Even life...?
Carol tends to be overly loyal to me.
I wondered why on earth this was happening, but I nodded, acknowledging that there are people like this.
“...Yes. And, I won’t die. You won’t die either. We’ll definitely survive.”
“I know, Princess. Who am I? I am your personal maid.”
Carol grinned and shrugged.
Our Carol is becoming more and more shameless.
I miss Carol a little bit, who used to tremble just looking at me...
I looked at Carol, who was now so skilled at it, and said, remembering the sight of the rookie maid Carol.
"Now, Empress Giselle's side will begin secretly tracking down the nobles. In particular... those who disappeared after a certain point in time. That will include me and Duke Iels."
I stopped talking until I reached that point and tapped the table as I asked Liana.
"It's not usually a bad thing to go back in the middle of a banquet. Could they use that as an excuse to officially go around and track down the nobles?"
"Hmm."
Liana, who had been thinking for a moment while fiddling with the bridge of her glasses, immediately gave an answer.
"Of course. There are many reasons. For example, the most common one is to personally check with noble families to find the owner of a valuable item someone lost during a banquet."
“...Ah. I see.”
I burst out laughing as I realized something.
I really seem to be lacking in strategy and trickery.
I prided myself on being a genius, but what is this...?
Well, objectively speaking, Yvonne Argenthoz was a woman who was only crazy about magic.
'Let's reflect.'
Still, I'm fortunate enough to have met some great people. This life, which has returned like a miracle, I'll try to live well again.
As I was making up my mind, Carol said:
"Understood, Princess. I'll check with the noble families in the palace to see if they're looking for someone. If any palace personnel come to the Argenthoz family, I'll let you know immediately."
“I will go and check the situation inside the Argenthoz mansion.”
Liana continued speaking, and the two soon disappeared from my sight.
Left alone, I imagined Empress Giselle, furious, ordering the hunt for the one who killed the snake familiar.
Even though the snake familiar was dead, wouldn't he have guessed that the one who escaped was badly injured by it?
'I can't get caught. I can't even use magic yet.'
As I became anxious, my hands began to sweat.
"Princess, I brought it here. I'll take it to the lab for you."
At that moment, Eudela came in with extra bedding and headed straight to the lab.
I jumped up from my seat, snatched the bedding from Eudela, and stood in the way.
“No! I’ll take it.”
“Princess, in person?”
"Yes."
After hearing my answer, Eudela closed her mouth, narrowed her eyes like a fox, and laughed heartily.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Oh my~ Yes, yes! That’s right. I brought plenty of bedding!”
“...What? Why are your eyes sparkling like that?”
“My eyes are cloudy like a dead fish. Why are they like that, haha?”
'This!'
“Go. Go quickly, Princess! Hurry, hurry!”
I couldn't say a word to the maid who dared to tease her master, so I walked stiffly to the study with a face as red as a tomato.
‘I’m just bringing you a pillow and a blanket...’
Why am I suddenly embarrassed?
And Eudela is funny too?
Since Rudnine is tall and has a good build, of course, I should bring a generously sized bedding.
There's no way the two of us will ever lie down together!
The more I think about it, the more I feel like I'm falling into a strange fantasy and becoming the only beast.
'Ugh!'
Now is not the time to be thinking like that, Yvonne Argenthoz!
But just imagining lying next to him was an honor, so I ended up screaming loudly as I hit the hallway wall near the entrance to the lab.
“Whoa, Whoa!!! I don’t know!”
"What's wrong, Yvonne?"
Suddenly, Pembe, who was inside, came running and asked urgently, startled by my screams like a crow.
“It’s nothing.”
"What?"
I answered very shamelessly and calmly, and went inside carrying the bedding.
And then I gently placed the bedding next to Rudnine, who was still lying motionless on the lab floor.
Closed eyes.
Looking at his complexion, it seems like he must have fallen asleep...
I squatted down next to him.
Then I asked Pembe, who was sitting next to me and looking at Rudnine with me, seriously.
“...Pembe. Be honest. The truth is, I kidnapped this man, but didn’t I lose my memory?”
"Well, looking at Yvonne's sinister expression right now, it makes sense... No. This man is the one who kidnapped you."
“How sinister...! Ahem.”
I couldn't believe Rudnine was in my lab, so I made a silly joke, but Pembe's answer made my mouth twitch.
Oh my god. This guy kidnapped me?
There's no way that's possible, right?
By the way, come to think of it, Rudnine had said something like that in passing before.
He said he wanted to kidnap me.
It was difficult to control this feeling of my heart pounding and jumping up and down, as if the clown was ascending to heaven.
So I hit Pembe on the back and made a fuss.
“Oh my. Yah~~~! Rudd kidnapped me, that’s crazy~~~, that’s ridiculous!”
"Ugh!!! Save this familiar!!!"
Pembe fell down from my spicy touch and rolled far away, crying loudly.
“Oh, sorry.”
"Ugh!!! This really hurts! I almost died!"
“Sorry, sorry.”
I had to apologize several times and appease Pembe.
Ugh, why am I so strong and clueless?
I think I used to live without really caring about whether I was strong or not...
Having lived an ordinary life in another world, I feel like this kind of strength is a great fortune.
I have to use this power well somehow.
If a group of warlocks attacks me, I have to subdue them by force.
I clenched and unclenched my fist, closed my eyes for a moment, then opened them again. Then I burst out laughing.
My memory returned, but as expected, I still suffered from magical amnesia. It seems I need to consume an entire kilogram of Thiel's magic stones to fully recover.
'I have to hurry. I have to get my magic back before Empress Giselle and her men find me.'
I placed a pillow around Rudnine's neck and covered him with a blanket, then carefully wiped his face with a wet towel.
"Wow."
He's already handsome, but he shines even more when you polish him.
But, Rudnine didn't even move an eyelid, even though I was wiping it so hard.
How difficult it must have been to sneak into the Argenthoz mansion carrying my heavy body.
Didn't you faint because of me, not because of the aftereffects of the familiar's poison?
I stared at him blankly.
'I'm sorry...'
And thank you.
Even though he confessed that he likes me, what should I do if he sacrifices himself to help me like this?
Even though he knew it was the poison of the familiar, he sucked it out with his mouth and got rid of it.
The more I think about it, the more reckless it feels, and my heart sinks.
'It was dangerous.'
I suddenly looked back and forth between his lips and my calf.
First aid.
Yes... It was an unavoidable emergency, first aid.
'With those beautiful lips, my calves?'
Why... why do I feel so resentful towards that little brat who fainted without seeing the situation?
Puck.
I punished myself by hitting my head.
'Miss, it hurts.'
I was clutching my head at this wicked idea of turning an emergency situation into a slightly cheesy one, and it really hurt.
After getting hit by me earlier, I suddenly felt sorry for Pembe, who was still far away and crying.
'Our Pembe must have been in a lot of pain.'
Ha.
I was completely captivated by him, and now I'm in big trouble, having owed him my life.
I sighed as I looked at Rudnine, who was still asleep with his eyes closed.
You said you liked me, right? I... I'm so desperate to give you my whole life. What should I do now?
The weight of my feelings is so different. What if he runs away because he feels burdened by knowing my feelings?
'It's ruined.'
"You like that guy that much? I guess you two are truly in love."
As I was looking at him with longing, Pembe, who seemed to have gotten better at the place where I hit him, slowly approached me and teased me.
"What?"
"Yvonne. If you pounce on someone while they're sleeping, you're trash. Your eyes are too full of desire!"
"Hahaha! You sinister familiar. You misunderstood. This is the look of concern for a sick person."
"Hmm~ Realllyyyyy?"
I turned my head, trying to ignore Pembe, who still doubted me.
Ugh, it stung.
I'm grateful that you saved my life, and I'm also feeling complicated because I like you more...
First of all, this man lying here in my space right now is so cool, handsome, and perfect.
This is the first time I've seen someone with their eyes closed for so long. How could his eyelashes be thicker and denser than mine?
The skin is so clear and clean that it is almost transparent.
The high nose bridge and jawline are perfectly proportioned and well-cut, and the red lips are so pretty and plump that they look like flower petals...
I was captivated by him, but then I suddenly realized that I was too close to him and quickly moved away.
“Hmm. It’s dangerous, really.”
I kept my distance, hugged my knees, rested my chin on them, and watched him, then quietly called Pembe.
“Come here.”
I continued speaking to Pembe, whose ears were pricked up.
"You're talking about the cause of my Magic Earring Bomb artifact's self-destruction. You were absolutely right."
"Right?! Somehow. I said it was strange. I'm the smartest familiar, the one who handles magic the best out of all the familiars. I must have been in another world, right? That's why my magic was shaken?! But... You didn't believe me during the day, so why are you acting like this now? Tsk."
The pink hamster that had been squirming started grumbling. It was so cute.
If it weren't for the familiar, I'd be going around bragging to everyone that that hamster is my magic hamster.
I stared at Pembe with my head tilted, hesitated, and finally confessed.
“Um... Actually, my memory was hazy until the daytime. After I visited the palace, my memory came back.”
"Memories? You lost your memories?"
"Yes. Very partially. I had to travel to another world to heal an injury I had previously suffered. That caused my magical powers to falter, and the unstable magical artifact must have self-destructed."
"I see. But, Yvonne, going to another world and returning from it is incredibly difficult. You're truly amazing!"
“Of course. I’m a genius.”
As Pembe's large eyes grew even bigger, I shrugged my shoulders, just as Pembe had done just now.
Well, it's true.
To be honest, it was a very difficult formula to figure out, and I wouldn't have been able to do it without Yvonne.
Besides, as I said before, it would require too many magic stones, so this research would be something a poor wizard would never be able to accomplish.
'Ugh, my money...'
People around me misunderstood that I was wasting money on extravagance, but that's not true!
'Tch.'
I grumbled and checked my magical power again, but it was very small compared to before.
That is, they cannot use magic, cannot read magic books, and cannot create magic artifacts.
I need to hurry up and get some Thiels and eat them.
According to Baron Gardner, the owner of the Thiels Magic Stone mine, he suddenly closed the mine.
'There are so many weirdos out there. I'll have to meet that guy and threaten him to make him reopen.'
I was getting anxious, and I was fiddling with my lips.
Carol tends to be overly loyal to me.
I wondered why on earth this was happening, but I nodded, acknowledging that there are people like this.
“...Yes. And, I won’t die. You won’t die either. We’ll definitely survive.”
“I know, Princess. Who am I? I am your personal maid.”
Carol grinned and shrugged.
