The Brain of a Duke Princess
"Early Setup"
"… Sorry that you came here this way, Minae-san. ”
“T-Not at all! Well ... I just did what I was supposed to do, Fief Lord-sama … "
In front of me was Minae-san, who showed a very grateful attitude to my presence .. That's right, I called her to my place as soon as the excommunication was announced. This was the initial arrangement to suppress the impending outburst of discontent among the villagers.
At first Minae-san was surprised, because she did not know that I was the daughter of the Duke of Armelia until then. Moreover, when he found out about the current situation of our exchange so far, his attitude became even more mandatory. It was our fault .. he thought. Predicting how this would happen, I must be a character ruthless enough to explain everything to him in this way.
"I'll be honest about the reason I called you here .. I want to ask for your help. ”
"Y-Yeah. Whatisit? I will gladly fulfill it as long as it is still within my capabilities! "
“I should probably remind you of a certain bitter incident not too long ago. How do I say …? I'd like you to spread the story about the church being sold. You see ... that's a bit overrated. In short, the plot is: the place where the holy church is located – even though it used to be where we live – unfortunately sold to some ******** involved with human trafficking. We were threatened to leave and suffer constant harassment. When Iris learned of this situation, she caught the ******* that and moved the tattered church – due to her abuse – to another location, then found us a new home. The new church has not yet opened, but rumors say that there will be a grand opening ceremony soon. At that time, Iris would also appear there. ”
Hearing the contents of my heart, Minae tilted her head in confusion.
"You want me to spread a story like that?"
"You want me to spread a story like that?"
"Religion . You will probably attract a lot of unwanted attention .. No, eight to nine out of ten is for sure. You will receive a lot of hostile and suspicious gazes as well. Even so, I want you to spread this to as many people as possible. ”
“If that's the case, then yes of course! I will do a lot and talk a lot from now on, and make sure that it will be heard and talked about in every corner of the fief capital! ”

Several days have passed since I asked Minae-san for help. The rumors had spread so wildly, to the point that no one noticed it. Needless to say, not everything is good news – there is some skepticism and further rumors, and the original story is played with many variations through gossip. Nevertheless, the main point was successfully conveyed. Plus, many people have shown interest in the opening ceremony of the new church.
When I remember what happened so far, my mind goes back to reality.

"A-What's so …?"
“Please take care of my identity from the children. If they start calling me Lady Iris when I come to play with them .. somehow, I feel there is a distance between us and it will make me sad. ”
"You'll take the time to visit us again ?!"
“Of course. I look forward to seeing the recital of the children. Plus, I haven't given you a new picture book or told you a new fairy tale, you know? ”
"… Thank you very much, Mrs Iris. Children are waiting for your appearance with joy. ”

"… Thank you very much, Mrs Iris. Children are waiting for your appearance with joy. ”
“I'm glad to hear it .. Therefore, let's get this business done quickly. ”
So I got off the horse carriage.
Today is the celebration of the completion as well as the opening ceremony of the new church. To ensure my participation goes smoothly, busy Ryle and Dida – do their duty in various places – and Tanya accompany me as a current bodyguard.
In front of my eyes was a newly built towering church. Although it was supposed to be a holy place, it gave the atmosphere of the demon king's castle where the hero headed.
Then, first of all, to appease the citizens, I must march there.
