“I want to participate in the safety inspection inside the castle.”

At the same time, I would utilize all available resources—baby messengers and such—to prevent the engagement from being broken.

“…Together with Jacob!”

Lady Isidel looked at me with eyes that seemed to be testing me somehow…

“…Do as you wish. However, make sure there are no disruptions to the wedding preparations and the completion ceremony.”

In the end, I got permission!

***

After the conversation with Chairman Pasan ended, and even the chaperone from the Rosemary family was approved.

Raphael Kairozen rested his chin on his hand and looked around.

Lately, the many people around him, that is, everyone except Chairman Pasan…

“Ahem, hmm. Her Highness the future Grand Duchess looks very troubled indeed.”

“How about Your Grace, who will soon be her husband, go see her? Kehehem!”

…had been chattering to him about every trivial action of Serenthia Rosemary.

But their conversations could never have any effect on him whatsoever.

What does it matter to me if that woman is having a hard time…

Raphael slightly furrowed his brow as he recalled that woman’s small frame.

‘…It really doesn’t matter.’

He walked down the corridor again.

This was the time he was scheduled to meet the new city planner.

But on his way to the Palace Garden to meet the city planner.

He saw two people wearing round donut hats in front of him.

Specifically, Serenthia Rosemary and Jacob Kairozen were loitering in front of him, wearing donut hats and taking notes on something.

‘What scheme are they up to now?’

It was deeply, very deeply irritating.

Moreover, wasn’t Jacob, who had spotted him, running over?

With a strange expression, as if harboring some grand conspiracy.

***

I pressed my donut hat down even deeper.

My precious baby messenger, Jacob, was working very diligently.

For example…

“Uncle, uncle, come here!”

…After receiving the gift, Jacob seemed to have developed quite an inner sense of intimacy toward Raphael.

So he spoke energetically, but…

“What is it. I’m busy.”

The response that came back was cold.

But Jacob stubbornly continued speaking.

“No, look how hard Serenthia is struggling. She’s dedicating herself to our family like this! Even doing safety inspections!”

“It would be ‘safety’ inspection.”

“Anyway… Look at this. Doesn’t she really look like she’d die immediately if kicked out?”

What, die immediately…!

But I was maintaining my tragic heroine concept by gazing out the window and dabbing at my tearless eyes with the back of my hand.

Raphael looked back and forth between me and Jacob, then quietly murmured.

“I see. More importantly, are you reading textbooks by any chance, Jacob.”

“That’s…”

“Or perhaps, studying acting?”

…I glanced at Raphael from the corner of my eye. He whispered lowly.

“It seems like you two are scheming something.”

To avoid being kicked out, I earnestly and honestly changed the subject.

“Good morning. In short, I like you, Raphael~”

Raphael’s expression slightly crumpled.

“…Definitely a master. But I won’t fall for it. Well then, farewell.”

What does that mean… What master?

I watched Raphael’s retreating figure while pressing my donut hat down even deeper.

“Haah…”

“Why, sister? Did you just get rejected again?”

“Yeah. But I’m originally a roly-poly doll, so I’m fine.”

“Oh, you really do look exactly like one…”

I resumed the safety inspection.

Right, as expected, there’s no option where Raphael falls in love with me and decides not to break the engagement.

Chairman Pasan of the Council of Elders isn’t someone I can meet separately either.

Then for now, while continuing to act pitiful…

‘I’ll go alone, according to my plan…!’

I gripped the sign that read [Safety Inspection Indicator] tightly.

On the indicator marking the building’s leak and crack points, I slowly finished making several notes.

‘Good. I’ll break through in my own way!’

D-1 until my mother, Veronica Rosemary, arrives.

My eyes were shining clearly.
