The Marquis' Daughter Acts As A Pawn

The second day I stayed at Count Dammeyer's mansion.

I cannot return to the House of the Duke of Ceradius, where the Roland's Mission is staying, and I still paint Leonore today. Just like yesterday, she was sitting in a chair at the window, smiling with the same serene smile.

"Hey, Sharon. There was a massive noble solemnity in the Rolands kingdom, wasn't there?

"Sounds like it. There was no particular change around me."

"Didn't you hear the royal rumors or something?

Leonore's eyes sparkle.

While I was slightly troubled, I decided to provide Leonore with a degree of information generally known within the Kingdom of Rolands.

"I have heard that Prince Douglas First Prince was stripped of his right to inherit the throne and shut down."

"Really? What kind of recognition does King Rolands get in Ichii?

"It's no different that I'm respected as a king, but many people talk about how terrible it is to have executed my wife's side queen and shut her son's first prince down, even though Solemn Qing"

Because they solemnly sanctified the ecclesiastical nobility before much damage was done to their lives, civilians have many critical opinions towards His Majesty the King.

Because he expected that to happen, His Majesty made a solemn declaration on his own behalf and is willing to let Lord Edward inherit the throne sooner than planned.

"Thanks for the useful information, Sharon"

"No...... this is what we all know about the Rolands people. Leonore, I'm sorry I can't help you lady. That's why... I can't appreciate a painting unless I dress as a man..."

I laid down my paintbrush with a sunken face.

Then Leonore rose from his chair, hugging me, and stroking his head gently.

"That's not true! Sharon's paintings are very nice. I don't appreciate you, Roland. The Kingdom is wrong."

"But..."

When Leonore departed from me, he gently glanced at the canvas.

There is depicted the leonore as it is in the sun to increase the brilliance.

"Sharon, you're the only one who paints me so beautifully. It's strange to say so yourself, but you look like a flower fairy. As much as I want to show that guy."

Leonore narrowed his eyes and said in a soft voice.

She looks so happy, she's on the enemy's side, but she smiles.

(... you really love Prince Ardarberto)

I lay my hands on my chest and bow my head.

"It's an honor, my lady."

"It's a legitimate assessment. One day... I want Sharon to paint a picture of my hometown. The orphanage is surrounded by nature, and in the spring there will be lots of Suzuran blooming. It was like a carpet of clouds was spreading and it was so beautiful. I wonder how Sharon's eyes will see that view."

"I also want to see that view that one day... Lady Leonore saw. And if I could leave it in the picture...... I think that would be a very happy thing"

Then Sharon will have to stay with me the whole time.

Dull, Leonore laughed a lot and sat back in the chair. And I will also resume drawing Leonore.

"Hey, Sharon. What does the Marquis Julianna Lewis look like?

"... what...?

All of a sudden they give me a name, and my heart makes an unpleasant sound.

While my heart was upset, I pretended to be calm and leaned my neck.

"I want to know about my personality, my favorite food, what kind of dress you like, and all that nonsense."

"I have exchanged words with His Highness Edward, but not with the Marquis Marquis of Lewis. I refrain from getting married, and I'm not the kind of person that I can talk to who's well known as a man."

"Really? Too bad..."

Leonore sighed small.

There is nothing suspicious about how it is. But my vigilance did not fade.

The Kingdom of Samorta cannot help but want to acquire me with the divine eye. I can't lose my mind for a moment.

"Your daughter and I are close, and are you concerned about the Marquis Marquis of Lewis?

"Right. She's like Suzuran and she's beautiful, so why don't you just want to get along?

(What do you mean I'm like Suzuran...?

I did not understand the meaning of Leonore's words, and I tried to ask the question again. But it is interrupted by messy knocking noises.

"Leonore, are you there!?

"Well, Father. What are you doing in such a hurry?

Count Dammeyer entered the room in a hurry.

Leonore is smiling, keeping his hand on his mouth.

"At night His Royal Highness Prince Ardarberto will be there. You must entertain His Highness."

"Then you have to hurry and get ready. Don't be rude to His Royal Highness Ardalbert."

"... Leonore, I asked you"

"Am I supposed to comfort you as usual and give you my best? It's okay, Father."

When Leonore said so, Count Dammeyer lowered his chest with relief.

And look at this one in a hazy way. Looks like you finally recognized my existence.

"This is Lord Sharon. I'm sorry you're here."

"It is only natural that His Royal Highness King Ardarberto should take precedence over me and others."

When Count Dammeyer laughed niggardly, he saw me with an inclusive gaze.

"Did you draw a good picture, Lord Sharon?"

"If I were your father, I'd be quick. It won't be long before it's done."

Leonore stroked my cheek with a luscious hand as he snuggled at me.

(... Count Dammeyer doesn't know Sharon is a woman. Looks like Leonore is reporting that he caged Sharon. And Count Dammeyer relies on Leonore, too)

That much thought arose, and the hypothesis that is in me.

(... Could Leonore be manipulating Count Dammeyer and King Ardarbert Prince behind it? But... no way, that's...?

It is clear that Leonore is not just a princess to be loved. well worth considering.

(We have to go home to the Duke of Ceradius and discuss it with Edward and the others.)

"Fuck. Leonore, don't make fun of Lord Sharon too much."

As I lean over and rethink, Count Dammeyer sneaks and laughs, mistakenly mistakenly perceived by Leonore as being illuminated.

"I'm not making fun of you, Dad."

"Lord Sharon. Leonore is such a favorite daughter that she picks up a dying orphan on the side of the road and makes him her own servant that she is my most proud and at the same time a source of worry. Please, help my daughter."

Words like the father who guides his daughter, but from the look on Count Dammeyer's face I can only read the emotions of ugly desire. But I pretended not to notice it, as they wished.

"Lady Leonore is my benefactor. If you're in trouble, I'll be happy to help."

"That's good"

With that said, Count Dammeyer left the room early enough.

When Leonore turned to me, he lowered his brow butt sorry.

"I'm sorry. I didn't tell your father Sharon was a woman."

"Don't apologize! Besides, I don't have the courage to publicly say I'm a woman either. I'm still from the Kingdom of Rolands..."

"... Sharon"

Leonore causes my palm to grip a small bag of firm weight. When I opened inside, it contained dozens of blue round gems.

"... beautiful... like a clear blue sky..."

I think I've never seen those jewels with the sunlight reflecting and sparkling before, but I feel a sense of ready-to-see somewhere.

(... well, this color is the same as Edwardian's eyes)

It feels like a distant day to have met Master Edward, even though he was only a few days away. I don't know why, I want to see him asexually now.

"Pfft, I'm glad you liked it. This jewel is called Lapis Lazuli."

"... lapislazuli"

It's a gem of a kind I've never seen in the Kingdom of Rolands.

I watch Lapis Lazuli with interest.

"Lapis lazuli, when they crumble, they become paint ingredients. So Sharon, I'll give it to you."

"Oh, no! I can't have it!

As I tried to penetrate the lapis lazuli, Leonore controlled it by hand.

"Hey, Sharon. When the talks between the Kingdom of Rolands and the Kingdom of Samorta are over and everything is settled... come to me. And paint the world as you see it, you promise?

"... Lady Leonore"

"Come on, go. Now return to His Highness Edward Rolands."

That's all Leonore says, he deposits me with his servant and disappears into the back of the room.

As it was, I was forced into the carriage and returned to the house of the Duke of Seradius-
