He said quite a lot, but it didn’t make sense.

“Customer requests are secret, but the lady is the owner. And the place the princess is heading to is Arjan territory.”

therefore.

Cecilia is alive.

He pretended to be dead in the first place.

I tried to tell you last night, but I got depressed and cried myself to sleep.

So, to summarize.

‘Give me back my tears.’

* * *

Aden, who was sitting alone in his office, sighed.

‘I can’t believe that child was crying…’

My very precious daughter.

Although I heard that he became friends with the princess.

“Ha.”

I should have told you in advance, I can’t wake up a sleeping child.

“Please take care of me starting today.”

It was difficult to get angry at the way he lowered his head and spoke in a soft voice.

“What on earth are you doing walking around?”

“Did you send a letter?”

“Ha. Didn’t you just send me a letter saying you were coming today? That too a little while ago.”

Although his glaring gaze was quite cruel, Cecilia smiled as brightly as a flower.

“Me too. I wanted to come sooner… . Still, I had to make sure I processed it.”

“As soon as you became friends with my daughter, you pretended to be dead. You’re so mischievous.”

“Ah. that… . Were you worried? That’s actually a mistake. As soon as I saw him, I unconsciously asked him to become friends, so no, um… .”

I thought she was an old person, but I couldn’t say anything more because she looked so embarrassed like a girl of her age.

“If that child gets upset, it lasts for a long time.”

“Ah. What should I do? Would you… get angry?”

Seeing her flustered makes me want to pick on her.

Was I this playful?

I feel like I’ve become quite rounded after spending happy days with my daughters recently.

Arden leaned back in his chair and spoke leisurely.

“Her Royal Highness must take care of that.”

“I guess so… . Still, the Duke allows me to become Marian’s friend?”

“If that child wants to, I have no intention of stopping him.”

* * *

I returned to my normal daily life.

I open my eyes in a soft bed, watch Seria and Maria study, and fall asleep while being comforted by the maids.

And when I wake up again, I eat a snack and go for a walk like this.

But there was something different from before.

“Marian?”

“……”

I, who had been walking in silence despite being called several times, suddenly stopped.

Then the footsteps that followed also stopped.

‘Seria didn’t do this either.’

Do you think this is goldfish poop?

I turned around with distraught eyes. When our eyes meet, I see a girl with a bright smile shining.

“Cecilia.”

“Are you forgiving me now?”

“No? You’re not particularly angry, are you?”

The day after I cried, Cecilia came.

“Ha.”

Two princesses are at my house… It’s almost confusing whether this is the imperial palace or the duke’s residence.

“Huh? Why?”

How can I say that I am ashamed of myself for making a mistake?

But even after seeing his younger brother, whom he thought was dead, he only follows me around.

It’s not that I don’t like it… .

Sobbing. Now I can’t even sigh in peace.

Cecilia put her arm around my shoulder from behind.

“Marian.”

“Huh?”

I was in a position as if I was being hugged, but at that moment, there was a rustling sound in the bushes next to me and someone jumped out.

“Meriaan!”

I stared blankly at Maria, who burst out of the garden with a bright smile on her face.

She was holding a basket full of something in her arms, and her father and maids were seen smiling shyly behind her.

Maria shouted loudly.

“Marian, let’s go on a picnic in our garden!”

“Maria. It’s not good to jump out after killing someone.”

When I look up, I see Cecilia speaking firmly but smiling at me, wondering what’s so good about it.

but… . The assassin was real, and it’s strange to be angry at the kid who survived and escaped to my house.

But dad is different. If I had known, I should have told you in advance.

furthermore.

‘Maria, Marian, this is Cecil, who will learn magic from me for the time being.’

‘ha?’

At that time, I was really angry. My father, who looked triumphant as if he had prepared a surprise gift, and Cecilia, who smiled awkwardly, were not even polymorphs, but were using illusion magic, so I recognized them the moment I saw them.

Of course, the friend I thought was dead was alive.

It could be a gift.

But at that time, after hearing the news from Nazar and kicking my blanket vigorously in the morning, I wondered how it would have felt to hear such words at lunchtime.

Dad was just joking, but is that really a joke?

“Marian, I can feel the wall.”

Dad approached me with an awkward smile.

“You know why.”

“Why would my perfect daughter do that?”

“Don’t talk to me.”

“Wan. wall. I can feel the wall.”

“…….?”

What is that, is that a pun? Did you say ‘perfect’ at first and then emphasize it again because I didn’t understand?

A man with two daughters would be a man, but to make a man laugh with an appearance like that… .

‘Just one week. I’ll have to stay sulky.’

“Marian? Are you angry?”

I saw Maria holding my father’s hand and carefully connecting it, and my father smiling brightly, wondering what was so good about that.

I burst out laughing.

‘It’s peaceful.’

* * *

The sound of various objects breaking is heard.

“Phew. Lamia. I could make you one of my close associates.”

Esteban, who had finished venting his anger, spoke in a relaxed voice.

“Is that so.”

“You can be a concubine if you want.”

“……”

“Well, a girl who is too easy isn’t fun.”

Lamia, who had lowered her head like an obedient animal, slowly raised her head when Esteban left.

After making a mess of his dead sister’s room, what he said to his entourage… . ‘Is this also a marriage proposal?’

Looking at the view of the room, I sigh.

“Ha. Everyone stop crying.”

Lamia touched her forehead. The maids’ children, about 13 to 14 years old, were sobbing and crying.

“Ha, but… really, it’s too much.”

“Ugh… I want to go home.”

‘How ironic.’

Until just a few months ago, they were Cecilia’s maids and the children were squealing about how handsome Esteban was when he passed by.

Perhaps because Esteban thought he would soon become crown prince, he visited the palace without a master every day and behaved mischievously.

‘…Or is it because of class?’

The emperor tripled Esteban’s magic class time.

It’s going quite Spartan.

My original dirty personality has become more like a dog.

Although most of the princess’s maids are from Korean-American families… . Does this mean there is nothing to hesitate about anymore?

“Everyone, clean up the broken things and rest.”

“Yes… .”

“Ha.”

Cecilia, are you resting comfortably?

‘I just want to go back to the estate.’

Lamia was also a 14-year-old girl.

* * *

“Of course, meat is the best. Meat sandwich!”

I held the sandwich in both hands and ate it generously. Even though it wasn’t freshly made, it was magically warm and juicy on the inside.

“Hehe, Marian, do you like meat?”

“Yes, you eat a lot too! That’s how you grow bigger!”

“Foot, while Marian is smaller.”

My dad had an urgent schedule so he left right away, but he wasn’t lonely.

rather.

“Marian, try some of this too.”

“Marian, are you going to eat what your sister gives you?”

Maria speaks as if she is competing with Cecilia, who presents a sandwich with juicy shrimp.

“……”

Seria tried to imitate the two people and stopped when her eyes met mine.

No, what is this?

“Cecil is so… . If you are a guest, please be treated politely and do not interfere in our family’s affairs.”

Maria?! The side profile with a cool smile is pretty cool, but why is it suddenly turning black?

“Maria always does it, why don’t you give in a little? Marian would also want a mature and kind sister like that, right?”

Cecilia speaks calmly in a soft voice that is not typical of a child.

“Kind and mature…”

Maria turned her head, thinking over the words.

“Are you my sister?”

“Marianne sometimes seems to treat me like a younger sister even though I am her older sister…”

That’s right… I only feel young because of the memories of my past life.

This can’t be helped.

“I’m hungry!”

I opened my mouth and spoke disgustingly like a child.

‘hmm. it’s good.’

* * *

When I returned to the room, I rolled on the bed.

Not only Ceria but also Cecilia is in our house.

The original is already at a level where not even a shadow is visible.

Actually, it’s best not to get involved in things like succession competition.

“…Umm.”

Of course, I have no intention of holding Esteban’s hand, but it’s a bit strange to begin with. Cecilia is a genius who mastered the 7th Circle at the age of 10.

Esteban is not as incompetent as the male lead, but it is no exaggeration to say that the talent of the two is the difference between heaven and earth.

But in the original, Esteban became the crown prince.

To put it simply, we are now caught in a rotten fairy tale…

“…I ruined it.”

Thinking about it makes me feel sick. Is it true that I have stress-related gastritis at this age?

No matter how much I said I would create an Arjane family that would surpass the empire, it would be a bit difficult to get into a fight with the imperial family…

Well, if you can’t avoid it…

Original work.

“I will destroy it.”

“What are you destroying?”

I closed my eyes and mumbled, and was so surprised that my heart stopped.
