Volume 1 Chapter 39, Part 2 Mean Villainess, Consult
"Uh, uh..."
Sure, there aren't any brave souls who would ask me directly, but there might be challengers who could ask Rolus, the attendant.
"Becoming my bride candidate is quite a big deal. You'll attract attention from nobles everywhere. By the way, I don't have any brothers, so unless I do something outrageous, I'm on the fast track to being a queen."
"Oh, really... Wait, doesn't Sven have any brothers?"
"No, I don't. That's why side consorts were welcomed, but they all ended up giving birth to daughters."
"I see."
"The princesses are cute."
"Oh, that's nice to hear."
The prince's smile somehow resembled my elder brother's smile, so maybe the prince is a bit of a siscon too.
"...It's a bit off-topic, but I don't think it's good that Elena looks so guilty."
"...Yeah."
"Even if you look guilty, it won't change the past."
"Yeah."
"If you look like you're having fun, maybe the future could change."
"The future, huh?"
When I think of the word future, I remember the results of the stone divination that my teacher did for me.
It says that in the near future, I will lose something important.
"Lose something important?"
"...yeah"
I don't want to let Rolus go, but that doesn't mean I want him to leave.
Well, Leve reassured me that it wasn't true.
But Rolus never tells me what he really thinks, so I don't know what he really thinks.
There is no way to know if the Rolus Leve sees is the real Rolus.
If Rolus wants to leave me, I guess I have to let him go.
"But you don't know if the important thing you might lose is an Attendant, do you?"
"Well, that's true, but what's important to me is Rolus"
"Oh. So you're back to talking about love. But it's fortune telling, right? I don't know. Maybe it's not really something important, but the second most important thing."
"The second most important thing...?"
After hearing that, I put my hand to my chin and thought deeply.
The most important thing is decided by Rolus, but what do I consider to be the second most important thing?
"Are you really thinking that hard? I mean, there must be something, like important clothes or accessories."
"Uh, um, hmm?"
"What about a cute little bird you take care of by the window? Is there none?"
"A bird? What does Sven think I am...?"
Just as the two of us were deep in thought, Rolus showed up.
It seems a carriage has arrived, so he came to greet us.
"...What were you two so deeply thinking about?"
"Well, um, I was told by a stone divination that I would lose something important, so I was wondering what that could be..."
As I answered that, Rolus looked puzzled and mumbled quietly.
"You have recently lost something, Lady."
He said.
"Huh, what did I lose...?"
"The game designer you held in high regard."
"Oh my gosh, that's right!!"
I had lost something important!
I don't know if that connects to the stone divination results, but I had definitely lost something important!
"Um, well then, I'll take my leave."
Rolus grabbed my arm, which was cradling my head in despair, and greeted the prince.
Seeing that, the prince chuckled and said, "Well, that's good, isn't it? At least it's not the most important thing," while patting my shoulder.
That's a relief!
Good but not great!
But it was good!
While muttering such incoherent things, I was dragged along by Rolus.
"Huh... I'll make something sweet when I get home. Rolus, too."
"I am a Servant"
"I thought so, so there will be no snacks today"
"..."
"Oh, are you feeling a bit down right now? Hey, Rolus!"
"I haven't done it"
Whatever he says, I guess Rolus has a sweet tooth.
"But the maids have prepared snacks for me."
"..."
"Oh, maybe I didn't make it so you're a bit disappointed after all!? I guess that can't be helped, Rolus!"
"...I didn't! "
Rolus spoke in a rare strong tone.
So maybe that's right!
"Hehe"
"...What are you laughing at, Lady?"
"Nothing"
I was thinking of telling him that I'm preparing dessert today, but I think I'll keep quiet after all.
I'll make sure to let him feel down until dessert time.
After all, I'm the Mean Villainess!
