I Became The Childhood Friend of the Obsessive Second Male Lead

ely turned her body and started running.

Gabriella smiled apologetically at Rieta’s words that Rieta had been looking for her.

“I’m sorry, Princess.”

And she carefully asked for Rieta’s understanding.

“I have to go do the work of a Princess from now on.”

Meeting people who worked hard all day on the hunting ground and praising them for what they hunted.

“So, if it’s about Noel’s story, let’s meet separately next time.
I’ll write you a letter, so let’s schedule it.”

The Princess looked around for a moment.

Fortunately, the knights attached to them by the Duchy were taking good care of Rieta’s surroundings.

“Then take care and go back.
Princess.”

“No, Noel.
Not!”

To the Princess’s greeting, Rieta responded very quickly.
Again, with a misleading sentence.

If I’m embarrassed, my words seem to get tangled.

After all, it was only natural that the Imperial language was foreign to her.

Rieta’s messed up Imperial language continued a little longer.

“Not a story, I.”

But that was it.

She seems to have realized that it is difficult to convey her message through the rush of messy words.

Rieta stopped her speech and opened the handkerchief she was holding.

It had been given to her by Darrel a while ago.

“Princess?”

Even though Gabriella was puzzled, Rieta didn’t say anything else.

She simply wrapped the long hanging handkerchief tightly over her wrist.

Hoping that it will never be released.

“.
.
.
This.”

The Princess murmured in a low voice.

Tying a handkerchief around the wrist was a fairly common scene in hunting competitions.

However, this act.

It was done before one left for the hunt.

Not now when everything is over.

Maybe Rieta came from a foreign country, so she doesn’t know about it?

“Thank you, Princess.
I have already won.”

The Princess lightly touched the sign of victory on her clothes.

Rieta’s gaze followed her hand.

But it was also for a while.

The blue eyes were facing Gabriella again.

“The Princess will win.”

“.
.
.”

Listening to Rieta’s words, the Princess felt a little strange.

It wasn’t because of a strange foreign accent or a slightly flat pronunciation.

Gabriella had one thing on her mind all day long, saying things that people liked to hear.

She wondered why there is no one who can tell her what she wants .
.
.

Besides, she realized that she wasn’t even allowed to ask for something like that until a little while ago.

So .
.
.

She was completely giving up

“You will win.”

However, it was surprising that a young Princess from a small country she had never met more than a couple of times said such a thing.

“Really.”

Standing with an unshakable gaze too.

Gabriella touched the handkerchief, which Rieta had tied, with a hand that had touched the badge a moment before.

At the end, Darrel’s name remained in pretty embroidery.

“.
.
.
It was Darrel.”

As she muttered his name softly, Rieta hurriedly released the handkerchief from her wrist.

“It’s not just Darrel who is praying for the Princess to win.
I’m looking forward to it too!”

Rieta also quickly tied another handkerchief.

Suddenly, there were two handkerchiefs side by side hoping for Gabriella’s victory.

“Next time, the Princess will win! If not, later! If not later .
.
.”

Rieta didn’t know the word for ‘next time’, so she hesitated for a moment.

“Later?”

She didn’t think ‘later time’ was grammatically correct.

However, it was difficult to find a dictionary.

Looking at Gabriella with a perplexed look, she immediately hugged Rieta tightly.

“Thank you.”

Rieta was relieved because the voice she heard in her ears was gentle and somehow happy.

It must have been that all of the unresolved words had been conveyed.

Rieta leaned her head near Gabriella’s heart, and she closed her eyes for a moment.

It’s really good that I entered the novel.

She thought about it for a moment.

Of course, the Princess was someone who would walk the path she wanted even if Rieta did not support her like this.

But if she could give the Princess a little hope earlier, maybe .
.
.

The Princess may achieve what she wanted a little faster than the original story.

“Ah.”

Rieta, who suddenly realized something, slipped out of the Princess’ arms.

“I think it’s ‘then time, not ‘later time.”

Is she still having a problem with the sentences that are still not connected? The Princess smiled a little with a curious look.

Either way, neither was the right answer, and the Princess couldn’t find the right word.

“I can’t help it.
I will make sure to win ‘next time’.
Princess.”

That way, Rieta won’t have to struggle with strange words like ‘then time’ or ‘later time’.

“Yes, that would be great!”

Of course, Rieta actively agreed with that opinion.

The Imperial language is very difficult, she said, not forgetting to complain slightly.
