by fnovelpiaThe status of the duke’s daughter is not something an ordinary person can endure.
Great power means having to take on a lot of responsibility, so a child who was born to dominate others must learn how to handle that responsibility. Of course, not everyone will think this way.
A thoughtless person will only try to wield power while ignoring responsibility. An immature person will run wild without even knowing that he has power and responsibility.
Among other people, it would be rare to find someone who would faithfully fulfill all responsibilities.
Joey was such an unusual child.
Even though no one asked her to, she was an honest person who fully understood what it meant to be born into a duke’s family and tried to become someone worthy of her status.
Joe started wandering around looking for ways to become an adult at an age when he couldn’t even think about how to have more fun with his friends.
It is only natural that a heavy burden is placed on her shoulders.
Just as I was starting to think that even opening my eyes every day was difficult, Jeff, who was looking at Joy sadly, gave her some advice.
If you just try hard, you’ll break one day. In order to make a desperate effort, you must find a way to release what has accumulated in your mind.
Joe wondered if he had time to develop a hobby when he didn’t have enough time to make desperate efforts, but since it was advice given by a caring older brother, he gave it some thought, and after hearing about the existence of romance novels from a young lady, he realized that the advice was right. It’s done.
After that, for several years, after finishing her day’s work, she locked herself in her room and immersed herself in romance novels. For several years, Joy reached a point where she believed she was well-versed in romance, even though she had never been in a proper relationship or loved one.
“Do you know?! There is no magic as powerful as childhood memories! If this continues, Lucy will be taken away!”
Arthur, who knew this situation, looked at Joey with slanted eyes as he passionately discussed the crisis.
“I heard about your delusion, but this place is reality.”
“Are you telling me I’m talking nonsense!?”
“I think it is true that the two met when they were young. They think it makes no sense because they think it is the truth. Was it possible for Lucy Alln back then to become friends with others?”
Although Arthur only heard it as a story, the person named Lucy Alln was truly the bastard of bastards.
There is no way a person with a decent level of sanity would directly insult the king of a country.
How could such a cocky kid become friends with other people, especially his very picky older brother?
her. That makes perfect sense.
“That’s the important point!”
“What?”
“The kinder a person is to everyone, the easier it is to fall for new charms!”
A tyrant who can’t treat anyone comfortably gets angry at a strong-willed woman and then falls in love with her, which is the basis of a romance novel. Joey read those things dozens and hundreds of times.
“That’s just a story in a novel, right?”
“I told you! How many times have we talked! If I wasn’t interested, there was no way I would approach Lucy from back in the day! I was trying to avoid it as much as possible!”
“…That’s convincing.”
Joy, who has rallied other daughters as the duke’s daughter, is someone who can tame even those with quite nasty personalities to some extent.
But how many times has she gone out of her way to visit someone who has given up and hated her? This is not behavior that can be easily understood.
“Is that really what your brother likes?”
“The prince also knows. You can’t judge a person’s taste just by what they see on the outside.”
Examples abounded around them. There are one or two people who become normal people without Lucy by their side.
“And if our guess is true, it is clear that Lucy also has some favor.”
“Was he the only person who came to you when you had to bear everyone’s criticism? hmm. Considering that we have such a relationship, I think Lucy Arlen was quite annoyed with you.”
“I doubt that too. How common is it for Lucy to be uncomfortable with others?”
The day Lucy Alln decided to spend time with the 1st Prince. Arthur, who tried to persuade Joey one last time, suddenly felt that he was being persuaded.
“…Okay. Let’s say everything you say is correct. But then do we have the right to intervene there?”
“There is! I’m Lucy’s friend! If your friend is trying to make a wrong choice, you have to do your best to stop him!”“Are you saying your brother is the wrong choice?”
“Yes! Of course!”
“Just said that. It could be lese majeste.”
“It’s too late to worry about things like our lese majeste.”
“I can’t deny it, I’m so sad.”
“Ahh! It’s here!”
The first prince appeared on the street, looking neat as if he was going to a ball.
I don’t like him, but he’s handsome.
If I go out into society like that, I don’t think a few ladies will faint.
“Joy. Are you really confident that you won’t be caught?”
“Of course. No matter how genius the first prince is, he cannot destroy the power of darkness.”
As long as the two hide themselves in the dark, no one can notice them. This is not human technology, but the power of God.
Joy, who was elated as to how the technology she had learned directly from Erginus could be destroyed so easily, held her breath when she saw Lucy walking from afar.
The word that could describe Lucy today would be white.
A pure white dress without any decorations. Skin that has a clear vitality even though it is white enough to not fade in that dress. Red hair fluttering above it and accessories naturally seeping in between it.
The angel looking at the earth with ruby-like eyes so easily captured people’s attention.
“…that guy. Didn’t it come out too sincerely?”
Joey lowered his head as Arthur mumbled his words while covering his nose.
These two people had seen something similar to me in the past.
On the day when she came up with an extraordinary plan to steal everyone’s attention with her overwhelming appearance and make the speech go away, and even almost realized it, Lucy Alln came out looking like that.
“1The queen once said that she felt like she was possessed, and I understand what she said.”
“Even in this situation, do you look for your mother first? It’s clear that the Prince of Darkness is a grumpy mama’s boy.”
“Haha. Maybe so.”
Joy, who was watching the two people laughing and talking, bit her lip and then cautiously opened her mouth.
“3Prince. What if Lucy really likes you?”
Arthur let out a laugh as Joey stammered, thinking that this meeting might be as important to Lucy as the previous one.
“Are you saying that now?”
“But that’s right.”
“It’s already too late to go back. Let’s follow to see what happens.”
The first place the two visited was the largest jewelry store in the capital. Lucy swept up many expensive jewels in a place famous for being visited by noble ladies who visited the royal capital.
“That guy. Aren’t you interested in jewelry?”
“I guess so? You can buy as much jewelry as you want, but you don’t even mention it.”
Then, as if it was natural, Lucy passed the payment on to Renee. Because of the large amount of money, Rene’s expression hardened for a moment, but he quickly made up his face and handed the money to the jeweler.
“This is my first time seeing all the employees come out to see me off.”
“If you pay that much money, even if the other person is a commoner, you should do that.”
The next place I stopped by was a place that sold artifacts.
Even though she was a first-time customer, Lucy went inside with the face of the influential heir to the throne and chose only the most expensive items there.
“Me. That’s a bracelet that can record ten magic circles! I wanted it, but it was too expensive so I couldn’t get it!”
“The amulet of protection is completely swept away. How much is it if you add it all up?”
Naturally, it was Rene who made the payment. He seemed to have a lot to say, but he forced a smile and handed over the money.
After that, the two people’s actions were the same. Lucy splurges and Renee handles it. Even though the location changed each time, this proposition did not change.
At this point, even Joy, who was steeped in romance novels, couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable with this situation.
“Is this a date?”
This was definitely not a date. How can you call it a date when a woman is holding on to a tiger and eating it!
“Joy. Was there something wrong with your memory? No matter how you think about Lucy Alln’s actions, they are those of someone filled with resentment?”
“Uh. what? No, but those two people.”
“Get out of the delusion and look at reality. Would you be willing to act like that to someone you like?
Joey couldn’t bear to answer Arthur’s question.
If you don’t care about the other person’s feelings, such brazen behavior is impossible.
To Lucy, Prince 1 was a good person no matter what.
“Look. Didn’t I tell you it was a delusion?”
“Haaa. Fortunately, though.”
“What else?”
“Isn’t this too innocent!? I was thinking of something a little more exciting! I thought I would see something that would make me itch, feel frustrated, and laugh out loud!”
“Is this my part-time job? You annoying guy.”
“It’s annoying! What’s wrong with me!”
Arthur, who pressed Joey’s grumpy head to silence her, frowned as he saw the two people entering the most famous restaurant in the capital.
I guess I have to follow this until the end, right?
*
‘Hehehe. 1It was good to cooperate with the prince. ‘How much profit did you make today?’
A birthstone that will increase the abilities of my friends and me! In addition, a magic tool to prepare for future crises! Aside from that, I was satisfied with today as I bought a lot of useful items with other people’s money.
I ignored the two people bickering in a somewhat bored tone and looked at the menu while humming.
I’ve been moving a lot all day today, so I’m going to eat a little too much. I think I could eat the entire menu from start to finish if it were me now.
huh! decision! Rene will pay anyway, so let’s be extravagant!
“…You want to order everything?”
“Why? Are you feeling burdened?”
“Of course it’s burdensome! Think about what I spent today!”
“A girl like me is hanging out with a dull, gloomy, and smelly person like you. You should have come with that level of determination.”
“Haaa. You are truly shameless.”
Don’t you have any remorse? at all! If you were an ordinary person, you wouldn’t know it, but he’s a perverted pedo who wants to do things to a girl like me! I have to do this at least!
“I thought it had changed a lot, but is this part the same?”
