[Episode 10] – We hope we become close (3)

The Marquis of Lorenzo.

According to the game story, she was the ‘godmother’ of the first queen in the past, and before the first queen ascended to her queen’s place, she was simply the queen’s ‘guardian’ who was in charge of her education since she was a noble lady. .

And, she was currently one of the NPCs in charge of the princess’s ‘educator’.

During her upbringing of the princess, if she had the Marquis of Lorenzo in charge as the princess’ educator, she would be able to get a fairly high ‘knowledge’ ability in the beginning.

With the unprecedented performance of giving 1.5 Times more than the ‘knowledge’ ability given by other educators, I naturally fell for that performance at first and entrusted the education of the princess to the Marquis Lorenzo.

If there was a downside, the princess was under a lot of stress due to class, but even considering her princess’s stress, her performance as the Marquis of Lorenzo looked quite attractive.

At the time, she was in a pretty good mood.

It was enough to feel the pleasure of seeing the princess, who keeps dying because of her witch, overwhelmingly clearing her story with her abilities, which had improved after receiving the education of her marquise’s wife.

So, naturally, the princess’s ‘knowledge’ abilities were left entirely to the Marquis of Lorenzo. She obviously expected to see a happy ending this time, but…

I had no way of knowing at the time.

The fact that the Marquis of Lorenzo was actually a trap NPC.

The fact that if her princess gets involved with her for a long time, she is headed straight for a ‘bad ending’.

At the time I didn’t know.

“What is the first queen’s dog doing here?”

I tilted her head to the side and looked at the marquise with her eyes down. The point of this posture is to never lower her head down. If you fold your arms here, the icing on the cake.

Looking down at an opponent by rolling one’s eyes without being mean.

This was Vivian’s basic posture when looking at her opponent.

As if she didn’t like my attitude, the Marquis glared at me with her eyes narrowed. So what am I going to do? Her smile in her own way provoked her even more.

The reason I was hostile to the Marquis of Lorenzo was simple.

Because the princess is being educated by the Marquis.

I know very well what she goes through if she stays with her for a long time. So, in order to get the princess out of her side somehow, he had no choice but to be hostile to the marquis.

Perhaps tired of fighting with me, the Marquis sighed and turned her head to look down at her princess. The princess was taken aback by the gaze, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

“As Her Highness the Queen knows, I have been entrusted with the princess’ ‘education’ by Her Majesty’s orders. It’s time to start class soon, so I’m just here to see the princess.”

The Marquis used polite honorifics for me, but her manner of speaking and behavior seemed like nothing more to say. I turned my head and looked at the princess.

Obviously, the princess…

“I heard the princess isn’t in class yet?”

“…Where is the set time for study? A princess should become a great person in the future, and the more time she spends studying, the better.”

“Isn’t that the class time you set? Then, will you keep the time?”

“Adjusting the time according to the class is natural. Wasn’t Her Highness the Queen often like this when she was young?”

…You’re trying not to say a word?

For some reason, it seemed as if the words of the Marquis were being interpreted. So now it was clear that the Marquise was saying something like, ‘Wasn’t she uneducated when she was young?’

Is this an elegant quarrel between nobles?

I crossed my arms for a while and slapped my forearms with my fingers, thinking about it. What to do with the Marquis? No matter how much I was the second queen, I couldn’t disobey the king’s order.

In other words, there is nothing I can do about the Marquis, who has been in charge of education under Her Majesty’s orders. Even if I tell her to stop, His Majesty’s orders will take precedence for the Marquis…

‘…Just, like Vivian’s personality, flip everything over?’

…If I mess with the marquise here, it won’t matter. In the eyes of everyone, they’d think, ‘Vivian did Vivian,’ as if it’s no big deal.

But…

I lowered my head and looked at the princess and Ellie. The princess was busy moving her head left and right, confused between the marquis and me.

‘I’m just starting to get rid of Vivian’s notoriety, and I don’t want to increase her notoriety by doing Vivien stuff again.’

Ha ha.

I could only sigh in the frustrating situation. If the king hadn’t been confined, I could have met him somehow and asked that the marquise be removed from her education.

But now the king is unemployed in the corner of the room…

The only thing I could do in the current situation was to step back and plan for the future. However, it was quite irritating to just walk away like this.

So-

“Princess.”

“Yes, yes..?”

I looked at the princess and asked with a smile.

“You decide. Do you want to play with me and Ellie before class, or do you want to go to class as it is? I’m sure the Marquis will also respect the princess’s choice.”

“Yes?”

“What? The Marquis of Lorenzo? Could it be that you were thinking of forcibly dragging the princess to class? Without asking the princess’s opinion?”

“I, I am the princess’s education officer..! Therefore-“

“So, since you are in charge of education, will you ignore the princess’s opinion?”

The marquise looked up at me as if she were dumbfounded.

So what? What can you do here

No matter how much the marquise’s wife is in charge of education for the princess, this is a thoroughly hierarchical society. This is a society where even the old marquis cannot ignore the opinion of a young princess.

When things didn’t go as planned, the Marquis’ white face turned red, and she let out a sigh and looked at the princess with a friendly expression.

“Yes, I always respect your opinion.”

“That is the natural thing to do as a servant.”

As soon as I finished those words, I felt the marquise’s fiery gaze, but I didn’t care and looked down at the princess. The princess narrowed her eyes as if she was dumbfounded by the current situation.

“Princess.”

“Princess.”

The Marquis and I called the princess at the same time. The princess’ eyes shook as if an earthquake had struck. Like, I don’t know what to do.

However, we did not have time to wait for the princess’ judgment. The Marquis and I stood on either side of the princess, squatting down as if calling a puppy, arms wide open.

“Come this way! Princess!”

“No! Come over here! Princess!”

*

As far as results go, I was the loser.

Is it because I haven’t met the princess yet? The princess wandered around as if in agony, and eventually grabbed the hand of the marquise’s wife. It was unfortunate, but it must have been unavoidable.

I returned to my room and rolled over on the bed to soothe this mixed feeling. I went out for a walk because I wanted to feel refreshed, but in the end I came back with a bad feeling.

“Haa-“

-Stop chilling out, can’t you help it? In the first place, Vivian didn’t get along well with the princess either. Every time Vivian meets the princess, he swears at him…

From noble mtl dot com

“…Yes. It must be unavoidable. In the first place, it is as if I met the princess for the first time today.”

I lay still and thought again, but I couldn’t help but feel annoyed. I couldn’t do anything other than kick the futon with my foot to cheer myself up.

“Whoop, whoop-“

-The nature is…

It was irritating, but there were still things to learn from this incident. First of all, the words of the Marquis of Lorenzo, who became ‘in charge of the education of the princess by Her Majesty’s order’. The moment I heard that, I knew for sure.

‘Ah, the ‘King’ must not be a ‘possessor’ like me.’

Honestly, the part I was most worried about after possessing Vivian’s body was when the ‘king’ was possessed like me. Yes, I thought that I might have secluded myself to escape from reality after being possessed.

However, any user who had played the game at all would never have made the trap NPC, Marquis Lorenzo, the princess’s educator.

If you see the ending and appoint the Marquis as the person in charge of education, that’s not a person. So it was clear that the king would never be a possessor.

If the king had been possessed like me in the first place, he would have thoroughly kicked out or killed ‘Vivian’ first. Still, he was not sure until now, but the words of the Marquis Lorenzo had convinced him.

Then why the hell did the king live in seclusion? You said you didn’t know why Bangshow, Ainsel, and the king lived in seclusion…? Maybe something happened to the king and the first queen?

For some reason, the first queen doesn’t seem to be active, so in the first place, she wonders if the first queen is alive? However, Ainsel said that the ceremony was held for ‘Vivian to exchange her body with the first queen’…

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with an answer. Neither Vinshaw, nor Ainsel, nor Ellie, her maid, told me anything about the first queen. Because I kept avoiding the story.

“…Ainsell.”

– Yes?

…So, leaving behind what you may not know, the most important thing right now is none other than the ‘princess’. The problem was how to expel the ‘Mrs.

What can I do for the princess now?

“Tell me everything you know about the princess.”

-Yes, yes? Suddenly?

“Even small things are fine. I don’t know what she likes, what she doesn’t like, how old she is, and I don’t even know the name of the princess in the first place.”

After getting as close to the princess as possible, there seemed to be no other way than to keep the marquise in check. It was best for me to stop the Marquise’s dirty stupidity.

-Uh… You must ask me about the princess? I-I don’t know…

“..? I heard you’ve been in the castle for a long time…? Then, don’t you know the age and name of the princess?”

-That, but… Ah! How about asking Ellie?

“..? Ainsel, don’t avoid my eyes.”

Aincel, who kept avoiding my eyes whenever I talked about the princess, was suspicious.

Now that I think about it, Ainsel called the princess a little special. The king and queen are called the same subject, but the word ‘nim’ is added to say that the princess is a princess.

As he moved closer to the mirror and met her gaze, Ainsel’s eyes began to swing in all directions around her. This was clearly the reaction of someone hiding something.

“You are hiding something from me about the princess.”

-Uh, that, I mean.

“Tell me quickly, before you put fingerprints on the mirror and don’t wipe it off.”

-Oh, that, don’t do that! Dirty real!

As I put my finger on the mirror, Ainsel screamed at her in fright. She then lowered her head as if pondering for a moment, then sighed and looked at me.

-I can’t tell you everything, but I’ll tell you about the princess’ personal information.

“…Would you like to taste your fingerprints?”

– Ah!! No-!! I can’t help but say nothing! If you ask other fairies about this, will it be the same?! Because this is like our ‘tribal’ trait!!

“..? Okay?”

I can’t help it if you say that.

I don’t know, but I also saw something in the game, so I didn’t ask further. Maybe it’s about the princess being able to see the ‘fairy’?

Because even the seven dwarfs are ‘fairies’ in the first place.

It was only natural that the princess could see the fairies.

-…Anyway, don’t get angry like you did in front of the Marquis earlier. First of all, the princess is 6 years old. It’s his birthday soon, he’ll be 7 years old.

“? Wait, why do you think I’m angry?”

-And the name of the princess…

*

A corner room used in the princess’ class.

The moment she entered the place, the face of the Marquis Lorenzo turned pitch-black. As if the mask she had worn so far had been taken off, the princess’s expression changed in an instant, and the princess swallowed dryly and was nervous.

The door closed, and the Marquis turned around and squeezed the princess’ shoulders.

“Why were you with Her Highness, the Second Queen?”

“That, that… I was sleeping under the tree…”

Kwak- As if wringing out a rag, the Marquis twisted the princess’ forearm. The princess tried to scream in pain, but she restrained herself by chewing her lower lip.

“Why do you keep doing such vulgar things? Didn’t you just take candy from the maids the other day, did you sleep under a tree this time? Why don’t you know your worth?”

“Uh, hehehe..!”

“Your mother, Her Highness the Queen, has never done anything so vulgar in her entire life! Why are you!!”

For the princess, this level of pain was bearable.

However, the words that came out of the mouth of the Marquis, her erm, caused her pain as if she had stabbed her breasts with her knife, and she could not bear it any longer.

“Since the princess is like this, her majesty must not have given her a name either.”

Tears welled up in her big eyes, and then they silently ran down her cheeks.

Dude. Pop.
