I really want BB cream. These days, I'm feeling the versatility of it.
Yeah... well, the basic mode of transportation to the summer resort is by carriage.
It's fine, but it's hot!
So, we're heading to the summer resort. Someone might comment that we're leaving early, but after the king mentioned it, everything was prepared in no time. I think it was largely due to the old seamstress who quickly made the summer dresses. I wonder who she really is. She's a mystery.
Oh, of course, I got one made too!
It ties at a high waist, so the skirt flares out a lot. I thought, "Wow, how elegant..." but I wonder if I'll have the chance to wear it, even though I'm going for work at the resort. I'm not as important as Lady Primula, but I'm grateful to have multiple dresses made. I almost felt bad and wanted to apologize, but when the old seamstress smiled gently and said, "…Won't you be a little spoiled anymore…?" I couldn't help but take it. Grandmaaaaaa!!! Of course, I paid the proper price. But I think it was a bargain.
Of course, the maid's uniform is also a summer version! This is provided by the state, but when it's summer, the dark navy long dress turns into a delicate gray color. The sleeves are still long, but it's made of linen, so it's quite cool. The apron is cotton. The apron is also a summer version with a slightly different design!
Even maids and servants are quite fashionable, surprisingly.
Oh, by the way, this is my first time using a magic carriage. I should say I was allowed to ride in it...
What do you mean?
Well, there's a special carriage for the royal family, which is a common thing. The royal family rides in carriages with the royal crest. It's not unusual.
But this is a world of swords and magic. Just like I can use magic, there are magical tools! The royal family's magic carriage looks like a regular luxurious carriage, but inside, it uses space magic to be as spacious as a room in the palace. The royal family can bring entertainment items to avoid boredom, have a knight as a bodyguard, and have servants and maids take care of meals and drinks.
Normally, the carriage for Lady Primula would follow the one for the Crown Prince, but because the two siblings are so close and want to ride together, the king allowed them to use a larger carriage. I don't know what the queen thinks.
Such a convenient magical tool is apparently only owned by the royal family...
I was nervous when I got in. But once inside, it's like a room, so I focused on serving!
I brought the tea leaves I bought from the Rizil Trading Company. Metabon prepared some long-lasting tea snacks... The main concern is the two bodyguards. Lady Primula's bodyguard is Lauren, and the others are at the back of the carriage.
This Lauren has chestnut curls and a sleepy, sexy vibe. She speaks in a calm, gentle manner but is very strict about harassment and has a great body.
The Crown Prince's bodyguard... I think it's Edi? He looks like a brainy, strong type. They've been glaring at each other since they greeted each other earlier. I wish they could get along at least in this carriage... Fortunately, the Crown Prince and Lady Primula seem to be enjoying their conversation, so it's not a problem. I could only exchange a look with Aaron, the Crown Prince's attendant, and sigh quietly.
Still, Lady Primula, laughing innocently and calling out "Brother, brother," is so cute.
Prince Albercht Daum has improved his gentlemanly skills. As soon as he saw Lady Primula, he said, "You have a new summer dress. It suits you very well." Good job!
I often forget, but Lady Primula is the antagonist in the game.
Moreover, she was supposed to be fat and very selfish, and Prince Albercht Daum felt sorry for her and was kind to her. It's changed a lot, but if the main story of the heroine and the prince getting together proceeds smoothly, it should be fine.
After all, in reality, there are bigger obstacles than just a bully.
Yes, the biggest obstacle is etiquette and manners!! The protagonist is the daughter of an adventurer who was granted a baron's title for one generation. Her father, an adventurer, apparently made great contributions by defeating a terrible monster and was given a one-generation baron's title. The king invited his daughter to the palace to learn etiquette and manners and allowed her to attend the country's top academy in the town below the castle.
In the game, even though she's a baron's daughter, it's a one-generation title, so the prime minister said, "If you meet him, catch him firmly" (of course, the original wording is more polite and natural) and the story starts.
Basically, she lives with her father in a mansion provided in the town, goes to the castle to study etiquette and manners, and then goes to the academy to study magic, history, arithmetic, and other school subjects. She interacts with the characters she can romance and progresses through events and conversations.
I wondered why she had to learn etiquette at the castle, but—well, the academy is basically for noble children who already know the manners.
Throwing an adventurer's daughter in there without any preparation wouldn't work. I skipped that part and didn't read it properly, sorry.
Anyway, I remember the protagonist was a lively girl.
Lately, I've been forgetting things more often... but it's not that I'm getting dumber! It's just that I can't remember my past life. I read somewhere that humans are generally better at forgetting than remembering, and that made sense.
Anyway, I can't remember the details of the game.
Even if I can't remember the details, I don't think it's a big problem. By the way, I haven't cleared the assassin route, so I don't know who the assassin is... I accidentally saw the bad ending on the strategy page and closed it immediately because I didn't expect to be killed and eaten.
I wonder what the normal ending was like. I should have played it. It's a waste... That game was quite expensive.
Anyway, I'm not a main character, but somehow I'm close to the romanceable characters.
Still, I'm relieved that Lady Primula is not heading towards a sad future. After all, knowing her from before birth, I have a lot of love for her. The game's tragic ending was due to a lack of parental love, and now that I know her, I can be there for her.
Lady Primula has grown into a wonderful person. The love Prince Albercht Daum shows his sister is genuine.
I hope their bond deepens even more during this short stay at the summer resort!
Still... beautiful siblings are really cute! So cute!!
"Hey, Yuria, can I have more of this snack?"
"Sure, right away."
"Hey, Primula, if you eat so much now, you won't be able to eat lunch."
"Okay... but just a little, right? Brother!"
"…Just a little."
See! See!!
Cute. Soothing. I can't help but smile. I have to keep my face neutral.
...I think I saw the two bodyguards still glaring at each other out of the corner of my eye... but I'll pretend I didn't see it.
