Everyone was exasperated with Mr. Euto
“Yes. There is a woman who interests me. But I don’t love her or anything. I mean…love is a very intense emotion, isn’t it?”
“I guess it depends on the person… Also, who is this person?”
“Well, I’ll tell you. Because you all seem so interested… The person who I was thinking about is Lugretta.”
“!”
All three of us reacted to this.
After all, I had told them beforehand, so they knew about Ms. Lugretta.
For a moment, I had thought about the possibility that he would mention someone else…but…
Speaking of Nicholas, he had also noticed the way that Ms. Lugretta felt about Mr. Euto.
“…Uh, why are you all staring at me like that?”
“We were just surprised because it was someone you are with most of the time. I thought you two weren’t like that at all…”
“Is that how it looks? Well, Lugretta is here to keep an eye on me. Up until now, I’ve traveled with various other people… But out of everyone, Lugretta would give me the coldest of looks!”
Ah… The reason came out. And I couldn’t help but give him a cold look myself.
Of course, it was nowhere as cold as Ms. Lugretta.
“Oh, you’re not bad yourself!”
That was not a compliment.
“The way she looks at you. It really sends shivers down your spine.”
“I’ve seen it myself. That’s no way to look at a human. It’s as if she is looking at trash…”
Phillip said with a hint of disgust on his face.
“But that’s what is good about it! Those icy eyes of hers! You feel more than a chill. You shudder from your very core!”
“Ah…this guy is hopeless…”
At this point, I was not interested in Mr. Euto’s time. The real problem was Ms. Lugretta’s awful taste in men.
After that, he went on about Ms. Lugretta for some time.
It was quite rare to hear someone talk about his relationship with a woman, and not feel the least bit of excitement or interest.
“…And so there it is. I have asked other people to look at me the same way as her, but… None of them have her talent. So for that reason, she is the person who I am the most interested in.”
Ms. Lugretta’s talent… I doubt she would be happy if she heard that.
If anything, I felt that her real personality was rather warm.
That was my impression based off the way she interacted with the fenrirs.
“Um, I was thinking of something…more…”
“I feel sorry for Ms. Lugretta…”
“Huh? What is the matter with all of you?”
“Anway. Let’s leave the part about the cold eyes for now.”
“Huh? But that’s the most important part! She reminds me of her… I think they have a similar quality.”
Was he talking about his old wife? The queen?
I see… In other words, Mr. Euto had always been like this…
“In other words, what you want in a woman… Is the ability to look down at you with cold eyes?”
Even just saying it out loud felt so ridiculous that I wanted to laugh.
“Oh, it’s not just that. But it is an important aspect. Aside from that…loyalty.”
“That! That is what we wanted to hear!!”
“Uh, that was quite a reaction. I’m a little embarrassed…”
I thought he was going to continue to talk about cold eyes, but he finally said something different.
It could not be helped that I reacted so strongly.
Even Phillip and Nicholas were nodding in agreement.
That being said, it also seemed very hypocritical for him to talk about loyalty when there was that whole story about the ring…
Still, things would not move forward if I brought that up now…
