Chapter 335
Chapter 335
"This is ...... and above. Thank you all for listening."
Latiga smiled shyly as he said this.
Everyone present, including myself, applauded him.
I was pretending to be calm, but inwardly I was quite upset.
Because the title of the story that Latiga's friend had created was called "The Fluttering Cinderella! and the content of the story was also about a commoner.
The story is about a commoner girl who is picked up by a baron's family, attends an academy for aristocrats, and is discovered by the crown prince because of her good looks and good looks.
There were some differences, but it was definitely a slightly modified version of a story from a game I remembered from a previous life.
This should not be considered a mere coincidence.
In other words, there must be other people in this world who have memories of their previous lives other than me. ......
Just as I was thinking this, Latiga spoke to my father.
"How was it, Rainer-sama? If there is anything that concerns you, I would very much appreciate your opinion."
'Hmmm...... it may not be very helpful, but the story of the baroness being befriended by the crown prince may be a possibility. However, from a practical and political standpoint, the marriage would be difficult. It is not realistic to say that the baroness and the crown prince will be united at the end of the story. It would be more exciting for the story to be a tragic love story, where the feelings are mutual, but they are in a position to do so."
Oh ...... father is surprisingly calmly and coolly expressing his opinion.
I wonder if he likes stories and stuff like that more than I thought.
Then Duke Barnes, who was listening to the conversation, starts laughing.
a ha. Reiner is very serious. But aren't stories interesting precisely because they can't happen in reality? A former commoner baroness becoming the wife of the crown prince is something that could only happen in a story. It is the stories that allow us the experience of that dream. I'm glad you enjoyed it, Latiga.
"Thank you for your valuable input. Master Rainer, . By the way, how did you feel about it, Lady Farah?"
He thanked Duke Barnes and his father, and then turned his attention to Farah.
"Yes, wow, me, ? I think so,......, because in Renalute, it is natural for the royal family to take a wife by their side, even a former commoner baroness can be welcomed into the royal family's side if she is found worthy of it."
Come to think of it, the Kingdom of Renalute is more tolerant than the Empire when it comes to side chambers.
It was Trenia, wife of the Duke of Barnes, who responded to Farah's words.
Soon after, Valerie joined the conversation as if to follow her words.
"Oh, I see, you are from the Kingdom of Renalute, aren't you,......?"
Her eyes blazing, she turned to Duke Burns.
"Father, mother, may we have a moment alone in the other room, please?"
" That's fine with me, but what about you, Rid?"
I nodded, although I had a bad feeling about this.
"Um, I don't mind either, but ......"
"Then it's settled. My brother, Farah, and Rid, let's all go to the other room."
"Hmmm. Then I will have Carlo prepare a room for you."
The father instructed Carlo, the butler, who arrived shortly afterward, to prepare a separate room for us to spend time alone.
And, pushed by Valerie's momentum, we moved to the newly prepared room with Carlo's guidance.
'Well then, Master Rid, Ladies and Gentlemen. Call me if you need anything."
'Yes, thank you. Carlo.'
Carlo answered my reply with a bail and left the room.
The interior of the room I was shown was the same as the one I was in with my father and the others, but there seemed to be playing cards, chess and other playthings in the room.
And now, there are six of us in the room: myself, Fara, Valerie, Latiga, and Diana and Asuna, who are our guards.
Asuna and Diana are staying near the entrance so as not to get in our way, though.
Under such circumstances, I watched to see what Valerie and the others would say.
However, the girls did not say anything that would cause any problems.
To me, it was about the Bardia territory.
To Fara, they only ask about the kingdom of Renalute.
And it was more like they were chatting with each other than playing.
What is the purpose of Valeri and Latiga?
The "story" that Latiga told us earlier is definitely "Cinderella, the Fluttering Cinderella! was a story that was tweaked a little so that it would not be a problem to show it in this world.
In other words, if I reacted to the "story" Latiga told me, I would be seen as a "reincarnated person" or "someone related to a reincarnated person.
Should I dare to react or should I remain silent ......?
When I was thinking about this while chatting and laughing, Valerie suddenly muttered.
I've enjoyed talking to Fara and Rid. Brother, should we go back to our father's place now?
"Yes,I think we should."
I couldn't help but inwardly gasp at their words.
I hurriedly checked my pocket watch secretly, and sure enough, a fair amount of time had passed.
It seems that I was so cautious that my sense of time had become erratic.
Should I take this opportunity to get information about other reincarnations?
Or should I remain silent?
After much deliberation, I made a decision.
"Oh, um, Latiga-sama".
"Yes, what is it?Master Rid?"
He smiled at me with a bright smile, and I asked him with all my heart.
The story you just told us in front of our respective fathers, would it be possible for you to introduce us to the 'friend' of Latiga-sama who invented the story?
...... Heh. I did not know that Master Rid was fond of "stories". But the friend who created the story told me this. If anyone wants to know the creator of "The Story," he asked me to show him this letter and get an answer. ......"
"Oh, right, you want me to look at it and answer?"
Latiga smiled and took a piece of notepaper out of the breast pocket of his jacket and held it out in front of us.
I rolled my eyes when I saw the words.
Fara, sitting next to me, tilted her head and muttered, "
"What does it say? I've never seen these letters before."
"......, right"
I was sure of it as I was humming along.
There is no doubt that the person who taught Latiga the "story", or someone close to him, is a "reincarnated person" with memories of a previous life, just like me.
I was sure that there was a reincarnated person who had memories of my previous life as well as mine, because the note he pulled out of his pocket said in Japanese, "If you can understand these characters, I would like to cooperate with you. The answer should be "Yes" or "No" to the person who presents this note to you.
By the way, the handwriting in Japanese is cute and round.
Perhaps it was a girl who wrote this?
At that moment, Latiga smiled at me.
"So, how about ......? Did I understand the note?"
After wondering what I should do, I made up my mind.
"Well, please tell your friend that my answer was this one."
I said and slowly pointed to the 'yes' on the note.
This was because I was not sure if Latiga and Valerie could understand Japanese.
If Latiga's friend knew that I had pointed to "yes," he would make some kind of move.
That's what I was thinking, but Latiga rolled his eyes and looked at me in a black-and-white way.
"'No way,...... really,.......'
'Yes, uh, ...... what's going on, . Latiga-sama, ?"
What's wrong with you two?"
Fara, who had been watching me puzzled by the reaction he showed, muttered with a puzzled look on her face.
At that time, however, Valerie, who was sitting silently next to Latiga, began to laugh gruffly, covering her mouth with a fan that she had pulled out of nowhere.
"Ahh. I see. I was thinking about the possibility of Reiner and the Dwarves, but I'm glad I hit on the first one."
"E......."
I felt the blood drain from my face as Valerie spoke as if she had instantly changed.
Then, as if to confirm, I looked at Latiga, and he coughed deliberately.
"Well, Master Rid,I am sorry to lie to you, but it was not my friend who wrote that story. It was my sister, Valerie."
"What?!"
I couldn't help but let out an unexpected yell.
Valerie looked at me happily and then muttered,
"Hmmm, that's what I mean. And from your reaction, you know what kind of person I am, right? Haha, as someone who has 'memories of a previous life', I'm looking forward to working with you from now on."
""Na na na na na ......""
I was bewildered by Valerie's triumphant words.
Fara, who was watching this exchange from the side, muttered to herself while tilting her head in puzzlement.
What does 'memories of a previous life' mean, Rid-sama?
E⁉ Well, what should I say? Hahaha ......."
This was an unexpected reveal to Fara.
I was trying hard to think of how to tell her, and Valerie looked at me with a puzzled look.
Oh, dear, you. You haven't told your wife-to-be Fara about this important matter yet?
What?!
"Yes, Rid-sama. What Valerie said is so important?"
Fara, beside me, asks me why Valerie looks so proud of herself.
And Latiga beside her is looking at me sympathetically.
Needless to say, at this point, I was desperately trying to think of what to say and how to say it, while clutching my head.
It was only at such a time that I somehow heard precisely what Diana, who was refraining, muttered, "Hah ...... also, I think Rainer-sama is going to be angry with you."
I was shocked by those words and hung my head even more.
