CH 125

Sasha stood up quickly.

“Miss, may I have a moment of your time?”

“Yes……. Sure.”

Diana was about to make a big speech to get Sasha involved, but Sasha’s behavior threw her off the track.

With Diana looking up at her with a blank expression on her face, Sasha went into her room and came out immediately.

When she came back to the sofa, she put away her cup and placed two books on the low table.

One book is about a former vizier’s travels to rehabilitate the world and another book is about a tyrannical king.

Il Valeno and Diana glanced at the covers of the books and sipped tea from their cups as if nothing was wrong.

Inwardly, they were very nervous.

Sasha sat quietly in her seat and placed her hand gently on the cover of the book.

“A provisional form of the world. That word appears in this book as well. I am sure of it, because I have just recently read it, having borrowed it from Miss Diana.”

Sasha speaks quietly.

“I have heard rumors that Diana and her brother once tried to join in the training of the Kingsguard. Could it be true?”

Sasha looks up from her book and quietly gazes into Diana’s face.

Diana, trying not to look as if she were about to pull away, smiled with a clear face and looked back at Sasha.

“It’s true. But I couldn’t train in swordsmanship after all because of the opposition.”

“You haven’t given up on swordsmanship training. You are actually very strong. As a noble lady, you behave unbecomingly. Is that your ‘true form’?”

Sasha’s eyes sparkle.

Diana’s throat gurgled. Diana is about to open her mouth to answer Sasha’s question, but Sasha stops her with the palm of her hand.

“I knew that you and Il Valeno have been talking in a casual tone when I’m not here. I also know that you talk privately. I felt a little sad, but the young lady is not yet socializing or attending school. Since there is no place to separate public and private, I would like you to switch your feelings between being public when you are with me and private when I am not there, and to have proper etiquette.”

“Sasha….”

“Are you saying that you want me to be part of your public and private responsibilities?”

Sasha asked with a small nod of her head.

Diana shook her head up and down in affirmation.

“Yes. Yes. Sasha is the closest maid of honor to Di, so I wanted her to be on my side.”

“I was surprised to see that Diana’s true self was so strong. To be able to stand up to a stranger like that.”

“Yes. Di is strong, isn’t she? Now that you saw me like that, I can’t hide anything from Sasha anymore…..”

“Yes, she was very strong. Thank you for protecting me.”

“Hehehehehe…… Was it cool?”

“Yes, it was very cool. You were very good at catching a knife thrower.”

“Hehehehe.”

“You must have practiced a lot.”

“Oh, I’ve practiced a lot!”

The next moment she answered that, Diana made a face. 

Il Valeno covers his face with one hand and turns his head down. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”

Sasha raised the edge of his mouth a little.

“Lady Diana. But if you want to live in an aristocratic society, you should learn a few more tricks of the stomach.”

“I’m sorry.”

Diana lowers her eyebrows and turns over.

Sasha lets out one sigh, then stretches her upper body and gently pats Diana’s head.

“Are Miss Diana’s public and private officials the servants of the mansion?”

“Parepantol, Delina, and everyone else in the house, as well as father and mother.”

A nine-year-old girl is acting like a lady even in front of her parents.

“Are husbands and wives also like this in public places?”

In the dining room, in the tea room, and in the salon when we have guests. Sasha saw Diana trying to be a lady even in front of her parents. But without Sasha. When she and her mother were embroidering with the servant down, or in the carriage when she and her father went out to town.

Sasha thought that the time to be spoiled by her parents was only for me.

“I have come here to ask you to switch your manners, to be public in my presence and private when I am not here. But if that is the case. I too will serve you in your true form, not in the temporary form of Diana.”

“Sasha!”

Diana says she doesn’t even show her parents who she is. She was not sure why, but Il Valeno might know, and it was frustrating to ask him about it.

“From now on, please tell me a lot about Lady Diana. In order to protect the secret of the ‘temporary appearance that hides the world’, let’s go along with the farce.”

“Thank you! Sasha!”

Sascha turned a crisp face toward Diana, who thanked him cheerfully.

I’m sorry, but I’m just being myself.  I’ll be very careful about that.

“….Yes.”

She lowered her shoulders, but Diana’s face was smiling.

Sasha called out to Il Valeno, who was breathing in relief.

“I’ll talk to you later. There are things you should and shouldn’t do just because you’ve practiced.”

“……………”

Il Valeno glanced at Diana with a bitter look that said, “It’s your fault for falling for the inducement.”

Diana huffed and looked out the window.

“Since you are going to accompany the young lady in her ‘temporary appearance in the world,’ I hope you will accompany me too.”

“Is there something you would like to do, Sasha?”

“Yes, there is something I have always wanted to do for you, Miss.”

“What is it?”

“It’s…..”

The next morning, Sasha made it a point to curl Diana’s hair when she got ready in the morning.

Diana’s hair is shiny and silky.

After Sasha had changed Diana from her sleepwear to her regular clothes, Il Valeno had set Diana’s hair while she was putting away her sleepwear.

Il Valeno had brushed it clean, put it in a half-up, and attached a hair ornament to it.

But from that day on, Sasha carefully and meticulously curled the ends of her hair to create golden curls.

In the book “The Evening of the Elegant Lady,” the perfect maid of honor is curling the princess’s hair.

While she curls her hair, she checks her schedule for the day and chats with the princess in an offhand manner.

“Well, I’m going to curl your hair again today, okay?”

“Please!”

“Diana. What is your favorite fruit?”

“I like apples. My brother likes to peel them for the rabbit.”

“Rabbit….?”

“Il you can do it too.”

“…I will practice so that I can do it too.”

The chatting continues about other things.

There are still many things that Diana and Il Valeno have not told Sasha.

We ask her to listen to that, little by little, while having her curl the hair.

It will be a little while before I can tell you about the “true form” of the daughter who, although she is a duchess, has not given up her swordsmanship training, but continues to practice swordsmanship against Il Valeno.
