The Lady Wants To Rest

Maybe it was due to the long lecture on mannerisms, but she had on an expression as if her soul had left her body.

“Would you like to learn other different manners? There’s a lot for me to teach.”

“……!”

She came to her senses and lowered her head.

“N, no! I’m thankful for just this much! I have a prior appointment to hurry to, so, later!”

The girl hurried away without even looking back. It seemed she had totally forgotten about how she had harassed the commoner girl.

I looked back at Marie with a refreshed face.

“Let’s go now. We have to earn money.”

But Marie’s eyes looked a little odd.

She looked at me with large eyes. Her eyes swirled with envy, respect, admiration, and affection.

“Why are you looking at me like this? I said, let’s go.”

“Milady.”

“Yes?”

“I respect you! You’re definitely my lady. From now on, milady will forever be my lady!”

What? Why is she like this?

Marie wasn’t the only one who looked at me burdensomely.

Those who had gathered around and seen both the aristocratic girl and myself, especially the students from common households, were looking at me with a surprised gaze.

The gazes were far too burdensome for me to handle, so all I could do was draw an astonished face.

Just then, a trembling voice called out to me.

“T, thank you, your Highness.”

Furrowing my eyebrows, I turned my head to find the commoner girl lowering her head towards me.

“…….”

“Truly… truly thank you. For someone with no relation to you….”

The girl closed her mouth mid sentence as if her throat dried out.

I crossed my arms and pursed my lips.

“But I didn’t do it for you?”

“Yes?”

“I just wanted to teach that girl named Meyna some manners? Even if I don’t seem like it, I am quite the polite girl, you know.”

However, no matter how much I told her not to misunderstand me, whatever she had misunderstood, the girl seemed to grow much more moved than before.

Hm, it’s not a good reaction.

The girl wiped away her tears with her sleeve and smiled with red eyes.

“I suppose you’re saying that so I won’t feel burdened. Anyways, I understand, Your Highness.”

Then, she bowed her head. It was a greeting filled with sincerity.

“My name is Millia. Though Your Highness disagrees, I will never forget what you’ve done for me today.”

If I let her be, she seemed as though she would do anything to repay me, so I hurriedly left the location.

Once we passed the campus gates and left the Academy, Marie asked.

“You stood up for her, right?”

“Even if I don’t say so….”

However, Marie laughed as she understood.

“But, where are we going?”

“We’re going to go earn money.”

“A music performance this time too?”

Marie asked as though she’d recalled the last time.

However, I shook my head. While I could earn money by performing on the streets, rumors about me would spread through Renault Academy.

“This time, I’m going to earn money in a different way.”

“……?”

Marie looked curious.

I didn’t answer and only continued to walk.

Soon we arrived in front of a big building.

“Milady? H, here? You’re going to earn money here?”

Marie, who’d recognized the identity of the building, stuttered as if flustered.

“I’m going to earn money here.”

“B, but….”

“Is there a problem?”

At my question, Marie firmly nodded as though it was a big problem.

“This is definitely a problem! This is a casino!”

That was correct. The identity of this building was a casino.

This time, I was planning on earning money through gambling.

At the same time, at the campus that Rubia and Marie had left, there were those with an odd look on their faces.

“It seems that some great freshmen came in this time. No, should I say, future sister-in-law?”

He was a youth with light blue hair and eyes the color of the ocean. The youth with a clear impression whistled.

“I didn’t think my future sister-in-law would be such a charming person. Just from the rumors, I had thought she was merely a cowardly princess, right?”
