Chapter 113
So maybe Noel will go back to usual, you stupid Princess! What the hell are you doing?!
Rieta felt remorse jabbing at her conscience and scrunched her eyes shut.
“. . . Uhm?”
Soon Noel opened his mouth.
Because it was a voice that contained traces of panic, Rieta felt a little pleasant.
Are you going to be mad? Are you finally going to be mad?
“If you do this, I won’t be able to practice. Princess.”
His fingers slipped again and began to press the keys.
The piano sounded even worse than before.
Of course, it was because she was covering his eyes.
“Look, it’s a mess.”
Was that clumsy sound funny for him?
There was even laughter in Noel’s voice.
There was no sign of anger.
Just like a genuine gentleman.
By this time, Rieta became a little afraid of Noel.
She certainly felt that she had met the ‘normal Noel’ in the carriage yesterday.
She felt that it had completely disappeared within a day.
“. . .”
She didn’t know if the female lead would like this polite Noel, but Rieta was different.
They were close friends
She thought it would be nice if he could be honest as long as he’s with Rieta.
But now . . . she was confused about what Noel’s honest appearance was.
“Princess?”
Rieta burst into tears as Noel suddenly called out her name.
There was something very sad about it . . . it felt as though all the time she spent building a relationship with Noel had vanished in an instant.
. . . You can’t cry.
Rieta tried not to shed the tears that had welled up within her eyes.
But she couldn’t stop them from streaming out. In the end, a streak of tears fell down her white cheeks.
“Princess?”
She felt something strange, and Noel was about to remove Rieta’s hand that had blocked his eyes.
Rieta gave her two hands full strength and held on.
She didn’t know anything else, but she didn’t want to be caught crying.
“Sniffle.”
. . . As soon as she told herself that she didn’t want to be caught, she was immediately caught sniffling.
“Princess?”
Despite Noel’s startled call, Rieta did not remove her hands.
She knew there was no point in covering his eyes, but somehow she didn’t want to let go right then.
There was a sniffing sound again.
No matter how much she bit her lip, there was no sign of stopping the silly sound.
“Pri, Princess, are you crying?”
At that time, a bewildered Noel asked that question.
Rieta responded by screaming with her trembling heart.
“I’m not crying!”
But those words were probably of no use.
Because when Noel suddenly asked, ‘Are you crying?’ her sadness poured out even more and she cried.
Rieta now took her hand away from Noel, and sat down on the floor and began to weep bitterly.
Noel jumped up from the piano chair and wandered around Rieta.
“No, well . . . Why are you crying all of a sudden?”
He was helpless and asked her what was going on, but the only thing that came back was a louder cry.
“Even if the Princess harassed me, I endured it all, right? So why are you crying?”
He gently reached out his hands, hoping that Rieta would calm down, but that had no effect.
No, on the contrary, it seemed to have aroused Rieta’s anger.
The girl lifted her head, and she began to stare closely at Noel.
“Why did you endure it?”
. . . ?
Why endure?
It was a virtue of a true gentleman to laugh off such light jokes, so he endured it.
And when Rieta saw Noel like that, it should make her feel better.
“Why endure! Noel wouldn’t endure it!”
However, Rieta, who was screaming loudly, did not seem to be in a very good mood.
No, she looked very bad.
Because she was crying while burying her face in her hands again.
“Uh . . .”
Noel felt that there was something very, very wrong with his strategy.
After making Rieta happy, he was going to say that he threw the wooden puzzle on purpose.
If something like Rieta’s current meltdown happened, he couldn’t speak frankly.
What to do . . .
Noel squatted down right in front of Rieta.
Seeing the stubborn Rieta cry, Noel was upset for no reason, so he wanted to cry with her.
But a gentleman didn’t cry. For the first time, he held in his tears.
After that, he decided to find out what Rieta actually wanted.
“Hey. Do you want me to be mad?”
Of course, the question felt a bit odd, but there was no turning back.
However, in the current situation, there was no other question to ask.
“. . . Heuk.”
They sat down facing each other and waited a little longer, then Rieta lifted her head up.
Her eyes were red and she looked like a rabbit.
“Noel.”
Rieta couldn’t even speak a sentence at a time because her crying and breathing were so messed up.
“Hmm?”
Thanks to that, Noel answered her by nodding his head every time she took a break.
“When you’re angry, sniffle.”
“Hmm.”
“Get angry.”
“Hmm, and?”
“If you don’t like it . . .”
“Hmm.”
“Waaahhhhhh.”
“. . .”
Rieta remembered the bad memories again, and she began to cry.
