Nora and Yennie approach and call out, but Hanna and I both dismissively shake our heads.
They’ve been trying to pick up the pieces instead of Hanna and me, but I can’t burden them any longer.
“Fufu… It’s okay, Nora and Yennie. Surprisingly, I’m not tired. I believe you two should rest.”
“No! I’ll be by his highness’s side…!”
“Me as well!”
They look like they’re about to cry and plead desperately.
“No… We don’t know what Prince Oscar and Prince Charles of the Carolin Empire are up to with only two days left of the celebration… Do you understand, please, for the sake of Dee-sama?”
“…Marguerite-sama, it’s not fair to talk like that…”
Nora finally couldn’t stand it and sobbed, spilling unending tears.
Now is the time for me, as Dee-sama’s representative, to do it.
“Of course, I’ll take a break if you two take a break, right Hanna?”
“…”
Hannah turned her head, biting her lower lip, as I said this.
She’s stubborn and obstinate, and she loves Dee-sama as much as I do….
And the morning arrived while we were having this argument.
And I…
“…Marguerite-sama?”
“Hannah, please take care of Dee-sama. I’ll be in charge of the celebration as Dee-sama’s representative.”
“”” What?!”””
“I stood up and told them that, and they all gave me wide eyes.”
“B-But Marguerite-sama hasn’t slept a wink, more than us…”
“Fufu… It’s okay. Besides, when Dee-sama wakes up, he will be very angry if we just burst into tears and are devastated.”
Saying that, I smirk and smile.
“However, I should do something about my eyes… Will you help me hide it, Nora and Yennie?”
“”Y-Yes…””
They exchanged glances before responding.
“All right, let’s go.”
I tried to be as calm as possible.
Yes, if I was depressed, Dee-sama would probably chastise me.
Instead, I want to be praised by Dee-sama after he wakes up and sees that the celebration he put his heart and soul into is a success.
And let him show us that kind smile of his again.
So…
“… Hanna… could you please…”
“Yes…!”
I looked determined as the three of us exited Dee-sama’s room, leaving Hanna behind.
