The Grand Duchess Is Defeated Again Today - The Grand Duchess Is Defeated Again Today chapter 109

109 – The princess prepares.

There is no one busier than the bride who is about to get married.

Although I don’t know who made the sentence, at least Rebecca felt the power of that sentence painfully.

“······Dorothy.”

“Did you call, ma’am?”

“Wasn’t making me a doll last time enough?”

No wonder, because Dorothy, her maid, has already changed her earrings eight times.

I had been tired since yesterday because of the fact that the wedding was today, but I felt like I was dying to play with Dorothy’s doll again.

“Ahh, the lady too. It’s a doll. I’m just doing this because I want the lady to be the prettiest today.”

“······I know that too.”

Of course, it wasn’t that Dorothy couldn’t understand her feelings.

From Dorothy’s point of view, it was the wedding of the first lady she ever cared for and the one she spent her childhood with.

It was not unreasonable that she wanted to imprint her on everyone who came to her wedding, and she could understand that much.

“Still, this is too much. You’re not going to change the earrings 15 times like the last time, right?”

“······How did you know?”

It’s just that Dorothy’s passion went way beyond that.

“You’re right.”

“Couldn’t you, miss?”

“Of course not.”

“····.”

Dorothy made a sullen expression at her firm refusal.

“Don’t act again. I won’t let you down.”

“······It’s a pity. In the past, you suffered a lot.”

And I already knew that it was Dorothy’s act to change her mind.

“Your lady has changed a lot too. It must be because of Prince Albert, right?”

“······Probably.”

“Eh. Prince Albert isn’t always helpful.”

Dorothy smiled mischievously.

“Still, I like the current lady better.”

“····.”

“The old lady always gave off a cold vibe, so it was difficult to approach.”

“······Really?”

“This must also be thanks to Prince Albert, right? Thinking like this has helped me well enough.”

Well, that’s right. Dorothy nodded her head.

She knew that Dorothy was right.

Because she was the one who changed, and she was herself.

Even if she looked in the mirror right away, her relaxed expression showed that she had changed from the past.

After she met a man named Albert, after meeting her fiancé for the first time, whom she only knew by name.

I knew better than anyone that she was slowly but surely starting to change.

“Aren’t you angry?”

“Are you angry?”

“The young lady really hates losing to Gongja.”

“Yes.”

“Then, isn’t this also defeated by Young master? The lady changed because of Young master.”

“······Is that so?”

She nodded her head at a pretty plausible idea.

Even if she thought about it, it was as if she had been completely defeated.

From noble mtl dot com

Her life itself has changed because of a man named ‘Alberger Nias’.

To put this a little extreme, it meant that her life was in the hands of her fiancé.

“Maybe.”

“So, how are you feeling, ma’am?”

“······Not bad.”

But, even so, she wasn’t in a bad mood.

“Really?”

“Yes. For some reason I feel that way.”

It was very strange.

She hates the word defeat to death. Even though she’s sure to be defeated, she doesn’t feel bad.

If she had heard this story from the past, it was news that she might have collapsed in shock.

“You’ve changed a lot, ma’am.”

“······That’s right.”

Come to think of it, everything was strange when she first met her fiancé.

She was harsh with others, but not rude, and she set an edge on her fiancé from the beginning.

So is her fiancé who, despite setting her day in that way, eventually captivated her heart.

Even though her heart is captured, she herself is rather happy.

Everything was strange.

“But I don’t think it’s bad.”

And, because everything about her was strange, she was who she is today.

The present happy feelings existed because everything was strange.

There is a saying.

A normal person is said to be abnormal in a place where everyone is abnormal.

Odd words from unknown sources and not sure what lesson they are trying to convey.

She and her fiance were abnormal.

I could never say it was normal even with nice words.

Because I wouldn’t call an engaged relationship that fights from the first meeting normal.

Besides, it has been abnormal ever since.

While the other betrothed nobles got along well or had business hours, she and her fiancé fought for a match on a fictitious day.

It was never normal to bet life and death on a simple match like chess to win the game and hit the opponent in the head.

She knew this, and Albert, her fiancé, knew it too.

In this way, abnormal things continued.

A repetition of events that ordinary people cannot say is absolutely normal.

In the midst of that repetition, our feelings for each other grew little by little without being aware of it.

When I finally realized it.

She said.

I must have had feelings for you from the beginning.

Her fiancé had said.

Me too. I fell in love with you from the first meeting.

The seed called light crush slowly sprouted through countless fights.

It came to fruition today.

“My lady, aren’t you nervous?”

“······Slightly?”

It’s called a little bit, but in fact, it’s a very nervous wedding.

At her words of being a little nervous, Dorothy laughed.

“I’m glad you said you were nervous.”

“Why?”

“Well, if you’re not nervous, that means she doesn’t think the wedding is very important.”

“······Is that so?”

“Yes. It makes no sense. I know how much the lady likes Prince Albert.”

“Really?”

If this had been the same before, she would have been frightened, but now she just smiled slightly.

Because it was a fact that had already been acknowledged.

I’m very resentful, but it’s because I just admitted it.

Because she has already admitted that she loves her fiancé more than anyone else.

So, she only smiled slightly.

“Oh, remember that?”

“Huh?”

“I saw when the young lady and Young master, who were always fighting, kissed on the cheek.”

“········ Ah.”

Thinking about it, something like that happened.

It was the first time I made a bet with a wish, not a simple bet like overnight.

The fact that her fiancé, who won there, suddenly made a wish for a kiss on the cheek.

“How surprised I was then.”

“····.”

“I was worried that we would be able to get married because the two always fought, but the relationship developed to that extent without my knowledge.”

“······Uh, um.”

“How happy I was to know that our lady and Young master weren’t that stupid.”

I decided not to bring out the voice of truth that was lingering in my mouth.

I didn’t want to break the illusion of Dorothy, but I felt very embarrassed to tell the truth.

I’m not a child at all.

Someone who asks for a kiss on the cheek to say he won a bet, or one who grants it.

Even now that she thinks about it, she and her fiancé seem childish to the world.

Dorothy’s words went on and on.

“And to think that the young lady and the young master decided to get married like this. I don’t even know if this is real.”

“So good?”

“Of course! It’s the lady’s wedding, not anyone else’s.”

“But I won’t change my earrings anymore.”

“······Sheesh.”

I wonder if it happened, but Dorothy shows the same reaction as expected.

“Foot.”

At that consistent appearance, laughter burst out.

“Oh, lady! Remember that laugh!”

“Huh? All of a sudden?”

“Yes! I’m not really lying, it was like a goddess came down to this world!”

“Dorothy, are you doing that too?”

She hadn’t quite gotten used to the fact that her fiancé spit her embarrassing words at her, and now even her Dorothy seemed to be thinking of spitting her embarrassing words at her.

“No! It’s not a lie, it’s the truth! Even Gongja-nim, seeing the young lady just now, would admit defeat right away?”

“······Was that enough?”

“Yes! When did you lose money because the young lady listened to me?”

“····.”

She thought about it for a moment, but she didn’t seem to remember having suffered any loss by listening to Dorothy’s words.

“Okay, I’ll remember.”

“Of course! At least today is the day the lady has to win against Gongja-nim!”

“Thanks, Dorothy.”

“hehehehe.”

“Is it over now?”

“Yes! As you can see, I’m sure anyone will tell you that you’re pretty!”

Dorothy said that she must be beautiful now.

It was a very happy compliment, but in fact, there were some excessive parts.

“It’s fine.”

“Really?”

“Yes, I only need to look good to one person today.”

Today she had only one person to beat.

It wouldn’t matter if I showed her beautiful side to just one person, only that one person.

“Are you ready, miss?”

“······Of course.”

Finally, Rebecca made her preparations.

I promise once again that I will never lose today.
