"If you're so interested in me, would you like to have a cup of tea with me?"
Previous Next
Do you think you look a little like that actor?
Contrary to my worries, everyone started to tremble to see if they succeeded.
"..."
"Heeek! Go, go!"
"Oh my. Time has already come like this, hohoho."
I felt desperate to see the young girls who rejected my proposal in a panic and hurried out of the store.
'Hmm, it was tea.'
I was in a complicated mood and was staring at them through the window when the clerk approached me and said cautiously.
"Please don't be so angry, Princess. They are weak people who can't even use magic."
"...Hah."
"Sorry sorry! Ugh!"
Hey, are you crying?
It was absurd to see the clerk suddenly crying and running away after taking a breath.
I was frustrated.
'I'm too weak because I can't use magic right now!'
And I was angry with them, but I was a little envious of other girls my age shopping together, so I just stared at them for a long time.
'I don't want to get close to the kids who talk about my backstory.'
Becoming Yvonne and having a bond with her family. Now I have a desire to have friends.
When I come out into this world, I keep getting worldly greed.
'Let's not be greedy. All of this is too much for me.'
I decided to go back to my safe Argenthoz resort as soon as possible and live a comfortable life, being grateful for what I had been given.
In place of the clerk who cried and ran to the break room, another clerk accompanied me.
With the clerk shaking his hands, I picked out a race that would suit Carol.
"Here it is, Princess."
The clerk gave me a carefully wrapped gift.
When I saw the beautifully wrapped gift box, I immediately felt better.
Carol must love it.
It's hard for me, but ai'll say everything I have to say.
"...I'll come again."
"Yes, yes, yes, thank you."
Contrary to what he said, the clerk had a look on his face telling me not to come again.
If you don't come, do you want to come again?
When I came out with the clerk who was seeing me off, the escort knight who was waiting outside was very surprised and opened his eyes wide.
"Are you done already? Or whatever...?
'Aha.'
Yvonne had fun shopping by using her monster stamina all day long.
It seems strange that I finished shopping so quickly.
I pointed to the side of this big, unfilthy eye, but lively escort, and said bitterly.
"Oh, Miss, there's a bee here. Can I clean it up?"
Puff.
Hmm?
I poked it slightly with my finger, but I heard something breaking.
"Ugh, ugh!"
Suddenly, the escort knight folded his body in half and groaned in pain.
"Uh, go in!"
The clerk who came to see me off freaked out and ran inside, hurriedly closing the door.
"Does it hurt?"
"Ugh,bugh!"
"Hmm."
He couldn't even answer and let out a moan, and I coughed.
Then I looked at my hand that had attacked the side of the escort knight.
'I... Isn't that amazing? Is it a golden hand?'
However, the escort knight looked too sick to just admire it, so I immediately managed my expression.
And he trembled nervously to hide his embarrassment.
"You are a knight, but you are very stern."
The escort knight excused himself with a frustrated expression.
"Isn't the Princess strong? Ugh, you're not an ordinary person! Wow!"
Well, that's right.
Yvonne is a mage, but I know she has a ton of base health.
Yvonne worked hard to exercise and take care of herself, and even though I was lazy, her abs were still there.
If your basic physical strength and athleticism are so good, isn't it okay if you can't regain your magic?"
The hopeful thoughts flashing through my mind brightened my head and made me feel good.
I wonder if I should not waste my talents and change my job to use my body.
I clenched my fists and opened them, thinking about this and that, but the escort took two steps away from me, wondering if he had misunderstood something.
"I don't do anything."
"Yes... Please. Please do so."
I clicked my tongue as I looked back at the escort knight, who was still in tears.
'Huh?'
As I was going to the carriage with him, a strange feeling suddenly passed over me.
I guess I should say it's a strange intuition.
'What is it?'
Without realizing it, my gaze went down.
The daytime sun cast my shadow and the knight's shadow on the side of the road.
By the way.
'What's that weird?'
I narrowed my eyes and took a closer look.
'Black... Smoke? Fire?'
It was so eerie that my heart sank.
Only in my shadow, a disagreeable black haze was rising in the air.
Startled, I instinctively lifted my foot and stomped on my shadow tightly.
Quack.
Then there was a grotesque squealing noise and a horrible voice.
"Uh-huh! And, indeed, an archmage... Like this, uh, die..!"
"What?!"
"What's wrong, Princess?"
The escort stopped and looked at me in surprise.
"What? Didn't you hear anything?"
"Yes... Is that so?"
I stared blankly at the escort knight with a puzzled expression, and then lowered my gaze back to my shadow.
My shadow had returned to its normal form, and the terrifying black haze that I had seen clearly earlier had completely disappeared.
'Well... Hey?'
A misunderstanding? Nope. Absolutely not.
I quickly rolled my head to figure out what was going on.
Now, something unknown has appeared here aiming at me, and I think I accidentally stepped on it and killed it.
I got goosebumps.
'What? Why did life suddenly become a horror thriller?'
Frightened, I became scared and quickly ran toward the wagon.
Yvonne's basic physical strength, which also a fast runner, allowed me to quickly board the wagon of the Argenthoz family, which was far away.
I cried out urgently.
"Hurry up, let's get back to the townhouse!"
"Yes, yes, I understand, Princess."
The coachman replied in a puzzled voice, but quickly set off the carriage.
As the carriage began to move, I rolled my eyes and hurried to look inside.
As if to prove that it was a chariot of a wizard family, there were magic stones with defensive magic embedded in them.
I was relieved to see the knights of the Duke of Argenthoz's family following my carriage, but I was still anxious.
Hah. What the hell?"
My heart was pounding.
Could it be that there is someone who wants revenge for Yvonne's past misdeeds?
I didn't think there was such a person in the original.
'I wonder if I don't remember.'
Even if there were some people who hated Yvonne, the original work is focused only on the narrative of ML and FL, so this part cannot come out.
If it were Yvonne, she would have dealt with it with magic, but now I'm not.
'What do you think?'
I got serious and leaned my head against the seat back and moaned.
On the opposite seat, there were several gifts that the Duke of Argenthoz had purchased and loaded onto the carriage.
I raised my hands and buried my face.
"What are you going to do in such a situation? What the heck is this! I have to survive!"
I clenched my fists, thinking that my priority was to quickly regain Yvonne's magic and protect myself.
I didn't expect it to suddenly become a horror thriller.
My new life, which I thought was pretty good, began to twist somehow.

"Ugh, ugh...!"
Standing in the lush arboriculture of the Crown Prince's palace, Cordelia suddenly folded in half and let out a groan in pain.
She managed to hold on to the tree next to her to keep it from falling, but the tree trunk was burned by Cordella's hand.
Cough.
And red blood flowed from Cordella's mouth.
It was so painful that she didn't have the mind to wipe the blood off.
'My workhorse... How can you die with just one kick?!'
Cold sweat dripped down her beautiful face.
The death of the familiar spell causes serious internal injuries to the warlock who commands it.
'Just in case, I put a familiar horse on it. How did you know, the hell!'
Cordelia was barely able to calm the pain while breathing heavily, but she raised her head when she felt the presence in the garden.
'Why at this time?'
In the distance, Prince Adrian and the little Duke of the Barden Argenthoz could be seen entering the garden together.
Cordelia knew that Crown Prince Adrian was going to take a walk here today, so she was waiting to meet him here on purpose.
She had to make contact with Prince Adrian as often as possible and win his heart completely.
Recently, his relationship with Adrian, who has not been looking for her, has been very unstable.
However, she couldn't show him suspicious true self shedding blood like this.
She quickly hid behind a large tree in the garden.
Then, in pain, she gathered her magic power and hid herself.
She began to hear the conversation between Adrian and Barden, who had walked to the vicinity of Cordelia's hideout.
"It's so peaceful. Isn't the peace we have preserved very precious, little Duke?"
"Yes."
Adrian was smiling softly as he got closer, and Barden's face was sour, as usual.
'Barden Argenthoz. Yvonne Argenthoze's flesh and blood and brother.'
Cordelia swallowed her groans in pain, but watched Barden and Adrian silently.
Adrian, who had been talking to Barden about various useless topics, naturally got down to business.
"Oh, that's right. Have you ever heard of it? The new owner of Iels Townhouse is coming to the capital for the first time."
Adrian, who was as handsome as the sun, smiled, and the surroundings seemed to shine brightly.
However, Barden was even more displeased with the sunny Prince's smile.
'The Crown Prince... The rumors must have already reached my ears, but are you asking knowingly? He's a different person on the outside and on the inside.'
Indeed, Barden didn't think much of Adrian before he and Adrian went to war.
An excellent sword master who has been appointed as the Crown Prince.
A noble person who must be worshipped as the Emperor one day.
Barden felt sorry for his sister, who was rampaging like a mad dog.
However, the last time he was on the battlefield with Prince Adrian, he felt like he had fought many times.
"After all, I wasn't mistaken."
Barden felt like he could finally see Adrian's true self.
He felt sorry for Yvonne, who had a long crush on a little guy who called him on purpose and talked about the situation quietly.
'Yvonne is so heartbroken right now that she is living helplessly at home without destroying the building, which is her only joy... This one!'
He remembered Yvonne's pitiful face when she said that she had a hard time practicing forgetting the Crown Prince (although Yvonne never said that).
At the same time, the faint smile of her mother and the smile of her sister, who resembled her, overlapped and made him even more twisted.
