Chapter 6
The tea party was being hosted by the royal palace.
Even I, as the daughter of a duke, couldn’t help but get fired up. What’s more, today was a sunny day, perfect weather for giving that country b.u.mpkin my grand trial in a public venue! I’m going to stand out! I will! At the tea party! I will stand out more than anyone!
“Hehe, haha, hehehehehehe.”
I was in a good mood as I wore a dark red dress. Even though it’s also red like the dress that little girl wore before, the cla.s.s is different. There’s subtle differences. The refinement is different! My hair accessories are also first cla.s.s. It’s completely different from that little girl’s shabby handmade accessories! More important than anything, they were all designed specially for me, so they go really well with me. They really go so well with me!
“Rosewood ojou-sama, that look really suits you.”
“Of course. I’m the most beautiful person in the world. My cla.s.s is different from that country b.u.mpkin, it’s different!!”
“Rosewood ojou-sama…… please calm down……”
“Ha, what a joke!”
The weather’s sunny today. A perfect day for giving that little girl Hendra her trial. My preparations are complete…… Or so it seems to me but, well, for a little girl like her it should be enough.
The tea party at the royal palace took place during afternoon under the gentle sunshine. Since I had recently been having tea parties often as well, I was chatting energetically.
Then, they arrived.
While chasing a small bird, Hendra and Heath ran into the venue together. And then all the girls suddenly became quiet, and looked at me inquiringly.
When Hendra realized this, she raised her voice.
“Ah! E, everyone! Uhh, well! This is! Uh! I just happened to meet His Highness in the royal garden by coincidence! Definitely! There wasn’t! Anything dirty! Ah, Rosewood-sama is glaring at me……! I’m scared!”
As always, she was so loud. Disgraceful. What on earth does Heath see in this thing. The way this blonde kept stuttering and flailing about made her almost seem like a badly controlled puppet. Also, you shouldn’t be scared of me. You should be terrified.
In my disgust, I was about to escape from here but, I still had a role to play as the “n.o.ble girl villainess” and a trial that I had to give to Hendra.
This is a chance to use the item that I had prepared and hidden on me, so I confronted Hendra.
“You thieving cat!”
My lines were perfect too. Then, I dumped the contents of the large bottle of ink I had onto Hendra.
Ink, it’s because of Riley’s plan. At first, I had prepared horse urine to use on Hendra but, her advice was that it lacked the elegance of n.o.bility. In the demon empire, I had often used cerberus urine to humiliate enemy generals, but it seems that such a thing is not befitting my status as a “n.o.ble girl.” Hendra was shaking all over after she became pitch-black from the ink.
“S, such a thing! How terrible! Completely black!!”
I felt pleased at hearing the miserable cry of distress. Then, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across my mind.
“Bullying is uncool!”
Huh……!?
Uncool, what!?
The bolt had been a memory from my first life. My memories from the first life that have helped me over and over again! The fragments of memory sent to me by the heavens! Of all things, my memory would tell me, it’s uncool, uncool, what!?
Uncool!?
I’m!
Rosewood Gemyar Hendrix Torandora Golbez Yusemode Tehentara Lilisha El-Dorago Mendona Tenpatear Yatsugare Ryuo Hagon Shido Zoma Estark Despisaro Gema Mirdorasu Mudo Destamua Olgomira Dormagess Rapson Elgeos Teherzargo Gorgonzola Madwood Divadatta Iceberg!
I’m the king of the demon empire!
Because I wanted the name of Demon King, I spent my whole last life on the path of inhumanity and atrocity, and led a life of debauchery!
Uncool, what……!?
“!!!!”
I fled from the tea party as fast as I could. A torrent of tears was coming from my eyes.
Riding my horse that had been tethered close by, I headed for my mansion at top speed.
“Riley! Riley was wrong!”
“Yes, ojou-sama.”
“Riley! Riley! Rileyyyyyy!”
I collapsed, and I just kept crying there.
“What happened, ojou-sama?”
“Hurry up already and bring me some blood! Blood!”
“Right now, we only have lamb’s blood……”
“Fine! I’ll take all of it! Bring it to me in barrels! I’ll permit it even if you empty the storage! Anyways, right now, I! Want! Blood to drink as I bathe in it!”
“Sigh…… As you wish, ojou-sama.”
