“….”
I gulped, waiting for Lisa's words to follow.
“Although such a person will not come. They will say something like, they will go to the Capital.”
I don't want to meet Seymour, probably out of guilt. I just want to avoid seeing each other as much as I can.
'Well, I've scooped it up ...'
[T/N: Spooning is the same as complaining or stealing. ]
I haven't been able to find a way to reply to the male lead with an apology.
"I understand. I hope he doesn't come, then. ”
As bad as it was, I decided not to pay it back.
"If you send an invitation, you may have to welcome the guest before the banquet for now."
“Tuest?”
“People who want to get acquainted or explore first often express their intention to visit.”
Neither Duke Icard nor Lisa seem to care much about territoriality. I let out a breath. There were two things he was worried about.
First, the fact that my family has fallen completely. And, secondly, the reputation of the Duchy of Icard has not been very good lately. This was because as Duke Icard gradually gained momentum, the word 'power mad' also slowly came out.
Lisa is worried. Despite this, they cannot treat me carelessly because of my status as Duke's daughter. They could scratch my nerves because of my birth.
“Do not worry too much.”
I replied nonchalantly, but her expression did not subside in the slightest.
"MST. Matilda used to be beaten up in the community.”
"But I'm not Ms. Matilda, Lisa."
“Yes, still, you are being kind and gentle very similar. Even if you take Olivia's class, will you change your nature that quickly?”
He exclaimed and sighed anxiously once more before raising the next topic.
"Well, the second news is, Young Master will come along with the banquet."
"I understand."
“He sent his luggage first, but only arrived now. I'm setting up, do you want to see it? ”
Since there wasn't much to do, I agreed to follow Lisa to Evan's room. Since I chose the room with the best view in the villa, my room was rather small, so we couldn't use the same room as her.
As we entered the room, I could see the servants slowly dismantling. I looked around and found a box of clothes.
"Hmm…? Did he send it wrong?”
"Yes, that must be weird."
Lisa nodded, staring at the box I pointed at.
"Why is he just carrying a red tie?"
They have almost the same red color. So, at first glance, one might think that he wears the same tie every day.
“Ah, how else. It's already here.”
Well, since I wouldn't be the one to be cursed for wearing the same tie, I just carelessly bowed my head.
...* * *...
At Duke Icard's residence, I didn't do anything, but I'm quite busy here. At Borotna, I was a representative of Icard.
So, as Lisa mentioned, I started writing and sending out invitations one by one.
"This is a detailed map of the nobles in the southwest region."
Lisa, like any good waiter, has been working on data even though I don't specifically require her to do so. He added, “This is a big family history. It could help us start a conversation with them.”
“Thank you, Lis. I'll do my best."
I answered with a smile.
Just as Lisa was about to leave the room with a proud face, Serena entered the room, saying it was time for my treatment.
“...Looks like it's not clothes for medical treatment.”
Serena wore a full-frills dress, fancy headdress, and large earrings. He shrugged as Lisa spoke disapprovingly.
“Am I not beautiful? Everyone says I'm beautiful. They said that I had left a stereotype of clothing for a medical doctor, which should only be white.”
"So, what does a fancy dress have to do with medical care?"
“This is good for Miss Laria's visual health. It is better for him to see beautiful things.”
Although Lisa was a calm and capable servant and could not defeat Serena's helplessness, she still had a powerful energy within her to retaliate.
“And you only carry the same equipment every day. Are you treating the young lady right? ”
"A master doesn't have to blame the equipment."
[T/N: This means that a professional should not use the tool as an excuse for their performance. ]
Knowing that it was true that my condition continued to improve, Lisa could not deny it. As before, I did not constantly cough up blood, my thin body gradually gained weight, and most importantly, my plump cheeks slowly turned red.
"This is the data you mentioned, Miss Laria."
"Thank you."
The data received from Serena was also information from nobles in the southwest region. However, it was slightly different from the official material Lisa gave.
“Guild members do their best to dig up information.”
It was a report filled with scandals, rumors, and messy partnerships. For me to step in social circles, I have to know the background rumors first.
"Yes…"
As I checked all the messy gossip in the report, I marked the check inwardly.
“This is what I want.”
Unlike the data Lisa gave me, the social status of this area, which I did not know, was clearly visible.
“By the way, Miss Laria..”.
Serena tilted her head and asked.
“Is there a reason for you to work this hard? Isn't being Miss Laria pretty good?”
"What a stupid thought."
Listening to my words, he blinked at my firm answer.
“At the end of the day, everyone will think strange if they don't see your fictional character named Kyle Dart Lavonis.”
If my whereabouts are discovered, Duke Icard will take me out in secret because the dead don't speak…
So I have to hide.
“Hm... it's true.”
“Yes, I have to work on this step by step from now on.”
So, I explained to Serena my plans ahead in detail. After hearing my plan, he sighed and nodded.
“The bigger picture is no joke. From now on, I want to call you Laria, the painter.”
“Ya... It would be hard to say that when you actually see my picture.”
I just rejected the title painter.
At the time, I added, "Well, this is also different from that, and besides that ..."
"Huh?"
“It's just fun.”
"Our…?"
“Become an influential figure.”
Saying so, I grinned mischievously with a finger on my chin.
“It feels good to make your own decisions and work according to my strategy. I'm kind of suited for that. ”
The social circle in the southwest region is now left to my liking.
...* * *...
Even after midnight, lights leaked from the windows of the Duchy of Icard in the Capital.
Initially, it was known that the lights in Kallaudin's office would not turn off until late at night, but now, even Evan's room was also bright until late at night.
"Master .. why don't we just call it a day?"
"I thought you said we'd finish this book next week."
These days, Evan hasn't sent the tutor home till late.
“Yeah, yes, next week.”.
"So, let's finish today."
Classes continued until almost midnight, but Evan showed no signs of fatigue. After exhausting one, the next day another tutor would stay late at night. Evan, who takes classes late every day, picks up a pen after sending the tutor away.
[Laria, how are you? How is the banquet prepared? ]
It's always easy getting here.
[I think I left a little earlier than expected. ]
The problem is the next part.
[The tutors finished early, saying that I had a good understanding of all the lessons. ]
Evan silently stared at his handwriting, sighed, and squeezed the paper. He feels too demeaning.
Starting to pick up the pen again on a new piece of paper, he stopped again in the third row.
[The successor class is expanding a little faster than expected, so there is still time left.]
After rereading the sentence for a while, Evan started crashing the paper again.
Writing it down like this, there was a chance that Laria would not have expected the successor class to finish early because it didn't really matter.
In fact, not infrequently his teachers praised his learning ability. Although the problem now is how to write about it without sounding like it is showing off.
[I wonder if my hard work in the academy paid off because I finished my success class a little earlier than expected.]
'I also won the first prize at the academy. Perhaps, that's why it's easy for me to succeed this fast as a successor.'
…Is this too implicit?
Complained all night. Evan finally finished the letter by dawn.
