The Marquis’ Daughter Acts As A Pawn

When I entered the house of the Duke of Seradius as Sharon was, I took Marie's hand and returned to my room.

I'm done acting time. I take off Sharon's mask with my clothes and ask Marie to dress me.

"... Marie, could something have happened while I was gone?

"Except the lady didn't come back on her scheduled day, nothing in particular. We are not letting anyone in this room but Vincent, and we are gathering information well. Even in the talks, His Royal Highness the Second Prince seems to have successfully fulfilled the demands of Count Dammeyer."

"Yes, you worried me, Marie."

"... stop pushing yourself alone, young lady"

Marie groaned pompously as she tied my hair.

I think I've been terribly worried.

"I'll do good. I'm worried about Edward and the others."

"Ask yourself that. Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered in a separate room."

I can't believe I'm keeping you waiting for the royal family.

As I laughed and said Couscous, Marie sharpened her eyes.

"You just have to let them wait long enough."

"... Marie. I really don't like you, Edward."

With my gloves in place and my spine stretched, I snarl my shoes and take a step.

"Well, shall we go"

"It's the complete resurrection of Marquis Lewis."

Marie opened the door to the room and congratulated herself.

♢

Marie showed me the room that Edward had given me.

It is the biggest room in the Roland's Mission, with sofas and tables where a large crowd can relax. I know it's the perfect place to get together. But how could he be here?

"What's up, Julianna? It's like looking at a pest and staring at a contort."

"I'm sorry, Master Edward. From now on, be careful not to show it to your face."

"That wouldn't be the problem!

Konrat tried to stop at me screaming, but his movements stopped in the middle when Master Keel and Marie simultaneously put their hands on the weapon to be vigilant. No matter how many knights, you've decided it's hard to deal with both of them at the same time.

"Sister! Are you hurt?

"It's okay, Vee"

"I was really worried."

I embraced Vincent, who came running over in a hurry, and taught him his own safety.

"... Hey, Vincent. I can't forgive you for holding Julianna instead of my fiancée."

"Wow, Livestock Demon King. Are you jealous of me? You're a little guy with a bowl."

That being said, Vincent snorted like provoking Master Edward.

"I thought what you were busy with was a beauty, but you can't say that all the time."

"I think it's about you, Edward. Now stop eating sweets, Theodore and Miss Lillianne, and I'll hear from Miss Julianna."

When Lady Cyrus slapped her hand, she took the treat from Theodore and Lillianne. The two reached out and tried to retrieve the treat, but reluctantly sat back on the couch when they realized that it was impossible because of their height.

(That's right, I've only been a guardian of troubled children for years, and Master Cyrus is handy.)

I sat down next to Lord Edward with interest.

Somehow, I feel it's natural to sit next to Master Edward.

"Dear Edward. I'll ask you this once, but Konrat's here for a reason, right?

"Whatever. I decided that it would be quicker to have an edge of the Duke Seradius family."

"... I didn't know this was the case with the Roland's Mission, a gathering of outstanding people..."

Konrat muttered uncomfortably as Marie and Master Keel pinched him.

"How rude of you. Hey, Vee. Can you tell us the results of your intelligence efforts to confirm our excellence?

"Yeah. Of course, sister"

Vincent raised the end of his mouth and glanced at the conlat.

"Firstly, the servants of the Duke of Ceradius, of course, were not spotted by anyone on Samorta's side that my sister was sleeping with a cold."

"What's that!? I'm not listening!

"Huh? Where's the idiot who says,"

Konrat opened his eyes and shouted.

Vincent looked at the Konrat in a terribly depressing manner, but will return to the report shortly.

"I was able to squeeze pretty good information from the servants of the Duke of Seradius. The House of the Duke of Seradius, as Prince Lista said, seems to be pretending to be on the side of Count Dammeyer and Prince Ardarbert"

"So the House of the Duke of Seradius is a real patriot."

"They say the Duke himself is pushing Princess Listasha just because the Konrat is obstructing him"

To my whining, Master Edward nodded as he agreed.

"Let me be obstinate, etc...!

"I think it's stupid to push your will, even though you're mainly unmotivated!

With a sparkling and refreshing smile, Master Keel said.

He does not seem to be aware, but is a poisonous tongue inside.

"The brain-muscle keel tells me it's over."

Oh, man. Vincent puts his hand on his forehead.

Konrat was depressed and flattened his shoulders.

"I... think no one deserves a king more than His Royal Highness Lista"

"But Prince Lista doesn't think so. What does your king want... what is happiness?

When I inquired, Konrat made his face bow down.

"... I don't know"

"You just have to know now."

No matter what the subordination is, there can be no way that we can trust each other and understand our feelings from the beginning.

Sometimes they worry, collide, and still try to discuss and share. That's how I and Marie deepened our bond and forged a subordinate relationship that never wavered.

I think that Edward, Cyrus, and Keel have overcome many difficulties and supported each other in building their current relationship.

"Restore your mind and we will report the infiltration of Count Dammeyer's house. I'm sorry I had a little trouble and I'm late to get back here."

"He said he infiltrated Count Dammeyer's house!?

Conrad reveals his amazement again, but Master Edward ignores it and stares straight into my eyes.

"Julianna. What do you mean, bothered?

"I was attacked by the pet princess Leonore.... sexually."

The tail shrugged small, but everyone seemed to have listened well, and some of them blinked intrigued.

"Sexually!? Ju, Miss Julianna's chastity...!

"Calm down, Cyrus. You know Julianna's not just a woman who gets pushed down a lot."

"Right. If Miss Julianna, a livestock and belly-black Edwardian obsessed, uses her back without fear, even if she is attacked by a pet princess, she is likely to do enough to attack her back."

"... I wonder what I look like in Master Cyrus...?

Looks like we should discuss this thoroughly for once.

I am a weak nobleman, rumored to be the perfect lady.

"So, Julianna. Has the Princess attacked you with her own desire? Or is that Count Dammeyer's instructions?

"It is the instructions of Count Dammeyer.... but I also felt like my pet princess Leonore had set the scene to do so. It's just my personal view."

As Edward reconstituted his legs and contemplated, he deepened the wrinkles between his brows.

"The princess seems like a very strong woman. And this is the most important question..."

"What is it, Master Edward?"

I draw my attention to its seriousness and look up to Master Edward.

"Is your chastity safe in the end?

"Oh my God, are you asking! It will be decided safely! Still, are you my fiancée!

And when I lifted up my voice, I slapped Lord Edward's breast with a poke. I'd really like to elbow him in the dovetail, but I guess he's sad. He's still the second prince of his country. We have to do something about it.

"Haha! Your Highness is wrong."

Theodore started laughing with his belly in his arms. I look sharply at him like that.

(I'm not a spectacle...!

Whether my anger had been conveyed, Vincent held my hand softly and smiled an angel who had not changed since childhood. Very healing.

"Sister, it's not too late. You just have to dispose of a perverted prince without such a shard of compassion."

"How cute and adorable is my brother!

When I rose up in momentum, I embraced Vincent. Then behind her, Master Edward muttered disturbingly, "It's time to give educational guidance," but I pretended not to hear.

"Hey, Sister Anna. I've been wondering, what's that bag? Maybe a souvenir!

The bag seemed to have fallen on a standing up clap, and Lily, who picked it up, sparkled her eyes.

"It's not, Lily. This is the jewel Leonore gave me. It's a paint ingredient."

And I opened the sack that Lillianne had, and took a grain of lapis lazuli, and knelt it so that it could be seen by all.

"... you're a gem I've never seen"

"Isn't that the jewel we're producing in the Kingdom of Samorta?

Lady Edward and Lady Cyrus stare at Lapis Lazuli with interest.

"Duke of Seradius, wouldn't it be early if you asked the son?

"... No, I've never seen it either"

To Theodore's words, Konrat shook his neck to the side.

(What do you mean? Isn't that a gem produced in the Kingdom of Samorta?

Lapis Lazuli, such a beautiful gem, cannot be anonymous in its country of origin. I don't know, I have a bad feeling.

"I know! Lapis lazuli, isn't it?

"I know, Lily!?

When Lillianne snorted her nose well, she strained her chest and bragged to begin explaining Lapis Lazuli.

"The history of Lapis Lazuli is ancient, and a thousand years ago it was already used for privileged crafts, etc. It was worshipped as a sacred stone, and it seemed that it was sometimes used in divinity. Also known as the night sky. It's just that it can only be picked in the rugged mountains, so it looks like it's only out in some parts of the continent."

"Lily, where are some areas?

"Diagilev Empire, Brother Vee"

"The Diaghilev Empire!?

I screamed unexpectedly.

Lillianne's brain, deputy director of the records bureau, is precisely packed with vast amounts of knowledge. I don't think the words she said like that are lies.

"... Lilianne. It doesn't matter if it's trivial. Was there anything else within the Kingdom of Samorta related to the Diaghilev Empire?

Master Edward said to Lillianne with a harsh face.

Lillianne answers Edward's question by prejudging "I don't think it's a big deal," when she roars.

"Exposed dresses and big jewelry… the fashion of aristocratic women is about the same with the Diaghilev Empire in its full season"

"The Duke of Seradius Rest Warrant. Who is the source of the epidemic among aristocratic women in the Kingdom of Samorta?

Mr. Silas immediately questioned the Konrat.

After a while Konrat starts spinning words with the face that he can't believe himself.

"... I'm Countess Leonore Dammeyer"

I heard an answer I expected but didn't want it to hit me and I got a headache.

(... but we have to be sure. to the Kingdom of Samorta too, perhaps the hands of the Diaghilev Empire are stretched out in the same way as the Kingdom of Rolands)

The Duke of McMillan, who had earlier been the culprit of the Great Solemn Qing of the Kingdom of Rolands, had joined hands with the Diaghilev Empire. Don't miss the Rolands kingdom, which is divided into kings and church denominations, and the Diaghilev empire used the Duke of Macmillan to scatter seeds of discord.

(The Diaghilev Empire is and always has been the same, it's an invading nation...!

Attacking the Kingdom of Samorta from the inside, which is difficult to invade directly, is not unlikely. But I wager my slightest hope, and inquire of Konrat.

"Hey, Konrat. The pet princess Leonore comes from a naturally rich orphanage where Suzuran blooms in the spring...?

"No, she sure... she should be from an orphanage outside Wang Capital. There's also a big town around there, not so much nature"

A slight cold sweat propagates my back.

Apparently the Kingdom of Samorta is in a more dangerous situation than I thought.

"This is a very bad thing."

When Edward stood up, he looked up to Cyrus and Theodore.

"... Princess Leonore may be an agent of the Diagilev Empire. Hurry up and tell King Samorta and Princess Listasha this fact."

At the same time that Master Edward ordered it, there was a sound of something collapsing from an unused fireplace in the room...
