The Brain of a Duke Princess

Reunions

First, it was a visit to Marquis Langley's House.

Since this was a private event, I thought that I would not feel nervous .. But after thinking that it had been a long time since I met Mimosa, I started to feel nervous. After I arrived at Marquis Langley's house, one of their servants took me to the living room.

"…It was a long time ago . Iris-sama. ”

In the living room, Mimosa was already there, sitting while waiting.

“Thank you very much for your invitation today. ”

I said hello and sat down. With that time, apart from the maid of a woman, Mimosa asked all the servants to leave the room.

"… Let's stop the greetings here .. Iris, it's been a long time. I'm glad to see you look so excited … "

I wonder what happened to the solemn atmosphere from before, she returned to her natural self. Mimosa Langley's. He was my classmate at the academy and my best friend. As for her appearance, with her eyes slightly drooping, she looked gentle and cute. Since my facial features look a little tight, there is a contrast between us.

"I'm sorry for worrying about you, Mimosa …"

"Seriously. When I was resting due to a cold, I didn't think you'd be expelled .. That's why I keep telling you to be careful of those people. ”

Mimosa actually warned me back then. 'Don't get too close to a Baron's daughter, Yuri, and don't care too much about her. 'However, when I saw him getting closer to Edward-sama, I tried to intervene and was faced with uncompromising retaliation as a result.

“I've been contemplating. At that time, I did not think that the other party would plan this far ahead and retaliate to that extent. ”

"You are right . If it was them that long, I don't think they would have thought of going that far. However, when those people were associated with the child, they changed a lot. ”

"Yes ... Mimosa, did you notice it too?"

"Aren't you the only one who didn't notice because you were too crazy with Edward-sama? With just a glance, I saw everything. Hey, Iris ... To be honest, I'm scared of that girl. ”

"…Fear?"

Although I started to smile, but after seeing the serious expression on his face, I pulled my smile. When I came face to face with her during the party, she looked like an innocent girl with the allure of a child, so I didn't really think about it.

“I'm scared because I don't know what he's thinking. Besides, she seems completely innocent under the guise of a child.

I mean, if you look at those people .. Until those people meet the child, they will act according to the training given to them depending on their individual status, do you think they will behave in such a way?

It was because they understood their own position that they were more vigilant compared to others who might want to take advantage of it, they immediately and readily fell into the palm of the child's hand and moved as he wished.

And since they themselves were not aware of the situation, it was caused by the intelligent actions of the child. Even their arrogant behavior, I felt suspicious and wondered if there was any meaning behind them. ”

“... Did you not think too much about it? I mean, his actions and manner of speaking may be just his natural self. ”

In this situation, I found it hard to think that it was that kid's technique. That's what I think of when I consider something.

… That said, there is also a part of me that is completely in denial. One of the reasons is because I feel uncomfortable is regarding the words Mimosa used to describe the Baron's daughter, Yuri, when she was in the academy. The other reason was because I thought that the things he was talking about were too extreme.

"… Is that so .. Really, let's stop this topic. ”

Although Mimosa did not look convinced, she could not find the words to refute him, and seemed to reluctantly agree.

"In addition, Iris. How are you today? "

After changing topics, Mimosa returned to her calm self and asked. Mimosa is, how should I describe this .. She is very feminine, and the atmosphere around her feels very motherly.

"… Even if you ask how I am doing .. Exactly as I wrote in my letters. I guess you could say that .. I'm busy managing a conglomerate, and getting to my neck in fret politics. ”

“I want to hear all the details about it. Isn't this amazing? You opened a big shop here in the Royal City, and aren't the most popular cafes also part of the Azura Conglomerate? My mom and I are big fans of their beauty products, and I also love their candy, especially chocolate. ”

"In addition, you become very beautiful ... Did you do anything special?"

When I saw her looking at me with dreamy eyes and started laughing, I grimaced a little.

"I-I didn't really do anything special. I don't have much free time. … Mimosa, too, what have you been doing lately? "

“I haven't done much either? … After graduating from the academy, since I am not engaged to anyone, I have stayed in the Royal City and undergone bridal preparations until I found a partner, but with the current situation, I don't 'I don't want to immediately find a partner .. so I'm already a little bored. ”

"Oh …"

"Oh …"

Surprisingly, I totally understand. Especially the second half. At this time, with the active struggle of the factions, as one would not know which side their partner might join, it was better to delay than to make a bad marriage.

"Well, everything's fine. Because I'm not ready to get married. This is a great opportunity to reflect on myself. ”

If anything, I think Mimosa would have received a lot of offers to get married. But I'm sure it's not just Mimosa, many Houses who are part of a neutral faction have trouble finding a mate.

Following the flow, I started drinking tea, but my hand holding the cup suddenly stopped. Together with some scones and sandwiches, there are familiar chocolates carved with lilies.

"I'm sorry about this, Iris. Although this is one of your store products .. as I said before, this is one of my favorites. ”

“You don't have to apologize. I'm so glad you like it so much. That reminds me, I plan to check out the shops here in the Royal City ... Does Mimosa want to come along? "

"Could you be talking about the Azura Conglomerate store?"

Mimosa's eyes started to sparkle.

“Because I plan to visit affiliated stores as well, it might be a bit difficult. After all, I have time left here in the Royal City .. So I thought of taking this opportunity to see the state of the shop. Of course, since this is an inspection, although there will be many people there, it cannot help if we do not bring many guards for security purposes. ”

Since this is an inspection, we can't take that many people. However, as the daughter of a noble, the Mimosa House might not agree with her leaving without a number of guards.

"How many people can come?"

"Up to two people .. I'll take Ryle and Dida, and Tanya. ”

“If Ryle-san and Dida-san are going to be with us, I don't think dad will be against it. ”

"Up to two people .. I'll take Ryle and Dida, and Tanya. ”

“If Ryle-san and Dida-san are going to be with us, I don't think dad will be against it. ”

“Yeah, you seem to trust both very much. ”

“That's natural. Their superiority had been known throughout the Kingdom .. It was natural to believe and rely on their strength. ”

“I wonder if that's the case. … If you successfully receive permission, please send me a note. ”

"Yes of course . When should I send it? "

“Around this week. ”

"I understand . ”

After that, until sunset, we kept talking about our days in the academy, and the current fashions in the Royal City. As the saying goes, time passes very quickly when you have fun, and if Tanya does not say that I should go home immediately.

I have a positive opinion of Mimosa and think that she is quite intelligent. And based on his assessment of Yuri, even I would feel fear.
