It's the same as saying that you resemble a talented and rich celebrity?
I laughed helplessly, barely calming my stomach, and gave Liana a chin.
"Follow me."
"Yes, Princess."
I took Liana to the study to check her abilities in general.
As Eudela boasted, Liana was very intelligent and had quite a lot of abilities.
She is a tremendous talent who can speak five languages and has studied ancient languages.
Not only national law, but also detailed administrative law, geography, diplomacy, and accounting. It was truly versatile.
She is polite, calm, quick to understand, and even diligent.
The Duke of Cardin, who controls the law and administrative power of the empire in the capital.
To become the successor of Viscount Rognier, an aide to the Cardin family, you must receive this level of education.
'It's really sad.'
Liana Rognier lost all of her education just because she had a severe skin disease.
I was very curious about the face of the current Viscount Rognier, who had written so that Liana could not receive the title of Viscountess.
I wanted to go to him right away and grab him by the collar and shake him, asking what was so good about him.
A fire suddenly erupted inside, but as I calmed down, I thought calmly
'Well, it's okay. Although she is not from the Duke of Cardin, Liana got to work for the Duke of Argenthoz, right? Let's provide much better welfare than that.'
Contrary to my determination, Liana was given a stack of papers that was more than half her height as her first task.
"Hey, what is this, Princess?"
I grinned shamelessly at Liana, who was embarrassed.
"Treatment is a cure. You have to work, Liana? This is the first mission given to commemorate becoming Princess Yvonne Argenthhoz's secretary."
Suddenly, Liana's eyes were frightened.
I tried to avoid her gaze as if staring at the evil business owner, whistling and making a fuss.
"Where to look... I'll tell you slowly. It's not a big deal..."
"Yes..."
I tried to comfort her, but she sneaked up on her with a suspicious expression as she stretched out her words.
Well, as much as the workload is large, you just need to take care of a lot of welfare.
Naturally, I have no intention of becoming an unscrupulous business owner who throws excessive work into a low salary as bad as a fat tail.
For now, I don't have any money, but I will let them enjoy welfare at the Argenthoz mansion and support the treatment of skin diseases as much as possible.
I gave instructions to Liana in the most casual manner possible.
"Look, what I gave you is a document that lists the types and numbers of monsters that have appeared in each region in the past hundred years."
"Monster... They are definitely a problem for people's safety."
As Liana was carefully flipping through a few papers, I spread out a large map on the table and picked up a pen.
"Look at each item and do this... Mark the monsters that appear in each area on this map in this way."
I referred to the document and wrote the name of the monster on one part of the map and marked the year of its appearance in parentheses.
-> Gargoyle (340 years, 13 dogs)
When I showed him an example, Liana nodded as if she understood immediately.
I put down my pen and warned her in advance.
"It's going to be a very boring job. But I can't leave it to anyone. If you don't understand the types of monsters, their numbers, and geography, you can't do it."
I don't know much about monsters, but I know about geography.
Liana added with a confident smile.
"And it's boring. If you only have something to do indoors, that's great. If you focus on something, you will be less tickled."
"Would you rather have a headache?"
I was joking, but Liana was still serious.
"That's right. If you stay still, you will only dig a dark hole and think negatively. I think it's better to die than to live like this."
As she finished speaking, she smiled self-helpingly.
The shadow in my heart seemed serious. I hope that all of her skin diseases and depression will get better soon.
It was a pity, but I didn't show it on purpose, so I encouraged Liana by patting her on the shoulder and came out of the study.
"Then good work. I have something to do."
'Actually, there was someone who was very curious about me from earlier.'
The Monster Appearance Map that I entrusted to Liana is a gift to him.
That guy is Barden Argenthoz.
I was planning a big gift for my brother.
It was said that the cycle of monster appearance was getting closer, which was very important military information, so the map should be able to find some clues.
It was also very important to continue to build friendly relations with Barden, so it would be difficult to neglect it.
And I was very worried that Barden, a drunkard who was weak in alcohol, was dying.
So I took advantage of my busy time and strode down to his room.
"Princess? Uh... why are you here?"
Standing in front of a room as gorgeous and large as my room, I looked at the maid waiting at the door in a daze.
"What? I'm here to see the little Duke, who must have come to see you? Tell my brother that I have come."
"Oh, yes."
It was the first time Yvonne had come to Barden's room, which surprised the maid.
The maid coldly entered the room and informed Barden, and soon Barden's helpless voice was heard with a grunt from inside.
"Come in..."
'Oh no.'
I went into Barden's room and went straight to the bedroom, where he was lying on the bed, looking almost dead.
Still, the white guy's face turned whiter. Snow White is also frightened and is about to hand over the main character's position.
I was worried about my fragile brother, so I kicked my tongue and let out a loud sigh.
"No, why are you so weak in alcohol?"
"...Have you ever thought you were too strong?"
Barden pouted at my pin.
Barden, who was grumbling about whether he admitted that he was weak in alcohol, drank the hangover medicine given by the doctor.
Only then did he glance at me up and down, giving me suspicious looks.
"Why are you here? Why is your hair so strange?"
Hey, what's wrong with you?
I looked at Barden's messy head and replied sulliedly, clicking my tongue again.
"It's just... I was very worried about how sick my brother was."
"Did you really think of me? So what you said before is true? You want to get along with me?"
Barden, who was talking with his eyes wide open, was in agony, clutching his hair as if the headache had started again.
"Ugh! Ugh!"
"This is water."
I hurriedly handed Barden the glass on the nightstand.
After gulping down the water, he grumbled and lay back on the bed.
Barden, who was looking up at me with a pale complexion, smiled heartily.
"Did you like the Prince so much? Amazingly, our crazy dog has changed like this due to that shock. It's amazing."
"...I can't do it. Is that still the sound?"
I gave up making any more excuses to Barden, and I just stared at him in disbelief.
Barden pointed at me with his finger and pursed his lips.
"It's amazing. I've been sick a lot since I was a child, but you've never visited me before. That's why it's strange."
'Is it sprained...?'
I was stunned and opened my mouth.
I don't think I'm recording all the days I didn't come to visit in my diary one by one.
I secretly complained to myself that I was narrow, and I thought Yvonne was also amazing.
It was really my way.
It was really cold to leave my only flesh and blood, sick or not.
I decided to apologize obediently, even for Yvonne's share.
"Well, I'm mature now. I'm sorry if you've been sad all this time, brother."
"Oh me."
Barden laughed and smiled softly.
'Wow.'
It was the first time I had seen him smile so sincerely, and I was amazed at how handsome he was.
Long live the Argenthoz gene.
He was better than I thought. It's even honest, so it's a bit cute.
Barden's attitude, as well as the way I looked at him, changed so much that I became a little awkward, so I looked elsewhere and made a fuss about it.
"The weather is very nice."
"...It's cloudy?"
As he said, the weather today was cloudy.
'Damn.'
Well, now that I've confirmed that Barden is alive and well, I'll just go back.
Because there are so many things to do.
“Hey, Yvonne.”
I was about to get up from my seat, but Barden hesitated and called out to me.
"Why?"
"Hmm. To be honest, I also went to the front of your room when you were sick last time."
Just as I was about to get up from my chair and leave, I froze in an awkward posture.
"...Yes?"
I rolled my eyes and rolled my head.
Did I get sick last time?
When the hell is it?
Yvonne Argenthoz, who can't be hurt by this powerful monster's stamina, was sick?
I can't understand it at all.
I stared blankly at Barden, and I blushed and felt embarrassed
"Well, that's how it was."
"Brother is here? When the hell?"
I couldn't remember Yvonne at all, so I panicked and hurriedly pursued him.
He avoided my eyes and hesitated to answer.
"You didn't catch a cold in your whole life and were healthy, but you got sick. So, it was around this time the year before last."
Even though Barden talked about the past in such detail, I couldn't remember it at all, so I felt uneasy.
It's like magical amnesia!
"The year before last?"
No matter how much I squeezed my brain, I couldn't remember as much as my fingernails.
Isn't this magical amnesia just general amnesia? Or Alzheimer's?!
Looking at me, Barden smiled weakly.
"You didn't even call a doctor, and you were alone for over a week, groaning and locked in your room. It was strange that it hurt so much, so I went to the front of your room. Eventually... Well, I didn't go in and take a look."
"Oh... That's right."
If I pretended that I didn't remember at all. Barden might have suspected it, so I nodded at this point.
I absorbed most of Yvonne's memories without any rejection, so why is that?
"Yes, yes, what was it like then?"
Fortunately, the new Barden knew what had happened at that time and began to talk about it.
"After attending His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's birthday banquet at the Imperial Palace the year before last, you suddenly started to feel sick. Oh, come to think of it, it's the Crown Prince's birthday banquet."
'Did I get sick after going to the Imperial palace?'
But you don't remember?
In an Instant, I remembered magical amnesia, and that part of it had no memory at all.
Wow, I'm getting goosebumps right now!
I don't think I went to a banquet at the imperial palace and got magical amnesia.
'What happened to Yvonne there?'
