« I never thought that Madeleine would tell you this. I was thinking of helping him in his business. I remembered you from his coming-of-age ceremony, I thought that that girl must be someone who has a lot of talents, but she doesn’t have the courage to show it, » I said.
« Oooh my, you remembered me from that time. It really means a lot to me. I’ve always thought of opening my own business, but I’ll try my best at this job. »
« Thank you for helping him. He is quite shy, I still remember when he used to get bullied because he didn’t have any friends… Being different is hard. »
« You are right. You seem like a wise lady. Excuse my previous behaviour, but as soon as Sir Madeleine has told me about you, I did some digging. You are truly amazing. You’ve attended the Bendione academy at an early age. »
Edward sent me a letter the next day saying that he expects me to win the competition because he has plans to change the prejudice that the women of the kingdom have on themselves. Sending letters was too much. I guess I’ll make plans to craft my communicator faster. I think that it will be a great thing to do right now, I’ll send a few ones to all my friends and partners in the investments. This way, I’ll be able to exchange pieces of information faster. Lately, I had received a gift from one of my partners. It was a luxurious pipe. I hoped that it would be something else when it arrived. I guess I’ll have to make a trip to the capital, to meet the one who sent me this. Well, at least, there was someone who thought of it. He is the count Lucio Ramirez. A person who had only the title but no money on his account.In my last life, his products were popular because they wer
Any noble can join today’s competition. Because of the increase in the number of demons spotted, the king has planned for this competition to help reduce their numbers and protect the citizens. The hunting contest will occur in the forest of Dijan. It’s where Damien’s last expedition happened.«Oooh my God! Isn’t that General Hawk?» said one of the women.« I hard that the prince of Dominic country is in love with her. He proposed to her many times, but she rejected him. He is really determined to take our only female general ! »« Don’t you think that it’s good for us? Having a female general is a disgrace. Women’s place is in her husband’s home. »«I agree. I can’t understand those women who go to the battlefield or do a job that isn’t
«Thank you for fixing this up. I thought that my maid would be coming soon to help me. I’ll scold her later,» she said.« As expected from a doll, she can’t do anything herself. No wonder I didn’t see you earlier. I don’t like playing with dolls if you see what I mean. Should I call for your maid to escort you out, because we can’t guarantee your safety here? You know this is a competition if you didn’t hear it right. »« Are you saying that I am an idiot? »« I don’t see any alternative since you aren’t participating. Did you lose your way? If this the case, notify your knights, they’ll escort you to a safe place where you belong, or are you trying to prey into what doesn’t to you? »« And does it belong to you? »
«It’s time for us to return, my family is probably freaked out. My mother is a worrywart, she’ll cry. I don’t want to trouble them,» I said.«Don’t worry, they probably know that you are with me. She won’t cry, but you’re right; we’ll get to know who won the competition.»«You said you are expecting me to win but you are making me lose here.»«I am not in the competition. I am hunting for fun.»I see. So now, I hope that I hunted enough to win the competition. Seriously, I am not interested in winning it. I am doing it for Edward. We talked, flirted and laughed all the way. We had to take a detour since the cliff is so high.«Look, isn’t he Madeleine? The one riding that horse,
«My Lady, help me. I can’t die, my family counts on me. I did everything following your orders. You can’t abandon me,» the lackey cried.Reina showed an annoyed face. I know this, she is probably thinking ‘is he serious? He was made to take the blame in the first place’. This show is entertaining, I wanted to investigate what happened today, but Edward beat me to it.« Who sent you? Speak, who sent you to frame me? You are ungrateful, my family had taken you under her wings to make your life better, but you harmed us. How can you be this bad? I can’t believe that there is someone who wants to harm us, » then she showed fake tears.I wonder what she thinks. She is probably wearing a necklace that makes her thoughts unreadable. I feel sleepy. Reina kneeled, holding her mouth crying. I must applaud her; she is too g
«Hey Bonine, do you know what Edward’s servants say about him?» said Davina.After speaking to my father, I returned to my room. I wanted to think more about what he said to me. The Azur order really exists, but why is my father such an important thing from us? And why is it even secretive? The world is full of weird things. I was lying thinking when Davina came and lied down next to me. I can see that she didn’t sleep well too.« No, how they talk about him? » I asked.«I thought that you heard it. I am disappointed, you who is sensitive about everything that is said about him.»« I never cared about people’s talk; you know how women tend to change the reality of things. »« You’re right. I heard a maid saying that a beast tamer appear
We returned the next day like scheduled. I was so curious about the Azur order that I went to see my father in his office immediately after changing my clothes. I wouldn’t say I like it when I don’t know anything important like this. Perhaps it’s the reason why my father was murdered in my last life. If I know what this is about, then I’ll know what William is aiming for or at least part of it.«I was waiting for you, Bonine. I know that your curiosity is bigger than you,» said my father.I smiled knowing that my father knows my character, I doubted him in my last life, he always had a stern face that I thought he didn’t care about us. Even when I used to ask for something, he answered me in a poker face; I had a hard time translating his emotions.« I came to know what I need to know and I’ll tell you what you need to know. I
« I heard from your brother Durian that you beat your father. Impressive. What a pity! I wasn’t here. I had to run an errand downtown, » said Davina.« What a pity indeed! I didn’t beat him by the way. I thought that you are going to leave. Anyway, how come Durian told you about my duel with my brother? Strange indeed, is there some improvement? » I said, putting my fingers on my chin.« I told him that I want to exchange letters with him and he accepted it, » she replied, proud of herself.«I guess he is the type of person that waits for the girl to make a move.»Davina looked up, opening her mouth to talk but finished by keeping silence. I peeked at where she was staring at; Durian was standing in front of my father’s office reading documents; the door of the office was opened. I looked b
