77 – Scene 077# Patrick

*

The timing wasn’t good.

After entering the store, the first thing I bumped into was, of course, Patrick Wolfbert.

Tristan was by no means small, but Patrick was tall enough to have to look up slightly.

In addition, the muscles that could not be hidden even with banquet clothes were wriggling.

It was like a bodybuilder.

Patrick’s eyes met.

The wild eyes glared at me as if they were going to eat me.

But that’s for a while. Soon he pretended not to know me and knelt down in front of Bella.

“Meet the princess.”

Patrick’s face hardened the moment he looked up to kiss Bella’s hand.

He found the ring on her ring finger.

“Whoops… . I will only take your heart.”

Bella quickly hid her hand.

To her, it must have meant refusal to kiss the hand, but in Patrick’s eyes, I don’t know how.

Embarrassed, Patrick rose from his seat.

“You look beautiful today. Lady Gong.”

“thanks. Patrick. Did you just arrive?”

“Yes. I’ve been waiting for you, Princess.”

“Be kind too.”

Bella smiled shyly.

Seeing that she was able to put on a clean smile even on opponents who were reluctant, she was also a pro.

Patrick then pretended to have found me and greeted me.

“Who is this? Isn’t that Count Ruelberta?”

“Well.”

“Is this the first time I saw you at a banquet? But I haven’t seen it yet… … ? a lot of weight… Are you missing?”

Patrick has a puzzled face.

Not even that.

Because I’ve been on a strict diet since I became Tristan.

Jogging that starts early in the morning and muscle training that goes beyond human limits using ‘endurance’.

I felt my body changing day by day.

Sharpened features and slimmer belly. Physical strength that made it hard to get tired even if you moved your body a lot. Even drastic weight loss to the point that I had to change my pants size every week.

Now, when I look in the mirror, Count Pig is nowhere to be seen.

There is only one man who left only one number until he won the lottery.

Still, Patrick laughed sarcasticly.

“hahahaha… . It seems that the Count has finally realized the joy of exercise. After all, isn’t health the best?”

His mouth was smiling, but Patrick’s eyes were shining like those of a beast.

As if asking me why I came here.

“By the way, what did the Count come here for? Besides, with the princess… . As far as I know, the Count is not invited to this meeting, right?”

“I asked to accompany you.”

“A princess?”

“Yes. I think it would be lonely if a woman attended the meeting alone.”

Patrick’s eyes narrowed slightly at Bella’s clever words.

it must be suspicious

Bella, who had shown me a cold attitude not too long ago, brought me along as a companion this time.

‘I’ll have to help.’

Show it through actions rather than words.

I naturally grabbed Bella’s waist.

she didn’t deny it

Rather, it leaned toward me as if it had been waiting for it.

a real pro

Even so, Patrick was still smiling.

“Aha… . When did you two become so close?”

“Whoops… . It’s because we’ve known each other for a long time.”

Bella subtly grabbed my hand, which was placed on her waist.

She also seemed to genuinely enjoy the situation.

But from Patrick’s point of view seeing that, it must be a burning feeling.

“okay… . I heard that the princess rejected the engagement.”

“It was. But I’d like to think about it a little more. I don’t really hate the passion this man has for me.”

“ha ha ha… . If it’s passion, this Patrick won’t lose. Oh, let me show you what I have prepared.”

“Yes?”

When Patrick lifted his hand, the attendant next to him set a large gift package down in front of Bella.

“This… ?”

“It is a gift from my heart. I heard that the princess likes cute things.”

When the attendant unwrapped the package, what came out was… .

“Teddy bear… ?”

“Yes. Isn’t it cute?”

It was a teddy bear the size of a man.

There wasn’t even one.

When the attendant unwrapped the packages behind them, teddy bears large and small continued to appear.

Looking at the scene, Bella said in amazement.

“How many did you bring?”

“I brought as much passion for the princess as I did.”

Bella stared at the doll with a complicated expression before opening her mouth.

“Huh… … . Like Patrick said, everything is cute.”

“Of course! These are all one-of-a-kind teddy bears made to order by famous artisans!”

said Patrick smirking.

It was to the extent that I didn’t have to check my personality with ‘chaebol’ and ‘calculation’.

As Patrick said, the teddy bears were luxurious and rare.

It could be said that it was a well-thought-out gift.

And since Bella can’t get enough of cute things, it must be an effective gift.

But… .

“It’s difficult.”

“Yes… ?”

Bella’s answer was already decided.

She said with a sad face.

“I have a teddy bear that I have been raising for a long time.”

“You mean a teddy bear?”

“yes. It’s because I want to raise only one dog for the rest of my life… . I’m sorry, Patrick. These bears cannot be accepted.”

Bella shook her head slowly.

It was an outright refusal.

Normally, she would not be able to refuse someone else’s favor, but this time she succeeded in rejecting it.

No matter how much Patrick was in shock, he was speechless for a moment.

His mouth opened after a short silence.

“indeed… . Well sir.”

“I’m so sorry. Patrick.”

“Nope. Rather, I am more sorry. I didn’t even know that, so I brought things I didn’t need and threw them away… . hahahaha… . This is really annoying.”

Patrick stroked the teddy bears.

Is it regret? Is it a pity?

The feeling of loss will be great as the gift he prepared with great care was rejected.

But he still spoke with a smile on his face.

“If you don’t need it, I’ll clean it up right away.”

“… !”

The moment I saw the magic in Patrick’s eyes, I quickly wrapped my arms around Bella.

“Ahh… . You ate really well.”

Luna carefully wiped her mouth with a napkin.

Sia put down her fork in a similarly dignified manner.

It was an action that showed the etiquette of the upper class.

Wendy, who was quietly watching, imitated them and finished the meal.

“To think such a delicious place is closed… .”

With the empty bowl in front of her, Shia muttered in dismay.

Make sure to read from noble mtl com

Did you hear the rumor through the newspaper? The cafeteria was more crowded than ever with students.

Luna, who looked at him with regret, said.

“The chef said it wasn’t extreme, but… . That must be a lie. Perhaps he is in despair.”

“despair… Iyo?”

“Yes. Can you see that face?”

When Wendy turned her head, she saw the muscular chef standing at the food table.

His face as he greeted each of the students seemed at peace with the world.

Seeing that, Luna said with a confident voice.

“Wendy. That’s a look only someone who has lost everything can make.”

“Yes… ?”

“For the chef, this restaurant will be like everything. You can tell just by looking at the food. How much love and passion he poured into this restaurant. But that man destroyed everything.”

“indeed… . That’s what the chairman said.”

Shia, who had been listening to Luna, nodded slowly.

“I also completely agree with Luna-sama. If he is the chairman, he will be enough.”

Sia and Luna immediately started talking.

It was all thanks to the story about Tristan that the two people who had never met each other so easily became friends.

In particular, Sia, who is usually taciturn, became talkative whenever the chairman spoke.

“That man will have no qualms about destroying other people’s lives. He’s a genius of evil that everyone knows. right? Wendy.”

“hehehe… ?! that, that… . That’s right… ?”

But for Wendy, it was an embarrassing situation.

When his relationship with Tristan is discovered, he gets into trouble.

So, she had no choice but to pretend to agree with her master’s critical opinion.

Of course, all the guilt was Wendy’s.

‘Ugh… . I’m sorry… . I’m a count… .’

‘hahahaha… . It’s not that everyone’s saying it’s so wrong, but what about our disciples also swearing together in a cool way?’

Myohail, who became a hairpin, whispered in a whisper.

‘Oh, no. I can’t do that… .’

‘What is it? The Count wouldn’t know anyway.’

‘Ugh… . It’s a matter of my heart… .’

‘Truck. My cute disciple is more stoic than I am at times like this.’

While Wendy was reflecting on herself, Luna spoke to her.

“Come to think of it, what do you think of Mr. Wendy?”
