Chapter 364
Chapter 364
The Duke of Burns and his wife, Trenia, were very pleased to greet the Dukes of Elasenise with Crown Prince David.
Valerie, the villainess in question, is hiding behind her brother Latiga.
Latiga Elasenise" is the one who knows that Valerie and I have memories of our previous lives.
When Valerie regained her memory, she apparently started to do something strange.
When I stopped her from doing so, she told me about her memories of her previous life.
Latiga was skeptical, but he decided to believe her ...... if it would stop his sister Valerie's eccentricities.
Later, he and Valerie were astonished to learn that I had memories of a previous life, but now he has become a good friend and collaborator.
To be honest, he is so sincere that his words and actions make me think that I can trust him more than Valerie .......
Shortly thereafter, he leads the Duke and Duchess to Their Majesties.
And when the greetings between the dukes and their Majesties had settled down, he dared to speak to her in a friendly manner.
"Valerie, if you like, I can show you around."
Well, ...... then, since it's a good opportunity, I might ask Rid to show you around."
She nodded nonchalantly and glanced at David, and his eyebrows twitched.
Then he turned away and coughed deliberately, "Gohon.
"Rid, you'll have to deal with the nobles who are coming. I've got the venue all figured out, so don't worry about it, I'll show her around."
"I'll take care of the rest. ...... Then, may I ask David-sama to take care of this?"
I nodded smilingly and gloated that I had caught on as well as I had expected.
Of course, this process had been arranged in advance with Valerie and the others.
He is slowly beginning to re-evaluate Valerie based on her behavior up to this point.
At the same time, he should have taken it for granted that she would always take care of David.
How about trying ...... once to see how he reacts when someone tries to change that assumption? I suggested to Valerie that she try it once to see how he would react when someone changed his assumptions.
At first, she was skeptical and twisted her head around the proposal.
However, after hearing from Fara, who was present at the discussion, that "I didn't get the impression that David really disliked Valerie," she nodded her head and said she would follow our suggestion.
And here we are.
I was a little worried, but all I could do was hope that Valerie would follow the plan and deepen her friendship with David.
I have asked Rumple and Dirick, who are rabbit tribe members and can hear our conversations from some distance away, to keep an eye on them, so if any problems arise, I should be able to deal with them later.
By the way, Rumple and Dirick are children who are being trained in espionage by Capella.
As I watched with relief as David escorted Valerie away, I noticed that more and more imperial nobles were arriving at the venue.
Yeah, I've almost settled down in dealing with the royal family, so next time I'll have to be careful in dealing with the nobles.
Thinking of this, I met up with Fara and moved to greet the imperial nobles.

Afterwards, the hall was more crowded than expected.
As for this reception, the purpose was to show off the new food culture in addition to the pocket watches and charcoal cars.
That is why we had sent the invitations without much thought to factions such as conservatives, innovators, and neutrals.
In addition to that, it seems that the audience with His Majesty and others at the Imperial Castle led to more publicity than expected.
As a result, it is no exaggeration to say that most of the nobles stationed in the imperial capital gathered.
It was also a happy miscalculation that many of the nobles who came to the reception brought their daughters, who were about the same age as I am.
If they know the taste of the food at the venue, it will surely become a topic of conversation at the tea party and become a rumor.
In other words, I can expect word of mouth.
However, what is a little disturbing is that the young ladies seem to be looking at me.
And Fara also seems to be in a bad mood, perhaps a little anxious, or not in a good mood at all.
Just when I was wondering why, a voice called out to me, "May I come in, Master Rid? I turned around to see a nobleman with the air of a warrior.
And there was a boy about my age standing there.
I was a little surprised to see him, but nodded smilingly.
"Yes, that's fine. What can I do for you, Frontier Count Glade Kelvin-sama?"
When I answered him, Count Grayd's mouth relaxed into a grin.
