209 14. The Birth of the Countess

Olivia glares at Levi, who makes tea with Nikoniko's face.

- I think I'm hiding something.

The Ariadel family, Olivia's room.

I was given a quick break, and I was relaxing without climbing the castle.

I woke up in the morning with Levi's brewed herbal tea, dressed up, had breakfast, played with the sweet fairy who came to play, had lunch, and now it's tea time after dinner... but Levi is in too good a mood.

"Olivia, I'm going to do a temporary sewing of the dress after this."

Okay, okay, okay.

I nodded after being told my schedule, but I didn't remember asking for a dress tailor... huh? Tilts his head and neck.

- I wonder if Levi asked for it.

Olivia has fewer dresses to tailor for the Duchess's daughter. I don't need any trouble because I have what I need, but I do need a little something. Levi occasionally orders Olivia's dress.

Olivia thought it might be the same thing this time.....

Levi, when are you going to wear this dress?

Olivia looked at Levy with her face straight through her sleeve in an almost finished dress. Because the dress was so luxurious.

--I wonder if you can buy five dresses that you normally wear?

Olivia has no idea where she's going to wear it.

Levi?

…………

Olivia pursues him, but Levi remains silent.

"It's not a bad thing. I'm going to take off my seat once, because I'm going to proceed with the provisional sewing. Thank you very much."

"Yes, I'll take care of it."

Levi told his maid Julia that he had left the room in a hurry.

Looking at Levi like that, Olivia inflated her cheeks.

"The timing of my wearing a luxurious dress... perhaps my father decided to engage me!? I'm 26 years old... I'm already late for school, so at least I'm looking good?"

Even when Olivia was engaged to Aquastide, Olivia resented why her father decided to get engaged on his own.

- I don't want to marry anyone!

Staring at Levi, Olivia wept. The reason why she didn't want to marry was that she couldn't initially go on pilgrimage to the Holy Land freely, so when asked during socializing, Olivia joked and said that the second son of the Count's family was ~.

But now, there's a good reason why I don't want to get married. And I don't want to be married for the rest of my life.

Olivia was dumbfounded, and the needle said, "It's done." Apparently, the temporary sewing is done and the dress is complete.

Is that finished?

Unlike what I heard, Olivia's eyes were dotted.

The royal castle of the Marine Forest is not an easy place to enter. Olivia stood there now.

Aquastide and Tiara Rose were at the tip of the deep red carpet. In the immediate vicinity, Elliot and other nobles play a central role in the country.

- Well, what kind of event is going to start?

Rather than make it a sea of blood, thinking it was a nuisance, Olivia held her nose with a handkerchief just in case.

I saw Aquastide smile bitterly when I saw it, and I had a little nosebleed. Soon, Levi rushes in with a new handkerchief.

Tiara Rose looks at Olivia and Levi from the podium and giggles. In this atmosphere, they are the same as usual.

Olivia is going to be a sage from now on, but do you understand that?

Olivia-sama, I wonder if you're okay.

"I don't know..."

Aquastide smiled bitterly at the murmur Tiara Rose gave him.

"I don't think Lady Olivia knows what's going to start right now.... I told the Duke of Ariadel."

…………

Olivia was puzzled by Tiara Rose, so she silently dropped her shoulder. Is it okay to proceed as it is?

But when Olivia wiped off her nosebleed, she stretched her spine and began to walk.

Rinse your eyes and you can see the color of determination. Maybe Olivia guessed the situation herself. Tiara rose was relieved and stroked her chest.

Olivia slowly knelt as she walked up to Aquastide.

“Thank you for setting up such a place today.”

“Make yourself at home. Today, I would like to pay tribute to Miss Olivia and give her the reward she deserves."

In response to Aquastide's words, Olivia replied, “Thank you very much for being happy.”

Instead of the usual high-pitched voice, Tiara Rose feels very calm and elegant enough to be the daughter of a duke.

Olivia was always under a lot of tension and bleeding nose, so it was kind of fresh.

"Olivia Ariadel. Grants you a new count and territory." From now on, you can call yourself Rubiaria. "

"I am very grateful to you." As Olivia Rubialia, I pledge my continued loyalty to the Marine Forest. ”

"I also look forward to Miss Olivia's future success."

-Yes.

Olivia kneeling received the title, and when the Countess was born, an applause arose. Among them are Olivia's father, the Duke of Ariadel, and his brother, Claude.

Olivia, who had found her family, turned her gaze to “Why did you keep quiet?” and left the room.

Senpai Tiara Rose ~ ~ ~!

Olivia-sama... you're drunk, aren't you?

"I have to drink it!!"

Catching Olivia's hug, Tiara Rose smiles bitterly at Aqua Steed next to her.

This is the Ariadel family, and now Olivia is throwing a celebratory party when she becomes a countess.

It's only been a few hours since I last saw you.

"When I got home, I didn't know that the Count's Congratulations party was going to start, except for me...!!"

"I want to celebrate with a surprise... or something?"

Tiara Rose responds as positively as she can, but Olivia turns around and says, "No."

"I just didn't have an escape route."...... I can't say no to the words of His Majesty Aquastide. "

It seemed like Levi had a thorough understanding. Olivia quickly drank a glass of wine and sighed heavily.

She closed her eyes and smiled like she was trying to figure something out for a while.

Lord Olivia?

"... no. I've always been sweet on Levi, so I thought I'd get angry." She became the Countess of Olivia Rubialia. "

Tiara Rose smiles at Olivia's determination to jump out of nowhere.

“What are you going to do?”

"First of all, I want to thank Levi." You have supported me for so long that you have become an Earl. There's no need to worry about being separated from Levi..... "

Olivia said that because of the alcohol, her cheeks were more red than usual.

When Olivia, the Duke's daughter-in-law, goes to her daughter-in-law somewhere, Levi, a man, cannot take her. For that reason, Olivia and Levi were either banished from the end of the game, single for the rest of their lives, or allowed to marry.

Inseparable from Levi - Tiara Rose loosens her cheeks as she looks at Olivia, who wants to be with her.

― ― Master Olivia, you really liked Levi.

I've always thought of you two as a good vibe, but a sweet vibe like a lover? I didn't know when I thought about it.

It was up to Olivia and Levi to decide why they were going to do it, but they were hungry, so Tiara Rose was sure to do well.

“If you need anything, please feel free to ask.”

"Thank you, Master Tiara Rose." The Rubiaria family loves the Marine Forest so much, they will be the most honorable crest of this country in the future! ”

Eh

The sudden grand scheme--no, if it's Olivia, it's not grand at all, it's normal. With such a thing, Tiara Rose became a little worried about Olivia's child, who would be born in the future.

Looking at Tiara Rose and Olivia, Aquastide realized that something terrible was going to happen.

As the three of them talked, Levi and Odley, the head of the Ariadel family, arrived. Olivia's mother, Claudia, and her brother, Claude.

“Thank you, Your Majesty Aquastide, for today.”

“No, I am also glad that the best have been awarded new titles.”

"... if you say so, I'll be relieved."

Odley looked at Olivia with a bitter smile. I can see that the gaze is a gesture of mercy, and that I cherish it very much.

There is a past where Olivia and Aquastide were previously engaged and quickly dissolved. It must have been a lot of worry.

"It's been a long time, Majesty Aquastide, and Master Tiara Rose." Thank you for coming today. ”

“Thank you for inviting me to this wonderful party.”

"It's been a long time, Claudia."

Claudia and I have met several times at evening parties and tea parties. It's so beautiful that I don't think I have two children, and the clear skin becomes dizzy whenever I see it.

"Ever since my sister became the maid of Lord Tiara Rose, every day seems to be so much fun... aren't you bothering me?" I hope you haven't run out of handkerchiefs..... "

It was Claude who called out worriedly.

I'm worried about Olivia's nosebleed constitution, and I'm feeling uneasy.

"Oniisama, I'm doing fine!" With Levi here, you won't run out of handkerchiefs! ”

"Vee, that's not true..."

Claude has a problem with getting too much nosebleeds in front of the king and queen, but he also knows that this is one of Olivia's personalities, so it can't be helped.

Don't push yourself too hard, and talk to me right away if you need anything.

"Yes! Thank you, oniisama"

Looking at Olivia and Claude in conversation, Tiara Rose smiles. It's good to have a good family.

"But if Olivia becomes an Earl... she'll have a new Mansion." When you think about it, you'll miss it. "

"Father..." I'm twenty-six already, and I wouldn't have been in my wife's house long ago. "

"... that's right."

In Olivia's words, Odrei's eyes are distant. I hate it when my daughter gets married and goes under other men, but I also hate it when she never gets married. It's hard to talk to a man's mind.

Claudia looked at Olivia and Levy and opened her mouth.

"Since you will become a count, marriage will take the form of a son-in-law." Olivia, don't you have someone you want to marry? "

Claudia giggled, and Olivia's ears turned bright red in an instant.

"Olivia!?"

Odley doesn't see and hear Olivia's reaction!? Although Claudia looks very happy.

"You, Olivia, are already twenty-six years old." Besides, Odley and Claude are more solid than they think. You can think about the future. ”

Claudia smiles at Olivia.

Olivia quickly pulled Levi's arm as she said, "Mother, you see everything..."

"-! Olivia?"

All of a sudden, Levi looks at Olivia in surprise, but Olivia doesn't answer anything with a straight face.

It looks like you didn't answer my question today.

"I will marry Levi!"

Olivia's grandly proclaimed voice echoed throughout the room. The lively talking voice and music stopped in a flash, and everyone gathered around Olivia and Levi.

Claudia smiles happily, and Odley and Claude open their mouths wide.

--No way to make a public proposal!

The tiara rose became irritated and red, and she hurriedly suppressed her cheeks with both hands. I'm thrilled and fuzzy, wondering if it's okay to look at it, but I can't take my eyes off it.

"Olivia, I--"

“This is a decision, Levi. Or... you don't want to?"

"I'm not even with Olivia."

Olivia sighed heavily as Levi disagreed.

"Then I'll ask, Levi."

Yes.

Is there anyone worthy as my husband who became a countess?

――

In response to Olivia's inquiry, Levi lost his words.

At the same time, the Tiara Rose was breathtaking. If I make a mistake, I'll be frustrated with this atmosphere that seems to become a Shura.

"Aqua..."

Aquastide unexpectedly looks at him with a troubled smile.

It looks like Miss Olivia is better this time.

"Is that so...?" It seems that Levi wants to marry someone worthy of him..... "

Seeing Aquastide, already convinced of Olivia's victory, Tiara Rose puts her hand on her chin and bothers her.

-You don't think Levi is worthy of Lord Olivia because he's a commoner, do you?

Thus, the idea that even Levi would be granted a title!? emerges in Tiara Rose. That way, Levi won't have to turn down his identity.

- But Levi has no distinction, and if Levi is going to be a senator, he'll be able to tell us when he hears about Olivia's senator.

That way, Tiara Rose won't know why. Mmm, the reason was immediately told by Levi's mouth.

"... there's no one there. There's no one else who can count the men worthy of Olivia..."

Olivia smiles victoriously when she sees Levi hungry.

"Eh, is that so!?"

"That's right." There aren't many men in the Marine Forest today who match the age of Lady Olivia... but even if you don't think about age in the first place, it's going to be difficult. "

Now the Count, former Duchess, and former fiancé, Aquastide. If the dissolution of the engagement was considered a stain, it would be difficult to place high hopes on the marriage partner, but now the Count was honored for his achievements.

--Levy admits his fate... there's no way.

Isn't a king like Aquastide a prince, or a royalty? And Tiara Rose bitterly smiled.

"In other words, His Majesty Aquastide, there is only one man with a high spec, Levi."

Levi has studied and trained for Olivia - making him an unbelievably high-spec man.

"Hey, don't make me say it again." Levi, I want to spend the rest of my life with Levi. Let's take a lapis lazuli for our honeymoon and explore the sanctuary together? ”

Looking at Olivia with a fun honeymoon plan in mind, it's not what I'm saying right now!? Tiara Rose has a hard time. "I can't believe there's a proposal I can't look at so relievedly..."

"... as Olivia wishes." I will be next to Lord Olivia for the rest of my life. "

“Yeah. We'll be together forever, Levi.”

Olivia hugged Levy and a big round of applause came from the venue.
