Chapter 3: Officially Engaged!
Since it can't be twisted from the outside, it can only be from the inside!
First in the Three Princes route, and finally Elizabeth was killed by the Prince.
So, in order to avoid escaping when fighting the prince, start learning swordsmanship and practicing magic skills!
Elizabeth began to make her own little calculations.
So she asked her parents to learn swordsmanship and practice magic.
The Duchess and Duchess of Ibekar's faces were ugly, it was okay to exercise magic or something, and learning swordsmanship or something didn't look like something that a noble lady should learn.
Then Elizabeth was confused by Elizabeth on the grounds that "in order not to lose the face of the family after entering the magic academy in the future", and finally her parents agreed with extremely complicated expressions.
However, a mentor who can teach the nobility is not something that can be found immediately.
So before the instructor arrived, Elizabeth herself went to the library and borrowed a lot of books on magic to practice on her own.
However, there is no use for eggs.
Although Elizabeth is of noble blood, Elizabeth has magical powers, but Elizabeth's magic power is very low, and there is no magic at all when you add the memories of her previous life! It's completely impossible to practice or anything.
In the original game, Elizabeth really didn't use any conspicuous magic, just some kind of stumbling, getting wet, blowing skirts and other magic that couldn't be put on the table.
If you can only use these trouble-making magic all the time, you will undoubtedly be killed directly by the third prince!
So! You've got to find a way to increase your mana!
Basically, he started from scratch, and then, in a certain book, he wrote, "To master magic, you must first master the natural elements." "Take control of nature? Elizabeth thought.
What can be done to take control of nature? With Elizabeth's current magic, she can only generate a small ball of light on her fingertips, which is not even too dimly lit, but what should she do with this control?
Control? Control? Speaking of control, before control? Isn't it necessary to get close first?
You can think of it! Too smart, Elizabeth! Let's start with getting close to nature, right? And then the fastest way to get close to nature? Elizabeth turned her head to look at the green space in the courtyard outside the library window, Elizabeth! You're such a genius!
"That? Miss? What are you doing? ”
After the fever, Rowling, the maid who had been taking care of Elizabeth, asked Elizabeth timidly.
"Huh? I'm loosening the soil for the flower garden! ”
Dressed in overalls borrowed from the gardener, Elizabeth replied energetically.
From today onwards, the maintenance of the flower garden will be left to me!! Elizabeth thought.
"That...... Miss? You said you were going to exercise your magic powers, right? Why did it become a gardener's job? ”
"I'm just doing the gardener's job to exercise my magic!" Elizabeth is still full of energy.
"Miss, I'm very sorry, I don't understand at all."
Elizabeth could only explain to Rowling, who looked surprised.
"I read in the book, if you want to control magic, you must first control nature, and before you control nature, you have to be close to nature, and the best way to get close to nature is to be a gardener~"
Of course, I have already gotten permission from Mr. Gardener. Although the gardener also had a complicated expression on his face when he said this.
In short, now Elizabeth is exercising her magic in order to avoid the end of death, and she is trying to be a gardener with the goal of exercising her magic!
"Huh? Although I don't understand, I always feel that the eldest lady's idea seems to be off track. It's good if you're happy. Rowling muttered something with a complicated expression, but Elizabeth, who was still loosening the soil in the flower garden with a shovel, did not hear it.
There are still 7 years before the age of 15.,The nobleman will enter the magic academy at the age of 15.,But that's when the hero and heroine appeared.。
Before you meet the hero and heroine, you have to exercise your magic! Even if you fail, at least you can rely on your skills to make a living! Elizabeth thought.
Rowling, the maid who was watching Elizabeth's work with a complicated face, suddenly shouted as if she remembered something,
"Ahh Miss! Now is not the time to loosen the soil! His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince has arrived at home! ”
Rowling remembered why she had come to find the eldest lady. However, seeing the eldest lady's current virtue, she directly left such an important thing behind.
"Huh? What is he doing here? Elizabeth was also frightened, and the shovel in her hand fell directly to the ground.
"Still asking? Of course, I came to say hello to confirm the marriage contract! ”
"Ahaha? Is that the case? "Oops, completely forgot about it, Elizabeth thought.
"Anyway, you can't make the prince wait too long, hurry back to the room and prepare!" Rowling also hurriedly urged Elizabeth.
"Also...... Yes! "Even Elizabeth, who was nervous, knew that she couldn't go to the prince in a gardener's overalls, could she?
I wanted to run back to my room immediately to change my clothes, but it was too late.
The servants who did not know the truth had already led the long-awaited third prince Becas to the courtyard.
However, the servants were stunned when they saw their eldest lady's current virtue.
They probably didn't expect that the eldest lady, who was supposed to be exercising her magic powers, was now wearing a gardener's overalls to loosen the soil in the flower garden, right?
"Huh? Miss Elizabeth? I heard that you were exercising your magic in the courtyard, so I took the liberty to visit it...... What are you doing now? The third prince, Bekas, also saw Elizabeth's inexplicable outfit and smiled and asked.
Looking at the charming smile of the third prince Bekas, if it was the former Elizabeth, she would definitely fall for it!
However, Elizabeth, who knows the actual nature of the third prince Bekas, will only think that it is a demonic smile.
And in front of the eldest lady who was wearing gardener's overalls, which was strange no matter how you looked at it, she asked, "What are you doing?" "The smile that just appeared, no matter how you look at it, it's terrible! Elizabeth thought so.
Looking back, the servants who came with him were completely petrified, and then the Duke of Ibekar, whose face turned green, and by the way, the Duchess had lost consciousness and was now supported by the maid on the side.
The servants were completely petrified, and the parents were so virtuous, that Elizabeth had given up completely, and there was no need to care about the details at all.
"Gui'an, Lord Bekas, I'm sorry to have you come to this place, I'm here to get close to nature just to exercise my magic powers." Elizabeth tugged at the corner of her trouser leg with both hands and saluted, though it was funny.
"Huh? This...... Is it getting close to nature? The third prince, Bekas, still has a cute (seeping) smile.
"Yes, because the book says that to control magic is to control nature first, and to control nature, the first thing is to be close to nature, so gardener work is the most suitable."
"Take control of nature!" After Elizabeth's thoughtful answer, the third prince, Bekas, lowered his head for some reason, and his shoulders shook frequently.
Did it really make him angry? Shouldn't he be mad before he entered the academy?
I'm not going to die right now, am I?
Elizabeth was taken aback.
However, after a short while, the third prince, Bekas, raised his head, still smiling, and looked lifeless.
Fortunately, Elizabeth quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"In this way, in order to exercise magic, it is really a novel way to exercise!"
"Huh? Is that so? Elizabeth was confused, after all, she didn't know anything about magic.
Then, the third prince, Bekas, suddenly stepped over the flowerbed and stepped on the mud to Elizabeth, knelt down on one knee, and slowly stretched out his hand to Elizabeth.
"Miss Elizabeth, I have come today for the purpose of the marriage contract of the previous day, and though it is quite improper, in such a place, it is ...... Will you accept my engagement to me? ”
"Huh? Yes? Be! Elizabeth subconsciously stretched out her hand, and the third prince, Bekas, took the hand and kissed it lightly.
It's like a fairy tale where a prince proposes to a princess, but the princess is wearing a set of gray gardener's overalls.
If the original Elizabeth accepted the prince's kneeling proposal, she would definitely fly to the sky happily!
For Elizabeth now, however, it's a matter of life and death.
I should have said something like "a man like me is not a good match for a prince", and he should have refused.
As a result, because I was worried that I would be killed directly if I refused, I said "yes" directly to the atmosphere.
It can't be undone! What to do! Elizabeth became more and more worried about her fate.
And both the servants and the prince's entourage blessed with "congratulations" expressions, and even the father, who was about to fall just now, applauded.
Yes! The mother is still unconscious.
It was in such an inexplicable atmosphere that Elizabeth officially became the betrothed of the third prince, Bekas.
However, Elizabeth was not happy at all, and secretly resolved to work harder to exercise her magic and swordsmanship!
