Act Gracefully As A Villainous Lady

As usual, in the usual tea party setting.

Melia Rose tilted her inner neck to the sight in front of her.

- It's not my fault... is it? Fewer participants...?

The regular tea party, which was overflowing with people, had also become slightly more prominent here lately, fearing that it would be overcrowded for a time.

It is not strange that there are those who do not come, because it is not a place for compulsory participation.

I've been trying to figure out if I'm busy with work or personal matters... but it's unnatural.

She told Lynette and Julia she didn't know, so Merriah Rose decided to hit another information network.

"Hey, you know something, don't you? It usually doesn't make sense. It's like he's fluttering and showing his face all over the place."

Catching Bertram hanging around the court since daylight, as always, Mary Rose asked Straight that way.

Then Bertram looked at him badly.

"Uh... you don't have to worry too much, do you?

"... you know what the cause is. Just tell me."

Bertram is trying to tell me why, but as a Merriam Rose, I'm extra worried about being hidden.

In some cases, it may also be involved in Lynette's progression and retreat.

"Just confess," he sighed as he thought, literally rocking Bertram.

"Okay...... then follow me"

With that said, Bertram began to walk just fine.

This is the corner of a corridor full of people.

I guess that means it's not a good idea for someone to ask.

- I wonder if it's such a bad story...

With a bad feeling, Merriah Rose walked out with Bertram.

◇ ◇ ◇

Bertram brought Meliá Rose to a room in the corner of the Royal Palace's servant compartment.

When the key bundle is removed from the nostalgia, Bertram puts one of them in the keyhole as if nothing had happened and turns it properly.

Then the door opened lightly.

"... hey"

"What?

"Why do you have the keys to this room?"

I don't think Bertram's job description has anything to do with this room.

Moreover, the key bundle I saw earlier had quite a few keys on it. I'm sure he possesses spares of keys not only for this room, but for several rooms in the royal palace.

Even if you don't think about it, it only smells suspicious.

Bertram, questioned by Meliá Rose, smiled sparingly and meditated one eye properly, whispering with his index finger on his mouth.

"Melia Rose, that's forbidden"

".................. ha. You, the more horrible the dust will appear..."

Maybe I shouldn't dare pursue it here.

When Bertram's evil appeared on the table, Merriah Rose was silent, knowing his evil deeds, what a wretch.

I'm sorry to hear it, I see it's eye poison.

"I don't know anything. I don't know anything......" Melia Rose grumbles and steps indoors following Bertram.

The room was apparently like a storeroom, loaded with unused furniture everywhere.

Bertram shut and locked the door as soon as he confirmed that Merriah Rose had entered the room.

Merriah Rose's chest stirs slightly at the heavy sound of the lock falling.

Bertram laughs, knowing or not the heart of such a Meliá Rose.

"Something like this sounds like a secret meeting between me and you."

"Huh? Just leave the joke on your face"

"... you're no different. So, I was just talking."

Finally, to the point......, Merriah Rose corrected her spine.

Bertram looks at such Merriah Rose and narrows her eyes, and Bertram slowly opens her mouth.

"It's you and Lynette's tea party... there's been some strange rumors going around lately"

"Weird rumors?

"That salon... Melia Rose. It's your place for men to fish, and it's a terrible salon where horrible deeds are carried out flat."

Merriam Rose could not understand what Bertram had quietly told her for some time.

A men's fishing place? That tea party??

Meliá Rose, Lynette and Julia had that tea party they had a hard time launching!??

"Ha ha!!?

"Look, calm down. I know how you feel. I know, so just calm down."

How about, and Bertram scolds me, and Meliá Rose breathes haha rough.

Still, the rising anger, confusion and shame are unlikely to subside in the end.

"Dude, a nasty act is going to be done flat... how can you come up with something like that vulgar porn novel!!

I didn't know there were such rumors out there......

Just a little imagination makes my whole body burn hot with anger and shame.

"Of course, I don't think he's all the guys who believe from one to ten... There are many derivative versions. The man who joined the salon and fought your glasses received a letter of call from the Duke of Reishi at a later date, honoring him with a sweet night."

"Ahhh, no more...!

Covering her face with an accidental hand, Meliá Rose sat down on the spot as she drifted.

Imagine with what eyes ever seen by those who know the rumor, and that's going to do something about it.

Bertram has also succumbed beside Merriah Rose, who is too tearful of shame, and has stroked her head all right.

Normally I'd say, "Hey! You're messing up my hair set!" and angry Meliá Rose, and now she had no such temper.

His kindness twitches and stains his beating heart.

"So... you've had fewer participants lately"

"You stay away from the danger, son. You don't want them to think you're involved later when things go wrong. Well, some of them seem to have come all the way here after hearing the rumors..."

"Yes, that's what happened..."

Speaking of which, recently, if you think you can familiarly talk to a man who has never been very involved...

Did they even think there was a call from Merriah Rose, as rumored?

Thinking about it, fatigue hit me more and more.

"How unrestrained I am they think I am..."

Melia Rose was greatly shocked by the facts asked by Bertram.

I've never been as good as rumored at playing men.

Well, when I was playing Villain Warrant Lady, I used to act somewhat like a "bad girl taking a man by the hand"...... But that's just a "swing".

I've never actually acted like a rumor.

Speaking of which, is it about having a date with Willem suddenly?

But it's a cute thing to think about now, like a holiday date between students.

- Ha... I'm going to have lived clean and right...

But I can't stay put forever.

What we need to think about is what we're going to do.

"... thanks for letting me know. It sucks, but it's better than not knowing how you're being seen."

Grabbing the kobushi softly, Merriah Rose never lifts her face to her will.

Bertram then nodded firmly, staring straight into Merriah Rose's eyes.

"Well, let's call it an ops meeting."
