dilly that I was going to stop delivering their letters for them, but I think he should make progress or give up if he cant.

But, even if I think like this, he has a strange hobby no, the black-haired Prince, who likes to collect mysterious masks, turned away from me with the mask still on his face. This guy is probably the most secretive person in this kingdom.

It seemed like he hadnt forgotten what I had told him, and it was like Gille to come as 『Sylvester』, but his attitude shocked me a lot.

The gatekeeper has to let you pass, so you should have snuck in as 『Sylvester』instead of 『Gille』. Tonight is just for exchanging greetings. You already know Dilly, and shes the daughter of your honoured teacher. You could have snuck in and just greeted her before going back home.

I cant, I wasnt invited. I thought it might make a bad impression on the Earl.

Yeah

Its not like I cant understand that.

I gave the Earl my congratulations yesterday. But he didnt even invite me out of politeness.

Did you think that Earl would do that?

No, but I was going to go if he invited me. But Im glad he hadnt invited me.

Why?

I wonder if he will say that hes not ready yet.

If I were to come, then I would take the limelight away from Dilly. Shes the main star today. I shouldnt get in the way of that.

Im praying that that isnt an excuse from you being a good-for-nothing.

He had talked in a calm voice, so I didnt retort much.

Well, Ill let him off for today. His timing for appearing as 『Sylvester』has already been lost.

However, Gille didnt change the topic even though this was the best opportunity to do so.

Vernoux, youre so relentless.

Im kind enough, arent I? I even held myself back and didnt say that you could have danced with Dilly if you had gotten engaged with her.

Didnt you just say it now?

Youre the one who made me say it.

I said and Gille shrugged.

Its not like I hate it, and Im thankful to hear it. Vernoux, I think of you like a real brother.

Youre saying that now? You dont have to thank me or anything, just move forward.

Yes, Ill get close to her properly. But with the current pattern, shell probably run away from me.

It was rare to see him being optimistic, so I looked straight at him.

I cant see his face because of the mask, but he wasnt just saying that.
