The Brain of a Duke Princess

Young Madam, Fainted

With Dean helping out and shortening the time it takes to work in area management, I recently had some free time to go into town. As I thought, I feel refreshed every time I go to town.

"A, Dean! I wonder if it's okay if we make the orphanage our last stop? ”

“If it is Alice-sama's wish. ”

By the way, when I was heading into town, I invited Dean. Since the job ended early .. I thought of a way to return it, it suddenly crossed my mind.

Initially, Tanya was strongly against the idea. While saying, “To really suggest bringing someone whose character is unknown. "But because of mother's recommendation and grandfather's presence, I got through it.

By the way, even though Dean was unfamiliar with the kids, he was quite good at handling them. Therefore, compared to me, he is more popular. … When I thought about it, I was quite frustrated, but after seeing the happy faces of the children, I decided to hold it in.

“Onii-chan, onee-chan. Are you gonna come here again? "

The boy approached us and looked up at us. Ahh, very cute …!

"Of course . Right, Dean? ”

"Yes. Therefore, please be a good child and wait a while. ”

When dusk came, I, who was enjoying myself to the fullest, left the orphanage to return home. Un. I had a good time today. Let's do our best again tomorrow.

Although I rested from time to time when mom came to visit, but as usual, there were no holidays. However, when Dean came, I had just taken a day off and came to town.

Or rather, when Dean was here, the work suddenly finished early, as a result, it was fine even if I took the day off. As I thought, holidays really matter.

"… Alice-sama …"

"Since we're already inside the complex, it's okay if you don't call me Alice anymore. ”

With my reply, Dean laughed lightly.

"Sorry . Young lady, why are you working so hard to that extent? "

Due to a sudden and unexpected question, I stopped walking.

"Yourself, aren't you also working hard?"

“It's different for me. I work because I have to do it to live. However, the young mistress was different. As the daughter of a Duke, a daughter of the Prime Minister ..Even if you don't work, can't you still survive? "

Yeah, of course it's true. Among the nobility, there were rarely women working. To protect the house and manage the household is the duty of the wife. Even in our region, butlers and other employees are arranged to manage our homes and territories.

"But I was given a position of power from the God's nobility by father. And to work according to our position, doesn't that mean to be noble? ”

"With all due respect ..the image I have of nobles are people who do nothing but exploit the taxes of the people from their territory, and continue to live that way. Moreover, the young mistress was able to do what the nobleman had done and leave everything to Sebastian-san. ”

“That method, it's not as if it never crossed my mind. But as I thought, since I have been given responsibility .. although I am still inexperienced, I am thinking of giving my best. And that's also an opportunity. But now…"

“That method, it's not as if it never crossed my mind. But as I thought, since I have been given responsibility .. although I am still inexperienced, I am thinking of giving my best. And that's also an opportunity. But now…"

I gently look at my hand. … Very, very small hands. It held the lives and futures of the fiefs, but it was very unfit to protect them, so I laughed while looking at myself.

“When I met the children in that orphanage, I thought that even though it was me .. No, because it's me, I can do it. When I do my best, if it improves people's smiles even just a little .. If people can find happiness, wouldn't that be a great thing? ”

"…You are right . ”

When she gave a beautiful smile, I was blown away for a moment. … It's dangerous, too dangerous. Since Dean's smile had destructive power, I really had to be careful. I became a little embarrassed, so I quickly thanked everyone and headed to my room in a hurry. Ah, really .. I'm not that kind of character.

… And then, two days later. At the end of Dean's contract, I passed out for the first time since I came here. Until now, I have always taken care of my health .. so why?

But because of my high fever, I couldn't think of myself by thinking about things like that, so I slept.

The next time I opened my eyes, the room was dark. … Do I sleep all day?

Maintaining one's health is the basics of the basics when it comes to work. I fainted and then spent the whole day sleeping .. I still have a way to go.

"… Q&A. ”

Although my voice sounded a bit hoarse, my throat seemed to be fine. … Anyway, I feel thirsty. I feel uncomfortable because I sweat a lot and my clothes stick to my skin.

When I called, Tanya who was waiting in my room immediately arrived by my bedside. And his facial expression looked a little angry, and he seemed to be crying.

"… Please give me water. After that, please bring me a towel dipped in water and squeezed. I want to wipe my body. ”

"I understand . ”

He might have prepared it. He immediately gave me a glass of water and I immediately drank it. … Un, it seeped into my throat.

After that, Tanya immediately gave me a wet towel to clean herself.

… Tomorrow, I wonder how much work has piled up .. Just thinking about it scares me. Dean had already returned to his parents' house by the end of this morning. Ah, I shouldn't have rested yesterday .. Although I would have thought so, it's too late to regret it. Anyway, today I will fully rest, and begin to fall asleep.

The next morning, while my body still felt heavy, I dragged myself into the study. Ah, I was wondering how many documents had been piled up .. While I was thinking that, I opened the door and found the usual number of documents on the table, it's a little less than usual.

"Eh …?"

While I was wondering why, with the right timing, someone was knocking on the door, and the one who came in was Dean.

"Dean! What's wrong? Shouldn't you have left yesterday morning? "

"Madam is young too, is your body okay now?"

"Yes nih . Because I could rest for all yesterday. In addition, this number … "

“I finish everything I can with my authority. All that remained were documents and reports that required the young mistress' approval. ”

“Begukah .. Thank you. However, Dean. Are you doing okay? I mean, aren't you delayed by a day? ”

“I finish everything I can with my authority. All that remained were documents and reports that required the young mistress' approval. ”

“Begukah .. Thank you. However, Dean. Are you doing okay? I mean, aren't you delayed by a day? ”

“The young lady is not feeling well, there is no way I can go like that. I'll leave tomorrow. ”

"… I'm really sorry for causing trouble. ”

"It's okay . Because it's something I do myself. Well, please take a look at this. ”

After Dean placed the documents on the table, he left the room. When he left, I roughly looked at the documents he left on the table. … No special problems. I was troubled because there was no problem.

“…. Haaa.. ”.

I accidentally breathed a heavy sigh. … Not good at this. If this keeps up, I'll end up depending on him. In terms of work and other things. … Like that until now. Since he was around, I felt relieved. I'm counting on him. … At the same time, I want him to stay here.

However, it's not good. … I don't want to feel like this anymore. I realized it at that moment with the situation with Ed-sama. One day someone will betray someone else. For that reason, I believe that I should stand on my own two feet.

It's always like that. I will receive help. I will rely on others. If this guy, I can hand him over to them, and I start trusting them. However, on the other hand, how much can I leave to this person .. and how much I can trust that person, I draw a line. Because that's the case, it doesn't matter if they betray me.

… Nevertheless, he tried to destroy that line. She slowed down crawling into the depths of my heart without permission, making me want to leave everything to her. That's why .. I'm afraid.

I strongly denied that thought and shook my head from side to side. … Don't think about it any further. By not thinking about it and wearing a hat .. before one realizes, the thought has already disappeared.
