22. Why is he like this again?
“… Are you talking about a new marriage?”
“Yes. Since the engagement with the Persian duke is broken, shouldn’t we find a new wife?”
Francese turns her head to look at me from behind. What, why what to do I don’t know this time either. It’s a marriage story, but you have to figure it out.
France’s eyebrows twisted as I didn’t show any reaction. What answer were you expecting?
Said Frances. It was a cold voice.
“I have no intention of getting a new fiance.”
“Why? When are you crying and begging to find a marriage partner? Have you changed your mind now?”
“Yes. Some of my thoughts have changed, but I need time to gather my mind.”
“Yes. It must have come as a shock that the Duke of Persia was gay. I don’t understand.”
What is it? I think he’s a little softer than before. Is it because of the mood? Eden Descartes opened the letter and thrust it into France.
“Still, it would be nice to see it once. I gathered only those who do not harm the prestige of the Duke of Cartesian, so this time they must be decent people.”
France’s eyebrows furrowed. He doesn’t seem to want to have a new fiancé at all.
“I’m sorry, but I…… “
“First of all, it means to look only at the list. It’s not too late to make a decision later. Don’t expect a good answer.”
Eden Descartes got up and straightened his clothes.
“France. I know you’ve been wanting to get out of this dukedom for a long time. So, I am telling you this, so think about it carefully.”
Kung. The door is closed. It’s very cold-blooded to just say what you have to say and walk out. By the way, you knew that Frances was about to leave the Duke of Descartes. You’re quick to notice.
I looked down at Frances to see her reaction. Her hands were shaking.
“Princess? Are you okay?”
“… ….”
France doesn’t answer. There was a deep silence, and the room became quiet.
“Princess?”
“Uh.”
“What are you doing?”
Poof. She stood up from her seat and looked at me.
“Yes. What’s up Why did you just stare at me without saying anything when the talk of marriage came up earlier?”
“I dared to decide that I was not in a position to discuss it. Isn’t it strange that I have an opinion when deciding on a marriage partner for the princess?”
Frances opened her eyes shallowly. Why are you staring at me I didn’t understand.
“Do you want me to get engaged?”
“Yes?”
“What happened to the plan to make the Duke of Descartes regret it?”
“That is possible even after being engaged. Even after we are married.”
“I didn’t mean that… !”
I was speechless. Frances, licking her lips and brushing her bangs back. Seeing her narrowed eyebrows, she seems angry for some reason.
“Jin.”
“Yes.”
“I will never get engaged again.”
“Why?”
Frances opened her eyes shallowly and glared at me.
“Because the person I want is different. Go out now.”
“Yes?”
“Get out.”
She was suddenly kicked out of the room. What made her mad at her When she comes back she was going to review some math or something… ….
From noble mtl dot com
‘Is it because Eden Descartes took several wives?’
Well, Frances must be in a bad mood too. It means that she knew that any man was good. He said that more than anything he wanted someone apart.
Helena, who was waiting in front of the door, asked cautiously.
“Hey, what’s going on… ?”
“I don’t know either. I just got kicked out.”
“Uh… Couldn’t it have gone against the princess’s heart?”
“Me? What did you do?”
“That’s it, I don’t know. She hadn’t heard.”
Hmm. What was the problem What made her mad at her?
‘Did you expect me to tell you not to get engaged?’
Why? The question popped into her mind. The plan might go a little wrong, but there was no big problem in proceeding with the work.
It would take some time to get engaged and officially married anyway, and even after her marriage, France’s magical ability and business were able to achieve sufficient achievement.
But why is she mad at me?
‘I’m not the person he wants.’
Also, would you like me no matter how long we’ve met? Judging from the attitude I’ve shown so far, even if I can have a good feeling, it didn’t take enough time for it to develop into a feeling of longing. Again I didn’t understand.
‘Well, I’ll be able to get rid of my anger by tomorrow.’
It is a woman’s heart that she does not know even if she originally knew it. I said to Helena.
“Take good care of the princess.”
“Yes?”
“If you don’t want to go missing, take care of it.”
“Oops! Yes!”
Helena shrank in a stiff rigidity. How could someone so naive survive in this dreary Descartes duchy? Tsk tsk.
‘It’s not something I’m worried about.’
I returned to the warehouse. Two steamed potatoes and a bottle of milk are still in front of the door today. Can’t you just give me something else? How can I live by eating only these things?
Yes. The life of a slave is hard. How long have I not eaten meat…….
‘Still, I’ll be able to eat meat later when France’s position rises.’
In order to do so, France’s ability must be further developed. I immediately began to prepare things necessary for her growth.
First of all, you have to think of a math problem that Frances needs to solve. It’s such a problem that makes you grow the power to think without being too boring.
‘How did I study in the past?’
I studied in the form of memorization and memorization. I solved endless problem books and took expensive lectures. I hated math because I almost hit it on the head like that.
So you should never use this method. Then you will lose interest in math. No, it’s good if you lose interest, you might hate it.
“Mmm.”
As expected, creating problems is the most difficult. I have a direction on how to teach, but I don’t know how to start.
‘I have no choice but to make it blindly.’
It will be much easier to fix it gradually after seeing France’s reaction.
I was kicked out by Frances and the rest of the time I focused on making math problems.
* * *
Frances put her list in her drawer and slammed her face into her bed. She was not in a good mood.
I liked the talk about the new marriage. It’s just because you put off the time and refuse.
There was another reason for France’s upset.
In my heart, I wanted to hear Jin tell me not to get engaged. Because Frances had a crush on Jean, who only moved for her own sake.
The words that you will take my side. The words I heard then still linger in my ears. Words spoken by the first and only ally. I will never be able to forget it for the rest of my life.
“… ….”
Is it really just the end between master and slave? What is this heart It is a feeling that I feel for the first time, different from the crush I usually have.
France sighed at the unfamiliar feeling.
“Ha ha.”
The belated regret that comes at the same time as you exhale. There was no need to kick him out with such a temper.
“… You were too sensitive.”
Frances looked out the window, resentful of herself a moment ago. Thinking of excuses for tomorrow.
* * *
The next day.
As soon as I got up, I got dressed and went inside the mansion. And knocked on France’s door.
“This is Jin.”
―… ….
No answer. Hasn’t it happened yet?
Just then, Helena returned with a basin of water. I asked her
“Is the Princess awake?”
“Yes. You were awake for a long time.”
“There is no answer?”
“Huh? You couldn’t have.”
Thump thump. Helena knocked on her door, holding her basin in one hand.
“Princess. This is Helena. She brought water for washing her face.”
-Come in.
What is it? Why do you only answer Helena and not me? Are you still mad about what happened yesterday? This is a bit difficult.
Jumping. Helena opened the door and entered. I tried to follow her, but…….
“… Jin, don’t come in yet.”
“Yes?”
“Shouldn’t she change her clothes?”
“Ah.”
I hurriedly closed the door and left. If so, you should have told me in advance. It’s just that I’m embarrassed. And after a while a voice is heard.
-Come in now.
When I opened the door and entered, Frances was sitting on a chair wearing a loose dress.
“Princess. I will tell you the schedule for today.”
“Are you talking about the schedule as soon as you arrive?”
“Oh, I couldn’t say hello. Did you sleep well?”
“… I’m not talking about that. Well, that’s okay Come and sit down.”
As she said, I sat down across the table. She met her gaze. Then Frances turned her head.
‘What, why are you like that?’
You’ve been doing well until now, but you suddenly appear like that? Is it related to what happened yesterday? I asked Frances.
“Princess?”
“… Why.”
“Can I ask why you were angry yesterday?”
Frances opened her eyes shallowly and glared at me. What, why are you doing that? She sighed and replied.
“Ha ha. Listen carefully. When I find a marriage partner and get married, I will break up with you.”
“Yes… ? Didn’t I go with you?”
“You can’t do that. If you are married to some woman But she brought a male slave? What do you think?”
“Ah… …. Come to think of it, yes. I thought briefly. Sorry.”
So that’s why I said what happened to the plan to make me regret it together? Because if Francee finds a marriage partner and she gets married, she will be separated.
Then I will become a slave again and go up to the auction house.
Said Frances.
“Well, now that I know it, it’s done. I’m sorry about yesterday…….”
France is speechless. He didn’t even have to apologize. It’s like having a confrontation with the crown prince to protect me. Again, Frances Descartes is a good person, unlike the ones in the game.
‘I don’t know how he behaves in social circles.’
I smiled and looked at it. Poof. Frances turned her head. She said, looking out of her window.
“So, what are you going to do today?”
“There is a problem I created yesterday. If you learn this, you should be able to use most magic.”
“Really? Can you finally use magic?”
“I’ll have to learn magic before that, though.”
“Ah… ….”
The tension goes up and then goes down. It’s nice to see something like that sometimes.
“Still, if you learn the concepts presented this time, the end will come.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Still, I have to constantly review it.”
Smile. Frances gave a faint smile.
“It doesn’t matter. I’ve been in my room looking out the window, but wouldn’t it be fun to be able to study something?”
A good attitude. After that, I’ll be able to use all kinds of magic.
Although magic in this world is made up of mathematics, it does not require a very high level. If I had the constitution to learn magical power right now, I would have reached the level of a great wizard. Even Frances could use it easily.
“Then, today’s lesson.”
I gave Frances her high school level math concepts. She absorbed the concepts I taught her like a sponge.
‘If I had been born in modern times, I think I would have just gotten through a prestigious university.’
With such concentration and intelligence, you have never received basic education. It’s just pitiful.
At the time when I was in the middle of a class.
Cock Cock. Cock cock.
A little bird was knocking on the window.
“It’s a telegram.”
“It looks like the request has been completed.”
I got up from my seat.
“Let’s go right away.”
It’s time to go get information about the key figure in my plan, Kazar Uplane.
