I'm a Commoner, But I Live to Seduce the Duchess ch2

p2
>You lowly commoner! How dare you share a be-...
>bed with the great duchess Eva!!

>...

>She's lecturing me while doing her job...
>>frozen
>Hey! Not so close, you two!
>Amazing!
>Risette is the daughter of the prestigious Marquis Barnes' family.

>Prestigious?

p3
>That's right! I am the very daughter of the esteemed "ice emperor", Rudolph Barnes.
>The Ice!
>Fairy!!
>Risette!!

p4
>That's amazing!
>Risette loves her father<3

>Thank you so much! The unusual weather in the north is driving more monsters to the south than we usually get each year...
>and we haven't been able to keep up with preserving the meat we get from exterminating them.

>I requested the Barnes family send one of their ice magicians,
>but to think you yourself would come, Lady Risette!
>It's only natural that I'd come to the aid of my best friend Eva's territory!
>...But still...

>What's the deal
>with that commoner?

p5
>I've never seen magic before! Amazing!
>Of course it's amazing!
>The most important thing is being born with magic potential!

>I did it!!!
>>Water
>>Daddy~
>>Light - Water - Wind - Fire - Earth +ex.
>>Attribute exam

>>Lessons
>At home and school,
>you spend years learning the basics and other characteristic attributes.

>>Overwhelmingly intense sports-oriented training
>I won't lost to anyone!!
>Eep
>>Brothers

>Just because you have a water attribute doesn't mean you can freeze a bucket of water just like that.
>Freeze~!!
>>Specific guidance.
>Great Magician!!
>Like me!!

>I learned my magic from my father, the best of the best.
>You should consider it an honor to even look at it, commoner.

>Can you use magic, Eva?
>Are you listening!?

p6
>The most I can do is some simple earth magic. It's not that interesting.
>Yours is a wonderful earth magic than can enrichen soil, Eva!
>As a lord, you should be proud of it!

>Master Adele never taught me magic.
>So you can use it!!
>She didn't teach me back then either.
>It's too dangerous for children to learn.

>Once you're able to count to ten,
>you can go to the church to see if you have magic potential.
>You'll learn what attribute suits you there.
>Heh~

p7
>If you're interested, Lyra, you should come with me to the church next...

>I wouldn't if I were you. You'd only despair over having no potential whatsoever.
>My father says only a fraction of commoners can use magic!

>Eva... I know kindness is a virtue,
>but you're spoiling this commoner you picked up way too much.
>Keep it in moderation and take her back where you found her.
>Ah... The stray dog treatment.

>...Ah! You've got it wrong, Risette.
>Ufufu

p8
>Lyra is my destined one.
>She's gonna live here forever.

>HUH!?

p9
>Um... What's going on here...?

>I'm going behind Eva's back
>and taking you away in this carriage, obviously.

>...I figured that part out...
>But you're rushing so far into these woods that you can't tell where the path is...

>...I heard all about how Eva got attached to this commoner from who knows where.
>I'm her BEST FRIEND, after all.
>She's really emphasising the best friend part...

p10
>...A mere commoner probably wouldn't understand,
>but even those within this country have high expectations of Eva, the "gospel of the frontier".
>Do you think having a commoner next to her is going to benefit her?

>...Mrs Maiyer hired me to be her guard...
>You shouldn't lie.
>...

>If you understand, swear that you'll never come near Eva ever again.
>Do that, and I'll see you to the nearest village.

>...You really care for Eva, Lady Risette.

p11
>But as long as she won't abandon me,
>I'll be by Eva's side.
>That's what Eva desires too.
>I'd never lie by saying I won't come near her ever again.

>...Eva is my goddess.

>...Looks like negotitations have failed.

p12
>Get moving.

>Now then,
>I remember the way back,
>...so I guess I'll head home.

p13
>Lady Risette, are you sure about just leaving her there?
>There's plenty of edible fruit around this area,
>and there's no monsters in these woods...

>...She'll be fine, you hear me?
>Milady isn't well-suited for doing bad things...

>...Milady! What's that...!?

>...What's going on here?

p14
>Kuroiro...!?

>I thought you said there were no monsters in these woods!
>It was you who said that, Milady...

>Go pick up that commoner and take her somewhere safe.
>Milady!?
>I'll take those monsters down.

p15
>They might attack the nearby village,
>so I can't just leave them be.
>Get going... quickly!
>Please don't be reckless!!

p17
>Okay... All that's left is
>...where did they go?
>Milady~
>!?

>Huh!? What are you doing back here!?
>Good job finding her!!
>This girl was really close by~
>I was surprised...
>Went straight there.

>I haven't finished things up here yet!
>I told you to take her somewhere safe!

p18
>Milady! Behind you!!

>...Why you!

p19
>Excuse me, Lady Risette.

>I'm gonna put you down, okay?
>Wh-What were those movements just now...?
>Ah... I see.

p20
>Like this...?

>...Huh?

p21
>Freeze.

p22
>...Yep!
>I did it.
>...? ...? ...What the...

>How did you use magic!?
>I copied you, Lady Risette.

p23
>...Copied?
>I'm pretty confident about my eyesight and memorization.

>She said I could ride~!!
>No noble can perform magic just by looking at it.

>I'm glad I got to ride a carriage.
>And her power... is comparable to Father's...?

p24
>I-Is it me... or do you two... seem rather close?

>Not really? I just think that, for a commoner, she's not too bad.
>It might be good for a noble to broaden their views and have at least one commoner around.

>Besides, this girl has a knack for ice magic, so I think she should join the Barnes family!
>No way!

>What was that? After the great Lady Risette invited you!
>L-Lyra, you...

p25
>You seduced Risette!?
>You cheater!!!
>Eh?
>Awoo~

>Did you hear?

>The Maiyer and Barnes family have recommended a commoner join the school...
>It seems both of their daughters have grown attached to her!
>A commoner!?

>Nobles were seduced by a commoner?
>I don't know who she is... but those daughters must have something wrong with them.
