Sitting on a bench behind the school building, Julius and I were eating skewers we had bought from a food stand.

I bought it at the store Julius showed me and it was quite tasty.

But he looks apologetic.

“I’m sorry. If I’d had a little more time, I could have grilled it.”

“Don’t try to grill the skewers until lunchtime. So, what’s the talk?”

When I asked him while biting into a skewer, Julius paused for a moment before opening his mouth.

“It’s about Angelica.”

―― When I stop moving, Julius continues with a serious expression on his face.

“I betrayed Angelica once”

“Yes, you did”

We bit into our skewers and we continued talking as we resumed eating.

“When I think about it now, I couldn’t see anything.”

“Even now”

“I can see it more than before. No, maybe I see more now that I’m a third party.” What does he want to say?

Julius cuts out the main subject.

“I understand that it’s a selfish thing to do. But please don’t betray Angelica.”

“Me? In the first place, I never intended to betray――”

“Even if you intend to do that, Angelica is different, right?”

I was going to say something back, but oddly Julius’ words stuck in my mind.

Silently biting into a skewer, Julius tells a story from his past.

“When I broke off my engagement to Angelica, I didn’t mean to betray her. If anything, I felt betrayed.”

“You guys were the worst at that time.”

“I admit it. But what about you now?”

“What do you want to say?”

Julius finishes his skewers and carefully puts away the empty containers.

I don’t throw trash around that area.

“I just didn’t want you to make the same mistake I did. If Angelica feels betrayed by you, she may never recover.”

“I told you that I wasn’t going to betray ―― her”

From the outside, my behavior is a betrayal of Ange. On weekends, I have tea parties with Marie and Erika, and sometimes I write a letter to the queen, Milene-sama.

I don’t mean to betray her. But what Ange thinks of that is another matter.

I looked down and Julius had a subtle, indescribable look on his face.

“And as a friend, let me tell you.”

“What?”

“I won’t ask you to stop hitting on my mother anymore, so please do it without my knowledge if you can. I just don’t know what face to put on as her son.”
