Chapter 23 – Rampaging Around the Mansion Completely Naked (Touko’s POV)

From just a few days ago, Touko began to visit the Duke’s family frequently.

As a princess, Touko had been acquainted with the head of the duke family before, but only on a casual basis when she saw him at some aristocratic party.

Now they have late-night talks in the duke’s study.

On that day, when Touko came in secret, Arthur, the head of the household, welcomed her in the study, brewed tea himself, and took the first sip.

It was an appeal to say he didn’t put poison in the tea.

“…Huh? Yuzuriha isn’t here today?”

When Touko turned her head to note the absence of Yuzuriha, who is always by the Duke’s side, he replied in a bitter tone.

“That foolish girl is under suspension.”

“Suspension? Why?”

“After going berserk with anger, she rampaged around the mansion completely naked.”

“Eh…?”

Touko can’t quite imagine what the circumstances were.

But in any case, Touko was impressed that they were able to seize a pissed off Yuzuriha,

“She was on a rampage and out of control, but when that guy, who happened to be there, seized her, it was an instant success.”

“Oh, I see.”

Apparently, Suzuha’s older brother seized her. That makes sense.

When Yuzuriha, who was probably out of her mind, regained consciousness, she would have turned pale upon realizing that she was rampaging while completely naked.

Touko thinks she might have cried on the spot.

“But Suzuha’s brother is really strong, isn’t he? He’s strong enough to fight a wandering white-haired vampire. He can also give super-powerful massages, and he can easily tame a rampaging Yuzuriha.”

“But that’s not all. The man is also smart.”

“Really? Suzuha’s older brother is indeed a good man, but he didn’t look like a smart man, though?”

“When I offered him any kind of reward for saving Yuzuriha, he replied that it would be enough if he and his sister only received the protection of my family.”

“Wow… as a commoner, that was quite the response.”

After all, Yuzuriha is the Sakuragi Duke’s prized possession, and her life is the price to be paid.

It cannot be half-hearted.

If in the future, the Duke’s family hesitates even a little in providing support to Suzuha’s older brother, they may be criticized with comments like ‘So the life of the Duke’s daughter is only worth that much?’ behind their back.

As a result, Suzuha’s older brother is entitled to squeeze the dukes whenever he wants for decades to come.

Whether it’s money, power, or anything else.

“I see. Suzuha’s older brother may seem easygoing, but we can’t let our guard down.”

“He’s been in the line of death many times. He must know how to negotiate.”

“Heh? Did you hear about Suzuha’s older brother’s past or something?”

“I haven’t heard of it, but I’m the head of a duke family. I know that much from experience.”

“Too bad. I would have liked to hear about Suzuha’s older brother’s past.”

“Why don’t you just ask him?”

“It’s kind of a heavy topic, so it’s hard to ask. Well, let’s just drop the subject for now.”

Touko clapped her hands with a clap.

Every minute counts.

Touko has found the card she absolutely needs to become the next Queen.

However, that card is not something that can be manipulated as one wishes.

That’s why she must carefully discuss with the current head of the Duke’s family in front of her about how to manage it from now on.

And besides that, there are too many things to consider.

“Well, I’m surprised myself that the day would actually come when I would have a secret meeting with a Duke to become a queen. It’s something I couldn’t have imagined.”

“There are times when the appearance of just one man can change the course of history. That’s just the way the world works.”

“I really feel it this time. It’s a total hassle.”

“You are the one who benefits, aren’t you? If those who have been driven out of power hear those words, they would cross the river of anger.”

“It’s not my fault! It’s the fault of those stupid aristocrats who are incompetent!”

“Shut up. Let’s get on with it.”

In the duke’s study, the secret meeting continued late into the night.
