Chapter 13: 13

By the time I was ready to go out, it was already dusk.

 

‘Wow, this is hard work, too.’

 

It was harder than usual to just take care of my hair, so by the time I had decided on my hair’s decoration, I had already lost my energy.

 

Still, the results were good enough to relieve the fatigue.

 

At first, everyone seemed to be doing their best while paying attention to me, but from the middle of it, they were very engrossed in the decoration itself and decorated me.

 

“This is fine.”

 

I nodded my head in satisfaction and handed a gold medal to the three people in charge of the decoration.

 

Penny’s jaw went slack at the unbelievable reward and she bowed more politely.

 

“It was very rewarding, Lady. Please call me anytime.”

 

She had good social skills too.

 

“Okay.”

 

The maids looked at me with dreamy eyes and said.

 

“The Saint Trio Hotel will be overturned today.”

 

“I don’t want to make a fuss.”

 

“Oh, no, that’s not it, I meant Lady must be the most beautiful person today.”

 

Even the maids who seemed to be afraid of the jerk Theresa expressed their sincerity.

 

If it was the real Theresa, she would have liked it and snorted, but I wanted to put something in my mouth because my sugar level was low.

 

“Do you have anything to drink? Something sweet.”

 

“Yes! Here it is.”

 

The maid gave me juice as if shooting a tranquilizer, fearing that Theresa who had been as quiet as a satisfied beast might run out of sugar and become violent.

 

‘Um…’

 

Being treated like a ticking time bomb was embarrassing, but it wasn’t bad.

 

Anyway, after I emptied the sweet juice, I felt like buying some.

 

“The carriage?”

 

“I was told to wait downstairs half an hour ago. But the gentleman who will escort you hasn’t come yet.”

 

Very few ladies visit alone at this kind of event without an escort.

 

Especially a young and beautiful lady like Theresa.

 

“Escort can be done by a guard. The auction house is only going to take me and my escort. I don’t want to make a fuss and draw attention.”

 

Unlike Theresa, I wasn’t the type to like fancy parties.

 

‘I’ll just buy some stuff and quickly come back to read the magic book.’

 

“There are many magic books to look at before the semester starts. I’ll come back soon after I am done with my business.”

 

As my explanation continued, the maids’ expressions became more worried.

 

In particular, when I brought up the topic of magic books, they looked like they were looking at a person lying down on a bed.

 

‘Is it that weird that Theresa lost interest in parties?’

 

I nodded after checking the plausibility with a developer’s mind.

 

‘It’s weird.’

 

Theresa couldn’t have done that unless she had a fatal disease or was trying to play a vicious trick.

 

“Today Count Fabio’s family is also attending the auction, is that really okay? It will attract more attention than usual.”

 

“Fabio? Who is that?”

 

…I realized as soon as I said that.

 

‘The family that broke off the marriage with Theresa!’

 

I was wondering why there were nuances of regrets in my birthday letters.

 

‘It was all about the canceled engagement.’

 

Unintentionally, I didn’t understand the meaning of the word, so I ignored the contents of the marriage breakup and replied to the letters.

 

‘No, how can I remember the name of the extra that I named randomly?’

 

I comforted myself.

 

“It can’t be helped. It’s not something I can avoid forever. And it’s my fault that the engagement is canceled.”

 

“Lady…”

 

“Let’s not talk about the past anymore. It’s rude to Count Fabio’s family too.”

 

As I continued spouting common sense remarks, the servants’ expressions darkened.

 

Someone whispered.

 

“I guess she’s still in shock…”

 

Yeah, let’s not talk.

 

I finished my preparations and went down to the first floor.

 

While crossing the lobby, I encountered an unexpected person. It was Giuseppe.

 

Spotting me, Giuseppe stopped nearby and frowned.

 

“What’s up with your face?”

 

“Why? Is it weird?”

 

Although covered by a black cloak, the blue-black dress that exposed my shoulders was decorated with small jewels and beautifully reflected in the light of the chandelier.

 

The elegant hair also had a more perfect curl than usual.

 

It was an outfit worthy of a villainous young lady who felt the force of darkness intensely.

 

Giuseppe glanced at the thread bracelet on my wrist and pursed his lips.

 

It was a cute bracelet that didn’t fit today’s outfit, but it was an opportunity to promote Libby indirectly.

 

It would be a device that highlighted Libby’s innocence, like a baby lark that had appeared among worn-out serpents and raccoons.

 

‘It’s originally Roseanne’s role.’

 

The image of a beast tamer that inspired even the beast Theresa seemed good enough.

 

Giuseppe strode towards me with a grumpy face as I was unsure what it was that he didn’t like.

 

At that moment, I felt magic.

“Hem of your dress, shine like the stars in the night sky with every step you take.”

 

Handling very small units of magic particles required excellent control.

 

Delicate magic control was Giuseppe’s specialty, and this ability was a sign of affection that was only used for Libby.

 

The light powder was sprinkled just exquisitely, leaving only a mysterious impression when you glanced at it.

 

“You’re worth being looked at now.”

 

Giuseppe spoke curtly and rushed to the other side.

 

His reddened ears clearly showed how embarrassed he was.

 

Ring!

[That guy, you’ve tamed him…]

 

I don’t think so.

 

‘He’s doing that because he’s sorry that he couldn’t give me a birthday present.’

 

Giuseppe was a child who loved his family very much except for Theresa.

 

Even if he didn’t want to be nice to me, if he wanted his family to live in harmony, he’d have grown old enough to match the mood.

 

‘That’s something I’ve done since I was eight years old.’

 

“Still, I didn’t know he would do this much.”

 

I moved the hem of my dress gently and headed for the carriage.

 

The maids followed and exclaimed at the light powder flying every time the hem of the dress swayed.

 

“I heard that Young Master’s specialty is this delicate mana control, but I didn’t expect I’d actually see it.”

 

“Young Master Giuseppe has been wanting to get closer to Lady Theresa these days. He must have been waiting for Lady to go out again today.”

 

Why is the story flowing like this?

 

“Didn’t Giuseppe just come back from going out?”

 

The maids grinned.

 

“There wasn’t any dirt on his shoes. He had been going back and forth only in the lobby.”

 

The maids must have become more comfortable with me.

 

‘That’s why they keep saying weird things.’

 

I shrugged my shoulders in disagreement, grabbed the hand of the escort knight who was waiting outside, and climbed into the carriage.

 

“Lady, we’ll be with you soon.”

 

I was puzzled when they said they would come in another carriage.

 

“The carriage is wide, so why would you do that? Let’s ride together.”

 

The maids hesitated as if they were taken aback.

 

I knew Theresa was scary, but it was a little frustrating that they got startled and hesitated whenever I said something.

 

“Get in quickly. If I am late, it’ll be your responsibility.”

 

Only then did the maids get into the carriage.

 

They all spoke shyly with bright faces.

 

“Thank you, Lady. It was my wish to ride such a beautiful carriage…”

 

“No maids have ever ridden such a great carriage.”

 

I nodded and said, “Yes.”

 

Theresa had only taken friends from high-ranking families to high-class events.

 

She called them friends but they were actually young ladies who served her instead of the maids.

 

Therefore, today was the first time Theresa had taken the maids to an event like this.

 

And that too, in her own carriage.

 

The maids were excited about that fact.

 

“If you go to the Saint Trio Hotel today, no carriages will want to stand by this carriage.”

 

“Just the carriage? No one would want to stand by her side, right?”

 

I scratched my cheek slightly.

 

‘Still, I haven’t been violent since I possessed this body. Do I still look like I’m about to tear anyone’s hair apart?’

 

Then, the maids burst into laughter at the same time.

 

“I meant, because Lady is beautiful, everyone wouldn’t be able to approach her for fear of being compared.”

 

‘That’s what you meant?’

 

Embarrassed, I opened the magic book I had brought to read on the carriage.

 

The maids laughed again.

“…”

 

The Constellation ‘Haha Bus’ ran out of control, just what the heck he got excited about.

 

[Many constellations frown at ‘Haha Bus’ post.]

 

[Channel Manager – Ozworld will mute Constellation Haha Bus’ patronage notification for 24 hours.]

 

‘There’s a function like that.’

 

I concentrated on the magic book after grudgingly removing all the support windows.
