Chapter 32

Luria and Ladylike Qualities

โ€œI donโ€™t understand.โ€

โ€œThe phrase โ€˜๏ฝžใชใฎใ โ€™ is supposed to be a normal expression.โ€

Even the clever Kuro uses โ€˜no daโ€™ sometimes.

There shouldnโ€™t be anything wrong with it.

What exactly does my sister think is strange?

I look at Kuroโ€™s face.

โ€˜โ€ฆโ€™

Kuro quickly averts his eyes as if trying to hide something.

Maybe thereโ€™s something wrong with it. Iโ€™m starting to feel that way.

โ€œโ€ฆI wasnโ€™t going to comment on Luriaโ€™s strange way of speaking, butโ€ฆโ€

โ€œIs it strange?โ€

โ€œIt sounds strange no matter how I hear it.โ€

โ€œI seeโ€ฆ So that was itโ€ฆโ€

It was a bit of a shock. It shouldnโ€™t have been strange.

While I was taken aback, my sister placed a tray with snacks on the table.

โ€œCome over here.โ€

โ€œMm!โ€

I get up from my bed and run toward the table.

โ€œDarw  and the others, come too. Iโ€™ve prepared something.โ€

Saying that, my sister placed Darw โ€˜s plate on the floor. There was a large bone for Darw , and vegetable scraps for Carro and Koruko.

Including the servants, there are a lot of people in the mansion.

So, a lot of vegetable peels, scraps, and bones from pigs and cows come up during cooking.

Iโ€™ve heard that they also bring vegetable scraps three times a day to the chicken coop.

โ€œYouโ€™re Koruko, right? Luria, would it be okay to pet you?โ€

โ€œOf course!โ€

My sister pets Korukoโ€™s back while he pecks at the snacks.

โ€œIโ€™m Luriaโ€™s sister, nice to meet you, Koruko.โ€

โ€œCluck.โ€

While watching that scene, I also eat my snacks.

Todayโ€™s snack is cookies. Theyโ€™re really delicious.

โ€œTo think something so delicious exists in this worldโ€ฆโ€

This is something I never could have imagined in my past life.

I glance at the snacks Carro and Koruko are eating.

โ€œQuack?โ€ โ€œCluck?โ€

โ€œItโ€™s fine, just eat properly, okay? Is it tasty?โ€

โ€œQuack, quack!โ€ โ€œCluck!โ€

Both Carro and Koruko say theyโ€™re enjoying it.

In my past life, even the vegetable scraps Carro and Koruko are eating were considered a treat.

I used to get vegetable scraps mixed with the goatsโ€™ feed.

โ€œYouโ€™re saying weird things again. Youโ€™ve eaten cookies before, right?โ€

โ€œYes, Iโ€™ve eaten them.โ€

โ€œAgain with the โ€˜no daโ€™โ€ฆ Well, I guess itโ€™s okay?โ€

While petting Koruko, my sister thinks for a moment.

Just doing that, she looks like a painting.

She could be in a painting titled โ€œThe Chicken and the Saint,โ€ hanging on the wall.

โ€œFather and Mother seem to be raising Luria freely, so no one will comment on your way of speaking, butโ€ฆ at least I should say something.โ€

โ€œHmmโ€ฆโ€

I vaguely felt that my father and mother were letting me be freely, in a good way.

Even when I said I wanted to raise goats, they never said no.

In fact, they bought me a book about goats.

If my father had been an ordinary royal, and I asked for a book on goats, he would probably have been astonished.

Raising goats would probably be something for the servants to do, and he would have laughed at me.

โ€œYour sister wonโ€™t say you should behave like a royal, butโ€ฆโ€

โ€œI seeโ€ฆ I had a feeling, but Luria doesnโ€™t seem very royal, does she?โ€

โ€œNot even a noble lady. Itโ€™s understandable since youโ€™re only five, though.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆI see. Iโ€™ll be carefulโ€ฆ Ah!โ€

I suddenly had a brilliant idea.

โ€œWhatโ€™s wrong?โ€

โ€œIf this continues, Luria might never find someone to marry.โ€

โ€œโ€ฆThere might be people who say things like that, yes.โ€

My sister carefully selects her words.

Iโ€™m sure sheโ€™s thinking, โ€œOf course,โ€ but sheโ€™s probably being considerate not to hurt my feelings by saying it directly.

Iโ€™m grateful for my sisterโ€™s kindness, but I speak honestly.

โ€œI donโ€™t want to get married.โ€

โ€œReally? Why not? Will you tell me, Luria?โ€

Itโ€™s common for royal daughters to marry.

I know that much, even I do.

โ€œBecause Iโ€™ll lose my freedom and be unhappy.โ€

โ€œHmmโ€ฆ Does Mother seem like sheโ€™s lacking freedom and unhappy?โ€

โ€œโ€ฆHmm? Now that you mention it, maybe she doesnโ€™t seem that way?โ€

Mother isnโ€™t completely free, but I think she has some freedom.

In the first place, no one is entirely free.

Besides, she seems happy. I donโ€™t want to believe sheโ€™s only pretending to be happy in front of us.

โ€œBut Luriaโ€™s situation is different from Motherโ€™s.โ€

โ€œThatโ€™s true.โ€

โ€œDo you think you could live with goats in the mountains after getting married?โ€

โ€œโ€ฆThat might be difficult.โ€

โ€œI thought so.โ€

I seriously began to think about my feelings.

Maybe Iโ€™m afraid that a marriage ring might become like a collar of enslavement, just like in my past life.

โ€œHey, sis!โ€

โ€œWhat is it?โ€

โ€œLuria wonโ€™t get married, so Iโ€™ll speak however I want, without worrying about how I speak!โ€

โ€œโ€ฆThat might be just like you, Luria.โ€

โ€œYep!โ€

Anyone who says I donโ€™t act like a noble lady is someone I donโ€™t want to deal with.

โ€œSis! Letโ€™s eat cookies together. Theyโ€™re delicious!โ€

โ€œOh? Are you sharing? You can eat them all, you know?โ€

โ€œIโ€™ll eat them with you!โ€

โ€œThank you, Luria.โ€

My sister sat down next to me and took a bite of the cookie.

She eats so elegantly and beautifully.

This must be what it means to act like a noble ladyโ€ฆ or a royal princess.

โ€œSis, are you going to get married?โ€

โ€œYes, I probably will.โ€

Whoever marries my sister is a lucky person.

Sheโ€™s so cute and kind.

โ€œWill Father decide who you marry?โ€

โ€œMaybe. But Father is the second prince, so it might be the King who decides.โ€

โ€œThe King, huh?โ€

By the way, Iโ€™ve only met my grandfather, the King, once.

That was when I had just turned one.

If my sisterโ€™s marriage is decided before my grandfather passes away or abdicates, it might be my uncle, the new king, who will decide who she marries.

โ€œHmmโ€ฆโ€

By that logic, even if Father decides not to marry, my grandfather or my uncle might force him into marriage.

Royal families donโ€™t have the freedom to choose their marriages.

โ€œโ€ฆI have no choice but to act strangely, do I?โ€

If I ruin my reputation, people of the same rank or higher might avoid me as a marriage partner.

That would lower the status of potential marriage partners.

If they are of a lower status, it will be easier to ruin the engagement.

Of course, I shouldnโ€™t cause trouble for the other person.

I should be the one who causes trouble, and they should be the victim.

โ€œA noble lady whoโ€™s not really nobleโ€ฆ or a villainous noble ladyโ€ฆโ€

I recalled a story that my sister had lent me to read.

It was about a bad noblewoman named Louisa, who bullies the commoner protagonist.

In the end, it turns out that the protagonistโ€™s real father is a duke, and Louisa suffers for her actions.

Then, the protagonist marries the kind prince, and everything ends happily.

Itโ€™s wrong to bully others like Louisa did.

But I think itโ€™s possible to be a noble lady like a villain without actually bullying anyone.

If rumors spread that Iโ€™m an impossible daughter, they might send me to the countryside for โ€œrest.โ€

Father, even though heโ€™s the second prince, holds a dukeโ€™s title and land.

If I get a small piece of land with a shabby house at the edge of that territory, thatโ€™s enough for me.

Then, I can live with goats.

โ€œA villainous noble ladyโ€ฆ thatโ€™s the only way. Luriaโ€ฆ this is my strategy.โ€

โ€œAre you thinking something strange again?โ€

โ€œN-No, Iโ€™m not.โ€

โ€œReally? Well, thatโ€™s good.โ€

I decided that I wouldnโ€™t cause any real trouble until my sister gets married.
