While I looked in the mirror and hardened my determination, a voice came from of the bedroom.
“Ojou-samaー! Where are you?”
“I am here! Sisie!”
When the flurried footsteps from the bedroom became more audible, the door of the dressing room opened with a bang.
“Ojou-sama! Are you okay to get up already? You don’t feel bad?”
Sisie, my personal maid, looked worriedly at my face with unbelievably large moist eyes.
I tried to clear away her worries and deliberately smiled a lively smile.
“I am alright. I feel good. More than that, I wonder what happened to the tea party…… Despite being the organizer, I have been impolite to collapsing in the middle of it.”
Yes, the tea party. I do not know what happened because I had collapsed, it was a large tea party to invite his highness the crown prince. I can not do something so rude like collapsing while being the organizer.
I suddenly became uneasy, so I decided to ask Sisie for the details.
Sisie sighed a breath in relief after seeing my energetic state and smiled a smile as to rea.s.sure me.
“Ojou-sama, It is okay. Oku-sama took control of the tea party, and it ended without any problem. Some time ago, I was worried about Ojou-sama, but now is when the guests are being sent off.” (TLN: Oku-sama is Madam, I a.s.sume that is Cosette’s mum)
As expected of Okaa-sama. My mother(Haha) is unexpectedly a beautiful and mature mother, after marrying father(Chichi) and became the mistress of an earl, she reigns in high society as an ideal lady.
When she married father who was a famous playboy, all the young n.o.blemen who were aiming for mother suffered heartache……
If it was mother who managed it, I have no doubts.
However, only one thing weighs on my mind.
“Well err, whatever happened to that girl named Angie. It doesn’t seem she was an invited guest……”
The encounter with Angie in the garden. That was the prologue event of the game.
Angie who strayed into the garden without knowing that is belonged to a n.o.ble, was engrossed in picking flowers only to be discovered by Remy-sama. When Remy-sama denounces the suspicious intruder, his highness the crown prince appeared and rescued Angie who was thrust away.
Because it was the prologue, it was a scene shown many times by my daughter who had run the game multiple times.
Certainly, I could not skip it…… Regardless of hope or desire, it was repeated until I memorized the scene.
But when I think about it, indeed it was bad for anyone to see Angie who entered a n.o.ble’s garden without permission. Moreover, during a tea party that was inviting royalty.
There was nothing wrong with Remy-sama’s response.
Even if I thrust her away………… I did not thrust her away.
She had fallen on her own.
In one hand Remy-sama is an aristocrat supremacist whose principles are arrogant, while on the other hand, she is a person of high pride, who always tries to be a model lady. Although she is a young child who hasn’t learned self-control yet, I do not believe Remy-sama will do such a thing.
Maa, to look down on commoners, I can not say that there is no such thing…… it will be very improbable I guess.
Nevertheless, his highness the crown prince treated Angie as the victim who was bullied by Remy-sama
Certainly, it would have flowed that way even in the game
I do not know if this is a game correction…… or if his highness does not have discerning eyes to see. With this event as the trigger, Angie has been deposited to a certain baron with his highness the crown prince as an intermediary, where she will receive an education before she will enter the school.
In other words, the game has commenced.
Six years later, when she is sixteen years old, Angie will enter the academy.
“That girl, she was accompanied by his highness the crown prince and was taken away. I was told in this case her mother’s illness…… it appears to be a pity it seems. Either way, I heard she had given custody over.”
As I had thought…… just as expected, I was disappointed and dropped my shoulders.
My one on one event happens right after entering the school.
Until then, I must build my foundation, if I can not gain victory in the match, after graduating from school. I will enter the women’s monastery.
Even in the game as a tutorial, I have only one life.
There is no need to become another’s stepping stone
There is six years left until school enrollment.
For the time being, what I do has been decided.
With determination, I turn towards Sisie.
“Sisie. Please bring me the slippers.”
