Victoria Deicides
" But it'll be safer in Paradise!"
"... But... It will be safer in Paradise..."" And have Kim leave all of her friends that she's made? Do you have any idea how hard it would be to move towns!? I mean, be realistic! What would I even do!? I've been a housewife for the past 14 years! Who would hire me!?"" D- Don't look at me! Speak to your wife, I'm just your mouthpiece!"" Well... You'd be the one deciding on her job, you're the Lord of Paradise after all..."" Oh... Right, yeah... I am."" What?" This has been going on for 10 minutes now. Mrs.
Victoria would scream and give somewhat logical questions to Patrick's idea, then Patrick would look for an answer that would appease his wife's mind. And I was stuck in the middle. I don't know if she meant for it, but I can't help but feel that Mrs. Victoria is yelling at me. Now she's looking at me with a questioning glare as she couldn't hear what Patrick had said. I quickly relayed what he had said." Well, he was just pointing out that I would be the one at the end of the day to give you a job.""
Well, have you thought of a job that I could do, Matthew?" She's still glaring. I need an answer now! Uhmmm.... Flowers!" I'd hire you as a Gardener!"" A Gardener!? I've never worked as a Gardener before."" But Patrick said you used to work in a flower shop?"" Yes, my Family did own a flower shop and I did help, but that's vastly different than being a Gardener. That's like saying a miner mined some ore, so he can also smith it into a sword you know?"" Also, we have a Gardener for our mansion, My Love.""
Oh right, Deborah... Well, who said she needed to work exclusively for mansion? The farm could use a team to tend to the plant life inside and around it, right? Hell, we haven't gotten a Community Event Team assembled yet either? We only really throw banquets whenever I think it's a good idea, right?"" Well, yes, but..." A look of confusion came over everyone's faces." What, what's the matter?"" What's a "Community Event Team"?"" What? It's a group that plans for events to happen in a city.
Like what the town should look like or what the theme of a party should be? They've done it in the Capital already? Don't you remember your Birthday, Sarah? Or the party after we successfully repelled the Hero Party?"" I know what you're speaking about, but for each of those events, my Mother was the one in charge of making those decisions. That's also how it works everywhere else as well, My Love.""
So, you're saying that the Wife of whoever holds the Authority of the Land is the one who designs the parties and the like?" Sarah nodded to my words." Where would you even hear of something like an "Event Team"? Is that something that Promethia does, Matthew?"" No, my Family have been to Promethia quite a few times, Mrs. Victoria. They do it the same way that we all do, the Queen planned all of the parties in Whitestone." I may have messed up... They're wondering where the idea came from...
I need to cover up with something quickly..." Well, I was raised away from civilization, so the idea of something as big as a city-wide celebration made me think that there had to have been a team to share the burden with. I see I was wrong now." If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it." But a team..." Mrs. Victoria looked like she was thinking about something."
Darling, are you thinking about how the 3 of us thought about how to properly hold a taste test for the dairy products?" Anna spoke to me and tried to follow up what I said with an explanation about how I came to the conclusion of there being a team. I quickly jumped onto it." Yes! it made me think that it was normal, I had no idea it wasn't. Good thing I only embarrassed myself here instead of at a Formal Event or something!" I tried to play it off as best as I could. Mrs.
Veronica continued to ruminate on something by herself... I still wasn't sure if that was a good or bad thing yet." Hahaha! Your kind of lame, you know that, Matthew?" Kim was laughing at me, that beats being afraid of me, I guess? With the mother and daughter seemingly buying my lies, I thought I was safe... Until I heard a whisper.
"... Lying..." Princess Alice uttered a word. I think she said it so gently and quietly, intending only for Sarah and Anna to hear her, since I was focusing on the 3 girls' reactions to my lie, I was able to hear her. I looked at her and she made a surprising expression towards me. It was halfway between a pouting face and a glare? What is she thinking about? Is she mad because she thinks I lied to her? What am I going to do? I'm pretty sure I told her I didn't want anyone knowing about my actual origins?" Okay!""
What?" Mrs. Victoria said something quite loudly and I didn't know what she was speaking about." If I were to come with you, like how My Husband would like me to, could you form a team for me to be a part of and have me in charge of growing and maintaining flower beds along with decorating the city with different flowers and the like?"" Well, how many members of the team are you looking to have?""
I'm not sure for the amount overall, but I'd assume I'd need at least 3 other people who would be well-versed in Botany like me. Would that be possible?" I shrugged my shoulders to Mrs. Victoria's words." I don't see why not? If you'd like to do it, I'll find you a team, eventually. I feel like I should also add in that there're quite a few abandoned houses in Paradise still, so you'd be able to pick which one you'd like to live in.
Also, you could also open a flower shop or anything else if working in an Event Team wouldn't work for you. Does that sound decent?"" That sounds almost too good to be true..." Mrs. Victoria looked at me with suspicion in her eyes. I guess it could sound too amazing to someone, but I need to allay her doubts, so she's not as concerned." What's the matt-"" Mrs. Victoria, I know it might be hard to believe, but he's really only trying to complete Patrick's final request.
I would like to remind you that he's a Paladin, even us Demons should remember what it means when someone is chosen to have that Job." Anna cut in from what I was saying and seemed to be defending me. And she wasn't the only one to do that." Mrs. Victoria, speaking as someone who originally was quite suspicious of him, Matthew Drake really isn't planning anything bad here. I can swear on that as the 1st Princess of Bestia." Mrs.
Victoria's expression began to soften, but she still seemed to be holding onto something in her mind." Mrs. Victoria, do you think I would've Married a man who would do something terrible to a Widow or her Daughter?"" Wha- Princess Sara-"" Now, now. Like I've said, I'm just "Sarah" for today. I know of the stories that are running through your head right now. Tales like Borris the Bloodbather or Gen the Torturer, but Our Husband would never do something like that, I could swear on anything you'd wish.
I can promise you wholeheartedly that Matthew Drake is a caliber of man you'd struggle to find here in Gaia." I was surprised by Sarah's words. As she spoke, a gust of wind had blown in from the window and her beautiful white hair flowed in the wind like clouds in the sky." I mean, there is a reason I forci-... Married him as soon as I could, Mrs. Victoria. The same holds true for my Sister Wife, Anna. Isn't that right, Anna?"
Sarah looked to Anna, and she began to nod to her words as the wind lifted her pretty dark-green hair into the air as well." I can also swear on anything you'd like me to Mrs. Victoria. Originally, I worked as his Maid when he was first brought into the Royal Palace. He's unlike anyone I had ever met before, his kindness is easy to see as long as you honestly try to see him." I would've thought that the Gods themselves were trying to give Mrs. Victoria a sign...
That was until I noticed the mana leaking out of Sarah... She's using her Wind Magic to trick Mrs. Victoria. Well, I appreciate what she's trying to do, I can't let Mrs. Victoria accept a deal like this due to trickery." Mrs. Vic-"" Ah, Mom! Maybe we should?"" What?" Kim interrupted me just as I was about to explain what was going on." I mean, I kind of don't want to stay here anymore. Even being in this house hurts now that Daddy and Big Bro aren't here.
It's the same for you too, that's why you gave up and just sat there for so long. I think we need to try something different, otherwise we'll just end up on this bed again." Kim spoke to her mother calmly, but I could tell each word made the tears that were forming in her eyes harder and harder to keep in. Mrs. Victoria turned to me and sighed." I apologize, Matthew... It's just that... it's rare for a Noble to care so much about the affairs of us Commoners..." Mrs.
Victoria seemed to have come to a conclusion in her mind after Kim spoke to her. After she apologized, I saw that she had something else to say. I gave her my full attention in return." Well, you see... I'd like to know if you could do something for me first. Before we move to Paradise as a Family."" Thank the Gods!" Kim hugged her mother as Patrick began to pray... I think? I nodded my head to Mrs. Victoria and waited to see what it was she wanted from me.
I hoped I could hear her over Patrick's mumbling behind me.
