"Shall I guide you directly, young master? Or would you prefer to look around a bit more?"

It was Beatrice who asked the question, stepping in for the usual store staff. We were at a department store owned by the Crate family.

This was the same place where, upon learning about the presence of another possessor like Priscilla, and of Leona and Aria, the original protagonists, I had brought them for a sort of bonding activity. We had given them money and sent them off with some items.

Today, just like back then, the store had been cleared out, but this time, it was on my direct orders rather than Beatrice’s whim.

‘The Crown Princess in a swimsuit... This can't be allowed.’

What was going to happen today couldn’t be known by others, and certainly couldn't be shown to them. It hadn’t been long since Laura had revealed her real gender, and if it got out that she came to the Crate family's department store to buy a swimsuit, I would inevitably be dragged deeper into the situation.

My parents were already troubled by the sudden increase in requests from nobles for audiences with me. I didn't want to add to their headaches.

To make matters worse, even nobles who frequented both Diana’s trading company and Tricia’s gambling den had increased. Apparently, they were subtly asking for my elder sister, which made their intentions obvious.

'And Rosaria, too.'

Rosaria, the saint, was a whole other story.@@novelbin@@

The fact that Beatrice was attending to us instead of the department store staff made it clear. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust the store’s employees, but today required 125% trust, so it had to be someone reliable.

Beatrice, hearing this, was clearly overjoyed.

“Let’s pick out swimsuits! The sooner we do, the sooner I can show you!”
