Ch34 Elmhardt POV): Awebstories.com
In two days, two days, Charlotte and His Royal Highness Alfred will be married.
By then, we must make Miri Arzel a lady who will not be ashamed to be seen anywhere.
The carriage is already on its way to the Kingdom of Albania, and the clock is ticking.
How could I be so reckless as to discipline her on the way?
Because I can do it!
Isnât this just like my brother, who has nothing but thoughtless and shallow ideas?
No, I was in the position of a wise general who was eagerly waiting for my brother Leanhardt to make a bad move.
It may be impossible for a normal man, but for a man with a merciless and cold heart like mine, disciplining a single woman is a piece of cake.
I can do it! I can do it! I can do it!!
Believe in yourself; youâve waited for your chance, even if youâve had to slurp up the muddy water all this way!
If I can make it through this stage, I have a bright future as a duke waiting for me.
I hold hope for the future in my hands.
Yes, in the palm of my hanâ.â
âItâs warm to hold your hand like this, Elmhardt-sama.â
Miri reaches out and takes my hand in hers.
âwarm and soft.
Why are womenâs hands so delicate and fine-grained?
I donât have sweaty hands, do I? My hands have always been sweaty when I get nervousâ¦
âO-Oh, itâs warm. Miri-san. Ahaha.â
⦠Huh? No, no, wait. This reaction isâ¦
Itâs not! Itâs not âAhahaâ! What are you smiling about, me!
I canât look at Miriâs face! Smiling is even worseâ¦! I canât smileâ¦smiling makes me feel less dignified.
âElmhardt-sama, you really must start educating Miri-sama soon, or you will never be able to get back.â
âI know. Anna, do you really think Iâm going to fail?â
In a slightly annoyed tone, Anna urges me to discipline Miri.
Anna is supposed to talk to Miri because she is the closest to her age among the dukeâs servants, but she doesnât seem to have the right personality and only talks about business.
My father says he hired her because sheâs good at what she does, but I donât like smart women like her.
âYes. Iâm thinking about it and Iâm worried about whether youâll be able to return to your home country safely.â
ââ¦Itâs unnecessary to worry. Iâll do it properly from now on.â
You know, youâre the kind of person who doesnât hesitate to talk about fearsâ¦
She starts studying Albanian next to me because she knows she will have to look for a new job in Albania if I donât do a good job.
She definitely underestimates me. I should be angry, Iâ.
If even the servants underestimate you, you will never succeed in getting the dukedom.
But Anna has a good point. If I take Miri as she is to the wedding, Iâm doomed.
Iâll make her a perfect lady.
No, wait! What am I saying?
Yes, thatâs right. She doesnât have to be perfect at anything.
It doesnât matter if itâs just for show, just the basic manners.
Miri spent her life with the Countâs family. Even if she lacks some common sense, she should be able to correct her pretenseâ¦
Well, before that, she should learn at least a few greetings in Albanian.
This will not take more than 30 minutes, as long as she can introduce herself.
â¦
âMiri Arzel is a delicious sweet potato â(in Albania).â
âNo, please listen to me one more time â(in Ezersta). My name is Miri Arsel â(in Albanian).â
âMiri Arzel is a delicious sweet potato â(in Albania).â
Why?!
Why are you saying words out of your mouth that sound nothing like my pronunciation?!
Weâve been asking and answering this question for more than an hour!
What? Only two days left?
I donât know if I can do itâ.
âI, Anna Williams, was formerly a servant of the dukeâs family. â(in Albanian).â
