40.

 

As expected, dealing with a simple and supremely confident summoned creature was easy.

 

At my request, Pandeum immediately asked me to tell him in detail what he needed to do, and I told him to be summoned right now before Lloyd at the Crown Prince’s Palace and deliver my message.

 

Among Pandeum’s abilities was the power to go anywhere he wanted, so appearing before Lloyd using that ability would be a piece of cake.

 

Of course, something intruding into the Imperial Palace without permission would become a major incident, so I had to remember to target the moment when Lloyd was alone as much as possible and say that I had sent him before Lloyd could be startled.

 

After checking even that and giving Pandeum firm instructions, Pandeum told me to trust only him and disappeared.

 

I wondered if I could trust him, but since there was no other way at the moment, I had no choice but to trust him.

 

After sending Pandeum away and coming outside, I headed to the room where Caroline would be alone and thought about her.

 

She was also the original heroine, so she should know about the current situation.

 

Rather, I had to consider whether it was okay to inform Perioze’s Sister about this fact.

 

Perioze’s Sister was a villain who joined hands with the dark sorcerer and the Empress in the original work.

 

Of course, since I had already talked about my power, nothing might change even if I talked about Lloyd.

 

Especially since Perioze’s Sister loved Lloyd more than anyone else, she would never do anything that would put him in danger…

 

Well, I had no evidence but I had confidence that seemed certain.

 

Then, while talking with Lloyd, should I suggest telling Perioze’s Sister and Caroline about the truth in addition to Theor and Greim?

 

It still felt strangely uncomfortable to tell Caroline the truth rather than Perioze’s Sister, but that seemed to be my excessive worry for paving a flower path for my sister.

 

Moreover, seeing Caroline blocking the front of the bed where my bag was placed like this and making a sharp expression toward the two countesses as soon as I entered the room, it was definitely excessive worry.

 

“Eli!”

 

Caroline, who had been showing hostile eyes toward Florence and Leilani, immediately relaxed her face as soon as she saw me.

 

Looking at such Caroline, I wondered if I had been suspicious of her, who was so simple and whose feelings showed immediately.

 

And she was the original heroine at that.

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

“The countesses were trying to touch your belongings without permission.”

 

“Touch them? I was just trying to change beds.”

 

Leilani said while shrugging her shoulders once toward Caroline.

 

“This bed is Eli’s!”

 

“We haven’t even decided yet, so why are you claiming it’s that commoner’s?”

 

“She’s not a commoner, Countess Leilani.”

 

“A title bought with money doesn’t count as a title, Countess Caroline.”

 

Leilani naturally responded to Caroline’s words and smiled as if looking down on her.

 

“Say those words directly to His Majesty the Emperor.”

 

As I walked toward Caroline and spoke to Leilani, both Leilani and Florence’s gazes turned to me simultaneously.

 

How foolish.

 

“Our family’s title was directly bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor. As a token of appreciation for our contribution in providing massive financial support to the Imperial Court.”

 

“Th-that’s buying it with money!”

 

“Of course it is. But even if it’s a title bought with money, since His Majesty the Emperor personally bestowed it, ignoring that title is the same as ignoring His Majesty the Emperor.”

 

At my words, Leilani’s face visibly hardened.

 

Florence also looked slightly surprised, as if she hadn’t thought I would challenge them on that point.

 

This was why being stupid meant you couldn’t even play the villain role properly.

 

Right now, these people were trying to bring me down by constantly touching my weak points, but their approach was fundamentally wrong.

 

Insisting on not recognizing our family’s title received from the Emperor in this way to make me angry was the same as saying with their own mouths that they would defy the Emperor’s command.

 

From when I first possessed this body, most people tried to bring me down with this kind of thing, but only Perioze’s Sister didn’t do that.

 

She was the type who thought the Emperor’s commands should naturally be accepted, so she excluded that part and only brought down me as a person.

 

Of course, she used words like “how dare a mere viscount” or “despite being of commoner origin” at the end of her sentences, but she never touched on the part about buying the title with money.

 

Ah, I miss my sister…

 

I briefly missed my favorite character inwardly, thinking of Perioze’s Sister’s venomous expression that suddenly came to mind.

 

“I-I didn’t ignore His Majesty the Emperor. I was just…”

 

“Are you saying Caroline and I have hearing problems? You clearly just said in front of us…”

 

“Never mind that. Let’s talk about using the beds.”

 

When they found themselves in a disadvantageous situation, Florence suddenly interrupted.

 

Ah, the beds.

 

I accurately caught that this was a situation where Leilani was insisting on using the bed by the window where I had been unpacking to bother Caroline while I was away, and looked at Leilani.

 

“You want to use this place?”

 

“Of course. I can’t sleep unless I sleep by the window.”

 

“The bed next to it is Caroline’s bed, is that okay?”

 

“What does it matter? I just need to use the bed by the window.”

 

“Then since there are two beds by the window, Countess Leilani and I can use them?”

 

At my words, Florence and Leilani let out snickers as if they had been waiting.

 

“That window seat over there is Countess Florence’s seat, what are you talking about?”

 

“This was my seat.”

 

“Who said you could claim a seat on your own?!”

 

“That’s right, who said Countess Florence could claim that seat on her own?”

 

When I directed Leilani’s criticism right back at Florence, both their faces instantly hardened.

 

I drove the final nail toward them.

 

“There are three, no four people who want window seats, but only two window seats, so proper coordination is needed.”

 

“No, why four? Countess Caroline…”

 

“She gave it up because of me, but Caroline also likes window seats.”

 

At my words, Caroline looked at me.

 

I felt her gaze, but I didn’t look at her and asked Florence, who had a stiff face.

 

“So, how do you want to coordinate this?”

 

Florence seemed completely unprepared for me to ask such a thing and was momentarily flustered before speaking to me.

 

“It’s ridiculous that coordination is needed. My family has the highest title in this room, so I should have the first choice…”

 

“Since when does the Empire decide the order of things by titles?”

 

When I interrupted and refuted Florence’s words, both her and Leilani’s faces hardened simultaneously.

 

Apparently, those two thought that when they said they would use the window-side beds, Caroline and I would be upset but just let them do it.

 

Caroline had such a kind personality, so that was understandable, but I had no idea on what basis they thought I wouldn’t make a peep and give up the window seat.

 

Clearly, seeing the beds divided two by two for the four-person group, it would be natural for people who came together to use beds next to each other.

 

“Then what do you suggest? Don’t tell me you’re going to fight us over the window-side beds?”

 

I didn’t know why the sparks were flying in that direction again, but seeing Leilani immediately jump in at Florence’s words, it seemed they had prepared this threat in advance too.

 

“Fight? The commoner countess doesn’t even have attribute abilities.”

 

“Ah, what good is having a title bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor? No attribute abilities and no fighting ability.”

 

“That’s right, isn’t this our victory before it even starts? Countess Caroline only has defense and healing abilities too, right?”

 

Watching the two exchange words with such delighted expressions somehow made them seem cute.

 

I couldn’t understand what they were trying so hard to gain from all this effort.

 

“Are you having second thoughts now? Realizing you can never beat us? Well, ignorance isn’t bad. Now that you’ve realized it, quietly give the window seat to Countess Leilani and…”

 

“I don’t want to.”

 

I raised one corner of my mouth and interrupted Florence’s words.

 

Then Florence and Leilani’s faces immediately hardened.

 

“What did you say?”

 

“Commoner Count… no, Countess Elinea. Did you just say you don’t want to?”

 

Florence stopped calling me “commoner countess” after I asked if she was ignoring the Emperor’s command.

 

She didn’t seem to be the hopelessly stupid type after all.

 

“Yes, I said I don’t want to.”

 

“Really, you want to get hurt, it seems.”

 

Florence began generating water droplets on her body.

 

Then, Leilani also spread small flames, her attribute, throughout her body.

 

Ah, correction.

 

She is the stupid type after all.

 

I let out a short sigh looking at the foolish countesses who were using their attributes in the Imperial Shrine to claim one bed and to prevent Caroline and me from standing up to them during the prayer meeting.

 

Then I spoke to them.

 

“The use of elemental abilities is prohibited in the Imperial Shrine, you do know that, right?”
