The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads - Chapter 5

So I had to sit here uncomfortably as if I were sitting on a thorn. I couldn’t overcome the awkward atmosphere and opened my mouth first.

‘I’ll lead the conversation. Even though I have a lower status, I do have an older mental age.’

……With high ambition.

Well, I was thinking about what topic to talk about and I decided to ask a question relevant to this situation.

“I wonder why His Majesty wanted to establish a kindergarten.”

“Because I want to have friends too.”

“……I’ve heard that His Majesty the Emperor has provided you with children from noble families.”

“You’re a good speaker, but that’s not a friend. I want a friend who is not like a maid. I need friends who I can care for as equals.”

I thought to myself.

Well, as long as you’re the Royal Princess, it’s already too late to make friends on equal terms…… I’m afraid to say, “You’re such a fool!”

It seems like the princess longed to have a friend after reading children’s novels that portrayed friendships.

‘Oh, come to think of it… … So, are you saying that I should be the “friend”?’

I closed my mouth to the sudden truth.

Yes. It wasn’t the time to think useless thoughts. I was the one who should be willing to hang out with her as a friend!

‘Ah, it wasn’t enough that I just reincarnated as a young noble lady. In the end, I still needed the imperial family’s favor to survive, damn it……’

My head sank down as I became more depressed.

At that time, Prince Nicholas, who hadn’t said anything yet, said casually.

“I am scheduled for early admission to the academy next year.”

“……?”

What do you mean by that?

Are you bragging about being smart……

It turned out that Nicholas of the original novel was full of himself until he met Alice, the female lead, and he would then hide his arrogant personality. So it was natural that he had such a cynical personality even though he was seven.

I was wondering if he would be different but it doesn’t seem like it.

Nicholas replied that he doesn’t fit with the level of the kindergarten.

“I just went along with His Majesty’s command that Nina shouldn’t go alone. You don’t have to worry about me.”

“Oh, yes, Your Highness.”

Of course, then I am very grateful.

…….How can I not care, you are the Prince and the male protagonist of this book.

‘Will I do well in kindergarten?’

Even though I have only met two people, I already started to worry.

The meeting went well, but the ride back home felt heavy.

***

I worried about kindergarten every day and before I knew it, it was the day before I entered.

“Carrie, you said all the ingredients I asked for a few days ago are ready?”

As soon as I woke up in the morning, I washed my face and brushed my teeth.

When Carrie, my nanny and maid, brushed my hair, I looked at her through the mirror and asked.

Carrie nodded.

“Yes, I prepared everything you said yesterday in the kitchen. Don’t worry.”

“Yes, thank you.”

I stared through the mirror and moved my feet in the small chair.

Today was the day to make my secret weapon. Wouldn’t it be best to look good in front of the children I would be meeting tomorrow and the best way to bribe someone would be by using food, right?

“By the way, miss, are you really going to make it on your own? If you tell the kitchen staff, they can make it for you. You could accidentally hurt yourself.”

“No, no. It’s only meaningful when it’s handmade.”

Just in time, Carrie brushed my hair and tied it with a small ribbon, so I jumped out of the chair. My mom told me that there were six kindergarteners including me, so there was no need to make a lot because it was a small number of people.

“I’ll make it myself, and I’ll pack it up!”

“Yes, yes. Do whatever you want, miss.”

Carrie was looking at me with a resigned smile as if she had already given up.

She looked as if she expected me to give up soon anyway.

But I won’t get tired that easily, hoo-hoo.

‘There is no giving up in my dictionary.’
