The Brain of a Duke Princess
Milady
"… Are you okay, Madam?"
Sebastian and Sei are both entrusted to handle the affairs of the fief and conglomerate. Tanya is now in the midst of investigating the Church as well as overseeing the movement of the royal capital, while Ryle and Dida are working together to strengthen public order in the region. Moneda is busy traveling back and forth between the bank and the merchant guild, and Rehme lends Sebastian and helps with his duties. Therefore, among the servants who saw me regularly, the only one available to visit me at the moment was Merida.
As he entered the room, I raised a lowered eyebrow.
"… Do I look okay to you?"
Showing an exaggerated expression, I replied with a cynical smile.
"I'm sorry for my rudeness. The way I see it, you should rest as much as possible, Madam. Here, please have some chocolate and tea. ”
"Thank you . ”
I took a chocolate bar. Yum, this is delicious. The effect immediately spread in my head.
"Say, Merida. I wonder, didn't you also receive various job offers from other places? ”
"I guess that's true, given the fact that I oversee an entire line of conglomerate teahouses. ”
Merida laughed out loud. It's been so refreshing to see this kind of cheer lately.
"Isn't there a place with a wonderful term as well?"
His eyes widened as if surprised by my question .. However, he smiled again.
“... Right now, I don't care about how others want me. It's all thanks to Milady that I was able to get this far. That's why I'm not interested in anywhere else. ”
"I saw…"
"After all, I don't really want to see Milady destroyed at this point. ”
He smiled broadly.
He smiled broadly.
“... I will try my hardest to live up to your expectations. ”
The preparations are almost complete, although we still lack one final piece. However, I will not be easy against this opponent, I will never do. I'll cut their way out completely and push them against the wall. Otherwise, they would take advantage of that and attack me afterwards. For that part.
"… Forgive the intrusion, Milady. ”
As I was immersed in deep thought, I did not realize that Merida had left, and before long, another character appeared in her place.
"…Decan!!"
"W-Why are you here …?"
"To help you. ”
“You want to help me, you say? You should have known our current situation better than others, yet you still decided to come regardless of that? ”
“You want to help me, you say? You should have known our current situation better than others, yet you still decided to come regardless of that? ”
Although it made sense for one to decide to keep his distance from the preached sinner, for him to come here was truly unbelievable. It was on the same level as helping criminals in Japanese common sense.
In reality, many people left the Conglomerate, and although I have withdrawn from the bureaucracy of the fiefs, protest letters asking me to relinquish the position of acting ruler of the fief still come every day.
"Yes certainly . So I thought if I could help you. ”
“But, to help sinners? For all you know, Darryl Church will even stare at you. For you to deliberately take such a risk .. it makes absolutely no sense at all! "
Wasn't this due to my exhaustion or so. Although I was calmer at the time with Merida, my tone with Dean was unfortunately more aggressive. Although I soon realized it, I could not stop the words from leaving my mouth.
“But it makes sense. Didn't I tell you before? I'm yours, Milady. If you can't depend on me at such times, when can I be relied upon for you? ”
Hearing Dean's very clear reply, I lost words in an instant.
"That's it…"
“Moreover, not only can you depend on me, but I also have what you are looking for right now. ”
"That's it…"
“Moreover, not only can you depend on me, but I also have what you are looking for right now. ”
I was speechless as he quickly handed it over and gave the following words. Don't tell me, he managed to secure the last part, and moreover, bring it here in the end. Not even the feeling of surprise that came to my mind, I was only deeply moved by the action.
"… So, what's your strategy, Milady?"
He grinned cunningly. Already knew what my actions would be, yet still asked me about it, how evil he was.
“This is as you expected .. Furthermore, thanks to this you managed to collect for me, all the parts have started to fall into place. ”
"That's a relief .. So, when will the opening ceremony be?"
"You're really knowledgeable ... Geez, how do you know about that?"
“I happened to hear it along the way. This has become a pretty interesting topic in the royal capital. ”
