If you want to look evil, you shouldn’t do funny things.

Or, at the very least, don’t do something that is helpful to the other person.

If you don’t want to do both, your laughter should never be ‘Ohhohohoho!’

“Ohhohohoho!”

For your information, Diane’s laugh was exactly like that. Still, the usual ‘huhuhu’ laugh sounded a bit gloomy, and ‘Ohhohohoho!’… … It’s a bit, what should I say, stupid?

She looks like the cheerful, pimply-haired, high-ranking noblewoman that often appears in these types of novels.

Moreover, the right hand was held in front of the mouth with the little finger slightly raised, a typical ‘pose’.

In fact, he was tightly holding the reins of the horse he was riding with his left hand.

For your information, the person riding the horse was not Diane, but Adele. Diane was pulling the horse below, and Adele was riding the horse.

I think they’re planning to make fun of Adele, who doesn’t know how to ride a horse even though she’s that old… … .

No matter how you look at it, doesn’t it look like a maid pulling you from below?

… … Where is the image of people manipulating invitations made by the royal family to try to fuck Adele, and is there such a cruel person?

“It seems like things aren’t so good that you can’t even ride a horse at that age, right? I’m helping you like this, so be thankful!”

Every single line is just tsundere.

No, of course, I know I don’t feel that way about Diane right now.

“… … .”

Still, Adele’s cheeks were blushing, whether I should say it was fortunate or unfortunate. Well, we didn’t say things like that when we did the same thing to Adele.

And by my standards, having lived as a modern person for a long time, it seemed like nonsense, but by the standards of this worldview, which is full of people who risk their lives for family honor and all, it could have been humiliating to hear.

Because they are making fun of Adele, who is an aristocrat but did not receive the education of an aristocrat.

“Hmm… … .”

Even the content of Diane’s lines was a bit meaningless, so Amelia looked seriously worried about whether she should stop her or not.

Well, even in the original work, it was Amelia who was truly evil, and Diane said that she was closer to implementing Amelia’s ideas rather than coming up with those ideas herself.

Even so, they were serious crimes that could not be forgiven.

Still, he was shocked by Amelia’s instructions later on, so it seems like he at least wasn’t planning on killing Adele.

“Should I stop it?”

“… … Anyway, it’s helping Adele, so let’s wait and see.”

It’s not that it wasn’t, because the teaching method was standard anyway.

Moreover, the horse I chose was extremely good at following people’s words. It was probably a ‘high-class horse that Diane herself rode,’ so it was natural, but Adele was not in any danger.

In some ways, it may be better than the words we came here to say.

“Heh.”

After making a large circle, Diane made a sighing sound as if she was showing off—although she was still showing off—and said,

“That’s about it for today’s training. If you’ve only been riding a horse for a short time, do you think this would be too much for you? Please be thankful to ‘Jesse’. If the horse I brought had a bad temperament at all, you would have already rolled around on the floor. Because there must have been.”

“… … .”

Adele got off the horse with her mouth shut.

And then he put his hand on Jessie’s face and whispered softly,

“Thank you, Jessie.”

He said.

“Hieeing.”

Jesse flapped his ears as if it was no big deal.

Do you like Adele, or is Jesse a particularly gentle horse?

At least I haven’t touched Jessie today, so it’s probably not because of the Druid’s abilities.

Looking at the pride overflowing in Diane’s eyes, Jesse is probably a particularly smart and gentle horse. Naturally, if livestock is smart, it is rather difficult to control, but Jesse has a good personality, so he probably listens.

“It is natural that he will understand even if you give him verbal commands without pulling the reins—”

“Thank you.”

“—Story, yes?”

Diane, who was speaking in a tone that seemed to say, ‘You don’t have anything like this at home, right?’, suddenly blinked without finishing her sentence when Adele slightly bowed her head and said thank you.

“I am grateful that you allowed me to use these kind words in my training.”

Flash.

Diane froze with her mouth open and blinked again.

“However.”

When Adele raised her head, Adele’s eyes were staring straight at Diane.

“These words are not words you can get often. They are words you probably can’t get even if you have money.”

“Yeah, that’s right! You can’t even dream—”

“—To the extent that the Grand Duchess and her escorts cannot help it.”

Damn.

Diane froze again.

If I go and pull that bun right now, won’t it break easily? I thought seriously for a moment.

“Ah, I didn’t mean that… … .”

“… … Of course I know.”

Adele probably knows best that this was said ‘to Adele’.

“However, I wanted to tell you that if you say things like that carelessly, you could offend other nobles. If the Count doesn’t notice that… … Are you in trouble?”

No, by that logic, it would be strange for you, the daughter of a knight, to say something like that to Diane, the daughter of a hundred writers.

Of course, I didn’t necessarily say that.

Isn’t the one who says those lines much more like the main character?

When the blood rushes to your head, you need to find a way to cry without thinking about what’s next.

And according to the original, it was also the main character’s ability to deal with threats that came before him in the future.

Since we are here, the story will be a little different.

“Ugh… … .”

Since she was still a beauty, Diane’s behavior seemed quite cute.

“… … .”

“Huh?”

I felt eyes on me, so I turned my head and saw Amelia staring at me.

“Uh… … Why?”

I was a little embarrassed to see her expressionless, so I asked her carefully, and Amelia shrugged her shoulders and let out a small breath.

“No, it’s nothing.”

It was a face that was nothing.

But before I could ask anything, Amelia took a step. She passed right by me, so I quickly followed her.

What is it? You made me worry by being so careless in the morning that you even asked me to change clothes, but now—

-ah.

Is that really true? Was what happened this morning somehow awkward?

I thought things were getting a little better, but it seems like a thought occurred to me.

Well, in the first place, dark history tends to come to mind all of a sudden, without any time to discuss it. 10 years ago, when I was a second-year middle school student, didn’t the thought of dark history suddenly make me kick my blanket a few times?

What happened yesterday was Amelia’s fault in many ways, so you may suddenly remember it and feel embarrassed.

Cute too.

… … But then, does that mean we can’t hug each other and sleep tonight?

*

I thought to myself as I passed by Elsie.

I wonder if my blanket will be safe tonight.

Elsie… … She’s a woman like me.

That means that the possibility of feeling sexual attraction to other women, including myself, is very low. I don’t know what the range is between homosexuals, heterosexuals, and bisexuals, but in any case, the largest category in the world is ‘people who only like the opposite sex.’ ‘admit.

So, there is no need to feel jealous just because Elsie smiles slightly at a woman other than me. There is even no need to feel impatient.

Anyway, I don’t think Elsie will ever get attached to Diane.

But, yeah, even if it’s something that doesn’t matter.

Even so, the fact that I was even momentarily jealous of Diane and not Adele doesn’t mean that my brain has changed.

I was even more embarrassed because I felt that emotion and took out the irritation that followed on Elsie. Although Elsie had an expression on her face that said she didn’t know anything.

“… … Huh.”

When I cleared my throat, Adele and Diane’s shoulders shook.

yes.

I am a grand duchess. A grand duchess who takes as an escort someone ‘from Delki City’ that people in other territories cannot even think of.

So, it would be natural for him to be surprised like this. It would be surprising even if I were next to him, because he was talking to me and mentioning my name just a little while ago.

“Hi.”

ah.

When Diane made eye contact with me and looked scared, it seemed like the irritation was still on my face.

I got used to Elsie making a calm expression when she saw me, so there were times when I forgot about it.

“If Adele has learned everything she needs to learn today, would it be okay to go to the forest?”

“Oh!”

Adele’s face immediately brightened at my words.

The last time I saw you, you screamed.

… … I was like that too.

“… … To the forest?”

Diane’s eyes moved uneasily.

Trembling eyes watched the sun slowly falling over the horizon, creating a red sunset.

I guess they thought that since the sun had set, our business was done.

“Yes, to the forest. If you don’t want to go, I don’t mind breaking up at this point.”

Diane has a personality with sky-high self-esteem.

Basically, she was an ordinary ‘lady’ who valued ‘femininity’, but—

Diane’s eyes glanced toward Adele.

Adele was smiling leisurely as she looked at Diane.

“… … I’ll go. I can follow you too, right?”

And Diane, who was excited to see that smile, said that.

Yes, in the face of that pride, I tend to make somewhat irrational choices.

… … That’s why he was used by Amelia in the original.
