A young girl in a village without protection - Chapter 14

Translator: Darling | Editor: Coming soon…

“Come to think of it Lady Sele.”

“What happened Hisui?”

Selesina was thinking about what to do next in her village when Hisui who was pouring her some tea asked with concern.

“There is an evening party today……..is it alright if you don’t prepare for it?”

“_____Ahh.”

‘I cooooompletely forgot about it.’

This is where the villainess gets disqualified.

No, it’s not really disqualification. Isn’t it better to be disqualified though? She was thinking.

When she looked at the clock, she realized that there was sufficient time for her to prepare. That’s good. Relieved, she thanked Hisui for reminding her.

“It’s no good if I only think about the village……..I cannot forget my duties as the daughter of a Marquis.”

“………….I’ll call Anna.”

“Yes. Please do.”

She sighed as Hisui left the room.

Every year during this season, an evening party celebrating fertility is held at the Royal castle.

As the fiancé of the prince, Selesina accompanies him as a partner. Moreover, this is the party where the Heroine and the villainess meet for the first time.

The villainess Selesina spills a drink onto the Heroine’s dress. After that when she tries to trip the Heroine, her move backfires and Soratek interferes and promises to attend to the Heroine.

It was quite gloomy.

‘Right now I want to tend to the village so it would be good if he were to break the engagement quickly.’

The more time that she spends in that event, the worse things get.

It will become difficult for Selesina to find a new fiancé even if it’s Soratek right now. Since she’ll become someone who was dumped by the prince of the country.

“What will happen to me from here on?”

Even though she seemed peaceful on the outside, she was really anxious internally.

Thinking about things going well for her……………she thought about the development in the village. She suddenly realized that the village didn’t have a name.

She had to receive permission from her father to name the village.

“………I must think about it.”

That’s what it is but………..

“My naming sense………”

This was a difficult task. She held her head.

Ever since she reincarnated, she never had an opportunity to name anything. In her previous lifetime, she often named the game characters and territories but………she would often think about them for over 30 minutes with the game screen open in front of her.

“……..I’ll discuss it with Hisui later on.”

She nodded to herself quietly.

After the preparations for the evening party were safely complete, Soratek was in time to pick her up. Since the evening party was held at the Royal castle it would have been fine for him to wait for her there…………she softly muttered. Anna seemed to have heard that because she smiled.

“It’s the role of a man to escort a lady, it’ll be fine to rely on him. After all Prince Soratek really cherishes Lady Selesina.”

“………Yes.”

When she entered the entrance hall, Soratek for waiting for her there.

He was dressed in clothes that were deep blue and black, he seemed to look like a painting just by standing there.

‘Ohh, a real-life Lord Soratek.’

She had seen Soratek in a variety of different clothing but this was the first time that she had seen him in clothes that were from the game event.

‘I’ll soon be dumped so I should enjoy watching him right now…..’

Soratek looked at her and cheerfully called out “Sele.”

“Thank you for coming to pick me up Lord Soratek.”

“That’s alright. I wanted to see you as soon as possible. The dress I gave you suits you very well.”

Selesina was wearing a lovely peach-colored dress. It was a gift from Soratek. The parts of the dress that were embroidered lace went very well Soratek’s clothing.

“Thank you Lord Soratek, it’s really beautiful.”

“Is, is that so? Thank you, Sele.”

Since she told him so honestly, Soratek seemed shy. He looked happy and his cheeks were tinted with a slight blush.

“Shall we go?”

“Yes.”

The softy swaying carriage took them to the castle. They entered inside.

Soratek gently took Selesina’s hand and kissed it.

People immediately noticed but Selesina wouldn’t be defeated.

‘Even though I’m not suitable for Lord Soratek.’

Several nobles came to greet the first prince Soratek.

Selesina smiled cheerfully by his side and looked around to see whether she could spot the Heroine.

“Ah, there.”

She had beautiful pink hair that looked like a flower and she wore a beautiful white dress adorned with lovely ribbons.

She was staring this way and Selesina immediately understood that she was watching Soratek.

Anyone could tell that she was in love with him.

It will be good if he were t quickly break his engagement with me and marry the Heroine, Selesina thought.

It wouldn’t be enough to just look him like that.

It’ll be good if she strikes a conversation with him first.

‘Ah, is it because I’m here that she cannot speak to him?’

Since the person she likes is with another woman it wasn’t something the Heroine would be able to handle. But the greetings weren’t over yet so Selesina couldn’t leave Soratek’s side.

Soratek noticed Selesina’s behavior and gently stroked her head.

“Sele?”

“Yes…….?”

“No, you look drowsy. Are you tired?”

Soratek looked worried as he gently asked her whether it was due to wind outside.

Selesina was apologetic to receive his kindness but she realized that this was a chance. If she separates from Soratek her and goes to the balcony or the courtyard then the Heroine can approach him.

Selesina immediately nods and tells Soratek that she would like to rest for a bit.

“Then let’s go together. If it’s really hard then we can get a room prepared so that you can rest.”

“Ah, no. I’ll be fine on my own Lord Soratek, there are a lot of people who wish to greet you.”

She was trying to tell him not to worry about her but he looked at her and frowned.

“I can’t leave my fiancé alone when she is not feeling well can I ?”

He told Selesina not to worry about anything as a found an opening through the crowd of people and guided her to the courtyard.

Selesina felt the Heroine watching them as Soratek gently escorted Selesina away…
