Chapter 250
The sudden mention of the bodyguard made me forget the doubts his attitude was giving me.
’Oh. Yes, you did say we would get a bodyguard yesterday...’
It was quite soon. But I guess the Duke is one who takes action immediately once deciding something. So... How can I do this...? Should I just directly ask if we can choose who will be the one to follow us around?
"....."
’Ouf! I don’t care. We have nothing to– No. Wait. Don’t say it... I will jinx it again...’
Being careful not to say we didn’t have anything to lose if we tried since it’s kind of a feature this world has to prove me wrong when I have said this before, I moved to write down the possibility of me choosing the person.
[ When are you going to choose this person, Father? ]
I first asked... Inducing the conversation into the path I wanted it to go so I could ask the question that I really wanted to ask later... Like the villain I should have been in this story, hehe... I’m sure I could do well. But at the same time, I don’t want to be Theressa–
"Your bodyguard... It has already been decided."
"....."
’Welp. There goes the plan. It failed quite quickly.’
I couldn’t even try in the end... Maybe just thinking about not losing anything already jinxed the plan. Or maybe it’s the principle of this world against schemes. That would explain Theressa’s continuous humiliations.
