C74
As expected, Bianca got sick again. The dinner with the Blanchefort family also decided to break off for the time being. Gustave, who found out about the situation, agreed to do the same.
As Bianca lay motionless on her bed, Yvonne remained at her side. At first, Yvonne wasn't very talkative, but she did her best for fear that Bianca, who lay motionless, would get bored.
It was because Gaspard, who seemed to have no mouth, and Bianca, who had no energy, were both silent, so if Yvonne kept her mouth shut, the room would soon fill with silence.
"How come you're so sick?" I think the air of the capital is not suitable for the lady.
—The air is the same everywhere, how can it not be adequate?
"Or maybe it's the water that's the problem." The water from our Arno estate is famous for being clear and clean.
Yvonne named the reasons why Bianca was sick. Listening to Yvonne, Bianca felt like an aristocratic woman who was very picky about water and air.
Of course, she wasn't wrong.
Considering the current little resistance, she only wondered how her past self had wandered barefoot from city to city. She can't believe she broke down because she met someone she didn't want to see. Bianca laughed bitterly at her pitiful physical strength.
“Maybe it's because I'm in my room all the time. When we were in our castle, we took long walks.
- That's how it is. It may be that his health has worsened because he has not been moving. Shall we go for a walk after a while?
—Hmm…
Bianca moaned softly. A walk was a very attractive proposition, but she was afraid of running into Jacob or Viscount Huegh if she went out.
I didn't expect to see you yesterday.
Still, he couldn't give up easily. It's been a while since she came to the capital, but the only places she visited Bianca were the reception room, the bedroom, and the Blanchefort family residence. She was curious to see how beautiful the capital's gardens would be, if she continued like this, spring would soon come to an end. Noticing Bianca's hesitation, Yvonne coaxed Bianca some more.
“Still, you'll need energy to watch the tournament. There are four knights in our territory, so how can the lady inspire the morale of the knights?
"Four gentlemen?" Who else will participate besides the three commanders?
"Oh, of course the Count!"
Yvonne, who was frustrated by Bianca's blinking eyes as if she had never expected it, hit her chest. After a while, Bianca's eyes widened as she realized what she had said.
"Is the Count going to participate?" Why? He already has enough honor and glory. It is not necessary for him to do things as dangerous as fair...
"This time I don't agree with the lady!" The earl must be eager to hand over the glory of victory to his wife. Since the Count is an undefeated military commander, winning the joust will be easy. The Earl who defeats all the knights will address the lady and… Oh, I'm already excited.
A look of excitement spread over Yvonne's face. Her eyes sparkled as if she was dreaming. But for Bianca, it was not easy to believe.
Jousting is often said to be a kind of competition that requires skill, spirit, and energy. However, riding a horse at full speed and inserting a spear into someone else's shield was dangerous enough to risk your life. In fact, they often died.
Are you participating in such a dangerous competition? Just because Bianca came? Bianca looked at Gaspard as if to corroborate Ivonne's statement about Zachary's involvement.
Gaspard nodded silently.
Mistaking Bianca's puzzlement for shyness, Yvonne chuckled. Though mature and graceful, Bianca was only a 17-year-old girl.
Bianca should also be pleased on the inside, Yvonne, who was firmly wrong in thinking that she couldn't express it so as not to lose her dignity as a noble, humbly added.
“By the way, a man tends to take pride in looking good to the girl he likes. It is no different for the silent Earl.
"Does the Count like me?"
"Are you serious?"
Yvonne laughed out loud. Bianca's mouth hardened at her avoidance and unanswered.
Zachary, whom Bianca had seen so far, had shown no such sign, but why did Yvonne feel that way?
He really wanted to ask, but he wasn't very dignified. Also, isn't Gaspard here?
