Mochiron, Isharyōseikyū Itashimasu!

21. Banache POV

I longed to become a noble since I was a young girl.
Gorgeous day filled with glittering jewelleries and fluttering dresses.
I always yearned for that.
To live the aristocrat's life like in those books.
I had always loved the novel [Even though I am a Noble, I will do my best] which told the story of a commoner girl who fall in love with the aristocratic gentleman.

And unexpectedly, one day, I was taken in by an aristocrat's house.
I had never known that my papa was actually an Earl.
What's more, it was together with [Let's work hard]!
Wasn't this novel all about me?!
After all, when I make an acquaintance with some of them, those people seemed to have the same appearance as the characters in the book.
Especially Lamore-sama who had a splitting image with the Marquis' son who had been scrambling for the heroine's hand against the Prince.
However, I had been wishing to have the Prince.
I thought that, compared to the Marquis' son who was a little bit arrogant, I will be happier if I were to end up with the gentle Prince instead.
However, I could never find the opportunity to make acquaintance with the Prince at all.
I have even been working hard on it.

At that time, Yulias-san who was the spitting image of the villainous lady started to appear.
That person who got along with the Prince better than I, seemed to be a little bit different from the one in the novel.
In the novel, she was someone who is in love with the Marquis' son; and those incomprehensible love had led to a deep envy and hatred towards the commoner.
However, for this Yulias-san, I did not know whether she likes Lamore-sama or not, however, she didn't seem to be jealous of me and even maintained good relationship with the commoners.
That's why, even if it did not go well, I am going to continue acting according to the novel's content.
I will advance my plan in capturing the Prince.

Despite that, whenever I tried to make a plan to make an acquaintance with the Prince, it had never gone well.
Why did the plan never go well whenever Yulias-san was there?
It might be because Yulias-san did not get what she want that she has been making sure that I could not get along with the Prince as well.
A~ I wanted to quickly become lovey-dovey with the Prince.

It was when it suddenly occurred to me.
I really need to correct the progression of the story myself.
For that, I need to make sure that Yulias-san will act as the bad guy!
Once I got Yulias-san to push me down the stair, then she will be deemed as a villainous character!

I set up the plan before I went to meet Yulias-san.
During the time I met her, my heart was pounding as my eyes fell upon the Prince!
Ma~ let's leave it at that for now.
As what I have been telling her, Yulias-san finally arrived at the corridor near to the staircase.
I pretended to guide Yulias-san as if it was a coincidence.
Yulias-san was grinning as she followed behind me.

When we arrived at the top of the stair, I planned to irritate Yulias-san and once we came to the middle of the stair, I will make it appear as if she had been pushing me down the stair.
That was the plan in my mind, however, when I turned around to check whether she was still following me, I accidentally lost my footing.
Seeing that, Yulias-san quickly extended her hand to me.
I grabbed Yulias-san's hand as I drew a half-circle around as my position and Yulias-san changed due to the centrifugal force.
I was actually confident with my motor skills.
And with a surprise expression, Yulias-san fell down the stair.

Eh? In this way, it will be Yulias-san who will get hurt instead, you know.

The moment I thought that, suddenly, the Prince appeared as he hugged Yulias-san to stop her from hitting the ground and currently, he had collapsed under Yulias-san.

Kya! So cool!

From where I am, I could see Lamore-sama rushed off when Yulias-san yelled for him to search for someone with healing magic.
If I knew that I will have the Prince to save me, I wished that it was me who had fallen down from the stair, instead.
When I unintentionally murmured about it, I got yelled at by Yulias-san!
Truly scary!
She even told me that she will continue to save me because she can!
Mou~ why was this Yulias-san so different from the one in the novel?
Even though other peoples were so similar to the characters in the novel!

Yulias-san, I will be in trouble if you did not act as my enemy!

A~ I wonder if everything will start to go well soon!
Ah~ I have to buy the new book immediately!
It was about time for me to be chosen by the Prince as I prepared myself to become the Queen, right?"
A~ I am looking forward for that!
With the continuation of the book, I will finally be able to become lovey-dovey with the Prince for real!
At that time, I still did not know that the novel's Heroine ended up not choosing the Prince in the end......
