27. I did bring it.
A fine day. If it had been someone else, it would have been a day to go on a pleasant picnic, but Frances was full of anxiety.
A feeling of nervousness and displeasure.
It was because of Jin.
‘He said he’d be back soon, so why isn’t he?’
It’s already been three days since I went looking for someone who didn’t know if it was Kazar Youplane or Yoplain.
‘Did I actually plan to run away from before?’
If the person Jin really went looking for was a wizard, and if it was a high-ranking wizard, it would be possible to break the bondage of slaves.
“No way… ?”
France hurriedly got up and rummaged in the drawer next to the bed. She took out a slave restraint orb and looked. Fortunately, the signal did not break.
“Whoa… ….”
She involuntarily sighed with relief. Is it because Jin is the first ally he made and the only person he can trust? He gives his heart to him for nothing.
‘I know that this kind of emotional consumption is meaningless.’
France sat down again, touching the slave restraints. I rested my chin on her chin and tapped the desk with my fingers.

At that time. The door opened and Helena came in with dessert and tea.
Checking on Frances, whose expression was not good for some reason, Helena asked cautiously.
“What are you doing… ?”
“… No, not really.”
In a strange air current, Helena gulped down her saliva and placed a dessert and a teacup on her table.
“Muh, if anything happens, ring the bell… ?”
“Yes.”
Helena takes her tray in her arms and hurriedly closes the door and leaves. Frances didn’t care. She just stared out her window in silence.
“… ….”
Glance. She looked at the dessert and hot black tea that were placed on the table. Since Eden changed the exclusive attendant, this often comes up on the table.
‘I don’t need anything like this.’
It doesn’t suit my taste.
After Eden’s exclusive attendant replacement incident, the attendants no longer harassed Frances. As an example, that attendant became a slave for contempt for nobles, or something. It must be because of that.
Even so, the attendants still did not recognize her as Princess Descartes or as a superior.
Anyway. It was surprising that Eden came out like that. How could a person who had no interest in her until now suddenly change like that?
‘Still, they seem to have treated me as a member of Descartes.’
Fishik. An absurd sneer at Eden escaped from France’s mouth. Ignoring her until now, whenever she doesn’t even treat me.
‘At least the lines are consistent.’
That son of a b*tch couldn’t eat himself. If you treat him like a line, he will continue to resent you.
It makes me expect nothing.
She knows better than anyone that expectations come back to betrayal.
‘The only thing I can trust is Jin.’
A person who is imprinted as a slave and cannot betray or escape unless he is freed. He was the only one who said he would be by my side.
Whoa, sighing heavily, Frances fiddled with her slave restraints and looked out her window. That was then.
Something came in through the window with an afterimage momentarily. Widely! Even the sound of shoes hitting the ground.
‘Is it true?’
France hurriedly turned her gaze to the side.
There was Jean Warenberg.
While holding a woman he has never seen before.
* * *
I put Ka-Zar on the floor, bent her head, and stretched her out, leaving Frances staring blankly at me.
“Princess? What are you doing?”
France was at a loss for words, just opening her mouth. I looked at her and called again.
“Princess?”
“… Who is that woman?”
“This is Kazar Uplane.”
“… Was she a woman?”
France was quite taken aback. Are you surprised too? It’s amazing. Just hearing his name makes me think he’s a man. I chuckled.
“I thought I was a man too, but I was surprised to find out that it was a woman.”
“I see…… Just by looking at the name, it was definitely a man…….”
As if our conversation was unpleasant, Kazar frowned.
“I’m definitely a woman, right? Lady Youplane!”
She pouted her lips in a huff, and finally turned her head away with a swish.
“I’m sorry I confused you about gender, so I’ll do what you ask.”
“You mean to teach the princess magic?”
“Yes.”
Whoa, Ka-Zar sighed and approached Frances.
“I’ll tell you in advance, even if I don’t have talent, I don’t know?”
“Don’t worry, that won’t happen.”
Kazar, who had a disapproving expression on his face, squeezed France’s wrist.
“Princess, excuse me for a moment.”
“Yes.”
Hwaaak… ! A small light began to twinkle and run down France’s wrist.
“Ohh… ….”
“How is it?”
“You are very talented.”
That’s right. Even in the game, there were very few wizards who dealt with black magic.
“So, can I learn magic now?”
“Yes. All that remains is whether or not you can understand the magic formula…….”
Glance. Kazar looked at me.
“That is no problem either. Princess is good at math.”
“Really? She must be able to do anything she can’t do if she becomes a princess of the Duke of Cartesian.”
Hmm, should I tell you the circumstances of Duke Descartes? I looked at Frances. She didn’t seem to care. Well, you’ll find out later.
“No paper and pen?”
“Yes. Wait.”
I opened the door and went out to tell Helena.
“Bring me a pen and paper.”
“Yes? Suddenly?”
“Quickly.”
As I stare, Helena moves in haste, and she has brought a pen and paper from somewhere.
“Hey, here.”
“Yes. Thanks.”
She received a pen and paper and handed it to them.
“Here.”
Kazar immediately began drawing a spell on paper with a pen. It was a magic formula divided into several strokes and a spell composed of words.
“Now, let’s start with this. It’s very basic, so it shouldn’t be too difficult.”
I spoke to Frances.
“Do you remember what you learned? You just have to push it as it is.”
“Yes.”
Frances nodded her head and grabbed her pen. After staring at her magic formula for a while, she began to solve the problem. And after a while
“It’s done.”
“I’ll check then.”
Kazar’s eyes widened as he gazed at the paper indifferently.
“Oh, you really solved it? Actually, it was a rather difficult problem.”
That bastard?
“So what? It’s easier than you think.”
Kazar nodded his head and continued to create problems. Kazar’s eyes lit up as Frances unraveled it.
“Did you solve this too? Let’s go use magic right now!”
I asked.
“Are you going outside?”
“Yes! You can’t use magic inside, can you?”
“I’m sorry, but that’s not possible.”
“Yes? Why?”
“The Princess is not allowed to go outside.”
Kazar tilted his head.
“Uh… Because the duke cares for you so much?”
“That’s not why.”
“Then… ?”
I looked at Frances. She nodded her head. She must mean it’s okay to talk about circumstances.
“Listen to me from now on.”
I told Kazar what had happened. How she is treated in the Franchei dukedom, and why she wants to learn magic. Then Kha-Zar shut her mouth and her wide-eyed eyes kept her speechless.
“That’s how it happened.”
“Is that true? Are you a princess?”
“Yes.”
Ka-Zar cocked her head, “Wow, this isn’t easy.” She does and she murmurs.
“But you are amazing. You haven’t even received basic education, but seeing how you solved that magic formula…….”
Yes. I was surprised too. How regrettable it must have been to absorb everything as taught.
“But. Then what should I do?”
“What?”
“Didn’t you say that if you come to the duke’s residence, you will take care of everything you need to do?”
Said Frances.
“Don’t worry about that. Because the only thing I’m allowed in this duke’s mansion is money.”
“Whew, that’s good. I was surprised to find out that I had to sleep in the stable.”
You, bloodless and tearless bastard, still worrying about that even after hearing about the bizarre life of Frances.
I said.
“Anyway. Please focus on magic that can be used in the room. The big magic is only used to release the spell.”
Kazar answered, “Ah, yes!” And began teaching Frances how to use magic.
‘With this, France’s magic ability has been secured, and the capture of Kazar has been completed.’
All that remains is for Frances to let her magical talents blossom and the business she is planning to succeed.
I sat quietly and watched Frances learn her magic. Looking at her, who had only had a bored expression on her face, and seeing her enjoyment while doing something of hers, I couldn’t help but smile.
[The player’s immersion increases.]
[Synchronization deepens.]
‘… Also?’
[Person – Jean Warenberg.]
[Some of the character’s memories are inherited.]
Chrill! I couldn’t help but close my eyes, and the pain was so strong. It feels like breaking a skull. I grabbed my head. At the same time, a word sounded in my ear.
「Is this a failure again?」
‘This is… ?’
Some memories of Jean Warenberg crept into me. Then, when the level of immersion is completely filled, isn’t it eaten by Jean Barenberg? I kind of hate that.
‘I’ll have to be careful.’
Still, I knew the conditions for increasing immersion. When I look at Frances and feel something, the synchronization deepens. In order to stop this, I have to leave France’s side someday. Otherwise I’ll lose myself and become Jean Warenberg.
As I grabbed my head and staggered, Frances asked in a worried voice.
“Where does it hurt… ?”
“No. It is a frequent headache.”
“Didn’t you do that at the party last time? Trying a test…….”
I shook my head.
“It’s okay. As a sword master, I know my body well.”
“So… ?”
Unlike France, who was full of worries, Kazar was surprised by the word sword master.
“Sword Master?!”
“Yes.”
“Not many in the Empire?! What is your true identity?”
From noble mtl dot com
Do I have to answer this? If you reveal that you’re a slave, you’ll have to use honorifics for him too. Well, it will be revealed someday, so let me tell you in advance.
“I am Jean Warenberg. He is the first prince of the Kingdom of Warenberg, which has now disappeared into history. Right now, I am subordinate to the princess as a slave.”
Kazar’s eyes widened. “Whoa!” He said, covering his mouth. I don’t know how many times I see that kind of reaction just today.
“No, were you a slave? Even the royalty of Warenberg?!”
“Yes. I’m sorry I lied to you.”
“Then don’t you have to use honorifics for me? I am a slave.”
Um, for some reason I don’t want to use honorifics with him.
“I only follow the princess’s orders and move only for her sake. I don’t know why it should be.”
“Wow, you were a total believer. Well, I understand. I’m not the type to worry about trivial things like that.”
Yes, thank you. I like your easy-going personality. Kazar Uplane from the game didn’t have that kind of personality. He’s a little awkward too.
At that time. Someone knocked on the door.
―Eden Descartes.
No, why does that bastard keep coming back? Frances beckoned with her round eyes. It means to hide. I took Kazar and hid in the bed. Then the door opened and Eden came in.
Kazar whispered.
“What, what? Why are you suddenly in bed… !”
I whispered, covering her mouth with my hand.
“Keep quiet for now.”
Ka-Zar nods her head as she gulps down her saliva. I slightly opened the covers and watched Eden and Frances.
“France Descartes. Have you decided on a marriage partner?”
“Not yet.”
“Isn’t it because you wanted to escape the Duke of Descartes?”
Eden nods his head and urges an answer. Frances simply dropped her head and stayed quiet.
“Now decide on a marriage partner. And get out of this Cartesian family. It will be good for you and for us. Don’t you really need to see the faces of people you don’t like?”
…… It must have been just a whim that he changed his exclusive attendant.
