Fake Cinderella

Nothing to do is quite painful.

I'm getting a sense of time back when it's time for a meal, but sometimes I don't know what day it is in the morning for a moment.

(Nice smell...... looks like she's fried garlic)

Is the kitchen nearby or the smell of appetite in the wind is mixed.

In this country, dinner is generally around 7: 00 at night.

I still have a little time, so I've been thinking about the basic policy of what I'm going to do.

In the first place, my mother's funeral, which is the main purpose of being here, is over.

A funeral ritual is like an annoyance, and a funeral ritual that takes place here is just a formality. My mother's body sleeps in the temple of Wang Du.

Had it not been for my crash, I would have already returned to King's Capital.

(But when I say I'm going back to the royal palace, the killer, he hasn't been caught... and finally, there's no guarantee that the royal palace will be safe...)

"Princess... No, Your Highness"

When I think about that in a rough way, Lilia rarely calls me 'Your Highness'.

When she called Her Royal Highness and I, I understood in the last few days that it meant something to the public.

What? Point your gaze at it like that.

"… Duke of Elsevelt has offered to worship the children below the Duchess"

Moments, I tilt my neck gently.

"The Duke would like to introduce Her Royal Highness to Her Royal Highness his mother-in-law and brothers."

No, I know what you mean... hey, I think about it.

Because, as I have said many times, there are simple but complicated circumstances.

Here you are.

I am the Duke's Lady, born as a result of an official marriage between the Duke and the Princess, and I am now the Crown Princess.

I will go out of my way to call it a formal marriage, because that is very important in this Dardinian kingdom.

Based on that, if you sort out the situation about my position and the complicated situation, this is, in some ways, very noon mellow.

My father, the Duke of Elsevelt, has five other children besides Altilier.

All five are sons, and it was Luciera, now Duchess, who entered his later wife, who gave birth to them.

The point here is firstly that she is not a 'Lady', but a 'Lady'.

"Madame" is not an official wife who is not a "concubine," but does not have the various rights of a "queen". Luciera is not a queen.

Nevertheless, this is not just about identity. In fact, there are a number of women who have become 'Queens' even if they are below Luciera.

But perhaps Luciera won't be able to take that seat forever. The royal family will never admit 'Lady' to her.

There is, of course, a reason for that.

Luciera's child was born from above, Alan Dior Rael Iris Els...... Alan is twenty-four and the last Iris and Els twins are seventeen. Of course, his father is the Duke of Elsevelt.

This is crazy for my age! A lot of people would think. Because the child of a woman who entered her posterior wife is a lot older than me, the child of her ex-wife.

But this is just a simple matter. To put it bluntly, because she's always been my father's concubine, and all I'm saying is that my mother died and sunny and became my late wife.

My father, the Duke of Elsevelt, became the fiancée of my mother, Princess Effinia, when she was born.

This was strongly desired by the Duke's family, and even though there was an age difference, the Royal Family could not leave it because of political circumstances.

Although the Four Dukes and the Royal Family have repeatedly married each other for generations, among other things, the spouse of the Duke of Elzevelt is almost a dowry from the Royal Family, which is what makes it insensitive.

That's why they call it the Royal Spare, etc., and the first candidate for the King's Mate in the event of the Queen's reign is always a person of Elsevelt.

What I want you to note is that at the time the princess was born he was already fifteen and that the Duke's family wanted it stronger than the royal family.

This age difference was the culprit of all later events.

It was when his father Leonhardt fell in love with Luciera, the only daughter of Count Finos, when he was twenty years old.

At this point, my mother, Princess Effinia, was only five years old. My fiancée is usually a five-year-old, so Leonhardt and Luciera got a good look at me even if they weren't welcome.

Because Elzevert was one of the country's leading aristocrats, and for Count Finos, who was nothing more than a regional aristocrat, it was never to be hoped that his daughter would receive the petition of the next Duke.

It is not strange to have one or two mistresses in the Lord of the Four Dukes after the Royal Family. Rather, it's rarer not to be here.

Eventually there will be a child between them.

That's my oldest son, Alan. Two years after Alan's birth, Dior, another two years later, Rael... and three years later, the twins of Iris and Els were born... but the two were not married.

It can't be done. Because he is the fiancé of the princess.

Nevertheless, Leonhardt and Luciera were no longer husband and wife alike. among themselves, and even if others saw it would have been so. At the earliest, Luciera could not be described as merely a mistress.

If there were so many other mistresses, it wouldn't have been a problem. Regardless of whether or not you deserve to be the Descendant of the Princess, having many children in many concubines is not a rare story in any country, and then things didn't get screwed up so far.

But the Duke has no other concubine. Not all of them. They say there are some women with hands, but that's all.

(... The thing that struck me the most was the rumors of the maids who knew all too well to the point that there were women with hands on them. Amazing, samurai. What kind of agent is that?)

At this point, I think the Duke should have said no to the Princess's descent.

But he didn't say no...... I know it was political or political or a lot, but as a private person, I think that decision sucks.

What happened as a result......

(So there's your mother's tragedy that's complicating my current situation, right?)

A princess, only fifteen years old, was descended under a man who already had five children and was fifteen years older, but also had a woman who met his wife alike... this is a tragedy if you try to be a princess.

At this point, the only thing the princess was beating Luciera was her identity.

In this case, youth cannot be a weapon. The bright and adorable late princess was popular with the people. But only a child would have seen it in a man's eyes.

Attraction, calm and maturity as a woman...... there is no way a fifteen-year-old girl could have had something that would attract a man in that sense.

Besides, Luciera had five children...... Luciera would have had the confidence to be loved.

... With at least five more years, that position could have been reversed.

As far as the portrait is concerned, the princess was the owner of a wonderful beauty. I think so even when I look at my own face that came from her.

But the princess didn't have that time.

I was born...... on the night of the Princess's death, the Duke was at the seat of Luciera's birthday celebration of her youngest son, which was taking place in a separate residence.

And he grabbed the news of the breaking water of his still young first-born wife, never stopped partying, and then kept letting the party continue ignoring the messengers from the main mansion, who had visited him many times.

He made the celebration of the birth of his mistress's child a priority, and for that reason he was not in time for my birth.

It was my mother, the princess, who named me, although normally my father named me.

I think it's a beautiful name. I really like the name Altilier-Rutiane, which is also the opening passage of the Bible.

And Princess Effinia said she wished for Julius Nishita, who was there for my baptism… and is now the Supreme Cardinal.

'Please. Please, let me and this child return to the king's capital. I don't want to be here anymore.'

That became her 'last wish'.

Because she caught her breath an hour later.

'The Last Wish' was something special.

'The Last Wish' is something that must be fulfilled in the Church's teachings.

If that is what was recognised as the 'last wish', the Church, with the authority and power of the Church, absolutely fulfils that wish. I don't care what kind of obstacle there is to its performance.

But that's why there are strict rules for being officially certified as' Last Wish '. Otherwise, because the humans who were in the final seat because it was the deceased's last wish could be unsolicited.

Because it was the night I was born... because it was then, ironically, all the conditions were in place and my last wish was fulfilled.

Incidentally, there are four conditions for this:

Condition 1: Presence of high priests of the National Church Cardinal Julius

Condition 2: Two or more row seats for those with positions of Knight or higher Princess Guardian Knights Guaranteed two or more

Condition 3: The deceased's blood and matrimonial seat Blood: I, the deceased's son, the deceased's half-brother, the Grand Duke of Keedia/Matrimonial: the deceased's aunt, the former Duchess of Elsevelt, the deceased's brother-in-law, the Count of Saudia and his wife, among others

Condition 4: If the deceased was an aristocrat, the seat of the aristocrat, neither of the deceased's blood nor of his matrimony Count Verni and Baron Farn, messengers from the royal family who guided the birth of the princess

Thus, the princess's last wish was fulfilled.

The next day, when the Duke rushed, everything had already been decided.

Princess Effinia shall be buried in the royal temple, and I shall be raised in the residence of the Duke of Elsevelt in the king's capital.

First of all, there was no precedent for a descended princess to be buried in a royal temple, her parents' home. I think you'll see that the lack of precedent will include unspoken circumstances around being authorized on the spot, albeit with your last wish.

Only two years of marriage brought only pain to the princess.

"Your Highness, what can we do? It's an inside offer..."

Lilia asks me overlapping when I think about it.

(I would like to personally meet my third brother and thank him. But I feel like apart from that and this)

I tilted my neck small and then shook my neck sideways.

It's not a cleanliness habit... although I don't have the memory of Altirier, but I still have the feeling in me that I can't forgive the Duke and the Duchess.

(Your mother is pathetic...)

Something tumbled in the back of my nose.

(I'm Altilier...)

Even now.... Even now, I think I'm an Altirier. But I still don't feel it... there's something I'm telling myself.

But at a time like this, I think Altirier and I are connected, or really Altirier.

I have feelings on this chest that fill me with hives... similar to pity, something.

Something I want to cry about, something I want to scream about.

That's something Maya Wazumi, who doesn't know this world, can't even have.

No matter how tragic you think...... you can pass by like you're reading a book if you're an intrigued other HR, or as you've seen a drama.

Yet there's something behind my chest that I can't ignore.

I just heard the story, but I don't think I can ever forget it.

So......

(I won't see you)

I lowered my head with a face that looked somewhere relieved when I shook my head quietly again.
