「Then, properly this time.

「—My name is Lapislazuli・D・Alexandrite.

「More or less, I am this country’s first princess.

「For not being able to talk about this earlier, I’m sorry.

「Ah, yeah.

「It can’t be helped since is was amnesia, for the time being.

「Sorry, Lily.

「Un, then we’re finished.

「Wait, what were we talking about?

「Hm? Right, right, I’m a princess.

「Eh, I don’t want that, honorific language.

「If you use it, I’m going to cry, okay?

「Leaving that aside, it seems that Lily has some questions, so I’ll answer them in order.

「What should I go with first?

「How about the reason that I was about to die?

「Ah, Sera, don’t cry!

「It’s already a two month old story!

「Right, I’m all better now.

「Eh? The reason I’m wearing maid clothes?

「That, can it not be now?

「Jeez, it’s Sera’s fault that the story can’t continue.

「Later, I’ll accompany you, so be quieter.

「Here, I’ll give you a lap pillow.

「…Ah, she fell asleep.

「She must’ve been quite tired.

「Okay, um, the reason that I nearly died is because, I fled the castle.

「Because I didn’t want marriage.

「Right, when was it that Lily spoke about her delusion, it was completely correct.

「It seemed that I would have been married off to a neighboring country’s prince.

「Father and Mother seemed pretty interested in it, and if I refused, it would hurt the prince’s reputation.

「I was truthfully against it, but it couldn’t be helped, so I had given up.

「At that time, I still wasn’t aware that I liked girls.

「But at that time, Horun helped plan my escape.

「Ah, Horun is my personal maid.

「It was my intention to be friends, but, that girl, she said something discourteous or what not, and in the end, I wasn’t able to tell her.

「Ah, um, I went through with the escape plan, but there was one problem.

「If I ran away like that, I didn’t want Horun to take full responsibility, I thought.

「For that reason, I put some sleeping medicine in Horun’s drink, then went to another guard for assistance.

「If it’s a guard, they won’t have to take responsibility, and it won’t pain their conscience, after all.

「Ah, I’ll talk about that reason again later.

「Right now, I’m telling this part story.

「So then, I ran away.

「But it was no good, I was soon found and chased.

「Thanks to my quick wits, I took refuge in the forest, which was fine, but I was out of breath.

「When I took a break and drank some river water, there was a sudden “There she is!” from behind.

「I was surprised and fell into the river.

「Then, I drifted and drifted until Lily’s side.

「…thinking about it now, I fell from a waterfall?

「I sure went through a lot…

「…

「Well, that sort of thing.

「Ah, right, right.

「I thought that if it was a guard, then it was fine for them to take responsibility, so to sum it up, our relationship was terrible.

「It wasn’t just the guards.

「The butlers, maids, and other nobles, except for Sera and Horun, were basically enemies.

「Why, you ask?

「Because I was a problem child.

「Hm, is that so?

「Ahaha, even for Lily, this story is embarrassing, huh…

「No, I don’t dislike it, so I’ll listen to everything.

「Speaking of being a problem child, I didn’t study any of it, noble manners and that kind of thing.

「Because you’re born into the royal family, because you’re born into a noble family, isn’t such a reason just stupid?

「From the time that I thought that, I decided to thoroughly study other things.

「Right, I studied things like housework.

「It seemed to really fit me, especially cooking.

「Also, because the eastern island country’s food is delicious.

「Next time, I’ll pound up some soba noodles♪

「Not that, its for those reasons that I’m unfit to be a noble girl, to be a princess.

「Honestly, I don’t know, kind of feeling.

「Because I didn’t study manners, I couldn’t go out into high society, which caused a storm of gossip.

「『Is Princess-sama’s condition bad again?』

「『It seems that Princess-sama likes pretending to wait on others.』

「Hah… so annoying.

「Ah, sorry, sorry, my true thoughts just,

「Since I seemed like a failure of a princess, I began to seriously like cooking, but even that was prohibited.

「Since my social status was more or less a princess, even an injury was a serious thing.

「They only treated me like a princess when it was convenient, but they didn’t want to.

「Well, I hid my cooking practice.

「Thanks to that, I can make delicious food for Lily, so for that, my foresight was bright.

「Eh? It’s wrong?

「R, right, setting that aside.

「I pretty much understand the story up until now, the people at the castle were bad.

「So frankly, I don’t care what happens to them, so I’m always cold to them.

「Well, something like that.

「Is there anything else that you’d like to hear?

「Eh? My way of speech?

「Because Sera’s is normal?

「Ah, certainly

「She has the image of a noble lady.

「I wonder why? Perhaps it’s an embodiment of her unconscious rebellious spirit?

「Should I also speak with a ‘desuwa’?

「Wai- why are you laughing!?

「Mou, Lily, you’re mean.

「…Muu

「Ah, that’s right, I should talk a bit more about Sera, huh.

「When Lily and I were talking about getting married, Sera gave her blessing normally, don’t you think it weird?

「? Isn’t it because she’s a siscon?

「No, even if you use siscon like a useful word…

「She’d say something like, ‘even though you’re both girls’?

「? Because she’s Lapis’s little sister?

「…That’s right, it’s fine to not be doubtful.

「We ran out of things to talk about.

「Since we have the chance, I’ll listen to cute stories of Sera.

「So Sera, unlike me, is really capable.

「Her noble manners are perfect, and she can easily say the names of influential nobles and merchants.

「But even then she doesn’t get arrogant, saying ‘Sister that can cook is much more amazing’

「Geez, really, my little sister is the world’s cutest♡

「? Sera also said something resembling that?

「Ahaha, the same as always, that girl

「Hm? What? Only one more?

「Did you not know of the existence of magic and witches?

「Ah— now that you mention it, there was a passage

「There was a secret passed down in the royal family for generations and something or other

「I don’t really remember, but it was something like that?

「Anyhow, it’s because I was a problem child!

「…It’s not like I’m acting arrogant.

「…Heh, Sera knew about witches.

「As expected of Sera, she’s only studious.

「That girl, her thoughts are really fast and she is really good with her words.

「She also got Lily?

「…I only spoke a little

「You lost a battle of words to an 18 year-old girl, 6332 year-old.

「Uwah, don’t get angry.

「I’m angry since there’s various things that need to done from now on.

「…Unusually I don’t mind, but you’ll need to return to the castle, huh.

「Right, it’s a pain, but for Lily and I to live in happiness, it is necessary.

「With Lily’s power (magic) and Sera’s power (wisdom), it’ll be over soon.

「Nee, I’ll help♪

「—Thanks♪

「I love you, Lily♡」

(TL note: Apologies for any mistakes with meaning or pronouns, I had no idea who was talking sometimes. Also, Happy Valentine’s Day.)
