Drop!! ～A Tale of the Fragrance Princess～ (WN)

It is an event between the opening of the store and before the stargazing banquet.

It was a nice afternoon.

"Hi Cordelia!"

The voice was heard in the corridor of the castle, which was headed for the big bookshelf.Cordelia looked back at the cute girl's voice, and there were three ladies lined up.

(unusual)

Judging from the three costumes, they don't even seem to be working in the castle.

However, it is not strange for ordinary ladies to be here.

Near where Cordelia is now, there is a garden that can be accessed freely if its identity is known.There is nothing unnatural about the visitor.

However, it is difficult to say that this is the right time for the flowers to change and is suitable for tours.In fact, there are few visitors.

Besides, everyone's expression towards Cordelia was nervous and tense.I called because I saw it by accident... and it seemed like I was thinking about something.

"Good afternoon, everyone."

Cordelia smiled and greeted the girls, searching for their faces from memory.

(I've never talked to you, but you're sure the ladies who came to the store)

I've never officially greeted anyone, including at a night club, but I've seen a young lady in the middle in a carriage with the Baron's crest on it, so I can guess if it's about her name.

However, I have to wonder about the tense expression that is pointing at me.

When I say hello for the first time, the air in the field is not calm.

(I don't think I'd hear from you if I didn't have to......)

The girls didn't return the greeting even though they said they had returned it.They looked at each other and were having a conversation with their eyes.

Although Cordelia has a smile on her face, she is confused by the situation.

(At least tell me what you need to do....)

While waiting to hear from them, Cordelia felt a little preoccupied with the situation.

(Even so, the air feeling is completely different just from this standing position...I think I've seen this kind of composition in cartoons several times)

Of course, seeing a cartoon is a story from the previous life.

(In the case of romantic cartoons, there are a few strong girls asking questions, scolding and bullying.Yeah, there was.)

However, as far as the other person's face is concerned, I know that this will not happen.At any rate, the faces of the three of them were too strong.It was a clear tension, rather than a strong one.I don't think I'll ever get scolded in such a situation.

I know that the atmosphere when they visited the shop was calm in the first place, and I don't think they would scold the countess.In general, I don't think Cordelia has anyone to misunderstand.After all, Cordelia has never even been to a night club with a specific opponent, and she's hardly danced, so it's surprising to think she has someone.

Hazel has seen his rivals unilaterally in the past, but I don't think it happens very often because it was a passionate misunderstanding.

But even if you think about it slowly, the ladies are still complaining.

"... if there's anything I can do for you, would you excuse me?"

I didn't have time to wait any longer, so I tried to leave, but one of the prostitutes opened her mouth as if she had been played.

"Please, wait, I need to know!"Does His Highness Sylvester admire Cordelia!? "

"... eh?"

Cordelia, who could not understand the meaning of the word, returned the question with a half-hearted expression.

The voices that surprised me were like clouds, but Cordelia couldn't afford to worry about such things, and the ladies who looked at Cordelia with a serious look didn't seem to have noticed it in the first place.

The next two raised their voices so that they could be caught by one voice.

"Your Majesty's feelings?"

"Yes, I really want to know...!"

"Um... I wonder if His Highness is the only one who knows that?"

Cordelia twitches her cheeks when she asks me why.

(Of course, I understand that these people admire you...But I'm not supposed to have any contact.)

Rather, I don't know how Sylvester feels because I'm avoiding it.

It's just...

"At least there is no private interaction between me and His Highness.That's why it's impossible for me to guess..... "

"Really!?"

"Yes, yes, I've met you in an official setting, but that's all."

Cordelia felt like she was staring into the distance when she said, "Oh, do these people admire you?"

Shelley wasn't the only one who admired Sylvester.

(I can understand the look on your face.At first, I wondered why I... but considering my age and family status, it wouldn't be strange if I was a candidate, and I wondered why I couldn't appeal if it was decided on my own.)

I think there are walls, but not necessarily impossible.

And, at least, if nothing is done, the possibility remains forever zero.

(Rather, if these people keep up the good work, I won't have to worry about anything... and I'd like to support you as much as I can.)

If that happened, Sherry's target would be out of her own league.

When they were targeted, one of them held Cordelia's hand while moisturizing his eyes, even thinking of gathering information from all sides.

"Dear Cordelia, I'm really glad...!"

"If I were to be queen of the future, I wondered what would happen to the store...!"

"When Cordelia leaves management, I'm worried about whether new products will be released one after the other as they are now....."

"... eh?"

It's kind of different from what I thought.

Cordelia's face twisted as she thought so.

"Aren't you admiring His Highness...?"

"No! We are fans of Cordelia!I'm not interested in Your Highness! "

I think it is happiness for customers to think so, but I didn't imagine it would be conveyed with a red face.

"I'm really nervous today... but I'm relieved that you're not worried at the moment."

"But, Cordelia-sama doesn't have a fiancé yet, right?"What happens next..... "

"It's okay, we'll find someone worthy of Cordelia too!I hope Cordelia will shine more and more and the shop will thrive more and more! "

Soon, such a story came to pass, and as Cordelia, I thought with distant eyes, "Why did I mistake these people for His Highness?"It's not like a maiden in love at all.

(But isn't that a bad story?)

Cordelia had just begun attending a party for her wedding.

The girls' offer is appreciated in the sense that it expands their chances of meeting.

If there's a problem...

"But if you can convince the Count of Pameladia and convince him... it's going to be difficult.After all, it seems like you need martial arts skills as well. "

Cordelia laughed bitterly at those three words.



"I just saw an exchange like this..."

"Dili is still loved by the ladies."

Sylvester laughed bitterly when he heard from Vernor, who had witnessed the accident.

I'm not interested in your Highness, but the ladies who speak so eloquently are unhappy that you are so close to Dilly.

“Hey, Verneau, don't hide the fact that you've heard something really interesting.”

"I mean, it's actually funny. He said he was not interested in the Prince of a Nation.Dili is a popular person. "

"Well, thank you for the information that a very powerful enemy has emerged.I wonder why I think of introducing other men.... "

Even though I can't get close enough, it's not like I've been introduced to other people.

"I wish you could have recommended me anyway.I will never do what I have to do to let go of the store.If you do that, Dili will hate you. "

Of course, there are many things that would not have been the case if official business had been admitted, but it should be the same for any nobleman to marry.At least if the daughter of the Pameladian family marries her.

"Well, I'm sure you'll still be the busiest.Why do you carry the name of the country? "

I'll tell you about the stabbing.

"It's just a fact. What are you going to do with that, Prince Sama?"

"... no, no matter what I do... I guess I'll just have to do my best."

Having heard the answer, Vernor looked up to him.

"What are you going to do, even though you're supposed to be working hard, and you haven't been able to do it at all for years?"

However, I would like to insist strongly that I am thinking a lot.

But it doesn't make sense unless it's tied to the results.

"I feel like there are more and more problems, even though I don't solve anything."

As with paperwork, I can't help but think it would be easier if I could see it cleared up.

"I don't feel like it, but it's true."

"... in the meantime, let's talk a little bit about Dili's achievements where possible so that there won't be any more difficult enemies like the ladies."

If you do, I'm sure the Ladies will recognize you as not an enemy.

Of course, I don't think it will be enough to help "find the right person", but Sylvester wants you to forgive me for having the hope of getting a little into Cordelia's ears.

(It's a natural thing to say that there is no private interaction, but... it would be nice if you could just tell me that I'm very interested.)

I'd rather get along with Sylvester than be intrigued, but I know I can't get that far.Anyway, if there is such a possibility, at least the situation of 'I can't talk' is off.

"You're definitely breathing, are you all right?"

"Oh, I'm fine. But I didn't think the daughter would stand up, so I couldn't help but think it was Dili."

Vernor laughed at Sylvester's answer.

Sylvester probably seemed a little more interesting if he was objective.provided, however, that in the position of the parties

However, Sylvester cannot help sighing at the increasing number of obstacles in the difficult future.

(If you don't do it quickly, it may be more difficult.No, I don't think it's going to happen.)

When I realized that, I had to think that maybe it was time to prepare myself.
