Chapter 96: Aliseteen hidden popularity
“Quatra-sama!”
“Aliseteen-sama!”
“I’m so glad you’ve recovered, Lady Quatra!”
I wanted to maintain my noble and dignified Duke’s daughter facade, but being welcomed like this made me want to cry.
“…I am very happy.”
That was all I could manage to say with all my strength in my face.
This gathering was set up by Julian-sama, who arranged to rent the common entertainment room for two hours to hold a celebration for my recovery.
As the daughter of a duke and the Prince’s fiancée, I expected people to gather to some extent, regardless of what they thought in their hearts.
However, when I opened the door, I was surprised. There were more students than expected who genuinely celebrated my recovery, including Tanatora-san, Sanna, and others.
In particular, the people I had previously called “toys.” Looking back now, I think it was pure hypocrisy, but they shone in their eyes and even said, “Quatra-sama saved us.”
On the other hand, the high-ranking nobles who can spread their wings freely when I’m not there, pretended to be happy by saying “Good riddance” but their eyes were not smiling at me.
However, I strangely didn’t care about that at all. I was so happy that there were people who cared about me so much.
“Lady Quatra…I came here from the university as soon as possible…”
Tanatora-san, who came all the way from the university, had a cute face that was wet with tears. One of his glasses was falling off.
“Thank you, Tanatora-san. I’m grateful to you from the bottom of my heart.”
I took his hand instinctively when I saw his face. His face turned red in no time and his glasses slipped down completely.
“Eh, uh, what…? U-Uh, yeah, what ARE YOU…”
“This one fell off, didn’t it?”
Julian-sama, who cut in forcefully from the side, picked up the glasses and handed them to him with a smile.
Poor thing, it has a crack again. As a sign of gratitude, let’s give him a new one as a present.
With Julian-sama, of course.
“Quatra-sama! Congratulations on your recovery!”
“Why, it’s you all.”
“Quatra-sama, I am deeply grateful for your previous assistance.”
Isaac Owen, son of the Count family who mistakenly put a love letter in my shoe box, and his beloved Lillina Creaket, both came to me with smiles on their faces.
It was clear at first glance that the two were in a close and affectionate relationship. Even I couldn’t help but smile from their love.
“As it was sudden, we could not order anything too expensive, but we hope you will like this.”
“My goodness, is this a gold hair ornament? It’s so beautiful.”
I remember that Creaket Count’s territory was famous for hosting regular wholesale markets for decorations. My heart became warm from the thought of them having specially ordered this for me.
“Thank you both. I will cherish it dearly.”
“For you, Quatra-sama, I will do anything.”
“And of course, me too.”
As I trembled with joy at his words, Julian-sama cut in again from the side.
“That’s a lovely hair accessory. Allow me, as your fiancé, to offer my thanks.”
“…Julian-sama, really.”
They were lovers, so there was no need for him to feel jealous at all.
“…I just want to be alone with you already.”
As we watched the line of people coming to greet us one after another, Julian-sama muttered with a frustrated expression.
I wanted to laugh at him, knowing that he was the one who had arranged this event, but I secretly held Julian-sama’s hand so that nobody would notice.
“Alise…”
Oh no, if you look so happy, someone will notice.
