Chapter 67

Princess Primera was delighted that His Highness the Prince had invited her to share dinner. How adorable.

I asked Metabon to adjust the number of people and rearrange the menu, and he said he would keep the fish but make it more substantial. This guy is really something!

Still, His Highness the Prince, who had come during a break from work, said he would finish one more task before having dinner here and then left. Thank you for everything.

"Hey, did you solve Yuria's problem?"

"I can't say it's completely resolved... but I feel like I've found a lead."

"That's great! I thought it would be best if Primera could help, but I figured someone with more life experience would be better. Asking Uncle was the right choice!"

"Hehe, just knowing that you feel that way makes me happy, Princess Primera."

No, really.

Just having such an innocent and loving child by my side is so healing!

Recently, she's been enjoying correspondence with Sir Dean Dain, which makes me a bit jealous.

But, oh, she's so cute. She's happy just to receive a letter, and even happier when she reads the content. I'm starting to think this girl is an angel.

I wonder if I'm okay!

"By the way, a new maid is coming tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, it's Lady Scarlett from the Pigeot Marquis family. However, she has asked that we not treat her differently because of her background."

"Should I not ask too many details?"

"...No, I think it's better for you to know as the mistress of this princess palace."

It's a rather embarrassing story.

I don't want to tell Princess Primera, but... there's no way Lady Scarlett can hide it. It would be obvious, and it might shock her.

It might be better to prepare her in advance! Mainly for my stomach.

So, I gave a brief explanation of Lady Scarlett.

She has a difficult personality, a high sense of pride as a noble, and poor teamwork.

Due to her relationship with the head of the inner palace, these issues couldn't be corrected, so she was transferred to the princess palace.

In summary, that's the situation!

Princess Primera, who had been listening, looked surprised with her big eyes.

"Really... there are all kinds of maids! No, I've heard from Miss Bianca that there are many noblewomen with unique personalities, so I guess that's to be expected."

"Exactly! Just think of them as having unique personalities!"

"Yes, I understand."

"I plan to focus on Lady Scarlett's education, so I would like you to review the preferences of the guests for the garden party, Princess Primera."

"Understood."

This time, the guest Princess Primera will host at the garden party is from the Shagran Kingdom.

I thought the Grand Duchess would attend, but she is under house arrest due to a previous issue, and the other country probably feels bad about it. This time, a minister from their country will come.

Of course, as a guest, the minister and his family, along with a few nobles and their guards, will be here.

To make the conversation lively, we need to know their preferences, so this is a big job for Princess Primera.

Until now, she has only occasionally appeared in social settings as a sheltered young lady, but it's time for that to change. Being entrusted with a host role this time, Princess Primera is incredibly motivated.

It's so cute to see her work hard!

"By the way, I've decided on the dress design!"

"Oh, that's exciting."

"Here it is... I chose this design!"

I knew several design sketches had been submitted to Princess Primera.

She would choose her favorite, and then select the fabric and jewels.

I took the design sketch she offered, expecting something innovative from the old seamstress.

The bodice has pleats, the sleeves are slim and lacy, and the straight skirt has pleats on one side... Grandma, isn't this a bit too mature? But if Princess Primera likes it, that's fine.

"The color will be a slightly subdued orange! And I want to wear the necklace given to me by Sir Dean Dain... What do you think?"

"I think it's fine. It's a beautiful necklace, and the color you chose will surely match it."

"Right!"

Princess Primera laughed happily... Oh, she's become a girl in love!

Sir Dean Dain will probably attend the garden party, so I hope they can have a conversation. Well, Princess Primera has her duties as a royal, so it might just be a greeting.

"Even just seeing him is enough to make me happy."

When I said that, Princess Primera smiled and replied.

Oh, how earnest! So, just seeing him is enough. That's the power of love!

Yeah, I can understand that.

...Wait, can I really understand?

Anyway, I need to work hard for the garden party too!

I've been saying I'll work hard for a while now, but I need to keep saying it to motivate myself... it's a kind of self-hypnosis.

Look, I have more educational and extra work to do.

By the way, I haven't heard from the head maid of the outer palace. I hope she didn't cancel...?

If that happens, it will just lead to more rumors and trouble, and I'll be called by the head maid again...

No, she wouldn't, right?!

"Hey, Yuria! I want to change my hairstyle before Uncle arrives."

"Yes, right away."

"By the way, what's for dinner tonight?"

"Metabon said it will be a fish dish."

"Right, Uncle looks very tired, so I hope it will cheer him up."

"...Princess Primera, you are truly kind."

"It's thanks to everyone."

Ugh... what a good girl!

The Emperor and Empress still don't know this lovely Princess Primera. Serves them right.

Oops, I'm being mean again!

"What hairstyle would you like?"

"Well... something a bit more mature! It's a special dinner with Uncle, after all."

"Understood."

She's still a child!

But that's fine, she's my precious child. I'll cherish and love her.

Please be spoiled and happy.

...I'll work hard for the garden party and education too...!!
