The Marquis’ Daughter Acts As A Pawn

The liquor store you were looking for was full of life even though it was daytime.

When I looked at the guests, there were surprisingly many female customers, and a small number of people were drinking.

Rather, it's probably just the daytime, so it's crowded.

"Welcome ~. Take your available seats -!

A seemingly active sister, who would be a waitress, speaks to us.

Following that voice, me and the second prince sat facing each other in the corner.

"What will you do with your order?

"I started today and came here. Do you have any recommendations?

"It's lunch time, and I can't recommend a daily lunch plate."

"Sister, I ask for it and fruit water. What about your brother?

"I'll have the same thing, skewers, and a drink of lemonade, please."

"Skewered in two daily dishes with fruit water and lemonade. I'll make it in Socco for my cool brother and pretty sister. Okay, I'll stay a while."

Taking the order with a pranky smile, your sister headed to the kitchen.

Looking around, a young woman looks at the second prince and colors him.

But if the second prince is too young, there is no way to speak up.

I don't know if it's a good idea or a bad idea.

When I glanced at the second prince, I was looking through the store, and I didn't see how I noticed my gaze.

That's royalty, you're used to it.

You didn't notice the gaze around you, but you noticed my gaze, and the second prince came asking as he leaned his neck.

"What's up, Leah?"

"Huh!? I'm sorry I stared... I thought you were popular with the women around you."

"I don't think so. I'm sure you think it's a rare beast. And I think Leah would be popular. Damn, what are you gazing at your child..."

"Buh, that means I'm a rare beast too!?

When I looked carefully at the gaze around me in a blunt gesture, I did feel it being seen by some men.

Toddler hobby... you were right not to come alone.

"With that said, I wonder what the people at Leah's house are doing."

"Uh, your fathers are at work. I... have escaped my studies."

I gave due consideration to childish reasons not to be suspicious.

"Oh well. What does Leah do to study?

"It's reading, writing and calculating. I was learning to read and write from my mother today."

This would be reasonable for the innkeeper's daughter.

Literacy rates among the civilian population in our country are still low.

Merchants and residents of the Wang capital are expensive, but they go low every time they go to the provinces.

That being said, it is higher among the neighbouring countries...... it is no exaggeration to say that this prince hangs on to how the education of the civilian population is going to change.

"How well can Leah read and write?

"I can read simple letters, and I can write about my name. I could read the menu of this store properly..."

If you're eleven years old as a civilian, you're a little more academic than normal.

But the genius and the prince didn't seem to mind...

"As much as that - shouldn't we try harder? I think it would be easier to study."

"Ugh, I'll hang in there a little bit if your brother says... I prefer to paint to write."

"You have to work hard."

"Ugh."

A second prince gently poked me in the forehead.

I don't know, I feel like I'm losing my temper...

"Thank you for waiting -. Skewers every day. Can I get you a drink right away?

"After dinner, please"

"Me too."

The daily lunch plate was rice on stir-fried hiccups, plus warm vegetables.

Happiness eaten with one plate of plates and one fork without worrying about table manners!

Common culture is awesome!

Take a bite and I'll just say the food is a famous tavern, and it's delicious.

I smiled and proceeded to eat.

♢

"Full house!

"Shit! One more fight."

"I'm making money today."

"Watch now, I'll show you hell!

"Come on, I already have the right to order Temehe three times."

Drinking fruit water after a meal, there was a group of people interested in poker at a table nearby.

When I looked around the other table, I noticed that I was interested in poker.

Is it fashionable?

"Is that... poker? Is it popular?"

Apparently the second prince thought the same thing as I did.

Sounds like it.

Have you noticed our gaze, a group of nearby tables have called out.

"What, are your brothers interested, too?

"Even so, you're a beautiful little brother and lady."

"My brother and I are brothers in the inn. We're in business, so it's only natural to make it pretty."

"Whoa, you hungry bastard."

"Wow, stop."

One of my uncles strokes my hair gushy.

That's it! Please really stop!

"That's about enough to stop it. You ladies wanna play poker too? I'll tell you the rules if you want."

"The customer told me before, so I know the rules."

I know the rules of poker because I've played with Vincent before.

"I know the rules too... I've never played"

"Right! I'll lend you anything now. I have two pairs."

"Are you sure? Thanks."

"Give it back properly. And if you want to play poker, you have to bet something."

"Is that a bet?

"Ooh, brother. Lately, it's fashionable for a loser to listen to a winner. I also have the right to order him three times."

With a niggling face, his uncle points to the other uncle, who is one of them.

"Ahhhhhh? If you say that, it's another battle, Gora."

"You're hungry with each other, you don't have to bet to enjoy it. All right, let's go with the fourth fight. Hehe, you can make money going to Amalia's..."

Give me the cards, and my uncles went back to their table.

"What do we do? You want me to play poker?

"Play -"

"Well, what do you say we bet?... Can the winner order anything from the loser earlier?"

What are you saying to the younger girl, this prince?

The refreshing smile of the second prince seemed kind of blacker.

Bet...... or maybe it's not a bad story for me.

If I could have won and gained command, maybe I wouldn't have to marry a second prince.

"Yeah, okay. Because you'll never lose!

Thus began betting poker with the second prince.

♢

"Phew, it's a fore card!

"Too bad it's a Royal Straight Flash. I win."

What odds do you think Royal Straight Flash is!?

Impossible... I was caught off guard thinking this was a Beginner's Rack.

If you turn your gaze to the second prince, you will remain a refreshing smile.

"Grunt...... Fine, you can order anything!

"I still don't have anything for you to say."

"Are you going to pity me -!!

"I'm not angry. I'm not angry. Isn't it an out-of-the-box road to order a girl... time to leave the store? And I have to give you back your cards."

That's how the second prince quickly puts the cards together.

But I did not miss.

Take out the cards that were hidden in the hem of the Second Prince's clothes!!

The prince made me squirm!

Doesn't having a squid on a girl fall under the category of livestock outdoors!

Seriously, I worry about the Second Prince's values.

They say genius, but people around the second prince are in trouble...

Linus, an ageless cousin and sister, floats in his head.

Surely he should have been in charge of second-prince protection from time to time.

Yeah...... next time I see you, I'll work for you.

"I'm sorry, Leah, but I was wondering if you could give me the cards back. I'll take care of it."

"Okay, okay."

I acted as Leah unaware of Squid Sama.

I'm really very angry though!

"Thanks for the cards, uncle."

"Enough, miss? How was the battle?

"I lost."

"Haha, I'm hungrier than my brother, so I can't help it!

"'Cause we're gonna win next!

"Well, hang in there!

"So is my uncle. Oh, uncle, can I have this paper?

"Is this it? Nothing..."

"Thanks! See you later"

"I'm fine."

I get a piece of paper from my uncle - a circus flyer - and I go to my waitress's sister.

"Sister, could you lend me a feather pen and ink?

"Hmm? Fine, but what do you use it for?

"I want to give my brother a painting!

"Oh, my God, you're a good boy with a good brother in mind. I have something to write on the bulletin board over there, so you can use it freely."

"Thanks."

Run to the bulletin board for a small run.

This is the ink and feather pen...

Fold and tear the flyer and make it about the size of a ticket.

And write down on the back of the flyer the characters that are impossible (...) in the daughter of an 11-year-old (...) inn.

"Tickets to Hear Anything You Say Once"

I can't help but laugh.

I can't give a girl a squid... hehe, I won't see her again as Leah anyway, so I'll let her say Gaffoon once!

When I looked at the second prince I was accounting for, she was tangled up with her aunt's employees.

You don't seem to have seen my meticulous retaliation.

"Brother, let's get out of here"

held him tight to the second prince and gave him a help boat.

When the second prince exhales in a ho, he says early in the arrow succession.

"Yeah. We need to get back to the house, Leah. It was delicious, I'll be back."

I leave the store with an aunt who doesn't seem to talk enough.

This tavern is just down the main road from the boulevard, with few people... but I found a knight far away.

Probably searching for a second prince.

When the knight saw this one, he approached me.

Leah's role is over, so...

"Yes, go ahead! It's a gift to commemorate my victory."

I gave you the voucher that I wrote earlier, Hear Anything You Say Once.

Then the second prince reveals his consternation.

That would be true, too, because Leah, who is supposed to be the daughter of the inn, can write a fair letter like the upper class.

I whisper as I chase further.

"You're done playing, Second Prince. You bothered everyone, so at least apologize to the person who bothered you the most, right?

The second prince seemed even more perplexed by the tone of a different person from Leah.

I smile at the winner for a moment and immediately create Leah's poisonless innocent grin.

"Bye, brother. Goodbye!"

I would add with all my heart that I would never see you as Leah again.

When I confirmed that the knight behind me had come right around the corner, I ran to the boulevard with all my might.
