An unexpected person greeted Cordelia when she came home from the castle.

I heard about it, Cordelia! Youve had a dreadful experience!!

Cordelias aunt, Nirupama, hugged her before she could ever say hello.

Ni-Nirupama-obasama

Oh my, youve gotten more beautiful. Im happy youve grown into a niece whom I can boast about. But, good job with that annoying matter.

Th-thank you very much.

Nirupama spoke in a clear voice, as always, and Cordelia could tell that she was healthy, even if she didnt ask. Nirupama nodded in satisfaction at Cordelias reply, then pondered.

However, I cant believe you got involved in something like that Im happy that you saved a girl, but Im worried about you as an aunt. I wish I had come to pick you up sooner. But I cant take you with me until Cyruss wedding ends, so it wouldnt have made a difference.

Huh? Pick up you say?

What is she talking about? I didnt hear anything about going out She thought, and Nirupamas eyes sparkled.

You didnt hear anything from Elvis-sama?

Hmm, did Otou-sama have something to tell me?

Hmm, I can tell you about it if you havent heard about it from him Say, Cordelia. Why dont you train to be a lady in my fief until you reach adulthood?

Cordelia widened her eyes in surprise at the sudden offer.

The details would be explained after Elvis came home, so the conversation was left as it was until dinner.

Then, as soon as Elvis came home and started eating, Nirupama smiled widely and questioned the expressionless Elvis.

Say, Elvis-sama. Why havent you told Cordelia about that yet?

It wasnt important.

Its already been three months. THREE MONTHS. Its not like you didnt have time to talk to her about this, right?

Nirupama continued to smile as she said that in a rough tone, and Cordelia wanted to calm her down. However, she couldnt say anything because she thought she would be adding oil into the fire.

Her sister was excellent, but shes had a hard time since she didnt have a model around her, right?

Or, do you also want Cordelia to face those same troubles?

Nirupama was extremely angry, but she didnt show any sign of backing down.

O-obasama. Otou-sama is also worried about me living in an unfamiliar place

Oh my, he doesnt need to worry about that. Of course, youll feel confused at first, but youre adaptable. And, you know she wont complain, dont you, Elvis-sama?

Fights between women, ――― Opps, I mean, the tactics women use are different from the ones men use. Unlike the royal capital, I can do what I want in the fief, and I can gain influence with the feudal lords wives whenever I go to greet them. I think it would be useful for her if she wants to compete with essential oils, and youre bad at socialising, so I need to show her how to socialise, right?

E-l-v-i-s-sama, are you listening?

I can hear you.

From his reaction, it seemed like he agreed with the idea.

Cordelia, do what you want.

Elvis answered in a somewhat annoyed tone.

However, even if he said the decision was up to Cordelia, she still hadnt heard enough about it to make a decision.
