Not only the Empress, but also the Duke of Cardin's family hardly appeared in the original work.
A family as strange as the Duke of Iels.
I am now living in this world, not a reader, so it was only natural that I would meet a lot of new people.
I really didn't know that I would be involved with a tycoon's parental family like Empress Giselle.
"It's a bit annoying."
I don't know why, but I trembled and looked at the imperial palace.
Empress Giselle Cardin Verbent.
She is said to be the wisest and most caring of the Empresses of the Verbent Empire and is respected by everyone as a national mother.
Is it okay to dig into the back of the family of such a huge power, right?
Such a sudden investigation related to a tycoon. I didn't want to do it, but I got a strong feeling that it was too suspicious.
However, if I was hated by Empress Giselle, I was afraid of what to do.
Carol continued to say to me, who was struggling.
"Viscount Rognier was originally an important vassal who assisted the Duke of Cardin's family in their work."
"Yes, I think it was."
I nodded, remembering that I had recently studied major aristocratic families.
The assistant to the head of a high-ranking noble family is held by a subordinate nobleman who swears allegiance from generation to generation.
Just as the Viscount Lark Pollian was an aide to the Duke of Argenthoz.
To become an aide to the Duke, the pillar of the empire and the core of power, ordinary abilities were not enough.
I brushed my chin, thinking of Liana, who looked very noble on the outside and had excellent manners.
"As the heir, Liana Rognier must have received a rigorous education from an early age. But in an instant, the succession was disrupted."
"Yes."
"Viscount Rognier now..."
I frowned because I couldn't remember. After all, I hadn't studied there, and Carol replied coldly instead.
"They said he was Liana and Eudela's cousin. They say he is very lazy and greedy."
I looked at Carol with great admiration.
"Why, why?"
I clapped my hands at Carol, whose cheeks were stained with tears.
Isn't it amazing?
I was very proud that Carol, who knew everything, was my maid.
How the hell does that kid know all this?
This is more like an internet search bar than a yard kick.
"Sister, it's so nice to be with you!"
"...I'm not here to play, Eudela."
"Be quiet."
In the distance, the voices of Eudela and Liana's conversation could be heard.
The very bright voice is nice to listen to.
"Yes, I like it too."
"Hehe. Sister, everything will be fine!"
Listening to the sisters' conversations with each other, I couldn't help but smile.
I wanted them to be happy, so I said carefully.
"Something is definitely suspicious. It must have been Viscount Rognier, who was her cousin or something. So that skin diseases develop."
"I think so too."
Carroll hit back.
The role of our Carol is becoming more and more important.
I laughed and continued to struggle.
It was even more strange for Liana, who had been pushed out of the succession and kicked out, to continue to take care of nutritional supplements for someone' from the Cardin family'.
I told you that there is no favor without reason.
In addition, I was concerned that the smell of the 'Fountain of the Sun' and her nutritional supplement were similar.
I'm not 100% sure yet, but it's definitely related.
It's the Duke of Cardin's family.
By the way, has Yvonne ever encountered Empress Giselle before?
'Oh... It's a head.'
As I was about to think of Empress Giselle, my head suddenly tingled, and a terrible migraine came rushing over me.
"Why are you doing that, Princess?"
"Oh, no."
When Carol was too worried, I stroked my sore forehead and tried to make a look like it didn't matter.
However, a man's face automatically came to mind and wrinkled my impression again.
"Crown Prince Adrian Luden Verbent."
Empress Giselle's adopted son, Crown Prince Adrian, whom Empress Giselle loves very much.
What if someone from the Duke of Cardin's family was involved in the succession of Viscount Rognier, and there was an Empress there?
'Oh, no way.'
Suddenly, a chill ran down my spine, and I burst into laughter.
The caring Empress Giselle, who has taken care of and raised the male protagonist, who is not even her own child, cannot be the dark side.
It's just an incident committed by those who coveted power, simply related to the succession of the Viscount.
It should be so. Otherwise, things will be too big! I want to live quietly and comfortably.
But the more I thought about the Empress, the more annoyed I became.
'What is this?'
I didn't want to dig further, but my intuition sounded the alarm to check quickly.
Yvonne's intuition is that it is more accurate than a wild beast.
'Damn!'
I was worried and asked Carol with a sense of wonder.
"Carol. Will you be able to secretly find out about the "someone" who gave Liana the nutritional supplement? Liana and Eudela don't know."
I scratched my head because I felt so brazen as I kept making difficult requests.
"Oh, I'm sorry. It's a bit difficult, isn't it?"
Without making any effort, I am trying to solve the background investigation through a maid.
I was self-reflecting like that, but Carol nodded obediently as if it wasn't a big deal.
"Yes, Princess. I can do it. I'll take orders. Instead, please give me a few words."
Even though it was not an easy task for a maid to do, she answered so easily that I was startled and opened my eyes wide.
"What? Is it possible? How?"
Seeing me like that, Carol smiled shyly and replied.
"Of course, Princess. I am Carol Demirant. I am the niece of the information guild leader Ellery Demirant."
"You did that?"
"...He he. You didn't know after all."
Carol smiled faintly and shrugged.
No, of course I didn't know.
Why on earth is the niece of the head of the information guild coming in as a maid of my entourage?
I was getting more and more confused.
I decided to slowly find out about the information guild leader and Carol's family from someone else.
Come to think of it, when Carol explained how she learned about the Fountain of the Sun earlier, she clearly said 'aunt' first.
Good lord. If so, it must have been said directly by the head of the information guild.
In the meantime, Carol's guts seemed to be out of order, but she was the niece of the head of the information guild.
I can't believe that there is a talented person with such a huge network hidden in the closest place to Yvonne.
Is it all thanks to Carol that Yvonne, the dark side of the original work, was able to find and track down the escaped heroine Cordelia so well?
For now, I decided to resolve this question later, and allowed Carol to go out and stay overnight so that she could quickly investigate thoroughly.
"If possible, I would like you to find out what happened when Viscount Rognier succeeded five years ago."
"Yes, Princess."
Carol took the time to hand over my attendance to Eudela, and suddenly looked at me with a terrifying look.
"Why, why?"
Carol warned me fiercely.
"Oh, Princess. If you forget me, I will write the Princess's name a thousand times with a red pen in my diary."
"...I won't forget."
Carol's ridiculous threats that were not scary were absurd.
I forcibly pushed Carol's back, who was anxious and couldn't keep walking, and smiled brightly when I saw Liana come to change her clothes.
"It looks much better! Well done."
"Hmm... Princess, are you really okay with me dressing like this? It must be disgusting."
Liana, who had changed into a cool dress that revealed all the skin lesions that had spread all over her face and body, stood in front of me and asked carefully.
"Yes, I'm really fine."
Liana covered her neck with an awkward hand gesture, as if she hadn't dressed like this in a long time.
I looked straight at her and lowered my eyes a little arrogantly.
"You're my secretary. Anyway, there is nowhere else to go but here. There is almost no one to see but me."
"...Thank you for your consideration."
"What, it's not consideration, it's confinement. You have to swear not to divulge what I tell you to do in the future, and you have to write additional paperwork. Until you're healed, you have to eat and sleep here, do what I tell you to do, and live as my secretary."
"Whoa. If that's the case, that's great, isn't it?"
Liana smiled as she looked around the large space leading to my study and reception room.
That's right.
I said it was my room, but there are more than 10 spaces connected to each room that I own.
If there were no problems in my life, I would like to live in this room forever in self-confinement and rolling around.
But it's not such a relaxed situation; it's just very sad.
When I remembered my peaceful life in the near world, I felt sorry for it and pointed out the window again.
"If you want to smell the outside air, come with me."
"Would you like to take a walk with me?"
"Well, it's no problem."
I shrugged, and Liana stared at me, then opened her mouth long after.
"You're completely different from the rumors circulating in the world. I didn't know you would be so kind."
That's because I'm a different Yvonne from the old Yvonne.
I couldn't sell the truth, so I gave a different answer.
"Well, do you understand my deep meaning when people who complain that they can't recognize their successor as their successor just because they have some skin diseases?"
Then, with a slight bluff, I raised my chin slightly.
Hatred and anger flashed through Liana's eyes for a moment, then faded away.
She put her hand on her left chest and gave me a long, polite greeting
"Thank you, Princess. I will never forget this grace for the rest of my life."
"Yes, you won't forget that."
I could clearly tell from Liana's eyes and firm voice that she was sincere.
I also signaled that I trusted her, but I had no intention of revealing all my secrets.
This is my own secret.
A secret that no one can tell anyone.
But even if it wasn't Liana, I planned to choose one more person to be my secretary.
I felt that it would be too much for me to do various tasks to instruct Randy, who will run the Rhodia grass business on my behalf, and check the situation.
Because the workload is enormous.
But Yvonne was too much without her own people. It seems that she always moved alone in the original work.
No one seemed to be Yvonne's helper.
'In the original story, I didn't know that Carol was such an important person.'
Well, anyway, I wasn't as great as Yvonne was, so I was sure I wouldn't be able to do it alone in this world.
That's why I had to make my own people and get help.
'If I had realized it earlier, my life in my past life would have been different.'
Suddenly, I regretted it.
I was an orphaned child with a complex that grew up in a nursery school, and I was a foolish person who had a strong sense of pride and did not know how to ask others for help.
What if I had asked that bad shooter for help?
Or what if I complained to the boss that I couldn't stand this kind of excessive work?
At least if I had made friends and colleagues with whom I shared my heart, I wouldn't have lived such an isolated life.
I felt that Yvonne's and 'My Past Life' were strangely similar in that they had a strong sense of pride and acted alone.
'Hmm?'
A strange sense of anticipation weighed on me again, and my stomach rumbled.
I can't be like Yvonne, who has so many things.
