Chapter 98

Chapter 98: 98

Me – Raini Sian’s life is full of waves.

At first, he was a civilian, and since the loss of his mother, he has lived as an orphan. I wondered if she had been taken by her adopted son as a baron’s maid, and now she was born into an exclusive maid with Her Majesty the Queen.

It may be a glorious birth street from people’s point of view, but it’s not the birth I wanted. It was just that the result of my choosing would emerge in my choice. I am in this job because I wanted to repay those who owe me.

Besides, I have secrets I can’t tell people. My identity is a vampire. A monster who sips man’s life, who was born at the end of the obsession created by man’s madness.

There are few places I can live with such secrets. And even in the sense that I have someone I want to repay, my only place is away from the palace, where there is Lady Anis and Lady Uphilia.

But lately, I’ve been feeling like I want to exhale in that resting place. That depressed me terribly.

“… ha”

Getting out of my mouth is a heavy sigh. The cause of melancholy is a bunch of letters stacked in front of me.

The letter, which steadily increased with my increased chances of ascending to the royal castle as a samurai of Uphilia, is likely to build a mountain already.

“Again, you’ve got quite a few”

“Ah, Master Ilia. Good morning.”

As I roared in front of the mountain of letters came Iliah, my colleague in the outhouse and senior and teacher of the maid. It’s the same faceless look, but I know very well that if you get used to it, you’re a kind person. There are places where you can see things.

“It’s hard to reply when this is the only number…”

“Right. Sometimes they ask me out directly, and I say no.”

I drop my shoulders disappointingly. This pile of letters that arrived to me are all letters from men who are offering to make me their fiancée.

I usually sleep in the outhouse, so I try to get my letters to the outhouse. I used to arrive at Baron Cyan’s mansion, my parents’ house, but one day my letter to you was turned out of the palace to hang up on me for consulting with your father.

Your father’s consultation is because I had a massive engagement consultation. Besides, some of them are offers of engagement from top noblemen who can’t think of a meeting coming in a regular baroness, so your father was totally in trouble.

Baron status among the nobles is low. Among other things, your father is actively involved in spreading magic, and he has a good memory from Anis because of the presence of me. Now the Ministry of Magic and Science is also increasingly being called as a tester of magic props, which is preparing the ground for birth.

That’s where the problem was with my existence. I am very close to Master Uphilia and Mr. Anis and I am not that tall. More and more men are pressing for engagement with such eyes on me. Even if you refuse, it’s bad for your father if the other person is a high-ranking aristocrat. Said it would be hard to say no.

Ennis, the Lord of the Outlying House, who heard it, will make sure it reaches the Outlying House, and will write a refusal reply with Master Uphilia. I’m honestly a little sorry for feeling like I’m causing you trouble.

“Since Halfis got married, there’s been a sudden increase…”

“That means the people who tried to powder Master Halfis are coming to me, right?

“I would say yes.”

I think that the increase in the number of visits to my engagement is also heavily influenced by the marriage of Master Halfis.

Now as Countess Anti, Master Halphis is active in the Ministry of Magic, unfortunately demonstrating that blossoming talent. For the title of Annis and Uphilia’s apprentice is worthwhile.

Many people want to get close to Uphilia and Anis in the midst of a big change in the way the country is. But you two are deeply bonded, and there’s no gap to get into.

Then my age, affordability and low status make me dressed up. Everyone leans their necks to see if Algard and the others forgot what they could rub. I’m sorry to be the two dancers in that case anymore…

“Don’t you have it in Illia?

“It’s not as good as Raini’s, but it arrives fine. It’s incinerated without even reading it.”

“Yep…? Is that okay? It.”

“I’m not willing to take it, and whatever my parents tell me, it doesn’t matter what kind of damage my parents suffer”

I laugh bitterly at Yilia, who says it all the time. I zero my sigh as to how easy it would be if I could do that. Unlike Master Ilia, my parents’ home is important. That’s why I don’t want to rub it.

I knew I’d have to look through the letter and say no, but then I’d have to ask the Anis and the others. I’m so sorry about that.

“Hey, Miss Raini! Hope you’re in a good mood, you’re a stranger here!

“This is Count Mallow’s son. Good mood.”

Ugh, and I paste a smiling mask by hiding the expression I went out to the table. A man of good width called out as he walked through the royal castle.

Son of Count Mallow, this man is an aristocrat who works for the royal castle. He’s going up to the castle with you as an assistant to your own father and helping you with the job.

Apparently, I don’t actually know much about Count Mallow’s son just because I asked him about it in a biography. I’ve heard rumors like that from fellow samurai that they’re after “the handyman”.

And he’s also one of those people who sent me an engagement offer.

“Please stop calling me other manners. You don’t mind me calling you Paulette, do you?

“Play. I’m only a samurai.”

As far as I’m concerned, I don’t want to get involved with each other, but I try not to break my smile whining inside.

Looking completely unaware of my insides, Count Mallow’s son shook his cheeky flesh in an upbeat mood. You won’t be good at people you don’t like by accident, and I laugh inside out.

“That’s itchy, you are! Speaking of which, about the other letter…”

“… a letter? Excuse me, what is this about?

“You haven’t checked the contents? I was hoping maybe because the reply had arrived in the name of His Royal Highness King Anisphere… You seem very fond of His Royal Highness King.”

How can you not give up there! and inside, screaming I maintain a vaguely grinning look.

Most people give up if they give these declined replies at Lady Anis and Lady Uphilia about their engagement offers, but it’s a headache that occasionally these persistent people come up.

“I also know very well that Her Royal Highness Sister Wang will like you. She’s a lady with good instrumentation, good looks, and no shame in putting her out anywhere. But isn’t it a good time for Miss Raini to think about getting married, too?

A gaze that seems adhesive entwines me. My stomach is getting as uncomfortable as it has gained weight, and my smile is about to break.

“I am only an adopted child. My parents have also told me that I don’t need to inherit the house, so I haven’t thought about marriage yet. I would like to serve on the side of Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the King.”

“I think it’s a fine effort, but that makes you both worried, doesn’t it? It’s about giving up one of your happiness.”

“Happy, are you”

Happy marriage, huh? I honestly don’t think so. The fact that you broke up with your mother because you hid my presence to keep your father out of trouble overtakes my mind. And I think of the people in the school that I’ve driven my life crazy, starting with Master Algard.

To me, I can’t believe that’s happiness. I knew the roots were civilians, and I had no connection to the duty of nobility. It’s about me, but I laugh bitterly.

“I’m glad you care. But right now, I’m so happy that I can’t help it. I have people to serve. I can work here. So I thought it was a marriage…”

“That’s an unbearable story! You make a man cry, Miss Raini!

… Yeah, you really are.

Oh, we need to leave soon. It’s time to keep your smile on the line.

“I’m sorry, Count Mallow son. I’m on my way to work, so let me get back to you.”

“Ah, Miss Raini!

Count Mallow’s son reaches out to me as I step away from him. Someone broke in between me and Count Mallow’s son the moment I thought they were going to grab my arm.

“What are you doing?

“Ah…… (a), Dear Ilia”

It was Master Ilia who went in between. He goes in between and gently pushes me to get the distance.

Seeing Ilia enter between me, Count Mallow’s son turns to Ilia with a breathtaking, frightened gaze.

“Are you obsessed with chatting with your lords in the middle of your work? You’ve been born a long time, Raini Cyan.”

“… sorry”

“The royal castle, that is also to raise awareness more as a maid accompanied by Her Majesty the Queen. Count Mallow, my son, I’m sorry, but may I pick her up?

“Ah, ah. Well, now I…”

Count Mallow son leaving early. I looked back at me once, but soon I couldn’t see that well-width back.

The only place left is me and Master Ilia, and I’m going to lose my powers unexpectedly.

“Ha, that helped. Dear Ilia…”

“It’s a coincidence. You were lucky, are you okay?

“… I think I’m a little stuck in my breath”

“No matter how many times you push away, your persistence is inexhaustible.”

Phew, and the exhaling Ilia looked very good at that trick. Those eyes will see a cold color and your spine will freak out just a little bit. I seem a little upset.

“I wish I could do well too, but I’m not very good at it…”

“Because Raini doesn’t seem to be able to hit people hard. All this is unsuitable.”

I will go, and my legs, which had been stiffened up like they were rooted because of what Ilia urged me to do, will finally be able to move.

Proceed along the corridor of the royal castle alongside Master Ilia. The people passing through this hallway are sparse, and no one pays attention to us. To the extent that we meet each other.

“Why did Ilaria go to the royal castle? What can I do for you?

“Yeah, there was talk going on about adding personnel to the outhouse. So I met with the chief samurai of the royal castle.”

“Huh? Are you out of the palace?

“Yeah, there’s talk going on about letting people in and out in addition to the samurai. For example, you’re a cook. Since there was no fundamental solution to the dietary situation of Master Uphilia, the story was raised as to whether or not to make the meal to be taken in the royal castle a meeting with the nobles. It’s a suggestion that the meal that Ufilia wants to eat is made by a dedicated cook outside the palace.”

“I see…”

“Besides, I’m not going away with inspections yet, but there will be more opportunities for that. Only me and Raini are slightly short on exclusivity at that time. Originally, we didn’t have the manpower in the outhouse just to keep the results of the study of magic secret so that Master Anisphere wouldn’t have much contact with people, and we’re not the only ones around the outhouse. You don’t have to let them live out of the palace, but you might get more people in and out.”

“We have a Ministry of Magic and Magic, and it’s better if we don’t just manage the results of the study of magic out of the palace.”

“Yep. Whatever it is, things will change a little bit from now on.”

In Ilia’s words, I find myself convinced but uneasy enough to seep out.

If there are more people, we have to build new relationships again. But I’m starting to think other people are scared. Originally, I wasn’t good with people, but I think that became evident after I found out who I was.

Was there anxiety on the table that it would work? Peek into me with the eyes that Master Ilia seems worried about.

“… Raini”

“Oh, yes! What is it!

“Fatigue is on your face, for a while I will take your place exclusively for Master Uphilia. We also need to go up to the Imperial Castle. Take your time in the Anisphere.”

“… sorry”

I shouldn’t, he said. Even if I think so, my heart doesn’t follow me. It may have been more burdensome than I thought to be swayed with a conversation that turned me into an engagement.

In the end, Ilaria took over my work. Uphilia told me that Ilia would explain it to me, so I headed off to the palace in a slightly heavy foothold.
