The Marquis’ Daughter Acts As A Pawn

A separate residence of the Baron Remington family, secluded in the aristocratic district of Wangdu.

Here lives the beloved woman of the former Baron. Yes, it's Cardia.

When the Second Prince's work as a pawn and the end came to an end, I came to see Cardia as promised.

Enjoying tea and sweets, I told Cardia everything.

"- So that's what I did as Ellen Cardia Julianna to King's Church and to Lord Edward."

"Ha ha. Though the facts are said to be stranger than the novel, no one would have expected the Marquis of Lewis' maid to have done this behind her back at the King's Metropolitan Church, picked by the Second Prince. Oh, that's funny. That's so funny! That's my friend."

What's so funny about it? It came to me!

I'm worried about Cardia's values... even now.

I swell my cheeks against laughing cardia.

"So, could this have been your reward? Dr. Adolf Taylor?

When I say so, Cardia has a glossy grin.

A grin as luscious as poisonous flowers, but I know this grin is what comes out when I find an interesting story as a writer.

Adolf Taylor.

He is said to be the most popular writer in the Kingdom of Rolands right now.

Its definite popularity will be seen in the library of Wang Du Church, as well as in Taylor's numerous books.

The letter I sent out as Ellen wrote a love letter to Sieg and a fan letter to Taylor.

The fan letter was an indication to Cardia that she wanted to borrow her identity.

When I met with Cardia before I infiltrated Wang Du Church, I made up my mind.

Of course, I will pay the price for borrowing Cardia's identity.

That was what I did and felt as Ellen Cardia Julianna, all washed up and told.

"Let me tell you something about the next one. The protagonist is... Seven Changing Aristocrats... No, this place has vowed vengeance. Let's be a former aristocrat son! Oh, my chest squeals!! The months I spent caged in the Mansion will bear fruit in order to escape the editor in charge!!

"Caged castle in noble mansion... the editor in charge is a civilian, right? Poor thing..."

"Hmm? That's not true. For the first few weeks, I just wandered around in front of the mansion, but it was really interesting to try to break in and out of it as an inside/out vendor and come into the mansion..."

"Yes, you did. That's the editor in charge of Cardia...... Yeah, with that said, I wanted to ask Cardia, but you were seeing Edward. I didn't know."

"Hmm... are you jealous?

"I'm not!!

I have a headache in Cardia, who reacts the same way as Dear Edward.

"I'm looking for a woman, or something. Meet me somehow. We just talked a little bit. It was like an ideal prince without a rumor... but I remember Anna when we met and I almost laughed off"

"You didn't really laugh, did you?

"Exactly in front of the royal family of my own country, I wouldn't do that disrespect. I laughed off after he left!

"In the end, I'm not laughing... And Cardia and Lady Bianca were close, weren't they? I was surprised when I first met the Queen of Bianca after acting like you. I almost suspected you."

"She has a very unusual way of thinking. We used to talk about it because we thought it would help the characters in the novel. I loved her. Oh, I regret her death......!

"I don't even think I want to be Bianca's concubine in that way of remorse..."

I had a cup of tea and when I took a breath, Cardia asked me with a serious face.

"I didn't know you were... taking revenge on the Duke McMillan house. You didn't show me a single such gesture."

"Even you don't really think anything about my parents' Count Wyler family, do you? You never told me that."

"Well... my family is all Baron Remington's. My late husband, my older son, my daughter-in-law, and my servants are dear families. It doesn't matter if the blood was connected, such as the brothers fighting over the counts' status. But, Anna. You would have loved a bloody father, wouldn't you? I can't tell you that I don't care about my blood in front of you."

"... hehe, thanks. You're sweet, Cardia."

"That must be you, Anna. He didn't say anything about the Duke of McMillan's house because he didn't want to involve me in revenge"

"I don't want my loved ones to die."

"I don't like my loved ones getting hurt either"

After a long silence, it was I who opened my mouth first.

"Hey, Cardia. I'll have to decide on my fiancée soon. And you'll be married next year."

"I don't think I deserve to say it anyway after a romantic marriage... Anna, I think you can say a little more about me"

"My God...!! In my blood… Never."

"Then, as Marquis Marquis of Lewis, you can say as much about me as you can. Besides, Anna. Not everyone sees the value of your blood. [M] At least, I know one person who looks at you. So don't give up."

"... if you want, I will only be hurt when I am betrayed. The chains of blood entangled in me shall never be broken."

"Anyone who can hold me while I'm tangled up in chains will show up. I was desperate because I didn't think love existed, because the one who reached out and loved me showed up."

That said, gently Cardia narrowed her deep red eyes.

"I can't believe someone like that shows up... now I don't think so"

"Then this Cardia Remington will prophesy when those who love you all show up"

"Hehe. Oh, my God."

I rise, and take my lady's thanks.

"It was fun today, Cardia. I'll see you."

"Oh, come on, are you leaving already?

"I need to go somewhere by myself."

"Right. Okay, let's get to writing too. If I can write a new one, I'll be the first to show it to you. My fan, Lord One?

I'm looking forward to it, Doctor.

We laughed at each other, whispering lightly.

And I will follow Baron Remington's apartment.

♢

I left the mansion of Cardia and went to a certain place.

That's a place I never tried to get close to for seven years... yes, to the lower town of Wangdu.

"You're no different."

Its vibrant township was unchanged from seven years ago.

Everyone seems busy... but walks wide with no heart or happy face.

I, like then, have chocolate eyes on my bronze hair.

And he was wearing an apron dress that his daughter, who lives in Lower Town, preferred to wear.

Is it something like Leah who grew up?

But I haven't been willing to play Leah since, so now it's just something like Julianna being Leah's fit.

At that time, I was desperate for myself, born as a tool, and I was running away.

Today, yes... I came here to change my mind.

Is it because Cardia told you that?

I was happy with Cardia's words, but I'm sure you shouldn't want them...... a wish that won't come true if you want it.

I walk slowly down the boulevard.

And that day...... I get to where I met him.

"What, Dear Edward...?

There was a second prince with clear blue eyes like a blue sky.

Unlike that day, the outfit is the civilians themselves.

Growing up from a boy to a young man, he approached me early with a belly grin when he found me.

... Is this a coincidence?

But it's too much to call it a fate prank.

In doing so, Master Edward was grabbing my arm with gutter.

Escape became impossible.

"I missed you. Leah...... No, is it Julianna now? You're such a flimsy guy not to come see me since one thing at Wang Du Church."

"Uh... Um... how did you get here...?

"There was a woman who gave me your information with pleasure."

A woman... no way...

The back cutter of Caldea!!
