Chapter 260

「… This is troubling… I wonder where I made a mistake…」

I looked around my surroundings while complaining mixed with sighs.

… Yeah, no one is here.I seem to be thoroughly and completely lost… ugh.

I must have taken right where I should have taken left in the similar-looking corridors.

If I turn back and make a mistake again, there’s a possibility that I would get lost even more…

The iron rule when lost is not to move… however, just standing here would be a bit…Not moving from the place works only on the premise that someone is searching for you though.

I have no choice but to wait for a maid or someone to pass by…

While restlessly looking around the corridor, a voice called out to me from behind.

「You over there. Why are you in a place like this? … N? You seem unfamiliar?」

… Yay! An adult has come! I have to ask about the way to the hall so I could return quickly!When I turned around, a man was standing in front of me.

Uoooh? … When did he get so close?

That person was a good-looking man with golden-brown shoulder length hair, golden eyes, with a tall stature and clearly, thoroughly tempered body and his expression told me that he was looking at me with a great interest.

Is he perhaps a guard? … He’s not wearing the uniform to be a guard, on the other hand, he also is not wearing celebratory clothes of the nobility… just who is he?

「… I’m a participant of the interaction party. I took a leave for little to put my appearances in order, but I got lost on my way back to the assembly hall. Excuse me, but could you tell me the way back to the…「Suspicious」eh?」「Wha! I’m not someone suspicious! I am…!」

Guukiyururu…

「Buha!」「…! P, pardon me…」

S, so embarrassing…!Ugh, I want to burn with shame…I have been drinking only the fruit water since the breakfast, so my hungry belly…! Read the mood at times like this! My stomach!

What am I supposed to do!?
