I Became The Childhood Friend of the Obsessive Second Male Lead

l and Alicia to each other.

“Noel,”

Rieta called quietly, but Noel didn’t answer.

He looked completely embarrassed, as if he had been surprised by something.

“Noel, what’s wrong? Do you have a crush on Alicia?”

“D-don’t be ridiculous! What the hell is that!”

Noel was so embarrassed that he forgot to act as a ‘gentleman’ and started pointing fingers.

That is at Rieta’s guest, Alicia.

“He’s a boy!”

Then Rieta nodded, as if saying, ‘of course.’

“Yes, Alicia is a man.
I told you.”

“You didn’t!”

“Is that so?”

“I just told you you didn’t?!”

Noel screamed in a flush.

“Well, I don’t know how you came up with that misunderstanding, but this is Alicia, as I said.”

After a calm introduction, she told Alicia about Noel in the kingdom’s language.

“This is Noel Mayer.
He’s the second son of the Duke and my friend.”

Alicia glanced at Noel.

Noel’s eyes still seemed to be staring at him.
To the point where he began feeling a little discouraged.

“…..”

Alicia looked down from Noel, and soon bowed politely.

It was a great greeting, proper of a gentleman.

Sadly, Noel’s finger-pointing continued in the meantime.

“W-why is your name so p-pretty when you’re a man? You made me misunderstand!”

Rieta quickly interpreted Noel’s words.

“Noel thinks Alicia’s name is pretty.”

“Is that so? The Young Master from the Empire is generous with his praise.
I like my name too.
Thank you, Young Master.”

Rieta again told Noel what Alicia had said.

“Alicia thanked you for praising his name.”

“What? When did I?”

“You just said his name was pretty?”

“I meant who would pick such a name for a man in this world!”

“But Alicia’s grandfather was also named Alicia.
He was a very very brave knight.”

Rieta repeated the same thing to Alicia in the kingdom’s language.

“Yes, I’m proud of my grandfather,” he said, placing his coat on Rieta’s shoulder.

“And please, be careful when you step outside, since winters in the Empire are very cold.
Even for a short time.
Because the Princess gets cold very easily.”

“Ah.”

Rieta touched the warm coat and smiled at Alicia.

“You’re still so sweet, Alicia.”

“It is not a big deal, Princess.”
