[Episode 12] – Teacher replacement (2)

“I can’t understand!”

“I am not asking for your understanding. How many times have I told you that this is the decision of the Royal Household Ministry?”

With the loud voice of the Marquis of Lorenzo, she was able to regain her lost spirit. I wanted to argue with Ainsel about the issue of the first queen’s suicide, but…

Right now, the priority was given to what was in front of me.

The Marquis of Lorenzo was still in a situation where she was making a fuss with her chancellor, Vinchaud, saying that she would not understand his exclusive possession. Well, I expected that I wouldn’t be able to understand that woman’s personality right away.

Hmm.

I set the coffee cup in her hand down on her table and focused the Marquise’s gaze on me. The moment when she looked at the Marquis with Vivien’s specialty, her innocent eyes.

‘Ugh.’

I almost averted my gaze because of the marquise’s wife growling like an animal and looking at me with bloodshot eyes. Is that the expression of a person who values example?

“Mrs. Lorenzo, do you know why I said I would be in charge of education for the princess?”

“…Didn’t Her Highness like me that much? In the first place, education is not as easy as Her Highness thought…!”

It seemed that the Marquis could no longer hear me. It seemed like he was just spitting out words in order to somehow cover up the present, this situation.

I got up from the sofa and went to the Marquis. As we got closer, leaving one step behind, we heard the breath of the Marquis, who was struggling to contain her anger.

“Yes, as you said, I do not like the Marquis.”

“Ha..! Is that just why you took over as the princess’s educator? Is it because you hate me?”

If that was the only reason, I would have used another method.

I let out a small sigh at the expression of the marquise’s angry face as if she were the victim. Just looking at that face reminded me of the ‘ending’ I saw in the game, so I was annoyed.

To be honest, I thought a lot about whether I was really doing the right thing with this incident. Because the place where I am right now is not a world that flows in a script format like a game, but reality.

So, I wondered if the Marquis would be different from the game.

But…

I didn’t just come here to play and eat. He collected the rumors that had spread around the royal castle through the maids he became close with, and even confirmed the rumor that the Marquis’s wife seemed to be obsessed with the princess.

“If you hadn’t seen the princess as a substitute for her first queen, I wouldn’t have offered to be her ‘educator’.”

“…What..?”

The marquise’s bloodshot eyes widened. As if she had been stabbed to the point. Bang Shaw, who heard the sound from the side, also opened her eyes wide, wondering if the sound he heard was real.

“When the first queen married her majesty, the late king and her queen consort praised you generously. Truly, you raised a beautiful young lady who could be with His Majesty.”

The Marquise’s shoulders trembled at my story.

I continued talking while looking at the marquise.

“Rumors that you were praised by His Majesty the King quickly spread throughout the social world. Everyone would have praised you. He said he was a great ‘educator’ and would give him any amount of money so that he could educate his own children as well.”

“……No.”

“So you were recognized for your track record of raising his first queen, and you were able to remain in the castle and take on the role of assistant to the queen. With the title of ‘godmother’ to the first queen.”

“…No.”

“Isn’t it a royal life that all nobles envy? Congratulations At that time, you were truly a successful aristocrat that everyone would envy.”

When I tapped her on the shoulder, the marquise glared at me like she was really tearing me apart. She stared like that, but there was nothing she could do.

Because this story really begins now.

“But what about this?”

“Her Highness the Queen…!”

The Marquis’s wife called me as if to block the next story. I looked at the bewildered Marquis and smiled and continued the story.

“The first queen you raised is dead.”

Padudeuk-

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of the Marquis’s teeth grinding. As if she was barely holding on to my story, I could see her clenched fists tremble as well.

“… Since the death of the first queen, your position in her castle has become very dangerous. The position of the first queen’s ‘godmother’ disappeared in an instant.”

“……”

“Even rumors spread that you were involved in the death of the first queen. Notable nobles started to quibble with you, saying it might be a problem with your educational policy.”

She was surprised to hear that the first queen had committed suicide, but even in the game, the first queen was already treated as a dead person. Although in the game she died of illness, not suicide.

So I didn’t know that the first queen was dead, so I couldn’t understand why the Marquis was so obsessed with the princess. She just speculated that something might have happened to the first queen.

However, the moment I heard that the first queen died today, I could clearly see why the Marquis was obsessed with her princess.

In the end, no matter how the first queen dies, the marquis has no choice but to cling to the princess.

Just to regain his lost honor.

“Did she somehow want to regain her own prestige through her princess?”

“No..! I really am for the sake of the princess..!”

“Did you really think raising a princess like the first queen was for the sake of the princess? Wasn’t it the idea to raise the princess just like her first queen by making her follow in the footsteps of the first queen?”

“What’s wrong with that! My teaching methods are proven and nothing else! I raised the first queen with my education, so what’s wrong with that education method!”

“Because of that nonsensical teaching method, the princess is..!!”

She later took her own life.

The word

Filled my throat.

In the game, the princess is given an education equivalent to ‘brainwashing’ by her marquis. From her taste to her way of speaking, she said that all actions should be taken like the first queen.

The marquise’s ‘education’ was an act tantamount to destroying the princess’ personality. Everything like the first queen, like the first queen. That was the ‘education’ of the Marquis.

When I first saw this ending, I got goosebumps because it was disgusting.

Wouldn’t it be possible to see a happy ending this time with the high stats given by the Marquis? I was full of anticipation, but this damn game seemed to be punishment for entrusting the princess to the Marquis without any doubt.

Really without notice.

Suddenly.

I showed the illustration of the princess who was found with her neck hanging.

Before you’ve recovered from the shock of the suicide of your beloved princess, this damn game kindly begins to explain in detail why the princess committed suicide.

A marquise who lost her honor due to the death of the first queen.

An obsession to make her princess equal to her first queen in order to regain her honor.

A princess who couldn’t overcome the foolishness and ended up taking her own life.

‘A terrible b*tch.’

I thought that while looking at the marquise who was fighting back in front of me. I could not forget her honor at that time, and I felt so bad that the Marquis was trying to make her daughter the same.

“…Anyway, I have no intention of understanding your educational policy. How vicious were your rumors, would the courtiers have chosen me between you and me, who are rumored to be witches?”

“Ha…”

“Take it in stride and retire. Bangshow will take care of the severance pay.”

I picked up the ‘exclusive notice’ crumpled up on the table and held it out to the Marquis again. The Marquis’s wife blankly looked at the exclusive notice I had handed out, and suddenly giggled.

“Your Highness told me the other day..? The princess’s opinion is important.”

“…It was.”

Upon hearing my answer, the Marquis turned her head with a jerk and stomped out of her room. In the sudden situation, both I and Bang Shaw had no choice but to stare blankly at it.

I let out a small sigh and turned her head to look at Bangchoe. It seemed that Bang Show was embarrassed by this situation, just like me. Even though the Marquis doesn’t consider me royalty…

Vinchaud sighed as he looked at the wide open door her Marquise had left.

“…Your Highness, the Queen, seems very merciful today.”

“The Marquis, isn’t she as old as you? Every time she sees the face of the Marquis, she keeps thinking of you, so I’m putting up with it quite a bit.”

“Heh heh!”

Bang show at my joke hee hee! And smiled. If it was Vivian’s personality, it wouldn’t have been enough to slit the Marquis’s head right now. Because it is Vivian that she has no mercy for anyone who climbs on her.

As I was exchanging jokes with Bang Chao, I heard thumping footsteps again in the hallway. Hearing the sound, Bangsho sighed again, and I also sighed in line with the sound of Bangsho’s sigh.

I wish it would have ended with the thumping footsteps of the marquis.

Among the footsteps echoing in the hallway, the voice of a child could also be heard.

“Wait a minute..! Ah… It hurts…! Slowly..!”

The arm of her princess was held in the hand of the Marquis, who entered her open door without hesitation. For a moment, the sight of the Marquis dragging her princess along as if she were dragging her, almost suffocated her.

Neither Vinchaud nor I could say anything about the appearance of the marquis. The Marquis, who entered her room with an almost mad expression on her face, grabbed her princess by the shoulder and shouted:

“Princess..! Her Highness the Queen is trying to kick me out! Saying I can’t help you! Princess..! Just one word… Just one word. Yes? I am more helpful to you than Her Highness the Queen!”

“Ah, ugh..!”

At this absurd situation, I lowered my head and looked at the princess. There were bruises on her arms and red marks on her wrists, between the sleeves her marquise had roughly grasped up.

It was as if someone’s hand had roughly grabbed it and twisted it hard.

“Wait..! Lauren-“

When Vinchoud saw the wound on the princess’s forearm, his face became contemplative and he tried to stop the Marquise, but my movements were faster than the voice of Vinchoud.

Grabbing the shoulder of the squatting Marquis, I pushed the Marquis back and separated from the princess, then raised her hand high and slapped the Marquis on the cheek.

Jaak-!

The sound of a slap on the cheek caused silence in the room for an instant. The pain pierced her cheeks, and the hairy head of the marquise cupped her cheeks in her hands and looked up at me in disbelief.

I glared hard at the marquise, trying to ignore her tingling palm.

“Are you crazy? The Marquise?”

“This, this is…”

As soon as I slapped him, Vincent quickly took the princess away from the Marquis. I crouched down in front of the Marquis sitting on the floor and met her gaze.

“Mrs. Marquis. I hate you, but I didn’t think I should do anything to you.”

“Wow, Her Highness the Queen…”

“I thought it was just the whining of an old man and put up with it a lot. No matter how much you behave without having the ‘property’ you are proud of.”

I held the crumpled ‘exclusive notice’ in my hand and held it out in front of the Marquis again. The Marquis tried to receive it with her trembling hands.

“By the way, do I need to put up with it now?”

I tore the exclusive notice in half. As soon as the paper was torn, the Marquis’s face began to turn pale. As if foretelling your future.

You should have taken it well when the last chance was given to you.

After scattering the torn exclusive notice on the floor, I stood up and gave an order to Vinshaw. Bangshow will solve this in moderation.

“Bangshaw, I believe that you will solve it on your own without me having to tell you.”

“…Yes, Her Highness the Queen.”

Leaving behind the bowed bangshaw, I raised my wrist to the princess who was at a loss. As I looked at the red, swollen handprints, I felt sorry for some reason.

I gently stroked the princess’ hair and smiled.

“Starting today, you can come to my room during the Marquis’s class.”

“Yes…?”

“From now on, I am your teacher.”
