The Grand Duchess Is Defeated Again Today

chapter 19



The princess expects

In fact, this wasn’t the first time I’d seen Rebecca pout.

Even just thinking about the first time I met the princess right now, I didn’t notice that Rebecca was in a sensitive state, so I was pissed off and blamed myself.

Even when we just met like this, I made the princess pout.

Needless to say, how many times I’ve seen Rebecca’s pouty face over the past three years.

“…a princess?”

“Yeah… you don’t want to see it…”

However, this was the first time this happened.

Rebecca refused to meet me.

Up to now, even if the princess’s heart is broken, it has been limited to making a sad expression or ignoring my words.

I have never had any experience of being bullied like this.

‘·······How twisted.’

I couldn’t even fathom to what extent I had offended Rebecca.

“Miss Rebecca… You must be very angry, don’t you?”

As my expression grew serious, Dorothy seemed to realize the seriousness of the current situation.

Seeing him speak with such a worried voice.

“······I know.”

“Shall we prepare strawberries as usual?”

As always, Dorothy asks if she should prepare strawberries.

To us, strawberries were a kind of code, and a code that contained the meaning of the word itself.

You might ask, is this a nonsensical thing to say? It really was.

Strawberry was the word used between me and Dorothy to soothe the angry Rebecca.

The saying that we should prepare strawberries was in line with the saying that we should prepare to release the princess’s anger.

When they agreed, Dorothy would prepare strawberries, and I would bring them to Rebecca.

Then someone else could ask:

What kind of person can get rid of a heart broken by a single strawberry? What nonsense is that?

I fully understood whoever voiced the criticism. Because there were times when I thought so too.

I’ve seen enough statements about Rebecca Balencia like strawberries in [The Prince Holds the Sword].

There were even comments about whether the writer was doing an advertisement behind Strawberry with the character Rebecca.

It was enough to know how much Rebecca’s love for strawberries was in the play.

However, the Princess Valencia that I actually saw was a character faithful to the original setting.

Some of the heartaches have been resolved to some extent just by bringing strawberries.

When I look at it from the side, I wonder if Rebecca wasn’t actually a strawberry farmer in her previous life. I had a question

Anyway, Rebecca’s love for strawberries was more sincere than anyone else, and strawberries always solved the princess’s heart.

“·······Well. I don’t think strawberry can solve it this time.”

This time, I had an ominous feeling that strawberries were not likely to solve the problem.

Actually, I didn’t know why the princess was angry or why she didn’t want to see me.

My experience with Rebecca over the past three years has been telling me that strawberries alone can’t solve it.

“Well, it’s the first time that a lady has said that Confucius doesn’t want to see him…””…

A sigh came out.

I’m upset because I can’t find a reason for the princess’s behavior, but even Dorothy agrees with my opinion.

I couldn’t quite figure out what to do.

I’ve been thinking about it for a while I couldn’t come up with a good solution.

“It must have been difficult for you to come, can I bring you some ice cream?”

Dorothy said that she felt sorry for me as she struggled to comfort her little girl, so she had to eat dessert and rest for a while.

“No, that’s fine…”

Desserts like ice cream did not seem to work well in the current situation, so I tried to voice my refusal.

‘······ice cream?’

Until the simple word ice cream hit me in the head.

“······ah.”

I finally found it.

How to appease an overbearing princess.

“Dorothy, can I use the kitchen?”

“I’ll tell the chef first.”

Usually, if you are a cook or a chef from an aristocratic family, you will be flagged by the question of whether an outsider can rent a kitchen.

“Do you mean ice cream?”

“Yeah…Ice cream.”

“It’s an amazing idea.”

“Is that right? So, help me make it.”

“I’ll be happy to help. Prince Albert.”

I had satisfied the chef of the Duke of Valencia with ‘strawberry cake’ in the past, so I was able to rent the kitchen of the Duke of Valencia without any problems.

With the help of the chef, she was able to create a dessert that would appease Rebecca.

and. Now it was time to go into practice.

***

Rebecca has been in a very bad mood lately.

There was no particular reason. It didn’t really change my usual life.

The only difference is that her fiance, who visited at least once every three days, hadn’t come for over a week.

Since she couldn’t feel bad for just that reason, it was right to assume that there was no particular reason for her to feel bad.

For some unknown reason, she was not in a good mood.

Today I feel much worse than usual.

Because earlier, her maid, Dorothy, had reported that her fiancée, Albert, had come to visit.

The news that Albert came to her after a week and a day made her feel bad.

So I told Dorothy to tell her to send her back because she doesn’t want to see the pasture.

As a result, Rebecca was a little regretful.

“······· Did you mean to just tell me to come?”

Because the daily routine that is always repeated was very boring.

Preparation for the upcoming debut Tangte and education as the next Duke of Valencia, which he has always done.

Her daily routine, repeated without any other exciting activities, made her feel bored every time.

It was her fiance who relieved the boredom, and since Albert did not come, she naturally felt boredom.

Rebecca could never admit that fact, even if she died.

The next Duke of Valencia, she feels bored in her daily life because her fiance doesn’t come.

A fiance who always makes fun of her.

It was nonsense.

Rebecca herself knew best whether it made sense or not.

The proud princess never admitted that fact.

It was Rebecca, who had already finished the work she had to do today and was lying in bed without thinking.

smart-

“······Who is it?”

“It’s Dorothy, my lady.”

“What’s going on?”

“I brought ice cream in case the lady is hot.”

It was only March, so Rebecca didn’t feel anything hot, but when she heard the story of ice cream, she wanted to eat it.

“······come in.”

quiver-

It was Rebecca, who was lying with her back to the door, so I couldn’t confirm exactly. When I heard the door open, I think Dorothy had entered the room with her permission.

Since you can’t eat ice cream lying down, the princess also got up from her bed and checked the face of the person who came in.

“…why are you here…”

“Long time no see. Princess.”

Surprisingly (?) it was not her maid Dorothy who entered the room, but her fiancée, Albert.

full-

As soon as she met her fiancée’s face, she lay back on her back.

I don’t know why she was angry, but because she was still angry with her fiancé.

“·······Let’s go.”

“I’ll just give you this and let’s go.”

But even when she told her to get out of the room, Albert did not go out immediately.

“······What is that?”

Because she was curious about what her fiance had brought with her after a week and a day.

He turned back and looked at Albert.

“As Dorothy said earlier, it’s ice cream.”

What her fiance brought was indeed ice cream.

“…why are the colors like this?”

It was just that the color of the ice cream was different from the color of the ice cream she had ever eaten.

“Strawberry ice cream.”

“… Strawberry ice cream?”

Even her fiance called it ‘strawberry’ ice cream.

But Rebecca, who was born as the only daughter of the duke and ate a lot of ice cream.

It was my first time seeing ice cream made with strawberries.

Who the hell could think of putting fruit in ice cream?

And Rebecca’s doubts were cleared up after hearing Albert’s words.

“Do you remember the strawberry cake I made a while ago?”

“······ah.”

“It’s a principle similar to that.”

She also remembered.

It was the first time she had a crush on her fiancé, and the first and last day her fiancé made something herself.

After that, I asked Albert several times to make something similar.

– If you eat too much, it is not good for your body.

Her fiance had not made her health an excuse.

“······ This time directly…?”

“I got a little help, but this time I made it myself.”

Besides, this time, it was her fiance who said that he made it himself.

Rebecca, who remembers how delicious the strawberry cake was, couldn’t stand the strawberry ice cream in front of her.

The moment I put my hand on the spoon.

percussion-

Her fiance clapped her hand.

“······What is it.”

Of course, she asked, as if she was doing this.

“Do you remember how you ate strawberry cake?”

“Of course I remember. You fed me….”

“Yes that’s right.”

“····.”

It was only after hearing Albert’s clever reply that I realized what this man wanted.

“I’ll feed you this time.”

At Albert’s words that he would feed her directly in the same way.

She nodded her head slightly.

“Is that so?”

It felt like her heart was pounding again.

The pounding was because she was looking forward to the strawberry ice cream she was about to try, not what her fiancée was expecting to feed her.

At least Rebecca thought so.
