[Farnese’s point of view]
“You’ve got to be kidding me, ……!”
There was no way that His Highness Claude could lose.
It was absolutely impossible.
But …… it has become a reality.
(Could it be that …… I’m in a lot of trouble?)
In times like this, the best thing to do is to run away.
Just run away now, and then you can plan your countermeasures later. ……
“Yes. Farnese sama! Please come forward!”
Alicia called me.
“…………”
“Huh? Farnese sama?”
I was in the middle of the audience and tried to sneak away.
I kept my posture low so that Alicia wouldn’t see me. ……
[Ah! Farnese sama is trying to run away]
[Don’t run away! Farnese-sama!]
[Farnese-sama’s naked …… shoo!]
My cronies start to make a fuss.
(No way! ……? You betrayed me ……)
I’ve done so much for you until now, ……!
My cronies turned their backs on me.
“Farnese sama? Are you trying to escape? Please come this way quickly!”
Alicia called out in a happy voice.
“I-I’m not trying to escape! I’m coming over to you right now ……!”
(Uggh……! I’m pissed off. ……!)
You’re a commoner and you’re telling me what to do. ……
I (reluctantly) go to the dueling arena.
“So, what is it? What do you want from me ……?”
“Eh? Did you forget ……?”
Alicia looks surprised.
“I forgot what ……?”
I’m going to play it off like this.
Yeah. I didn’t promise anything.
I forget everything (unfortunate things)…!
“I’m talking about betting. Are you pretending to forget ……?”
(…… Ugh!)
Alicia is coming on to me.
I’m going to have to pretend to forget and get through this ……!
“I think you and Sid san have agreed on a pledge magic.”
“P-pledge magic ……? What are you talking about ……?”
“There should be an imprint of the covenant magic on Farnese sama’s left hand.”
“No, there is no such thing. ……!”
I immediately hide my left hand.
Indeed, there is a pledge stamped on my left hand.
“Now, let me see your left hand.”
Alicia grabbed my left hand.
“No. Why should I show my hand to you, ……?!”
“Phew……. Are you sure you want to do this, Farnese-sama ……?”
Alicia looks at her in dismay.
(Even though you are just Alicia…what are you planning on doing?!)
I’m getting more and more pissed off.
“I-If I touch you, a commoner, my hands will rot! Don’t touch me…! ”
I shook off Alicia’s hand,
“Idiooooootttt…..!”
“Hii……!”
His Majesty the King, who was watching the exchange between me and Alicia, lost his temper.
“To think that you would normally discriminate against commoners…! Are you really the daughter of a marquis? You idiot!”
“I-I’m sorry ……!”
I am scolded by His Majesty the King.
(Why am I being scolded?)
It was all His Highness Prince Claude’s fault for losing to a sub-baron and a commoner!
“Show your left hand quickly. This is a royal order!”
“Ugh…I understand ……. I will show you.”
If His Majesty the King says so, I have no choice.
I show my left hand to His Majesty the King.
“Hmmm. It is true that there is an engraving of a pledge. Then, what did you pledge?”
“Well, that’s ……”
(I can’t tell him….)
Dancing naked – that’s what I said at the time.
I said that at the time because I didn’t think at the time that His Highness Claude would lose.
“Farnese-sama said [dance naked].”
Alicia said casually from the side.
“Eh? What? D-Don’t say it!!”
My face was burning.
To be asked to “dance naked” in front of His Majesty the King…!
(I-I can’t stand it. ……)
I almost lost consciousness.
“I see. ……. You made a pact that if you lose a bet, you will dance naked. …… Then it can’t be helped. The Marquise Farnese will dance naked…”
His Majesty the King says with a start.
“Noooooooo!!!!!”
I scream.
(I’m a marquise, and it’s …… absurd for me to be naked in front of a sub-baron!)
“…… Your Majesty the King. You can’t make a girl naked, no matter how much you want to.”
Grundy says to His Majesty the King.
(Eh? are you going to protect me ……?)
“But Farnese took an oath. No nobleman is allowed to break his oath.”
“I don’t care …… about the bet. If Farnese would just stop bullying Alicia, I’d be fine with it.”
“You’re very kind, Lord Grundy. If you say so – I’ll amend your pledge. You two, give me your engraved hands.”
Me and Grundy put our hands before His Majesty the King.
“… contract, amended. Farnese will not bully Alicia. And – Farnese shall be [a servant] of Lord Grundy!”
“Servant? M-me? Grundy’s?”
“Yes! Farnese. You are a nobleman, and you have said and done a lot of foolish things ……! You will serve at Lord Grundy’s side as his servant, and you will correct your rottenness ……!”
“No…! I, a marquise, am not going to serve a lowly baroness. ……”
“Then shall you dance naked, as we agreed?”
“T-that’s ……”
When I glanced at Grundy next to me, he was quite surprised.
Even Grundy must hate it.
“His Majesty the King… Farnese-sama has been making fun of Sid-san a lot up until now, hasn’t she? To put such a person on Sid-san’s side… I am absolutely against it!”
Alicia is strongly against it.
(Oddly enough, she’s strongly against it,……?)
“I’ve already made up my mind. If she serves the excellent Grundy dono, the rotten aristocrat Farnese will be reborn as a respectable aristocrat! Will you accept the job, Grundy-dono?”
With a pop, His Majesty the King patted Grundy on the shoulder.
As one would expect, even Grundy was a little surprised when His Majesty the King told him so much.
“…I understand. I’ll take care of it.”
“Thank you! You can re-educate this rotten marquise!”
The King’s Majesty holds Grundy’s hand tightly.
(How did this happen ……?)
I was supposed to make Grundy my [dog], but this has turned me, in turn, into Grundy’s [dog]. ……
I can’t believe it. ……
“I also have one more favor to ask of you, Grundy dono. I would like you to become our diplomat, and I would like to entrust you to negotiate with the Valencian Empire.”
(No way! ……?!)
The Valencian Empire is a powerful country located next to our kingdom.
It is customary for the candidate for the throne to be entrusted with diplomacy with the Valencian Empire. …..
“Grundy-dono, Alicia, my daughter Charlotte, and the rotten servant girl Farnese and go to the Valencian Empire.”
(Y-you call me a “rotten servant girl.” ……!)
Isn’t that too much ……?
“F-Father!I thought you left diplomacy with the Valencian Empire to me. ……”
His Highness Claude interrupted,
“You fool! How can I entrust you with such an important mission when you were so incompetent that you lost a duel!”
“But …… Grundy is a baronet? You can’t leave diplomacy in the hands of a baronet’s son.”
“Of course you entrust diplomacy to the most competent. What more do you have to complain about,……?
His Majesty the King glared at His Highness Prince Claude.
“Guh…! Father is right. ……”
“Good. Then I appoint Grundy dono to be the diplomat of our kingdom! The fate of my kingdom rests in the hands of Grundy-dono. I have high hopes for you!”
(Ugh~~…! I can’t believe I’m Grundy’s servant. ……!)
