Chapter 55's
...* * *...
Although she was only thirteen years old, Evan was a little creepy when she looked determined and expressionless. Although he was still a little shorter than Seymour, he was rather tall anyway.
“Let me warn you now. Do not send such an unpleasant letter to Laria from now on.”
Unlike Seymour's gentle features, Evan had a sharp impression that matched his indifferent expression.
"Oh, did you read the letter?"
Saying so, Seymour smiled with his eyes without any sign of surprise.
“I hope you are not offended. You two got married at an early age. ”
I leaned on Evan, smiling slightly.
To be honest, I was somewhat aware of the surroundings. As expected, the eyes of the people in the banquet hall were quietly focused. The gang, including Vietti and Bern, were also staring at us with attractive expressions.
First of all, we are in a position that is easy to notice because we are basically the organizers. And, above all else, Seymour Letucia.
"Fixed…"
Seymour spoke slowly, glancing at Evan and I.
"Rather than a couple, you look like siblings."
'Wow, that baron really crossed the line—'
With this in mind, I realized to myself that he had adapted perfectly to the noble noble system in this world. Once, He even reprimanded Evan for ignoring Radian as an ordinary person…
'He was originally a democratic citizen with the idea of equality for everyone!
Once a person rises to a higher position, he or she also easily adapts to the system…
'Stay, it's great that I'm a high-ranking person.'
If you're in Rome, do what the Romans did. I don't have to follow, especially when I feel very comfortable. After all, Seymour was the male lead who finally showed ambition to win the Princess over from Evan. Perhaps, that was why he did not look intimidated in front of her at all.
'Actually, it is true that we are like siblings ...'
When the atmosphere seemed uncomfortable again, I thought of coughing once more.
"I can't say it," Evan replied in a very cold tone before adding his words.
"You keep talking about my age, then, should I make a baby to be seen as a married couple?"
[T/N: I would like to comment how this thirteen-year-old said 'make a baby' here because the next line is so funny, dear. ]
'What…? What are you talking about? Why is the baby out of here?'
My eyes became as big as plates. Meanwhile, the people who saw us were also shocked. The same thing happened to Seymour.
"…sorry?"
“There were a few times I almost made a mistake, but I've been careful–Upk!”
I hurriedly shut Evan's mouth.
“Do not worry, as long as you do not hold hands, you will not have a baby. Actually, I almost made a mistake in my sleep, but I will be careful, so trust me.”
Whatever Evan thought, obviously other people wouldn't think the same. Moreover, despite the fact that she might be a cute thirteen-year-old inside, she had quite a high face value.
'Ivan, you're gathering one bad past. He's the one talking about the dark past, but why do I feel ashamed inside of me…'
"However…"
I smiled awkwardly and continued, “I don't think I can dance right now. We beg of you to welcome other guests.”
Seymour glanced at Evan with a puzzled face before smiling at me again casually.
"I understand."
'Yes, don't get entangled for anything, okay?'
“But if, just in case, Lady Laria puts her next hobby in jewelry..”.
I swallowed dry saliva.
Jewel..Surely, that is the next area I will explore. Of course, the time is near for Seymour to have fun with jewelry.
"I think we could have a really nice conversation today."
'Ah, what should I do? Now, I have come to the point where the male lead guessed my move based on his own steps.'
First, the jewelry was cancelled. I have to consider the exact value of everything and leave.
'Really, I had to let him do that alone.'
So, I decided to stop my next move with tears in my eyes. As I turned around with Evan, who was about to pull out the sword, I could see a girl standing haughtily alone in the corner of the banquet hall.
'That's it.'
No one had spoken to her since she arrived at the banquet hall—a girl my age with purple hair and blue eyes.
Kate Lynn Eldsphy's.
Already attending the Marchioness class, I got acquainted with her. Of course, I asked him to attend this banquet. Instead of Vietti, I have chosen her as the next Queen of Southwest Socialites.
Why did I choose him over standing on the front line? Because I didn't know when I was going to the Capital, and most importantly, I had to disappear at the right moment, making it difficult for me to come forward.
The hidden influence behind the Queen is the right role for me.
Duke Icard is the Empire's greatest villain. Clearly, there would be limbs scattered all over the place. So, after I disappeared, he could have been determined to find me and kill me.
I also had to be completely prepared to never get caught. Obviously, if I just covered his eyes and ran away like that, I would be caught immediately.
"I have to be really ready."
Therefore, from now on, if I tightly control Southwest's social circle, all this will be the foundation for making Kyle Dart Lavonis' character unrealistic.

Since it was not a large-scale banquet, the atmosphere of meeting and talking was naturally created after a few dance songs.
“Young Master, aren't you the winner of the last youth swordsmanship competition? I was there at the time.”
“I still remember the last duel. How do you think about lowering your body at that point?
Especially next to Evan, would-be knights interested in swordsmanship gathered. Even if he answered insincerely, everyone was amazed at him and asked many questions.
"Evans."
I whispered to him softly.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom for a second, and I'm gonna say hello to Miss Kate."
“Mng, Young Miss Marquis Eldsphy, and I took a lesson from Miss Kate's mother. It will be uncomfortable if you come, so stay here. ”
“….”
Although it seemed like he wanted to follow me, I smiled quickly and added, “There are so many people who want to talk to you about swordsmanship. You are absolutely amazing. I'm so proud of you.”
Five or six knight candidates listened to each word of Evan with great value.
“I'm so proud of you. You did it well. My husband is the best.”
“Yah, hm..”
As expected, he began to answer their questions again.
I stopped by the bathroom for a while, then went straight through the back door that Serena was pointing at.
"Miss Laria, here we go!"
Serena, who was waiting in the park, gestured to me. I rolled up my dress and rushed to Serena. As I went from villa to greenhouse in a remote place, Sven, dressed as a gardener, was sitting on an Oklasia tree.
"For a long time no see, Miss Laria."
Seeing me, Sven jumped down from the tree.
“No one around. You don't have to worry.”
"Well, everyone in the villa was mobilized for the banquet."
I slumped into a chair in the greenhouse. On Sven's shoulder was a black cat I'd seen before. It was in the Capital, to think you would have brought the cat all the way here …
Looking at him, I think Sven is really a very sincere butler.
“First of all, let me say thank you. Our guild members are making fun money thanks to you, Miss Laria. ”
Sven refers to madeleine.
I answered with a smile.
“If someone hears, they will think you got it for free. This is a win-win because I receive commissions as well. Please proceed to make a good deal.”
Then, I crossed my arms and walked straight.
“I have to go before Evan finds out. Just tell me what you want.”
"I'm sorry?"
“Why are you so active helping me?”
Hearing my question, Sven chuckled, “It was just because we liked Miss Laria. Don't you think it's just a simple favor I'm doing for you? ”
"Of course not."
Immediately, the black cat on Sven's shoulder jumped up and sat on my lap again.
“Meong~”
“I think he likes me. He also sat on my lap the next time.”
Serena, who was looking at him, put her hand on her mouth with a surprised expression on her face.
"Oh, that's really true ..."
'Is this cat sitting on my lap?'
Thinking that, I stroked the cat's black fur and spoke to her.
“You look very picky? You don't seem to get along well with other people. ”
“Meong~”
Sven swept his chin, remained silent for a moment, and sat politely across from my position.
"Miss Lara."
“Mmh.”
“As you said, we're running out of time. Let's get straight to the point. I'm here because I want to be honest with Miss Laria.”
"Okay, honesty, that's good."
I nodded my head coldly. Well, I don't plan on being completely honest.
“I dare to judge Miss Laria's actions... Do you plan to escape the Duchy of Icard? Is that why you bought land under the name of a loan and saved?”
"Ngh, that's right."
“Can I ask why?”
"Do I really need to voice it?"
"Perhaps, is it related to Princess Elani?"
I looked at Sven without answering.
“Maybe..you're thinking of Princess Elanie as Prince Evan's partner.”.
Sven continued to speak with the expression of someone looking at the gambling card first.
“As many people thought before.”
“...True,” I replied carelessly. “The wedding of Evan and Princess Elani was the most important card for my father. And, if he wants to use that card, he will be of no use to me.”
He even came all the way to Borotna for me. Sven seemed to know everything, but there was no reason for me to hide it.
“I think maybe Dad will get rid of me if it's worth it. That's why I tried to find a way out before that. ”
“...How will you go?”
“Truly eradicated. I don't want to die.. I just want Princess Elani and Evan to marry.”.
Hearing my answer, Sven did not look surprised at all, and rather, it seemed like he was expecting my answer. Finally, he approached me slowly.
“How about after that?”
"Just ... live in hiding, I guess?"
“Isn't that too boring?”
“Umm, so?”
I'll hold on until Evan and Elanie get divorced, so I answer half-heartedly.
"Maybe…"
Sven asked carefully.
“Why don't you try something like conquering the world as a hobby?”
“...Eh?”
