"Oh my, isn't it Lady Florian, take a seat. "
Rosette requested as she approached Florian.
"I-I apologize for the sudden entrance, something came up and I was late I even disturb the tea party I'm really sorry. "
Florian apologize as she bowed down her head to Rosette.
"Oh my, don't be it's okay we just started now raise your head Lady Florian it's not proper for a noble to bow their heads to another noble. "
"Right I'm sorry"
And with that Florian sat down beside Rosette.
Tsk looks like Rosette found a scape goat huh.
What happens now?
The flow of the event was disturbed because of me.
On the novel the tea party was ended after Yuzu thanked Florian.
The major thing that happened in here was Florian appearance and Florian is in front of me now.
So what now?!
I can't believe I came to the tea party without a plan!
I was planning on running away after I got my payback on Rosette.
Is it okay for me to go back now?
"Lady Yuzu, it's our first time meeting officially but I've heard about you, hope we get along well! "
Said Florian with a warm smile.
Gah!! What a blinding sunshine! How can the old Yuzu hate this adorable creation!
"Yeah I hope we get along well Lady Florian. "
Yuzu responded with a straight face.
Sigh~ I guess I just wait until this tea party is over it wouldn't do good if I shame Rosette with Yuzu in here I'm sure she stand up for her.
Let just drink the tea-
Hm? Eugene? What is he looking intently-
Oh Florian?!
Right!! I forgot! Eugene and Zekel was mesmerized by Florian beauty on the first meeting and as the novel flow they developed affection towards Florian and it turned out to be a love triangle between them!! How can I forget that?!
Then what about Zekel, oh as expected he's also looking at Florian and....Rin seems like she noticed Zekel interests towards Florian....
I wonder who's Florian endgame? The favor was with Eugene since Zekel already has a fiance.
Oh well it's none of my business I better stay away from the main characters as possible.
Since I'm not into romance I only read the novel because the villain has the same name as me and I find that intriguing.
"Oh! Lady Yuzu is the tea to your liking? "
"Yes Lady Rosette this is a fine tea thank you. "
What now? Is she planning on doing something again?
"I see I'm glad! "
Rosette responsed with a sly smile.
Tsk what is she planning now?
.....
The tea party ended rather quickly and Rosette didn't do anything after Florian showed up, she must have wanted to act like the good girl in front of Florian.
Well can't be help since even if Florian was in a average noble family she was famous because of her looks and intelligence and there's also a rumour that says she's a lost princess which turned out to be true. And now! I've got nothing with them now! Even if, it wasn't a satisfying victory I still feel like I've won against Rosette! So now, I live happily with Lilly until I go back to my world!
But.. How do I go back?!
Sigh~ Let's think about that when I get back home now I just want to lie on my bed.
Where's Lilly anyway? What's taking her so long?
She's not in front of the gate.
Should I look for her-
"Oh my, isn't it the great princess Yuzu~"
This voice don't tell me....
Eugene!!!
What does he want from me?!
And he just called me the great princess?! Does he want to shame me now since I brought up my standing as a princess earlier?! No, let's calm down and reply calmly.
"Oh my~, what does the great magician want from me? ~"
Yuzu replied with a teasing tone.
Heh~he started it so might as well go with it.
"What a cocky brat"
"Oh my I don't deserve your compliment~"
"It's not a compliment."
"Then what does the great magician want from me? "
"Tell me everything you know about Florian"
Eh? Florian? Well I know he would be interested in Florian but... Why would he ask me?!!
Of course I know what Florian likes and her hobbies since I read the novel but me and Florian didn't show any interaction during the tea party at all so why would he ask me?
Don't tell me... He found out I wasn't Yuzu?!
No, no that's impossible and he's the analytical type so he wouldn't believe something like that...
For now let's ask him..
"Why would the great magician ask me about something like that? I'm sure you know that me and Florian aren't that close and we only gave greetings during the tea party. "
Crap I'm getting nervous, what if he really found out?!
"I know that. You think I'm blind? "
"Eh....? Then why...? "
What? He knew that we aren't close but he asked me something like that? Well at least he didn't figured it out... What a relief...
"I'm not telling you to say anything you know right now. Regarding what Florian said earlier to you I'm sure she try to get closer to you. So if that happens tell me what you know about her. "
What? So basically he's ordering me around? He want me to get information about Florian. What the hell Did he expect me to say "Oh okay, sure it's my pleasure!"?
This bastard he's belittling me.
"I'm sorry but I don't think I have a reason to say yes. "
This brat did he expect me to just stay still and listen to his orders?!
"Well it's not like you're doing this for free duh, how about 100 gold for 1 information? "
A hundred of gold?! If I have that much money I'll be living my life!! I can go to vacation! Eat delicious food and do what I like!!
But... He's one of the main characters if I get involved to him too much I'm sure it'll bring me no good.... For the sake of my safety I have to refuse..
Good bye my gold....
"I apologize but I cannot do that selling someone for money isn't what a Royal should do, if you want to know more about Florian you should do it yourself, making someone do it and just cower behind isn't what a man should do, and I'm sure you know that I have a status of a princess, I let this slide for once but if this happens again I punish you by law for disrespecting a Royal. "
Gah!! did I said too much?!! Punish by law?! I don't even know how the law works in here!!!
"What the~ you're boring~ I thought you would be stupid enough to say yes. Well never mind I guess the deal is off. "
Well if it's the old Yuzu I'm sure she might have said yes but not me! I want to live peacefully as possible.
"But, making someone do it and just cower behind isn't what a man should do huh, that's unexpected coming from you heh~"
Eugene said with a teasing smile and sly tone.
"Just how low is your expectation of me?!! "
"Smaller than ant I guess? "
"That's too low! I'm a human being you kno-"
"But I guess it's a little higher now~ I need to go~ bye-bye Ms. Princess~"
Eugene said with a teasing tone as he waved and left.
Ms. Princess?! That bastard sure is taking lightly of me! I told him to mind his actions when he's with me!
But I guess it's also my fault since I ended up getting caught in the moment and talked to him casually.
Sigh~ what a day...
"Lady Yuzu! I apologize I'm late, I never expected the tea party would end so early..."
Lilly ran towards Yuzu and bowed down her head.
"Don't worry it's okay raise your head lilly"
"Thank you.... Lady Yuzu"
"Is the carriage here?"
"Ah! Yes my Lady please follow me."
Yuzu and Lilly got into the carriage and Yuzu's tiring day ended.
"But I'm glad I didn't came so late, if it weren't for young master Zekel I'm sure I'll be an hour late. "
"Eh...? Zekel?!! "
