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

「Then, as an apology for scaring you, I can answer one question you want to ask me without any games, okay?」

「Oh my, thank you for that.」

It’s not for me, but it’s patronizing. But it is also true that the offer is opportune.

「Will it grant us what we ask for?」

「I can’t just let you walk away from here. Not just you, of course, but her as well.」

I shook my head from side to side as Rio pointed to the sleeping woman behind me.

「I wouldn’t ask you to do that. So, what do you think?」

I need to consider changing what I ask for based on the availability of assurance. This is an opportunity that shouldn’t be used so easily. And I’m not stupid enough to make demands that I know are impossible. What I want to demand is something much more pressing, something I want to make sure I get.

「Tell me. If I could, I would. I’ll do what I can, but it’s an『apology,』after all, kuku.」

Really, he was so disgusting.

「Let’s see. It’s an『apology』after all. I will demand it without reservation.」

But I respond to that sarcasm with sarcasm. And I will not hesitate to make a request that I absolutely want to have fulfilled.

「What I want is an improved environment. That’s what I strongly demand.」

Hey, it must be very easy.

「It should never be something you can’t do. Of course you will make it happen.」

When Rio heard my request, his eyes widened and he broke into a huge smile. I was most surprised to see him bending over and rolling with laughter, as if he was in pain.

「Buhahahahaha, hee, hiee…!」

It was a big laugh that suddenly destroyed the tense atmosphere.

「Kuhahaha, you’re definitely weird!」

「Weird, you say?」

It is too rude at any cost.

「I don’t remember wanting to be told that much?」

「Usually it’s,『Where am I?』or why you kidnapped me, right? And you don’t expect it to be an environmental improvement. You must be so surprised that your stomach muscles are about to collapse.」

I just stated my request because he said he’d grant my request. And yet, he laughed hysterically and blamed me for causing his stomach to collapse. And I’m the one who is being called weird by people who are laughing so hard they are having trouble breathing. I feel like I’m going to cry, but in a different way than last night.

「…So, what do you think?」

At this point, I don’t care if it’s weird or not. Either he will make it happen or he won’t.

「Nhn? Let’s do it. I’ll do what you want. You’ve come all this way. I’ll even take your request as a thank you for making me laugh, how about it?」

「Of course, I appreciate it.」

I grinned at the peony from the shelf from an unexpected place. If you are going to thank me for such a thing, you may laugh as much as you like. I’m used to being laughed at, so I don’t mind at all.

「Now, I won’t go so far as to ask you to put in a bed first, but can you provide a reasonable number of cushions?」

「I wouldn’t mind that much.」

「Good. And I’d like some lights. Cantera is fine, please.」

「Kuku, I thought you said you slept better in the dark.」

「Well, I’m the type that falls asleep as soon as the sun goes down. I’m like a bird, fufu.」

Why don’t you just learn that I am a sarcastic person who returns sarcasm with sarcasm.

「Haven’t you ever heard anyone say, “I can’t keep my mouth shut”?」

To which I responded with a smile.

I’ve been synonymous with『the sassy woman who doesn’t talk less,』by a very few people.

「May I continue?」

In response to my question, Rio raised one eyebrow and urged.

「Then I’d like some ventilation as well, since the air quality is so bad. I would like to get some cleaning supplies if possible…?」

「Dismissed. Even those things are a weapon if it’s wielded. You’re not after that, are you?」

「Are you such a heck of a subordinate that you can’t handle it to the extent that I wield a broom? Well, whatever. Can you please just ventilate the room. All you have to do is open that little window.」

To my compromise, Rio nodded one nod without saying anything. I was relieved and relieved because just the circulation of air would improve this musty smell. To be honest, this bad air quality was the hardest thing for me.

「Also, I need to cleanse myself once a day. Please get me a tub of hot water.」

「…」

「I don’t want three meals a day, but I would like to have two meals a day, breakfast and dinner. Preferably something warm and easy on the stomach. Avoid oily foods.」

「…」

「Also,」

「Hey, hey.」

「? What is it?」

Is there anything more I can ask of you?

「There are too many. You must think you are a guest of honor or something, huh?」

I guess I’m half mortified and half laughing. Rio complained bitterly about my request.

「I am not asking you to prepare a guest room. I understand the situation I am in.」

「This isn’t the kind of thing a kidnapped person would say.」

Oh no. I’ve just been admonished by a scoundrel for my common sense.

「But it’s『apology』and『thank you,』isn’t it?」

I crossed my hands in front of my chest, tilted my head and looked at Rio. This is the『please pose』that Myra-sama often does for His Majesty. It would be perfect if my eyes were moistened, but alas, I do not have such advanced skills.

「Buh, kuku, your pose and expression don’t match, kuku.」

Even you, who say so, though you were laughing so hard just now and earlier, but the depths of your eyes are dark. A truly creepy man, I wonder where his true heart lies.

「Hey, do that again and show me what you just did, kuku.」

「…You want to see it?」 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

I don’t understand what the fun is in seeing something like that, but Rio nodded his head repeatedly.

「……（Please.）」

The angle of my neck is deeper than before, and my upward glance is more powerful than before. How about this? By the way, if Myra-sama does this to His Majesty, he will fall 100%.

「Buhhaa————」

This is the second time today that he had laughed out loud.

「You, your pose is cute, but you’re not cute at all!」

「…」

「You know what? That pose is called『begging pose』in the street.」

So it’s not only Myra’s pose, but also that of the women in the streets.

「You should be being coerced, but you don’t feel you’re being coerced at all. It’s more like obligation, isn’t it?」

I give a cold stare at Rio, who is chuckling and laughing.

「I’ve never seen such a cute little『begging』in my life. I love it. You’re really entertaining me.」

「…That’s good to hear.」

I’ve never heard such an ungrateful compliment before. I’m not sure if I should call it a compliment.

「Kukuku, all right. I’ll take care of what you just said. Is that okay with you?」

In other words, no more, I understood.

「I have no qualms about it.」

I nodded my head at Rio, who still hasn’t stopped laughing fits. This is good enough for me, rather than to be greedy and lose everything.

「Hey, you… No, you’re Marsha, right? You’re not going to be my woman after all, are you?」

Rio laughed for a moment and then said, as if remembering.

「…I just told you my name, but I guess you forgot it already. My name is Marshallie. I didn’t give you permission to call me that.」

That’s my answer, idiot.
