“I’m exhausted . ”
After that, I headed to my bedroom and just collapsed onto my bed, sinking into the soft mattress and clean bedsheets and burying my head into my pillow .
I can’t let anyone see how pathetic I am right now . I just can’t . That’s why I’m in hiding right now .
“Oh, I see . ”
I’ve solved a part of the mystery revolving around the divergence from fate .
For instance, the event that’s happening today . My plan was to get my sidekicks to harass Michelie and make her leave the party halfway .
Depending on the routes in Labyrinth Destiny, either Prince Endo, Charles, or Leon would arbitrate and help Michelie .
So, which route is going to take place now?
Simply put, we’re not on Charles’ route because he wasn’t at the party .
Because Charles was here instead, he never set the romance flag with Michelie . Most likely we’re on Prince Endo’s route .
I’m relieved in that sense .
But at the same time, I never knew that Charles came to talk to me in Labyrinth Destiny .
“Milady, this won’t do . Since you’ve returned, won’t you please have something to eat?”
“Later……”
I turn over in bed, still laying on my side and covering my face with my pillow .
“……Won’t you at least take a shower?”
“I said later . ”
“Yes, yes, I understand . Later, correct?”
“Yeah……”
I give her an noncommittal nod .
Whatever . I’ll call it a night . I’ll most likely fall asleep soon, and I’ll probably have calmed down when I wake up .
I’m not trying to be conceited, but Charles is most likely still in love with me . Most likely it’s because we’re not on Charles’ route . I don’t know about Leon . Most likely it’s because of Surfania .
But that means I’ll probably have to continue seeing Charles .
Christina gets sent to a convent in Charles route . If that’s the case, then I won’t be able to stay on such friendly terms with Charles .
With such thoughts churning in my head, I finally fell asleep .
“Lady Chris!”
I calm down after hearing the voice from outside the door .
It was a rude awakening . I jump out of my bed .
It’s Freesia . She’s able to calm me down in a minute when it would normally take me an entire night . How convenient . I never knew she could be useful in such a way .
“Lady Chris, are you here?! It is your loyal and humble Freesia!”
Yeah, I figured it out the first time .
I make sure my forehead is back to a normal temperature, and signal for the maid with my eyes . It’s going to be a bother if I leave her causing a ruckus outside, so I’m letting her in .
“I’m opening the door now, Freesia . ”
As a reward for calming me down, I decide not to reproach her for her lack of manners .
But she came back a little early from the party . Most likely something happened there .
Oh no .
What kind of problem happened there, exactly? I want her to be useful for once .
Freesia comes in crying .
“Michelie, dear Michelie……!”
She fumbles her way in, with tears welled up in her eyes .
What the hell happened?
I suddenly become dumbfounded .
If it’s something so serious to make her cry, then I have to ask her . But something she said caught my attention .
“‘Dear’ Michelie?”
“Oh, well……”
She turns back to normal .
“A-a-anyway, Michelie is so mean!”
“Hmm . ”
She holds back her tears and complains curtly .
She must be mistaken . There’s no way my sister could ever do something mean .
“Leaving that aside, have you carried out my orders?”
“You’re leaving it aside?! ……W-well, I have indeed done as you asked!”
“Oh? Really?”
I thought she failed miserably .
But her task was simple . She was supposed to spill a drink on Michelie and say the lines in Labyrinth Destiny . It’s just a short and simple scene, so it seems she didn’t screw up on that .
Most likely the problem came after .
“It was after I bumped into Michelie and spilled my drink . She pretended to stumble, then grabbed onto my arm and sent me crashing head first into the servant carrying the drinks……”
That must have been one hell of a tragedy indeed .
“I was soaking wet in front of so many people…… It was so embarrassing!”
“Hmm…”
I’m comparing her complaints to the original scenario .
That’s about what happened, albeit with some margin of error .
“She must have been shocked from getting spilled on . ”
“No, I am sure she did it on purpose! She even said she wanted to leave early!”
“Why was that?”
“I do not know, but she was mumbling creepily about something . I am certain of it!”
There’s no way the archangel Michelie could intentionally cause so much chaos, but Freesia is still insisting that she did it on purpose .
Anyone could tell with one look that Michelie is good natured . I can’t help it if Freesia lacks good judgment .
“So, what happened after that?”
“She left right after that . ”
“Hm?”
I’m confused .
“That’s odd . ”
“Yes . it’s certainly odd that she would leave with her clothes and hair still wet…… but she seemed to be in a hurry . ”
“No, that’s not what I mean . ”
She should have been alone with Prince Endo after that . In the original scenario, she was mocked at for being soaked and for being an adopted child, then exchanged a few words with Prince Endo .
Freesia continues explaining the situation to alleviate my confusion .
“Well, I wanted to fix my hair and dry up a little . Oh, yes! Prince Endo brought me to another room, and we exchanged a few words . I thought he was a little difficult to approach at first, but he was so kind and considerate–”
“Why are you the one setting up a flag with Prince Endo, you idiot!”
“–Fy are you cawing me an idioch?!”
