Chapter 53: Graduation 1
I am glad to announce that milady and Mr. Andy are provisional engaged.
The reason why I say “provisional” is because we need to keep His Highness’s order to keep the engagement a secret until the graduation party in order to prevent Princess Emily from interfering with the marriage.
Noblemen can’t marry without His Majesty’s permission, it’s troublesome.
Mr. Joel’s statement that he “see it all through” means that he sees it through as a member of the royal family, and although it’s not official, he’ll take responsibility for any people who complain about it.
More than that, it must have been an honest congratulations from Mr. Joel, who knows how the two of them feel.
I thought he was just a prince with a shadowy, unreadable appearance, but I’ll revise my assessment upward a bit.
“………….. fufu.”
“…………”
The tea party with Mr. Joel is over and milady returns to her room, but her behavior is a little strange.
I thought she was thinking seriously about something, but all of a sudden, her cheeks turned cherry red and she let out a chuckle.
Could it be that your brain is pink? Well, this is a (provisional) engagement with Mr. Andy, whom she has adored since she was a child. This able maid understands that it’s so inevitable that even if I unintentionally bounced her melons, she wouldn’t notice it.
“Letty, that’s a bit ……”
After five minutes of tapping, I was found by Miss Ginko and Miss Fua, who had sneaked over to play with me.
I shouldn’t do this. They seemed to be totally absorbed in what they were doing with me and didn’t notice the knock at the door. As a maid, I can’t blame them for getting a bitter complaint.
‘That’s not what we meant, you know!”
As you may have noticed, the two of them call me “Letty”.
How did they start to call me that?
I’ll tell you how it came to be.
“Sharon also calls me by my first name, but only Kamishiro-san use the last name: ……”
“……… What?”
“You don’t remember?”
That’s how the two of them have decided to call me ‘Letty’.
That’s very helpful, to be honest. For some reason, I don’t know why you call me ‘Kamishiro’, but I understand that’s the name of my past self, but I don’t think it’s me.
I would venture to say that this body is for the new me to enter the old me.
“…… Yes, Ginko, you’ve become Mr. Joel’s [partner].”
I’m not talking about an escort partner, but rather a [partner] like me and milady.
Well, it’s difficult to get a married woman to be the partner of another person, right? Currently, the probability of Miss Ginko, who is a good friend of Mr. Joel, becoming a partner of a jealous noblewoman is low.
If there’s a possibility, it’s Miss Clarice, a saint, but she and the currently hospitalized Miss Ena will be partners with each other as they are both saints.
“It is an exception to the rule to have more than one partner like His Highness Joel.”
“…… I also became His Highness Joel’s partner.”
“huh”
“….. That’s it?”
Miss Fua seems unhappy that her bomb announcement was a dud.
I cut up the blueberry rare cheesecake I brought from the kitchen and began to speak as I put it on the plate.
”Two beautiful girls in a harem is a favorite of His Highness Joel, isn’t it?”
“What do you mean by that?”
As expected of milady, you came to your senses as soon as you finished the cake. For now, let’s revise Mr. Joel’s assessment downward.
The “Congratulations on your engagement, Miss Sharon,” girls’ party finished when milady noticed that the honey doughnuts, caramel waffles, and dried fruit cake that she had have disappeared.
…… I’ll have to go to the merchant’s store again to buy the white sugar and unsalted butter.

Time has passed, and now the day of the graduation party is finally upon us.
”Milady, you look great, you look beautiful.”
“Oh, thanks, Letty.”
Milady is really cute, blushing, and embarrassed by the compliment.
I got serious about this dress. My carefully selected spider silk, concocted with magic, will protect milady from a direct hit from a missile launcher, while the texture and luster exceed silk by several levels.
“Even then ……, does Letty really don’t need to be in a dress?”
“Of course, milady.”
Milady’s face is clouded by my unchanged maid outfit. But I’m not worried about it.
“This time the maid’s uniform is different. The skirt is lined with silk lace and embroidered with an ascending dragon and a fierce tiger.”
“All right, just pull your skirt back down!”
I was about to roll up my skirt and describe my buttocks when I received a slippery tweak from milady who had turned bright red.
There is still time, but I can’t take it easy.
The higher-ups are admitted later for the graduation party, so milady, the daughter of the Marquise, will be in front of Clarice and Mr. Joel, who will be escorted by His Royal Highness the Dauphin.
“Then let’s go, milady.”
“Uh-huh.”
“Miss Clarice, is this a good time?”
“Yes, of course. Thank you.”
The royal palace maidservants prepare my surroundings in a flowing manner.
As expected of the royal palace maidservants, they are different from the maidservants of my parents’ family, the Viscount’s family.
When I only glanced at them, the young maidservant I had brought with me from my parents’ house was shivering in a small corner of the wall so as not to disturb them.
Well, it couldn’t be helped. That girl was originally from a small merchant family. Just going up to the royal palace made her so nervous that she felt like she was going to die.
…… Should I return her to her parents’ home soon?
Right now, I’m at the royal palace.
Normally, students are supposed to leave from the dormitory of the academy, and so is Mr. Joel, the second prince, but I’m leaving from the castle at the behest of His Royal Highness Yuri, the Crown Prince, who is escorting me.
We’re the last to enter, so I don’t mind if we’re late.
But thank goodness. The dresses and decorations were prepared by Mr. Yuri, but ten maidservants couldn’t move in such a small dormitory.
…… Finally, finally, today is the day my dream comes true. It’s all over. …… No, it’s just beginning.
I’ve worked hard even though I was reborn in this inconvenient world for this day.
Today is the end of the events that the goddess prepared for us.
When we attacked The Duchess, she has already become the old nobleman’s second wife without waiting for the event, but there’s no problem even without the last event here.
Instead, a girl named Ginko, who was forcibly chosen as the heroine, and Princess Emily and Sharon will cause the last event.
I don’t feel sorry for Emily, but I feel sorry for Sharon. It’s a pity because we got to know each other a little better.
I don’t think that Fleurety will standstill, but it will be interesting to see what happens.
I’ve always tried not to be hostile to those two, so I don’t think any harm will come to me.
“Clarice, His Highness Yuri is here.”
“Yeah, come on in…”
“There you are, Clarice.”
Before I could permit him to enter, Yuri opened the door and walked in.
A really pushy person ……. It’s too bad you have a face that’s to my liking. Oh well, fine. ……
“Your Highness Yuri, nice to meet you today.”
“Hmm. It looks good on you. Then you won’t have any problems being with me. Let’s go, Clarice.”
…… Well, okay. Use that strength and forcefulness for me.
Because at the end of the day, …… I will be the brightest star.
