Plot
"Why…"
A sudden letter from my father
The content was about the demotion of the Sordalene family.
From Marquis to Baronet
The lowest hereditary title in the Shelma Kingdom
Above all, we are now treated as a commoner rather than as a nobleman.
"Planning a civil war within the Shelma Kingdom, suspicion of usurping the throne, secret communication with a hostile country, plotting discord to the Dezefa Kingdom…?"
That's ridiculous.
Doesn't this look like a villain from a picture story?
Did the king believe this?
My body loses its strength
I just fell down on the bed
"Ojousama? There's a huge noise right now... Ojousama!"
Apparently, Tinia was nearby.
She enters my room without permission and panics on her own
"No problem... well, I don't have anything."
What will remain of the Sordalene family if we become commoners?
There will be no land left
Even if it remains, it is certain that it will be significantly reduced.
What about assets?
Will there be enough money for me to graduate from the school?
Both my father and mother are temperate people.
If they don't confiscate a lot of assets, will we be able to buy enough time to find a job?
"Sorry to intrude!"
Saying that, a group enters without permission, just like Tinia.
But I don't feel the same care from them as Tinia.
They are the group that once surrounded me.
And at the center of it is
"How are you feeling? Eugenia Ojousama"
Eri Drassel
A woman with golden hair who transferred in around the same time as Ask and Mileina
"Eri-sama, this woman is no longer a noble!"
The girls who have become Eri's entourage look down on me and laugh at me.
"Ara, ara, how rude of me. It's quite difficult to treat aristocratic society by rank."
"Yes, do you need something? Eri-san."
"You're rude!"
While shouting that, her entourage hit me on the cheek with a fan.
"Eri Drassel-sama is the person who will become the Marchioness of Dezefa Kingdom from now on! Someone like you, who has fallen into a lowly position, should not call out her name so casually!"
"Maryeira-san"
"Eh?"
"Who said it's okay to be violent?"
"Ah, no, I..."
"Everyone, Maryeira-san has lost her composure. I can’t handle it, so please."
The woman who hit me was taken outside by Eri Drassel's henchmen.
"I'm sorry Eugenia, yes, I'm still a commoner, so I can't help it if you dismiss me, but that will end soon."
"You said you were going to become a Marchioness, right?"
"Yes, I will take Idouard-sama. No, I have already taken him."
"You thieving cat..."
"Could you please refrain from being rude? Idouard-sama himself chose me, and he also spoke to the Kimberley family."
I see
Plotting discord to the Dezefa...
"You spread the rumor!"
"Do you have any evidence? Is there any basis that I did such an act? None, right? Because there is no evidence, and if there are no witnesses or perpetrators, there is no fact that I did it."
What about the fact that she confessed it herself?
"I said it here. There's no point in you shouting, you know? No one would believe you. A commoner like you and me whose future was promised, even a child would know which would benefit more from it."
I want to beat this woman to death right now.
But if I do that
"Rather, I think it would be better for you to live a quiet and modest life here. The more you struggle, the worse your position will be. You should be happy that you won't be executed. Ah, the people will be dissatisfied that the marquis who committed such misdeeds will only be demoted without being executed, right?''
Eri says that and leaves the room while laughing at me.
