episode_0059

Recently, my ears were itching because of the ladies whispering about me.

I didn’t care about reputation as long as it didn’t criticize my family, but I bullied Yuri because I liked Ian. When I heard that rumor, I felt deeply angry.

‘She hit on me?’

Even though I wanted to explain, I was in a state of self-destruction at the Academy.

And doesn’t it feel like you’ve lost by complaining about something like this?

Why me in the first place?

That’s something only regretful people do, but I had nothing to regret.

‘I just feel a bit bad…’

The love for other people’s stories is the same in every world.

Also… I and Cecil are dating. There were rumors like that…

I guess it’s because they’re friends, after all.

As for the rumors related to Cecilia… .

‘I don’t feel particularly bad… .’

“Hmm.”

I cleared my throat, feeling somewhat tickled.

Still, the more I think about it, the more strange it seems.

Is that really what a heroine who is kind to everyone and has a head full of flowers looks like?

In the original work, Yuri’s actions were just like that, but her true feelings were not depicted.

Most of her monologues…

‘Prince Esteban… is kind.’

Was that… really sincere?

In the first place, the process by which Esteban obtained the glass never resulted in a box of kindness. Well, Yuri probably didn’t know…

At least the glass I’ve hit in person…

To begin with, Yuri and I have no particular connection. At best… that’s all I encountered in theology class.

Actually, at that time, didn’t Yuri intentionally fall and ask me to help her because she wanted to become closer to me?

I thought that too.

‘It’s an ax disease.’

When I think about his reaction after that, he actually wants to have a fight with me instead of becoming friends.

It felt that way.

No matter how much I think about it… . It doesn’t match the original female lead… .

“No… .”

If you think about it, most of the villains who tormented Yuri in the original work… .

It was handled quietly.

I never saw it again.

entered the monastery.

There were several descriptions.

If you think about it, it’s all from their perspective.

“No! It’s a bad ending without even thinking about it! Why didn’t I think of it until now?”

But why is Yuri to me?

Most of the villains who tormented Yuri in the original were jealous of her.

But far from being jealous, I am perfectly satisfied with my life. Rather, it adds to the hypothesis I just came up with.

‘After all, let’s not get involved with the female protagonist!’

Not even a day has passed since I thought that.

“Hello, Princess Marian. I was sorry last time.”

Why is he lowering his head in front of me? And that too in front of the main entrance of the main building where people are passing by?

First of all, it is said to be an apology, but how will other people view it?

‘Who is this apology for?’

“Oh my. What is that?”

“With Princess Marian… . Pink hair… . Could it be that of the rumors… ?”

“That’s right! I saw it in the last class. I am the daughter of Baron Yuri West.”

Students who liked rumors gathered together and started whispering.

It was so small that I couldn’t hear everything, but curiosity was common and some people wondered if I was bothering them. Something like that.

I sigh.

‘After all, he’s not a disaster god… ?’

It wasn’t pleasant to be accused of something I didn’t do.

“The apology is not accepted. But I think you’re thinking too short.”

“Yes…?”

“If you bow your head and apologize like that in a place like this, what would you think of me?”

I said it bluntly.

It seemed to me that this was one of two things.

The type of person who knows everything but deliberately pretends to be nice and criticizes others.

Otherwise, if you really have a pure brain, talking about the former or the latter won’t work anyway.

“I hope I don’t see you again.”

I walked away, leaving behind her who was looking at me in vain.

Well, since I said this, I guess I won’t come any further.

* * *

“Miss, what’s going on?”

“Not really.”

Emilia looks at me worriedly when I return home.

“Sit here.”

She gently held my hand and sat me down on the sofa and served me some tea.

Moderately hot temperature. The luxurious scent of tea makes me smile.

“Delicious.”

“Miss, you won’t even tell me?”

“It’s not a big deal… .”

She gave me a stern look when I spoke vaguely.

Is this what it would feel like if you were bullied at school or questioned by your mother?

however… . I have no friends other than Cecilia… ?

“Lady.”

Emilia’s long eyelashes flutter like butterflies. A pretty face that hasn’t changed at all since I was a baby, as if time had passed by.

When she says this, I can’t help but say… .

“That… .”

After a while.

“Everything like that! Miss, are you really okay?”

Emilia was indignant after hearing my story.

“What’s not to be okay with?”

It’s really not that big of a deal, but it’s like a family that’s always on my side, no. Just talking with Emilia, my second mother, made me feel at ease.

“Miss, should I get rid of her?”

“Huh?”

When she was young, she used her own words, but perhaps because her various businesses were discovered, she no longer held back.

“It’s okay. This is enough.”

I fell into Emilia’s arms.

“Hehe, I thought our little girl was all grown up, but she’s still a baby.”

Emilia hugs me and comforts me. Is this something like a mother’s arms?

“Hehe.”

It was warm and cozy.

*

I opened my eyes.

“Umm.”

Thanks to Emilia, I had a good night’s sleep.

It’s still dark.

A strange time that could be called dawn.

‘It was a blind spot.’

The villains who confront the female protagonist meet a gruesome end. I thought it was best not to get involved since this is a rule that applies in most novels.

There’s no need to go and fight, but…

“That’s right.”

A sudden thought occurred to me and I jumped up.

A nobleman who supported Yuri in the original work. Although it is not detailed, it was an anti-emperor faction.

I had forgotten about this story since it appeared around the time Yuri came of age… . If that was a long time ago.

[Nazar. Are you okay now?]

A telegram was sent right away.

[of course.]

[Please investigate the Lady Yuri West, whom I mentioned before. I’m not sure, but… there’s a possibility that the Marquis of Weir is behind it.]

“She’s the female protagonist and there’s nothing more to look at.”

*

‘I’m sleepy……’

I stayed up late in a dark meeting with Nazar… I was so excited to come up with a sound business plan… I really lost track of time. By the time I did, the sun had already risen.

It’s nice to come to the academy with a tired body, but I still have quite a bit of time before class.

I wouldn’t have slept in the classroom until class started… I couldn’t yawn while looking like a princess, so I pursed my lips and corrected myself for a moment.

The timing is perfect.

As soon as I made up my mind, that big, stick-like man approached me.

“Lady Marian. I was sorry about last time. I didn’t mean it that way.”

There really isn’t much to say, it’s all cut out, but I understood it so it doesn’t matter.

Ian Rippleton was bowing his head to me after getting into that situation the other day. The reaction of a hesitant elementary school student to a girl he likes.

I knew it right away because it was a reaction I had experienced several times in my past life.

“Do you like me?”

“……Well, that is.”

“That’s an illusion, the one you like is Yuri West.”

“…No, that is.”

I used gaslighting without hesitation.

Conflict is visible in Ian’s expression.

I’m not sure if he actually likes me or not.

Judging by his looks, it seems clear that he likes her, but even so, he hesitates while weighing it against Yuri.

“Well, that’s not what’s important. i hate you I will continue to hate it, and I think I will hate it every time I see it.”

“…!”

His face turned pale. It really looked like he had been hit with a knife.

“If you chase two rabbits, you will lose them both. At least I won’t fall in love with you, just keep that in mind.”

I sneered coldly.

To be honest, I had no hard feelings towards Ian.

Rather, any remaining dissatisfaction was brushed aside with the apology just now.

Is that why? What I said now was a kind of advice.

I feel good, perhaps because I said what I wanted to say.

Warm sunlight, well-maintained flower beds that feel like works of art. Perhaps because there was so much to see, time passed quickly.

‘Let’s go and sleep early.’

Ah, I’ve been in the classroom a long time before class starts, but I guess it’s okay by now.

It was when we passed the corner.

“Anna, are you really still planning on staying here?”

A man’s gruff voice.

‘what?’

I backed away and hid in the corner.

I stuck my head out and looked at the atmosphere going on.

There was a large man blocking the small-sized young lady in front of the women’s restroom, and a group of incompetent-looking men surrounding him as if following him.

The drowsiness disappeared.

This is because the atmosphere around the place was unusual.

“Your house is ruined. Are you still planning on going to the academy? You know that being the chief is impossible anyway, right? I got a scholarship, but I also got a lot of luck. Honestly, wouldn’t it be better to quit?”

Yeongsik laughed at Yeongae and grabbed her hair.

“Ha, don’t do it.”

“Hmm. Your clothes are dirty, but your hair is soft. Why don’t you just be my concubine? Isn’t that better for you too?”

Yeongsik placed his opposite hand on the wall.

‘and. ‘There can be such disgusting wall thumping.’

The young lady was holding something precious as he said.

‘Is it a book?’

widely.

“Is this really a textbook? Basics and applications of formulas… Wow, is this the same textbook as ours? Why are you such a slut? Looks like at least 10 years have passed?”

Yeongsik grabbed the textbook with one hand and shook it.

Old textbooks that can be called used books begin to tear.

“No… . Give it back… . I got it from my seniors… . Please.”

“Huh, what kind of magic is a woman? It’s obvious just by looking at the ratio of men and women taking advanced courses, Anna.”

Even when Yeong-ae put on her tiptoes, Yeong-sik raised the door upward and it did not close. She stretched out her hand, not caring that her breasts were touching him.

“Give it back… Give it back.

“It’s not for nothing that there are a lot of men among high-ranking wizards. You know that you don’t sell out when you get older, right? Now she’s cute, so she’s my concubine…”

Yeongsik triumphantly asked what was so interesting.

“Shut your mouth, right?”

I couldn’t hold back any longer and jumped out in front of them.

Judging by the way things are going, it seems like she was feeling uncomfortable because she was the daughter of a ruined family, but she was a pig who was prone to sexual harassment and spewed out poop whenever she opened her mouth.

I know it’s nonsense, but these moody pigs need real education to feel better.

“Me, Princess Marian…?!”

The big Yeongsik took a step back as soon as he saw me. His face looked as if he had seen a poisonous snake.

‘Well, it’s comfortable.’

“What are you looking at? Don’t look at me in a bad way and get away from me.”

I said, looking at him. Thanks to my now considerably taller height and higher heels, I never had the chance to look up at him.

He took a step closer, glancing at the people around him.

“Go, princess. Just go on your way, what kind of rudeness is this?”

‘Wow… why is it so wide…?’

As the guy approached, my vision was obscured. Even though he wasn’t short, he didn’t look particularly tall, perhaps because he was only elongated on the sides.

‘Is there such a thing as pride?’

But you made a mistake.
