episode_0434

A woman with short blue hair sitting in a dress stained with black tea. And in front of her, Ethan is frozen with a troubled expression.

It was easy to see what was going on at a glance. Ethan, who had been in charge of the female guests since Thomas was away, had made a mistake with Princess Raini.

And the tall woman sitting next to Princess Raini was probably… .

“Gyaaaahh …

It was the maid, Lydia, who was checking on Princess Raini’s well-being with a loud voice.

“… … .”

“Huh, what should I do?! There’s a stain on the princess’ dress…! Oh, no, what if you get burned…!”

“… … .”

“There, you there! Wipe it off quickly! And, bring the nearest priest! Quickly!!”

“… … .”

That maid is the same now as she was in the game.

There must be some kind of rule that says the more professional a maid is, the noisier she is. She was just as noisy as Melissa. She seemed flustered because it was related to Princess Raini, and she gave various instructions in a hurry.

… Princess Raini, whose clothes were stained with black tea, had not said a word since a while ago.

“I’m sorry, Young-ae…! It was my, my mistake that caused me to do such a rude thing…!”

“… … .”

Moreover, the sight of Ethan lowering his head in front of Princess Raini with an embarrassed expression on his face, wondering if it was he who had done wrong.

Ethan may have spilled it, but that doesn’t mean it was Ethan’s fault. I’m not saying this to defend Ethan, but considering Princess Raini’s temperament, anyone else in that position would have made the same mistake.

Princess Raini, also known as the ‘Unlucky Princess’.

Her life was always filled with unfortunate events, and she was given the nickname of bringing bad luck wherever she went.

The heel of your shoe, which was fine in the morning, suddenly breaks while you are climbing stairs. Or you are out for a walk on a nice day and suddenly get splashed with bird droppings flying overhead. Or you are walking around your room barefoot in your sleep and stub your toe on the corner of a chair.

From big crises to small pains, she was a woman with a unique constitution who carried all kinds of injuries, big and small.

“… … .”

That’s why, even now, when hot tea spilled on her dress, she remained expressionless and said nothing as if nothing had happened. For her, who was already accustomed to unhappiness in her daily life, this level of pain must have been familiar.

“Ppa, hurry! Bring the priest quickly! What are you going to do if our princess’s body is completely destroyed by burns?!”

However, it was only Lydia, the maid who served Princess Raini, who was making a lot of noise.

It was as if her voice, which was not speaking, was supplemented by the volume of two human voices, which could easily surpass it.

Of course, no matter how unlucky you are, you probably won’t get burns all over your body just from spilling tea on your clothes… .

‘No, this is not the time to be thinking like that.’

No matter how unlucky Princess Raini was born with, it was Ethan’s mistake, so it was my job to fix it.

“We apologize for the rudeness of our housekeeper, Young-ae. We will bring Young-ae’s dress and treatment here.”

“… … .”

“Okay, wait a minute…! Are you telling our princess to move right now?! Are you telling Princess Raini to move right now?! ”

“We will only move you to the next room for a moment for treatment. During the treatment, we cannot show our precious princess’ bare skin to a man, right?”

“… Ah, ah! If that’s the reason, then I’ll take you there right now! Ah, no! I’ll take you there myself!”

With those words, the tall maid, Lydia, lifted up the body of Princess Raini, who was sitting on the chair.

As expected of a maid who serves such a princess, she was certainly strong. Of course, there was also the fact that Princess Raini weighed much less than an average adult woman.

“Hey, where are you?! Where should I take you?!”

“… … .”

“Over there, please take me to the back of the kitchen… .”

-Tadadak!

Before I could finish speaking, Lydia hurriedly carried Princess Raini to the back of the kitchen.

I, too, had never imagined that I would have my first meeting with Princess Raini in this way, and so I followed behind them to do the aftermath.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

Princess Raini, who had spilled hot tea on her stomach, was taken to the kitchen, and Gyeomjongjossegi, who was preparing ingredients for cooking, was temporarily sent out.

Fortunately, it wasn’t a holiday today, so I called Serista into the kitchen and asked her to treat Princess Raini.

‘… In fact, it’s just a slight burn that will get better if left alone, to the point where you can’t even call it treatment.’

However, if she didn’t get treatment, this noisy maid would continue to cause trouble, and considering Princess Raini’s bad luck, he didn’t know how the snowball would roll if he didn’t get treatment now.

For example, if you spill black tea on the same area again in this condition, a minor wound may develop into a more serious burn.

It’s a ridiculous story that seems impossible to believe, but this woman was able to do it. As I said before, Princess Raini had a disposition that brought all sorts of bad luck to her, so much so that she was called the unlucky princess.

It was a completely different matter from the fact that the luck of the release was in the single digits. In the first place, the luck I had was only a parameter that affected the hit rate of attack magic and had nothing to do with actually being unlucky or anything like that, but Princess Raini’s bad luck was actually a factor that drove her to bad luck.

Princess Raini’s unique constitution was such that even if she woke up in the morning and didn’t take a single step out of bed, she would experience several bad luck events a day, as if she had to accept a certain amount of bad luck each day.

-Saaaa… .

“Chi, you’re cured, Young-ae… . Oh, no, should I call you princess… ?”

“… … .”

-Twitching.

Princess Raini quietly shook her head, expressing that there was no need to correct her.

Even in the game, conversations with her were always like this: nodding, shaking, and then silence.

Since he was a character who never opened his mouth unless it was a really special situation, I don’t remember his voice very well. Rather, it was Lydia’s voice next to him that was so loud that it left a deep impression on me.

After Serista’s burns were treated, I immediately used my clean magic to wash Princess Raini’s dress, and fortunately, her body and clothes were restored to the state they were in before Ethan spilled the tea.

“I’m sorry for being rude, Princess Raini. I will definitely compensate you for today’s rudeness.”

“… … .”

-Twitching.

“… Yes? Are you saying that you are okay?”

“… … .”

-Nod, nod.

“… Thank you for your mercy, Princess Raini.”

… Well, I knew that Princess Raini would respond like this, but I still had to say it since I was the one who made the mistake.

Princess Raini was always carrying around such misfortunes, so she wasn’t the type of person to get angry or upset over a little spilled tea.

“I’m sorry, princess. Next time, I will make sure that not a single drop of tea gets on you, even if it means throwing myself at you.”

“… … .”

-Twitching.

“Keep going, as expected of a princess… . How can even her heart be this beautiful… .”

Princess Raini silently walked out of the kitchen, relieved that she had somehow managed to resolve the situation.

I walked out of the cafe with the thought that I had to please her as much as possible, but instead of walking out, Princess Raini sat down quietly in the same spot again.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“Princess?”

Everyone was dumbfounded and silent, not knowing what Princess Raini wanted, and even her maid, Lydia, cautiously opened her mouth while observing the situation.

Only I remembered that it was a pattern I had seen when I conquered Princess Raini in my previous life, so I quickly grabbed the menu nearby and handed it to her.

“Welcome to your visit, Young-ae. I will do my best to serve you while you wait for your master. Would you like tea or refreshments, Young-ae?”

“… … .”

-Nod, nod.

Princess Raini quietly nodded without answering and ordered coffee and a croissant from the menu I handed her.

As expected, her gesture seemed to be an attempt to ‘overwrite’ the memory that had just occurred.

When something unfortunate happens, we repeat that behavior again to forget the memory, and forget the past that made us feel bad by covering it up with a normal memory.

It was a common event that occurred when dating Princess Raini in the game, so it was fortunate that the memory of that time still remained.

“Yes. I’ll get it ready right away, Youngae.”

“… … .”

Lydia also carefully sat down in her seat like before, following Princess Raini’s natural attitude.

“Please return to your positions. There are still many guests to serve, so what are you all doing here? As if there was some kind of commotion.”

“Ah, sorry, sorry… .”

“Sorry, sorry…!”

“… … .”

The hall and kitchen, which had been in disarray for a moment due to the commotion, returned to normal, and everyone returned to their respective positions to focus on running the cafe again.

“… Phew.”

I caught a glimpse of Ethan sighing deeply from a corner of the hall, watching me closely.
