Betrayed By My Fiancé, I Changed My Role From A Viscount's Daughter To A Lady-in-waiting To The Queen

It has been a little over eight years since I have been called by this name. Now I have forgotten my old name.

My role is that of the queen’s lady-in-waiting. But that’s just for appearances. In reality, I am the queen’s shadow.

At the same age, similar height is a must. The difference in hair color can be managed with a wig, but there is no way to control the color of the eyes, so they are purple like Myra-sama. Besides that, I mastered the Queen’s habits, gestures, speech, everything. I also learned how to recognize all kinds of poisons, how to read and extinguish signs, how to defend myself from people’s kryptonite, and I became a substitute for a day that could come at any moment. If possible, I would like to remain a peaceful substitute.

The person who has educated me is Marsha-san, the Queen’s first lady-in-waiting. She is like a sister and a teacher to me. If I had to describe Marsha-san in one word, it would be『a troublesome person.』

What is so troubling is that this person is unaware and very good at seducing people. Hence, she was liked and followed by nasty people. Her fiancée and the royal princess are among them.

Her pride is that she is the queen’s lady-in-waiting. This is something she admits to herself and others, and it is understandable that Their Majesties would ask her to be their nanny. However, it wasn’t hard to understand why she was perplexed by the offer of marriage for that reason. Marsha-san has extremely low self-esteem as a woman. Incredibly low. It only got worse with each passing year, and the more people around her denied it, the more stubborn she became. She truly believes that as a woman, she’s not needed by men, so when His Majesty proposes marriage, she is afraid that there is no one who would be willing to marry her.

I really think she’s stupid.

.

I can’t believe she’s being so timid and misjudging her own worth because of what happened with her fiancé. If only Marsha-san had broken off her engagement early, there would have been plenty of men who would have wanted her, but she didn’t break the engagement, so she ended up getting herself in trouble. Even now, there are surely men who would want her, although they may not be without gain or loss.

I think it’s time for her to get out from under that spell.

Their Majesties’ methods were certainly forced, but I think it’s a good time. If you don’t want to get married like they do, then you still want to get married, Marsha-san, but you just assume you can’t and give up.

But, you know, I understand that both Myra-sama and Marsha-san think in an aristocratic way, but I don’t think that marriage is all happiness. Even if Marsha-san never married or had children, how much would it affect her value? I don’t think it’s a value that would be lost with something like that, I don’t think.

Oh, I see. So that’s why. It occurs to me.

I wondered if the reason Their Majesties went to the trouble of farcical exchanges to ask Marsha-san to marry wasn’t only to make her the nanny of their successor.

She is a troublesome person, isn’t she?

Surrounded by a group of people with strong personalities and obsessive feelings for each other.

Well, I’m not wrong, am I?

Because I genuinely hope that Marsha-san will be happy, fufu.𝑏𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝑜𝑟𝘨
