The Villainous Daughter’s Butler ~I Raised Her to be Very Cute~

"Thank you for listening. Please continue and enjoy your tea party."

I managed to fix it while taking a full body of downpouring drinks like Skoll's. "Mr. Cyril, it was amazing," Alicia rushes up to where she left her daughter's violin.

The Sophia lady next door mumbled. The training ground, the feeling of dark falling and alert, but Alicia turns her gaze to Lady Sophia with a smile on her face.

"Master Sophia was very nice, too. Two duets, they were so beautiful that I wanted to paint them."

"Oh, really?

"Yes. The main melody has been replaced from the way, hasn't it? Mr. Cyril plays to gently envelop Sophia, who plays the main melody. The tone of each other respected each other, and it was very, very nice."

"If that's what it looks like, I'm very happy."

... Lady Sophia, it's too chocolate.

That line came to mind, but it disappeared quickly. I feel the same way as a lady. I enjoyed playing so much earlier that I seemed to know how to feel with the lady.

Relax, I'm going to have the same look on my face as the lady.

"I'd like to play with Master Sophia."

"Oh, with me, is it?

"- Yes. I can't play like Mr. Cyril, but I thought when I saw you play earlier that you wanted to play with Master Sophia.... No, is it?

Innocent - literally innocent, no shards of malice or other intentions, purely in the face of wanting to play with Lady Sophia, shining her eyes like the night sky.

I guess the lady, who is used to being praised as a marquis, is also not used to the innocent favor of this hand. You look like you're in trouble, and then you look happy.

Seeing that face, it's obvious what Lady Sophia is going to do.

I'll give you the violin of the lady I kept for once. The lady looked a little troubled after all - but she happily received the violin somewhere.

"We are delighted to accept that invitation. But Mr. Alicia doesn't seem to have a violin, what are you going to do?

"Oh, speaking of..."

Alicia turns her gaze to Melissa for help, but she shook her neck sideways with a troubled face.

"If you don't mind, would you like to use Cyril's violin?

"Oh, are you sure?

I was pointing the water at him, and I offered him a violin, "Of course." Alicia receives it to handle the treasure and softly hugs it to her own chest.

"Thank you. Then, Master Sophia, let's play it together!

A smiling Alicia takes me to the stage, Sofia lady.

The two discuss something lightly and the lady looks a little surprised. But, like earlier, I guess I was pushed off by the favor of innocent Alicia. The lady snorted and then quietly set up the violin - pulled the bow.

The loud tone spreads to the venue, followed by a pleasant tone flying over the main melody.

Alicia in the paramelody is dancing on the tone of the lady in the main melody. I just want to say that I don't know which is the main melody - but the lady's tone comes naturally into her ears.

Listening to the two melodies, I feel like an innocent sister and a sister watching over it gently.

It would be the talent of Lady Sophia to be able to lead such a way as to capitalize on others' performances instead of sticking to her own.

It's a really smiling sight - and I realized in the corner of my sight that His Highness Alforce was saying something to his servant. The servant jumped off the venue probably to pick up His Royal Highness's violin.

For a while, this little - grandiose and conspicuous - concert is going to continue.

During the discussion, it was a performance to keep other attendees from getting bored, but something is changing the thrust. I look around to see if there will be any problems with the progression.

The majority of the attendees are listening to the performance and it doesn't look like there's a problem. Those who don't seem to enjoy new treats, etc.

Confirming it that way, a Libert walked over who noticed this one.

"Sorry to leave you, my guest"

No, I don't mind.

Liberto turned his gaze to the two of them playing on stage. But the gaze looked at Alicia with wonder.

Like the story, Liberto doesn't seem sure he's starting to be interested in Alicia.

"I didn't know your lady or His Royal Highness Alforth was really an electorate."

"Finally, did you believe me?

I can't believe you showed me the sincerity that you did earlier.

His Royal Highness Alforce's best apology seems to have reached Liberto properly.

"... I'm sorry"

Liberto accidentally said those words. But I don't know. As he tilted his neck wondering what it was, he scratched his head all the way.

"Nothing. Besides, I've never talked to you like this without any clue."

"Until now, I've been worried about the surrounding ears."

We are not your enemies. I can't say a word about it, it's a lot messed up. But that's over, too. Finally, I can talk casually.

"But... I'm surprised that this young lady doesn't have voter ideas."

"Oh, why?

"All that talented combined delicacy. It must have been a little tricky. Given her identity, I don't think it's strange to recognize herself as a special person?

"The lady is hard-working."

"Is that the realm you can reach with effort? There's no point in saying it's special... No."

Liberto looked at me and somehow flipped the foreword.

"Because you're here, huh?"

"Me, sir?

I tilted my neck to see what it meant, but Libert laughed that it was nothing.

"It's more about selling crepes."

"I heard the business deal was only decided on the big frame, what's the problem?

"No, the details are later, but it will go without delay. Sell it out in the King's Capital first. Materials are going to expand their profits by asking merchants under our umbrella."

It was meant to be a mild public discourse, but it brought more information than expected.

"Are you sure you want to tell me that? I think we should lay low on our sales strategy."

"No problem. If you listen to as much violin as you did, it's clear that you will never betray that young lady."

... I feel subtly teased.

But you're right in terms of not betraying the lady. Some of the proceeds from selling crêpes flow into your daughter's faction. There can be no more interrupting the sale of crepes than knowing that. Instead, we decided to do everything we could to help.

"I'll tell you what, I'm not familiar with business, am I?

I realize why he leaked his sales strategy to me and stab the nail.

"Miss Sophia said if I talked to you, sales would increase tenfold, right?

Your daughter's trust is too great.

As a dedicated butler, I want to live up to my expectations whenever possible. But I can't do things I can't. It is a disgrace to speak as a servant if you cannot, but it is an unacceptable sin to say that you can do what you cannot.

"I'm sorry, but it's unlikely to meet your expectations. When it comes to what I can think of, it's enough to sell it first to the nobles, make it popular, then sell it to the civilians."

The epidemic went from top to bottom - and I swallowed the words when I said it. Because Libert was staring at me with excitement.

"Excuse me. That was normal for merchants."

"Don't be ridiculous, what's normal. I didn't even think of that way."

I'm distracted. When I thought I was angry, I was actually excited. Besides, I'm too unexpected to have thought of it. Epidemic transmission is fundamental from top to bottom.

Even the aristocratic epidemic goes from top to bottom...... oh well.

Unlike the world of previous life, this world is an aristocratic society. There is not much to say that the epidemic of nobility spreads to civilians because of the separation between the lives of nobles and civilians. Therefore, even if it is normal to flush the epidemic from top to bottom, I guess there is no idea of spreading the epidemic from the aristocratic class to the civilian population.

"I'm glad I could help. I think you can rank some of the crepes and divide the prices, create seasonal products, etc."

I gave some advice I could think of all the time and tried to get to the lady because it was time to finish the song. At that moment "Wait -" the Libert pulled my sleeve.

"Tell me everything you know. Whatever it takes, I'll pay your daughter the price."

"That's not silly, but I need to take care of your daughter now."

"Don't worry. Earlier, you gave me permission to talk to you."

"... you did"

I guess that's why there's been talk about sales tenfold.

So I get root digging, leaf digging and questioning.

Sophia, after the lady and Alicia duet, I also thought I'd just cut to the chase, but now the lady and Her Highness started the duet.

When I see it, I keep talking in a sigh. Riverto nodded satisfactorily when he heard from me about digging for roots and leaves.

"... I see, indeed, all of your knowledge was useful stuff. If this is true, it could be ten times less than a dream."

"That was it. By the way, won't Mr. Liberto do a duet with Mr. Alicia?

I want to get to the lady as soon as I can, I turn to the water subtly. But after a little thought, Liberto said, "Let's stop this time."

"Why is that? Alicia, if you're a lady, you'd be happy to take it, wouldn't you?

"Well... maybe so. But I'll stop it this time. I don't have the courage to ask Miss Alicia to play after you and Miss Sophia have been listened to."

Liberto laughs at himself, but apparently our performance is complimented.

"Because of me, I'll give it to the other ladies."

Liberto said so and walked away.

Then a while later, Lady Sophia and Her Royal Highness Alforth's duet ends. Instead of receiving the violin, hand the towel to the lady immediately.

"Thank you, Cyril. How was my performance?

"It's always nice for a lady to play."

"Already, Cyril. I'm asking for advice."

I insist, but that face doesn't look like it's going to be too rough.

But the lady really played nice. It also improves in technical terms, but more importantly, it is rich in emotions that dwell in its tone. Just listening to the lady's tone conveys that thought.

This would surely be the only talent for those loved by music.

"Cyril, I'm going to take my seat off a little bit. Please treat your guests for a while."

"Yes, sir."

I scratched my sweat, so I guess I'll change my clothes. Lady Sophia left the room with a maid. Dropping it off, the somewhat depressed His Highness Alfors comes.

"... why are you depressed?

"If you were listening to me play earlier, you know what I mean?

I pretended I didn't get it.

But I can imagine. There was an overwhelming separation between Lady Sophia and Her Royal Highness Alforth in skill and glamour. I don't suppose His Highness is any better at violin than dancing.

"I understand. Because I was playing and I felt the same way!

It was Alicia who abruptly endorsed it.

You said you pretended I didn't get it, but Alicia doesn't know what you're afraid of.

But instead of disgusting His Highness Alforce, he said, "Again, when you play violin with Mr. Sophia, you deplore your lack of strength!" I empathized.

"Yeah, really. Even when I danced with Mr. Cyril, I was saddened by my lack of strength."

"I understand! When I danced with Mr. Sophia, too, I wanted to cry at the difference in strength. Really, I'm impudent..."

"Your Highness, cheer up. Why don't you practice with me if you like so I don't have to be depressed next time?

"That's good, let's practice!

Something tells me that the two of them are very intentional... but is Alicia going to use the prince of this country as a practice bench? Somehow, it's too twisted.

Your Melissa is bluing her face...?

But the two people who go up on stage don't make them feel the separation between royalty and lower nobility. The two of you play immaturely, but in a tone that makes it fun to listen to.

... Wouldn't it look surprisingly good on you?

I can hear whispers from all around me about how those two look. I can't even hear the story, but their expressions are generally favorable. Without trying, the actions of the two seemed to cut off those attending the tea party from thinking that the second prince had no voter ideology.

"- You did a really good job."

A clear voice echoed from behind.

The name of the Lord of that voice does not exist on the list of invitees I have made. - But given her identity, it would be possible to dive into this tea party by any means.

I suppressed my inner agitation and looked back, "Good mood, Mr. Foll."

There, as I expected, Fol, the student chairman, was all over the place in his dress. Wearing a blue dress, she has a noble grin like a royal blue rose.

"Oh, I was going to surprise you because... you don't surprise me"

"I'm still a lot surprised by this. What the hell kind of hand did you use?

"Of course it's a secret. Ladies are more attractive with mysterious, aren't they?

She's a good mouth lady.

If they say it like that, I can't joke and ask them out.

Most importantly, I can imagine some means of breaking and entering. I guess I used my status as a royalty. We need to check with the clerk later, but we won't have to question him until we take care of him here.

"So what did that mysterious lady come to do?

"Oh, I don't think you'd have to ask.

"... you came to see the results of the exam, didn't you?

Not answering my question, Fol smiled with a grin.

"I was brilliantly impressed that His Royal Highness Alforth was not an electorate in this one case. Your hands are nothing short of brilliant."

Praise our arms on a level that Foll can say let go. But I rather raised the alert level to its maximum. This situation is unexpected to me.

In the first place, Fol's challenges lack objectivity. It is second to none whether those around you think His Highness Alfors' position has improved. Whether or not Fol passes is the criterion.

It's an exam you'll never pass in the traditional way.

Therefore, I intended to override that prerequisite.

Rumors circulate His Highness Alforth's assessment at the Tea Party, and even via His Highness, make his parents - or royalty - appreciate his track record of doing business with civilians.

You make the fact that everyone in the school, and even the king, appreciates it, and you say, "Even the king appreciates it, but you're not saying it's a failure, are you?" I was planning on approaching Fol.

Nonetheless - no, that's why, I guess.

Foll came at this time to say yes or no. If objective assessment has not spread to the school as a matter of fact, there is nothing wrong with deciding whether or not to accept it from Foll's personal point of view.

Even if public opinion is on your side later, that's the end of it if you say you thought so then. Even if Foll corrects the assessment, it does not have to be corrected until the result of acceptance or rejection.

So I'm totally out of it.

"I passed. No complaints."

But what spilled out of Foll's mouth was the opposite of what I had imagined. When I looked at her face in surprise, there was a recalcitrant look on her face.

The question arises first as to why -. But I see and understand Fol's slightly obstinate smile, which then erased his emotions.

"The violin duet is the deciding factor, is it?

"... I knew you'd noticed. You're surprisingly Ijiwal to realize that and show me such a fun sight."

Many possibilities were envisaged, but some of them become realistic.

If that assumption is correct, I can imagine the thoughts of those who tried to admit the lady to the student council, as well as Foll's reasons for rejecting it.

I know you want me to stay out of this...

"That's Fol... eh. Why is Mr. Foll here?

Return to me in the voice of His Royal Highness Alforth.

Apparently, you're back after your duet with Alicia.

"Who is that woman, Mr. Cyril?

Alicia asked with a smile.

I'm smiling... an obviously awesome smile.

I was wondering why Alicia was angry, and she said, "You tell Sophia that Cyril was stretching her under her nose to her beautiful sister, right?," he was struck in the ear.

That's all I want you to stop because I think there's going to be a strange misunderstanding.

"She's Mr. Foll. I'm the middle school student chairman. This bridge also served as an exam for the lady and me to join the student council. She's here because of that."

His Royal Highness Alforce knew his name, so he introduces him to Alicia. Then I'll make an introduction to Alicia and His Royal Highness Alforth, just in case.

"Heh, is it a student council? Cyril..."

Alicia shrugged pompously.

Then he turned his back on me Kurli and stuffed it against Folle.

"- I want to join the student council too!

Foll looked surprised at the sudden offer.

"You want to join the student council? Why not?"

"I, Sophia and Cyril, take great care of me. So I want to go into the student council and help you two with your work"

"Yes... but I'm sorry. The student council is now filled with seats."

Alicia's innocent attitude also doesn't make sense to Folle, who is trying to avoid engaging with people. She somehow rejected Alicia for a reason.

But...

"That shouldn't happen. I've heard that Fol is the only one in the student council. There's supposed to be about five or six people, so there's no way they haven't been vacant."

It was His Highness Alforce who sandwiched his mouth.

Indeed, His Royal Highness Alforce is right, but then Foll put in a no. You shouldn't pursue it with the understanding that it's convenient.

His Highness has not yet been able to read the air around it. It is necessary to perceive such air more than to live in an aristocratic society. I thought we should be careful later.

"So let me join the student council."

Now even His Royal Highness Alforce stuffed into the Fol. Apparently it wasn't a failure to read the air, it was a statement made after reading it.

"Uh, no, um... Al - no, even His Highness wants to join the student council?

"Yes. I am very much taken care of by Cyril and Sophia, too. So I'd like to join the student council and work with you both."

This one seems to have the same motive as Alicia.

"... I told you, didn't I? He said he had enough men."

"Just because it's enough doesn't mean you can't increase it, right?

Ohh... His Highness Alfors instantly penetrated Fol's subtle nuances. Your highness would not have noticed so far, but can I say that it is growing...?

Nonetheless, His Highness Alfors folds.

"In the first place, is this one part of the exam? I mean, you're saying that the student council has cooperated on this one, right?

"Well, yes, you will."

This one case - that is, a bridge between His Highness the Alforce and the common denominator - refers to the request to improve His Highness the Alforce's position.

I guess it's because His Highness Alforce understood what he wanted to say. Foll affirmed slightly out of sight. But it doesn't change what I affirmed.

"If so, please include me in the student council. It's better for me, don't you think?

It's not a bad idea. It's hard to say no if you refuse to lead to an improvement in Your Highness's position while keeping it as an exam.

But that's it.

"Your Highness, that's not how it is. You'll be forced to do more than that."

Originally, we don't need to worry about that because we are both royal. But on the face of it is the second prince and the setting of a civilian on the edge of the Count's house.

Even though the misconception that His Royal Highness Alforce is an electorate is being solved because of this, he tells me that it would be troublesome if rumors arose that he used his position to make Fol listen.

Exactly the words seemed to have worked, and His Highness Alforth withdrew.

But...

"I don't care who I am. I want you in the student council. I'll do anything downstairs!

Now Alicia took over and stuffed it to Foll. It really doesn't matter who we are, it's just bad that we see a pure willingness to work together.

A troubled foul is turning his gaze on me.

I thought you had asked for help - no.

She is flirting with her thoughts at the time she tells her the results of the exam are passed. She's asking me if I'm aware of the situation.

I was wondering if you would really regret getting them involved.

Not without anxiety.

Alicia's admission to the student council will increase the likelihood that Sophia Lady will fall into darkness. Nor is there a zero chance that His Royal Highness Alforce will fall into darkness.

More importantly, Sophia, it could be the result of grieving the ladies.

But I want Lady Sophia to be happy in a real way. I don't want you to get lonely like living quietly in a boxyard that eliminates all dangers.

I believe this choice will do the lady good.

So...

"Isn't that good? A lot of people will have fun."

I uttered a magical word that pushed Foll's back.
