One Day I Became a Burikko Villainess Noble Girl, . Honto tutorial .
Think of it as throwing money at the author and Alphapolis, and getting a book with squiggles and pretty pictures as a pleasant extra.
You might be thinking, Well, do I owe any thanks to Alphapolis the publisher?, but in fact it is because the publishers are so willing to pick up web novels (Alphapolis in particular) that so many creative stories are being written by people wanting to make it as writers.
Mn, mn So shes coming?
After receiving a message from Henri, I sank down into a luxurious chair in my room. Everything in this room was chosen by me, as was the interior decoration of my dorm room at the academy. If I dont arrange the things around me myself, I just cant calm down. There have been traps in furniture countless times after all.
The she I mentioned, of course refers to Beatrix. It was a bother making all the preparations and arrangements to take Beatrix as my wife, but with this its a certainty that I can have her nearby now
Shes probably angry, huhh.
Theres no way that a straightforward and honest person like her wouldnt be dissatisfied with the methods I took. I honestly wanted to spend more time deepening my relationship with her. Just like Achille and Camille No, that really might have taken too long. But I dont have much time left, so it cant be helped. Its the answer that Ive reached after much thought. And I dont regret this. Its a decision Ive made to ensure that the things important to me remain by my side. I know. I know how easily the things important to you can disappear if you dont take extra care to protect them.
I wonder if Achille and Camille are okay.
Im quite worried about the safety of my two dear friends. Theyre moving together with the soldiers sent to the town to suppress and drive out the extremists. According to the notice from this morning, the extremists are planning on heading to Viscount Jades territory from the territory theyve controlled.
I actually wanted to go with them too
Its impossible given my position though. Sometimes I really loathe this position of mine, but nothing can be done about it. Being the case, I feel that its better to make effective use of this shitty position and do something constructive.
Topageria have probably taken care of the thing I requested of them. With this, the movements of the extremists should be restricted to an extent. The king of the neighbouring nation didnt seem to particularly object. In exchange, Im taking the knight of the second prince (who had issues finding a husband) as my queen after all. The neighbouring nation seem to feel guilty about the Frau Monier incident too. Who would have thought that one of the key members of the extremists was a Topagerian, even if adopted. A reply from the Topagerian king came, saying that he had received my complaint and was moving to impede their activities.
It isnt just limited to outside the country. From now on theres a mountain of things I need to do internally. I get it. I get that Ill eventually have to pay for something as selfish as wanting to enjoy school life a little, despite knowing about the conflicts within the castle.
It seems that our nation will need a large cleanup pretty soon, huh? It seems that all the filth in the castle has been just about gathered up after all.
Indeed, Your Highness.
Henri smiled. Hes the grand chamberlain thats followed me since I was a child, and stays by my side even now. Henri is like a parent figure, someone else important to me.
Well then, let us move forward the preparations for the clean-up, Your Highness.
Mn.
The proof that Achille spent many years researching to pull out the problem of these geezers For some reason Achille is really good at finding these things, and I was taught by him too. All thats left is to clean up the castle from the roots.
Sorry to my father and uncle but if they covered up this much fraud commited by their subordinates, then they probably cant be covered for anymore.
And, one day Ill be having them leave the castle as well. Honestly I want to drive them out right this minute, but as youd expect, thats impossible at this stage.
-knock knock-
Somebodys knocking at the door. I wonder who it is. Right now is my precious rest time, so I even told them not to let anybody in.
Just who is it?
Henri headed towards the door and then returned with a bewildered expression.
Y-, Your Highness
Without even even time to ask him what was wrong, the door to my room was violently opened.
Seriously Does not a single one of your subordinates know how to guide people properly?
Eh-?
Royce, we need to talk.
Shaking off the chamberlains who tried to stop him as he boldly made his entrance was a person surprising enough that I couldnt immediately complain due to the shock.
Raiga What are you doing here?
