Chapter 38 – Part 1
People who had always been busy moving around the mansion were all gathered on the first floor today. On top of that, the maids and the servants lined up in two lines to greet me—in a very loud voice.
“Good morning, Miss Mariette!”
“Princess, good morning!”
“Did you have a good dream today?”
I widened my eyes in surprise. Everyone was staring at me and I had no idea why.
Unlike usual, I hadn’t been able to wash my face as soon as I woke up. I couldn’t hide my embarrassment, so I buried my face in my father’s shoulder and hid from them. But it wasn’t only the servants who were acting strange.
Dante was more tender than usual, not to mention Pihne, Lucy, and Luna. The same was true for Aaron. Additionally, Hilla started to worry about me, telling me that I shouldn’t get sick again.
‘Is this a dream? Or a trick to make fun of me?!’
Otherwise, everyone’s focus shouldn’t be completely focused on me. Yesterday was strange, and today was weirder than yesterday.
But this was only the beginning. People’s attention to me was more intense after I washed clean with warm water and wore the second dress I chose yesterday.
“Our one and only Princess Descartes! Today’s dessert for Lady is a three-tiered cake!”
Gordon made an adult-sized cake for breakfast. Moreover, I could hear them saying ‘Princess’ and ‘our one and only Princess’ wherever I went. Eventually, I ran to the garden as soon as I took the medicine Hilla gave me.
“Phew.” I rubbed my forehead with the back of my hand as if wiping away a cold sweat. “Indeed, Dad’s house isn’t an ordinary place.”
But strangely, I didn’t feel bad. There was a mushy feeling in my heart…
“But it was overwhelming.”
It was so awkward for people to treat me like a princess.
[Ma-rie-tte!]
I was very nervous that either Aaron or Pihne had followed after me, but it was a ball of black that was running from the far end of the garden while lightly calling my name. It was Kuhn.
“Kuhn!”
[You came out early. You were sick all night.] Kuhn looked around me as if he knew everything.
“Huh? Did you come to my room?”
[No, I looked at you through the window. Duke Descartes was guarding your room the whole time with a terrifying energy, so I couldn’t get in.]
I nodded my head as I remembered my Dad who was by my side all night. “Hmm, I think he was worried about me. He said my body was aching all over.”
[You were sick yesterday because you unleashed your magical power.]
“Still, I didn’t feel any pain.”
[It will get better.]
I sat down on my knees to stroke Kuhn. “That’s a relief. I don’t want to worry everyone.”
[That’s not your fault.]
“But still. Ah right. You know, I dreamed of Mom. It was very vivid.”
[I see.]
“Hmm. Kuhn, shall we practice magic today?
[Great! Because the stronger your power, then the stronger the power I will have to protect you. I will always welcome it.]
“Oh, and I have been thinking about that place I went to with Arumia yesterday. I told you someone said His Holiness was that white-haired man. I think I may have been to the temple.”
[The temple?]
“Hmm, it was an all-white room. Though I don’t know where that is.”
[An uninvited guest appears.]
At that moment, Kuhn’s gaze turned to my back, not me.
“Kid, is that cat yours?
It was the high-pitched voice that made me feel a bit off-put. Kuhn was looking in the direction of two people, the siblings she’d seen before.
‘Ugh, that’s right. The vassals haven’t returned yet.’
I would have just stayed in the main building if I had known this would happen. But the praises were too embarrassing.
The brother and sister pair were wearing clothes that looked brighter than yesterday. Was it because they had bright blond hair and blue eyes? They looked good in bright clothes.
“…”
I didn’t answer and just stared at them, but the girl wearing a hat approached me.
“I’m asking if that cat is yours.”
I wasn’t happy that they showed up out of nowhere just to ask this, but I still nodded my head. “Yeah.”
Then, the girl’s eyes turned to Kuhn.
“Is this really your cat?”
“Yeah.”
The girl put her finger to her lips and tilted her head. “Isn’t it just a stray cat? It’s also ominously black.”
I retracted my gaze and only looked at Kuhn. “Kuhn is not a stray cat.”
Kuhn may look just like a cat to ordinary people, but he was a guardian—my guardian.
“Ey, but it is. His fur is short, so it doesn’t look good, and above all, his eyes aren’t blue. This is the first time I’ve seen a yellow-eyed cat.”
“…”
[Mariette, look at her,] Kuhn kindly informed me despite being cursed at.
I nodded my head instead of answering since they wouldn’t be able to hear Kuhn’s voice. I was about to go to the main building with Kuhn, ignoring the girl’s words, but she stood in my way and hindered me.
Regardless of my slightly irritated expression, the girl stretched out her finger and pointed to Kuhn. “Can I touch it?”
[Don’t wanna! She dares! Mariette, absolutely not! Only you can touch me!]
Kuhn almost sounded contemptuous. I also didn’t want to entrust Kuhn to a girl I didn’t know.
“…No.”
