“yes?”
“Oh, no.”
Special feelings are not necessarily limited to romance between a man and a woman.
I have already been dumped by three people in this world. Duke Bruedel, Hamel, and Rudyard.
There’s no need to get dumped by one more person just because you’re excited, right?
“miss.”
Belle’s warm hand rested on my shoulder as I remained silent.
“I understand that you don’t trust His Highness Klaus. It may be presumptuous, but Bell has been serving the young lady for a while and has seen her focus on her relationship with the Duke of the North.”
“uh?”
“Still, Belle, I hope that you will quickly shake off your hurt and enjoy new encounters. You are still young.”
… … what?
Now, do you think that I can’t open my heart to Klaus because of the heartache I got from not being with the Duke of the North?
Belle, that’s not it! You’re the same age as me, so you don’t make such a wistful expression!
What kind of comment is made by a head maid who is almost of retirement age?
But again, telepathy did not work. Belle gave a faint look.
“Have confidence, young lady. The maids say that His Highness Klaus really likes you.”
“No, what an unfounded rumor….”
“Why is there no basis?”
You don’t know how much Klaus looks at me like I’m a zoo animal!
“There are a lot of rumors that His Highness Klaus seems to have become much more relaxed after playing with the young lady.”
“You’re naturally a very laid-back person.”
“They say you used to be sharper.”
“Who said that?”
“Imperial palace maids!”
Klaus said he felt more relaxed after seeing me?
… … Well, no. I don’t think so. If I were to be honest, my personality probably changed at the time of my regression.
In any case, Klaus said that he experienced terrible things in real time before returning, and that he was pained by his helplessness in not being able to prevent them.
Now that I think I can prevent destruction by making a wish, I may have lost some of my venom.
“……There is a possibility, though.”
“Right? That’s right.”
“No, that doesn’t mean I can be sure that your highness has feelings for me.”
I can’t completely trust Klaus yet. It’s all just Klaus’ claims, there’s no basis for it, right?
ah. okay. Based on that, there was something to check in the study.
According to Klaus’ explanation, that golden globe can only be seen by people with special powers!
“Bell. I have a favor to ask you.”
“Please speak, my lady.”
“Would you like to go to His Highness Klaus’ study with me?”
“yes?”
Belle’s eyes widened to the size of a gourd.
Hey there, boy. What are you imagining that makes you look so shocked?
“Don’t think anything strange. I’m just asking you to come with me and check on one thing.”
“Yes, yes.”
“I’m not making excuses, it’s the truth.”
“Yes, yes.”
… … Anyway, I’m going to have Belle check out that gold globe thing.
I’m sure Klaus hasn’t even recruited my direct maid.
I led Belle, who was trembling with fear, to Klaus’ study.
“……I won’t get scolded, right?”
“Are you really going to scold me for something like this?”
“You may not know this, but you are a strict person by nature….”
It’s okay, Belle. Before the return, it seemed like the world would be destroyed, so I was anxious and became sensitive, but now, thanks to me, people are very relaxed.
You told me, right?
Just before entering the study, I spoke to Belle, wary of a possible rendezvous with Klaus.
“Just tell me what’s on the desk.”
“Are you sure it’s okay?”
“If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.”
What could possibly be happening?
The moment I opened the study door with that thought in mind, I froze.
Belle whispered.
“……His Highness Klaus is on the desk…….”
Why on earth are you sitting at your desk?
Klaus smiled brightly and raised his hand.
“Young lady. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you.”
Don’t greet me calmly like I was waiting for you!
“Good, hmm. Yes. It’s been a while so I stopped… Oops! I forgot to knock. I’ll try again.”
I quickly closed the study door and whispered to Belle.
“Did you take a good look at the desk?”
“yes yes.”
“What was there?”
“His Majesty Klaus… two books… a pile of documents, and a quill.”
No, you really didn’t see it, did you?
Didn’t you see the golden globe sitting majestically between Klaus and the pile of papers?
“Not that one. There’s something sitting next to His Highness Klaus.”
“A pile of papers?”
“No, it’s like a gold plaque or something.”
“There was something like that?”
When I see you looking so confused, it feels like I really haven’t seen you before.
‘So does this mean everything Klaus said is true?’
While I was deep in thought, the door to the study burst open.
“You said you’re knocking again?”
“Just wait a moment.”
Klaus, who opened the study door, smiled and ignored my words.
“You don’t have to knock, young lady. Come in.”
No matter what I say here, everything will be ignored, right?
“……Go first, Bell.”
“Miss, fighting!”
As Belle walked away, she clasped her hands tightly.
… … Does this look like a fighting situation for him?
As I followed Klaus into the study, Klaus sat down on the sofa leisurely, as if he had never been sitting on a desk. Long legs were in sight.
“So, did you see it?”
“You’re quick-witted.”
“It’s not often that a young lady comes to visit suddenly.”
Anyway, since all the cards in my hand are dealt with and I have heard the answer from Bell, there is no need to hesitate.
“I don’t know how much of what your Highness said is true, but at least Bell can’t see that thing.”
“Oh, a holy relic?”
“Castle, holy relic….”
Going crazy. I didn’t know I would hear something like a sacred sound uttered by someone.
God, Buddha, Allah, Grandma Samsin… … . Everyone is fine, so please take me out of this fantasy world. yes?
Klaus, seeing me lost in thought, laughed.
“You look like you’re about to collapse, young lady.”
“Oh, no. I’m not falling down. I’m a little dizzy, but…”
“It’s okay. Even if you collapse, I’ll still make you work.”
“You’re an evil boss….”
“You signed a contract, right?”
The corners of Klaus’ mouth twitched up. No matter what, his face is handsome.
I was captivated by that face… … I will save the world… … .
“……Yes. I told you that I would participate in your plan to prevent the destruction of the world.”
“Isn’t this attitude too unmotivated?”
“It’s not my world….”
Klaus laughed out loud, wondering what was so funny about my answer.
“But if everything goes as planned, we will be able to fulfill the lady’s wish in the future.”
okay. So, I decided to participate in this ridiculous plan that involves the destruction of the world.
“I guess we can avoid the animal kingdom.”
“Then. We can avoid the situation where all the flowers fall off before the flower festival.”
Was that also my wish? I felt distant for a moment, but quickly came to my senses.
okay. It is also strange that the possessed person has no abilities.
Since I was unable to learn special abilities in the world before possession, I need to have abilities in the world after possession to achieve balance.
Moreover, this ability is now being distorted and used in an undesirable direction. If I just keep in sync with Klaus, I can now live and change the world as I want, right? okay. Let’s actively cooperate.
It’s like this anyway, if you get used to it, things will work out somehow.
“……Do it quickly. If you just unseal the power of His Highness, won’t everything work out?”
“I feel like I’m suddenly overflowing with motivation.”
“What can I do?”
If you don’t just think of it as cringe, but think positively, it’s a better ability than you think.
In the meantime, I have suffered enough from the tragic situation where when I make a wish like ‘Please let me date a handsome man!’, only the ‘handsome man’ comes true!
Now it’s time for compensation!
Klaus glanced at my passionate face. His long fingers tapped the desk.
“Okay. Let’s summarize the story again.”
“yes.”
This is what Klaus summarized.
This world is on the brink of destruction.
Before Klaus returned, this world was actually on the verge of destruction.
What the returned Klaus wants is to combine his power with mine to prevent the destruction of the world.
What I want is to combine his strength and mine to make the right wish.
“We decided to join forces for that, right?”
“I did.”
I nodded.
Really, wait and see. If I make a wish right, I will wish for an abundance of handsome men to be by my side!
“You have a lot of fighting spirit.”
Klaus laughed.
“Then there is something you need to do from now on.”
“But before that, Your Highness, there is one thing you should know. I have no power or ability.”
If you give me a mission like ‘Go to war and take the enemy’s head!’, it means that my hair will be blown off!
Klaus nodded without a second thought.
“Don’t worry. I kept that in mind too.”
thanks. For underestimating my abilities.
Now that I hear it like that, I feel a bit bad.
Klaus handed out a small letter to me, who was surrounded by ambivalent emotions.
“……What’s this?”
“Open it.”
When I opened the seal, I saw an invitation written in neat handwriting on a pearlescent letter that looked classy at first glance.
We invite you to Duchess Cicena’s salon… … ?
Oh, isn’t this what Belle said earlier?
If what I was infiltrating was not a salon but some kind of battlefield, or some kind of secret ward of a marquis that just looked dangerous, I wouldn’t have set foot in the first place.
But it’s a salon!
A very ordinary salon held every year, where noble ladies make flowers out of silk!
If you were careful not to step on a dangerous trend, it could have been a great opportunity to enjoy aristocratic culture to the fullest.
