The Little Duchess’ Home Tutor

I've never felt confident in myself before.

Of course, as the eldest daughter of the Duke of Howard's family, I think I've built up as much effort as I can. But...... such a thing, in front of reality's difference in strength, is merely self-satisfaction.

Today, I was made to look different.

Master Lydia's sword moves were truly beautiful - like a sword dance.

I can't believe Allen's magic controls all attributes and that number of basic magic - divine business.

Karen's physical strengthening magic was as brilliant as ever - honestly, I learned envy.

But the thought of 'no choice' over these three prevailed.

I've been collecting and knowing all these amazing things and rumors about you two that I don't really think you're the same person. And because I also thought to Karen, my best friend, that I was' invincible 'on the inside.

It was - when I saw the three younger people - that made me desperate.

"Please revoke your words now!

"... Your Highness, if only contempt for me, I still cannot overlook my contempt for my brother"

"Dr. Allen is - I don't think so!

Those three did not have any hesitation in challenging the contempt for Master Allen issued by His Highness Gerald, the second prince of the kingdom.

... Why?

How could you do that?

They deserve second place in the throne, don't they?

If I suck, even my own life - that's when Karen, who was sitting next to me, rises up.

"- Mr. Lydia, you'll have it here, won't you?

'... Yep'

"Hello, this is Karen, Allen's sister - an affront to my brother, an affront to me, my parents, and my clan - I can't overlook that it would be royal!!

I've never seen Karen go so far.

We finally understood what we turned to our enemies, and in front of us, the princes were trembling.

- My despair deepened after the simulation began.

I knew Tina could use magic now.

It was a real pleasure, and I was heartily pleased when I heard the reward.

... because I knew my sister had suffered the whole time.

At the same time, I thought: Didn't Allen read "The Wizard" in a picture book at a very young age? and.

... He was really accomplishing a 'miracle'.

Until just three months ago, my sister, who couldn't even use basic magic, used it as if I were breathing the 'Ice Snow Wolf' that I hadn't even gotten the hang of yet.

Ellie, who was a regular maid, was more beautiful than me, drawing a magical formula with no gaps, letting countless advanced magic unfold with fearless tranquillity and dominating the space.

Line also crossed more than one another with a sword against the prince, completely manipulating the 'Firebird'.

When I saw them. I felt clearly that something in me would make a noise and collapse.

... and then I don't remember how I left the royal palace.

By the time I realized it, I was walking out to the royal school dorm.

- What am I supposed to do now?

For a long time, Tina was a much smarter kid than me.

Much credit has already been given to the development of new varieties of crops and the introduction of new farming methods.

But I couldn't use magic, so I thought I had to inherit the Duke's house.

My Howard family is a Takemen lineage entrusted with Northern caressing.

That lord can't use magic, then he can't pass.

Your father disagreed, but that's why he decided to go to Royal School - but now Tina's far ahead.

I don't know what to do...

"- Go."

"Cold! Ka, Karen!? Why are you here? They went with Allen and the others..."

"... I've been here a long time. I can't leave Stella alone right now. You look terrible. I can't get it together, drink it!

"What?"

"Just drink it!

Karen gave me some ice juice.

Take a sip - sweet.

"If something bad happens, eat or drink sweet food, take a bath, keep warm and go to bed right away! Then - I'll be fine tomorrow. We can walk out again."

"... is that right?

"Of course. 'Cause this is a direct message from your brother."

"... Master Allen, but can you be frustrated or depressed?

"Stella - hey, too much fantasy. Is that what makes you weak? I'll be depressed soon, and I'll want to run away soon. Just like you are now."

"... lying"

"I'm not lying, because..."

"Shh!

Once I put it into words, it didn't stop after.

... the dirty part of me makes a face.

"How many people in the kingdom think we can cross each other with Master Lydia! How can Tina be allowed to use the ultimate magic in three months when she can't use any magic until now and even says' Howard's Abominable Child '!! I can't believe that someone who has accomplished such a' miracle '- just like me who doesn't have anything... you can't believe it..."

- Stella.

A very sweet voice - Karen strokes her head slowly as she hugs me and groans, "It's okay, it's okay".

"... a long time ago, when I became like you now, my brother did this to me all the time until I settled down"

"... Karen? Like me now?

"Stella, you're overestimating me, too. Think about it? Who's my brother?

"Huh!"

"... I used to hate it. I always wondered why people were my brother. Besides, he can study more than I can, and the magic is amazing, and his physical skills are no match - but he and his parents believed me all the time, all the time."

"Trust me...?

Turn the smile over here that Karen has never shown before.

- Oh, this kid has an unwavering absolute base.

"My brother didn't like studying, he couldn't use much magic, and he couldn't do his physical surgery even though he was a werewolf - even I was about to give up on myself already... he believed me. 'Karen would be fine.' Cause she's my only sister '. I don't have any basis - but I believe it, and I believe it, so I'm here now."

"... Karen"

"You know what I mean? That's what I mean. So... what do you want to do?

A sincere inquiry from my best friend.

- Bite your back teeth off.

I'm... I'm...

"... I hate it as it is!

"Well, then... we've decided to do it."

Karen laughs invincibly.

... Is that it?

I have a bad feeling about something - the next moment, I don't think I can help but have my heart rattle.

"- Stella, let's join Line and the others in getting all sorts of things from your brother. I don't want the younger kids to have a monopoly."
