Chapter 84
Visitors
The engagement of me and Mr. Edward has been decided upon with great clap.
But not right away. It is not until after February that the ceremony actually takes place. For once, the people of Shirai don’t know about His Highness Rayford’s Nanjing, and they still think he’s the next heir to the throne. So Mr. Edward will be officially announced as the next king at the Founding Festival, which will take place in February.
And having a wedding with me, after.
In February – I will be Mr. Edward’s wife.
Most importantly, I haven’t talked to Edward about it yet.
They’re going to set up an opportunity to eat soon.
“… Lol, Carol, are you listening?
“Uh… Ah, yes”
“… what’s the matter with you?”
Ha, and shrugging your shoulders in a sigh is Lilia.
They stop by every day on the way home from school, even on days that aren’t closed these days. Sounds like you’re making me worry. I’m sorry.
But it’s okay. Because I’ve already decided I’m ready to marry Mr. Edward.
“Still, you’ve been bored lately since Carol disappeared from school,”
“Really?
“Because Carol’s the only friend I have in the first place, me. Well, there are people who come to me because they’re Marquis’ daughters. It’s basically ignored.”
“Right”
You had such an opponent for me, too.
Instead, it was already rumored to be my case, so maybe you needed it that way. Because even though it is a constitutional monarchy, it does not change the strong power of royalty.
I was busy studying, and I had a friend named Lilia, so I ignored him, too.
“But… Your Highness Edward? It’s strange.”
“What is it?
“You don’t hear bad rumors. Looks like you’ve been good for a long time. If he was the eldest son of the king, a lot of people would have spared a breeze like that.”
“… Really?”
I’ve only seen him twice, so I don’t know who he is.
You mistake me for Master Wilhelm’s grandson. He’s an extremely rude man, that’s all I know.
“Besides, there’s not a single story I’ve ever floated around. The eldest son of His Royal Highness Brother Wang has no place in the dark in a relationship with a woman. Moreover, the Duke of Raul family territory west of Freakista is large and has a reputation for being habitable from its inhabitants. They say the taxes are pretty cheap because the Silver Mountain is in the realm and the financial resources are moisturizing.”
“… Really?”
“Already, on the contrary, it’s so perfect that I doubt it. Well, as far as I’m concerned, it’s Carol’s fringe, so I’m glad they’re good.”
“Thank you, Lilia”
You’re grateful for your care.
That’s how you looked into Mr. Edward, I guess, because you’re worried about me. I feel very sorry for your concern so far.
And most importantly.
Lilia, from that day until today.
Never – I don’t speak Wilhelm’s name.
“Oh, yeah. I found a delicious store the other day and thought I’d like to eat with Carol…”
Unnaturally, a conversation that doesn’t touch on Master Wilhelm.
Me too, maybe I can handle it with a smile on my face. I just really don’t feel like I’m at the bottom of my mind with a dark, precipitated feeling, and I can’t be happy to talk to you.
Will time resolve this feeling someday as well?
“So…”
Lilia’s story turned two or three times, and she just walked into school stupidity.
The door to my room was knocked down.
“Yes?”
“Ma’am, excuse me…… HI!?
“What a rude servant to see people’s faces and scream.”
“Also, sorry!
“I’m sorry, Master Lilia. I’ll make sure you educate me.”
It was Mary and Richard who came in.
It still sounds horrible about Lilia, and I screamed the moment I saw her face. I’m not going to hit you.
Well, what business did you come for?
“What’s wrong?
“Oh, uh, to the lady, a customer…”
“Lilia is here now…”
“Oh, nothing. I’m fine. If it’s enough to wait a minute.”
“Really? So… who’s coming?
If this is the merchant in and out, etc., ask him to change the date.
I didn’t have any particular promises today though.
“Well, that’s… from the Empire, they’re here…”
“From the Empire?
“Yes. Oh, you know, she’s a very beautiful, tall woman.”
“Ha…”
To an imperial woman, I don’t know anyone.
My father seems to go to the Empire a lot as a diplomat, but I’ve never been there.
Is that really a customer against me?
“Didn’t you come to visit your father?
“Yes… no doubt, Master Carol.”
“We have also confirmed our colleagues. I’m definitely visiting your daughter.”
“Really…”
I don’t know what an imperial woman is doing to me.
But Flare Kista is an empire subordinate. If you scorn those who come from the Empire in that, that might even develop into a diplomatic issue.
I don’t think that wanting to see me at least is harmful.
Then it would be polite to welcome you.
“Okay, Lilia. I’m sorry…”
Yeah, I’m talking to Mary.
“So, Mary, Lilia, please.”
“Ha!? Huh!?
“Well, sit down. Shall we talk?”
“Hino!?
I heard Mary moaning behind me. I don’t know what you’re going to talk about, but Lilia sounds happy.
Well, for one thing, I’m a customer. Put Mary down and take Richard’s guide to the reception room.
“Right now, your wife is being dealt with. Don’t be rude…”
“What position are you in?
“That’s what I don’t even know very well…”
Is there such a great man coming? I don’t think anyone is in that position without prior commitment.
Good afternoon and Richard knocked on the door and opened it.
“Excuse me. Ma’am, this way please.”
“Carol, well done for coming. Sit here first.”
Inside was my mother and the other, a long-lasting woman.
She’s a beautiful blonde. But I have a harsh impression at times.
Such a woman looked at me with a sharp eye that stabbed her.
“Excuse me…… nice to meet you”
“Yes…”
“First, sit over there. I’ll talk to you later.”
“Yep…”
Next to my mother, I’ll sit down.
It’s kind of a scary vibe. Like a warrior, if you like. Like being a knight.
But such a woman, first with a soft grin.
You must be Miss Carol Ambrose.
“Yes, I’m Carol Ambrose.”
“Well…… good then. I’m Helena Railnote.”
Helena Railnote.
That’s not a name I’ve heard of in particular. However, I have heard of that last name.
Indeed, the Marquis of Railnote, a nobleman of ancient ginseng even in the Empire. Once, an Imperial nobleman who was cordial with my grandfather, Duke Ridd Amblouse, was supposed to be someone named Rowfal Railnote.
Well, I’ve never even met him.
“I’m not much of a caretaker…… I may be in a hurry, but I’d like you to get me into the requirements”
“Ha…”
“From General Wilhelm Eiblinger, I have deposited a will”
“Huh…”
Unexpectedly, I open my eyes.
I can’t believe that’s such a requirement.
I don’t know about wills.
Dear Wilhelm, why not?
Will you still make me forget about you…
