Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement Chapter 223

223. The Third Princess 1

“The Crown Prince of a neighboring country will come. As expected, I can’t excuse your selfishness!” (?)

” ” ” Yes…” ” “

The queen, the first and the second princess have no choice but to answer so.

The third princess also nodded.

“Then cheer up! It is not like we will hold a grand party, it’ll be just a banquet, and the only women who will be present are just you guys; the queen and the princesses!! That way, there should be no problem!!

In the first place, there is no reason for the Crown Prince to come to exchange diplomatic documents of this extent.

What do you think would happen if you don’t show your faces!! What would you do if the relation with our neighbor worsen because they felt insulted!! Would you take responsibility for that? If we were to lose our national interest because of your pointless selfishness, would you apologize to the people?” (The King of Vanel)

” ” “Uuu…” ” “

The queen and the princesses who blamed the king and refused to appear in public because they couldn’t get their hands on the cosmetics, accessories, foods, and various other stuff from the Yamano Viscounty, but as expected, they cannot refuse this one.

In the first place, the real purpose of the Crown Prince’s visit is to [meet the princesses]…

Besides, Yamano cosmetics were not completely unobtainable…

They’re the Queen and the Princesses, after all.

If they play their hands behind the scenes and apply some pressures, they will be able to obtain what they want…

…However, it was impossible to find a product that exclusive only to the [Society]…

It’s obvious. No one among the members would want to take the risk of losing everything.

The [Society]. A dreamy paradise that promises its members a bright future.

And if one were disgracefully expelled from there…

Exiled from paradise.

Removed from a group of saints.

What would those who heard that think?

…it would have meant [Death] for them in the social circle.

And it’d be a perfect death where they can never be reborn again. They’d fall past the bottom of the hell.

That is the secret organization called [Society], where no traitor will ever exist.

Their unity and loyalty far exceeded Mitsuha’s imagination…

“Then, to welcome His Highness Vares, cheers!!” (?)

” ” ” ” ” “Cheers!” ” ” ” ” “

From the Vanel Kingdom’s side, the king’s family, the prime minister, and the firs-class officials were present in the banquet that was held to welcome the Crown Prince and his party.

Officially, the purpose of the visit is to exchange diplomatic documents, but of course, the real purpose is to meet the three princesses.

Reputed to have a good personality, good-looking, and would be the king of the next period, a super attractive product that girls of the royal family in the surrounding countries somehow want to have contact with. And being a neighbor of this country, he has little concern about being married.

It goes without saying that the royal couple and the prime minister were hoping for the discussion to have a good outcome so that the relation between the two countries could be strengthened, but even more than that, the princesses were very enthusiastic about it—all three of them.

And…

Giinn!! (SFX)

The air at the banquet venue had become chill just now.

…especially the air around the first and second princesses…

“Ne-nenene… Nereya, wh-what does this mean, I wonder… “(1st princess)

“Y-yo-yo, you, such an underhanded…” (2nd princess)

Right, the third princess, who was being stared by the first princess, the second princess, and the queen, had done something.

That appearance of hers.

She asked her friends to do their best to put makeup on her using the finest cosmetics she had obtained from the [Society], which she joined, secretly from her family and everyone in the royal palace, not as the third princess, but as viscountess Nereya de Waechter.

On top of that, she’s wearing the accessories that she borrowed from Mitsuha. …of course, the rental fee was taken…

And three friends from the [Society] that she had invited to the royal palace to help with her makeup are currently waiting in her private room while curiously looking around the room because they were told that they could play around inside…

…now, the fighting power of the third princess, Nereya, is so strong that her two sisters cannot put up a fight against her. It is almost comparable to the daughter of a count, Caelia de Sylvette, when she asked a relief request from her friends in the [Society] in order to make the eldest son of another county family fall for her.

…to make matters worse; she is the youngest among the three sisters.

And then, Princess Nereya smiled from ear to ear towards her trembling elder sisters.

( (Gunununu…) )

The two sisters gritted their teeth in vexation, but they can’t afford to show a disgraceful behavior.

Marriages will always start with the eldest. That is how it usually goes, so the elder sisters who weren’t yet engaged should have had an advantage over their younger sister. …of course that is without considering the other factors at all.

So the game has not been decided yet.

Right, it is not yet the time to panic.

Then the food was served before everyone. It seems that the good-looking people were chosen as the waiters, and some of them were still young women.

And…

“Ah!”

A part of the food spilled from the plate that slipped off the table, and with a little momentum, it stained the table clothe and Princess Nereya’s dress in succession.

” ” ” ” ” “Wha~!!!” ” ” ” ” “

It was a mistake that should never happen.

Everyone was frozen, and the servant turned pale.

Today of all days, during the banquet to welcome an important member of the royal family of another country, she made a big blunder and involved the princess on top of that.

…There’s no way she could get away with it.

Not only the Vanel Kingdom’s side but also the Crown Prince’s side, no one said a word.

Not because they were angry at her rudeness, they probably couldn’t help but wonder about the fate of this poor woman, which might be pretty harsh…

“Oh, were you perhaps too nervous and slipped your hand? You don’t have to worry, it’s not a big deal” (3rd princess)

Saying so, Princess Nereya picked a piece of meat that had fallen from the plate and put it back on the plate.

” ” ” ” ” “Eh…” ” ” ” ” “

And towards those who opened their eyes wide out of surprise, Princess Nereya once again gave a warm smile.

“There is no problem. The laundry maids can wash them properly… And neither the dress nor the tablecloth is worth the loss of a servant” (3rd princess)

The Vanel Kingdom’s side was still petrified, but the faces of the Crown Prince’s side begin to show relief as if they were impressed. …right, no one wants to see a small failure ruin a woman’s life.

If the princess herself decided to let the matter slide, then it shouldn’t be a problem anymore. With that in mind, it’s only natural to feel relieved. A good noble—a good royal should also consider the common people.

“…but I suppose you would feel sorry towards your chief and colleagues, which would make it hard for you to stay in the workplace… right, you, become my lady-in-waiting. I’ll talk about it later.” (3rd princess)

” ” ” ” ” “Eeeehhhhhh!!!” ” ” ” ” “

Everyone once again raised a surprised voice. This time, it was both the Vanel Kingdom’s side and the Crown Prince’s party.

And…

(What a wise girl she is… If I’m not mistaken, she’s still 12 years old… To think she is this kind and considerate towards the commoner. Moreover, she was able to take the best course of action without being perturbed…. And on top of that, she is beautiful…) (Crown Prince)

The interest and gaze of the crown prince were concentrated on princess Nereya. As is obvious.

Princess Nereya smiled softly inside her mind.

And…

Similarly, the waitress woman grinned inwardly.

Of course, it was a set up from the beginning.

Under the promise that nothing would ever go wrong, the waitress jumped on the bet while being aware of the risk.

And she won the bet brilliantly, and successfully gained a dreamlike position as a lady-in-waiting of a princess…

And Princess Nereya acquired a reliable confidant who would deal with lies, dangers, or even evil deeds without concern if it’s for her sake.

If Mitsuha were here, she would probably have murmured.

[Nereya, what a frightening child…]

(Note: Wait, i thought this whole thing was arranged by the loli lover?)
