The Reincarnated Count’s Daughter Is the Strongest as She Is Loved by the Spirits, Though She Is Only Wishing for Regular Romance! - Chapter 11.2
“But after that, Brad told me that both of you were sweet to me and really loved me!”
“Certainly, I was the one who told the young lady about the rumors. However, after actually witnessing you and your family together, I’m correcting myself by saying that there’s a clear difference between how you treat the servants and how you treat the family.”
“That’s not true. I treat reliable people and competent servants properly as well.”
“Um, but is it true that you’ve fired a lot of people?”
When Rex placed the tea in front of him, Big Brother Chris nodded slightly and then turned his gaze toward me. He’s proper in these kinds of situations, isn’t he?/He’s quite good with something like this, isn’t he ?
“That’s true. I fire them in as little as twenty minutes.”
“That’s going to become a rumor, you know.”
“Who do you think will look for the aides and butlers who come to me?”
There’s no job magazine for that, right ?
“Referrals from the nobles within the territory or people with clear backgrounds?”
“Yes. Each and every servant has someone behind them. Oh, not everyone, though? Father and I have been gradually bringing in people we like. But I am still young, right?”
“Huh ?”
“Hah ?”
Don’t look so surprised, you butlers. Unlike me, you don’t have the opportunity to talk slowly with Chris, so you’re probably amazed at how mature his way of speaking and his expressions are. This kid is so strange. If he were in my previous world, he’d probably be in Mensa[1].
“It’s only natural to quickly fire anyone who’s being blackmailed by the introducer, has personality issues, or is incapable of doing the job, right?”
“Um, can I ask something ?”
“Of course, Brad-kun.”
“I don’t think everyone is able to do the job right from the start. Do you want to train them yourself?”
“Oh, come on. Why should an adult servant have to be trained by my nine-year-old self?”
“Ah, you’re right. I’m starting to lose track of my age…”
“The biggest problem is that it would be nice if they become useful after being taught, but if I continue to hire them out of inertia, by the time I become an adult, they’ll have the track record of having worked near me for many years. Even if they can’t do the job, their position will become higher than the newly hired ones. That would be difficult to handle, wouldn’t it?”
Oh, I am just an ordinary office worker after all. I had never thought about that. Unlike me, Big Brother Chris, who has to inherit the title, needs to manage the noisy nobles, protect the people and borders, is also thinking about what will happen many years from now.
I’m only a random person. I’ll try to do something with my momentum. Thanks to that, I’m standing out in front of the Spirit King and the Emperor’s family, and I’m in a really bad situation.
“Please forgive me. I didn’t think that far.”
“No, it’s alright. Your job is to protect Dia. I understand that it’s also your job to gather information that she can’t gather on her own. This time, there was something wrong with my approach, so the fact that Dia is now wary of me is the result of my mistake.”
“Moreover, although big brother is strict with the servant, he is kind to Dia, right? Sometimes, he likes Dia so much that it’s a little creepy. So why is she being cautious?”
“Since you haven’t been talked to, so you’re being treated with the same caution.”
“Me too? Why?”
It’s strange for a six-year-old child to be able to keep up with the conversation so far without any trouble. Thanks to Big Brother Chris, you haven’t stood out, but Big Brother Alan is someone to be wary of, despite his different approach.
What’s wrong with my siblings? Is there something wrong with our genes?
Well, no one in this world understands genetics yet. In this case, is there something wrong with my father’s seed? Oh, this isn’t something that the young lady should be saying, even if she is not a four-year-old.
“Are you listening, Dia?”
“Yes.”
“As for me, I don’t understand why Dia is so wary of me. I wonder what the problem is.”
The problem is that I have memories from my past life. My brothers are so smart, that makes me don’t have the confidence in keeping it hidden. That’s why I didn’t want to have this kind of conversation. There’s no way I can say such a thing??! !
“Young lady, we were also hoping to hear about it.”
“Yeah, yeah. No matter how you look at it, it would be better to have these two on your side.”
Even Brad and Rex started talking about it.
Huh ? Is it okay to reveal everything just like that ?
Should I just tell them everything and get it off my chest?”
“Could it be that…”
As I didn’t answer right away, Big Brother Chris spoke up.
“Does Dia want the title?”
Brad and Rex looked at me in surprise, while Alan tilted his head slightly and gazed at me intently.
“Title ?”
I didn’t understand what he said, so I looked back at Big Brother Chris’s face blankly.
“Are you thinking of succeeding Father and becoming a Margrave?”
“Eh ? Huh ? Huuuhhhh ?!”
“Huh? That’s not it?”
“No, no, no, no. I’m a girl, you know?”
“Even Her Majesty the Empress is a woman, you know? In our country, it’s allowed for women to hold titles.”
“I have no such intentions!”
“Is that so? I thought if it’s you, Dia, you’d be able to handle the job without any issues, so I was considering letting you have it if you wanted.”
What the heck are you talking about ????
You’re making the two butlers frozen with their mouths hanging open????
“Please stop with the titles and all that troublesome stuff!”
“Troublesome stuff….”
“You can tell how busy Father is just by looking at him. There’s a lot of administrative work, dealing with noisy nobles, and even worrying about the harvest. It’s unbelievable. If you do such work, you’ll die young.”
“But I’m the one who’s going to inherit.”
“Thank you for your hard work!!”
“Well, I was thinking of becoming the Prime Minister or the Foreign Minister.”
“Foreign Minister sounds good. I want to go on a trip abroad.”
“Then, let Alan take over the title, and the two of us can go on a trip together.”
“A trip has nothing to do with the succession issue, right?!”
See, they’re keeping up with the conversation. If anything, it’s my butlers who aren’t keeping up.
“Hmm. If that’s the case, I can’t think of any reason why I’m being treated with caution.”
“Um, I’d like to hear a bit about the position I’m in.”
“Dia was the center of attention just because she was cute. In addition the fact that she’s smart, and she has all the attributes, not to mention the spirit beast. See, isn’t it amazing so far?”
“Not really….”
“Aah…. you wouldn’t notice it while being in the castle. Father is trying to keep you out of the public eye as much as possible, but our place is a summer resort, and if you start going to school, you’ll meet various children from different territories directly.”
Well, we have to meet the guests who come to play in the summer, right? I won’t know for sure unless I go to the school, but if there is anyone close in age with me, we’ll have many opportunities to meet.
“Even royalty from foreign countries come to study abroad.”
Huh? Is the school that advanced?
I mean, how many royal children are going to be there?
“Be prepared for the fact that within a few years, a lot of people will be trying to get you.”
“Isn’t that a bit too much, though?”
“Why ? It’s because if you wanted to, you could easily destroy one country.”
“……Huh.”
“All because of that Spirit King over there.”
When I followed Chris’s gaze and turned back, the Water Spirit King was smiling with a cheerful expression.
