Two years have passed since then, i am now 7 years old, and Oskar became 5 years old. Recently, i have been itching to do something.
That is.
„Father. I want to learn martial arts like Oskar.“
„Huh?“
A fencing teacher arrived when Oscar celebrated his 5th birthday. This seems to be necessary education for noble sons. As for a daughter of nobility, i am suffocating, because i’m only learning how to make tea and studying proper etiquette…
Father isn’t the only one who made a face like a peashooter. Because i declared it in the morning when the family gathered for breakfast, grandmother as well as the servants were surprised. My sight stopping at Cecile, i gave a wry smile.
„Older sister …. what are you saying this time… “
„But, It seems to be fun! If i learn martial arts i’ll be able to protect myself. Please? Father, grandmother!“
„Self protection won’t be necessary. You’re protected by guards, and generally you don’t really go out, do you?“
„Oskar, if you say such a thing, you will be told that you are naive (by?) noble girls?“「オスカー、そんなこと言ってたら世間知らずのアホ令嬢って言われるわよ？」I have trouble with this one, this is what the MTL literally gave me.
„What for?“
„When i enter school, there will be a lot of commoners as well. If i don’t share a common interest i won’t be able to make any friends, right?“
At this statement the maids stare in wonder, Cecile looks down touching her forehead with her hand, Sebas puts on an indescribable expression, and father and grandmother are acting like they saw something strange.
What?
„… Rose … I think there is no opportunity for you to speak with the commoner students.“
„Is that so??“
„Yeah. Because you are the daughter of a count, you will enter the department for the distinguished families the かちゅうか Kachuka class. Only the sons and daughters of nobility are in that class. Although there are exceptions.“
„Uh? So, are there only the boys of count houses i met at the royal palace?“
„Well, i think so. Since those are the only children of the same age as you.“
I’m gonna be exposed to loneliness, am i not?
While i’m still shocked by the reality, Oskar begins to eat silently.
„Regarding Oskar, are there other children his age?“
„Ah, there’s the princess, the duke’s son, the marquis‘ son, the marquis‘ daughter and two daughters of a count house.“
„Eh, Oskar only? That’s unfair!“
„What is unfair?! It is just coincidence.“
Recently, you’re not being very adorable, brother!
When i sulked, father recalled something and opened his mouth.
„Oskar, since you also became 5 years old, in 3 days you will be going to the royal palace to greet His Highness.“
„Yes, father.“
Ohh, already that time.
„Rose, you too.“
„Eh?“
„You went home right away last time. It was said that you should come to the royal palace as well at this chance.“
„Ehh … Again … ?“
„What, Rose. What is so unpleasant?“
„…Uhh… The royal palace is so constraining…“
In addition, even if i myself don’t know, there might be people with thoughts similar to that mother, what’s supposed to be pleasant? ….
„Rose. You are a lady. You only have to act as one.“
Grandmother who seems to sympathize, comforts me with a worrying gaze.
„…Yes.“
After that the meal advanced safely.
„AH! I want to learn martial arts. Father, it’s ok right?“
I was about to forget the story, but when i repeated it father and grandmother dropped their shoulders. Good grief!
But, i will not lose here!
I pleaded and turned towards them with glittering eyes.
„…Ahh. I understand. Try doing it…“
Father compromised at last.
„Thank you, father!“
„Though being cheerful is good, you must not neglect the lady education.“
„Yes, of course.“
Yeeeees! I won!
I will have to quickly prepare clothes that are easy to move in. It has been decided that i will be studying under the same instructor as Oskar.
At first, since i’m the daughter the lecturer opened his eyes wide, but consented after i conveyed my intention with an earnest look.
Because i am not physically fit, we started with building up my basic physical strength.
Within a short time, i go for long runs, do stretching and do practice swings.
I made good use of the spare time between the other lectures, and created a daily routine.
Because i got a stress-relieving method, everyday was fulfilling.
