I Reincarnated as a White Pig Noble's Daughter from a Shoujo Manga (On Hold)

Chapter 135 - Suspected to Court Opposite Sex (Part 1&2)

A few days after Nora's date, I came across Ricardo in the east courtyard of the castle.

Tired of walking on crutches, now I was sitting on a chair in the pavilion.

The scent of autumn floating in the late summer, I felt a little lonely in the world.

Ricardo looked up at the sky and sighed softly, with his orange hair tucked behind.

"I have heard about that bet from Ryuze. To tell you the truth, I think the condition attached is too harsh for me now."

"To attain a big achievement in half a year... For everyone, it is a condition hard to meet. If there is anything I can do, please tell me at any time. I will do my best!"

"Ah, that is already a great help. I will not give up the matter of your concern until the last second. I will try my utmost to achieve it."

"Well, I will also work hard."

After I reaffirmed the determination, I stood up with crutches and quickly took a step forward, but...

"Aah!"

I walked so fast that my body was off balance and fell down.

"Britney, watch out!"

In order to protect me, Ricardo leaned out his body and then I struck Ricardo's body heavily.

Ricardo, overwhelmed by weight and falling momentum, held up my body and fell down beneath me.

"... Huh!"

Then my body pressed up against Ricardo.

However, the posture seemed not good – I kissed him so hard on his lips.

(This scene felt like a Chijo attacked a handsome man!)

It frightened me and I tried to drag myself away from Ricardo but couldn't put pressure on my broken foot. Therefore, I lost balance again and tripped next to Ricardo.

"Britney..."

There was a voice coming from the side. I turned around and found Ricardo staring at me with his doleful green eyes.

"Ricardo, I'm sorry. That... I made you fall down."

"Don't apologize, it was my fault. I ran over there and moreover, it didn't annoy me to be underneath Britney."

"Eh...?"

Ricardo stood up slowly as if he hesitated to do, and then he stretched his hand toward me.

Ricardo held my head and kissed me again. He hugged me tightly and spoke gently.

"It doesn't matter if it is you who attack me. I'm pleased about that."

"Are you...?"

"I didn't mean anything indecent! I just want to tell you don't take it into your heart. "

"Hmm, Hmm...?"

Ricardo's green eyes wandered around, trying to disguise shyness.

"Can you stand up?"

"No problem, thank you."

When Ricardo was trying to pull me up from the ground, suddenly there was another breath of someone, except the two of them.

"Hmm...?"

At the same time, Ricardo and I turned our heads over there and found Merrill, who stood outside the East room, stared at this side.

(Why was she here?)

There were only a few people who would seldom come to the courtyard, so her appearance may be just a coincidence today.

Unfortunately, as if she had seen all that happened just now.

"Eh? Ah, I, I..."

Merrill stood there with a stunned look, her big rose-colored eyes opened wider.

(Due to Merrill's love for Ricardo, she must have been impacted by our posture!)

I hurried to explain it to Merrill when Ricardo stopped me, "No explanations". This time, I stood up with his help and then walked in the direction of Merrill.

"Princess Merrill!"

Merrill interrupted my words, squatted in the place and covered her big eyes with hands.

"No, it doesn't matter! I'm sorry, I just feel a little surprised. I didn't expect... I don't know you two have developed such a close relationship."

"No, this is..."

"Never mind. It's a fair competition. But I didn't expect Britney would use your body to court Ricardo."

In these words, there seemed to be some criticism part.

"Well, I'm afraid you misunderstand this."

But Merrill didn't listen to me and began to drift.

"Ricardo is also a man who would be lured by that method."

Then Princess Merrill was deeply convinced of her own fantasy.

The misunderstanding must be solved as soon as possible, most importantly for Ricardo's reputation.

However, when I stood out to explain what happened to Merrill, Ricardo stopped me from behind.

Then he went in front of Merrill as if to shelter me.

"Her Highness. Britney is not that kind of girls from the nobles you think. On the contrary, she behaves herself decently. Please don't demean her as a woman who uses her body to attract the opposite sex. Britney fell down just now. As for what happened afterward, everything was my fault. If you want to criticize, I'm the only one..."

I couldn't help turn around and protest to Ricardo.

"Is that Ricardo's fault?"

"No, it's not. It began from my tumble... "

"No, it wasn't. At first, I fell down and then..."

After a short period of debate, Merrill calmed down.

"I know. I will not tell anyone about it. And I won't get involved in your matter anymore."

After the words finished, she staggered away from the east courtyard.

Looking at Merrill's shadowy figure, I knew she refused further dialogue.
