Odd Eye's
Part 11's. An ego
... ⁇ OODIE...
"Then what about yesterday? Is the lady in the fight for Crown Prince and General Xavier? What kind of romance drama? I'm curious!" Ask Annette enthusiastically. Sadness was spreading steam in the air. Disappeared without a trace.
His sparkling eyes looked at Hanaya who was smiling clumsily. He thought the two had forgotten, unfortunately not. Rozetta even now looked at him demandingly.
Breathing out, Hanaya said "The arrival of the Crown Prince is indeed to inform about the official proposal that duke Nestra will send in-depth
"I suspected! Does that mean you're getting married? It's great!" Sela Annette enthusiastic.
Rozetta then rebuked her letting Hanaya continue her story "While General Xavier only came to apologize and thank her"
Annette's lethargic breath caught the attention of the two "What's wrong?"
"That's all?" Hanaya nodded with doubt. That's all it happened, isn't it ? Then what else does Annette want?
"Very unexciting! There are no romantic scenes, I think there will be fights or sharp notes from two dashing men fighting over one woman" he lamented. The girl squealed a little when Rozetta nosed her forehead.
"Stop reading romance novels. Your imagination is too much! You seem too contaminated!" The rebuke made Annette pout, looking at Hanaya asking for a defense.
"I don't think so. Isn't that right, lady?"
A small smile Hanaya answered, "Lady Rozetta is right. It's good if you balance it with other useful readings. My advice is that"
The girl's shoulders slackened. Viviana is supporting Rozetta.
"Look? You should also balance with other readings! You're so much more mature than us, so it's acting like an adult, even if a little" Hanaya chuckled at Rozetta's nagging. They seem to be very close. Rozetta also started to show the other side.
"I just want a romantic atmosphere in the real world. Why is it so hard?" Annette's murmur flicked Hanaya.
Like Annette, Hanaya is too long for a happy ending as in the original novel. That's why she's in the thick of grief so oblivious-not all as beautiful as it's written. Sometimes the difficulty far exceeds the expectations.
"Lady Viviana," Hanaya stared at the invitation, Rozetta was confused.
Realizing Viviana's puzzled look, Rozetta explained "There is a meeting of nobles who are called Duke Nestra every month. The event gathered many potential nobles to serve as royal councils. If you want to be Queen, this is the best place to gain popularity. Even though the Crown Prince loves you, without a social foundation and a good image, it would be difficult to be Queen"
"The person you should be aware of is lady Madelin, no one has beaten her yet in the debate. Then I'm alone, Rozetta if the topic is raised foreign language or outside area. Then sir Marcus, he's the one you need to watch out for, that guy's a pain! He is always looking for a gap in one's opinion" Rozetta said seriously. His concern made Hanaya crumble.
I didn't think anyone cared so much.
"But why are you in?" Annette was confused.
"Because everyone in Podium Discussion knows people who stand out like us"
"And in the debate later, I will not give up on the lady just because we are close. Therefore let's compete with the supportive lady "Hanaya welcomes the hand of Rozetta with a confident smile.
"alright. Let's compete supportive" Hanaya never expected to be met with friends and rivals like Rozetta.
"Then what about me? I didn't you take Rozetta with you?" Annette asked ignoring the formalities, she and Rozetta were already very close. Viviana is now included in their scope. So the call formalities are not needed.
Flicking Annette's forehead, Rozetta said, "You're just going to be dizzy listening to a complicated debate. It'll be troublesome if you pass out"
Once again, Annette pouted.
"If lady wants to join learn more, then you'll be there one day with us"
Annette nodded. "All right, I'll learn!"
"Spirit!" Hanaya channeled the spirit. Rozetta just shook his head looking at the two. In my heart, I hope Viviana doesn't lose her Annette character. It would be very confusing to be caught between two childish people.
***
Hanaya's mood improved. He will prepare well.
True what Rozetta said, remembering again the conversation last night with Viscount Lances, if you want to survive Hanaya can not just rely on Javier's love. It will end or disappear at any time. Therefore, Hanaya needs a strong foundation to cement his position, this is only as preparation - if only Javier betrays.
Hanaya begins to realize the changing plot in the novel is moving towards the reality of real life in this age. That is, Hanaya and Viviana figure live. This change of flow signifies the reality.
So in this life, Hanaya will make sure everything is perfect. Tomorrow's debate must be won. Hanaya will continue to live as Viviana. In this second life no one will fail.
He must still end happily!
"Miss, the bath water is ready" Hanaya stepped up, Brianna took off her dress and Hanaya submerged herself in a tub filled with warm water and fragrances.
"Have you come back, Brianna?"
"Already miss. Viscount has returned, he's on a break"
"Did you send what I ordered this morning?"
"Ginger tea and honey? Of course, miss. The master even said thank you to you, sorry I was late in conveying that"
"Brianna, can you get me a dress?" Brianna's movements that add fragrance to bath water came to a halt.
The woman looked at Hanaya seriously.
"Are you sure you'll follow the Podium Discussion ?"
Realizing the doubts that haunt Brianna, Hanaya said firmly "Yakin, this is the first step. If I want to be Queen then this is the best move"
Brianna's breath made Hanaya chuckle "It's exhausting to have a miss as hard as me, isn't it? But if it's my only choice" this time, Hanaya wants to get it all. By strengthening his charm, he will bind Javier deeper. That way there will be no pain, the ending will be the same.
Viviana, will be happy until the end of her life !
Hanaya will take advantage of the man's attraction, turn it into love and then strengthen his axis. That way, only Hanaya was the one who stood out in the eyes of the man.
Isn't this age, smart women attract from all sides ?
"Is there a message from my mother?"
"Viscountess will be back this afternoon for dinner with the miss and the Viscount"
Hanaya smiled happily.
"All right"
***
"How was your visit to Lady Annette's residence? Pleasant?" Viscount asked.
Hanaya nodded with a wide "Funny smile. We talked about a lot of things and also got closer"
"Some thing I want to say"
"Say, son"
"Lady Rozetta invited me to attend the Podium Discussion together and I accepted it" the Viscount's and his wife's face turned shocked.
Hanaya herself asked, is Podium Discussion that bad until everyone seems very surprised.
"You're gonna follow him?" Hanaya nodded at Viscountess's question.
The couple threw gazes as if sending telepathy through eye contact.
Viscount Lances finally said "Viviana, Podium Discussion is not what you think it is
"Dad, sorry I reproached. But I'm an adult, after debutante this should be the step I've taken. I understand my father and mother's concerns, but I have learned a lot as well. That's why I accepted Lady Rozetta's invitation. I know where my limits are. If I can't, I won't accept" Hanaya said firmly.
"Especially with the Crown Prince's proposal yesterday. I can't be queen just by taking refuge in my family name. That position requires a clear social status. And you don't have to worry about anything, I'll stick with my status and social support. I hope you and Dad understand"
The viscount realized that was the truth. But letting Viviana into politics is something she doesn't want to admit.
"Do you want to be queen?" Viscountess asked. He had felt this ambition of his daughter from the very beginning.
"As an ordinary girl, I just want to look worthy of someone I love" unfortunately the truth is, Hanaya wants everything to end happily. His selfishness binds the heart, not wanting to return to feeling the painful liver poison!
That's enough! And not anymore!
Therefore, the perfect character is the target!
The reluctance from his father's eyes made Hanaya's heart sliced. But the inflated ego covers up reality. Hanaya still depends and upholds the happy ending that is stuck deep in the heart. Therefore, in this life he must make everything perfect!
"Trust me. I wouldn't be able to step up if mom and dad didn't support me. Let me prove that I am worthy" and with that appeal, the Viscount and his wife can no longer forbid.
Viviana did not want to stop. And as a parent, her second task is to support her daughter's every decision.
"Mom and dad agree. But, don't force yourself, okay?"
"I understand. Thanks for understanding"
Like anything, there is no time to back off! He had to step forward, maintaining the happiness that was the flow of his life!
Whatever happens, he has to succeed !
