Baby Princess’ Survival Diary - Chapter 34

“This is the social status you mentioned.”

 

“Thank you, Shane.”

 

“It’s nothing.”

 

Shane smiled and bowed and left the room.

 

“Serina.”

 

– If I see it first— I think I’ll get angry. Let’s take a look together.

 

“Ung.”

 

The more I turned each page, the more ridiculous it got.

 

I knew that the current social situation was favorable to the fake princess.

 

The center of the social world is bound to be a woman, and there is no woman in the current social circle who is in a higher position than a fake princess.

 

I knew she would have complete control, but this was too much.

 

“This is—”

 

[Almost like a tyrant.]

 

At Driane’s words, Serena and I nodded.

 

The fake princess was a tyrant in society.

 

Those who didn’t listen to her were thoroughly buried, and only those who were advantageous to her were building a social circle.

 

I heard that a Count’s Young Lady, who spoke the wrong word, was completely buried and had been forced out of the territory.

 

Even Young Ladies who were knowledgeable  gradually drifted away from social circles.

 

“It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that the family was affected like what Iena Young Lady said.”

 

Serina nodded her head. Then she said with a puzzled look on her face.

 

– This X is crazy, isn’t she?

 

[Watch what you say!]

 

Driane shouted at Serina.

 

X seemed to be a bad word, too.

 

– I’m sorry—.

 

“No, but what do you mean by ‘crazy’?”

 

– ….I’m really sorry.

 

Crazy seemed to mean something bad. I opened my mouth, trying to forget.

 

“I’ll forget it.”

 

– Ung… I’m so speechless that I…

 

Serina scratched her head embarrassedly.

 

– Social circles—. I told you. It’s a battlefield without swords.

 

“Ung.”

 

She said it negatively, but that’s how the social world is supposed to be. No matter how high or low in power or position, there is only one place where people are ranked according to their actions in the social world, so the balance is right.

 

I understood what it meant. In the generation just above her, the queen of society was the Viscountess.

 

Although the fake princess was in an advantageous position, it was a really advantageous position.

 

– It’s meant to monopolize society with power.

 

Serina ruffled her hair and continued speaking.

 

– How do I deal with this when I get back to my original body?

 

Serina, with a complex look on her face, sighed.

 

– Apart from my reputation, it’s no joke to change the social world.

 

[Is it that important?]

 

Nadia snapped its tail on the floor as if it was annoying.

 

In the meantime, I was busy preparing for the tea party, so I didn’t play with Nadia, and Nadia seemed dissatisfied that I didn’t play again because we were discussing the social world.

 

– This is the path Lione should take in the future, of course it is important.

 

Serina said firmly, and looked at me.

 

– There are still five years left before Lione goes out into the social world, so before that, I hope to be able to balance a little—.

 

Serina bit her fingers as if nervous.

 

She said it was a habit she had in her previous life.

 

“Serina, hand.”

 

It’s translucent, so it doesn’t affect much, but I said firmly.

 

Serina flinched and put her hand down.

 

“Why don’t we invite these people to our tea party regularly?”

 

Serina nodded as she pointed to the list of Young Ladies who had been pushed out of the social world.

 

– Then a new faction could be formed.

 

“Faction?”

 

– Yes. There are factions in the social world too. If you consistently invite these people to form a faction, the leader of this faction will be you, Lione.

 

Suddenly my shoulders became heavy. A leader of a faction. It seemed a position that was too heavy for me.

 

“There are many Young Ladies who have been in the social world longer than me, wouldn’t it be strange for me to become a leader?”

 

– A leader is someone who makes it possible to form a faction. In this case, Lione will play that role.

 

“…Will I be able to do well?”

 

– Don’t worry. Lione, you had your first tea party without difficulty.

 

“The party would have been impossible without Shane and Serina.”

 

– Everyone’s first time is helped by others.

 

“….”

 

– There are many people who ruin the party while receiving the help, and many people leave everything to helpers.

 

Serina came close to me and looked me in the eye.

 

– Lione made her own decision and made the party great. Great enough.

 

Serina, who spoke firmly, looked into my eyes and continued.

 

– How about Lione?

 

“….”

 

– How?

 

“Amazing—”

 

When I spoke with my face burning red, Serina nodded her head as if satisfied.

 

– Lione is amazing, so you can do it.

 

Serina smiled brightly.

 

My body was twisted by the excessive praise.

 

– Come on, it takes a lot of preparation to have a tea party. Don’t be shy, look at this, Lione.

 

“Ung.”

 

– First of all, we have to decide how often we’ll have a party.

 

I wrote down Serina’s words. There was quite a lot to prepare.

 

“I must tell my father, my older brother, and Jerion.”

 

– Ah. That’s right.

 

Serina nodded at my words.

 

– I’ll make a plan and show it to the Duke.

 

I nodded at Serina’s words.

 

******

 

“You’re going to have tea parties regularly?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“I heard from Shane. You seem to care about the social situation.”

 

I didn’t put it in the plan, but my father seemed to recognize it right away.

 

“Yes.”

 

I nodded and answered, and my father said with a slightly troubled look.

 

“I’m a little worried.”

 

“I can do it.”

 

“That’s not what I meant.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“It doesn’t matter if you’re good or bad. I’m just worried that you might get hurt. Social circles—there are too many people who talk nonsense.”

 

My father sighed as he put me on his lap.

 

Come to think of it, I heard that there are many rumors about Biherville.

 

I wonder if my father was hurt by those words.

 

Feeling sorry for him, I dug into my father’s arms.

 

“If you’re hurt, come to me anytime.”

 

“I’ll come to you even if I don’t get hurt!”

 

“Yeah.”

 

My father smiled and patted me on the head.

 

“You’ll need people there to have tea parties periodically. Do you have anyone in mind?”

 

“Yes!”

 

“Give me a list. I’ll arrange it as much as I can.”

 

“Thank you, father!”

 

I smiled brightly and hugged my father tightly.

 

Jerion and Oraboni also supported me.

 

Jerion complained that he didn’t have time to play with Nadia, just like Nadia, but encouraged him, saying that he would be able to do well soon.

 

Just like Nadia, Jerion complained because I had no time to play with him, but he encouraged me by saying that I would do well.

 

So that’s how it was decided to hold a tea party once every two weeks.

 

******

 

The Duke of Biherville began to hold tea parties periodically.

 

The main guests were the Young Ladies who had been far removed from the current social circle.

 

“You use a clever method.”

 

Noel looked at the papers with a smile.

 

After the social world became a mess, it was the same with the imperial family, who was struggling with how to deal with this.

 

It would be good for the Crown Prince to welcome the wife, but it was not easy to meet the wife.

 

It also took a long time in the first place because it was necessary to thoroughly investigate everything from the family’s tendencies to the background of growth.

 

But now that the social world is in a mess, it has become even more ambiguous.

 

The imperial family keeps the aristocracy in check, but it should not come to the surface.

 

That was the reason that if the empress was welcomed by the imperial sect, the empress was welcomed by the aristocratic sect.

 

However, such a neutral method didn’t work to solve this mess of social world.

 

Although they’re an aristocrat, they had to find Young Lady who was in agreement with the imperial family this time, but it was not as easy as it sounds.

 

“I didn’t expect Biherville to step forward.”

 

Noel nodded at Jadel’s words.

 

“Because from generation to generation Biherville was not interested in that kind of thing.”

 

However, before, it used to be a level of care.

 

However, after the disappearance of the Duchess and Imperial Knight, Dame Rosina Biherville, they completely lost interest in the social world.

 

It was because countless rumors circulated immediately after Dame Rosina disappeared.

 

“Perhaps that’s what Biherville Young Lady do.”

 

Noel nodded and said.

 

“In Biherville today, the only person who cares about the social world is the Young Lady.”

 

“It’s great. I think I want to see her once?”

 

At Jadel’s words, Noel’s eyes narrowed.

 

At Noel’s gaze, Jadel slowly turned his head and spoke.

 

“By the way, what happened to Princess Enotis when you saw it and said it was strange?”

 

“…I still look for more information about it.”

 

“What’s strange about it?”

 

“It’s too early to say.”

 

“Don’t do that, let me know. This Hyung is so curious about it.”

 

Noel kept his mouth shut.

 

“Ah. What is it?”

 

As Jadel worked, Noel let out a long sigh and slowly opened his mouth.

 

“When I saw the Princess before— I just felt an energy that I had never felt before.”

 

“What energy?”

 

Instead of answering, Noel drew a formula in the air.

 

Only then did Noel answer, blocking the sound from leaking out.

 

“Magic energy. It’s also on the black magic side.”

 

Jadel’s mouth open.

 

“That’s why, I’ll look into it a little more.”

 

Jadel’s opened mouth was not easily closed.

 

Princess Enotis was a person with divine powers. It was impossible to feel the energy of black magic.

 

“Let’s investigate it.”

 

“That’s what I said.”

 

Jadel managed to come to his senses and Noel nodded at what he said.

 

He wasn’t sure either. It was harder to be sure because he couldn’t feel the energy of the divine power.

 

“I can’t figure it out right away. Maybe— it will take years.”

 

“Does it take that long?”

 

“It’s easy to think of divine power and black magic as opposite concepts at first glance, but when you look at them one by one, power is embodied in a similar way. Of course, if you’ve ever felt the energy of divine power and black magic, things will be easier, but even if you don’t know black magic, so you can’t feel it.”

 

“That’s bad.”

 

“In that sense, don’t look for me for a while. I’m busy.”

 

Jadel said, nodding his head.

 

“All right. I won’t look for anything else unless it’s about Princess Beherville.”
