Chapter 6
I’m the Roxanne Grand Ducal family’s First Princess . Holding me in contempt is equivalent to holding the Grand Duke of Roxanne, his Royal Highness, in contempt . It seems you have at least five lives . ”
The maids blanched .
It was because there was nothing incorrect about what I had said .
No matter how strong the stepmother who stands behind them is, how dare a mere maid affront a princess? To tell the truth, it was a crime that would result in death .
“W, we have never disdained your Highness, the princess… . ”
The pain of her cheek long forgotten, the head maid fumbled over her words .
“Really?”
I tilted my head a little to the side and looked straight at her . When the maid met my scarlet gaze, she froze like a mouse who had seen a snake .
“Is that so?”
The head maid gulped nervously . Confusion, shock, and fear welled up in her eyes .
At last, the maid lowered her gaze .
“I, I apologize . ”
I decided to stop when I heard the apology .
In order to prevent similar situations from occurring, I thought it was necessary to give a firmer warning, but that was too tedious . And I was hungry .
“Bring out the food . ”
“…Yes . ”
The maids’ polite manner couldn’t even begin to compare with their attitude from before .
The kitchen was bustling as the servants prepared food, and soon enough a savory meal was brought out to the dining hall .

A cold hors d’oeuvre, soup with shrimp, fish, a main course of medium-rare steak, a refreshing sorbet, and a sweet dessert accompanied with the Bordeaux wine that I had mentioned .
It was a full course meal fit for an honorable personage .
As I cut my steak, I thought to myself .
‘This won’t do . I need to find a way . ’
Though I had reprimanded the head maid as an example, the number of people who scorned Princess Rubia would not have been a mere one or two . It had to be the entire castle .
As I chewed my meat, I thought of a million ways to overcome this situation .
‘Which life was it? Was it the 7th, or 14th, maybe the 33rd?’
This was not the first instance .
Every time I was reincarnated, I would either earn favor through charity, possess cutthroat authority, or conspire the fall of my enemies, each of which was a potential means of resolving the situation at hand .

These were all possible solutions . To be honest, Rubia’s stepmother… wasn’t a very difficult villianess to bring down .
However as I laboriously sifted through my options, I quickly became bored .
‘So tedious . ’
No matter the method, each required a certain amount of effort . I found it annoying to even lift a finger, so where would the effort come from?
Also, if through that effort, they all came to not abhor me, but instead stand by my side? Then would I still be able to live the life of a couch potato that I so desired? Definitely not .
‘In the end, the fate of a princess is but one . I’ll probably be sold into an arranged marriage . ’
My marriage had already long been decided . In other words, Princess Rubia already had a fiance .

‘Hmm, how troublesome . ’
I frowned as the forgotten fiance came to mind .
Unexpectedly, Rubia’s fiance was a rather virtuous figure . No, it wasn’t just to the point of virtuosity . From all the men on the continent, he was considered the best candidate for a son-in-law .
‘The West Empire’s Fourth Prince . He has no right to the throne, but he has amassed more than enough popularity and capability to even threaten the Crown Prince . In reality, it is unknown whether the Crown Prince or the Fourth Prince will inherit the throne . ’
After I thought up to this point, I had on a bitter expression .
If I was to marry a figure with an exceptional background like the Fourth Prince, this life would be ruined . Even in this uncertainty, I knew for certain that I had to avoid this marriage .
After I chewed my last portion of steak, I stood up and downed the rest of the wine in my glass .
“Your Highness?”
The head maid approached me carefully . I looked at her swollen cheek and spoke .
