Act Gracefully As A Villainous Lady

The first time Roberto saw her was at a Miyagi dinner party in a neighboring country.

Lady Chancellor of the Kingdom of Clodeer, neighbouring country that is an ally - Merriarose Maxwell.

It was not only Roberto but everyone was impressed by the way she wore her gorgeous looks, soft waist and perfect lady behavior while still being an old girl who had not made her debut in the social world.

Chancellor Sensei, also known as the "Great Black Pillar of the Kingdom" in the sense that if he were gone, the palace would collapse - Duke Maxwell's beloved daughter seemed like a well done lady, who must be rumored to be "the country's best courtier".

"I will see you first, Your Highness Roberto. My name is Mary Rose from the Duke of Maxwell's house."

That's what I said and let her gracefully thank you for, she was a young but as if she were a princess in public.

"Girl like a doll" - that's the first impression Roberto had of her.

Such is she, apparently, the first prince here in the Kingdom of Clodeer - Ulysses' candidate number one for the Queen.

"Oh, I see."

"Seems like you... don't you have any other thoughts"

The next day, Ulysses will guide you through the castle.

Trying to tease him a little, Roberto whispered to Ulysses to make sure his squire didn't hear him, waving about Merriah Rose.

But Ulysses answered that with a cool face, without lighting or haste, as if talking about tomorrow's weather.

Roberto was also frightened by this.

"Don't you have a human heart?"

"Roberto, you're so rude."

"We're talking about your future queen, aren't we? Show some more interest."

"Interested, or... Even if they say so, it's not a matter for me to decide alone."

What an irresponsible way to put it, but neither Roberto knew how he felt.

Prince Wang's Queen is the wife of Prince Wang himself, as well as the future queen - in a sense, the face of his country.

No matter how much royalty you say, not everyone can choose who they want.

"What, are you dissatisfied with Miss Merriah Rose?

"No way, I don't think there's anyone better qualified than her. If I stay put, Merriam Rose will be my queen."

From the words of Ulysses that told me so, I didn't feel at least a hot love affair for Melia Rose or anything.

But maybe that's not impossible either.

Meliá Rose is a beautiful, perfectly noble lady with no complaining base.

However... I definitely got the impression that it was like a beautifully decorated doll, like a galangal dong.

As a queen, I would be impeccable, but as someone to live with... from Roberto, I feel a little short.

When he pouted and said so, Ulysses looked at him as if surprised.

"I see, does it look that way? Right, right..."

As I was somewhat convinced, yeah. To Ulysses, who nodded alone, Roberto tilted his neck.

Ulysses then turned his grin to Roberto.

"I was wondering if you guys could wait here. I need to show Roberto something."

I'll tell the squire I refrained. No, Ulysses walks straight out with Stasta when he signals to come to Roberto.

Roberto had no choice but to follow.

The squire is waiting at an earlier location, as Ulysses told him.

How much, though in the castle, can I allow Prince Wang to act alone?

With that question in his mouth, Ulysses replied with a frank grin, as usual.

"If I laugh and ask, most people in the castle will listen."

I didn't see anything slightly black behind that smile. But Roberto pretended not to see it.

◇ ◇ ◇

Trying to avoid the eyes, Ulysses goes inside the royal castle in a way he knows on his own.

And I stopped in front of a certain room without anything unusual.

"This is probably the time..."

Whimpering somewhat, Ulysses calls out to nearby guards.

The guard opened the door of the room with a tranced look, how happy he was to be asked to do every favor for the prince.

"Roberto and I need to talk for a minute. Can you keep an eye on the door?

"Ha! Let's swear on this life we won't let one ant through!!

Roberto shrugged, exaggerating on the lookout, but Ulysses walked into the room with no particular concern.

... are they always like this?

Roberto was a little uneasy about the future of this country.

"Keep your voice down. Because you might be noticed."

"So what the hell?

Ulysses laughs with a rare, pranky look at Roberto, who lowly questioned him so.

And I called Roberto from the room to the balcony that connects him.

"Come on. Because you can see interesting things."

That's what I call it. To Ulysses, Roberto moves on with half-heartedness.

What the hell is this, "funny stuff" the prince doesn't know what he's thinking...... and stepped onto the balcony and Roberto quickly realized.

"Yikes! This kid licked my hand!!

To his familiar voice, Roberto gently peered down from the balcony.

Between the building and the building, you can see the corner of the small courtyard.

There was a girl and a samurai-like woman, and a woman who seemed to work in the castle, surrounded by a small basket - a few kittens in it - making noise that something had to be done.

- Your voice now, Miss MerriaRose...?

Roberto was honestly surprised.

Mary Rose, ahead of Roberto's gaze, is reddishing her cheeks and speaking to the kitten with sparkling eyes.

When I greeted you earlier, it was very different from what it looked like as a doll.

"Hehe, the ladies seem to like you by the kittens"

"Why don't you put it on your knees, Master Merriah Rose"

"I hope you're okay..."

With such a gesture as roughness, Merriah Rose lifts the kitten out of the basket and gently puts it on her knees.

She was sitting on the lawn, not tired of her first-class dress getting dirty.

"All right, good boy..."

Looks like she's cute and she can't wait, and Melia Rose is stroking her kitten on her lap.

Ulysses was giggling at Roberto, distracted by the sight.

"I recently had a baby at the head of the rat trap in the castle kitchen. This is how Meliá Rose sneaks in to see me every time she comes to the castle."

"... I see"

I'm sure this is the original Merriam Rose.

Roberto looked at only one side of her and reflected on what he thought was a girl like Gallandong.

When he glanced at Ulysses right beside him, he watched Merriam Rose playing with the kitten with his loving eyes.

"Ulysses, don't you have a voice?

"Hmmm... I don't know, I don't like Melia Rose... but she seems a little wary"

"Alert?"

"In front of me, Meliá Rose always seems to be concerned. I'm enjoying myself, but I don't want to give you water."

Roberto conceives to Ulysses, who said so and shook his neck loosely beside him.

There seems to be a delicate gulf between the prince of this country and the future queen (candidate).

Perhaps Mary Rose, who tries to behave perfectly in the public sphere, really shows off her social mode to her opponent in the position of prince, unable to put her original self out.

Ulysses understands that too, so she won't be forced to break into her private life.

... what a hassle.

"For once, why don't we crack a belly and discuss it. Your future queen, I presume?

"Probably, it will... I'm a little worried. When you married me and Mary Rose became queen of this country... I wonder if the real girlfriend would disappear."

I couldn't tell you what to exaggerate...

Now that she is dyeing her cheeks and hanging out with a kitten, she perfectly plays out a quiet lady in public.

When she became queen of this country, Roberto was not anxious to know whether a place of peace existed for her.

Roberto stood still, staring at Merriah Rose at the end of her gaze.

Shagging like an age-appropriate girl, Meliá Rose looked much more attractive than the gentle smiling doll-like she saw at the dinner party.

"... what if she takes another man's hand, not yours?

"If Meliá Rose is the person I truly loved and who cares about the real Meliá Rose... I guess there's no happier happiness than that"

The look on Ulysses's face, who told him so, was somehow calm.

I'm sure this is what he meant by not lying.

"Then... what if it was me?

When asked that, Ulysses had an ambiguous grin.

"I wonder if Lord Maxwell, who drowns Merriah Rose, will have her daughter-in-law to another country...... I feel like I'm gonna sneak up on you for murder."

"Don't be sarcastic and scared"

Roberto was a little worried if this was a joke to be Ulysses, or if he meant it.

Well, you should think about that then.

"Maxwell's supreme rose, or..."

One day, I want to see a vegan girlfriend laugh next to herself.

Soon, Roberto had begun to have such thoughts.
