I Became the Maid of the Lout Prince

A rather childish argument broke out, but in the end, the three of us still ended up having tea together.

Even though we graduated in different years, we were all academy classmates. Aside from Isabel, these two were the closest friends I had, so there was no way I could exclude either of them.

“You've been here with Prince Antonio since a week ago?”

“Yeah.”

“For someone who's the Vice-Lord of the Red Tower, you seem pretty carefree. Or is it that you have nothing to do at the tower and are just wandering around leisurely?”@@novelbin@@

“...Antonio said he'd use his royal privileges to let me access the magic tomes in the cathedral library. Not that a spinster would understand what it feels like to have a fiancé.”

“W-Who are you calling a spinster?! I'm just a career woman, thank you very much!”

...Well, objectively, she was a spinster. I simply chose not to say it out loud to avoid hurting Rizi's feelings.

At the moment, Rizi was the only person in my circle who hadn't even started dating. Most of us either married right after graduating from the academy, like I did, or, if not ready for marriage, at least got engaged, like Agnes. At the very least, they were in relationships, like Natalie and Thomas.

What was more puzzling was that Rizi didn’t even seem interested in dating. With her looks, who knows what she was planning to do with them, but I'd never heard any romance rumors about her.

“Sure, go ahead and marry your work. I'll be marrying a prince.”

“Y-You're just as much a spinster as I am since you haven't had a wedding yet!”
