I Became The Childhood Friend of the Obsessive Second Male Lead

Chapter 115

“So, you don’t have to force yourself to do things that you don’t want to do in front of me.”

“. . . If that’s the case, I don’t want you to recommend I eat something I don’t like in the first place. Do you know how hard it was to eat something so sweet in the morning?”

“Who told you to eat it?! You just have to insist on not eating as usual.”

“Look. Is it better for me to be angry with the Princess?”

Rieta was startled by the sound of him laughing.

“Noel, you’re really mean.”

“But the Princess will cry if I’m not mean, so there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Ritea opened her eyes sharply and slapped Noel’s shoulder quickly.

“If you act so mean, I will cry.”

“Then, you want me to treat you like a gentleman, right? Princess.”

Rieta’s face was distorted as if she was really crying at the polite tone that came back.

Noel was startled and quickly waved his hands.

“I won’t, I won’t. Uhh. Princess, are, are you crying? Uhh, that, that’s a joke.”

“. . . I’m not crying. Sniffle.”

Rieta’s false tears nearly became genuine at the thought that this situation was somehow amusing, because of Noel’s bewilderment.

“Okay. I can’t help it. I will make an exception for our troublesome Princess.”

“Exception? What exception?”

“Hey, I’m Noel Mayer, so of course I have to be the perfect gentleman.”

He raised his chin with a slight smirk.

He must have been deeply absorbed in the behavior he had shown in the past few days.

“Everyone is expecting that from me, and I like to live up to it.”

“You keep pretending to be that strange gentleman, don’t you?”

“It’s not just a pretense. My father used to say that there’s nothing wrong with imitation, so if you copy a great posture, one day you will really become like that.”

“Yes . . .”

It seemed the Duke was right, though.

“But the Princess is my friend and your language is a mess.”

He stroked Rieta’s hair.

“I’ll just play with the Princess as Noel, not the gentleman.”

“. . . Really?”

When Rieta asked with her eyes wide open, he chuckled and laughed.

“Really.”

“Well then, are you still going to be gentle with other people?!”

“Yes, of course. I told you so many times.”

Rieta summarized Noel’s words.

Gentleman Noel, just like the male lead, would show himself to other people.

And the real Noel, rude and barbaric Noel, will belong to Rieta alone.

That’s great!

Rieta felt very good, and with both of her arms she grabbed Noel and hugged him tightly.

“Noel, I really like that!”

“Why, why do you like it so much . . .”

Noel, who was embarrassed for nothing, answered bluntly unknowingly, but he didn’t hate Rieta, who was still so happy.

No, rather, her hugging him like this made him feel relieved and happy.

As expected, Rieta can’t live without me.

He smiled with pride.

“By the way, Noel.”

“Huh?”

“I want to ask you something.”

“What? Tell me. I will answer anything today.”

Noel was in a good mood and decided to give a big favor.

“Well, you know . . .”

Rieta did not hesitate, and released the arm that was holding him.

The two of them sat face to face again on the floor, looking at each other.

“Noel, have you ever lied to me?”

“Gasp . . .!”

Noel was startled enough that he crawled away from Rieta.

He wanted to take a bite out of his mouth, which had said ‘I’ll answer anything’ a while ago.

With what confidence did he say that?

But since a promise was a promise, he had to be honest about it.

“There, there is.”

He dropped his head to the floor.

“Huh.”

Then Rieta came up to him and grabbed his face tightly.

The same way that he had grabbed Rieta’s cheek a while ago.

“Ung.”

As their eyes met, it became difficult to speak for some reason, and he turned his gaze to a slightly different direction.

“What is it that makes it so difficult for you to say?”

“I mean, the Princess is going to get hurt. No, you certainly will.”

“Me?”

“Yes.”

“Did you become friends with my father?”

“Are, are you crazy? Why would I exchange letters with the King of Liz!”

“Then what is it?”

“Uhh . . .”

Noel murmured, eventually made up his mind, and began to tell Rieta everything frankly.

That he threw the puzzle himself.

While he was talking, Rieta only nodded her head, listened without much response.

Noel thought it was even scarier.

He’d rather she pinch the cheek she was holding now.

“Umm.”

When his story was over, Rieta let his face free and seemed to ponder something for a moment.

Noel was worried that maybe he had broken Rieta’s heart so badly that she was choosing what to say.

“It . . . didn’t hurt your feelings?”

“Right.”

Rieta smiled a little and shrugged her shoulders.

Although she once said, ‘If Noel threw the puzzle on purpose, I’d be hurt.’ . . .

“It didn’t hurt at all, so I was thinking it was okay.”
