Chapter 44
“I, I couldn’t understand what you were saying properly…”
“You couldn’t understand what I was saying properly?”
“Yes, yes.”
“What are you?”
“That, that’s not…”
“Are you some kind of duke?”
“What? No!”
“Or are you at least a marquis?”
“No! I only have a simple title…!”
Do you know this is a class-based society or not?
I omitted those words. After all, every country on the entire continent in has a class system.
So I just smiled cleanly.
“You’re fired.”
“…What?”
The librarian seemed to understand my words a beat too late.
He hurriedly clung to me.
“Ah, Miss! I was wrong!”
“Wrong? Right. What did you do wrong?”
People who have a lot to feel guilty about are like that.
When asked what they did wrong, they can’t answer right away and hesitate.
Just like this young librarian right now.
From the looks of it, he hasn’t been a librarian for very long.
‘I can tell at a glance that this guy’s prospects are dim.’
Working in the Frazier Grand Duchy, he would already know about it.
At least the fact that Marquis Aster Frazier hasn’t returned from the border.
The fact that Tulia had recently received the Direct Lineage Necklace and was trusted by Grand Duke Frazier would have spread widely among the servants.
But the two young masters of the Marquis Frazier House were different.
Leon and Lisian rarely came to the main castle of the Grand Duchy, spending more time at the Marquis Castle in the Imperial Capital.
There was no way this young librarian wouldn’t know the series of facts I knew.
Originally, people working below memorize and share the characteristics and personalities of their superiors like genealogies.
Especially in such a huge great noble family.
He would have known through word of mouth that Lisian’s personality was like waterlogged cotton.
That’s why he could dare to act so rudely.
“Can’t you say what you did wrong?”
“It’s not that.”
“Not that?”
“I, I dared not recognize the young master…”
“You didn’t recognize him? But I clearly heard you call him young master earlier?”
“That, that… I, I was momentarily out of my mind…”
“Didn’t you hear me call him brother?”
“That… that…!”
“Ah, you’re even telling outright lies?”
“No, no!”
Excuses spilling out frantically with a pale face.
This librarian was clearly afraid of me, Tulia Frazier.
I know too.
When Tulia smiles with malice, she’s truly scary like a nine-tailed fox about to devour someone.
Right now, my eyes are surely glittering with that poisonous dark green color, just like the official illustration of the trash Tulia from .
Without taking my gaze off the librarian, I slammed the desk hard.
Bang!
The librarian, whose face had already lost all color, flinched greatly.
“Hey.”
“Yes, yes. Miss Tulia…”
“Go bring the Head Librarian.”
“Eek.”
At the mention of the Head Librarian, the librarian gasped sharply.
He seemed to understand immediately what scale I intended to escalate this matter to.
The librarian immediately clung to me.
“Ah, Miss…!”
Saying he was wrong, that he wouldn’t do it again.
Such words weren’t even worth listening to.
This wasn’t a mistake but clearly intentional.
If Lisian had brought even one other servant, he wouldn’t have dared act so arrogantly.
Even seeing him come alone asking for help, he mocked someone for stuttering a bit.
And that someone was far above his station.
Why would I tolerate a librarian with such rotten character?
Especially since I’m now in the body of Tulia, who was (once) famous for her nasty personality.
“Hurry up and bring him!”
When I shouted angrily, the librarian ran off with a completely pale face.
‘You’re dead.’
Get a taste of trash, you trash.
* * *
The main castle’s library, the ‘Hall of Wisdom’, was literally turned upside down.
The Head Librarian is the chief of librarians.
He would be acquainted with chief advisors like Ruk Kelfosher, and furthermore, would be someone who directly greets Grandfather several times a month.
So he would never tolerate this insubordinate situation.
“…I will properly educate him.”
Whether it was education or dismissal, I had no intention of interfering that far.
‘Don’t treat Lisian carelessly, you bastards.’
The Head Librarian apologized to Lisian several more times especially.
The librarian was making a dying expression next to the Head Librarian, almost kneeling.
“Then…”
“Wait a moment.”
I stopped the Head Librarian who was bowing several more times and trying to withdraw.
“Before you go, find me a book.”
So the title is…
“A book called ‘Proper Monarchy for Heirs’.”
Is that right?
Is this title correct?
“Lisian?”
Puzzled, I turned to look at Lisian.
“Is the title right?”
“…Yeah. That, that book, it’s, it’s right.”
“Did you hear me?”
I immediately put on a threatening tone.
“The books I just mentioned, bring them right now. The time limit is…”
I glanced at the massive pendulum clock, one of the library’s prized possessions.
“I’ll give you 5 minutes.”
“Yes, yes…!”
The head librarian hurriedly gestured to the librarians. The library quickly became chaotic, but.
I turned to look at Lisian and just smiled mischievously.
“They’ll find them soon.”
Lisian, who had been staring at me intently, slowly nodded his head.
His eyes had grown a little wider.
Just like leaves that had grown under the summer sun.
* * *
After the librarians retreated while reading the mood, the library with just the two of us was cozy and quiet.
‘Now this is more to my liking.’
“B-but Tu, Tulia.”
While I was looking around the library with a satisfied feeling, Lisian opened his mouth to ask.
“Wh-what b-business did you c-come here for?”
“I came because I have something to give you.”
“S-something to give?”
I quickly pulled out a medicine packet from my pocket.
“You switched food with me earlier.”
I thought I heard him murmur ‘hyung?’ but well, anyway.
“You might have caught my cold, so this is medicine I got from the personal physician. Take it in advance.”
“Ah…”
“I should ask for some water. Just a moment…”
Lisian stopped me as I was about to get up from my chair.
“I c-can just t-take it.”
“…Without water?”
“Y-yes.”
I blinked my eyes.
‘He can take medicine without water.’
…That’s impressive?
After watching Lisian take the medicine, I asked.
“Why didn’t you get angry at that librarian earlier?”
“It w-was just for a m-moment.”
“…”
“A-and it’s t-true that I’m f-frustrating because I st-stutter.”
“You’re not frustrating.”
“…Huh?”
“Truly frustrating people are those you can’t communicate with.”
Like that bastard Leon Frazier, not you.
“You’re not frustrating at all, hyung.”
“Hyung…”
Lisian murmured quietly again.
“You’re sp-speaking the l-language of the S-Summer Continent K-Kingdom.”
“Huh?”
“Instead of s-saying ‘orabeoni,’ you’re s-saying ‘oppa.'”
So the word ‘oppa’ was from the Summer Continent Kingdom’s language? This was a setting that didn’t appear in , so I was learning it for the first time.
“Should I not use it since it’s from the Summer Continent?”
“It d-doesn’t m-matter.”
Lisian smiled with a strangely nostalgic expression.
“M-Mother was also f-from the Summer K-Kingdom.”
Ah.
I blinked my eyes.
‘I see…’
The story about Tulia’s mother, that is, Marquis Aster Frazier’s wife, doesn’t come out in detail in either.
There’s only the story that she abandoned the Marquis and ran away with another man, and the setting that she only took Tulia with her when she fled.
That’s why the nobles secretly suspect Tulia’s bloodline.
‘I thought it was just a setting to make Tulia a villainess.’
But in Lisian’s eyes as he looked at me, there was no such hostility, suspicion, or any kind of ill feelings.
“You r-resemble Mother the m-most.”
“…Me?”
Lisian stared at me intently, then smiled gently.
“Yes.”
Maybe because no one had ever said such words to me, either outside or inside the game.
Lisian’s words covered my heart like pure white falling snow.
