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

My name is Emma. I'm almost 11.

I'm a maid of honor apprentice serving the Marquis of Rosenberg, but I was born and raised in Slam Street. Until recently, I lived a life where I couldn't even eat.

I share a piece of bread with my family - I lived like that, and if I noticed, I work in a separate house in the Noble Town of King's Capital, in the Marquis Rosenberg family, which is also in first class.

If you told me about it before you came here, I think you'd be mad not to tell me a dream story that didn't even happen. That's about as good luck as it seems unlikely for a child who grew up in Slam Street.

A merciful Sophia lady who took me and your brother up growing up in slums. And, Sophia, the gentle Dr. Cyril who cared for the lady.

Thanks to both of us, we are now able to eat delicious meals every day. So I'm desperately trying to reward those two...

A separate training room in the King's Capital of the Marquis of Rosenberg.

"Emma, sophistication is a repetition of an unmistakable movement that stretched your nerves all the way to your fingertips. Act more confidently."

"Yes, Senior Rouchet"

Senior Luche cautioned me and I flaunted myself. Senior Luche, who took on our educator, is a sweet sister, but he gets tough as soon as he learns how to be polite.

Me or your brother is a humble child born and raised in Slam Street. I've never thought of it that way myself, but I'm reminded of it when I live here.

That's why I have to overshadow such a handful. To that end, I can only thank Senior Luche for haunting our hearts and harshly stifling us.

Sophia, because that's what the lady admitted - and it's not uncommon for people to think that there's no one to criticize for face to face, but it's just useless to educate.

I kind of know because I lived in Slam Street reading other people's complexions.

But that's why Senior Rouchet's tough eyes are directed at my behavior. Under the circumstances, I cannot move confidently.

Because when I grew up in Slam Street, I couldn't be asked to make any eye-catching moves. Because it was normal to dwindle and live without getting into the eyes of others.

"Emma, that hasn't changed."

"also, sorry"

"What are you going to do with an apology when you're telling me to be confident"

"Sorry, no..."

I feel sorry for my inability to meet my expectations and I'm about to cry. When I leaned down in tears, I was gently stroked in the head by Senior Luche, who said, "Let's do this for today's training".

"Emma. You're a hard worker. In this meagre period of time, I would say that I have often acquired courtesy. Now, you're faster at manners than Roy."

Your brother improves faster in combat training to escort your daughter. But politeness seems to improve faster for me than for your brother.

"But that's why your odd attitude seeps in."

"... how can I feel confident?

"Ugh...... right. Will you still step on the number of places?"

"Number of places......?

The servants who work for the Marquis are mostly junior aristocrats, not-noble but prestigious, or luxurious people, and they're experiencing parties, etc. by the time they work here.

So by the time you work in this mansion, they say it's normal to be used to the place accordingly.

"But I..."

"Right. You don't have that experience. I can't even go to some fancy place to train... and I've come up with something good."

Senior Rouchet grinned at the garlic.

Senior Rouchet is a gentle and demanding teacher, but his nature is to run free. I had a very bad feeling about Senior Rouchet's laughter when I heard it that way from Dr. Cyril.

And that was right.

- The school in Wangdu, where noble children gather.

On its premises are school buildings, auditoriums and training rooms. In addition to those buildings, there are a number of party venues and buildings used by leading aristocrats and factions.

An indissoluble level when it comes to the aristocratic city. The mansion, which is at the top of such a compartment, still hosts a gorgeous tea party today.

It is a faction tea party created by Lady Sophia, classified as a commoner.

To that tea party, I was somehow made to attend as a maid.

The other maids told me to never come forward, but I never dreamed I'd come forward without them telling me.

Sophia, lady, and when you say that friend, it may sound easy, but that friend is just noble lady for everyone.

My neck flies with one coarse phase - it would be your word if I had to.

Senior Luche said, "It's okay, if you fail, Lady Sophia will follow you," but that's a big problem at the time you let the Lord you serve follow you.

I had stretched my spine so painfully from earlier on that I was stiff with a making smile.

If anyone were to peek into my face, I would have noticed that my eyes would be circling in the cold sweat flowing through my forehead, if anyone were to peek into my eyes.

- Senior Rouchet, it's a mess!

Air, I'm air.

That being said and upright, there was an elegant tea party going on in front of me.

◆ ◆ ◆

In aromatic tea, a number of rare treats. The ladies smile gracefully at the luxury that can only be tasted at a Sofian tea party.

They are the so-called ash-covered princesses (Cinderella).

Classes also exist in aristocracy, and it is not uncommon for children to wield their identities innocently. The children of lower aristocracy are therefore fated according to whether they can obtain the asylum of higher aristocracy.

Ferris, a first-term member of the Viscount Arken family, and Laksh, an Earl of Titania family, for example, are excellent but thus attend school from the elementary school.

However, nobility attending from the elementary level is predominantly senior nobility.

The Count is classified as a senior nobleman, but among them a lower one. Further down, the Viscount goes without saying, they had a very difficult day in class A.

But - no, that's why she was able to attend Sofia's Tea Party from the first day of middle school, when she was flooded with groups she could already do at the elementary school.

Faction created by a marquis maid of great power.

Even though I say it makes a lot of sense just to have it put into it, the Sofians are instantly of great influence and even cordial with the royalty.

It has now become a force to compete for first place and second place in the middle.

Those who have floated so far are treated as core members of that new faction.

The number of enemies from the surroundings increased more than before, but the number of those who did something directly decreased significantly. And more importantly, much more than before, there comes together those who seek to get along.

This time, it was exciting on such a topic.

But there is only one person with a worrying face. It's Ferris, the Viscount's daughter. The maid who serves her is a jerk to her attitude, but she doesn't notice herself.

"By the way, what's wrong with Mr. Ferris? You've been sighing for a while now, is there something bothering you?

Sophia inquired when she noticed something was wrong with Ferris. In that whispering care, there is another.

If Sophia, the lord of this faction, only asks why she is sighing, it can be a stuffing question as to whether she is unhappy with this tea party.

To avoid it, Sophia added, is there a problem?

Though highly educated children as noble blood drawers, it is unusual for children who normally go to secondary areas to show such far-fetched care and interaction.

However, it is rare or irrelevant when it comes to Sofia alone.

Each time the servants have taught us the meaning of Sofia's far-fetched rhetoric, the factions are only a little more conjectured.

Therefore, Sophia's willingness to blame Ferris was communicated to everyone. And Ferris himself also realizes that he was forgiven for being rude.

"Also, I'm sorry. We had a little heavy talk..."

"Heavy story, is it? If you don't mind, why don't we talk about it? I may not be able to count on you..."

"Well, that's not true.... Um, can you hear me?

Sophia responds with a fluttering smile.

Passing the entrance exam at the top and chairing the nobility course A class, she seeps in the reliability of being available for any consultation while still looking young.

Ferris exhaled enviously at her grandeur like that.

"Actually, I've been invited to a party at the Count's that I haven't had much interaction with."

Sophia leaned her neck only slightly, but the other ladies lit their eyes with the colour of understanding.

It is generally regarded as an honor to be invited to higher nobility than myself. Because even a lower nobleman than himself would say that he was judged worthy of inviting to a party.

All the more so if you were someone you weren't being kind to.

But - the ladies who belong to the Sofia are now invited from all over the place. It is also a nobleman above ourselves, and many invitations are difficult to refuse at the same time as it is an honor.

If that was their own charm, they would have been happy. However, many of the reasons why they are invited are none other than because they are core members of the Sofia faction.

At last, Ferris was invited to the party as a result of the Countess' eyes on Ferris as a stepping stone, who wanted to join the Sofia faction.

"Of course, I'm not going to imitate anything that would annoy Master Sophia. But for me, I'm a top nobleman, so I'm really in trouble about how to refuse..."

The lady snorts in the sigh of Ferris. Seems like the other ladies have an idea. Sophia noticed that, she still knocked her neck off again.

"Why don't you just take it, even if you don't worry?

"Take it......? But the purpose of inviting me is probably to connect with Master Sophia. If you get stuck wanting me to introduce you after being invited to the top nobility, I can't say no very much."

Invite a nobleman inferior to himself and do him a favor after a grand hospitality. I mean, you're doing this so far, you're not gonna say no, are you? It also constitutes a threat.

Plus, you can say no when you're invited to a party. - Regardless of whether or not you can actually say no, a single option is given.

You'll never get away with it if you join us in time. That was the common understanding of the ladies.

But...

"You don't have to say no. If you ever get stuffed with power, if you talk to me through it, there's no problem."

Sophia said she would take care of things.

In time, if you don't like someone, buy safety in exchange for taking over, and if you like someone, add that you can edge them in exchange for taking over.

"It is very important for us to stay connected to the powerful aristocrats who will eventually be in the social world. What do you do without taking advantage of the opportunity?"

"So, but doesn't that bother Master Sophia?

The asylum-seeking warrants for Sophia Rosenberg took it for granted not to bother Sophia.

But...

"I am ready to protect you from the day I formed the Tea Party gathering. So you don't have to worry about that. If you have any trouble, rely on me. Right?"

Sophia smiles calmly.

At the age of twelve, he already has the style of Marquis Lady. The ladies who are members of the Sofia faction reaffirm the reliability of their faction's representatives.

Therefore, they thought this equally.

It is really important for us to stay connected to the powerful nobility that we refrain from debating. That's why I wanted to take care of my friendship with Master Sophia more than anyone else.

Thus, it strengthens the bond of the Sofians.

◆ ◆ ◆

The tea party is over. Most importantly, when I was suddenly sent to a tea party, the pressure and stress made my stomach ache.

Anyway, the tea party is over and we are returning to a separate home at the Marquis Rosenberg house. It was supposed to be Senior Rouchet riding the same carriage as the lady, but somehow I got on board.

I stare at the side of the lady sitting next to me. Though only two years have changed with me, Sophia, the misalignment of the lady is so confident and beautiful.

And that's not recent, it's been like this for years.

"... Emma, what's wrong with you staring so jizzily at my face?

"And if you'll excuse me,"

"I don't mind. Isn't there something you'd like to ask me?

"... Huh?

"I've been looking at you like that ever since."

I wonder how far the lady is prospective.

At the same time as I was surprised, I also thought this was an opportunity. It is usually unacceptable for a mere servant to speak to the Lord he should serve. Except now that he's spoken to me.

"Actually... Senior Luche scolded you for being more confident. So I was wondering how I could always act like a confident Sophia lady."

"… Confidence, is it"

Sophia, the lady just dropped her eyebrows like she was in a little trouble.

"Also, I'm sorry. That was an unworthy question for a minute. Forgive me."

"No, I don't mind. It's just... I'm not sure, so I was wondering how to answer your question."

"... not sure, is it?

I blinked.

She is a marquis lady and has the standing behavior she deserves in that capacity. I have also heard that he achieved top grades and was a dignified freshman delegate in school entrance exams where nobles from all over the country gathered.

It just sounds like a joke when a lady like that tells me she's not confident.

"I'm sorry, but I can't believe you're not sure about your daughter, etc. Wasn't the lady grand enough for a tea party?"

"That's not because I'm confident. I'm just acting like that."

"You're just behaving, are you?

Act like you're confident, even though you're not really confident.

I don't even understand the words I'm saying, but I behaved with dignity in front of the ladies in line. I can't believe it's an act.

But, Sophia, the lady smiled that it was true.

"Because I'm really thrilled to be able to answer your question successfully, right?

Sophia lady with a gentle smile is calm lady. With such grandeur, who would actually believe me when I was told I was thrilled.

So much so that I thought maybe I was being made fun of.

But...

"Cyril once told me. Marquis, let not your emotions be revealed. You have to be able to behave gracefully, no matter how anxious you are on the inside."

"... so the lady can behave with dignity?

If you can just act like you were told to behave with dignity, you won't have a hard time. To my question like that, Lady Sophia slowly shook her neck to the side.

"At first I found it difficult. To behave dignified, you just need to have the confidence to follow through, even if you fail. I can behave with dignity because I'm confident that I can manage in any situation."

"Yeah, right"

I can't act grand if I'm not confident. Yet Lady Sophia says she behaves with dignity even though she is not confident. The lady's words are contradictory.

Do I have an idea that doesn't make sense to me?

"You're educated by Luche, aren't you?

"Yes, it is. Senior Luche has taught me a lot."

"She usually behaves the way she does, but she can really be very attentive, right? If you make any mistakes, will you follow them well?

"... Yes. Seniors are always helping us."

That's what happened at today's tea party. Senior Rouchet stood around well so that I didn't have to move when I was being a dick.

It is no exaggeration to say that I owe it to Senior Rouchet that I did not have to play the lapse.

"Pfft. You're with me. That would be fine."

"Uh... what do you mean?

"If you trust Rouchet, it's not hard to behave with dignity. 'Cause you can believe she's bound to follow you, right?

"... it"

I can behave with dignity because I am confident that I will keep it to a minimum of harm even if I fail. In other words, no matter how unsuccessful you are, you can behave with dignity if you are confident that you can take the point.

Sophia, the lady wants you to take a leap and think about it.

I mean, no matter what kind of failure you make, Luche will follow you, so you're saying you just have to act grand without worrying.

"Such a thing..."

"I know how you feel. You think I might fail and cause trouble, don't you? But if you behave with dignity, you'll lose more."

I believe that even if I fail, seniors can do something about it, beyond the problem of not being able to behave with dignity, meaning that it is better to behave with dignity to meet the expectations of seniors.

Most importantly, just because you understand it, it's a different question of whether you can practice it. I can be a little relieved to think that seniors are watching over me, but the anxiety that it might still annoy me doesn't go away.

But still, it seemed more dignified than ever.

"Thank you. I know, Miss Sophia. I don't think I can do it right away, but I think I'm going to be able to act just a little dignified"

"It would have been nice if it had helped. But be careful. Because there's only one flaw in that idea."

"Cons, is it?

"Yeah, if that person is going to help me, I'm going to be very anxious if I don't know if that person is going to help me, although I think anything is going to be okay."

To avoid that, rooting is important so that the person can help - and Lady Sophia told me.

I asked that. I had a mundane question.

I rely on Senior Rouchet. But there are many things that even that senior Luche can't do. For example, noble opponents who wield power will not be able to do so to Senior Rouchet.

Even combat training, no seniors.

Well, then...

"Sophia, the lady is behaving with dignity because who are you counting on, what?

You can always behave with dignity, Lady Sophia.

Who does such a Sofia lady trust? Lady Sophia hinted at the inquiry. From that sweet air I think of the gentle teacher's face.

"Maybe..."

"Don't tell Cyril, okay?

I put my index finger on my lips and my husband smiled like a mischievous child.
