“Why did I have to choose this?”

There was a brief incident, but I went up to the room after a simple meal.

Fortunately or unfortunately, Rosé was out and Gabriel had a schedule, so only Dad and I were at the dinner.

Of course, there was a terrible silence between the two of us.

Anyway, I was still staring at the luxuriously wrapped cufflinks.

“I can’t give this to him.”

It must have already been spread in the mansion that I had bought a present for Gabriel.

I can’t take it back, so I have to give it to him.

‘It is said to contain congratulatory words.’

In fact, there was no need to worry.

If it was something that contains a congratulatory message, it would be valuable enough, so I had to give it as it is.

But the thing is that there’s really no reason for me to give him my congratulatory words.

‘But why am I worrying about it so much? Just, simply just give it to him.’

But then there are so many rumors that my congratulatory words are ominous, and there’s no way Gabriel would like it.

I realized that it was already the 19th time I opened and closed the gift box.

“Ugh. It’s not like me.”

I felt like I was about to explode from the unknown shame.

Biting the flesh in my mouth, I closed the lid of the box as if I was going to throw away my regrets once and for all after closing it.

“As expected, it’s unnecessary, what’s the point of worrying? Let’s stop.”

And also I didn’t have to give it right away today.

So let’s go out and buy another cuff buttons tomorrow and give it to him. Then it’d be simple. Yeah, it was good. Perfect.

Then at that moment when I had already reached to a satisfactory conclusion.

“What do you mean, miss?”

“!”

Hearing the sudden noise, she breathed in.

“Why are you so surprised?”

“Li, Lira? When did you come?”

Surprised, I turned around and saw Lira standing there.

“I knocked three times, but there was no answer, so I tried to come in. But lady…….. Is that what Sien was talking about?”

While making eye contact with the woman who had only blinked with an expressionless face, I almost dropped the gift box containing the cufflinks I was holding.

“That, that actually.”

I felt ashamed for nothing at the gaze that looked like I was doing something interesting.

“It’s not what you are thinking. I’m telling you.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

Come to think of it, it was the first time that I went out and bought a gift for someone other than my family.

This is because, unlike Rosé, who walks freely, I did not go out very often.

Lyra, it’s not what you think. I tried to say so, but I stopped.

What’s Lira thinking?

She didn’t say anything.

Eventually, I closed my eyes tightly and replied.

“Yes, I bought it for Gabriel. But it really doesn’t mean anything. So I’m going to send it through a person tomorrow. Uhm, I don’t think I need to go myself.”

“Yeah, that’s right. You don’t have to move on your own to give the gift. But lady?”

“Huh? Yes?”

When I was relieved that the conversation was over, Lira asked.

“Why tomorrow?”

“What? What do you mean?”

Lira shook her head and spoke as if she did not understand.

“It’s a little late, but I don’t think it would be rude to send it off now, miss.. You can call anyone now to deliver it and it’s not too far away.”

“Ha, but.”

This isn’t it.

I was thinking of buying another cuff button with the same color.

I couldn’t answer why if someone asked me why I’m trying to hide it deep in my drawer, but I didn’t want to give this one to Gabriel.

My mind was really telling me that I shouldn’t give it.

It felt like there would be no turning back after I give it.

But Lira doesn’t know my complicated mind.

“If you leave it to me, I’ll have someone deliver it right away. He’s in the same estate anyway, so it won’t take too long.”

I know that too.

I know better than anyone!

“Don’t worry, miss. I’ll instruct them to deliver it quickly and accurately.

That’s not it…

My hands shook.

But I had to give it to Lyra, who was putting out her hands.

“Okay thank you, I look forward to your kind cooperation. Lira.”

“Yes, ma’am. I’ll get it to him as soon as possible.”

She didn’t say any words about the cufflinks that reminds one of Gabriel’s purple eyes.

********************

Gabriel was nervous.

He wanted to convey his feelings more directly. But if he confessed to Hildea directly and proposed to her, she would be terrified and would run away from him. She probably hates it even now…

‘Then how about that method?’

It was Rosériel who taught me how to do it.

When he was in the middle of the war, she taught him who was depressed because he couldn’t convey his feelings.

How to put a congratulatory message on a necklace.

And the meaning of presenting it.

All you have to do is to miss the other person earnestly and put in your congratulation words on the accessory that have the same color as the other person’s eyes.

It was no less than a proposal of marriage.

If the other person receives it…

The mere thought of it made my face red.

‘What if she doesn’t know what that means? Then it will be of no use.’

Rosériel chuckled.

‘Yes, my sister may not know because she’s not interested in this. But other people will know for sure and that would be a great check’

‘Check?’

‘Of course, that can make sure that useless things don’t stick to my sister!’

That’s what she said , but as Rosé said, Hildea didn’t seem to care about the meaning of the jewel itself.

Because there was no agitation.

But at the very least she accepted it. The important thing was that. My heart was about to burst with only that.

I was able to give her that but…

“Haaa”

He sighed with a gloomy face.

The news that Hildea had gone out to buy a present for someone today had already spread throughout the mansion.

And on top of that a gift for men!

‘Who the hell is the gift for?’

He said it was reliable information because he had heard the information spreading among to Hillington servants.

Of course, the source of the information Gabriel heard from was Dian, a chatty deputy.
.
Just then, a voice that cut his thoughts came in.

“I was right, wasn’t I?”

Gabriel looked up.

Her eyes were sparkling and burdensome, making him frown. Why is she here again?

“What do you mean?”

A few days ago only this looter again came and ripped off his jewels again like always.

The pink-haired Roseriel smiled mischievously.

“Necklace.”

“……”

“You’re pretending that you don’t know now? I said that sister wouldn’t accept it if you just give it to her. That’s why I told you to just give a similar necklace to me.”

It was like that.

So, I had to gift Rosériel a necklace with a different gem but had the same design and had no meaning or sayings.

Those who had not seen Gabriel who gave the necklace and Rosé who received it at that time would not have known how revolting they felt with each other.

“I don’t understand.”

“What?”

“Why did I have to do that? Rosériel, I didn’t need to give you a present, did I?”

Gabriel thought sullenly.

They all know it anyway.

The fact that if he saw Hildea in front of him, his ears would turn red like an idiot.

So, everyone in the mansion already knows that Gabriel von Belkius is madly in love with Hildea. Why, then?

Gabriel looked for a moment.

Rosériel with a cold expression on her face was pathetic and staring at him as if she was about to kill him.

…….?

“Why are you making such a face? I feel bad.”

“Oh, come on!”

Gabriel saw Rosériel contorted and looking like an angry bull.

It wasn’t the face that looked like a meek young-ae, she looked so unconventional and powerful right now.

‘It would look perfect if she was holding a sword in her hand.’

When he was immersed in such a vain thought, Rosé opened her dark evil eyes and glared at him.

Gabriel, who had never hardened before any enemy, flinched his shoulders for unknown reasons.

“Gabriel, you know what? Can’t you think about my sister?”

What does that mean?

“You say you’re too careful with her. So you just keep going round and round, can’t you just leave it to your instincts and act? It’s because you’re still unable to breathe properly in front of my sister. What are you going to do, really?”

“…….”

She frowned.

Instinct, why the hell is Rosériel’s tone of voice like that?

“I’m always careful with Hildea. And what’s wrong with that.”

“Ugh!”

It was a romantic thing to say, but Rosé’s face only grew irritated.

“Oh, this guy really. You have to push and pull each other to fall in love, but you’re just pushing and pushing each other. Are you going to push each other and fall into the sea then? Oh, I’m going crazy.”

“?”

“You have to do something useful to make her fall in love. Let’s just keep it simple. I did that because she wouldn’t have taken the necklace if you haven’t given one to me and also she likes me more than Gabriel!”

Gabriel’s expression rotted like a spoiled food in an instant.

“How can you really be jealous of me too? It would be absurd to if my sister knows that you are like this. Seriously war hero, what will you do if I say about your jealousy in front of my sister?”

Rosériel looked really evil, laughing as if her congestion was going down..

“No, you won’t.”

“What do you mean no?”

The relationship between the two has always been like this.

The topic was always Hildea, where Gabriel offered the prize and Rosériel gave him information, set up a place, and gave advice.

For the last 12 years.

Gabriel asked impatiently.

“What are you really trying to get out of helping me ?”

It was a question he always had.

A question I wanted to ask Rosé since I was young.

Why are you helping me?

I don’t think she’d do it to postpone her engagement to her older sister becauses he didn’t like him…

“I always put my sister’s happiness first. That’s why this is what’s important.”

But Rosériel always changed the subject. That’s what she says so proudly.

“Don’t worry about such useless things, and the war hero has to worry about what will happen in a few days!”

It was really annoying.

Perhaps, if I had an ugly younger brother that the knights used to talk about, I wondered if it would have been something like this.

Then, suddenly Rosériel looked like she was going to make fun of him.

Feeling ominous, he took a step back and retreated.
