The Grand Duchess Is Defeated Again Today

A princess is weak against shame.

After Rebecca’s declaration of defeat yesterday.

There wasn’t much difference between me and Rebecca.

The princess seemed to think that I deliberately said such embarrassing words to get revenge on her.

I don’t want Rebecca to find out, so I didn’t feel the need to change the princess’s mind either.

Our relationship was as usual.

Rebecca still treats me as a mean fiancée, and I still tease the princess so as not to get caught.

It was a relationship that had not changed at all.

but. It wasn’t that nothing had changed.

“…aren’t you going to class today?”

“Yes. I told Frederick beforehand.”

First of all, during the week Rebecca stays at Count Xernias’s residence, she doesn’t take Frederick’s classes.

– It would be better not to conduct classes while the princess is staying.

It was an agreement with Frederick after being forgiven by the princess yesterday.

My tutor, Frederick, was also from Count Xernias. Because of that, I, the family master, didn’t want to see my relationship with my fiancée, the princess, fall apart.

What kind of teacher would want students to fight in the middle of their class with their useless pride ignited.

Even the students have one, the next Earl of Xernias, the future of the family in which he works, and the other, the next Duke of Valencia, who may have the greatest influence in the Empire.

That’s why Frederick has suggested that I postpone class first.

Anyway, because I was also trying to bring up the story of delaying class for the sake of the princess who will be alone while I’m in class.

– great. The next class will be postponed until next week.

I was happy to accept the offer.

– Progress has been slow, so you should be prepared for the next class.

– ···.

That’s not to say I wasn’t happy with the terrifying words that followed.

In any case, while the princess was staying at the Countess, she no longer had to attend classes and was able to spend time with Rebecca fully.

And the second difference.

It was confirmed that the princess would stay at Count Xernias’ residence before the imperial banquet.

This, too, had already been granted by Count Xernias, my father and the owner of this mansion.

-······The princess of Valencia is here?

Of course, when my father first told me that Rebecca had visited, he seemed to think he had heard it wrong.

– For this reason, it seems that Princess will have to stay in the mansion for a few days.

– okay. i get it.

I diligently explained why the princess had to stay here, and she readily granted my request.

The result was a princess with a puzzled expression in front of me now.

“······why?”

“····.”

“Can’t you just take a class with me like yesterday?”

Rebecca asked me as if she really didn’t know.

It must have been Rebecca who couldn’t have known that she had postponed class because of her.

It was hard to tell if that innocent expression really didn’t know or if he was laughing at me for not being able to attend class.

So, as the fiance of a compassionate princess, I decided to kindly explain.

“It’s for the princess whom I love. If I go to class, she won’t be lonely.”

“····.”

This was the third change.

The fact that I can include multiple rhetoric when I call Rebecca.

Lovely, beautiful, cute and so on. I was able to bring out the thoughts that were only in my head with words.

Until now, I couldn’t do it because I was afraid that if I said something like that, my feelings would be exposed.

“…don’t make fun of me.”

As you can see from that reaction.

Because Rebecca accepted that I was making fun of her no matter what rhetoric I added.

“I’m not kidding. As the princess’s fiancee, how can she not love the beautiful princess.”

“····.”

In this way, I was able to watch Rebecca’s shy reaction without my feelings being revealed.

Did I say that the ground hardens after it rains?

I don’t know who made it, but it was really well made.

“······· So, what are we going to do now?”

Rebecca seemed to realize that if she kept asking about that subject, she would only hear my shameful spit.

If you change the subject like this and ask a question.

‘I’m sorry. I wanted to see more.’

For a moment, I regretted that my plans were discovered too soon, but I opened my closed mouth and told Rebecca what to do.

“Shouldn’t we prepare for the imperial banquet?”

What we should do is the main reason I was banned and the main reason Rebecca came to Count Xernias.

It was preparations for the imperial banquet.

***

imperial banquet.

Unless there is a special occasion, it is a banquet hosted by the imperial family that is held only once a year.

Since it is an event where all nobles in the empire gather, it is a good opportunity to make connections for ordinary nobles.

In the original novel [The Prince Holds the Sword], the imperial banquet is one of the most important events, and Mikhail Schelgart, the main character, meets most of the main characters during this period.

From Rebecca and other female protagonists to the people who have a big influence on the story afterwards, they were all the people the protagonist met for the first time at the imperial banquet.

A place like a meeting place where the protagonist first meets most of the important characters.

That was the role of the imperial banquet in the original novel.

“Are you going to practice dancing?”

“Shouldn’t it be? I can’t help but guess at all.”

Of course, for me and Rebecca, it was nothing more than a cumbersome place to dance as partners.

If it was natural, it was natural.

As the possessor, I did not want to change the content of the original novel by making connections with other nobles unless it was related to a princess.

Because Rebecca, the only daughter of the Duke of Valencia, one of the two dukes of the Empire, will come to the nobles who will come to her without having to approach her first.

There was no such thing as a social world full of romance for me and the princess.

There was only a social circle with troublesome nobles who like to talk.

“I don’t want to…”

“····.”

“Do I even need to practice separately?”

“Didn’t the Duchess send you to practice Princess-sama?”

“My mother used to say that, but I honestly don’t know if I should practice.”

Rebecca didn’t like the fact that she had to take the time to practice dancing.

After all, Princess Munchkin has no shortage of skills not only in other aspects, but also in dancing.

Few people would like to invest their time in something they are already good at.

“I have to practice.”

However, Rebecca, who does everything without any problems, says so. I was the problem.

It’s not that I haven’t learned about noble dances since I was possessed here.

He had no experience in dancing, except for having been taken by his mother, Countess Xernias, forcing him to do the steps.

Even so, it doesn’t mean you haven’t learned it at all, but you’ll get used to it even if you try it a few times.

Those ‘a few’ experiences were important to me.

There’s a big difference between what you’ve actually done and what you haven’t done.

“…are you not able to dance enough to have to practice?”

“····.”

When Rebecca heard that I needed practice, she looked genuinely surprised.

As if it were actually possible.

“I knew you weren’t very talented at this kind of thing. It’s amazing that it even takes practice.”

“It’s true, so I won’t refute it.”

Despite Rebecca’s subsequent sell-off, I did not refute, as I usually do.

As I said, it was true, and it was not Rebecca, but me, who regretted not being able to practice dancing now.

“So, I want my beloved fiancee to lead me.”

“····.”

So, instead of refusing, I decided to convince Rebecca with a lot of words.

With the thought that if you don’t help me practice my dance, I’ll fill you with shame.

“Won’t Princess Rebecca, the most beautiful princess in the world, teach this poor fiance herself?”

“······stop.”

“If the princess I love taught me directly, I would never be happier than that…”

“I’ll practice, so stop talking!”

It was what I expected though.

Using shame to attack Rebecca was very effective.

Seeing the princess screaming at me with her face already blushing even though she had only said a few sentences.

“If my beloved princess wants me to stop talking. I’ll do it this far.”

“····.”

She was a princess who was much weaker than I thought.
