Chirp-chirp, a little bird call from outside announces the morning. The light shining through the window was shining brightly, and I usually thought that today was going to be another good day.

「I wonder why it stopped raining…」

It was raining until last night, but where did the rain clouds go?

Haah, I sigh deeply.

Today is my first day off in a long time. And it was all day long.

I plan to show up at my parents’ house in the afternoon, but some things in the morning seem to be work and not work.

I’m going to buy some gifts for the Queen to take to the orphanage for comfort. If that were all, I wouldn’t feel so down.

There is only one reason. My companion, Ryniel-sama.

Please don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I don’t like Ryniel-sama. The question is why Ryniel-sama?

The true feelings I spilled at their Majesties’ tea time the other day reached the ears of everyone present. How hell-eared are those people, even though it was a mumbled voice?

Well, they gave me a subtle look, didn’t they? There was an indescribable atmosphere. It was incredibly unbearable, wasn’t it? There was no way I could go on a date with my fiancée, even if only temporarily, I don’t want to say that I wish he had known, I wanted him to leave me alone. Well, thanks to that, the only thing that saved me was that there were no orders as I had expected. But Myra-sama said.

「Marsha, I think you need a little rehabilitation. You need to remember that you are a woman before you can fall in love or get married.」

It was only when she told me this that I realized that I hadn’t experienced being treated as a woman at all for the past 10 years. The last time I was treated as a woman was at that night party when I was 15 years old.

Then, Myra-sama asked Ryniel-sama to do it for her.

「Would you be willing to escort Marsha on her upcoming vacation? Of course, now that he still have a fiancée, it’s in the name of being her page for external purposes.」

I objected. I said that it wasn’t alright for the lady-in-waiting and the captain of the Kingsguard to leave the queen’s side at the same time. But she brushed me off. She said that since we would be with His Majesty for that time, it wouldn’t be a problem if we left for a few hours or so. His Majesty and Douglas-sama nodded, and Ryniel-sama gave his approval, so I couldn’t say anything more.

I am already feeling sorry for Ryniel-sama and I can’t help but feel sorry for him. What can I say now, should I get down on my knees for making such an old man take care of me? I even think about it. I am so sorry that I feel like crying, even though it would be a nuisance if I did.

Another huge sigh escapes me.

Knock–knock.

「Good morning, it’s Marie.」

「Marie?」

I hurriedly opened the door to see what was wrong with Marie’s sudden visit, who had to go to Myra-sama in time.

「What’s wrong? Is something wrong with Myra-sama?」

「No, wrong～」

Smiling, Marie came into the room with a「Excuse me!」and placed a box in front of the mirror.

「Okay, Marsha-san. Please have a seat here.」

「Eh, what is?」

There is no need to sit at the mirror again because I was already prepared.

「You know what I’m talking about. You’re wasting your time, so please sit down quickly. I’ll fix your makeup.」

「…Did Myra-sama…?」

「That’s right. You’re going to be dressed in an irreplaceable outfit, so I’ve been ordered to make you a little prettier.」

Hmmm, what a waste of instruction.

「Don’t look at me like that. Myra-sama is just genuinely supporting you, Marsha-san.」

「…I knew that.」

I can’t help it, because even though I know it, I’m still bothered.

I sit down in front of the mirror and look at the makeup tools that Marie has brought with her. All of them are of the highest quality, all of them endorsed by Myra-sama. I guess she is aware that she is forcing me to do something I am unwilling to do. I can feel Myra-sama’s apology.

「Ah, maybe you’re wondering what happened the other day.」

I was pointed at the figurehead and clammed up.

「Well, no matter how she did it, you know that she was just trying to stop His Majesty from running amok, doesn’t she, Marsha-san?」

Yes, I understand. I don’t know what I would have said to His Majesty if he had just packed me off like that. I was so cornered that I was about to say something absurd like,「Shouldn’t I be a grandmother instead of a nanny?」But the one that wants me to find a compatible partner is also Myra-sama’s true intention.

「Really, you’re going to be a clunker about this, Marsha-san.」

「…I’m not very good at it.」

「It’s not that you’re not good at it, it’s just that you’re inexperienced. You’re just paying the price for running away from it all this time.」 𝘣𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙．𝘤𝘰𝘮

There are no words to reply to Marie’s scathing remarks as she deftly fixes my makeup.

「You’re not being asked to do anything with Ryniel-sama, so just be honest and have fun. Marsha-san, if you think about it in your head, you’ll end up going in the opposite direction, so let’s keep it simple.」

I nodded reluctantly, reminding me that I understood.

「You are quite a tricky master… okay, it’s done.」

Marie let out an impish sigh and applied makeup that added just a little bit of glamour to my base without destroying it.

「…Thank you.」

「You’re welcome.」

I smile at Marie, who is smiling at me.

Simple and honest.

If I said that was difficult, this disciple would get angry with me.
