[Attack on Titan] behind the scenes

It must be a supreme honor for any noble girl to receive the marriage proposal letter from the Marquis.If he not only has a title but also has a lot of wealth, then he will be the object of pursuit by various families.

Of course, if you propose in person, it will be more romantic and you can see the sincerity of the other party, and it may become a good story.

But Felicia, who received this letter, did not feel the joy she expected. She neither cared about the sincerity of the other party, nor did she have the slightest glory.Apart from a head-on blow, she couldn't think of any other words to describe her mood at this time...

Erwin left because he had something else to do, and he seemed to be planning to give her time to think about it.

But Felicia felt that she would not be able to give an answer in the short term...

"Marquis Abel, thank you for your kindness, but can I ask you to wait for a while?"

Felicia wrote while deliberating her words: "I have just grown up, and I have not yet adapted to this status. At the same time, there are many things I want to do. I am afraid that I will not be able to realize it after getting married rashly."

It took her a lot of effort to complete the short one-page letter.

I don’t remember how many times I stopped writing, how many times I scratched my head to think about sentences, and how many times I threw away the letter paper. Felicia wrote a reply letter sincerely, but the content in it was neither agreed nor rejected. .

She said the reason why she couldn't agree in a tactful and regretful tone, but deliberately revealed a message that I really want to marry you.She procrastinated like this without giving a complete answer.

After writing the letter and sealing it with lacquer, Felicia sighed deeply.

The attitude of this letter is really not her attitude towards feelings.But now she really doesn't know how to answer...

The Marquis had also sent a letter before, but she refused decisively because she still had contacts with Prince Harris.

As a result, he sent this letter again recently. Did he hear any troubles?Or was he too tactful in his refusal?

Felicia didn't know, the letter of marriage proposal came and went, and the other party's stalking also made Felicia feel unbelievable.

However, it would be useless to think about it any further, so Felicia began to sort out other documents after throwing away the reply letter casually.

Just as Felicia was about to refocus her energy on work, another letter caught her eye.

"Xibel?" Looking at the family emblem, Felicia frowned again in confusion.

Why did I receive letters from nobles as soon as I returned?

Curious, she opened the envelope.

Invitation words are written on the letter paper in beautiful cursive script.

It was an invitation letter inviting her to drink tea at the house, and it said between the lines that this was a small gathering between sisters, and I hope she will go to lie down no matter what.

"Why do you suddenly want to see me?"

Felicia, who was holding the letter, felt weird, but she was full of troubles at the moment, and she felt a headache when she thought of the previous reply.

"...Forget it, it's okay to go"

In the end, Felicia decided to put her troubles behind her for the time being.She put on her coat and left work, and hurried to Hiber's mansion.

***

"Miss is waiting for you in the garden"

Under the guidance of the housekeeper, Felicia walked through large and small corridors to the garden balcony.

Xibel was wearing a pink puff-sleeved dress and leaning halfway on the long recliner. She was holding a white porcelain teacup and looking at the field of red roses. She was in a trance, but didn't reflect for a while.

"Miss, Miss Felicia is here"

The old butler cleared his throat and said solemnly.

"Ah! Sorry, I'm in a daze. Sit down"

Hiber, who came back to his senses, put down his teacup and looked at Felicia hesitantly, instead of flying up to hug her like before.

"What's wrong? Want to see me suddenly?"

Felicia took off her coat, and the butler quickly delivered the second tea set after putting it away for her, and began to pour tea and water.

"I heard... the Marquis of Abel proposed to you, didn't he?"

why would you know

I don't know why I can't say the words that come to my lips...

"Yeah, it's really difficult..."

She sighed softly, and to cover up her helplessness, she picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"That's right... This thing is really difficult, so how did you answer it? I really want to see your reaction at that time~"

"That's really sorry, there is no special reaction."

After receiving such a letter, how could there be no response at all.Not only that, but Felicia found that there were some other suitors in the letter that had not been processed many days ago.

But because the other party's title and wealth were not worth considering, he politely declined.

And Marquis Abel's offer was really hard to refuse.Perhaps Felicia has already noticed it for a second, should she be happy for this retreat?

Besides, the other party is over 60 years old, maybe one day an accident will take his life away, so that his property and rights will all fall into his own name?

But he also has several children, and I'm afraid there will be more problems if he agrees.

Felicia sighed again at the thought.

Seeing Felicia sighing all the time, Hiber looked at the sea of ​​roses again.She had never seen Felicia so listless, never heard her sigh so much, but she had no way to comfort her.

"Don't think so much, Physia. Sometimes, our fate is beyond our control...

Felicia was a little surprised when Hiber suddenly said this.

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

In her impression, Xibel is not someone who can easily talk about fate?

Felicia frowned slightly, looking at the only person in front of her who could be called a friend, she felt strange for a while.

"...I know I shouldn't keep it from you, but...you're going to blame me..."

"I blame you? Why?"

Hiber put down his teacup, and bit his lower lip tightly for a while.

"My father... took me to a ball in the palace a few days ago... because you were sick and away, so I didn't invite you... Then, the princess..."

Hiber trembled for a while before expressing his meaning completely.

Probably not long ago, with the help of her father, she was able to attend the ball in the palace and met Prince Harris.

After that, the two went out together and danced together.Prince Harris seems to be full of affection for her, and has been chasing after her.Seeing this scene, the father arranged various activities intensively so that they could meet many times.

Just after Felicia was stabbed, the royal family announced a shortlist for the future princess.

Although it contained Felicia's name, it was announced when she was not present, and the nobles at this time knew well... there was no hope.

"You don't need to apologize to me... Hibel"

At the end, Felicia just smiled wryly.

It would be great if the plan went as smoothly as she thought, but if it didn't work out, she wouldn't be as depressed as everyone imagined.

That is the royal family, not everyone can marry into it.I have no father, no mother, and no brothers or friends. Although I use some rights such as casinos, my contacts are scarce. If I become a princess in the future, who will support her?help her?

In the past few years, Harris had a new love, and his family was good, so he might not know when he was poisoned to death.

The reassuring words of marrying into the royal family are just for Erwin, so that he will stop meddling in his own business, but only he can understand all kinds of difficulties.

"You, don't you blame me?"

"How can I blame you? I am not attractive enough to attract Prince Harris. What does it have to do with you?"

Besides, you are just being manipulated by your father to marry a man you don't love... Strictly speaking, Felicia feels that she is much better than her.

When he said the latter sentence, Hiber just raised the corners of his lips helplessly.She couldn't marry the one she loved the most, so she married the one her parents wanted.Thinking about it carefully, maybe it's compensation for Felicia?

"Hope our friendship stays the same..."

"kindness"

Felicia raised her teacup and saluted her.

Hiber also clinked glasses with her.

"So... you will come to our engagement ceremony?"

puff!With a bang, Felicia almost spat out tea rudely.She quickly picked up the handkerchief at hand to wipe the tea splashed from the corner of her mouth.

"Quick! When?"

"next week..."

Depend on!This Nima is the point! !

At this time, Felicia could only use this word to express her opinion.

No wonder there will be a marriage proposal letter, and it really means that I have no hope.

However, when she actually heard the news that the prince and Xibel were going to be engaged, Felicia had a strange feeling... She couldn't say what it was, she just felt empty...

As for whether it is reassuring or uncomfortable, no one knows...
