Chapter 11 – I discovered the truth
A few days after safely co the tea party, Mary cah, Mary seeetables for the sake of my field What a kind child!
Talking with her, I discovered that ere the saic power,with She see, but smiles can finally be seen
And then, my field was completely resurrected by Mary who came to visit many times over
“Mary Really, thank you Thanks to you, the field has become completely healthy”
I thanked Mary while looking at the recovered field
“No, it’s because Katarina-sama has worked very hard”
Mary said so while sht to behold
“Man, I thought they ht, Mary is really a”
“……No, nothing of the sort”
Although Mary is being hu plants, and after coe of death have been revitalized Mary’s hands are special That’s right, about these type of hands, they were called…
“Mary, you have a green thumb!”
“……Green thumb?”
“Yep, a green thu plants!”
“……Special talent……”
“Yeah, Mary’s just overfloith talent when it co plants!”
I was squeezing both of her hands as I was saying so Mary was staring wide-eyed at her clenched hands
“……My hands are special……”
“Yep, you and your green thu, special existence!”
I said so while s, and Mary cracked a faint smile as well Her s
“Katarina-sama, the field has returned to a healthy state, but…… if it’s okay with you, is it alright if I coain?”
“Of course, you’re more than welcome to come over and play anytime”
I told the somewhat reserved Mary that she was “very, very welcohed happily
“Having a green thu”
As I sent off Mary, Keith who had been left alone standing by my side quietly up until now spoke up
“Indeed, so plants is quite a person”
“Yes, that’s right I read a book a long tio titled “The Girl with the Green Thumb,” has nee-san also read this book?”
“Uh… I don’t think I’ve read that book…… I don’t quite remember how I knew about it”
For so Mary I wonder where I knew about it from?
“Well anyways, Mary has becoht now”
“That’s right At first, she was really scared of me”
“Eh, she was scared of nee-san?”
“……Yeah, it must be the fault of my villainous face”
I htly to the shocked Keith I hate this villainous face that I’ve inherited froenes
“……Saying it’s a villainous face…… I don’t think any such thing…… Also, I don’t think Mary-sama was only scared of nee-san It felt that way noto”
“……Eh, was that so?”
“Yeah, she gave off a super nervous feeling with everyone she met…… There must be various circumstances at home that caused her to completely lose her self-confidence”
“……Various circumstances? Like what?”
I thought it was quite a mystery while Keith looked at me as if I was insane
“What exactly did nee-san even do at the Hunt family’s tea party? You should have heard about all this at the tea party”
“……Uh…”
After I finishedabout how to take the sweets ho the sweets that I wouldn’t be able to take home As such, I barely even participated in the tea party Well, at least I didn’t get into any trouble Rather, it was kind of a strategy of sorts Yeah, let’s go with that
Keith as staring at h Er, I feel kinda sorry now, my stepbrother
And then, Keith told me the story he had heard at the tea party
It seems that, as for the four Hunt sisters, the first three have the saest child Mary’s mother is the second wife After his first wife died of all illness, Mary’s mother entered the family as the second wife However, it seeh status, so Marquis Hunt’s ree was not very welcome Moreover, even Mary’s mother was married over her objection, and also died of illness when Mary was five Although the re Mary was cherished by her father, it seems that sparks often fleeen Mary and her sisters
As such, it sees like “your blood is low status” or “you have no class” from her sisters every day
“……So, that’s why, Mary seemed to be so nervous at first”
Certainly, if you heard your relatives saying bad things about you every day, your self-confidence would disappear If you think yourself to be useless, then appearing in front of people could very well be frightening
“But, it seeed quite a lot, Mary-saht now”
Keith said so with a face as if he knew everything for some reason He looked so self-assured that I wondered if he knew soh I asked, he seehtly
My stepbrother that was at first just bouncing around behind me when he first came here, had somehow completely matured in just a few months
He is desperately working hard in both etiquette andbrother that “you don’t have to hurry up and becoet as much power as fast as possible in order to protect what’s irown-up look Honestly, I’ve even become a bit lonely Moreover, he wouldn’t even tellcompletely left out here
“Coement to Prince Alan to be determined”
“…Oh, really?”
I responded hatever see I could have a cute little brother for a bit longer, he’s already beco an adult…… Moreover, what could he possibly want to protect It couldn’t be, does he already have someone he likes!? Hey now, first of all, please introduce her properly to onee-chan! I won’t forgive her if she seems too weird……
……Huh? What did Keith say just now?
“……Keith What did you just say?”
“……Nee-san”
Keith ain I’m so sorry
“I was saying, it’s about tiement to Prince Alan to be determined”
“……Eh? Mary is getting engaged to who……??”
“It’s Prince Alan Prince Jared’s younger twin brother, the fourth prince of this country”
“!?”
