Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

Gently, Master Letty stood up. And turn your back on me and keep going to the window.

I was wondering what they would do, and it seemed like they were watching the view stretching right under their eyes by the window.

"... remember? Rudy, when we first met."

"Yeah. Well, already. When I first met Letty at the royal castle where Alfred brought me, Letty was behind Alfred's back and couldn't show her face inside."

"... that's what happened."

A little shy, Master Letty agreed, smiling to nostalgia.

"It was fun... so much, so much fun. You played a lot in the garden down here, didn't you? When I was a little girl, I couldn't get out of this castle. I've never even been to the Royal Palace. I was so excited to bring you here, wasn't I?... your grandmother and brother, and then you were all my sekai."

"... Dear Letty..."

"Rudy, please don't look like that. I'm happy. Sure, there's a lot of wondering what the social community is like... or what the school is like... and then what the kids of the same generation are going to talk about."

I have been passing through the setting of sickness and infirmity since I was a young child, and I have never interacted with children of my generation or attended school. … live in a situation where the word caged bird applies.

"… but I understand that it is protected more than that."

Obedience with Master Ellia. And rivalry in the current aristocratic society. I suppose you are referring to the fact that Lady Wang and Lady Alfred were thoroughly kept away from them.

"... I don't know about your grandmother. Your brother doesn't treat me like a tool. Under the circumstances, I'm sure you didn't think of a way to get me married."

Sure, yeah. Among the aristocrats who oppose Lady Letty, he would have been able to make other houses have influence to marry him.

"Well, when it comes to marriage between the Neutralists and those in that brother's faction's house, it can be a pain in the ass for your brother to have a baby."

Master Letty is right. For that reason, Lady Alfred is suppressing Lady Wang.

“What if Letty was having a baby when she ostracized Edward?".

The immediate line of the royal family today is less. Dear Alfred and Edward, and Dear Letty.

Mr. Alfred and Mr. Edward are currently in contention. This feud involving nobility arose between Lord Edward and his parents to let Lord Edward inherit the throne. If you lose, it would be the worst place to die, good and closed for life.

Assuming... it's not even an affair... if Master Alfred loses, it would be death waiting for him. I can't imagine how easy it would be for Erlia to shut down.

Therefore, it is a battle that Alfred cannot withhold...

gossip.

It is obvious that whichever wins, one falls from the royal family.

If Lady Letty was married and had children first when Lady Alfred won.

There was only one left in the royal lineage, Dear Alfred.... In that circumstance, the house where Lady Letty was descended will always think this.

“If there is anything" to Master Alfred, the king will leave his house. "

... That could be a new spark of contention.

Yes, Master Alfred is holding Queen Wang hostage.

"But I don't recommend marrying your brother's faction, so you can get her out of here before you settle with Ellia, so she doesn't target you, right? To disguise me as sick and weak without putting me on a tabular stage is to keep me away from those thoughts. … really, I'm protected by your brother."

"... that must be all that matters to him, Master Letty"

"... hehe. Right.... and will I marry you after your brother triumphs? Oh... even if he loses, he'll let another country marry him or something, and that brother will make him a good pawn."

... I felt a slight tingling pain in my chest when Letty said that I would marry her.

But it was a really small time, so I guess it was my fault… and I immediately concentrated on talking to Mr. Letty.

"... although there have been some anxiety and loneliness. I knew you had the most fun back then."

Master Letty smiled lonely, saying so. Eventually when you can pull that grin in, it turns into a serious look with determination.

"... Rudy. We have to win. For your brother, for me. For the Duchess of Armenia."

"Right."

"If I hit it off, will it be a countermeasure to the obstruction of trade in the Armenian Duke's house? It's about your brother, so have you got your hands on that yet?

"Yeah, well..."

"I can do anything I can to help, too."

Niccoli and Master Letty closed with a laugh.
