CH 143

“Let’s all go see what Diana has for us.”

Cain grabbed Il Valeno and Cordelia’s heads and peeled them off, lifting Diana and lowering her to the floor.

He stood up from his chair and held out his hand, and Diana took it as a matter of course. Cain passed Sasha as he left the room.

“I also have a souvenir for Sasha, so let’s go to Diana’s room together.”

I called out to her.

Sasha rolled her eyes for a moment, but quickly cleared her face and made a small bail.

“I am Diana’s maid of honor. If Diana is going to her room, then of course I am going there too.”

“Isn’t she pretty?”

Cain laughed amusedly and tweaked at Sasha’s attitude.

From Cain’s point of view, who had a previous life as a salaryman, Sasha was like a new graduate who had just graduated from junior college. He is about the same age as Sasha.

She graduated from the Magic Studies, served in the royal castle, and then became a maid of honor to a duchess. It’s quite a career path.

Unfortunately, there is an age difference with Cain, so there is little hope for becoming a “duchess at first sight”. Cain’s ideal marriage partner is “someone who loves Diana and won’t be jealous if Cain puts Diana first,” so there is no chance for her. Sasha, who is aware of her elite status, would want to keep Cain in check so that she does not fail in her job as Diana’s maid of honor. Cain even thought it was funny to see her bluffing to avoid being underestimated.

In the castle of the estate, Diana’s room is next to Cain’s.

Il Valeno and Sasha watch from behind as they walk the short distance hand in hand, their hair swaying. It is hot in the summer, so Diana also has her hair up, parted in two, and tied into a braid. The three braids are swaying in the same direction.

“You both walk exactly alike.”

“It’s good to have beautiful basic movements.”

Diana’s “temporary” mask has been torn to shreds since she arrived in the territory. This is due solely to the character of her uncle, Viscount Elgrandark, though.

With Keels and Cordelia, she can run in the hallways and laugh with her mouth open. However, when she walks without any problems, her posture is good, and she walks beautifully with her legs and smooth weight shift. This is because the basics are in place. Sasha understood and appreciated this point.

That is why, after he told me, she did not say anything as long as she was aware of the occasion when she saw my “true form” and cooperated so that others would not find out.

Diana’s room was filled with souvenirs from Cain.

They were sorted into miscellaneous items such as toys and stationery, books such as picture books and reference books, and sweets, flowers, and other items that should be opened immediately.

Cain walked over to one of the piles of books and looked at them in order, tracing the spines with his fingers, and eventually found one book and picked it up. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”

“Here, this is a souvenir for Sasha.”

He took the book in his hand and presented it to Sasha. Sasha took the book with both hands out and looked at the title, trying to read it.

“It’s Yuum language.”

“Yeah. I heard that Sasha can speak Yuum.”

“I can’t say I can do it. I’m still studying.”

“Yeah. That’s right, Earl Divan’s first love is a novel, but it’s a standard and popular romance novel in Yuum.”

Cain had learned from Diana’s letters that Sasha liked to read and watch plays. He also knew that Sasha was a fan of tragic love stories about knights and princesses.

“I know that.”

“Oh, you’ve read it? If so, I’m sorry.”

“…No. I knew the title, but it wasn’t in the Remut Blake bookstore.”

“Oh, really? I’m glad to hear that.”

Sasha looked at the cover of the book intently and gently stroked the foil-stamped title with her right hand.

“It’s based on a true story. It’s about the high grandfather of one of Yuum’s classmates at the nobleman’s school.”

“What?”

“Read it, and if you enjoy it, I can tell you the story behind the story.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Cain smiled at Sasha’s awkward bow.

He knew from Diana’s letter that Sasha had become Diana’s ally, but it seemed that she had not yet let down her guard against Cain in any way.

Well, if the sister or mother of the daughter whom Cain had arranged a marriage with was among Sasha’s friends or colleagues from the time of the royal castle, it would not make a good impression. In the first place, there is a rumor that Diana’s personal maid of honor was recruited partly because Cain took too much care of Diana. If that is the case, there is a possibility that his father Dismaya has something to say about Cain.

Cain wanted to get rid of the bad impression from Sasha as much as possible. He thinks that it would be better for those who care for Diana to cooperate with each other rather than to be enemies for Diana’s happiness.

“I’m sure you got a souvenir addressed to Cordelia and Keels, respectively, in your room. Right? Il Valeno.”

“Yes, sir. I asked them to do so.”

When the luggage from the carriage was brought to Cain’s room, it was Il Valeno who instructed the servant of the house where to carry it. When asked by Cain, he nodded firmly.

“I’m going to look for the souvenirs, Cain! See you at dinner!”

Hearing that they had a souvenir for themselves, Cordelia couldn’t stand still and ran down the hallway to her room.

Cain waved her off lightly, then turned around and lifted Diana up.

“Come on, Diana! I bought you some ribbons and brooches! You can show me all sorts of things to wear!”

On the spot, a mini fashion show took place as Diana’s souvenirs were opened one after another.

Diana was most pleased with the cloth-made holy sword Ariad, which he had bought at a toy store in the city of Sadis.

Il Valeno and Sasha are happy to see it, but they are also willing to buy it. They both let out a sigh.
