I Reincarnated as a Noble Girl Villainess But Why Did It Turn Out This Way? Ch 112

“Hey, you, isn’t that Claudia?”

Right after I got saddled with sothing annoying due to the Nordsturms’ harassnt, I heard a loud booming voice coming from beside us as I discussed things with Claudia and Margrave Molton. When I turned to see who the owner of the voice was, I saw a head of honey blonde hair glittering in the sunlight like a chandelier. He’s a young man with a cool deanor that has gray eyes the color of stone, I could tell right away by his appearance that he’s definitely related to Claudia in so way. He’s almost certainly a close relative of hers.

“Older brother!?”

With Claudia’s surprised voice, now I knew for certain that this person was her older brother. Looks like I was right on the mark. Comparing the two of them, they definitely appeared so similar to each other.

“What are you doing here?”

“That’s what I should be saying, Claudia. Today’s party organizer is one of the leaders of the Knight Order, didn’t you know?”

“I’m only attending as the personal attendant of a noble today…… I see now. That’s why there were so many of my distant Rolentsor relatives at the party today.”

Margrave Molton seed to be interested as he watched the siblings greet each other. It seems that since the Rolentsors are a military family, they don’t like to go to most social gatherings. Indeed, other than Claudia, I don’t know anyone from the Rolentsor family at all.

“Then, is the one next to you your current master, Claudia?”

“Ahh, she’s Eliza-do…… Eliza-sama, sorry for the late introduction, but allow to introduce my brother to you.”

She didn’t call Eliza-dono like she always did, maybe she suddenly rembered that we were in public and she hurriedly corrected herself and used a more polite term. Maybe he’s used to seeing such things from Claudia, her brother just smiled wryly. I nodded at Claudia and she breathed in relief, as I exchanged knowing glances with her brother.

“Eliza-sama, this is my older brother, Nathaniel Rolentsor. Older brother, this person is Lord Eliza Kaldia, my current master.”

……Ohh, she managed to say all that without stuttering. She’s not very used to using polite speech and she probably has butterflies in her stomach right now, but as expected she can do it when she tries. She was able to perfectly introduce Nathaniel and I to each other in a ladylike manner.

“Pleased to et you, Lord Kaldia. I’m Nathaniel, Claudia’s older brother. I work in the royal capital’s military police. It’s an honor to make your acquaintance.”

“Pleased to et you as well, Nathaniel-dono. Thank you for taking care of your sister before this.”

I was going to bow to him, but Nathaniel suddenly stuck his right hand out at . With a bit of confusion, I shook his hand. Then, with a wry smile on his face, Margrave Molton interrupted us.

“Nathaniel-dono, I believe that your sister’s master is a lady.”

“Eh? ……Ah!!”

While I was surprised just now that he shook hands with , Nathaniel seed even more shocked right now, and he swiftly let go of my hand. In Arxia it’s the custom for n to shake hands with each other, while boys and girls are expected to keep more of a distance from the other gender during a first introduction. Due to the way I dress, he must have mistook for a boy.

“S, sorry…… To think that I was so rude to a lady.”

“No, I don’t mind at all. I prefer to dress like this. I don’t mind being treated according to my clothes, either.”

Boys and girls are just supposed to simply greet each other on a first introduction. I felt sorry for Nathaniel who was apologizing for treating like a boy because of how I dressed, so I told him the truth that I didn’t mind.

We got so drinks from the party, and everyone’s cald down and relaxed a bit. Nathaniel apologized to once more, and I calmly and politely told him again that I didn’t mind, then he started speaking to Claudia again.

“By the way, Claudia. Shouldn’t you be handing in your resignation to Eliza-sama soon? Are you still going to continue on like this?”

Both Claudia and I were wide-eyed in surprise at his sudden question. Only Margrave Molton was able to keep a cool smile on his face as he watched us with interest in his eyes.

“Eh, what are you talking about?”

“You don’t even know what I’m talking about…… Hey, you, didn’t you make a promise with father? If you aren’t able to beco a knight by the ti you turn twenty, you’ll return ho and listen to his orders?”

“……Ahh!”

As if she just rembered sothing, Claudia smacked her fist into her hand. That’s not the reaction I want from her though! She’s forgotten such an important thing? Although I probably shouldn’t criticize her for it. Now that I think back on it, she told about this several years ago when I first t her, but I’d completely forgotten about it as well. I had just been thinking about creating a knight order in Kaldia, but I had thought that I’d be able to take my ti. Now I have to establish a knight order as fast as possible, so that Claudia won’t be taken away from .

Honestly, this is the worst ti possible for to be saddled with an annoying burden by the Nordsturms!

Even though I was ntally screaming inside, I also started calculating and planning out what I could do as quickly as I could in order to create my knight order. And of course, Claudia would pick at this mont to go off completely on another tangent and interrupt .

“Eliza-sama, is it alright if I go and greet the hosts of this party tonight!? I want to see if I can ask to beco a knight! No wait, I won’t ask them to make a knight, I just want permission to take the test!!”

“……Wait, wait, calm down, Claudia. You’re getting overly excited. Besides, you’re only a noble’s personal attendant. You don’t have the status to go and greet soone so high-ranked, please don’t try it.”

“No way!”

Claudia was tightly gripping the hems of her dress, and she seed like she was almost about to fly out of here. I prepared myself ntally to talk to her about this, now just how to do the persuasion.

I absolutely can’t have a confrontation with Claudia in front of Nathaniel. If he reports it to their parents, it might be that Claudia will be forced to leave even sooner. When I glanced over at Nathaniel uneasily, he was grinning like a cat, a smile that looked just like his sister’s, and it looked like he was having fun watching us discuss things.

“……You guys get along so well for servant and master. I’m glad that you were able to et a master that complents you so well. You’ve even managed to rember her na properly.”

This comnt from him hit hard. All my feelings, that I can’t get in order, that are going out of control. Undoubtedly, Claudia’s older brother can see how we get along.

Margrave Molton who was watching all this from behind us seed to be chuckling with that wry smile of his stuck to his face all this ti, while I just felt incredibly tired from everything.
