Introduction to the Date Pre-Practice

It was questionable whether a pre-practice was truly necessary, but despite her doubts, Laura had gently insisted that Anna go along with it.

The reason for this, Laura herself hadn’t given much thought to. Perhaps it was just her nature as a villainess, but she only speculated on that possibility.@@novelbin@@

A villainess is always followed by her followers. In this sense, Anna (since her return to Earth, excluding Leon, who shares blood with her) might be considered her first follower. Maybe that’s why Laura was so lenient with her.

Or maybe she was just treating her like a cat.

What difference would there really be between Anna, who couldn’t even do housework, and a domesticated cat? Laura didn’t feel confident enough to explain the difference clearly.

Anyway, the date practice went ahead for this reason, but both Anna and Laura were starting to realize something.

Aurora had no aptitude for date practices.

“You’re so arrogant. How dare you eat at the same table as me? Are you challenging my authority as the Duke’s daughter?”

“…Then, where should I eat?”

“Do you not know? Nobles eat first, and only after that, commoners are allowed to eat. Didn’t they teach you this?”

“Laura-chan… Could we change the setup? It’s not progressing.”

The roleplay of “a commoner going on a date with the Duke’s daughter” was too difficult for Anna.

So, this time, they switched to a different scenario.

“Anna, your table manners are terrible.”

“…Huh?”

“You keep placing your fork and knife incorrectly. And even when you use the knife, isn’t it basic etiquette to cut the food into a proper bite-size? Stuffing your mouth to the point of bulging your cheeks is an act that destroys your dignity as a noble. Nobles should eat slowly and elegantly, not shove food into their mouths like commoners.”

When they proceeded with the setup of nobles from the same rank, Laura kept critiquing Anna’s manners.
