The Troublemaker Daughter of the Grand Duke Wants To Live Alone

Chapter 80

"I hope there will be another meeting next time."

"Absolutely."

"Oh, I loved what Mary said about the poem."

"What are you talking about?"

Demimore, who was quietly listening next to us, suddenly intervened. At the words, Lausanne gave me a quick look. Her eyes were pleading for approval. I vigorously shook my head. I felt embarrassed. As if she understood, Lausanne winked one eye.

"Oh, it's a secret between the ladies."

"Sister, won't you please tell me?"

"Do you really want me to tell you?"

Lausanne looked at Demimore and put her index finger on her chin. She looked like she was really worried. You're not really trying to tell him, are you? No, you winked at me earlier, princess. Do we only have this much trust between us? Lausanne smiled knowingly at my embarrassed face. Demimore's expression was filled with anticipation. That's why blood is thicker than water. You siblings are scammers.

"But it's difficult to tell because it's just between the ladies."

"Ha, I was fooled again."

Lausanne seemed surprisingly playful. Demimore raised his hands to indicate surrender. Lausanne peeped out her tongue in a cute way. I felt guilty for briefly having my doubts about her. Lausanne grinned broadly, regardless of whether Demimore appeared to be deceived.

Looking at it, I wondered if this is what Lausanne is really like because she is so bright. Astina, our official heroine, occasionally displayed sadness, which was unavoidable. People who received love from a young age don't seem to experience sadness.

"Oh, so. Mary."

"What?"

"There's a story I really want Mary to read."

Come to think of it, Lausanne had a lump of parchment in her hand. I received the parchment in Lausanne's hand in a daze. I spoke in a worried tone after noticing the letters on the parchment.

"Of course, I will read it as it is a request from the princess. But I'm worried, I'm not familiar with the Imperial language yet, so I might not be able to understand the whole story."

"Don't worry, there won't be any difficult content. It's embarrassing to have a young friend read this, but after hearing Mary's thoughts on the poem, I wanted you to read it as well."

"Ah..."

"The Grand Duke has given me permission to take a little of Lady Mary's time, so don't worry about the time, I've just checked."

It was a little burdensome. I believe Lausanne is overestimating me, but I don't consider myself to be particularly knowledgeable about literature. I do, however, think a little bit differently from the people around me. Nonetheless, I barely understood the topics and themes discussed in class.

"Please?"

Lausanne asked with her hands clasped together as if in prayer as I continued to hesitate and fumble with the parchment in my hand. I believed it was impolite to keep my distance while being so adamantly asked.

"First l... I'll read it!"

"Mary!"

When I finally reached a decision, Lausanne gave me a bear hug while beaming with joy. She let me go after that and looked serious while saying something that sounded like a request.

"I'd like you to be honest with me."

I nodded my head seriously, too. Is it similar to the poem we just read? I don't think it fits the definition of a poem. Does it resemble an epic poem? However, it differs from what I had anticipated.
