Mayana raised her voice as she struck the armrest of the sofa with a loud thud.
“Princess Ariante is surrounded by all sorts of luxuries but cannot enjoy what she really needs. Starting with clothes and shoes, it’s a problem. I don’t understand why a sevenyearold needs a leather and silk corset. Plus, the hardsoled, highheeled shoes. No matter how decorated with expensive satin and jewels, what use are they if they’re uncomfortable to walk in?”
Sedilroy seemed about to speak, but Mayana didn’t give him a chance. She spoke without even taking a breath.
“And there’s too much homework. Mr. Biman is too strict. Teaching etiquette is important, but did you know he resorts to physical punishment? Also, there’s the food issue. Of course, the princess is a picky eater. But do you just watch her skip meals every time? Don’t you think some other measures are necessary?”
“What other measures? Are you saying we should fire Mr. Biman and find another etiquette teacher?”
Mayana widened her eyes as if to ask if he was serious.
“No, I’m saying that the princess needs time.”
“Time?”
“Time to run outside, play, wear comfortable clothes and shoes and do as she pleases! She should also have time to socialize with peers. The Duke’s residence is vast and luxurious, but nobody communicates properly with the princess. Can you imagine how lonely she must be?”
Sedilroy’s lips closed tightly for a moment.

Assuming all of Mayana’s words were true, the first step would be to fire Mr. Biman. Physical punishment? He knew she pursued very demanding and strict education, but laying a hand on a child was something Sedilroy himself couldn’t tolerate.
But it was difficult to readily agree with Mayana’s opinion on other issues. Comfortable clothes and shoes? Was she saying that Ariante should wear common clothes and leather shoes?
“I think I understand what you want to say now, but noble children don’t grow up like that. Even if the clothes are somewhat uncomfortable, they have to endure it. If you don’t try to maintain dignity that fits your status from a young age, can you not foresee what problems might arise later?”
Sedilroy’s tone was very serious, but Mayana laughed lightly as if she had heard the most foolish thing in the world.
“I understand what you, the Duke, are trying to say. But I think that’s why characters like Pobec’s Baron and his wife, who are personality disasters, appear.”
A moment of silence passed. Sedilroy looked bewildered, his face showing uncertainty whether to laugh or be angry. Then, with his hand still on his forehead, he glanced up at Mayana.
“So what do you want to do? We can’t not educate Ariante. We’ll fire Mr. Bimen, but can you solve the other problems?”
“It depends on your will, Duke.”
“What does that mean?”
“If I want to do something for the princess, if it’s not officially permitted by you, neither Joslyn nor Kosha will stay still.”
“You need my permission for this?”

“You should at least tell Joslyn. That you have allowed me to spend time for the princess.”
Sedilroy turned his gaze away for a moment, pondering Mayana’s words thoughtfully.
It was an unthinkable thing to do, sensibly. Joslyn would certainly react that way.
Although she was not of noble origin, holding only the position of head housekeeper, she was almost the only person who knew everything about the Duke’s domain and Valterminster Duke’s family.
Joslyn’s father, and her grandfather as well, had dedicated themselves to Valterminster’s Duke family, and if Joslyn were to adopt a child in the future, that child would undoubtedly work for the Duke’s family as well.
Joslyn, more than anyone else, perhaps even more than Sedilroy himself, desperately wanted the name of the Valterminster family to shine gloriously. She would do anything for that…
It was for this reason that she found Ariante’s every mischievous act distasteful.
But Sedilroy couldn’t help but be bothered by Mayana’s firm words.
[The princess is not happy.]Even now, Mayana was repeating the same words across from him with her gaze, with her firmly closed lips. Ariante is never happy.

That’s understandable. Sedilroy muttered absentmindedly.
“I’m sorry, what did you say?”
Mayana asked. At that moment, Sedilroy shook his head as if awakened from sleep. Then he silently stared at Mayana.
A strange woman… Sedilroy’s impression of Mayana had always been like that. Too wise and too dignified for a peasant from the countryside, a maid of a baron’s house who had been dismissed. It continually bothered him. Strangely so.
“……Alright, let’s do that.”
Mayana’s eyes blinked gently.
“Really?”
“Let’s tell Joslyn. And we’ll hire another teacher. But Ariante can’t just play.”
“Don’t worry about that. And if it’s alright, I have one more favor to ask.”
“What is it?”
