The next day, Cordelia, who had finished her lunch early, boarded the carriage with Ronnie and headed towards the Big Bookcase.
Today, after browsing books at the Big Bookshelf, she planned to visit her grandmother, Fulvia, a pharmacist. News had come that a medicinal herb that Cordelia wanted had arrived.
Oh yes, I heard from Emina that a shop with delicious cake has been built, how about we go there before visiting Sensei?
Thats a great idea. Then, I have to use my head properly so I can eat those delicious sweets. I wonder what topic I should read about.
Cordelia was a little surprised by Ronnies response. She thought he would look more forward to the cake, so it was surprising to hear him talk about the Big Bookcase instead of what type of cake he wanted to try.
(Ronnie might be looking forward to the Big Bookcase more than I expected. In that case, I shouldnt get in his way because of my requests.)
Even though hes acting as my guard, he shouldnt need to stay by my side in the castle, much less the limited space in the Big Bookcase. I wanted him to get the book I wanted from yesterday, but Clive-sama isnt by my side like yesterday, and if there arent many people in the library, then I should be able to climb the ladder and get it myself without anyone seeing. Also, I chose a dress that had a few decorations.
(Its thanks to Ronnie that I was able to get the permit, so I should be flexible at times like this)
Hearing the carriage stop, Cordelia got a little hyped up.
Now, lets go.
She visited the castle, which she had just visited yesterday, again.
Up until yesterday, she would have wanted to scream at this situation, but she felt surprisingly calm today.
(Until now, I didnt know when I would encounter the Prince, but I wonder if I feel relieved because I heard he doesnt come to the Big Bookcase much.)
It wasnt like I wasnt anxious at all, but Im more excited about the knowledge that I can only obtain from here. And, although its different from my aim, Clive-sama is trying his best not to let Sylvester-sama and I meet.
(I felt Clive-samas hostility towards me withdraw towards the end, but I dont think its changed favourably. Hes probably still on his guard against me.)
Ojou-sama? Whats wrong?
Nothing. Oh, Ronnie, thats the wrong direction.
We turn here, Cordelia told Ronnie what she had learnt from Clive yesterday.
I wish you would have told me earlier, she felt she had heard, but she didnt care.
After a short while, they arrived at the entrance. Cordelia explained how to use the permit to Ronnie, and they both entered the Big Bookcase.
Oh. Theres a lot of books here. How long would it take to read them all?
Do you have that kind of hobby?
Ronnie gave his unique impression while looking impressed. They must have been the thoughts of a merchants son, but he is looking forward to reading any book from here. Cordelia smiled wryly.
Ronnie, who had said such a thing, looked around and his voice gradually became livelier.
If I get immersed in the books, then the day will be over in the blink of an eye.
His expectations seem high after all. Cordelia was relieved to see that Ronnie had forgotten that she had said they would go eat sweets after this. If hes happy, then thats great.
