Rumor
School is closed for the winter, so I have to go back to my parents' house in the Sordalene territory.
On the night I finally returned home after two days of riding in a horse-drawn carriage, Father called me.
"Rumors…?"
"Yeah, I don't think you're doing that, but I wanted to make sure."
I was told that there were rumors about me in the territory.
According to him, I'm on bad terms with Idouard Kimberley.
According to him, I was having fun surrounded by men and was festering and having fun.
According to him, I'm regularly using unnecessary drugs.
"How insidious."
"It’s not true, right?"
"Of course!"
Upon hearing my denial, my father just mumbled, [I see], and the conversation ended.
I never spoke to my father after that.
My father is busy as a marquis.
Because he has his own thing to do.
―――
"Are you going to grow this seedling?"
The villages where Mileina was born were poor areas.
The reason for this poverty is that there is very little rainfall in this area, making it difficult for crops to grow.
"Yes, how to raise them is written in this book."
I researched at the school library
It's a seedling brought in from the empire.
"Can this be eaten?"
The village chief is worried after smelling the unique smell of the seedlings.
"No, it's not food."
"No way!"
"But now it's going to be a coveted flower, and it's most appropriate for this region."
"We…"
"You can buy crops with the sales from these flowers."
The amount of wheat and vegetables that can be grown here is very small.
But this flower can be grown in large quantities in this climate.
That's why I want them to plant it
For themselves too
"The marquis's family will distribute food until we see results. I have been assured of this by my father and the marquis."
"……Understood"
―――
It will still take some time until mass production
However, by the time I returned to school, some flowers will bloom.
I've then succeeded in creating the desired outcome
"Haa..."
In the end, I didn't have time to rest during the school holidays, so I let out a big sigh on the carriage ride to the school.
"You look tired."
It is the bodyguard who rides the carriage with me.
"Maybe I was a little too impatient."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"If I marry Idouard-sama, I will become a woman of the Dezefa Kingdom."
If that happens, I will have to give top priority to my husband Idouard-sama, the Kimberley family, and the Kingdom of Dezefa.
I want to leave as much as possible to the people of the Sordalene territory that my father rules.
Above all, I want to make sure that Mileina-san, who I love as a friend, doesn't have to suffer after graduation.
"I see."
The guard smiles when he hears my words.
That face is so creepy
"What is it?"
"No, I thought this area would be fine. Stop the carriage."
The driver stops the horse according to the guard's words.
"It looks like there’s nothing, though?"
I had a bad feeling
"There are important things here."
"I see, I wonder what it is?"
I grip it tightly so the guards don't notice.
"You're here!"
I have a bad feeling
"Goeh!"
What I was clutching was a long cane hidden in the seat.
I jumped at the man who was a guard and hit him in the jaw.
"Youuu!"
The coachman suddenly had a bad look in his eyes, too
I hit that man on the cheek as hard as I could with my cane.
Then I jumped off the carriage
"Shit!"
"Hey, catch her!"
I had brought twenty guards with me.
Five of them lie bleeding on the ground.
"Get out of the way, you fools!"
Fortunately, the horse was still safe.
"Run!"
That child carried me away from the carriage.
"Chase her! Chase her!"
"If she escaped here, there's no turning back!"
