The Reincarnated Young Girl Is Adored by the Spirits She Helped in Her Previous Life
When I woke up in the morning, I found Sui clinging to me.
“…Can I eat all of this? Da-u, that’s poop.”
Sui mumbled in her sleep.
“Eh… What kind of dream is Sui having?”
I was a little curious, so I patted Sui.
“Munya munya… It’s delicious.”
Sara was sleeping while holding her stick doll, Mia.
Kuro, Loa, and the spirits were also sleeping, snuggled up against Mia.
“Does everyone like Mia too?”
I patted Sara, Mia, Kuro, Loa, and the spirits.
“…………”
Then, I noticed Da-u staring at me intently.
“Da-u, do you want me to pet you too?”
“…Auu.”
“There, there, there. Koruko, Carro, you come too!”
“Kyuu.”
“Ko.”
As I kept petting them,
“Young ladies, breakfast is ready.”
One of the maids came to call us.
“We’re coming! Sara-chan, Sui-chan, it’s time to eat!”
“…Gonna eat breakfast.”
“…Is it morning already… Fwaaaaah.”
Sui let out a huge yawn, looking sleepy.
“Sui-chan, are you still sleepy?”
“Yes, very sleepy.”
“Hmm. Were you playing last night?”
“Wha—?! I would never do such a thing!”
For some reason, Sui seemed flustered.
“I see. Well, whatever.”
And so, we got dressed and headed to the dining hall.
Everyone was already there, and Mother had a stern expression on her face.
“Mother, what’s wrong?”
“Luria. You should say, ‘What’s the matter?’”
“What’s the matter?”
“Well, fine. …First, sit down.”
“Aye!”
As we took our seats, Father spoke.
“This morning, a messenger arrived from His Majesty. We’ve been summoned to the palace at noon.”
“Huh? Today?”
“Yes, today.”
“I see… This is getting interesting.”
It was already time to show off the perfect manners I had learned yesterday.
“Dear, can’t we refuse?”
“No. If we refuse a royal summons, it could be seen as an act of defiance.”
“Defiance…? But Luria is only five years old.”
“I’m the one under suspicion. His Majesty’s policy is that no matter how sick or injured you are, you must crawl to the palace if necessary.”
It seemed the king was quite a strict person.
“If we refuse, it will only invite harsher consequences.”
“So, not going isn’t an option.”
Mother let out a deep sigh.
My older brother and sister looked at me with concern.
“Your Highness, what could His Majesty possibly want?”
Marion looked worried.
“Sara isn’t even prepared to appear before His Majesty yet…”
“Sara-chan, do your best! If things get rough, just copy me, okay?”
“Yeah… I’m nervous.”
Sara already looked anxious.
“…Luria isn’t skilled enough to be a role model yet.”
Mother said something unexpected.
She probably meant that while my manners were excellent, I shouldn’t get too cocky yet.
“I know that!”
When I answered cheerfully, Father, who had been watching, spoke.
“His Majesty’s true intentions are unclear, but it’s certain that he doesn’t want to give us time to prepare.”
“Maybe he just wants to scold us for improper etiquette.”
Mother looked worried as well.
“Possibly. But Sara should be fine. His Majesty has already approved of her baronial inheritance.”
“Oh! That means Sara-chan doesn’t have to worry! That’s great!”
“Y-Yeah… But what about you, Luria?”
“I’ll be fine!”
I puffed out my chest confidently, and Mother—
“Y-Yes, I’m sure you’ll be fine.”
She said that while hugging me, looking as if she might cry.
“Well, I think Sui will be fine too!”
“Sui-chan, why do you think that?”
When I asked, Sui’s tail twitched nervously.
“U-Uhh… Because I just do!”
“I see.”
It seemed a little suspicious, but I decided not to dig deeper.
Breakfast was another lesson in table manners.
“Luria! That’s not correct. The way you hold the fork—”
“Like this?”
“No, that’s wrong.”
I made some mistakes here and there, but overall, I was nearly perfect.
After all, my natural elegance shone through, so even small mistakes didn’t seem like a big deal.
Once we finished breakfast, Mother dressed me up.
“Luria, you look adorable. Just like a storybook princess.”
“Luria-sama, it suits you perfectly.”
My sister and Marion showered me with praise.
“Really? But it’s hard to move in. I still like big brother’s clothes better.”
“No, Luria. You need to endure it.”
“Aye.”
Beside me, Sara was also being dressed in a gown.
“Wow! Sara-chan, you look so cute!”
“R-Really?”
“Yeah! You’re super cute. Looking at you, I guess dresses aren’t so bad after all.”
“Luria-chan, you look cute too.”
“Thanks!”
My sister and mother also complimented Sara.
Sara looked absolutely adorable in a dress.
Once we finished getting dressed, we went to meet Father.
“Luria! You look adorable! You should wear dresses all the time!”
Father lifted me up as he spoke.
“Father, that’s unreasonable. These are hard to move in.”
“I see. But you look very cute.”
“Luria, it really suits you.”
My brother also praised me.
“Sara, you look beautiful. It suits you well.”
“Thank you very much.”
Sara bowed her head slightly toward Father, looking nervous.
“Yes, it suits you well. There’s nothing to worry about when you appear before His Majesty.”
My brother patted Sara’s head as he said that.
“Thank you.”
Sara blushed, looking embarrassed.
