Chapter 528 – [Blood Debut Ceremony]
It’s a sudden word, but macaron has a lot of calories in one.
Roughly, it is about 100 calories per serving, and the recommended daily intake for an average adult male is about 2500 calories.
That means you can get all the calories you need for about 25 macarons. Of course, the main ingredients of macarons are sugar and fat, so even if you put aside the nutritional issue.
And that’s how much adult male intake is, and in the case of women, it’s much lower than that. About 2000 calories?
In front of the young lady who eats 10 macaroons (1000 calories) right in front of her eyes, that may not have anything to do with it, but anyway.
“It’s such a pretty and delicious refreshment. Oh, is it shaped like a shell?”
It looks elegant on the outside, but the speed of eating is no joke. Spooned one macaron in 10 seconds and 10 macarons in less than two minutes.
At that level, I wondered if I would get tired of the sweetness, but it feels like it’s accelerating. No, do you usually eat like that?
There was a mountain of colorful macarons for show purposes, but it didn’t take long for them to disappear.
“Ah… Did I eat too much?”
“No, I think I prepared some refreshments. I’ll ask for more.”
From the point of view of ordinary aristocrats, this is a disgraceful act. Eating refreshments like that is not a good look, and eating a lot is also not the attitude of a noble lady.
But personally, I rather liked it. I like people who eat well, even if I eat a little unbalanced, my wife eats well, so I like it.
Rather, even though I haven’t eaten a few macaroons, I feel happy to see her eating them. Well, it’s alright You should eat well when you are young.
Eating sweets like that is bad for the body, but if you’re that type, you’ll eat other things well. Once it’s ok
To be honest, it’s not my taste to watch people eat small amounts of food for the sake of dieting. If you really want to lose weight, you have to eat well and exercise well.
“This macaron is delicious. It’s sweet, pretty, and must be popular with other noble ladies.”
“It was made for that purpose.”
However, I am not responsible for gaining weight.
“First of all, I invited Young Ae to be my partner at the ball hosted by the imperial family next year, so I prepared this place.”
“Yes? Me?”
“What’s wrong?”
“That’s… It’s the first time I’ve accepted a partner application.”
“Then how did you debut?”
“Like my older brother…”
A partner at the time of debuting in a social world is the opponent’s status, which proves the status of the person debuting, there are no specific rules. Only male and female pairs are required.
It would have been a good choice if he had debuted as a partner with the successor of the Marquis, even if it was his own brother. Rather, it would have been comfortable not having to look for someone else.
“Actually, it is my father’s will for me to stay in the capital. I want to be in the territory like my older brother…”
“I can understand the heart of the Marquis of Bistra. It must be my father’s heart.”
“Your Highness?”
“At least he wants his daughter to be in a better place.”
Her brother and her heir would be forced to stay in the manor. However, she would want to live in a better place doing more enjoyable things, at least for her daughter, who will not be part of the family once she gets married.
Unexpectedly, it was pretty good because the Bistra Marquee seemed to be a good person. I really wish my father, the emperor, was only half as much like him…
“Originally, parents do not understand the feelings of their children, and children do not understand the feelings of their parents.
“…….”
She was still 11 years old.
At most she is about the age of 4th grade in elementary school. No matter how early she was educated, her mind never fully developed.
……. My body hasn’t grown enough, so it’s in a well-trained state with some muscles, but anyway.
“Your Highness is a kind person. And I don’t think she’s younger than me.”
“Well, I often hear that from my aides.”
“But I guess that’s how I know you’re a good person. Yes, I’ll be your partner.”
Her consent declined. She had to talk to Count Bistra in earnest, but at least with the consent of the person concerned, things would be easier.
“I’m glad. I personally like the young lady, so I wanted her to be my partner.”
“Eh, me?”
“I like people who eat well.”
She blushed slightly. She seems to have realized now that she ate a lot.
But if I eat like that and don’t gain weight, is it because my metabolism is good or because my body’s absorption efficiency is bad? It looks like an electron to me.
“By the way, Your Highness, have you ever learned martial arts separately?”
“Yes? There is no such thing. Why do you ask such a thing?”
“Hmmm…Somehow I feel like my father.”
Have you penetrated the force field, which is normally imperceptible and suppresses the appearance of ordinary people? By simple intuition?
It is the same intuition as an animal. It’s just that they don’t have ears typical of beastmen, but their instincts are closer to that.
But it’s not perfect It’s just vaguely felt. If I could fully feel it, I would have gone mad as a mortal who recognized the existence of the Great Demon King.
Just as Icarus, who flew close to the sun, was burned down, humans who recognized the existence of the transcendent only met the appropriate result.
“No way, it’s just a feeling.”
“Hmm, I see…”
Tilting her head slightly, the young lady snapped a macaron into her mouth and mumbled.
No, we don’t even share it in two bites anymore. I threw away at least a little bit of my inner self.
* * *
A year has passed. It’s been a while since I’ve adjusted to this world, and winter has passed, spring has come, and the ball hosted by the imperial family is just around the corner.
“Lady of Beastra. It’s not good, but it’s not bad.”
“I personally like it, sister.”
“Is that your preference? Well, your family has a very free-spirited personality, so it might be similar to yours. Because they are far from power struggles, they have such a family tradition.”
Due to her debut in the social world, she often talked with the older sister of the 1st princess. Since he already had a precedent, it would be nice to know the know-how.
To be honest, I got a lot out of it. Things to be careful about in the beginning, new nobles who need to be careful now, and so on… Not just one or two things to worry about.
I just need to dance well, but I don’t know why.
“And His Majesty will also attend this ball.”
“Hmm……”
“Do you resent him?”
“No, not at all”
“Unexpectedly. I thought there would be quite a lot of bad feelings.”
“If you expect from the beginning, you will be betrayed. If you do not expect, you will not be betrayed.”
“When I see you, I often feel like I’m dealing with someone with a lot of life experience. I feel like I’m talking to someone the same age… No, I feel like I’m talking to someone older.”
“Maybe it’s because I’m precocious or because I’m an adult.”
I don’t have high expectations for the Emperor.
Now, I’m just trying to say that I’m not interested in my child, but rather, I’m in a state where I don’t have any ill feelings.
To me, the existence of the emperor is at least as bad as a mosquito. Mosquitoes tickle when they bite, so even if you’re annoyed, the emperor can’t even evoke such feelings.
“If you make your debut in the social world, you will be invited in earnest. Then, inevitably, you will have connections and power…”
“I don’t think my older brother and sister will care too much for now.”
“It’s a Geist guy’s problem”
2nd Prince Geist Von Frontier.
He is the only brother I haven’t met yet. He is 7 years older than me.
But how strong is the emperor, how can I be born as a late child? The age difference between the prince and I is almost twenty.
“I haven’t heard the details, I’ve only heard rumors, but I don’t think he has a very good personality.”
“That’s right, he’s a guy who climbs far and wide because he doesn’t want to lose. Of course, if that’s at a certain level, he might see it as aegyo and move on…”
“I can guess what it is like.”
Shall I guess?
The Crown Prince and her 1st Princess are both highly capable. It doesn’t matter who becomes the emperor, it’s not strange and the result is different, but it can be a good enough sage.
And the second prince right below him. It’s not like they don’t have eyes to see, so they’ll realize the gap between their ability and them.
What arises there is a sense of inferiority. And the stress that has piled up due to the clandestine struggles in the imperial family… Well, I don’t know because I haven’t met them yet, but if there is something like the idea of the chosen people, it seems that it overlapped and became the worst personality in many ways.
“Even now, it’s obvious. The news that I and the prince met you must have been spread, but not meeting you must be because you don’t want to bend over and go in to meet first, so you build up your pride.”
“I’m honestly not sure if I’ll accept a visit request.”
“I’m sure he’ll refuse with various excuses.”
That side doesn’t interest me. Then, as long as I don’t interfere, I don’t need to pay attention to that side either.
I have to gather information, but… I don’t have a separate information organization, so it’s difficult. Leticia is a government official, and Nanny is an aristocratic family.
“Well, in the end, if you attend the ball, you will inevitably see the face at that time. Shall we say hello at that time?”
“Have you learned enough to not step on your partner’s feet in dancing?”
“Would you like to check it out?”
“Hot, that’s not bad either”
There was no music, but she improvised, humming her song, holding her hand and dancing lightly. Originally, this kind of work is important to learn, but if you have a good sense, it’s easy to match the timing, so you can do it better. Rather than receiving etiquette training, dancing is more comfortable for me because I use my body more.
It was a bit difficult to match her stride as the size difference was pretty drastic, but she danced somehow. Ah, when I danced with Shion, I almost did it.
“It’s a little uncomfortable because of the height difference, but that’s meaningless compared to your partner. You’ve learned to dance in a few months, and you’re pretty good at it.”
“Your sister is also good at it.”
“I’ve danced so many times, now I can dance with my eyes closed.”
As long as the seat is the seat, you will have no choice but to dance. Even if you do it once at a party, you’ll do it dozens of times in a year, but if you don’t get good at it, that’s even weirder.
“I hope your debut goes smoothly”
“If you talk like that, something more will happen.”
“Is it?”
Since there is no concept of a flag in the first place, lines such as ‘Leave this to me and go first!’
“But I also hope nothing happens.”
Even if I reincarnate, I adapt to that society and reality.
In a world where there is no concept of human rights because there is a class system here, democracy is not just sprinkled, and even if we have the power of transcendence, we respect the judiciary and public power here.
Now that I was born into the imperial family, I’m saying this, but if it wasn’t for that, I would have been living quietly as a commoner. Of course, the goal of living a quiet life remains unchanged.
It’s just that my status and situation don’t allow it.
“But I’m a very safe person if you don’t touch me, so you don’t have to worry.”
As long as you don’t touch me, I’m a really safe person.
You’d be mad if someone beat you up on the street, but they’re calling the police first? Do you understand how much it is when you see that you are full of the ability to help yourself?
Since there is no Shion right now, there is no final blow switch. It means that it won’t happen for a while.
…..But is it my imagination that I feel a little ominous?
It’s a problem because my senses don’t work when the Absolute of Destiny is most important because it often gives me trials or problems. Because I can’t even climb the load, it’s hard to shake off the interference of the absolute.
It’s my dream to feed her face later. Maybe someday the opportunity will come!
“By the way, the dance seems to be over since your feet have stopped. How long will you be holding hands?”
“Ah… I’m sorry. It’s the first time I’ve ever danced with such a pure meaning.”
1 The princess’s older sister let go of her hand. There was a complex emotion in her eyes. Ah, it’s honestly scary to figure out what that emotion is.
Hmmm…… I feel something ominous here too!!!
