Hughes of Armantia

The parade boat looks like it is about to dock. This is the project site of one of the education branches.

"Look, look!" Hughes yelled excitedly when he saw for the first time that the things he ordered to build had begun to take shape (although piles had just been driven into the sea to make floating land).

"I'm so excited just seeing this? Then when you see the whole project is completed, don't you faint with joy? As a king, shouldn't you be more solemn?"

A woman's voice sounded from inside the boat.

"Anyway, I was born as a pariah. I didn't intend to hide it, nor did I intend to pretend to be solemn. I just need to be myself." Hughes said.

"Ah!" The voice in the ship sighed again, "No wonder the seven nobles look down on you so much."

Hughes turned back to the cabin and said, "Aren't you one of the seven nobles?"

It turned out that from just now, the woman who had been talking all the time turned out to be Catherine, who had the most problems with Hughes.

"Hey! Don't compare me with them!" Catherine said, "I am me, and they are them. They are born nobles, the second generation rich, and I have embarked on the road of nobility by virtue of my strength."

"Strength? But I heard that the positions of the seven nobles are all hereditary! Could it be that there are fierce battles between brothers and sisters?"

When Hughes said this, a trace of bitterness flashed across Catherine's face, and it seemed that she really meant something.In fact, Hughes is not incomprehensible.In this place where black-haired people are discriminated against, being a black-haired person will be looked down upon.Even if Catherine's father married Catherine's mother who was a black-haired woman, as a princess, Catherine's life would not be much easier.Being pointed at by people, with strong black hair of mother's blood, just bearing this strange gaze is enough to suffocate. This feeling is not clear to others, but Hughes is the most clear.

"I'm sorry!" Hughes said silently, but Catherine turned around and walked to her room without saying a word, as if she didn't want to appreciate it at all.

"Eh!"

Hughes originally wanted to stop her, but he felt that even if he stopped, it was meaningless. Catherine hated Hughes. Hughes himself didn't know it, but the more he knew, the more he wanted to get along with him It's just a relationship.Of course, there is not a trace of impure motives in it.

Just as Hughes was about to sit down, the person sitting on the side took his gaze away.When Catherine was still there, she never said a word. Wouldn't it be too wretched to start talking to him after he left?

"Uh...how? Not happy?" Hughes asked.

Jieer finally seemed to react when he heard Hughes talking to him, but the reaction should be too intense, which made Hughes feel like he didn't want to hear it.

"Why did this woman come here too!" Jieer suddenly yelled and said, "You said you brought me here, why did you suddenly have another woman? Do you like her? If you like her so much, marry her. Anyway, you also said that you like women, don’t you? I might as well give her the position of queen! The fourth nobleman plus the throne of queen, she will really be called the third in Almantia. Take the chair!"

"What are you talking about?" Hughes put his index finger in front of his mouth as if trying to shut him up.

"What did I say? I'm talking about what you're doing!" Zell said.

"Don't let people hear you! Your vinegar jar is too big!"

"That's right! I'm just a vat of vinegar here, and it's sour when you get close to me. If you want to avoid being drowned by vinegar, stay away from me! Just stick it on that woman!"

When there was a lot of noise outside, Catherine's door suddenly opened again, thinking that Catherine must have heard it, and Jieer didn't seem to stop talking at all, Hughes felt that there was nothing he could do for a while .

The door opened, and Catherine came out with the clothes in her hand.

"Manny!"

Although Jieer didn't speak rudely after seeing Catherine, it was obvious that he was not afraid of Catherine hearing it, and Catherine did hear it, but they both acted as if they had nothing to do.But the more this happened, the more heavy Hughes felt the atmosphere.

"Is there something wrong with you?"

The maid named Manny heard the call and ran in from outside the cabin.

"Help me wash the clothes I changed out yesterday."

"Yes!"

After two short sentences, Catherine turned her head and went back to the room.

"Ah..." Seeing that Catherine had gone back, Hughes finally seemed relieved.
