Chapter 50: Princess
“Okay, okay, Letty, try to stay calm.”
“Very well, Milady”
Milady is as lovely as ever, isn’t she? I’d like to dress her up in a cute, erotic costume, but I can’t do that right now, so I’ll have to bite down so hard that my back teeth will shatter.
“…… Letty, where does it hurt?”
“I beg your pardon. Milady is so lovely, it looks like I am bleeding.”
“How did that happen?”
It is good to see that milady is relieved of her nerves.
As for what milady and I are doing, we have received a call from the First Princess, Miss Emily.
Even though the graduation party is less than two months away, the second prince, Mr. Joel, has yet to announce his partner to escort him.
There are five potential fiancées including milady, but two of them are older women who graduated from the academy, and since noblewomen should marry before the age of twenty, they have refused to do so because they think it’s too late.
Miss Emily said that she was worried that her brother Joel might not understand how women feel, so she asked him to invite each of the prospective fiancés at the school to listen to their feelings.
I’ve been gathering a lot of information about Miss Emily, but I was surprised that she came to contact us earlier.
”Miss Sharon, you are welcome.”
Miss Emily’s attendant, a palace maid in her late twenties, invites milady at the door with a bland smile.
Miss Emily is thirteen years old. Although she is a third-year student at the academy, she is not in the same girls’ dormitory as milady, but in a special wing used by the sons and daughters of royalty and dukes.
“I have brought sweets. Please bring them in.”
“Very well. Thank you.”
The maidservants and I communicate with each other and I give them the sweets we brought. If the maidservants don’t test for poison, they won’t be served to the princess.
Well, it would be easy to make a poison that would start after half a month, but I didn’t use any. Instead, I stealthily handed another package to the maid, and she also stealthily held out a piece of paper that looked like a note to me.
“Alright”
“Yes, miss.”
And as if nothing had happened, the maidservant and I discussed the role of the tea party.
What I gave them was an anti-aging candy.
As a process of searching for information, I cajoled the maidservants with drugs and sweetness and asked them to give me information about Miss Emily.
“I’m not going to give you any information that would be a danger for the royal family, but …… ho ho ho ho ho ho.”
According to the memo, the two older potential fiancées have withdrawn because of pressure from Miss Emily, this Brocon.
The remaining three candidates, excluding milady, have already been pressured by Miss Emily, and I was warned to be careful this time as the pressure might come on milady.
Well, it’s because I let the information out for Miss Emily to make a move.
“Oh, it’s been a long time, Miss Emily.”
“It’s been a while. You don’t have to be so nervous, Sharon. We used to play together when we were little, didn’t we?”
The tea party had begun. Milady who is a senior aristocrat close in age to Miss Emily seems to have been Miss Emily’s playmate.
With lustrous golden hair and clear blue eyes, Miss Emily looks like a princess in a picture book, just like Mr. Joel.
“…… This is delicious.”
“Yes, Letty made the pastries.”
“Wow, …… you’re Fleurety?”
“I’m Lady Sharon’s maid, Fleurety.”
Miss Emily puts the cutlery on the plate and gazes at me as she greets me with a ………
”I’ve heard rumors. You certainly seem to have a good enough look for my brothers to be interested in.”
“That’s very kind of you, miss.”
After a short time of drinking tea and carrying on a conversation that was uneventful – and unimportant, Miss Emily got down to business.
“Sharon, I’ve heard about you from your teachers and others. That your grades aren’t very good, that you have a strong manner, and that you are avoided by the underclassmen.”
“Eh ……”
Milady opens her mouth with a pop at Miss Emily’s words. As expected, if you interrupt her sweets she’ll be angry.
Her grades are poor because she is not good at arithmetic. After all, she is too rich and deficient. I tried, but there is nothing I can do about it because it is the “law of the land”. But I never thought it would be that cute to see milady with tears in her eyes when she is trying to study.
The reason why milady is being avoided is that her words are too stuck-up, but lately, more and more underclassmen are staring at her with longing eyes.
“You are not fit to be my brother Joel’s first wife. But that would be unfair to your family, so I would like to recommend you as Brother Yuri’s third wife. You and your maid go to Brother Yuri’s place.”
“I’m with His Highness Yuri?”
Speaking of which, His Royal Highness Mr. Yuri, the Crown Prince, once said that he wanted milady and me or something like that.
But even though Miss Emily loved her brother, it was limited to Mr. Joel.
Whether it’s Mr. Joel or Mr. Yuri, from my point of view, it doesn’t seem to make much difference, but for milady, Mr. Yuri’s ability-based and cold-hearted side must be hard to bear. The palace maids and attendants also look at milady with pity.
When milady’s eyes are blackened by the suddenness of the situation, Miss Emily, who had said it coldly, smiles unpleasantly.
“But there are still things I want Sharon to do. Do you know about the flies that have been flying around Brother Joel lately? I believe it’s …… Ginko or something.”
“What, …… Ginko what?”
“You feel the same way about Ginko, don’t you? It’s because a bug that just popped up is about to take my brother. If you want to cooperate with me, well, ……, I’d be happy to admit that you’re a member of my brother Joel’s side of the family.”
“……………”
For milady who is Miss Ginko’s friend, there is no way she would be complicit in a scheme that would not be good for Miss Ginko, even if she didn’t hear all about it.
However, as a nobleman, you can’t go against the royal family. Whether you take pride in being a nobleman or friendship, the moment milady is about to open her mouth with anger on her face, I tap milady on the shoulder to stop her words.
“Very well, Lady Emily. After discussing it with milady, I will be happy to help you.”
“Letty?”
“Oh, you do that? Yes, ……, that sounds better than Sharon. Good. You will cooperate with me wholeheartedly.”
“Yes, Lady Emily?”
I smiled with a radiant face and grinned at Miss Emily with a satisfied grin.
I then said …… later after discussing with milady to see how much we could cooperate, and milady and I left Miss Emily’s room.
We walked out of the special wing and walked down the corridor for a while, and when the street was empty, milady turned around with an angry look on her face.
”Letty! What are you doing? You, Ginko”
“No problem. No problem.”
“What ……?”
“It’s difficult for milady to disobey Lady Emily’s orders, isn’t it? I’ll talk to Miss Ginko on my end, so you don’t need to worry. Just worry about only your own happiness.”
“Letty ……”
It’s just as planned (prick face)
The bad rumors about milady, Miss Ginko, and the lie that she and milady are not on good terms with each other are all information that I deliberately passed on to the handmaidens.
According to the oracle Miss Ginko received from the Goddess, milady, and Miss Emily will be involved as the villainous daughters, so I am sorry to Miss Emily, but she will have to work properly as a villain.
According to the oracle, this is the “Biggest Event”, so isn’t this a great stage to lure the Goddess out?
