173 What is heroin? (1/2)

But I can't believe I don't want to see Jime because Jime actually hates me enough to kill me, and that's a dilemma that I can't even say right now.

Besides, when I thought about it carefully, it was also weak enough to make such a loud claim.

That assassination attempt was only because the soldier who actually had me said, ”The Virgin said so.”

When I went to the royal palace, it wasn't because of me, but because the ”Virgin” attached to Lecter was in the way, I didn't think I was trying to erase it, and I saw it through Lolo and Loro, and there were no other witnesses.

All are weak enough to persuade those angry maids.

If they say that it is a ”misunderstanding”, it seems difficult to flip it over.

Yeah, yeah, I was worried, and Liza opened her mouth.

”Of course, like me and those in the infirmary, no one agrees with Anis because the people who are in good contact with her every day know her personality. However, it seems that a small number of people who have been in contact with Jime-sama longer than usual believe Jime-sama's arguments. He seems to be very loving. But when that Jime-sama told me about Anis, I felt slightly different from the actual Anis she said, so I believe in my own eyes rather than the Jime-sama story. Maybe Jime-sama misunderstood Anis a little bit.”

That's what Liza said and smiled at me.

”Liza... thank you for understanding ~ uuu”

I was unexpectedly happy and began to cry. This elderly, reliable woman was not taken in by the jade. That's what I'm really happy about.

”Oh, well, don't cry like that. It means that some people are watching properly. People in the infirmary also say that Anis is always happy to spare no effort for the infirmary and is a very good person. We know that Anis-sama is not cold to people for no reason. It's still a short time, but if you work together every day and look closer, you'll see. However, even if you think so, you won't argue as loudly as those young maids.”

”Liza.....”

Oh, there was someone who was watching. There are people who understand.

That's really... I'm really glad.

I was concerned about all the people who insisted loudly, but when I looked calmly, the people who had appealed directly to me were still a minority compared to the total number of people in the castle.

It's getting a little more and more.

But in the words of Liza, I realized that I had a role to play in this castle, that there were situations that needed to be done, and that many people now accept me as my place.

My place. This is a good place to stay.

I had always felt rooted in this world, but here is where I am and the role I am expected to play.

As a matter of fact, I'm a temporary mistress, but I'll do my best while I'm still in that position. Let's get this straight. Let's do our best for everyone.

I was happy enough to unintentionally consolidate my determination.

Even the characters in cartoons and novels can be allies, but they are enemies until the end.

If we win, it's just a government army, both of which must be acting for their own justice.

I will do my best in my present position.

In other words, I am now constantly checking Lecter's safety, doing my work here as a mistress, and playing my role as a saint.

Indeed, there was a feeling of mutual understanding with the castle people since we first came here. At first, it was superfluous, but now I feel that it has been accepted as a family and as a companion. I guess the point is I'm getting used to it.

Does Jaime know that, as the mistress here, I arrange everything from jade life, which is a prisoner, to meal menus, to maids?

The maid can be replaced if I want to, but then there will be dissatisfaction from the maid who has been replaced, and the conclusion is that the new maid will only be brought in by her again and no change has been made.

Everything is decided in consultation with Liza and is never done with malice or grudge.

Smooth castle operation. Judgment for that.

In the meantime, regular potion making and healing magic in the infirmary. Well, it's just a little black smoke. But putting a little bit of a big gesture in there is, well, sales effort. I'm sure you don't want to have a magic trick on you.
