Drop!! ～A Tale of the Fragrance Princess～

Cordelia gracefully thanked Sylvester as she watched him slowly approach and wanted to scream. If it's true, I'd love to leave this place, but as a Pameladian daughter, I couldn't turn my back while I realized they recognized me.

(But Master Vernault is also Master Vernault...! Why are you inviting His Highness here? You shouldn't go greeting yourself......!

It may not be like Cordelia cares more than Sylvester doesn't show how he cares. Additionally, it is possible that being too respectful is not comfortable for Sylvester. But it doesn't have to be the right time.

"You arrived earlier than I thought, Your Highness"

"Fortunately, we cleared up a lot of things quickly. - Long time no see, Mr. Cordelia. Do you remember?

"Of course, Your Highness. Sylvester."

Sylvester, an adult more than he had seen two years earlier, had grown into a young man who put together a gentle atmosphere. And it was also a familiar face.

(Really, you've become 'Your Highness Sylvester')

It's something that's within your expectations, but you won't be able to help but want to look away by accident.

With Sylvester coming this way, Cordelia wanted to resolve this situation as soon as possible as she gathered extra glance.

(... it wouldn't even be suspicious to back off because I'd be in the way of a colloquial conversation with Lord Vernault, would it?

Then let's back off... I decided so, but Sylvester was quicker to crack his mouth than Cordelia because of the delay in getting to the point where I thought so because of the upset.

"For a while, I hear you've been learning a lot at Uncle Weltria's."

"Yes, I could have had a meaningful time"

Is it from Vernault that you're listening? Or is it from something else?

Cordelia's cheeks were tight about what was on the subject where she didn't know in any case. If Cordelia for Sylvester existed to such an extent that she knew her name, she wouldn't have even been questioned this way. I wish I hadn't told Sylvester.

"You may lose the hands-on experience, but also use the Grand Bookshelf. Perhaps the Great Bookshelf awaits your visit."

"Thank you"

I don't want to spread the word any further, but does it mean that fortunate in misfortune isn't making a bad impression on Sylvester? I don't think we'll have to face each other if they don't like us at all, but it's how difficult the position of Countess makes it.

Most importantly, Sylvester may be a social dictionary to this extent, and Cordelia hopes so.

"Speaking of which, Dilly, you were leaping with Miles earlier."

"Huh? Yeah."

"You didn't have to step on it?

Cordelia opened her eyes to Vernault, who said she was doing a little teasing.

"Naturally!

What are you going to say rude, and on this occasion?

Doesn't that sound like Cordelia is always failing? If Vernault is watching Cordelia at a previous nightclub, he should know as much as he doesn't have to worry about it.

But Vernor looked pleasantly at Cordelia's objections.

"Then it's convenient."

"Huh?"

"Your Highness, how about a dance once in a while? It won't always be all practice and fun either. Dili just said she could dance well."

Cordelia almost screamed at Vernault, who said something.

"Is it me? It would be better if Lord Vernault dealt with you."

"You're disgusting, the situation. Give me a break."

Was the painful refusing line received as a joke, Vernault shrugging his shoulders and laughing. I didn't mean it as a joke, but there's no way I can say that in grandeur. All I have to do is hope Sylvester himself refuses to leap -.

(If you mean patience in the first place, you don't want to stand out)

It should never be unlikely.

Cordelia, who believed so, waited for Sylvester's reply, which showed a little thought.

But my face almost stuck to the hand I was offered.

"So can I ask you for a song?

"Pleasure."

Though I answered instantly, I was whining the opposite word in my heart. It sucks, he said.

In spite of conflicting thoughts and words, it should be said that it was the fruit of the training of the Lady who was able to behave impeccably? Cordelia was to be back in the center of the hall again with the thought that she had done something extra to Vernault. This would have been better if I was tired of my throat. Even when Miles gathered his surrounding gaze, but now he's getting a lot more attention than that.

(I want to escape, but turning my back here is not appropriate as a Pamela family courtier)

If we get this far, we won't be able to get away with it until the end of a song.

Then it makes no sense if you don't make enough moves to see and plant Cordelia's impression around you.

(I didn't want to approach Your Highness. But if you can't get away with it now - at least if this opportunity doesn't make you a place to attract yourself as a fine courtier, it's a real loss...!!)

But as soon as the dance began, Cordelia accidentally opened her eyes.

(Good...!

What I immediately felt was that simple feeling.

I never thought I was bad. However, despite being the first person to leap, stride and tempo were unpleasant moves for Cordelia. Did it happen to coincide with Sylvester, or was it because I was watching Miles and I leap?

When Cordelia was surprised, Sylvester and I exchanged glances.

Sylvester got the look of being poked at the void for a moment, but immediately smiled gently.

"It was worth the practice"

"Huh?"

"Because with a burning blade, you're going to make weird moves with this tension. I may have decided to show you something that doesn't look good."

I know it's not the first time, but maybe I'm not used to the fact that Sylvester also leaps in public because Vernault said it's just practice.

(If this is all you're good at, you don't seem to worry... but even if anything happens, Master Vernault thought I'd be fine and said to me...?

However, it was chosen because it happens to be convenient for the practice bench to build confidence. If that's all I think, I just calmed down a little. This place is broken up as soon as we do it mechanically.

"Your Highness is very good and I don't feel like I'm dealing with you for the first time"

"That would be a great honor."

"Your Highness and the ladies who will be leaping in the future should also keep their mouths in order."

"... you have to work hard to be that way"

Cordelia saw the look on Sylvester's face because she felt the voice color that followed her voice of joy sinked a little, but there was nothing there to be anxious about. Just wondering if it was misheard, it was the separation of the songs, and the Cordelias were back where they belonged.

Then Vernault greeted the two with a light applause.

"You seem to have fully demonstrated the results of your practice. Good luck with Dili, too."

"Oh, that was fun."

Cordelia kept it only to reply in a gentle grace, but Sylvester, who returned the words to Vernault, let go of Cordelia's hand as it was and smiled toward Cordelia.

"Thank you for your time"

"No, welcome."

I managed to get it over with without anything - the relief was somewhat calmer than before I even started dancing to Cordelia.

I decide to ask Vernault what kind of unscrupulous gesture he will give me at a later date, but now I would have had a time not strange to go back enough for once. Leaving first.

"Bye, Your Highness. Dear Vernor, I..."

Please excuse me for this.

Before saying that, Cordelia's arm was suddenly pulled and he turned his back on Vernor and Sylvester. I was surprised by the rather strong force, but I opened my eyes to the identity of those who pull that hand.

"You're so beautiful! What did you say your name was?

There she was, Shelly, who was supposed to have made up her mind two years ago.
