Chapter 12

I stopped talking and pushed Louis, and he dove onto the bed.

With a thud, Louis flopped face-down on the bed and let out another artificial “Cough. Hack.”

Fortunately, the Crown Prince didn’t seem to notice this scene and continued speaking casually.

“My younger sister is planning to hold a tea party, and she said she wants to invite you. That is, if you recover by then. Of course, I’ll be attending that party as well.”

I hurriedly sent Louis a meaningful look.

‘Say yes. Quickly!’

Louis seemed to understand my signal and nodded weakly while coughing.

“Cough. Hack.”

The more I heard it, the worse his acting became.

“Then I hope you recover as soon as possible.”

The Crown Prince finally left the bedroom.

I confirmed that the imperial carriage was leaving the manor through the window before signaling to Louis that he could get off the bed.

“Just how long do I have to keep doing this?”

Louis kicked off the blanket and got up in one swift motion, throwing a tantrum, but his voice didn’t reach my ears.

My mind was completely filled with thoughts of the First Princess’s tea party.

That very tea party, one of the important events in the original story!

The First Princess was the villainess of the original work and a character who hated Beatrice to death.

In the original story, Beatrice attended the First Princess’s tea party and suffered great humiliation and shame, when the Crown Prince appeared with a flourish to help her, developing their relationship.

Since the Crown Prince’s favorability is at 100%, it would be great if things went just like in the original.

But the problem is…

I glanced at Louis.

Perhaps because he had been lying down, his body felt stiff, so he was doing push-ups with Beatrice’s slender wrists.

“One million twenty-one, one million twenty-two…”

I wondered if Louis was really the type of person who would accept help from the Crown Prince.

More than anything, I had no idea how Louis would react when the First Princess provoked him.

The First Princess, being the villainess in the story, tormented Beatrice quite a lot.

The reason was that Duke Wischurs, who was the Crown Prince’s friend and her brother, and whom she had been secretly in love with since childhood, loved Beatrice.

The First Princess’s invitation of Louis to the tea party was also to warn him not to get close to the Duke.

Knowing what would happen at the tea party, I couldn’t send Louis to the tea party alone.

While Louis was formally invited by the First Princess, how could I attend the tea party hosted by the First Princess…

Maybe if I talked to the Count, he could find a way?

I considered it briefly but soon gave up.

The Count wouldn’t listen to me anyway, and I didn’t particularly want to go see him.

Then how could I attend the First Princess’s tea party?

Should I just prevent Louis from attending?

If he pretended not to be fully recovered until then, he wouldn’t have to attend…

No, I can’t waste such a good opportunity to build affection with the Crown Prince.

Besides, it was an important event described in the original work, so if Louis didn’t attend, the world destruction gauge would surely rise.

But if Louis went and caused trouble, it might be worse than not meeting at all…

“Ah, what should I do…”

“What’s wrong?”

“The tea party.”

“Can’t you just go, drink tea, and come back? I’m good at drinking tea.”

“The tea party is an important event in the original story. Just in case, I want to go with you, but I wasn’t formally invited…”

“Then ask to be invited.”

“I don’t have any connection with the First Princess. Plus, I don’t have anyone around me to ask…”

It would be nice if I could become invisible.

After pondering for a while, I soon made an “Ah” sound and clapped my hands.

Why didn’t I think of that?

“Magic tools!”

“Huh? Ma, what?”

Among magic tools, there were also ones that made you invisible to others.

And conveniently, there was a wizard nearby who was good at making magic tools.

When Shamal comes to find me, I’ll ask him then.

I hope he doesn’t come too late…

I prayed that Shamal would come as soon as possible and smiled at Louis.

Still, I felt good that a solution had emerged.

Hehe.

* * *

When I returned from the Marquis’ mansion, it was already evening.

I lay on the bed reading a romance novel recommended by the maids while crunching on well-baked cookies.

I even left the balcony door wide open since I didn’t know when Shamal would come.

Mm, the cookies at the Marquis’ mansion are definitely more delicious. I should bring some back when I go there tomorrow.

As I was enjoying reading and dessert for a while, a maid who knocked and quickly entered quietly reported.

“Young Count has come to visit.”

Huh? Why at this hour?

I felt an ominous premonition and put away the book I was reading and the cookies I was eating.

After patting down the wrinkled nightgown from rolling around on the bed, I nodded to the maid, and Louis’s usual appearance was revealed.

“I greet the Young Count…”

As I was about to bow while holding the hem of my nightgown, suddenly my vision flashed white.

Smack-!

The sound rang in my ears as my head turned to the side.

I was looking down at the floor with my neck twisted, and only when I tasted the stinging flavor of blood in my mouth did I realize I had been slapped.

I straightened my head and looked at Louis.

Louis was looking down at me with his usual indifferent gaze.

To have such an expression after hitting his sister.

This guy was really quite terrible.

“You’ve been going out frequently lately.”

“I was building friendship with a friend.”

“Mother died giving birth to you, and you’re just meeting friends for trivial reasons.”

Why is he suddenly making a fuss?

“Going out is forbidden for the time being.”

What did I do wrong to deserve this!

I was furious to the point of madness, but I skillfully hid my feelings and looked up at Louis.

“What exactly did I do wrong?”

“Instead of asking such things, just reflect on yourself.”

But I need to know what I did wrong to decide whether to reflect or not.

Louis straightened his disheveled clothes from hitting me and left the bedroom.

I stared blankly at Louis’s retreating figure and then raised two middle fingers toward the closed door.

I wiped the blood from my mouth with my sleeve.

I’ll quickly prevent the world’s destruction and get out of here.

I flopped down on the bed while holding my stinging cheek.

It’s already stinging, so it’s going to swell terribly.

But what should I tell Louis?

I need to write a letter. Should I tell him the truth that I’m banned from going out and can’t give lessons for a while?

But if he asks why I was banned, I have nothing to say.

I don’t know? He suddenly slapped me and said I was banned from going out? If I say that…

“He won’t believe it…”

Publicly, Louis was an excellent Young Count.

He had excellently handled his duties as a viscount, and unlike his gloomy sister, he had good social skills and a smooth relationship with his fiancée.

No one would believe that such a viscount was actually a psychopath who hit his sister for no reason at all.

Rather, they might paint me as a patient with paranoid delusions.

“Sigh.”

I let out a deep breath.

I should tell Louis Sauver that I’m not feeling well.

There’s still quite a bit of time until the tea party anyway. He’ll let me off the hook until then, probably.

Let me take this opportunity to put down these headache-inducing problems and rest.

Thinking of it as a brief vacation, I opened the book I had set aside on one side of the bed.

Perhaps because my cheek hurt, somehow the book’s contents wouldn’t enter my head.

* * *

I must have fallen asleep without realizing it.

Lifting my heavy eyelids, I checked the clock.

It was already past 1 o’clock.

Thinking that Shamal wasn’t planning to come today either, I was about to close the balcony door.

“Oh, hello.”

A familiar silhouette was standing there.
