Chapter 94

Today, I am attending to Lady Primera.

I can really feel that I’ve been living a fulfilling life lately… hehe. No, I don’t show it on my face, though.

The garden party was hectic, and it’s been busy since then, but don’t you think my life is incredibly fulfilling?

Well, about the conversation with Mr. Eren the other day, it would be unnatural to keep it to myself… but how should I bring it up in the most natural way? I need to consult with the Prince and the Dowager Queen, and I also need to inform the Chief Maid… and probably the Head of the Outer Palace too.

But thinking about it, didn’t I say I wouldn’t spread it around? Isn’t it a bit much?

That’s the conclusion I’ve come to.

Still, I’m supposed to talk to the Captain of the Royal Guard and Lord Baum, who is highly trusted by His Majesty. If I hesitate, they might start speculating, which would be really troublesome!

I want to get it over with quickly. I think the best approach is to report to the Chief Maid and have her inform the Head of the Outer Palace. She will decide which information to pass on.

This isn’t about relying on others, you know.

By the way, the Tarte Tatin was well-received by Aldar too.

Lady Primera loved it so much that we’re making it again soon! When she said with an angelic smile, “You know! It was amazing! So delicious!!” with a blush, I just had to make it again. I’ll put all my effort into it. I might even want to buy out an entire apple orchard.

No, I don’t have that kind of financial or management capability, and I know we don’t need that many Tarte Tatins. I’m being calm.

She also said she wants to serve it at the tea party with Lord Dean Dain after the birthday celebration. I’ll do my best!

Sigh… Lady Primera is so cute… too cute… she’s so soothing.

It’s getting a bit colder lately, so she’s using a knee blanket, which makes her look even cuter! She looks so tiny and adorable!

But seriously, she needs to be careful not to catch a cold. While a cute sneeze from Lady Primera would be adorable, her healthy self is the best.

The upcoming birthday celebration is an important event, but it would be a shame if her adorable wish to celebrate her brother’s birthday was hindered by a cold!

So, I’ve been making more ginger tea lately. It’s warming, you know.

“By the way, Yuria, my grandmother wants to see Primera about some accessories. She’ll be coming this afternoon, so be prepared.”

“Understood, Lady Primera.”

“I’m looking forward to it… I wonder what kind of accessories! Right, Yuria?”

“Yes, I’m looking forward to it too.”

The birthday celebration is a ceremony to celebrate the ‘Crown Prince’s’ birthday, so it’s customary for the royal family to wear traditional formal attire. Of course, Lady Primera is no exception, and it’s just a matter of adjusting the size.

Instead, she gets new accessories every year, but this year, the Dowager Queen suggested using something she used when she was young. She wants to give it to Lady Primera now because it’s a valuable item… It’s a precious piece! It even includes something she brought with her when she married into the royal family… I’m sure it has great historical value.

While I’m at it, I want to talk about the matter I mentioned earlier.

I don’t think the Dowager Queen knows everything and is just using this as an excuse to talk to Lady Primera… No, I shouldn’t doubt her! I’m not thinking that… I’m not thinking that at all!!

…Well, I don’t think so, but I do think they know about my relationship with Aldar. But it’s not to point out that I can’t even say his name, right…?

No! I need to change my mindset!!

The dress Lady Primera will wear for the birthday celebration is a simple off-white dress made of matte fabric, with a white fur cape… She looks like an angel! No, a princess.

It’s so cliché, but every year I get so excited because it suits her so well, making her look so cute and beautiful. My vocabulary just can’t keep up! It’s that amazing. Simple yet incredibly beautiful… it’s the best, isn’t it?

Incidentally, the Crown Prince will also wear white.

This is to show that the Crown Prince and his siblings are pure and will serve the country and its people with integrity. The siblings are included because, in case something happens to the Crown Prince, they serve as backups.

While it’s male-dominated, a queen could also be established in this country.

Of course, Lady Primera is a genius, cute, and beautiful, and she could become a queen that the whole country would fall in love with! But unfortunately, she’s planning to marry Lord Dean Dain and become a super cute couple!!

I have the honor of witnessing such a ceremony from the perspective of a servant, and that’s enough for me.

Lady Primera’s beauty is getting more refined every year, so I’m looking forward to her makeup and everything. I need to think about her hairstyle too!

Last year, the circlet made of pearls and emeralds was beautiful and gave a sense of the coming spring. This year, she’ll choose from the items the Dowager Queen is giving her. While circlets have been popular recently, tiaras were the norm during the Dowager Queen’s time, right?

In any case, I’m looking forward to it!!

…Since I’m so excited, I know I should take care of the scary part quickly.

I know… I’m going to the Chief Maid’s office now…

“Lady Primera, I have a report to make to the Chief Maid, so I will be stepping out for a while. If you need anything, please call Sebastian.”

“Yes, I understand. I only have a class with Ms. Bianca today, so I’ll be fine. Still, things have been busier since the garden party… I hope the castle calms down before the birthday celebration.”

“…Indeed. The maids are still a bit unsettled… I apologize for any inconvenience.”

“It’s fine. It was really hectic at the time… Is Maina and Scarlett doing okay?”

Lady Primera turned to the two maids behind me with a caring expression. Maina looked happy, and Scarlett, for some reason, puffed out her chest and said, “Yes!” and “Of course!” at the same time.

I vowed to correct them later with a “Thank you for your concern.”

Well, if asked whether I need to be that strict, it’s a bit complicated, but I need to educate them to be maids who won’t embarrass us anywhere. As the head maid, I have a responsibility.

I want them to be able to hold their heads high wherever they go, even if they leave here someday.

When Lady Primera eventually marries, whether she stays in this castle or returns to find a husband or works elsewhere, such things will happen.

Perhaps I might even go with her to the Baum family…

…But before all that, I need to go to the Chief Maid’s office and talk to her with confidence.

No, I’ll do my best, Yuria! If I work hard here and gain allies, I can handle any dangerous elements. If there’s nothing, it will just be seen as a transmigrant heroine taking precautions for her own safety.

For the sake of everyone’s, Lady Primera’s, and my own peaceful life!

“Yuria? Is something wrong?”

“No, nothing. I’ll be going now. Maina, Scarlett, I’ll leave it to you.”

“Yes! I’ll do my best!!”

“Leave it to me!”

“…Both of you, be a bit more ladylike… Sebastian, please take care of them.”

“Everything will be taken care of, including those two.”

I nodded back to Sebastian, who nodded solemnly, but I didn’t miss the displeased looks on Maina and Scarlett’s faces.

More strict lessons with Sebastian, I guess…
