To Noel Mayer, Victorina Bennett was a very strange woman.

He didn’t even want to think about his first meeting with her .

He was on the hunting ground when Rieta went away with Hugh Mclean and Elisha.

Victorina wiped off the polite expression she had in front of Rieta, and she smiled at him

wickedly.

[You like her? Princess Rieta.]

Noel jumped up right after hearing the absurd words she said out of the blue and started screaming.

[Are, are you crazy?!]

Despite his denial, Victorina didn’t seem to believe it.

She, on the contrary, looked at Noel with pity for making such a reaction.

[Lord Mclean immediately acknowledged it.]

[He, he acknowledged it? Did that guy dare to say yes?!]

[He seemed to be having a hard time, but… he didn’t deny his feelings.]

[That bastard!]

Noel acted like he was going to run at him right away, but soon he realized something strange and glared at Victorina.

[By the way, why are you asking such a thing?]

It hasn’t been long since he came to the capital, but she was already going around digging into people’s hearts like this.

That wasn’t a very good thing to do. Noel’s expression darkened.

[I’m not particularly curious, but… Princess Gabriella was very concerned about it.]

[What?]

What does she mean by Princess Gabriella? No, why would she?

Noel waited for Victorina to speak again, unaware that he was making a stupid face.

[And I have been blessed by Princess Gabriella. I will do whatever she wants.]

[Ha, what is that…..]

It seems that Sister Gabriella has made a strange friend.

Having concluded that, Noel asked Victorina no further questions about it.

In any case, it would have been better if the position of Princess Gabriella’s close friend had been taken by such an eccentric person.

It was much better than someone trying to use their friendship with Gabriella poorly.

That was all he thought about Victorina.

He had nothing more to worry about, and he couldn’t afford to do so because his mind was confused.

Rather, what disturbed his mind now was the fact that ‘Mclean has already acknowledged his feelings’.

Noel clenched his fists.

‘That bad guy. I thought so. After all, my senses weren’t wrong.’

The naive Rieta, who didn’t even know that, seemed to be sharing a secret Noel didn’t know.

He wondered what kind of secret Rieta was sharing with Mclean, that they had to take separately from the hunting tent.

He even asked Elisha, who had followed them out, about the conversation between the two of them.

Loyal as always, Elisha did not dare to reveal his master’s conversation.

Noel just guessed that, judging by the bad look on Elisha’s face, there must have been something uneasy.

‘Or maybe…the two of them have a special relationship?’

Anxious, Noel went to Gabriella to discuss the matter.

She was also close with Countess Mclean, and Countess Mclean knew Hugh Mackline better.

He didn’t forget to vent his grievances about the odd Victorina of course.

[Sister ,you must have made a strange friend!]

[Um, a strange friend?]

While Princess Gabriella was agonizing over the various feathers placed on her desk, she didn’t even look at Noel who had come to visit her.

[Victorina Bennet!]

Noel shouted as he picked up a feather that looked reasonably good and held it out.

[Oh, you found something pretty good. An eagle’s feathers. If you make an arrow out of this, will Everett like it?]

[If it was made by Sister, that guy would be happy to cut his hair and put it on.]

With the crooked answer, Princess Gabriella laughed delightfully

[That’s something I definitely want to try.]

[Can you please stop being odd, too?]

Princess Gabriella answered as if she didn’t care, and looked for a few more feathers of the eagle’s wings and put them aside.

[What do you mean odd? Of course, Victorina is nothing special.]

[Ha! A person with nothing special would do such a thing?!]

[Hmm?]

Now her gaze turned to Noel. She has a slightly mischievous smile.

[Victorina did a weird thing?]

[Bizzare!]

[It can’t be.]

Noel was taken aback by that simple reply.

[Do you know what she is walking around talking about?!]

[What did she say?]

[That!]

Noel was about to reveal Victorina’s oddity right away.

But he couldn’t bring himself to say, ‘She asked me and Hugh if we liked Rieta!’

[That? What?]

Gabriella urged him, so Noel managed to give an answer.

[Last time at the hunting ground…… she asked Mclean about something private.]

[Is asking about private things in a private place a problem?]

[…..]

Noel lost his words, staring at Gabriela’s face.

Putting it that way, he had nothing to say.

[That, that’s an overly private matter.]

[For example?]

Gabriella came right in front of Noel. Eyes full of curiosity.
