The Real and Honest Truth

“Viola smiled at me. So cute. She said my name. So happy.”

My mind was completely blank as I stood there with the chattering Little Vio on my arm. If memory served me right, parrots were birds that could mimic human speech. Which meant someone had spoken these exact words in front of her. It was a fairly surreal image. In this mansion, there was only one person who would say these kinds of things.

“Viola gave me a handkerchief. Gonna cry.”

My chest grew tighter and tighter with every word that Little Vio spoke. Why did he even mention that to a parrot? It was obviously a weird thing to do. Though I wasn’t sad, I felt like I wanted to cry. Little Vio continued to speak.

“I really love her.”

At that moment, my heart started to beat faster than it ever had in my life. Something that had only existed in my imagination suddenly became fact. If even Little Vio was a prop, then that’d actually make it easier to accept my loss. Anyone would believe in Lord Phillip if they heard this.

I truly couldn’t understand him. It was absolutely bizarre that the words of a parrot held more weight than Lord Phillip’s when they were his words, and that they were the final piece of evidence that I needed. I finally realized that it was all true.

Lord Phillip really did like me.

With the information I had at the moment, I couldn’t understand why. But he liked me enough to buy a parrot the same color as my hair color and name it after me. Not only that, but he obviously spoke to it quite often about his feelings. That his affection for me was a lie or an act was unlikely at this point.

If all of the confessions he’d said to me were true, then “like” was an understatement. He probably liked me a lot more than I realized. I mean, he said that he’d be willing to die if I told him to.

“Lord Phillip likes me...”

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I could no longer remain calm, nor was I able to come up with a good course of action. My legs felt weak and, with Little Vio still on my arm, I crouched down on the ground. What kind of face was I supposed to make in front of Lord Phillip later? Previously, I’d never actually viewed him as a suitor, and I couldn’t even remember how I used to speak with him.

In any case, I felt like it would be bad if I was discovered here with Little Vio in my arms. Just as I realized that, someone called out to me.

“Viola?” To my shock, the person I wanted to see the least—Lord Phillip himself—had walked right up to me, obvious concern on his face. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling...unwell...?”

He trailed off and hurried toward me. As soon as his eyes saw what was on my right arm, he froze. The worry on his face changed into despair.
