Volume 2, Chapter 2: Ive Become a Princess, Part 2

Authors Note: Will there be [Romance] soon? Or [Heartwarming] Scenes? Take what you will.

Tea Party?

Grandmother brings over a freshly boiled kettle.

Im currently with my Grandmother, the queen, my Aunt Elea-sama, and, incidentally, Rick, having tea in the garden.

Yes, a Tea Party. Yuru will be five years old soon, no?

Elea-sama said in her usual relaxing voice. Wondrous.

This garden was originally a place for the royal family to take their tea, it seems that being invited at all is considered a great honor. Its Grandmothers hobby to take care of the flower garden here.

Right now, Im sitting on Grandmothers knee.

Then, may I attend your tea party, Yuru?

Grandmother says while stroking my cheek and hair *SurSuri*. Grandmother is like a little girl. And Im her stuffed animal, it seems.

Tea party Arent we drinking tea right now? Also

The tea party, from before, didnt you come here?

Oh, I thought Rick didnt remember me. Good job. Ill have to *PuniPuni* his cheeks, later.

Rick you dummy, dont you know how special the [First Tea Party] is?

Elea-sama is relentless to her son.

A Tea Party at the age of five is the first time a noble girl is considered a [Lady].

Although situations exist where both mother and child will participate, acting as a chaperone, with the exception of close family members events, the children basically participate alone, building friendly relations with other families and sharing information

Well anyways, thats what its supposed to be.

Though, to teach the five year olds how to manage, they are usually brought to relatives tea parties until theyre more tempered.

So, I think it would be good if Yuru and I join Mother-in-laws Tea Party Ria, is that alright with you?

Yes, as long as you say so.

To Elea-samas words, Mother smiled happily.

Mother is so polite when speaking with Elea. Rather than talking like theyre relatives, since Mother was Eleas junior back at the Magic Academy, they call each other so.

Its different from the way that the housekeeper speaks of the Goddess-sama..

Speaking of I still havent met my own elder sisters Why is that?

The Tea Party has a [Womens Meeting] kind of feeling.

It seems that the reason Father brought me to that first Tea Party was to have me meet Rick.

Then this time, Rick why is he coming again?

What is it?

Oh, nothing, Rick-sama

Ricks rotten mood was multiplied when he notices my glare.

Oh well, even if its only with relatives, thinking of intermingling with just ladies makes me feel uncomfortable.

Give me some pity; its just an offhand thought.

Im sure that since Ill just be talking to the other children, it will be fine, Im over thinking. Hehehe.

I just hope nobody says read the atmosphere.

Yu~ra, why are you using -sama with Rick? Rick is something like your brother.

Said Grandmother.

B-bu~t

Calling that brat Brother, what shameful play are you pushing on me?

I-I-Ill also call Yurushia without an honorific.

Yup, Ricks definitely embarrassed. This is the first time we both feel this way.

But, using no honorifics would be a bit too much

For the time being, since Rick is a prince, and Im a dukes daughter, using -sama gives the sense of a [Wall] between us.

Well then, Queen, why not have her call him Roderick Oniisama outside and without a -sama while in this place?

Well, thats quite adorable. Lets do that. Also, Ria, you should call me Mother-in-Law.

Yes Mother-in-Law.

While my guard was down, the nonchalant duo decided on nicknames.

Do I have any veto option in this? I glance over at Rick, Rick seems to be trying to hide.

It cant be helped. Even though things might appear this way, I am the best demon at reading the atmosphere, yknow! This much shouldnt be enough to make me lose my facade crud.

R-Rick?

Y-yeah.

Rick suddenly looks shy. If you look like that, Ill get nervous.

Over there, *KusuKusu*, a bunch of chuckles could be heard.

Looking over there, the owner of the voice was grinning while looking between me and Rick.

As I thought Elea-sama.

The first tea party being planned by Grandfather and Uncle of Children meeting their Relatives is being taken over by a secret plan.

It seems like Elea-sama has another purpose for this.

Elea-sama is trying to make her cute [Little Sister]s daughter into her daughter-in-law.

This situation, I dont think it could be be serious.

For that manner, Rick and I cant possibly be [Engaged], right?

If all goes to plan, Timothy-kun will be the first to succeed the throne.

If that was the case, as the second born of the crown prince, Rick would form a new house in a new territory, or will be brought into a ducal family by marrying into a house, he may be put with me, since our unborn child would have [Pure Blood].

Uncle has [Military Skill], Father has [Wisdom], since both of them have the [Pure] blood of royalty, they should have children with the non-royal family.

Quite a problem. Quite a big problem.

Since I cant do it.

I suppose there is a possibility that I will be married to Timothy-kun, but his age is so far from mine when Timothy-kun is of a marriageable age, Ill only be 10 years old or so.

He also has that little brother, who hes [Good Friends] with, so Ill withhold.

Actually, there is another possibility.

Either of my two elder sisters could marry Timothy-kun, since the [Purity] of their blood should be the same. I see, I dont need to marry Rick either, since there are two people anyway.

I try to imply as much while talking to Elea-sama.

Ahaha, Yuru is so young, but you made such a funny joke

She said with a serious face.

What the heck did you do, as of yet unseen sisters?

The same kind of thing was said by our knight escort before.

Yurushia-sama, our one and only [Princess], we welcome you or something.

What did he mean?

Golly, isnt medieval blood politics a strange thing to think of in todays world of anti-inbreeding. More slice of life to come.

Random countdown to something: 30 [Feel free to guess what.]
