The Falsely Executed Marquis’ Daughter Wants to Live Peacefully with Fluffy God

After bidding farewell to my uncle and Count Forrester, who seemed to be reluctant to leave, and exchanging greetings with Tria and the others, I headed straight back to the townhouse.

“Welcome back, my lady.
Did you enjoy your outing today?”

“Yes, I did.
Yes, I had a great time.”

Marie welcomed me and helped me get dressed, while I told her about the day's events.

“Oh, by the way, I met Count Forrester,” I said, “He looks just like the head butler.”

“Is that so?”

Marie's reply was curt.
I had expected a bit more of a reaction from her…….

“Hey, Marie.
The Count Forrester…….”

I thought about mentioning how she might be adopted, but I swallowed my words.

“Nevermind.
It's nothing.”

“I intend……
to serve milady for the rest of my life.
My determination will not change.
Even if my uncle asks me to become Countess Forrester, I have no intention of doing so.
Therefore, please let me stay by your side for the rest of my life.”

I am not sure if Count Forrester had already spoken to her, but Marie answered my question.
And I got the answer I wanted.

“Yes! Please stay by my side forever, Marie.”

“Yes!”

“Beautiful master-servant love, isn't it?”

Leon sat next to me, holding an entire cake in one hand.

The particular cake Leon is holding is a fruitcake that was served as part of the afternoon tea set at Rosette Garden.

Among the many sweets, Leon seemed to like this cake the best, so I asked Tria to have it taken home for him.

“Marie, will you make us some tea? The three of us will enjoy it together.”

“Yes, miss.”

While Marie was preparing the tea, Leon stared longingly at the cake.

He was waiting for Marie to tell him that they were going to eat together.

Normally, he would eat a whole cake by himself, but what kind of weather brought this on?

“Rio.
Aren't you wondering what Baron Campbell is doing in the Rosette Garden right now?”

Leon asked me with his eyes fixed on the cake.

“Ummm….
To say I'm not curious would be lying, but ……”

“Milady asked about the father of Idiotte earlier.
Shall I go and find out if you are concerned about him?”

Marie offered while placing the tea set on the table.

“It is fine.
Let's leave the matter of Baron Campbell to my uncle.
Sit down, Marie.
Let's have some cake.
This fruitcake is very delicious.”

It had been a long time since the three of us had eaten sweets together.

Today's shopping trip with friends was fun, but spending time with Leon and Marie like this is also enjoyable.

I feel a little depressed thinking that I have to go back to the academy the day after tomorrow, but for now I want to enjoy this time.

“I will cut the cake for you, then.”

Just as Marie was about to cut the cake with a knife, a hole appeared in the air and two shadows flew into my room.

“They're eating something that looks delicious.”

“Yurie! I've come to play!”

A silvery-white beauty with a flowing figure accompanied by a young man covered entirely in black entered.

“Sylphy-sama and Ron-sama!”

As usual, Sylphy-sama hugged me.

“What now? What are you doing here at this hour?”

Leon glared at Ron-sama with a grumpy voice.

Leon is probably annoyed because he was interrupted while he was trying to eat a piece of cake.

“It's not that late.”

In contrast to Leon, Ron-sama seems to be in a good mood.

He glanced at the cake with a sideways glance, which was probably the reason.

“I don't suppose he smelled the cake on me, did he?”

“Don't get me wrong.
I'm only here because Sylphy wants to see Yurie.
Oh, well, I did smell something sweet before I came out here.”

I don't know where he made the space link, but the dragon's sense of smell is very keen.

“I must warn you, there's no cake for you.”

“Leon! Don't be so stingy! They came all this way to see me.
Marie, make some tea for the two of them.
And as for the cake, ……
it's not easy, but can you cut it into five equal pieces?”

Marie smiled and nodded, “Of course,” and went to prepare additional tea.

It is difficult to divide a round cake into equal portions, but Marie should be able to pull it off.

“As expected of my disciple, she knows what she's talking about.
She is very different from some narrow-minded cat.”

Ron-sama nodded in satisfaction.

“You nasty little dragon! Rio! No need to entertain them!”

Leaving Leon to his own devices, I greeted them again.

“Welcome, both of you.
Please have a seat in one of the available seats.”

“I want to be next to Yurie!”

Sylphy-sama came to sit next to me on the opposite side of the table from Leon and sat down slightly.

These gestures of Sylphie are adorable.

“I do not know what to say,” said Ron-sama with a wry smile, and sat down on the opposite side of Sylphy-sama.

After a while, Marie cut a piece of cake and put it on the table.

Yes! The cake was beautifully divided ……
but not in five equal parts …….

The cake is divided into quarters.

“Marie.
There's no portion for you.”

When I hurriedly pointed this out, Marie smiled gently.

“I can't have the pastry that you serve to your precious guests.”

“Then, let's share half of my piece of cake and eat it together.
I can't eat this much.”

Marie shook her head and smiled.

“Then, next time you visit Rosette's Garden, please take me with you.
Your ladyship's hospitality is all that is needed today.”

“Marie ……”

Both Ron-sama and Sylphy-sama let out an impressed voice.

“She is an excellent personal maid.
So humble.
She is very different from some other foodie.”

Ron-sama gave Leon a nasty look, and Leon choked up.
.

“Yurie.
I'd like you to take me with you when you go to Rosette Garden.
I'll even pay for Marie's share!”

“Sylphy-sama.
Thank you very much.
Let's have a tea party next time, just the three of us.”

“Yes! You promised.”

With a big smile, Sylphy-sama nodded her head.

“Sylphy-sama.
Miss.
Thank you very much.
I am happy for your concern for me.”

Marie is indeed a good personal maid who is too good to be wasted on me.

During the day, Count Forrester told me that Marie's letter spelled out that I was a “bright and gentle young lady,” if Marie thinks so, it is thanks to Marie.

I believe that it is because I have had Marie, who is like a wise and kind sister, by my side all the time.
