「I–I’m so tired～～～～!!」

With a thud, I threw myself down on the bed in my room.

I couldn’t care less that my dress is wrinkled. It was only around noon, but I felt exhausted, as if I had done hard labor all day.

It was a very long way back with a sermon from Ryniel-sama, no kidding.

『Is it alright, Marsha-dono. Listen to carefully.』

I know from my own experience that a sermon that begins with that preface cannot be refuted, excused, or excused.

What do I think of His Majesty’s words, according to Ryniel-sama? Do I understand the true aning of this order by Myra-sama? Do I envision what will happen if the engagent is annulled?

The emphasis was on these three points.

By His Majesty’s words, I an the marriage that troubles . I had been putting it off for so reason, thinking that I would not be able to move forward unless I did sothing about my engagent to Raul first, but Ryniel-sama saw right through that and scolded firmly for putting it off.

And the true aning of Myra-sama’s order. I’m ashad to admit that I didn’t know about this until Ryniel-sama pointed it out to . It was because she was thinking about my situation when the engagent was annulled, and that was why she gave that order.

As long as Her Majesty wants to be her nanny, I don’t need to imagine that there will be a lot of people who will co up to to try to sit as my fiancée or companion.

I, too, could have expected that much.

I also know that the purpose of the approaching people will not be my fiancée or spouse, but only my future nanny title and the child who will be the next heir to the throne’s baby brother.

But that wasn’t what Myra-sama was worried about. Here is what Ryniel-sama had to say at that ti.

「You should realize that you are not used to being treated like a man or a woman. If you were like that with , you would be dragged into a fight with a man of a hundred battles in an instant, and you would find yourself unable to move. And even if you regret it at the ti and try to escape, you can’t get out, like a bottomless swamp… I’m sure the sa woman’s hands are entwined around your feet…」

The analogy is scary! But I also understood it very clearly.

In other words, get used to n, get used to treating won, get used to being seduced, so that you don’t get caught by strange n.

When I countered that I wasn’t stupid enough to fall for such a strange man, I was still kicked to the curb and told euphemistically that I would’ve to break off the engagent with the flower garden in my brain before I could say anything. I couldn’t say anything, and I had a strange way of convincing myself,『I see, he’s a decent guy.』

And I guessed that this was the reason for Ryniel-sama’s ridicule. I guessed that both the sweet words and the smile were training things. It was an uncharacteristic behavior of Ryniel-sama, and I can understand it, but I wish he would have told first if he could have. I don’t want to waste my ntal energy.

Other sermons went on and on all the way to my parents’ house, and finally ended just now.

「Haaaaah, I wish I could just fall asleep…」

I know it doesn’t work that way, but I don’t want to move in any way. I am hungry, I want to change my dress, and I want to see Father and Brother. If I go to bed now, I won’t be able to sleep at night, so I want to stay awake sohow, but my eyelids are falling gradually.

Just as I was about to give up and let sleepiness take over, I heard a knock at the door.

「…Fuah.」

With one foot in the dream, I manage to reply back.

「Ah, I knew it.」

I opened my eyelids with a wince at the familiar voice that opened the door and entered the room.

「…ari」

「Yes. It’s your maid, ari. Co on, please wake up. It would be a sha to fall asleep after you’ve co all the way ho.」

I could hear the clinking and scraping of dishes, and my nose was stimulated by the faintly fragrant aroma of good tea.

「Are you hungry? ari’s special smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich. And it’s served with our own Gracis honey. You can eat it as it is, or sweeten it with honey, or again, drizzle it in your tea as you like, it’s Milady’s favorite. If you don’t get up, it’ll end up in ari’s stomach, is that OK with you?」

What the heck?

「Uuuugh… I’m getting up!」

This was the mont when appetite triumphed over sleepiness, even though I had been so sleepy.

「I love Milady who’s like that. Yes, please get out of bed and sit down. Your tea is getting cold.」

「Yes, yes, I’m coming.」

I got up my heavy body and crawled out of bed. At that mont, the hair ornant slips off my head.

「Oh, Milady, did you have a hair ornant like this?」

ari, who picked it up, said.

「Ah— yeah. I got it.」

「Heh, isn’t it very nice? Who gave it to you?」

「…Yeah, it’s from Ryniel-sama…」

It was given to when I parted from Ryniel-sama in front of the mansion.

『You are a much more attractive woman than you think. Have more confidence.』

Ryniel-sama, with an expression so soft that it was hard to believe that he had been preaching just a few minutes before, held out a hair ornant wrapped in a handkerchief and said. As I was preparing myself, rembering the content of the previous sermon, Ryniel-sama decorated my hair with a hair ornant that he himself inserted into my hair with a gesture that I was used to.

『This is a morial. Today is your first date with . I look forward to seeing your hair ornant adorn you tomorrow.』

That ans wear it and go to work.

I looked over at Ryniel-sama, who had just said what he wanted to say and gallantly left.

「This seems more like a morial, or a warning.」

A gift in the na of commoration after preaching. A true candy and whip. It sounds like a reminder to rember the content of the sermon.

「Nhn? What does that an???」

「No. It’s nothing.」

I sat back in my chair and sipped the tea ari had brewed for .

「ari, you’ve put on so weight since I last saw you.」

ari, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, was definitely plump, if not fat.

「And the amount of sandwiches. Not only am I going to eat it, ari going to eat it too.」

The amount of sandwiches on the plate is not enough for one person to eat. Even if it was for two people, it would still be too much. And there’s the calorie-crazed honey.

「It’s all right. The Master has asked to eat this honey, so it’s part of my job.」

「You’re an idiot. Why, it’s part of my job to eat honey.」

I can’t stand to be paid for such work.

「It’s true. He told to eat this and get good nutrition. You can have Master ask him about it.」

Since ari says this so openly, it must not be a lie, but why should Father order ari to eat honey? And not just regular honey, but expensive, high quality honey, no matter how much it cos from our own territory?

「Don’t you have enough nutrition and nothing else?」

What’s the point of getting any plumper? Your face is plump, but isn’t your stomach area a bit dangerous? Is it my imagination that the ribbon on my apron string looks very close to the edge? Where was your spartan attitude toward when I was younger to maintain my style?

「Oh, it’s not my nourishnt, Milady.」

「Your stomach?」

It appears to be ari’s fat, or rather nourishnt, no matter how you look at it?

「Yes, that’s correct.」

ari put her hand on her round, fat belly and gave it a big smile as she slowly stroked it.

「This honey is nourishnt for the baby here!」

「………………Hah?」

Excuse ? What’s in your stomach?

「………………Haaaaaaaaaahh!?」

The mont I realized this, a ridiculous voice ca out of the pit of my stomach.
