"Sorry to call you all the way out here. Come on, sit down."
"Father? Even your mother? How can I help you?"
Alicia went to her father's study and was greeted by her parents.
Alicia sat down on the sofa, tilting her head to see if something was wrong.
Her parents sat down on the sofa facing Alicia across the table.
"We've had a lot of trouble in our family lately, but we've had more celebrations than that," Alicia said. It may seem strange to say this, but Viscount Robert has expressed an interest in pursuing a marriage with Alicia. I wanted to confirm your feelings."
"You mean you want me to marry ...... Mr. Jim?"
At least that's what they and Jim, of all people, want."
Viscount Robert's family has known each other for a long time, as their mothers were friends from school.
Jim, the eldest son, was a boy who attended a magic school and was a childhood friend of Alicia.
Jim has been fond of Alicia since she was a child, but Alicia is not very fond of Jim, who is a brusque boy, does not listen to others, and is always talking about himself.
"Jim is graduating from magic school this year. Jim will graduate from magic school this year. He has some time before he becomes the head of the family, so he plans to join the magic army. He would like to take Alicia as his wife. Yes, we will be engaged until he graduates, and then we will be married."
"Jim is not a bad boy. He is a talented wizard and has been devoted to Alicia since he was a little boy. I think it's a good story, and that's why I'm going ahead with it."
"...... I am."
Alicia's voice is dark against her parents' eagerness.
It was no wonder; Jim was not the kind of man she wanted to marry.
She knew he was not a bad man, but they were not compatible.
"Of course, you can say no if you don't want to. After what happened with Liese, I want you guys to have the marriage you want."
"......I don't mean to contradict your opinion, but it would be very difficult for you to marry late because of it."
"I know. I know, but you're not too old to rush. Alicia is only seventeen years old. She's still going to school, and I don't think it's a bad idea to wait until she graduates at least.
"You're just sad that I'm going to marry off my daughter to you."
Hey, hey, don't do that in front of Alicia.
"Oh-ho-ho, excuse me."
Seeing my parents so happy together makes me long for the idea of marriage.
Suddenly, Sam's face flashed in my mind.
Alicia's heart ached again.
"Well, Alicia, what do you think? You may not like gentlemen, but your childhood friend Jim would be different, wouldn't he? We see each other once a month, and I'm sure the boy will understand you."
As a mother, she would have been happy to see Alicia with her friend's son.
With that in mind, it is hard for me to say that I am not a fan of Jim.
Sure, I see him every month, but I have never confided in anyone that that once-a-month day was painful.
I am sure my mother would be disappointed if I told her.
However, Alicia asks herself if she should just let Jim and her marriage proposal go forward.
（I'm sorry, Jim. I'm still...)
I don't think I can live up to my mother's and Jim's expectations.
Alicia takes a deep breath and looks straight at her parents.
（You have to be brave. (You have to say it! You have to say it right!)
If things go on like this, it will hurt Jim.
I don't want a marriage I don't want.
I might not be a daughter of a nobleman, but I was not going to give up the feelings I had in my heart.
"I'm not good at ...... Mr. Jim."
"Alicia?"
I summoned up all my courage and uttered a single word, and the next words came naturally.
"She has never once listened to me, only talking about herself. He is always bragging about himself. I didn't want to listen to him talk on and on. He is not the kind of person who listens to me like you do, Mr. Sam."
"-Alicia, is it possible that you..."
"--"
I held my mouth in panic at having unintentionally mentioned Sam's name, but it was too late.
My parents rolled their eyes and then asked me to confirm it.
Tell us the truth. No one is going to blame you."
"But..."
"Alicia, we can't do anything for you unless you are honest with us.
In response to my parents' words of concern, I summoned up my greatest courage and told them clearly.
"--Yes. I adore you, Mr. Sam.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
