“I’m a diplomat? ……”
Three days after that duel with Prince Claude.
I’m assigned as a diplomat by the king.
I’m slumped over in my dorm bed,
(Frankly, it’s a pain in the ass. ……)
I’m a mob, and I want to live like a mob and not stand out too much.
Besides, in the original setting, the diplomat is played by Prince Claude, the target
I’ve completely taken the role of the target……
(I just want to be lazy and take it easy……)
I’ll get one wife, who can be the daughter of the same baron – or even a commoner girl.
Then the two of us would like to live a slow life together in a country estate.
This is the mob life.
–Garats!
“Sid san…..! Look at this ……!”
Alicia comes into my room.
(I mean, I thought I locked my room ……?)
I had locked myself in my room to sleep for a while.
“Alicia,……, what’s wrong?”
“Sid san is in the academy newspaper.”
Alicia handed me the academy newspaper.
The monthly school newspaper.
This newspaper is used to report the news of the institute for the month.
“Let’s see, …… [Grundy, baronet’s son, wins over Prince Claude, who was getting all worked up!] wait, hey…….”
Is it OK to write “he was getting all worked up” against a royalty? ……
“Also, please read this……! It’s very interesting!”
Alicia pointed to the back of the newspaper.
“What’s this ……[Farnese, the Marquise’s daughter, has been chosen to be Grundy’s servant! lol!] …… terrible.”
“I laughed so hard!”
“I-I see……”
I wonder if it’s safe to write “Suck it up” in the academy’s newspaper. ……
I’m worried about this academy’s newspaper department.
“As expected, I feel sorry for Farnese. ……”
“Eh? That’s not true at all~!”
Farnese, who is proud as a marquise, becomes a servant of a lower-ranked associate baroness.
For Farnese, there could be no greater humiliation.
And Farnese was gaining a lot of hate from the academy students as a villainous daughter.
(It’s no wonder people around her think “Suck it up” ……)
“But …… putting Farnese-sama by Sid-san’s side is a bit ……”
Alicia makes an uneasy expression.
“It is true that having Farnese around all the time can be a pain in the ass. ……”
Alicia looks worried.
“No, that’s not what I meant. ……”
“Eh? What do you mean then?”
Alicia’s face somehow turned red,
“A-Anyway! I’m the one who’s on Sid san’s side, ……!”
–Kon-kon-kon.
There is a knock at the door.
“Who could it be this time ……?”
I open the door,
“Excuse me. I need to speak to Grundy sama……”
Standing outside the door was the maid.
“I am Anna Shadowness, maid to the first princess, Charlotte.”
“Shadowness……”
Anna Shadowness is the first princess Charlotte’s valet.
The Shadownesses are, I believe, a family of assassins in the service of the royal family.
And the 1st Princess Charlotte is a character who is jealous of the main character Alicia by Prince Claude.
Prince Claude gets engaged to Alicia, but Charlotte is the one who opposes their engagement all around.
In other words, if anything, Charlotte is a “hate character” in the original story.
“Tomorrow, at 6 p.m., come to the royal palace. The princess would like to speak with Grundy-sama.”
(This kind of event was not in the original story. ……)
.”…..What kind of talk?”
Anna glanced at Alicia,
“I can’t talk about it here. The princess has something she would like to discuss directly with Grundy sama alone.”
In other words, it seems that she can’t talk here because Alicia is there.
Apparently, there is something secret to talk about.
(This is not an atmosphere I can refuse. ……)
“…… understand. I’ll go.”
“Thank you very much. I will pick you up tomorrow.”
Anna bowed deeply to me.
(I seem to have gotten into trouble without realizing it. ……)
★
“Thank you for coming. I was reallyyyyyyyyyyy looking forward to meeting Grundy san…!”
I was taken to the royal palace by Anna.
First Princess Charlotte — In the original story, she is a character who interferes with the relationship between the main character Alicia and the target Prince Claude.
She’s a severely brocon who is jealous of Alicia.
“Come on, ……, eat up! Grundy san!”
There are so many luxurious meals lined up.
(What in the world would someone like me, a mob, be doing here ……?)
By the way.
“Yes! I’ll have some of that! Charlotte-sama ……!”
And for some reason, Farnese came along, too.
“Why is Farnese here too ……?”
“Farnese-sama is Grundy-sama’s [servant]. I had no choice but to bring her along.”
Anna answered without hesitation.
In the original story, Farnese is good friends with Charlotte.
They are supposed to be the characters who get together and bully Alicia.
“Ah, this meal was prepared for Grundy-san. Please don’t touch it if you are a servant.”
“Eh…..?”
Farnese exclaimed.
“But …… I’m a marquise, you know. I’ve interacted with royalty,…….”
“I’m sure you’re Grundy san’s [servant] now, aren’t you? You’re an addition to Grundy san’s [family], aren’t you? so I called you even though I didn’t want to.”
“T-that’s….!”
Farnese looks extremely shocked.
She looks like she’s about to cry. ……
(Maybe I feel a little sorry for her.)
In the original characterization, Farnese boasted that she was close to the royal family Charlotte.
She would go around yipping and saying that she had the first princess, Charlotte, at her back.
That’s how she earned the players’ hate. ……
(The original setting is completely destroyed: ……)
“Leaving aside your servant,…… I actually called Grundy san today because I want Grundy to be my ally.”
“Ally……?”
“Yes. Now that Claude onii sama has been defeated by Grundy san, there are only two heirs to the throne: me and the Duke of Edmont.”
The Duke of Edmont is the mastermind behind this Otome game.
He is the character who is working with the Demon King behind the scenes and is aiming for the throne.
In the original story, Claude and Alicia face him as the last boss in the game. ……
“The Duke of Edmont has taken over the Adventurers’ Guild [Sword of Glory]. From now on, Duke Edmont will send assassins against me. So–“
With a clatter, Charlotte rises from her chair.
“The strength of Grundy-san, who won a come-from-behind victory from an overwhelmingly disadvantageous situation,…… I would love for you to become my guard!”
“I see. ……”
The Duke of Edmont has acquired the S rank adventurers guild.
So he can manipulate high ranking adventurers as he pleases.
(I don’t want to intervene in the development of the original story. ……)
‘I’m sorry. I decl—“
“Thank you very much ……! You’re so kind to take me on, Grundy-san!”
“No, it’s not t—“
“I’m sooooo happy to be protected by the very, very strong Grundy-san!”
(I-I can’t say no to this ……!)
“Grundy-sama, let’s protect the princess together. Thank you for your continued support (please give up already).”
With a pop, Anna tapped me on the shoulder.
“Grundy, you did it. You’ve become Charlotte-sama’s bodyguard!”
Farnese was also pleased.
(The moat has been filled. ……)
