The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

When Jake said he failed, he took my hands with a sad expression.

I shook my head.

“No, Jake. I’m glad that you decided to give me a surprise present. And I’m also happy that I got to see you again today.”

“Really…?”

“Mhm. Ah, just in case. If you bought a dessert because you wanted to give it to me, why don’t you bring it to the kindergarten tomorrow? I think it’ll be okay if you share it with other friends and eat it together.”

I already knew.

Both Jake and his family did not really enjoy sweet things.

All the desserts in that servant’s hands could be thrown away. That would be such a waste.

“Ah, I could do that! You’re smart as expected.”

Jake, who was making a sad face, clapped his hands together right away and complimented me.

I proudly smiled, told Jake that I’ll see him again at the kindergarten tomorrow, and sent him off.

Though Jake seemed reluctant to leave, when his servant nagged ‘Sir Duke told you to come back quick.’, he turned around and left.

After parting with Jake, I selected and wrapped one of each type of all the various desserts in the shop. I think I may have been the customer who bought the most since the opening day.

‘Mmm, I do want to take it to the kindergarten and share it. But Jake said he was going to bring them, so I probably shouldn’t.’

As a result, these all became mine. Yay, I’ll save them!

When I came back to the mansion and deposited all the desserts in a cool food storage warehouse, one of Marquis’ patissiers spoke with a sad voice.

“My lady, I have felt that my skills are still lacking. I’ll try my hardest to become a better patissier until my lady doesn’t feel the need to buy desserts from shops outside of the house of Marquis…!”

No, you don’t have to do that.

He was definitely misunderstanding the situation.

Actually, the bread made by our patissier was the best.

‘I just go to shops outside because I want a different taste sometimes.’

Anyways, the people in our mansion were a problem because they reacted too much with just one word from me.

‘Sigh.’

In case they sulk, I’ll have to give them a compliment every time I eat bread made by our patissier for a week. Then, they’ll be happy again.

…

That night, I couldn’t fall asleep easily.

Even though it had only been one day since I started going to the kindergarten, that one day was very eventful.

Even though I had to fall asleep quickly in order to go to kindergarten early tomorrow, my mind was wide awake.

‘Will I be able to become friends with all of them?’

I already knew there was a limit to how friendly you could get by giving something to eat.

Even though they were just 6, 7 years old, their pride should not be taken lightly. It was something I learned after reincarnating. I would pay dearly if I approached them thinking it was a piece of cake.

‘Why is it so hard to make friends, whew…’

And I had been thinking that it was hard to target multiple people at once.

So I would be better if I became friends with them one by one.

Who should I become friends with first?

That moment, the first thing that came up in my mind was Princess Ninaina’s face.

According to the teacher’s explanation, it was a simple instruction to draw the face of the person whose name was written on the small paper. This was a simple warm-up exercise before entering the class. There was a simple instruction to draw the face of the person whose name was written on the small paper.

‘Who will I pick?’

Somehow, I was chosen to pick the first one, so I excitedly opened the note in my hand.

“Huh?”

I don’t know if it was coincidence or fate, but the name on my note was Princess Ninaina.

No, there is no doubt that this is fate. I picked you as my first friend last night, and today, I got a chance today to get closer to her!

‘Okay, I’ll draw a beautiful portrait to capture Ninaina’s heart.’
