Akuyaku Reijou wa Ringoku no Oitaishi ni Dekiai Sareru The Villainess Is Being Doted On By The Crown Prince Of The Neighboring Country Chapter 22

Villainess Doted On

Chapter 22

Tiararose had been spending her days accepting jobs related to the spirits in the morning and observing Aquasteed's work at his office in the afternoon.

However, not being able to be of much use to Aquasteed, she let out a sigh.

"Tiararose-sama, you're doing the best you can."

"But… Ais.h.i.+rsama is still only 14 years old but she is still able to do the job so well."

After resting her body on the soft sofa, she drank the black tea Firine had brewed.

At this time of the night, the castle is quiet and one can hear the wind. Tiararose liked this time of the day, when she drank black tea while she waited.

And then she recalled the incident that happened during the daytime.

After she started observing Aquasteed's work, she noticed that Ais.h.i.+ra would come from time to time. It does kind of affect her every time, but she tells herself that it is for work.

—-But, to be able to work properly at 14 years. It can't be imagined in j.a.pan.

Sighing in her heart, Tiararose wondered how she could be of use.

"Tiararose-sama, you just being here helps Aquasteed-sama very much."

"Firine?"

She tilted her head, hearing the attendant's words. How can someone be useful by just being there? Seeing Tiararose seriously thinking about that, Firine said, 'That part of you is also good', and gave a wry smile.

It is common knowledge at this point that Aquasteed dotes on Tiararose but it seems like the person in question herself isn't quite aware of it.

Just from Tiararose's presence, Aquasteed feels good and the work progress in the office also increases.

Although Firine does feel that is cute of her employer, Tiararose still is in training for homemaking. It's probably not good to be in excess contact… Thinking that, she wondered about what to do.

"How about making desserts? You can add magic into your desserts, after all. I think making sweets which would help recover from exhaustion would be good."

"As expected of Firine! That's right, if it's making desserts, even I can be of use."

Tiararose smiled like a blooming flower.

And if that's what she was going to do, she though she should start preparing right away and stood up–but, of course, she was stopped by Firine.

"Tiararose-sama, it's already late now. How about we do it tomorrow?"

"Mmmm… That's true, let's get up early tomorrow and make them."

After being stopped by Firine, as it would cause problems for other people in the castle, Tiararose accepted easily and started preparing for bed.

Seeing her employer in such a good mood made Firine happy. Especially since all she heard from Tiararose recently was 'Ais.h.i.+ra was also there today…'.

[Tiara, I will let you have this–] [Is it okay if I eat it–?] [So softtt~!]

Tiara, who was fired up about making sweets, was able to borrow the castle's kitchen first thing in the morning.

—Actually, Aquasteed had prepared a special kitchen just for Tiararose since she likes to make sweets–but n.o.body knew of this.

"Thank you, it looks very delicious."

Amongst all that, while the preparations were going on, the fairies of the forest had come to Tiararose. With both of their hands full with fruits and flowers, they just kept on giving them to Tiararose one after the after saying 'I will let you have this'.

"….Hmmm."

However, Aquasteed took his time.

Tiararose's one should be the answer. But, Ais.h.i.+ra was also the daughter of the duke of the country. He couldn't possibly answer so easily.

It would've been fine but his crown prince self didn't let him free so easily.

"….It isn't even worth thinking about. Tiara's one is more delicious, without a doubt."

The unexpected answer came from the fairy king, Keith. Suddenly appearing beside the wagon carrying the cakes, he was having both of the cakes.

Seems like he had a bite of both and decided on which was better. He put Ais.h.i.+ra's cake back on the wagon and finished Tiararose's one.
