[Announcing His Highness the crown prince and Her Highness the princess!]
An exaggerated announcement flowed and the tune changed.
From the big staircase that led to the venue hall, Prince Marlow and Princess Angela came down side by side.
Marlow was wearing a pure white princely clothes, while Angela wore an elegant violet dress with laces that seemed to flow.
(Merrill… isn't here. Maybe she will be individually introduced later.)
Then the king appeared and dignifiedly headed towards in between Marlow and Angela.
By the way, the king was an attractive middle-aged man that looked similar to Marlow.
He then said "I have another daughter" and "I will introduce her in this occasion" to the participants of this party.
In the banquet hall, silence suddenly fell.
I thought that there were other aristocrats who were aware of Merrill, but everyone seriously listened to the king's story.
After a while, the host announced the appearance of another princess.
[Announcing the second princess Her Highness Merrill…!]
Again the magnificent fanfare echoed and announced the appearance of the heroine.
(The manga should have started a while ago.)
I re-thought about the manga.
It had been 4 years since my memories returned… of course, I had forgotten the details after 4 years so I had recorded all of the contents of the manga in my diary shortly after my memories came back.
I wrote down everything as far as I could recall, but since I did not copied down everything about the manga, I was somewhat uneasy.
According to it, the first story of the manga had already begun.
Merrill's mother fell ill and she was raised in a fatherless family before she was taken in as a princess.
Merrill, who received minimal education as a royalty, would meet her brother, sister and father for the first time at the castle.
(She was given a gentle smile by her older brother while she was verbally abused by her malicious older sister…)
In the story, the king had normal contact with Merrill. He was not particularly doting nor did he have a low opinion on her.
In such a situation, she was introduced today.
(…To this point, it's the same as the manga.)
The current Angela wouldn't unreasonably hit Merrill, so the relationship between the sisters might be going well.
Merrill whose name was called descended down the stairs.
She wore the social debut ornaments, the white flower hair ornaments, while wearing a light pink dress. She had a dignified aura.
Her movement was awkward was probably because she was nervous. But she had a smile on her face…
(So, so beautiful-!!) (TN: Raw says bishojou.)
She was a beautiful princess that appeared in the manga.
Her soft, undulating golden hair was of the same colour as her siblings, she had pale skin pigment and her rosy coloured eyes contained a strong will.
Merrill, who finished descending the stairs safely, elegantly smiled as was her habit, and sweetly walked like a fairy to Prince Marlow's side.
The nobles who saw her sighed in admiration.
(Beautiful brother and sister…)
Her figure lining up beside Prince Marlow was like a painting.
The daughters who also had their social debut now gazed cautiously at her and became conscious of her.
Since her appearance stood out so much, they couldn't rival her.
Even though she was just standing, her atmosphere looked gorgeous.
I felt that barriers that couldn't be overcome with effort alone existed, and such reality was confronted.
[My daughter Merrill.]
At the same time the king introduced her, the pretty girl gracefully curtsied towards the crowd.
She didn't say anything, perhaps she had been told "don't say anything unnecessary" before.
After the greetings, Merrill exited with the king, leaving on Prince Marlow and Angela on the spot.
Observing the surrounding nobles hurriedly… Angela who found me directly approached me.
[Britney, you finally come to see me? I was waiting for this day you know?]
[…Angelsama, it has been a while.]
[I'm happy that you're fine. I'm also delighted that I can see you anytime from this spring. There are a lot of things I want to tell you. Yes, a lot, fufufufu…]
Although Angela took out her fan and laughed lightly, her eyes were dark.
It seemed to contain darkness.
(It's because of Merrill right?)
Marlow also came and began talking to Ricardo.
I then asked Angela.
[Angelsama, your sister just appeared. What kind of person is she?]
After a blink, Angela replied while lowering her voice.
[That's right, she's a strange child. I feel tired when we're together.]
[Does that mean that she's a lively person?]
[No, that's not it… she's a type that irritates other people's nerves.]
As I thought, Merrill was a person that Angela wanted to avoid.
[…Err, is your sister unkind?]
[You'll know when you meet her. She has no bad intention, but she's the type to stab people with a good-intentioned knife. I wonder if all commoners have that kind of personality.]
Angela's information was somewhat subtle. I didn't know well about Merrill's inner personality.
However, it seemed that she was not good at being a younger sister.
(I hope it won't be like the manga…)
I was a little uneasy about the future development.
TN: I wonder what Angela meant about Merrill's personality. Is she the type where “the way to hell is paved with good intention” is applied? 😦
