3.

Fortunately, Perioze’s Sister didn’t notice my abilities either.

After handing the child over to someone called an aunt and coming up to the 2nd floor, I found Perioze’s Sister elegantly savoring a latte.

I sat across from Perioze’s Sister and apologized.

“So, what’s the reason you called me here?”

Perioze’s Sister stared at me intently with an expression that said to get to the point.

I hesitated for a moment, then looked at Perioze’s Sister and spoke.

“Please make me your right hand!”

At my request to become her right hand, Perioze’s Sister responded by snorting once instead of giving a proper answer.

Just then, coffee and bread arrived, so we postponed that matter for later, and I observed Perioze’s Sister’s expression while savoring the delicious latte and bread.

Perhaps it was because I drank the latte while being so tense.

I needed to use the restroom.

Unfortunately, this cafe’s restroom was only on the 1st floor, so I was reluctant to leave Perioze’s Sister alone, but I tried to endure it to no avail.

“Um, I’ll just go to the restroom for a moment.”

I had no choice but to get up abruptly and hurry down to the 1st floor restroom.

After taking care of urgent business and coming out of the restroom to quickly return to Perioze’s Sister who would be alone, as I was about to turn the corner from the 1st floor, I heard the Unnamed Countesses who had to leave without even getting seats on the 1st floor because I had rented the entire 2nd floor whispering among themselves.

My feet instinctively stopped.

“Isn’t that really too rude? How can someone rent out an entire store?”

“She’s just a nouveau riche with nothing but money. She’s so uncouth that this is the only way she can show off her wealth.”

“Even so, that’s too much, doesn’t she have any sense?”

They were all badmouthing me for renting the 2nd floor.

I was prepared to be criticized, so I was about to just pass by when the Unnamed Countesses who had been badmouthing me suddenly started badmouthing my sister, making my steps come to a complete halt.

“I heard this was all ordered by Princess Perioze?”

“That’s right. She can’t rent this place herself because of her reputation, so she’s using the nouveau riche countess.”

“Would Princess Perioze care about reputation? It’s all to avoid being disliked by His Highness the Crown Prince.”

“No, isn’t that too much? At this rate, the nouveau riche countess will take all the blame while she enjoys everything and slips away…”

I couldn’t bear to hear the rest, so I quickly came around the corner and approached the group of Unnamed Countesses sitting by the wall on the 1st floor.

The Unnamed Countesses hesitated for a moment when they saw me, then their expressions changed to one that said ‘so what if you heard us?’

“If it’s not too rude, may I say something?”

At my words, the Unnamed Countesses looked flustered and exchanged glances among themselves.

I smiled brightly at them and said.

“It’s fine to gossip about someone, but you should only gossip with clear facts to avoid looking ugly.”

The Unnamed Countesses’ faces contorted at my words.

“What, ugly…!”

“No, countess. Are you done talking? Ugly? Where are we…!”

“I’m the one who rented the 2nd floor of this place and invited Princess Perioze. The Princess simply accepted my invitation. So there’s no reason for her to be gossiped about by you countesses. And one more thing. To badmouth Princess Perioze, the eldest daughter of Marquis McKenzie, in such a public place – if it were to reach the ears of His Grace Duke McKenzie, do you think those worthless necks would continue to remain attached?”

As I interrupted the excited countess’s words and spoke point by point in a strong tone, the mouths of the Unnamed Countesses who had been badmouthing me and Perioze’s Sister simultaneously shut tight.

I smiled as politely as possible at them and said.

“Please be careful in the future. Words are so light and tend to inflate themselves that no one knows how great a misfortune carelessly spoken words might bring.”

After finishing my words, I turned around as proudly as possible with my chin held high.

Until I climbed the stairs going up to the 2nd floor, all those Unnamed Countesses on the 1st floor remained silent as if they had eaten honey.

Thinking that Duke McKenzie must indeed be scary, I was climbing up to the 2nd floor with a smile when I locked eyes with Perioze’s Sister, who was standing in the middle of the stairs with her arms crossed, looking down at me.

“Oh, Sister…!”

Perioze’s Sister looked at me and the stairs I had climbed with her usual expressionless face.

“Um, Sister…”

Then, before I could say anything, she turned around sharply and went down to the lower floor.

Knowing Perioze’s Sister’s personality too well from the original work, I followed her anxiously, worried that the Unnamed Countesses downstairs might face serious trouble.

Perioze’s Sister, who had come down below the stairs, slowly scanned the surroundings and found the Unnamed Countesses I had spoken with.

When the Unnamed Countesses made eye contact with Perioze’s Sister, they flinched and trembled because their feet went numb, so sister immediately realized that this group was the one that had badmouthed her.

“You were sharing interesting stories.”

A chillingly cold voice echoed through the 1st floor space.

Her charisma was so overwhelming that the bustling 1st floor became quiet as if cold water had been poured over it at Perioze’s Sister’s single remark.

As if she had no interest in such things from the beginning, Perioze’s Sister continued speaking to them with a haughty expression and a voice mixed with coldness.

“Princess McKenzie desperately tries not to be disliked by His Highness the Crown Prince… was it?”

When she repeated exactly what they had said, the Unnamed Countesses became terrified and their faces hardened.

Perioze’s Sister slightly narrowed her eyes as she looked at them.

She was clearly smiling thinly, but from her gaze looking down at the Unnamed Countesses, I could feel the momentum of a predator cornering herbivores.

Standing beside her, my heart grew cold and my back straightened, so I wondered how the Unnamed Countesses who had badmouthed Perioze’s Sister must feel.

“Having a loose tongue is fine, it’s because your heads are empty, so I can’t say anything about that.”

“…!”

“But if you can’t distinguish between those you should run your mouth about and those you shouldn’t, you shouldn’t show your face in high society. Because the price of moving that mouth wrongly could drag down not only you countesses but your entire families.”

‘Wow, that’s a really scary threat…’

She was saying very elegantly and chillingly that if you cross her wrongly, not only will you never be able to appear in high society again, but your family’s very existence will be in crisis.

I was inwardly amazed by Perioze’s Sister’s charisma as she said everything she wanted with an expressionless face.

“We’re, we’re sorry!”

“We were wrong, Princess!”

“We apologize, we misspoke!”

At Perioze’s Sister’s elegant threat, the Unnamed Countesses trembled and quickly apologized.

One countess even burst into tears, making Perioze’s Sister look even more like she was in villainess mode.

“Why are you crying? I haven’t cut off anyone from your families’ necks yet. Now, enjoy yourselves. I hope you enjoy yourselves and realize how easily peaceful days like today can be shattered, countesses.”

Perioze’s Sister smiled, noticeably curving the corners of her mouth and eyes.

That smile was so chillingly cold that it made one’s legs go weak, and even I couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
