27. On my happiness after graduating from being the hated Duke's daughter

「Ollie!」

「Ollie, you’re beautiful today!!」

 

It has been some time since I came to the neighboring country.

 

I am a friend of Ihmut, the Second Prince of this country, and I am in the form of an immigrant. I have been educated as a daughter of a Duke, and in this country I work as a talker for Ihmut’s sister and tutor for the daughters.

 

Nathe has gone up to the royal court as a civil servant. When I was in school, Ihmut and I were competing for first place in testing, and Nathe also held a grade in the top five. Narthe is happy to work as a civil servant because she was bought for it.

 

Incidentally, the mansion I live in was apparently purchased by Father and Mother with our money after consulting with Ihmut. After handing over his title to Brother, Father and Mother immigrated here and seem to be enjoying their time here, interacting with the nobles of the country.

 

After all, I didn’t lose my rank as a noble and become a commoner. Although I will most likely not be involved in the future with Brother, who has taken over the dukedom, I am still a daughter of Shefinko lineage, and Father and Mother are a former Duke and Duchess.

 

When I entered the academy, I thought wouldn’t be able to have a fiancée or friends, I was going to spend time alone, graduate and become a commoner—— I think life is strange.

 

Ihmut and Nathe often come to see me. Of course, I also go to see them. I was able to make friends with the ladies of this country. I was glad that they saw me for who I was, and not as some kind of hated person. Well, I do get some stares from the ladies who seem to want to be Ihmut’s wife.

…I have not yet responded to Ihmut’s confession.

 

「Hey, hey, Ollie, Let’s talk in private! Ihmut, go over there!」

「Eh, why, uhh…」

「It’s a private conversation between women!」

 

Saying this, Nathe once kicked Ihmut out of the room. Then Nathe approached me quickly and said.

 

「Ollie, why didn’t you confess your feelings to Ihmut-sama??」

「Buh—!」

 

I gulped down the tea I was drinking.

 

Or rather, the servants of this mansion—— When Father and Mother immigrated here, the people who immigrated with them and the new people they hired—— too, they looked at me as if Nathe expects me to say it.

 

「Ollie, you don’t hate Ihmut-sama, do you?」

「…No. Ihmut doesn’t force me to do anything, he waits for me even if I don’t answer in time.」

「Is that so. Maybe instead of bringing you to the neighboring country—— And what if Ihmut-sama comes close to Ollie! I’ve been talking to the Crown Prince of this country about slapping him when that happens, but that’s not going to happen either!」

「Nathe, What are you discussing with His Royal Highness, The Crown Prince…?」

「His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and my superior at work are both on edge, wondering if Ihmut-sama’s love will come true… It’s obvious that Ihmut-sama loves Ollie.」

 

Nathe is a civilian official and is in a good position to do so.

 

This is because Nathe is a trusted friend of Ihmut’s and is competent… But still, is that what you are talking about?

 

Ihmut has given me so much. But he has never asked me to pay for it. He doesn’t force me to do anything, he waits for me even if I don’t answer him.

It was natural that his thoughtfulness toward me warmed my heart. That’s what Ihmut has done for me so much that he would forgive me if I chose another partner. That’s how much he cares about me.

 

——It would be strange not to think of Ihmut in such a special way.

 

「Ollie, you don’t dislike Ihmut-sama, you like him, don’t you?」

「……Yes.」

 

After moving to the neighboring country, Ihmut supported me as I was floundering in my new life.

Even if it was an ulterior motive of liking me and wanting me to like him, I was happy with that Ihmut’s behavior.

 

I can say that the reason I don’t feel anxious in a new environment is because of Ihmut. Of course, even the presence of Nathe and the other kids is reassuring. But… I’ve noticed for a while now that Ihmut is special among them.

But what can I say… After that graduation party, life in the neighboring country became the norm—— I missed the timing.

 

「…I don’t know how to put it. I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know when it’s the right time…」

「Ugh, it’s so adorable!! You can just say that in between the routine. Ihmut-sama will be pleased with whatever Ollie says. You don’t have to think about situations badly! If he could just say that he likes Ollie, I’d fall in love with you. And I’ll fall too, for peeking.」

「Errm, is that so?」

「Yes! That’s true. Then, I’ll go get Ihmut-sama.」

Nathe said and left once to call Ihmut.

 

I can go to any situation, even if I was in between routines. Nathe told me that I didn’t need to worry about timing, but as I was new to this kind of emotion, I didn’t know how to put it.

 

While I was thinking about this, Nathe brought Ifmut.

 

「Ollie, what were you talking to Miss Weshia about?」

「Ihmut-sama is tactless. It’s a secret talk between girls, that’s why it’s a secret! Well, if Ollie says it’s okay, it’s totally okay.」

 

Nathe glances at me as she says this. Nathe’s eyes appealed,「If you want to say it, just say it.」It has become somewhat expected.

 

「If Ollie doesn’t want to say it, that’s fine, okay?」

「…I was just talking about that.」

「Eh?」

「…I–I, I was talking about how I fell in love with, you, Ihmut!!」

 

At first the words were too small for Ihmut to hear, and now they were louder. But once I said them.

 

「Ihmut, I’m sorry for making you wait! I like you, Ihmut. I wish I could stay with Ihmut.」

 

Those words slipped out of my mouth.

 

Ihmut’s surprised face broke into a smile. Seeing that look on his face made me realize Nathe’s words,『No matter how Ollie said it, he’ll be pleased.』

 

「Ollie!!」

 

I am hugged by Ihmut, even though it is in front of Nathe and the servants.

 

I can hear voices from Nathe such as,「Ihmut-sama, you are bold. But Ollie, you’re so adorable, I know how you feel!」

 

「Thank you. I’m glad you like me. I’ll make you happy. So, marry me.」

「Fufu, is that what you’re going to do if you skip the dating period?」

 

I can’t help but chuckle at Ifmut’s words.

 

「Yes. I want to marry Ollie as soon as possible, so Ollie, don’t you want it?」

「No, I don’t mind. I’ll make Ihmut happy too. I don’t want to just make myself happy.」

「As expected, Ollie is really amazing.」

 

We have such a conversation with Ihmut as he hugs me.

It was comfortable to have such a conversation.

 

I then informed my parents and the rest of Ihmut’s family that I would be marrying Ihmut.

Everyone congratulated me on that.

 

 

Louise-sama hated me without knowing why.

Knowing that no matter how hard I tried, her assumption was that I was only a villainess.

I give up and desired to become a commoner.

Then I met Ihmut and Nathe.

At that graduation party, I graduated from being a hated daughter of a Duke.

 

——And I will be happy in the neighboring country with my favorite people, my favorite best friend, and my parents.

 

「Fufu.」

「Ollie, what’s wrong?」

「I’m just so happy. I am very excited about the future.」

 

The future is so much to look forward to.

——I am, as of now, was very happy.
