Chapter 38: 038. I Accept This Marriage (2)
"Heh heh heh."

Maria looked at Friedrich with a pitiful gaze as he stood up laughing, having regained his senses.
What a pathetic duel. He had simply collapsed meekly, unable to even block his opponent's blind sword strike.
"Good, good."
But for some reason, Friedrich had been laughing non-stop like a madman since earlier.
What on earth was so good about it?
"Hmph, for someone who lost, you seem to be in quite a good mood?"
"Of course. Wouldn't it be stranger if I wasn't?"
Maria could only grumble and stamp her foot at Friedrich's carefree attitude.
Veris, who had laid Friedrich down in the living room of Maria's mansion after they arrived earlier, easily brushed off her offer to at least have a cup of tea before leaving.
Given how late it was, it wasn't incomprehensible, but she couldn't help feeling uneasy about it.
