The fake princess hides her scheme

Episode 2

The content in parentheses is not our part, so let’s skip it for now.

The request date was only four days later, and the request period was a month.

But the reason I didn’t immediately look at that enormous number was because of the enormous fraud setting right in front of me.

Princess of Bristol!

When you say Bristol, you mean that wealthy island nation to the south of the empire, right?

Uh, we, no, Raphael can’t play the princess, so this commission was mine unless she was reborn.

So now you want me to become the Princess of Bristol and attend the royal banquet?

So you’re saying I’ll give Milligent back?

Despite my deeply engraved commoner self being shocked by the absurd fraud setup, the request shamelessly moved forward toward the next adversity.

Wow, the Crown Princess’ Palace… … .

How do you get in there!

I couldn’t close my mouth and continued reading the request form.

Raphael and I looked at each other in shock.

In other words, the client was making this crazy demand and would not even tell me about the third item in advance.

Looking at that, the third demand must be even crazier!

How do you accept this?

What if later on, the interest group demands the assassination of the crown prince?

Oh, no. I guess my head is going crazy because of that crazy request.

Even if the client is a lunatic, how dare he harm our Morning Star, the dream and hope of the empire?

What crime has been committed by that kind and beautiful person!

When I came to my senses and read the next line, I saw why I could never refuse this request.

ha…….

What kind of gangster-like trick is this?

Our Milligents are honest citizens of the Empire, although they may be a bit strong-willed.

Why should an innocent person like him be collateral for a request like this?!

But if you think about it a little more, this situation wasn’t just Milligent’s problem.

Since an unknown client came all the way to this rural area to see us, there was a high probability that he knew my identity.

In fact, I am an unlicensed wizard not registered with the Magic Tower, so my very existence is illegal.

But instead of making the classic threat of reporting the case to the police, the client took Milligent and arrested her.

wait for a sec.

Wouldn’t it take at least a squad of the Imperial Army to kidnap Bayswater’s best firefighting player, Milligent, without a trace?

Besides, even though Raphael tried to kill him for ten days, he couldn’t find a single hair on his head.

Does that make sense? Is there anything in this world that Raphael can’t find?

I read the request over and over again, but not a single word of its absurd content changed.

But there was no time to worry.

The hot-tempered Milligent obediently wrote down this absurd request as ordered. Just thinking about it made me gasp as I imagined the dangerous situation Milligent was in.

Poor Milligent.

I signed the request form in a daze without Raphael even being able to stop me, and soon the letters on the form floated into the air and transformed into a glowing magical document.

The letters disappeared and the remaining paper caught fire and soon burned without a trace, and at the same time, the evidence to report this illegal request to the imperial family disappeared.

After that, the assistant the client had mentioned came as if he had been waiting, and after just three days of preparation, we have reached this point.

***

As we entered the banquet hall escorted by the crown prince, many eyes filled with curiosity and jealousy were directed at the new face.

There’s no need for everyone to be so cautious.

Actually, I am not a princess, and I don’t want to be a crown princess.

You just have to go into the crown prince’s bedroom and sneak something in?

… … I wish I could shout it out like this, but life is always more complicated than we expect.

The more you come from a poor family, the more this is true.

At that moment, Crown Prince Calrissian said a brief farewell with an appropriate greeting.

“Well then, I hope you enjoy your days in Justini. I look forward to seeing you again soon.”

So what awaits me now is a jungle full of crocodiles in tuxedos and dresses?

After the crown prince turned around, I quickly tried to disappear from the center of the banquet hall, as if I was afraid of stepping on a crocodile’s tail.

But then someone with useless courage suddenly approached me.

“Hello, Princess of Bristol.”

Oh, you are the beautiful daughter of the Imperial Prime Minister?

It was worth staying up all night for the past three days and memorizing the list of nobles with their portraits.

I recognized her immediately, but I tilted my head to the side as if I didn’t know her.

She, who was known as a socialite, was indeed tolerant of my foolish behavior.

“My name is Vivian Hillis from Justinian.”

“ah……!”

I smiled brightly, pretending to be very happy.

Anyway, in order to save Milligent, I have to attend this banquet for a whole month as the client wishes.

The purpose of the banquet from the beginning was to choose a crown princess, and if everyone’s goal is the same, it would look much more suspicious if I were to pretend not to.

Besides, if it were a moderate and easy way for a vassal princess to enter the bedroom of a playboy crown prince, it would have to be that way.

That’s true, but… … .

I replayed the ill-fated request in my head.

Attend for one month.

So, all I have to do is just attend?

It’s not like you’re here to make friends or be an example to others.

Naturally, as an orphan, let alone a princess, I had no chance of dealing with these fearsome ladies of high society.

Rather than pretending to be a princess and then having your identity discovered and not being able to serve for even a month, isn’t it safer to build a solid, high wall from the beginning?

So I pulled out the foreign-style greeting I had been thinking about the whole time I was coming.

“Meet the Prime Minister’s pup! Nice to meet you, I’m April.”

***

Fortunately, Bristol was a small country with enormous wealth, and the princess of this country was said to be a truly noble guest in the empire.

So, you won’t be bullied for a single slip of the tongue, and if you do get into trouble, the crown prince might come to your aid.

An awkward silence flowed, just as I had expected.

Looking at Vivian Hillis’s flushed face, I felt a thrill as if I was the first woman to make that angel flustered.

I was quite satisfied that my goal had been achieved as everyone slowly turned their gaze away from me, when someone burst into laughter behind me.

“You speak the Imperial language poorly, Your Majesty?”

Oh, are you going to attack me directly?

I quickly turned to where the crown prince was.

I had hoped that he would help me if I teased him pitifully, but lo and behold, the crown prince, who was the main character, had left the room and was nowhere to be seen.

I had no choice but to turn around to see the owner of the voice, and a girl with pink hair who was unexpectedly young was smiling brightly.

Oh, that kid… … .

After a brief pause, she bowed down before me with a bright face that showed not a trace of ridicule, and introduced herself.

“Nice to meet you, Your Majesty. My name is Nina, the Green Duke’s daughter!”

What?

Then he winked at me and whispered:

“Actually, in the imperial language, it is called a princess.”

“Ah, Princess… … .”

Lady Nina Green.

According to the preview, she was the youngest of them all, and was an unmarried lady from the best family.

So I was set to be nineteen years old, just like her.

No, but what should we do with this open-minded young lady?
