Chapter 107
To make him into a man who will be loved by the female lead!
As soon as she arrived at Noel’s room, she slammed the door open without knocking.
“Noel!”
Screaming, she looked inside and saw that he was fastening his shirt collar with the help of a servant.
Rieta put down the flowers and ran to him.
“Can you say it now? Why did you do that yesterday?! Was it a penalty for losing at chess?”
Rieta didn’t realize it, but in fact she was now speaking the fastest she had ever done since she started learning the Imperial language.
It was because she was desperate for Noel’s truth.
With a lot of strength in her arms and eyes holding the flowers, she glared at Noel strongly.
“Well.”
Noel looked at Rieta for a moment.
But it was short-lived, and as soon as he looked elsewhere, he gave a calm answer.
“What are you talking about?”
Rieta took her steps towards where he had turned, and met Noel’s eyes again.
“You’re still behaving strangely.”
Again, Noel turned his head to avoid Rieta.
“You don’t even make eye contact with me . . .”
Did it bother him that Rieta’s voice was mixed with melancholy?
He turned his head slightly towards Rieta.
“It’s not me who is acting strange, it’s the Princess.”
“. . . Me?”
What’s wrong with me?
Rieta looked down at herself now and then.
Nothing really stood out, if any.
“Is it possible that I’m wearing my pajamas so that you avoid my gaze?”
He didn’t give a specific answer, but instead just laughed a little awkwardly.
Of course, it was natural for a gentleman to turn his gaze away from a lady’s pajamas.
“But we played together last week in pajamas.”
Even while playing a prank, there was an incident where the ribbon on Rieta’s pajamas fell off.
Of course, it was a small decoration, so it wasn’t a big problem.
“That was last week, and now is now.”
He neatly made the tie ribbon and wrapped the jacket he was about to wear over Rieta’s shoulders.
“. . . Noel.”
“Yes?”
“Are you really going to wear a jacket inside the house on this hot summer day?”
“I can’t help it. It’s what a gentleman should do. Give me the flowers. They’re heavy, so I’ll carry them for you to your room.”
As he reached out his hand, Rieta turned her body around.
“. . . Huh?”
Was he surprised by her reaction?
Noel was a little perplexed, but soon posed a question openly.
Very carefully . . .
“Princess, are you not happy . . .?”
Was he asking what she was unhappy about? Noel’s change? Or . . .
Crumble.
Rieta looked down at the flowers in her chest.
Come to think of it, Rieta had been thinking that Noel would like to be a man who gave flowers to the female lead.
So, when he bought her flowers in the past, she showed great joy.
It’s important to be consistent.
With that in mind, Rieta turned her body and smiled.
“Of course, I am very happy.”
“Really?!”
Noel was overjoyed for a while, as usual.
But it was only for a short while.
He returned to the form of a courteous gentleman again and took Rieta to the front of her room.
Not forgetting to hold onto the flowers, saying they were heavy.

Returning to her room, Rieta washed thoroughly with cold water. She thought seriously about Noel’s current condition.
I was flustered because it was so different from usual, but . . .
It was not a bad change.
Didn’t he just turn into something the female lead of the original would like?
Ummm. Am I close to my goal?
Because she changed Noel’s behavior and gained the heart of a Princess who would sell him to the female lead.
She didn’t know he would do it all so quickly.
But strange is strange.
A grumpy boy cannot become a gentleman overnight.
Noel Mayer too!
This must have been something for sure.
I don’t know what it is.
She hoped it’s not bad for Noel.
Rieta immersed her shoulders in her cold water one last time, and then she jumped as she screamed. “It’s cold!”

Fortunately, Rieta had an appointment that day.
She wrote yesterday when she sent her reply to the Princess, ‘I can meet you anytime.’ The Princess immediately replied, ‘Then see you tomorrow’ through the Imperial messenger.
The Princess said that she would introduce Rieta to the girls of the same age that she was close to.
That was a remark she was very grateful for.
It would be nice to have female friends.
Female friends that get together to talk about Noel’s weirdness…
. . . She couldn’t.
Rieta was in charge of selling Noel to the world.
No matter how much he behaved like a fool in the house, he had to be seen as the ‘best groom’ in the presence of Princesses and young ladies.
Managing rumors about Noel is one of Rieta’s most important jobs.
She couldn’t help it.
