39. Married Woman
France stood in front of Eden’s office. He took a deep breath and exhaled.
“Whoa.”
When I took a deep breath, my heart, which had been pounding like it was about to explode, calmed down.
‘Good.’
As if she had made up her mind about something, she knocked on her door with a grim look.
“Duke So. This is Frances.”
Jumping. Without answering her, she opened the door. Eden is in charge of the various duties of the duchy. He glanced at Frances, but said nothing.
“I came to tell you that I have decided on a marriage partner.”
Hearing France’s words, Eden then raised his head and looked at Frances.
“Where are you from?”
“I am the Marquis of Pryden.”
“… The Marquis of Pryden.”
Tak. Eden put the fountain pen in his hand and moved to the sofa.
“Sit down.”
“Yes.”
In France’s 20 years of life, the two met face to face for the first time. Even so, there was no emotion shown on each other’s faces.
“Why did you choose the Marquis of Pryden?”
“I thought it would help the family.”
At the mention of the family line, Eden’s eyebrows twitched.
“… The nobles on the list are only families that do not diminish Descartes’ prestige, not those who are helpful to our family.”
It was true. It is true that the Marquis of Pryden is a well-managed and wealthy place. A family with a not bad reputation and strong power among the nobility. Nevertheless, compared to the name of Duke Descartes, the first-class contributor to the empire, it was infinitely insufficient.
Eden continued, tapping his fingers on the armrests of the sofa.
“Remember, Frances. No one expects or wants anything from you in this Cartesian duchy. All you have to do is get out of this duchy.”
I can’t believe what I said to my family. If it had been France in her childhood, she would have been hurt, but she was used to it now, so there was no change in her feelings.
“Okay.”
“Then let’s arrange a meeting right away.”
“What is the date?”
“It won’t take long. A week at most.”
The meeting was concluded through Eden’s decision. There is no turning back now. France was driven into anxiety by worrying about whether Jin’s plan would really go well.
Eden checks the list on the long table. She opened her eyes shallowly, glanced at her for a moment, then opened her mouth.
“It would be better to call it Duchy. I’ll take care of the progress of the work, so wait. You can just leave.”
France stood up cautiously.
“Then let’s go.”
Eden didn’t even nod and paid no attention to Frances. Just quietly looking at the list.
“… ….”
I left the office quietly like that.
Frances belatedly began to worry about her. It was Jin’s plan, so I believed and accepted it as usual, but…….
‘If this goes wrong, things could get really bad.’
At the meeting under the leadership of Eden, he swears viciously and when it doesn’t work, he insults him by slapping him on the cheek.
On reflection, I realized that this was an extremely reckless plan. If what Frances did goes to Eden’s ears, it won’t just end.
‘The work has already been done… ….’
France’s face became complex. Still, it would be better to meet Jin and discuss it. He must have another solution.
* * *
I sat quietly at the table and waited for Frances. How are you trying to communicate well with Eden?
At that time. The door opened and Frances entered. A quick pace with some power. His face was full of anxiety.
“What happened?”
“Jin. I’ve been thinking about it, but I think we need to revise our plans.”
“Did something happen?”
Frances sat down in her seat, facing me, and took a deep breath.
“Is there a plan we made? I think it’s very reckless. It’s an engagement conducted by Duke So, and if it ends like that, what will happen later is a problem.”
Um.
This is the theory. Frances herself said that she would do it herself, so it is a marriage that Eden personally proceeded with. But the process and the result go into his ears? This is what Frances would think was an insult to herself.
We must also consider the resistance of the Marquis of Pryden. It was said that it was an insult to Priden that the princess appeared like that even though the marriage was initiated by the Duke of Descartes.
Well, this is the worst situation ever. There are ways to think ahead.
After worrying, I spoke to Frances.
“There is a method that was prepared with that in mind.”
“What is it?”
“Leave the reason to the other person.”
Frances tilted his head, narrowing her eyebrows.
“Leave the reason to the other person?”
“Yes. It is to make it a fair fight where we insult each other.”
Frances pursed her lips and banged her fingers on his table. He seemed troubled. Are you running the simulation again?
“… No matter how much I think about it, I can’t find an answer. How am I going to get the other person to insult me?”
“It is to gently scratch the opponent’s weakness. Oh, by the way, if you do it too blatantly, the reason goes over here, so you have to be careful.”
Frances continued to tilt his head as if he did not understand. I’m running the simulation again.
“Asil Priden’s inferiority complex is powerless. He can’t beat a single soldier. Even though he is good at domestic affairs necessary for managing the marquis territory, Priden is definitely a knight family.”
Frances stroked his chin.
“… So you’re telling me to scrape it gently with that sword skill?”
I affirmed with a faint smile.
“Yes. Let me give you an example. First of all, as a conversation starter, I would like to say that the princess’ preference is a man who is good at using a sword.”
Frances nodded and began to listen to me.
“This is where Asil Priden gets his first stimulation.”
Francese looked at me with her eyes shallow.
“… I’m sorry to get off track, but where did you get that information from? Other nobles might not know, but I don’t think it’s information you would know.”
…… You ask a sharp question. Shall we make up a little bit here?
“I saw him in the past when an exchange was held between the Barenberg Kingdom and the Fedelian Empire. As royalty, he got the characteristics and information of the contestants.”
Is this enough? Why do you think you came to this world and spread lies?
“Well, since you were the first prince of the kingdom, it must be so.”
Fortunately, it went well.
“Anyway. Coming back to the plan, let’s just lead the conversation around swords. Then, in the process, Asil Priden’s planting will continue to be uncomfortable.”
France was lost in thought. She seemed to be imagining the situation at that time. I looked at her and said what she said.
“At this point, I’m bringing up my story. There is an escort knight, and he says he uses a sword very well. He wants to see a picture of him sword to sword once.”
Frances, who was listening to my story, opened her mouth as if she realized something.
“I have an idea. Asil Pryden does not want to appear ugly here, so she will avoid confrontation with you. So, isn’t that an excuse to scratch again?”
I smiled and nodded. Frances was at her word.
“There, now I know the people of Pryden as a knight family, but he’s saying if he’s not confident in his sword skills.”
Yeah, that’s it! Unknowingly, I put on a bright expression.
“If that happens, Priden, as you know, will eventually explode, and the conversation will intensify. This is where it matters.”
That’s right. If you succeed in detonating Asil Pryden, it’s important to turn it into a fight here. I said.
“I’m talking about the crucial thing here. Everyone in the Fryden family is known to be good at using swords, but Fryden’s Youngsik doesn’t seem to be able to use a sword. I’m sorry.”
Francesca nodded her head, indeed.
“That would really explode.”
“That’s right. Asil Priden hates being pityed the most.”
“In short, you’re just going to pick out the actions you don’t like, right?”
“That’s right.”
Touches Asyl Freiden’s self-esteem and compares him to his siblings. And he shows cheap sympathy. This is his personality, he will fight unconditionally.
“Now I’m going to throw out the vitriol I practiced here. Then the engagement will be canceled because they are not compatible, and Prince Eden will inevitably accept them. The other person refused, so what?”

The spread of France’s notoriety will also go smoothly. Asil Fryden has wide feet in the social world, so she must go around saying all sorts of gossip about Frances.
“Yes. The plan must have been revised, the water has already been spilled, so we have no choice but to try something.”
“Yes. If you have a clear purpose, you have to experience running into obstacles. You have to learn how to deal with it.”
Increases France’s various abilities. She would later give her her independence so she could be independent in case I was gone. Said Frances.
“Since you are there, I don’t have to worry too much. Will you stay by my side for the rest of your life?”
I just gave a faint smile and didn’t answer. Giving a definite answer here would only be deceiving Frances.
In the end, one day I have to leave France’s side. Whenever I feel something about her while I am with her, I become more motivated. As a result, Jean Barenberg’s personality will start to eat you.
In the end, Gong-ryak Kim, my existence will disappear from this world.
…… Because fear is fear.
“Whoa. It’s nice to get rid of your worries. My anxiety is completely gone.”
“Thank God.”
“It’s all thanks to you. Because everything is starting to work out.”
France smiles without knowing how I feel. Would you be sad if I disappeared? Will you despair
Maybe both. Because I have already become a big axis in her life.
Still, I hope you don’t feel too sad and don’t despair. I hope that my vacancy will be filled soon.
That moment.

[Some of his memories and personality are inherited.]
‘Oh my God.’
I guess I’ll get a headache again.
Chrill! Pain like being split in the head with an awl. I pressed my hand through my entire bangs. And a voice heard.
「How many times has this been? I can’t count now. Turn it back.”
Not my own, but the real Jean Warenberg’s voice.
‘Ha, it’s been a while since you said you were careful…….’
It’s clear that Jin’s personality has come in, seeing as he feels calmer and calmer than usual.
Franze asked as I continued to grab my hair and frown. Her voice was full of concern.
“Do you have a headache again? Is there really something wrong?”
“It’s not a big deal. It’s been like this often since before.”
“Isn’t it really okay?”
Frances looked at me with her concerned eyes.
“It’s okay. It is a frequent headache.”
“You don’t have to worry about it, right?”
“Yes. It’s just like coughing.”
She smiled at her to reassure her. Then, as if her worries were gone, Frances let out a sigh of relief.
“Don’t get sick.”
At that time.
-Princess. Helena, may I come in?
“Come in.”
The door opened and Helena entered.
“What’s up?”
“The Duke is calling.”
…… The duke who has never visited Frances so far calls him himself?
