Volume 1 Chapter 63-2 Mean Villainess, I Promise
"I feel like I've been sleeping for about 3 days... My body feels heavy."
I mutter this as I get up.
I can't afford to be dazed since the tea parties will be held one after another starting today.
I have to look for Rolus in between the tea parties.
"Alright, let's bake some sweets."
If I bake Rolus's favorite cake, he might come back drawn by the smell... but, well, that's probably not going to happen.
But maybe.
Yeah.
...Yeah.
Probably not.
But since Rudger is coming too, there will definitely be at least one person who will be happy, so I should bake after all.
I might not be able to treat him to this after we graduate from the academy.
While I was quietly baking in the kitchen, lost in thought, a maid called out to me.
It seems it's about time to change.
I chose a deep green dress and decided to wear it to the tea party.
"Elena, thank you for inviting me today."
The first to arrive was Leve.
Dressed in formal attire, Leve sparkled more than usual, about 50 percent more.
As expected of a character from an otome game.
"Thank you for coming. ...It's kind of strange that we can't play a game now that Leve is here."
Saying that, we both chuckled.
"Ms. Elena, um, thank you for inviting me today."
Next to arrive was Flora.
Dressed beautifully, she was truly stunning.
When I first saw her, I thought she was more plain than I expected, but now her beauty seems to overshadow any plainness.
Perhaps her parameters were tilted towards beauty.
She's the heroine, after all.
Well, I don't even know if this game has parameters.
"Here, this is a souvenir."
"A souvenir?"
If it were a gift, it should have been passed from servant to servant, but I took the bag she offered me.
"I talked to my father, ah, my biological father, about a game based on Lady Ruby, and he made it into a prototype, so I thought you might like it."
"I'm so happy!!!!"
A game created by the god for my favorite!
I asked a nearby maid to carefully take this treasure to my room, and we took our seats.
"It's Ms. Elena's dress, the color of Mr. Rolus, isn't it?"
"...Yeah, that's right."
"I can't find him, Rolus."
Leve mutters, even though everyone is searching.
"I wonder where that kid went. But don't you think it's impossible for him to just come back normally now?"
When I say that, both of them tilt their heads in confusion.
"I mean, we've been looking for so long, and if he just pops back in, it wouldn't be interesting at all."
"I don't think this is the time to seek out interesting things."
"You have to seek some level of interest, or it won't be fun."
"Oh, you're a bit angry, Elena."
"I'm not angry!"
I'm not angry.
I'm not angry, but I wouldn't know how to react if he just came back normally.
"If Ms. Elena is in danger, and he comes back heroically, I think that would be really cool!"
"That sounds nice!"
As expected of Flora.
She loves that kind of thing!
"What kind of situation would put Elena in danger?"
"Like, Rolus was the one who helped her when she was staggering on the roadside."
"That sounds great! I'm sure Ms. Elena would only notice Mr. Rolus by the hand he extends!"
"I would definitely notice. After all, it's Rolus's hand!"
Leve watched me and Flora getting excited, his face slightly twitching.
And he mutters.
"Rolus, if you don't come back soon, something terrible will happen...!"
He said.
Indeed, if this continues, the stakes will keep rising.
Good luck, Rolus.
"I wouldn't mind if it were the other way around."
"The other way?"
"I would go heroically to rescue Rolus when he's in danger."
"Ms. Elena, that's so cool! Just like Lady Ruby!"
"Really!?"
"Rolus is already in a terrible situation...!"
...Good luck, Rolus!
With all that, the tea party I hosted turned out to be a lot of fun.
However, I had no idea that right after this, the biggest conflict in my family's history would break out.
