Tensei Saki ga Shoujo Manga no Shiro Buta Reijou datta Chapter 106

After the social debut party had safely ended, it was the next day after I returned to my residence—

Resting my cheek on the window of the room, I remembered the incident at the party.

Just thinking of what had happened with Ricardo, my face became hot quickly.

[Britney-sama, what are you doing since a while ago? You keep making different expressions.]

It was my maid Maria who said so.

We became closer since I was a 12 years old, and now I had asked her to accompany me to the capital city. She was my personal maid.

Since we had been together for a long while, I was friendly with her. When there's no one in the vicinity, we would engage in frivolous talks.

[It's nothing.]

[…Is that so? Well then, a letter from the princess has just arrived, so I'll leave it here.]

[Thank you.]

I picked up the letter from Maria and checked the content.

The letter from Angela urged me to come to the castle as soon as possible.

(I should do so quickly. Otherwise it'll become troublesome later.)

Although her personality had improved, Angela was still Angela. Nothing good would occur if I kept her waiting.

I decided to visit her right then.

The next day, I visited the castle that was only 20 minutes of walking from my residence.

I was guided by the princess' personal kuroko maids and went inside Angela's room that was in welcome mode.

It seemed that after Angela's reformation, the maids' costumes became free, but the kuroko costumes seemed to be useful for some reason, so eventually the clothing was returned back to original.

(It's okay not to use make-up, and it seems to be warmer than maid uniform during winter and early spring.)

When I entered the room, Angela and Nora were comfortably relaxing inside.

It seemed that these two people were close friends now.

[Britney! I have been waiting for you!]

While Angela urged me to sit on the couch, the kuroko maids prepared the tea and then stood by the wall.

(…Somehow, they're like ninjas.)

Since the princess had reformed and the turnover rate of the maids declined, the maids turned into genuine kurokos with extreme skills.

[By the way, both of you, do you already know about my engagement?]

Hearing her words, I silently nodded.

Looking at Nora who was tilting her head, it seemed that she was not informed about this.

[Following the invasion of the northern country, His Majesty is planning to engage the northern prince either with me or my sister.]

[At the same time, since there's a probing from the southern country, the one who won't be engaged to the northern prince will be engaged to the southern prince.]

[In other words, Angelsama and Merrill-sama will be engaged to the northern prince and southern prince.]

[Ee, but, I feel depressed…]

Angela casted her eyes down. Her long eyelash extensions shadowed her pale violet eyes.

[You saw my sister didn't you?]

To this, Nora answered.

[Ee, she is very lovely. To think there's such a woman in this world.]

I could read where this talk would flow to.

[Yes. The two princes will probably think exactly the same thing. And they will want Merrill as a fiancée rather than me. Both of them want my younger sister, I'm sure I will be the leftover. Thinking that way, I feel uneasy and miserable…]

[Angelsama, whatever the circumstances, that is…]

I tried to interpose hurriedly, but the girl's thoughts wouldn't yield.

[No, it surely will! Just like otou-sama and onii-sama!]

[Err, His Majesty and Prince Marlow?]

[Ee. Men like such women don't they? Only that child is cared for…]

Angela was completely sulking.

[You already met the northern prince Lucas right?]

[Ee. That man doesn't seem to be interested in me. He's entranced with Merrill instead.]

Certainly, even in the manga, Lucas liked Merrill at once. Currently, he's only attracted to her looks.

[Well, have you met the southern prince?]

[No, not yet. But won't he be the same? After all, appearance is everything, no matter how beautifully disguised I am, I won't be able to compare with the real thing.]

[Angelsama…]

Nora and I encouraged the worried girl.

Nonetheless, it's a story that we fully sympathized with, and we could understand Angela's misery.

Since Nora and I were not confident about our natural appearance.

[But in terms of conditions, I think Angelsama is better. Merrill-sama's appearance is beautiful, but she has a commoner background. If I were to choose, a genuine princess is more preferable…]

[What I want is not such dry politics! For my betrothal, I want to be loved genuinely!]

It seemed that Angela wanted to be selected for factors other than her title.

(She's a royalty, but her thoughts on that area are clear…)

The first princess was maidenly in a strange manner.
