"Primera, your mother, as Miss Julia knows, is my stepdaughter. A friend of mine, Roberto's, only daughter... she started laughing so hard at the Royal Castle, but she was a very healthy girl."
"Huh...?
I turned my eyes round to the words of the Marquis, whose eyes were narrowed to nostalgia.
Sure, you're the side room that showed me the occasional mumbling, but it wasn't an image of good health......
Beautiful as a flower, flashy, always somewhere lonely.
That gentle smile that you've told me since you got to know me is an adult woman I admire.
"Originally from Ichii, my parents are shops. When I was a billboard girl, I heard the people in town adored me."
The Marquis got to know the meeting of the Gender Chamber of Commerce at the Rose's Quality Review and so on, and said he had never taken a trip to the store of what he intended.
Well, given your identity, naturally.
At the time, he heard from the meeting that he was running a chamber of commerce and that he had one daughter.
"Hey, since that time I haven't been interested in management or anything like that... I'm ashamed I left all my dealings with the merchants to the house and the social world is the least I could do, so I didn't really know who he was!
Romance grey with a glowing smile, though cute.
No, no!? Sure, I know the fact that the Talbot Chamber of Commerce thing happened and the Genda Chamber of Commerce was running an amazing financial business for the first time. I can't say that, but, Marquis, you're pretty much MY PACE......!?
Sometimes your side room came to the rose's review, and she came with the head of the meeting, and she had a relationship with a friend's daughter who was a good rose lover.
"Easy, bright, and resourceful. It looks a lot like Primera right now... she was a little bigger when I first met her. You might have been a little restless."
"Yes, it was... I'd love to talk about it, Primera..."
"... right. But... sometimes I wonder if it's good from my mouth..."
Just a slightly troubled face.
That's probably a reluctance to gender meeting heads.
I have also heard that His Majesty the King has spoken of the fact that Primera and your side chamber are very similar.
Besides, we have witnessed several times that people who know your side room say that to Primera.
Me too, I think you two look a lot alike.
But what Primera would like to hear is that her appearance is not the only resemblance… I think she wants something like a connection with her real mother.
Of course, I'm not doubting how you feel about Primera, who's pointing it at me.
"Please, please. I want you to tell me how much you loved him."
"... loved, or"
The Marquis smiled at my words, took the baked sweets and made them appear to me and teased me.
I don't know, I thought they teased me, but apparently they weren't.
"She spent time in this hall until she adopted her daughter and then sent her off to the royal castle. Between ladies' education, this is how I made tea better across the street. I liked her."
……
"I like to run around with pleasure and laugh out loud if I have fun. She was like that. That's more of an unacceptable thing to do in ladies' education, isn't it? Still, she tried her best to stay beside Her Majesty."
His Majesty the King took the patience to peek at the rose's review and meet you in your side room...... she went to see you from time to time knowing that you were a billboard daughter at the Jenda Chamber of Commerce and was raised to love you.
And His Majesty the King, who truly desires to receive his wife, and the Marquis and his meeting took a decision to fulfill the wishes of his beloved daughter.
"That's good, I think. I think... for her, it was also a fight against loneliness."
"Marquis..."
"I personally like Miss Julia, and if she'll be my adopted daughter, she's my sister-in-law. I can call her by her name, and I can call her Aunt Primera by the way."
……
"Well, I'd be glad to be the one who drinks tea and talks to me like this even if there's no such thing (...)!
"It's... yes, I'd love to"
Even if I didn't snort, I'm glad the Marquis didn't show a nasty face or anything, and you can tell me it's okay as it is now.
I'm really glad to be your sister, your sideroom, and your sister-in-law, though.
... but I guess I just faced my own family and that wouldn't be outrageous.
Will Aldar be annoyed if I remain the 'Viscount of Fundids'?
When you think about it, you don't have a chest. It gets heavy.
"Of course, the impulse to do so arises. Sometimes the destinations there will go to Viscount Fundid's house. In that sense, Miss Julia's father would be unfit for you."
……
Your father's weak hips are reaching all the way to Marquis Nashanda territory......!?
That's shocking!
No, because of my adoptive relationship, it's natural to look into the house, and I know that it must have been a lot of trouble already. I know you do!!
"And so far, in addition to talking about it, I told you my thoughts."
"Yes, sir"
"Well, I apologize to him if I talk too much. It's not fair to Miss Julia, though."
"Yes......?
Him, though I think that might be the fluidity of the conversation about Aldar.
I feel like the topic has suddenly flown, and I can only blink my eyes.
"Though it makes me sound like a mess. Miss Yulia and I, the Marquis of Nashanda, if it ties together and things fit in circles... that adoption would not be the only way."
"Huh?"
"Lady Viscount Yulia von Fundid is also a business partner of the Marquis of Nashanda... it is his opinion that it is for one thing not to put it on the table for loyalty to Her Royal Highness the Princess, for that would suffice"
In other words, I cooperated in the development of the Marquis Nashanda's specialties for Primera or at Primera's behest, so if you show the connection by showing it outside, is that enough?
(Sure, it's a lot thinner than the connection between home and home, but... I can give the impression that the Lords are capable of dealing with people, so there's nothing to take lightly...)
On the contrary, it may be glanced at by the fact that we do not have various handouts in that respect.
(Oh, no. Even if they say all those things at the top)
But if Aldar told the Marquis, then surely I can remain Viscount Fandid.
Whatever the facts, I may sometimes work in my favor in dealing with Viscount Fundid territory if I find it useful 'in management terms'. Whatever the facts.
(I'm going to take it, and Keith Less must be following me. Your father and Melek can see through that for what such a deal might look at if you don't take it...... how can you do that)
"Though I don't think you have to think that hard."
"Is it on your face...?
"Yeah. I didn't mean to bother you. Well, I can't help it. It's a sudden story, and for you, it was a blue sky thunderbolt."
Don't let the upset appear on your face.
Before returning to your front after this, Primera, you'll be worried if you stay calm.
The Marquis laughs calmly, but no, well, really! How did this happen!
"For once, why don't you discuss this with your lover?" Since the party is Miss Julia, do you want to be protected even if he tries to?
