At the same time, Ricardo and I turned our heads over there and found Merrill, who stood outside the East room, stared at this side.
(Why was she here?)
There were only a few people who would seldom come to the courtyard, so her appearance may be just a coincidence today.
Unfortunately, as if she had seen all that happened just now.
âEh? Ah, I, IâŠâ
Merrill stood there with a stunned look, her big rose-colored eyes opened wider.
(Due to Merrillâs love for Ricardo, she must have been impacted by our posture!)
I hurried to explain it to Merrill when Ricardo stopped me, âNo explanationsâ. This time, I stood up with his help and then walked in the direction of Merrill.
âPrincess Merrill!â
Merrill interrupted my words, squatted in the place and covered her big eyes with hands.
âNo, it doesnât matter! Iâm sorry, I just feel a little surprised. I didnât expect⊠I donât know you two have developed such a close relationship.â
</aside>
âNo, this isâŠâ
âNever mind. Itâs a fair competition. But I didnât expect Britney would use your body to court Ricardo.â
In these words, there seemed to be some criticism part.
âWell, Iâm afraid you misunderstand this.â
But Merrill didnât listen to me and began to drift.
âRicardo is also a man who would be lured by that method.â
Then Princess Merrill was deeply convinced of her own fantasy.
The misunderstanding must be solved as soon as possible, most importantly for Ricardoâs reputation.
However, when I stood out to explain what happened to Merrill, Ricardo stopped me from behind.
Then he went in front of Merrill as if to shelter me.
âHer Highness. Britney is not that kind of girls from the nobles you think. On the contrary, she behaves herself decently. Please donât demean her as a woman who uses her body to attract the opposite sex. Britney fell down just now. As for what happened afterward, everything was my fault. If you want to criticize, Iâm the only oneâŠâ
</aside>
I couldnât help turn around and protest to Ricardo.
âIs that Ricardoâs fault?â
âNo, itâs not. It began from my tumble⊠â
âNo, it wasnât. At first, I fell down and thenâŠâ
After a short period of debate, Merrill calmed down.
âI know. I will not tell anyone about it. And I wonât get involved in your matter anymore.â
After the words finished, she staggered away from the east courtyard.
Looking at Merrillâs shadowy figure, I knew she refused further dialogue.
