'Arthur Rognier. The current Viscount Rognier.'
I watched Eudela run amok on the street, cursing her cousin, who was ten years older than her.
Then she glanced at Liana, and she was lost in her own thoughts.
At that moment, Liana, who made eye contact with me, opened her mouth.
"Eudela. The princess didn't specifically name Arthur Rognier as Viscount now. Stay still."
"Huh? Isn't it Arthur Rognier?"
"Princess. If you have investigated anything without our knowledge, please tell us honestly, I won't be shocked."
"Hmm..."
I hesitated, and Liana spoke first.
"You already know the person who gave you nutritional supplements, right? Your Aunt Lady Allenthia."
"Yes, that's right...."
I blurted out the end.
Lady Allenthia.
She is the mistress of the Duke of Cardin.
Even if they look fine on the outside, if you look closely, they say that every family has some kind of problem.
The Dukes of Cardin and the Viscount of Rognier also had some problems.
The sister of the previous Viscountess Rognier, who assisted the Duke of Cardin's family, became the Duke of Cardin's mistress.
It is said that the Duke's wife, the Duchess of the Cardin family, passed away 10 years ago, and Lady Allenthia, the mistress, now rules the family as if she were the hostess of the Cardin family.
Empress Giselle says that even though the government plays the role of hostess of her own family, the Duke of Cardin, she doesn't show any signs of disliking.
Well, that's called a family affair, but the hell is it...
When I said nothing with my eyebrows tucked together, Liana, who had guessed the situation, spoke again.
"Why did my aunt give me such nutritional supplements? Does my mother know this? So, is my aunt the maker of the spring of the sun?"
Liana, who had always been calm, clutched her trembling hand tightly, confused.
I groaned.
"It's still hard to say for sure."
Then, I looked around to see if anyone was listening and opened my mouth again.
"Let's do it well. Calm down. The first thing to do is to track down the creator of the Fountain of the Sun. I should meet Arthur Rognier, too."
"Yes."
"You guys in particular need to be more careful, don't take a step out of the Argenthoz mansion here. Don't worry, I'll take care of your mother's safety a little more."
"We are causing unnecessary concern and trouble to the Princess and the Argenthoz family."
Liana lowered her head, as if she had realized it belatedly.
I laughed.
"Now? No, it is not. As I said, you can blame me. No, we took advantage of each other. Thanks to you, I have confidence in my cure."
"...I see. It is the only cure for this skin disease."
Liana's eyes lit up.
"Yes."
"And the Princess is going to sell this remedy, bath bombs?"
"Of course."
Liana looked at my confident smile, her eyes blinking carefully as she struggled.
She seemed to be coming up with a better way to sell.
I felt good because I felt like I had a wise bookkeeper by my side. Was this how Liu Bei, who gained the resonance of Jegal, felt?
I laughed and fell into another problem that I had buried earlier.
'How the hell did Cordella know that Rhodia grass is a cure? I want to meet Cordelia and ask her openly. There is a huge dark veil in the fountain of the sun right now. Do you know about it?
Cordelia is said to be staying in the palace now.
What should I do to make contact with her?
Did I go to the tea party that Cordella hosted at the Crown Prince's palace the other day?
'Well, that's nonsense.'
I shook my head and got ready to sleep. At that time, Liana brought me a map of monsters that I had given her as her first task.
"Oh, well done."
Liana's handwriting was neat and more organized than I expected, which I even admired.
So when I praised her loudly, Liana was very happy.
I smiled and decided to run errands for Liana myself.
"Deliver this to the Little Duke of Barden Argenthoz, and I told him I gave it to him as a gift. As soon as he confirmed the contents, tell him that Princess Yvonne asked for pocket money."
"...Come and get the money from the little Duke of Barden right away?"
"Yes."
Liana accepted my order, but her expression was full of suspicion.
She looked at me and hesitated, then carefully rolled up the map and left the room.
I wanted to brag to Barden about how good a secretary I had.
And now that Liana has also been cured of a skin disease, as my bookkeeper, she should practice standing in front of people.
In addition, I believed that Liana would be smarter than me and be able to beat Barden and steal a lot of pocket money.
"Yes."
It was very late at night, so I changed into my pajamas, got into bed, sat down, stretched out, and yawned.
Then Eudela turned around, placing a small domed plate on the nightstand next to my bed.
I asked, staring at the plate.
"What are you leaving behind?"
"The Princess's snack at dawn. You might wake up at dawn to work, but you go out."
"...Am I that diligent? And I'm not the type to eat that much."
"No. Our princess can't disappear from this world, even if it's just 1 gram. You know? If you feel even a little hungry, open the lid and eat it right away!"
Good lord. It seems that Eudela's blind faith and madness towards me have intensified.
I couldn't stop it anymore, so I reluctantly nodded.
The sweet smell wafted from the bedside, and I wanted to move it to another place right away, but thinking of Eudela's sincerity, I held back and turned his body to the other side.
This time, the cool summer night air came in through the open window.
Oh, it's cool.
And I want to see Rudd.
What, why is the conclusion like that?
By the way. Rudnine Iels, why don't you contact me when you say you're going to contact me?
"Ugh..."
I touched my cheek, which still seemed to have warmth.
I really didn't want to wash it, but I couldn't overcome Eudela's torch and ended up having to wash my face, including taking a shower.
However, the feeling he left on my cheek was still so vivid.
His scent, his trace.
It remains deep in my heart... My first love.
Tuduk, tuk tuk.
"Oh "
I heard the sound of water dripping, so I stood up.
It starts to rain.
As I watched the summer rain that began to fall in the middle of the night through the window, I lay down again and went to sleep.
Thinking of Rudnine standing in the rain made me laugh.
What's wrong with that man? Whoa. I laughed to myself and fell asleep like that.
But how long did I fall asleep?
I felt something strange.
Yes. Yvonne's astonishing and terrifying shock.
So I opened my eyes even though I was deeply asleep.
Oh my God, what is that!
"Ugh."
Through the window that I had opened to listen to the cool sound of summer rain, ominous dark red smoke was creeping in.
I was out of breath and choked with fear and anxiety.
I was so frightened that I couldn't speak, and my body stiffened.
What should I do right?
This was not a dream, but a definite reality.
I decided that if I cried and whined or cried out for help, it would be too late.
Thinking that I couldn't afford to hesitate anymore, I jumped out of bed and picked up my pillow.
Then I clenched my lower lip and swung wildly at the dark red smoke that was trying to take over my room.
'Somehow, yes, this damn fate, whatever! With that feeling.'
"lyaaah!"
To overpower the steamer, spirit is essential. The one with the loudest voice wins!
I mustered up a little more courage, held on to the pillow, and swung it harder.
"Hyaaah!!
Just like a shaman exorcism.
"Cough, uh-!!!
But did it work?
A painful, tearing scream echoed through the room in time with the movement of the pillow.
The grotesque, resounding sound was certainly similar to the echo of a voice I had heard when I stepped on the black shadow in the Nasiel district.
"Ugh... Wow!!"
"Turn it off, turn it off!"
The sound he screamed was so loud that my ears hurt like I was bleeding, but I held back and swung the pillow like crazy.
It really worked.
The dark red smoke was cringing and retreating from my pillow.
I opened my eyes in surprise and looked closely, and I took a breath.
I could see a faint but light purple light flowing out near the pillow I was swinging.
And at the same time, I realized that it was my magic.
'I guess it had the effect of grinding the Thiels that Rudnine gave me earlier!'
Relieved that I was no longer just the powerful Yvonne Argenthoz, I raised my chin and glared arrogantly at the dark red smoke.
Then, I taunted him with my fingers, spinning the terrifying weapon and pillow loaded with my magical power.
"Hey, you bastard. Did you know who I was? I, huh? I'm a wizard!!!"
"Wow-!!!"
Hmm. Somehow, I feel like my screams are a little less than before, but I guess it's my mistake.
I didn't look at the situation.
In fact, the size of the dark red smoke was shrinking as I excitedly swung the pillow like a fist.
Eventually, the dark red smoke crawled under the nightstand next to my bed and hid in small clumps.
I was dumbfounded and pulled up the corners of my mouth.
"If you hide, do you hide?"
I saw a dark red, hazy cloud as small as my fist hidden under the night table. I stepped on it and raised my foot to kill it.
That must be a familiar.
I opened my eyes and thought.
'Wait. If I kill this guy now... I don't know why someone keeps sending a familiar to me, right?'
Let's catch him and threaten him somehow to find out.
I quickly looked around and saw the plate and dome lid that Eudela had placed on the nightstand.
"That's right."
I picked up the plate and the dome lid and quickly snatched the familiar cloud hiding under the nightstand.
"I got it, you guys!"
"Wow!"
What the heck. Why do you cry so pitifully? Anyone will think I'm a villain.
I was dumbfounded, so I pressed the lid even tighter to subdue the guy who was struggling to escape from inside the dome lid.
