「Buhahahahah, so that’s how you ended up taking on the role of Goodwill Ambassador. That’s a tough situation, gahahahah!」
「You’re laughing too much.」
I threw a cushion at Gaspar, who was laughing hysterically in front of me. Gaspar caught it without any difficulty, and I couldn’t help but click my tongue.
「I didn’t know Marsha had a tongue lashing too.」
「…Ah.」
Oh dear, oh dear. I had visited Anemone Jewelry in order to fulfill a long overdue appointment with Ryniel-sama, but I had inadvertently made a mistake. It would have been a terrible blunder to be so careless as to click my own tongue in front of Ryniel-sama.
「Ah, you often speak in tongues, Missy. You never did that to your brother?」
「You do that to me a lot. Right, buddy?」
「Agreed, buddy.」
Gaspar says something unnecessary. And Douglas-sama, who is there for some reason.
「…Shall Gaspar and Douglas-sama both shut up for a moment?」
When I glare at them, they begin to make fun of me, saying, “Ohh, I’m so scared.” Why do these guys, who call each other “buddy”, get along so well with each other when they are, as I recall, a great aristocrat and a commoner? I wonder if it is a case of “like brings like”. I let out a deep sigh.
「I hope you don’t feel so depressed. It’s a very honorable role for you.」
「I know that. But…」
Still, my spirits are heavy.
「I could have just said to His Majesty with a straight face,『I can’t do it.』」
That’s right.
When I went to the Oval Office on the day I encountered Raul, I had once turned down the offer of the special goodwill ambassador position that His Majesty had given me. My term as the goodwill ambassador will be about three months. In other words, I would be away from Myra-sama during that time. As the Head Lady-in-waiting to the Queen, I was ready to refuse.
「Ahh, Myra-sama got it all figured out!」
「Well, it was a bit of a stretch to say no in that situation.」
「I guess that’s part of her upbringing, right?」
The three of them are implicitly telling me to「give up.」
I know that. I know that it is useless to dwell on it now. And as Gaspar says, it was me who taught Myra-sama how to put the other party in a situation where they could not refuse her. This is the ultimate in self-inflicted guilt.
「Mumumuh…!」
But I buried my face in the cushions, unable to clear my mind. I know that this is a figure of me that I would never expose in the royal palace. But Douglas-sama and Gaspar are used to seeing me like this, and as far as Ryniel-sana is concerned, he saw my tongue lashing out at him, so there is no use in trying to mend it now… I am just making excuses to myself, but the truth is that I don’t have the energy to mend it. It’s just for now, so please let the rudeness slide.
I can’t hear the giggle of Ryniel-sama’s laugh!
「Ah—! Who is abusing Marsha-san!?」
As I was escaping from reality, my lovely knight Liam-kun came out with a knock on the door. His cheeks puffed out as he held a tray with tea on it dangerously close. Behind him, Neil was supporting him to open the door.
Liam-kun, who visited the Anemone Jewelry store with Douglas-sama, came back from helping Neil make tea.
「No one is doing that.」
「That’s right, Liam. And this person doesn’t have the cute personality to be bullied by us, buhyah!!」
Oops, sorry. I heard some strange speech, and the cushion I had with me ended up flying right into the face of Douglas-sama.
「Ugh, Father. That’s so bad!」
Liam-kun’s pouting mouth instantly thawed out my frayed nerves. He is too cute.
「Are you alright, Marsha-san?」
My heart was still beating for Liam-kun, who peeked at me anxiously.
「Nhn, I’m not feeling good. Can you comfort me?」
When I extended my hand saying so, Liam-kun, who had placed his tray on the table, jumped into my chest and said,「Of course.」Ah, such a bliss!
「Please rest assured that I will punish those who mistreat Marsha-san!」
And he squeezes me as hard as he can, ugh, he’s very, very lovely.
「No, I’m the one who was abused, aren’t I?」
I can’t hear what Douglas-sama was muttering. I think it’s Douglas-sama’s fault for saying unnecessary things.
「I’m glad to see you’re in a better mood now.」
「I guess it takes a sacrifice to put a woman in a good mood, don’t mind it, buddy.」
As they sipped the tea Liam-kun had brought, Douglas-sama’s shoulders slumped.
「But that one. It’s unusual for Miss to be dragged down like this. Normally she switches more quickly, so what’s bothering her so much?」
I was enjoying Liam-kun when Neil pointed out that I looked up just a little bit. I’m sure it’s just my imagination that everyone’s eyes are warm when they look at me… Don’t you dare think that I just want to think that, I’m just trying to be nice.
「It’s true, though, that you are quick to make up your mind, aren’t you?」
「…You’re buying it. If only I didn’t have a body like this…!」
For the most part, this is a matter that His Majesty has turned down once.
So why did Myra-sama go to such lengths to make me an exceptional goodwill ambassador?
I am simply happy that Myra-sama trusts me. But it didn’t have to be me, that’s clear from the fact that it was not an imperial order from Her Majesty, but a proposal. A direct request from the Queen of Quanda? I didn’t hear that. And yet, when I asked Myra-sama about it, she remained silent and gave me her consent without telling me whether or not to do so. Even though she understood my situation.
「Mumuh, Marsha-san. Are you in need of some help?」
Liam-kun’s concern for me soothes me, but my eyebrows inevitably droop.
「Is there anything I can help you with? You can tell me anything. I’m on your side, Marsha-san.」
「Well, I’ll be happy to!」
.
Hey, did you hear that? He said he’s willing to help me with anything because I’m in trouble. Liam-kun is on my side, he is absolutely invincible!
「Then will you go with me to Quanda Country?」
If this can be achieved, then a large part of the melancholy will be eliminated.
「「「「No, that is impossible.」」」」
Isn’t that right!? And cried in my heart at the splendid synchronization of the four men, except for Liam-kun.
