    The Villainess Daughter and The Royal Family

    “His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, that’s where you’re wrong.”

    …Why were they doing this so early in the morning?

    “Wasn’t it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who asked me for guidance? I have some business to take care of, so this is the only time I could make it today.”

    When I finally reached the area that was supposed to be the dining hall of the mansion, my brother and William were already there, talking about something. William was lying on the table while my brother was standing next to him. From what I heard just earlier, it seemed that my brother was teaching William.

    “…Anastasia.”

    The moment I entered, William noticed that I had arrived and suddenly called my name. Would you stop looking at me like that? I was certainly a saint, but I couldn’t win against the devil by being the saint alone. I needed a hero, a swordsman, or a wizard. That was the basics of an RPG, right? Oh, was there no RPG in this world?

    “Well, well… Hello.”

    I said, my voice full of fear, as I sat down in the place that was my seat. As much as I could, I will devote myself to merging with the air to not get in the way of William and my brother. William seemed to be asking me for help, but I casually ignored him. Because, under the perfect couple facade that we show to the world, we were actually not good friends, nor did we get along well enough to help each other out.

    William was staring at me from a distance, so I decided to shift my attention to my brother. Then, brother answered, “How to make all kinds of documents.” And…? How to make documents, was it not better to be guided by the royal tutor? That’s what aristocrats were supposed to do, right? No, since I am a daughter, I have no idea about those aspects…

    “…Because the time when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs to learn the most is when the royal family’s finances are at their worst. To put it bluntly, they only hired tutors to teach the bare minimum, so the ministers have generally shouldered these matters.”

    …No, it was pretty bad, wasn’t it? I thought to myself as I blinked. The Crown Prince was the next king, wasn’t it normal to give the person such a high level of education? But he said that he was only learning the bare minimum. Was I married into a family with an illegal and disastrous estate?

    “I found that the Crown Prince His Highness was also not good at this, but for some reason, he suddenly came to ask me to teach him… What kind of change of heart did you have?”

    Brother glanced at William, who was still in a state of disillusionment, and said this… Yeah, I thought it would be glittering since this was the world of an otome game, but it was pretty muddy! It was the first time I heard that the royal family’s finances were so bad, I’ve only been researching this in recent years.

    “Well, there is still a chance for the good-natured royal family since there’s a desire to improve in any way. If there was no ambition, it would all be wasted no matter what they did.. And, isn’t it best to be able to take advantage of your wife?”

    …Brother, the last point was your most important purpose, right? Brother loved Anastasia. And, William, who married Anastasia, didn’t like it. Even though it was his closest friend, Anastasia will always be more important in the end.

    “Speaking of the… royal family, what about His Highness Jeremy?”

    Since I have learned that William has received only the minimum necessary education in the royal family, what about His Royal Highness Jeremy, the Second Prince? Was Jeremy like William?

    “… His Highness The Second Prince was self-taught. So, I also do not know much.”

    “…Is that so?”

    What kind of brain do you have when everything was self-taught!? I thought that William would be quite great because he was the main hero of the otome game, but was Jeremy even better?

    “Well, it doesn’t matter. His Royal Highness the Second Prince has inherited too much of the royal family’s good-natured character. That’s why he doesn’t have the qualities to stand on top of people.”

    If brother said so, then it should be like that. I thought to myself as I removed Jeremy from my mind. I think that was my mistake.

    ————————————–

    There are obvious educational gaps between the Duke of Strass and the Royal Family. Overall, the Duke of Strass has been given a higher level of education, and the education given to William from Mateus seems to be “minimal” ……(・ω・)
