The antagonist?

17. Beyond estimates

"Do you want to play here?" hazel asked after playing archery with Matteo long enough. Camorra even until sleepy waiting for the two friends to play, Hazel looked at the sky this time so hot. "I'm afraid you're bored."

Camorra. "It's this hot, I'm lazy too. How about just go to your room? I want to go to sleep, so sleepy."

Hazel nodded thoughtlessly, Matteo swiftly grabbed Camorra's hand for her to guide because it seemed like her cousin was really sleepy. They went hand in hand, but Hazel turned the other way, making Matteo frown, Camorra, who was drowsy, was conscious.

"This is not the direction to your room" Matteo said despite following Hazel.

The girl with blonde hair turned her head and nodded. "There's a nice, more comfortable place for you to sleep, Morra."

Matteo chose not to ask anymore, as well as Camorra who was lazy and chose to follow the important thing he could sleep. Only after a long hallway did they arrive at a foreign door with flower carvings, Hazel had never brought them here before.

Hazel pulled out the key and opened the door. Camorra blinked a few times, then the net was rounded. Unnerved by the room he had just seen for the first time, Matteo also. One of Hazel's eyebrows shot up looking at Matteo's expression then chuckled. "Let's go in."

The room was one side filled with glass that led directly to the spacious courtyard as well as the flower garden of the Beatrix family. Simple but really looks comfortable, there is even a king size bed. There is a sofa with windows that allows anyone to enjoy the whole day just by staring at the scenery that is so pampering the eyes.

"Hazel, I'm surprised. Tell me later, I'm already very sleepy" said Camorra who immediately fell on the bed. Even his eyes were instantly closed with a smooth snoring that was so comfortable to hear.

Hazel smiled and sat down on the sofa, and there was a small bookshelf nearby. Matteo sat down and Hazel gave him a book. "I know you like to study space, right? I'm specifically looking for this book for you, Matteo. Hope you like it."

Matteo gave his lips nervously, he then turned his gaze to look outside. Hazel followed the man's gaze. "You look so happy today, why? your face looks more diverse if you are happy. The usual emotions you don't show just show up" Hazel said.

Matteo turned his head and looked at Hazel for a long time, she cleared her throat. "I just found out about this room."

"Oh, I'm also just the year after coming home yesterday. He used to be a former room musical instrument, but because the musical instrument has been moved to a new place, this room is left abandoned. So me, Celsa, and Evie decorate this room. It's not grand, but it's convenient to play if you come here again."

"True, comfortable." Matteo lowered his head, in fact he was trying to cover up his nervousness. They often pay attention to each other, but Hazel has never been so outspoken. She doesn't know that little thing if Hazel remembers driving her crazy?

"Other days, may you please help me pick out a few more books in the library for me to keep here? I also became interested in space because last night I accidentally read one of the books, interesting as well" Hazel said.

Unknowingly Matteo's smile expanded, even his cheeks flushed red. Matteo's first natural blush came from the girl he had liked for a long time. Then he nodded in agreement. If at his house, Matteo would have shouted as loud as possible.

"Do you really like books? until I ask for your company to be that happy" said Hazel who then opened one of the books on the various types of flowers. Matteo bit his lip, wrong, Hazel. The truth was that he really liked this girl in front of him.

"Yes, I like it. When do you want to start picking up books from the library?" Matteo asked as he held his smile again.

"Let me tell you again, you're not busy? if being busy is okay, I can do it with Celsa and Evie" Hazel replied again and who would have thought Matteo immediately shook her head to make Hazel jerk in shock.

Matteo who realized immediately confirmed his position again, he then cleared his throat. "I can ... anytime, would you like to take Camorra as well?"

Hazel seems to think, while Matteo inwardly hopes that Camorra will not be invited so that she can be alone with Hazel to spend time choosing books.

"You'll ask Morra if you want to or not, and tell me again. Besides, if Morra had come along, he would have fallen asleep at the table waiting." Hazel laughed.

Hazel turned to Camorra, who was sleeping peacefully, and her position did not change at all from the start. "How about we eat fruit first?"

It is true, this hot weather is the best to eat fruit with a lot of water content. "You'll give it up, Hazel."

He nodded and turned his head towards the door, it turned out that Celsa and Evie had been there since. "Pare the fruit and bring it here." The two nodded and immediately left according to Hazel's orders.

"Oh yeah, Matteo." Matteo, who was about to focus on his book, looked up, waiting for Hazel to continue. "How is your relationship with Miss Elle Elvie V'goner? Sorry presumptuous, I just want to know ...."

While the smile on Matteo suddenly faded, he then closed the newly opened book. "It's okay, you know where Elle came from?"

"From Dad, maybe it's starting to spread, right? you and Miss Elle will be betrothed"

"Oh no, you misunderstood. Maybe because of the closeness of the two of us to make rumors if me and Elle will be betrothed, others add too much. Me and Elle are distant relatives, still having a blood relationship" Matteo explained.

Hazel breathed a sigh of relief because she thought it was a good sign for her to start a plan. If Matteo is right to be betrothed just as he was looking for death, instead of making Alexa retreat, it is precisely he who will be berated. Glio's advice is good, but luckily he's looking into this first or he'll be in even bigger trouble.

"Something seems to be exaggerating" Hazel said later.

Matteo was silent, he seemed to think but his gaze did not turn from Hazel making the girl nervous and confused. "Even if my family wants to make an arranged marriage, I will firmly not accept it because I already have someone I have liked for a long time."

Hazel is surprised, but tries to hide it. "Well, really? I think you're a hard person to fall in love with. Does Morra know? you never told me, did you?" Shit, if this is how he's gonna have to brainwash again, when he tells Keizo that?

"Yes, not yet. I'm still waiting for him to cancel his match even if it seems impossible" Matteo continued.

"If not necessarily the girl likes it, it can still be fought for, why don't you ask first?"

"Hm, how are you? do you like Arzhel?"

The sudden question that made Hazel frown. "Suddenly, actually I still want to try because this is the desire of father and mother. But seeing how Arzhel's treatment I changed my mind, maybe one day I could cancel the match?"

"Hazel, if you're uncomfortable I can help you talk to your uncles and aunts, why wait a moment?"

"Isn't that so, it's possible that Archel will change his mind?"

Matteo bit his lip, and he stood up and Hazel looked up in surprise. "I love you, Hazel."

Hazel flabbergasted. "Matteo"

"Let's marry me."

Geez .. This is beyond her estimation.
