Isn't Being A Wicked Woman Much Better?

Recently, while the Crown Prince was carrying out relief activities abroad, a swarm of tarantulas large enough to cover the outer walls of a house appeared, and there were reports of several people dying as a result.

An unfortunate accident occurred during the incense ceremony, and when these things happened one after another, even Seymour's servants murmured that the Crown Prince was unlucky.

"A swarm of tarantulas...?"

While listening to Margaret's story, I suddenly remembered a dream I had two days ago.

"I can't even drink this water."

"Why? You can remove the insects and drink it."

"That worm. It might be a monster."

In his dream, Nayla was depressed as she looked at the messy well where worms floated.

They had just crossed the desert and arrived in the village, but the water was contaminated by insects that could be monster corpses.

Nayla wandered here and there as a volunteer, saw many monsters, and was very familiar with their ecology.

Most of the monsters that survived in the arid Demon Realm were venomous species, but there were also individuals that couldn't be distinguished from the pests of this place at first glance.

But here, the top predator was at the bottom of the pyramid in the Demon Realm, and to survive, they lived in colonies like ants, and they were highly venomous, so even though they looked like the same insect, they were much more threatening.

"Isn't the tarantula that appeared there a monster?"

But I haven't heard of any nearby rifts.

I rubbed my chin with a complicated feeling.

In the midst of this, the wizard who took the lead in the kidnapping case bit his tongue and committed suicide. It is said that he remained silent about why he kidnapped the girl and who ordered it.

"Mmm."

The information I care about is collected one by one like pieces of a puzzle, but it was frustrating because I couldn't clearly see what the picture was.

"I feel like I'm falling into a maze."

I walked to the academy with Margaret, spinning the pieces I had in my head.

Before Thanksgiving, the academy was in chaos.

Everyone was excited as if preparing for a university festival because of the dance and other events held in the imperial family.

The atmosphere was heating up day by day.

Time passed quickly between dance practices and learning about social etiquette from the etiquette professor, and the debutante event was just around the corner.

From who was the chaperone for each young lady to the trivial story of someone mixing various expensive garments in a certain dressing room.

Various diverse news related to the debutante spread constantly through people's word of mouth.

"The name of a young lady named Mia Binoche is the one that comes to mind the most these days."

The fact that Mia Binoche's chaperone is the duchess of a founding family has been the biggest issue in the social world recently.

This is because it is the first time that the lively Duchess Orge, who had only been a chaperone for young ladies from famous families, suddenly became the chaperone of a young lady from a family that had never been heard of.
