Chapter 172

Friend Strangeness

I took a quick detour and I headed where she was .

"Mimosa, I have not seen you in a long time"

" . . . It has been a long time, Iris"

Her greeting was just the usual polite way for close friends .

. . . . . . Just because this place is an official event, neither myself nor mimosa is speaking in a different way than usual .

"Nice to meet you, Ms . Iris"

From the side, a man suddenly interrupted .

Curly black hair, slender eyes, and a fine voice were the characteristics of the man .

Although I seemed to not be able to control my discomfort and made wrinkles between my eyebrows for a moment at his unbridled behavior, I pushed it aside and smiled instead .

The moment the man called out to me, the happy expression started to fall out quietly from the face of Mimosa .

Even the color from her eyes started to fade .

I saw it from the side and my anxiety passed away .

. . . I never saw Mimosa's expression like that .

"I am sorry, but you are . . . . . . ?"

"Oh, did not you hear from Mimosa? I am her fiance, the eldest son of the Earl of Rubelia's house, Dan Von Rubelia . "

While interchanging gestures as a play, he said so .

Since this is an official place, we cannot talk to a boy until that person talks to us . . . . That is to say that he suddenly pointed a spear to me, when he greeted us . . . and everyone in this place is trying to pry information about any possible scandal at any house, so there were a lot of things out of place when he greeted us, he should have followed the procedure . .

But those thoughts blew away at his last words .

. . . . . . Mimosa's, fiance? He is? ! Oh poor Mimosa, this is worse than I have imagined! .

I do not want to say that he is not good as her fiance, that he does not deserve her, but honestly, the first impression was not very good .

"Oh . . . You seem to be the same as Mimosa depicted you, my name is Iris, Lana Almeria, I was with Mimosa during my school days . Thank you for taking care of her"

"Likewise"

"Iris, I am very sorry, I have to go to present my greetings, so I'll be around here . . . "

As if trying to say something Mimosa uttered some words but instantly closed her mouth .

"Oh, yeah . . . That's right, I am sorry I have taken your time . "

As soon as I say that, she turns her back and starts walking away .

Dan was shrugging his shoulders for a moment with a bitter smile, but immediately walked side by side next to her .

If it is the first official event since the engagement is made, the usual procedure is to present their greetings together to the people, especially it has to be the two of them . . . but she seems to have been strangely opposed to it as she abruptly went away .

It's as if she doesn't want to talk to me .

Thinking that far, I leaked a bitter smile .

Is that normal?

If I think about it, she just recently got engaged . But how much importance would it have to talk with him when she is present even though I was her closest friend?

I really do not feel there is anything confidential that I shouldn't be present, and I think that Mimosa 's heart has not accepted this engagement either .

Having said that, I agree that her behavior today was strange .

Everyone will be nervous at the first official event with his / her fiance .

I'm no longer the largest topic of conversation in the kingdom as when I that thing happened with the second prince, I understand if she was nervous and cannot calm down when chatting with other ladies, I was also like that, but . . . this is strange .

Let 's talk to Mimosa when we're alone slowly . . . this time I concluded that this engagement is suspicious, I went to the back of the hall .

When thinking about Mimosa, the flowing music stopped and the royal family appeared from the back .
