Formerly, The Fallen Daughter of the Duke - Chapter 89

[Book Commemoration SS] Memories and the Future at Baron Raine’s House – Part 2

“Hey ……, maybe you should ask Lui to change your hair color after all.

“What are you talking about? What are you talking about? It’s not very nice for a prince of a country to visit the nobility of his country in disguise.

Vik shunned Keith, who was worried.

It had been several days since Claire and Isabella had made their promise. Today was a holiday for the Royal School.

After finishing up the paperwork that had accumulated in the morning, Vik and Claire planned to visit Baron Raine’s house together.

I’m sure no one will be escorting them today. Of course, Claire is with me, so it’s not a problem.

“Keith, aren’t you worrying a little too much ?　He says he’s going to use transference magic today, so it won’t be a problem.

It’s …… so?

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do that.

I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do it,” he said.

I’m sure Baron Raine was very good to Claire in her first life. I’d like to meet him once.

The three aides looked at each other in dismay as Vik returned with a clear face.

It is true that Vik’s duties will be completed in the morning. But after that, his aides still had to prepare documents. They could have proceeded without him, but why did they dare to go out?

To the aides who were looking at him with lukewarm eyes, it looked as if he just wanted to enjoy being alone with Claire.

And they were almost right.

Dion’s backers are the Dukes of Martino, but the backers of Claire, who is a foreign student on state visitation, are the Puffit kings. Isn’t that right, Dion?

“Uh, well, yeah…

In the event that you are not a fan of both of them, you can easily dodge Veeck’s crazy theory.

Claire, take care of Vique for me.

I’m sorry,” Claire shrugged apologetically at Lui’s sigh.

I’m sorry. I use transference magic and I’m sure I’ll be back soon.

‘Don’t worry about that Claire. I hope you can get along with the …… Baroness Raine and her family.

Yes!

Lui is sweet on Claire.

“…… Which one?

“Hmmm. Well, I’m off.

I’m sure you’ll be able to understand that I’m not the only one who has a problem with this.

I’m not sure what to say.

I’m not sure if you’ll be able to find the right one for you.

“…… Lady Claire!　You’re here with transference magic.

“Yes. I couldn’t make it to the escort today.

In the event that you’ve got a lot more than one, you’ll be able to get a lot more.

–and at the same time.

“His Highness Vik …….

Although I had informed her in a letter, she probably didn’t expect me to actually come. She opened her mouth to look at Vik, who was standing next to Claire.

I’m here on a business trip. You don’t need any special hospitality.

“Haha …… yes!

Vik was clearly amused. I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know that I’m not the only one who’s a bit of a jerk.

The nostalgic, white brick walls.

The colorful roses blooming in the garden. There are many kinds of roses planted here, and except in the middle of winter, you can enjoy the flowers.

(I think …… the wife was the town girl of a family that ran a flower shop, that’s why the garden is so beautiful.

Recalling a story she had once heard, Claire walked through the nostalgic garden of the mansion where she had spent several months of her first life, and stepped inside the Baron de Laine’s home.

I’m Claire Martino. Thank you for inviting me here today. Please make my acquaintance.

Oh, no.

As I’m sure you know, this is His Highness Prince Vik of Paphiopedilum.

Vik. Nice to meet you.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. I’m not sure if you’ve seen this before. I would like you to treat me as your tutor from now on.

If possible, I’d like to come back to visit them again, and if possible, I’d like to be called by a familiar name.

It seems that Veerak understands Claire’s feelings, and as if to encourage her, he is wearing completely street clothes today. If I tell people that I’m not royalty, but a lad from a nice little place, everyone will believe me.

“You must be Miss Claire Martino. My daughter has been telling me all about you.

Thank you so much for being so good to …… Isabella at the villa the other day. I thank you very much.

He and his wife, who had shown them into the salon, talked amongst themselves. Earlier, she had seemed to be intimidated by Vik’s presence, but she had sensed something in Vik’s clothes and tone, and her face had become bright and vivacious, a face that Claire knew.

From the large window in the salon, she could see the roses in the garden very clearly. Isabella said to Claire, who shifted her gaze slightly and squinted to admire their beauty.

I’m very proud of our garden, Claire. My mother planted each one of these.

She planted each one. Some of them need to be carefully cultivated with purification magic.

This was something she had heard from Baroness Raine in her first life. Claire’s story made the lady’s voice flutter.

I’m so glad we can talk.　I’m glad we can talk!

If you like, I can do the purification magic myself. If you want, I can do the purification magic myself.

“Oh my!

The Baron de Laine hurriedly changed the subject, thinking that this was a bad idea, as the lady’s eyes shone even brighter.

By the way, …… I heard that Miss Claire is a foreign student from Noston. How is life here in Paphiopedilum?

“Hey, you. You can’t seriously answer a question like that in front of the prince of this country. You know, Miss Claire.

Oh, that’s true, too. I’m sorry, please forget it. Hahahaha.

I’m not sure what to say, but I’m not sure what to do. I’m not sure what to say, but I’m going to say it.

No, …… I’m really enjoying my life in the Puffit Kingdom. Actually, I’m planning to stay here after I finish school instead of going back to my country.

“Well. I’m sure your parents will be very sad to see you go.

She looked sadly at me.

For some reason, my father gave his title to my brother. My mother passed away when I was very young. Of course, I miss her, but I keep in touch with my parents through letters. …… Above all, she wishes me happiness.

I’m sure Miss Clare will be excellent at the Royal School. I’m sure she will make a good tutor for Miss Isabella.

The couple seemed to realize that Claire had a complicated background. Still, she nodded without breaking into a smile. They didn’t ask deeply, but warmly accepted her. This was something that Claire loved about the couple.

In the event you’re not sure what you’re looking for, there are a few things you can do.

However,……, as His Highness Vique knows, our family’s reputation in social circles is ……. Miss Claire was treated as a state guest. It’s very kind of you, but to be honest, I’m not sure if you should have any contact with us.

At that moment, there was a light in Vik’s eyes and a tense atmosphere. It was the eyes of the heir to the throne, who could not be ignored.

I’m sure the Raine family was elevated from a noble family to a barony a few years ago. Do you really think that this was due to donations alone?

No, I don’t believe so.

If that’s the case, then please treat Miss Claire as an employer, beyond her status. I can assure you that it would not be disrespectful.

I can feel Baron Raine’s admiration for Veeck, who said it so clearly. The first prince was still young. The first prince was still young and his reputation was well known, but there were probably things he didn’t understand until he actually talked to him.

Claire also felt that she understood why Vik had forced her to come along on this visit. She also understood that everyone else had not accompanied her in order to convince her to “deal with people beyond her status”.

“Thank you, Your Highness, …….

I’m sure you’ll be able to understand why I didn’t go with you to persuade you to go beyond your status.
