nRumble.

nAt that moment, the carriage made a loud noise and shook again.

n“Ack!”

nNoel, who was standing in the middle of the carriage, suddenly fell onto the chair.

nHe fell into a soft chair, so fortunately he wasn’t hurt, but the figure was far from the ‘perfect gentleman’ he was aiming at.

nIn the end, Noel sank into the corner of the carriage, with only his blushing face visible.

nThe road back to the mansion seemed unusually long today.

n* * *

nThat day, Rieta was convinced of one thing from the commotion in the wagon.

nNoel’s gentlemanly behavior is all fake!

nMoreover, the facade was so thin that it was shattered and revealed Noel’s original form with just a little bewilderment.

nThat’s why he was not a gentleman, but just a suspicious person pretending to be a gentleman.’

nRieta hated him for being a suspicious person.

nBut what she hated more than that.

nI didn’t lie! Really!

nIt was the fact that Noel was desperately hiding something from her.

nHow could that be?

nRieta also told all the stories of the shameful Liz Kingdom.

nMore than this.

nRieta made a serious decision.

nI’ll have to find out the identity of that suspicious gentleman!

nThe next day, Rieta got up early in the morning and went out to the garden.

nShe obtained the gardener’s permission, and after she picked a small flower, she went straight to the butler.

n“Excuse me, is Noel okay?”

n“Good morning. Princess. Fortunately, the young master is healthy. He didn’t get hurt anywhere.”

n“That’s a relief. When you fall in a carriage, you usually get seriously hurt.”

n“He was lucky.”

n“I heard that the Duke severely scolded Noel.”

n“That’s because the Duke was surprised too. Many times he had been instructed not to stand up while the carriage was running . . . Anyway, the Princess must always be careful in the carriage.”

n“Yes, thank you. I will.”

n“If you are going to see the young master, should I make sure he is up?”

n“No, I’ll go check it out.”

nRieta immediately climbed the stairs and arrived in front of Noel’s room.

nShe thought about knocking, but today, she just slammed the door open.

n“Noel!”

nShe looked around the room with a loud voice, and found that he was already wearing a suit and sitting at his desk.

nHe was even holding a pen, so he looked like he was writing something.

nYou’re pretending to be a gentleman again.

nRieta walked up to his desk, lowered her waist slightly, and stared intently at Noel.

nJust like she did in the carriage yesterday.

nCome on, show your true colors. You fake gentleman!

n“. . .”

nHowever, no matter how much time passed, Noel’s face did not turn as red as yesterday or showed signs of embarrassment.

nHe stared at Rieta, and she carefully opened her mouth.

n“. . . Princess?”

n“Noel is a liar.”

nRieta said that at first, then checked his reaction again.

nUnsurprisingly, his eyebrows twitched slightly.

nThis is a sign he shows right before he behaves rudely.

nNoel was now pointing a finger at Rieta, and he must have been about to be angry at her by saying, “How could you insult me!”

n“Uh, um. Did you pick that flower from the garden this morning?”

nHowever, Rieta’s predictions were also nicely wrong this time.

nHe pointed to the flower in Rieta’s hand and smiled again with a fake gentleman’s face.

nWhat happened?

nHe was so embarrassed when he said he wasn’t a liar yesterday.

n“Princess?”

n“. . . That’s right, I picked it up from the garden this morning. Because Noel was hurt yesterday.”

n“Ah.”

nHe put down his pen and gently rubbed his cheek.

nIt seems that the fall was embarrassing.

n“Thank you, Princess.”

nRieta handed him the flowers with a reluctant look.

nI was going to push Noel into a lot of trouble and wake him up in his original appearance.

nHow can he be so mature and respond so well?

n“I know Noel is not sick, so I’ll go.”

nRieta turned around with a slightly sullen face.

n“Can I take you to your room?”

n“You don’t have to. It’s close.”

n“All right.”

nRieta grunted and took a few steps before she realized she couldn’t give up here.

n“By the way, Noel.”

n“Yes?”

n“What are you going to do today?”

n“First, I have to write down all the letters I want to send to Sister.”

nPerhaps he was writing a thank you letter for allowing him to attend tea time yesterday.

nYes, he should write that. She didn’t want to disturb him.

n“After that?”

n“I have to eat.”

n“And?”

n“I get it. Do you want to play together? I will spend time with the Princess. But I can’t play for a long time. I have things to do in the afternoon.”

n“Things?”

n“I have a liberal arts class tomorrow, so I’m going to practice.”

nLike the son of a dDke, he was learning a variety of cultures, but recently he has been immersed in music.

n“You mean the piano?”

n“That’s right.”

n“Okay.”

nRieta nodded her head, devising a very vicious plan.

nToday, she was determined to completely awaken Noel’s nature.
