Chapter 1

Yuria von Vandeed.

She is the eldest daughter of the Vandeed Viscount family, but is currently disowned.

In this world, she is not only past the age of love but also past the age of childbearing, and she remains single.

With her hair tied back and thick glasses, she is the unapproachable lady-in-waiting to the princess.

Dressed in plain attire, she stands by the princess's side every day, and people call her the "model lady-in-waiting."

She is unexpectedly skilled at making pastries and is always ready to listen to others' concerns, making her very popular among her juniors.

Some of the newly arrived noble girls even call her "Mommy."

In fact, she is a reincarnated soul, and this world is very similar to the game world she used to love. Rather, it is exactly the same.

The only difference seems to be that it is about 15 years earlier than the game's timeline.

However, she was in a position completely unrelated to the main characters.

The Vandeed Viscount family never appeared in the game, and a woman named Yuria never showed up at all.

Moreover, why is she a lady-in-waiting despite being a noble?

Well, this is due to the custom of noble children serving as etiquette apprentices in the royal castle from around the age of 10 to 15.

This allows the children to become familiar with each other and form friendships in preparation for their social debut, and it is also a good way for the nobility who frequent the castle to identify capable individuals.

After completing their service, they immediately make their social debut and often get married.

In this world, it is common and even encouraged for people to have multiple children by their early 20s.

Such is the world of swords and magic.

However, Yuria was a bit different.

She happened to be assigned as a lady-in-waiting for a newborn princess after about two years of experience.

This ignited something in her.

In her previous life, she was a plain and unattractive woman, much like she is now, but she loves children and enjoys taking care of them.

Princess Primera, in the game, is a rival to the heroine but is a lovable antagonist.

She is plump, spoiled, innocent, and often gives in to her appetite.

However, she is also intelligent and can accomplish things that the heroine struggles to achieve.

But there was a reason for her plumpness.

Yuria eliminated this cause, gained the princess's trust, and became her exclusive lady-in-waiting.

Primera trusts Yuria absolutely and, when they are alone, even looks up to her like a mother.

However, Yuria's affection for the princess is so strong that when the princess talks about following her into marriage, it is Yuria who worries about the princess.

"Hey, Yuria, I'm happy to have you by my side, but are you really okay with not getting married...?"

"Well, I doubt I'll find a suitable partner at my age. Besides, I'm not exactly a looker."
