"I don't think there's anything wrong with having feelings for someone."
"Hmmm. She already has a fiancée. I don't dare to come between them - and besides..."
Alicia's smile turns dark.
As Sam wonders what is going on, she utters a startling statement.
"There is a man who wants to marry me.
"...... Congratulations, you don't look ...... like a ......."
One look at Alicia's unhappy face and one could tell that her courtship was not a pleasant one.
"Yes, I know. The man is a childhood friend of mine, but he is ...... not my favorite person."
"I guess you have a problem with men even if you've known them since childhood."
"No, it's not because he is a man, but because he is a ...... Oh, don't get me wrong. He is not a bad person. But..."
But?"
"He won't listen to me."
Sam looked confused, not understanding what Alicia was trying to say.
"What do you mean she won't listen to me?"
"Well, yes. He is always talking about himself and never listens to me.
"Oh, yeah, like that."
"It's as if he's not interested in me. I met him the other day, but he only talked about his own recent activities and did not ask me about mine."
"You are a very selfish man, aren't you?"
Alicia neither confirmed nor denied Sam's statement.
She simply spun her words in a lonely manner.
"I think that if we are going to get married, we should talk about it properly. I want to take the time to get to know my partner and to get to know myself, as well as our personalities and our conversations. Otherwise, I am afraid that it will be a sad marriage.
"I understand your feelings."
It is unflattering to marry with insecurity.
As a nobleman, as a daughter of a countess, you cannot escape from a marriage proposal, but if you have the freedom to choose, you should decide whether you are compatible with the person you are marrying.
Of course we do not want Alicia to be unhappy, but we do not want her partner to have an unhappy marriage either.
(But there are people who talk about themselves too much sometimes...)
There are people, men and women, who sometimes want to talk only about themselves, without malicious intent.
It is not that they are not interested in others, but there are people who put themselves first, unfortunately.
(I don't know if they are egotistical or not, but judging from Lady Alicia's reaction, things are not going very well for her.)
We've known each other since childhood.
It is unthinkable that he was so nervous in front of the person he was in love with that he spoke without thinking.
If so, he may be the kind of person who only talks about what he wants to talk about.
(I guess he and Alicia are not a good match.)
For all her boldness, Alicia is at heart a reserved person.
I understand why she does not feel at ease unless we have a proper conversation and get to know each other, as she has revealed to me.
I don't think we understand each other because we have known each other since childhood.
At least, Alicia does not think so.
A childhood friend and a marriage partner are two different things.
"I am glad that Sam listens to me so well. The same goes for the little dragons. Is it selfish of me to want to be with someone with whom I can have a pleasant and natural conversation?"
"That's not true. I talk with Liese-sama every day, too, and I would miss her if we suddenly couldn't talk.
"Yes, of course. --Good. I've never told a man so much about myself.
I'd be happy to talk to you anytime if you'd like."
"Well, ...... is that okay?"
"Of course. You listened to my problems earlier, too. It's mutual. Besides, you're family, so don't hesitate to talk to me as if you were talking to my brother.
I don't mind talking to Alicia. In fact, I like it.
Besides, since I am marrying Liese, Alicia and I will be a real family.
I want to listen to her problems and it is normal for us to talk about other things as a family.
I would also be happy if she gets used to men through talking to me.
"Yes. Yes. Please listen to my story over a cup of tea this time. Oh, yes. I've found some stories with dragons that you asked me to read the other day.
"Thank you! I've been wanting to read it!"
"Hmmm, I can assure you it will be interesting."
I'm looking forward to it."
Sam often borrowed books from Alicia.
Alicia, a voracious reader, used to frequent the library of the mansion and is still adding to her library.
We look forward to her recommendations as they are all interesting.
"Kyu-kyu!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my hand stopped."
"I'm sorry. Let's get you cleaned up."
The foam-covered baby dragon squealed in protest when the brush stopped, so Sam and the others concentrated on washing the baby dragon.
They finished washing off all the dirt and foam with hot water.
"Okay. Let's go back to our room."
"squeak squeak"
Hmm?"
"Excuse me, Mr. Sam. They want to take a bath.
"...... didn't I just wash you?"
"He doesn't like it if he doesn't soak in hot water."
Sam let out a laugh at the children's request.
"I guess they've gotten used to human life by now."
I wondered for a moment if I would be able to return to nature with the burning dragon.
"Kyuuurrrr!"
"What's wrong?"
One of the baby dinosaurs was biting Sam's arm sweetly and seemed to be complaining about something.
However, Sam does not know what the dragon cub is trying to say.
He can understand that the little dragon cub is trying to be sweet to Sam, but he cannot understand what the little dragon cub is trying to say.
Alicia, with a puzzled look on her face, asked Sam to translate for her.
"She wants to take a bath with Mr. Sam," she said.
"Okay, okay. Here, don't pull my arm. I'll take a bath with her. Can I leave that one to you, Alicia?
"Of course!"
While I was replying to Alicia, the dragon cub was pulling me to go to the bath as soon as possible.
The reaction of the little dragon was so cute that I couldn't help but to look at it with the corners of my eyes drooping.
Sam petted the other children while being pulled by the dragon cubs, and then headed for the bathroom.
After seeing Sam off, Alicia smiles at the rest of the litter.
"Come on, let's go take a bath too.
"Squeal!"
"Squeal!"
Alicia looks forlorn for a moment as she and her dragon cub head inside the house.
"...... Hmmm. Sam is really very kind, isn't he? I'm very jealous of your sister Lise."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
