✔DROP!! A TALE OF THE FRAGRANCE PRINCESS

Volume 5, Act 47: Entering the Big Bookcase Part 1

A short distance away from the princes room, Cordelia called out to Clyde who was walking in front of her.

Clyde-sama, you said you would take me to the doctors office, but its fine after all. It doesnt hurt that much anymore.

Clyde, who stopped and turned around, scowled.

Itll be troublesome if you say it hurts later.

I wont. Also, if it does hurt later, then I can see a doctor at home. They wont investigate much if I say it was an unfortunate accident.

Cordelia was shocked at Clydes unapproachable attitude. She had used his idea to leave Sylvester, but she thought that his preconceptions were quite biased. He still faithfully took her to the doctors office, even though he was treating her like that, but she felt that he was treating her too much like a bad person.

However, no matter what he thought, she really didnt need the doctors office. Rather, for Cordelia, there was a possibility that going to the doctors office would cause a situation she was trying to avoid.

For example if I get treated at the doctors office, then Marquis Flantheim might be informed of my injury. Id feel awful if the Marquis were to worry about me.

Clive moved his eyebrows at those words.

For Cordelia, however, she was more worried about Elvis hearing about it than worrying Marquis Flantheim, and Clive also seemed to have realised something.

But, I cant go straight back to His Highness.

If thats the case, then why dont you show me the way to the Big Bookcase?

Indeed, if he were to return straight away then it would seem unnatural.

In that case, Cordelia said a wish that was just right for killing time. She only knew how to get from the east gate to where she was now.

However, Clive hesitated again.

(One more push.)

Clive still didnt seem convinced, but if he showed hesitation, then she still had plenty of chances to convince him.

Clive-sama, you said you would take me to the doctors office, but you didnt say that you would take me to see the doctor.

So, it would be fine if we just pass the doctors office.

You say things like Vernoux-dono.

Cordelia forced herself to smile but didnt know how to reply to Clives remark, since it was clear that he was angry at Vernoux. His words stated that he didnt get along well with Vernoux. She could neither confirm nor deny that because she didnt want to pick a fight with him. She knew that she had freedom, and she hoped that she wasnt as free as Vernoux.

However, if he says that he doesnt get along well with Vernoux, then Cordelia was the same.

Well, fine.

Thank you very much.

Ah, let me tell you one thing. His Highness rarely visits the Big Bookcase. Even if he does, he does it early in the morning or late at night.

It sounded like a warning, Hes not someone you can meet. However, Cordelia smiled from the bottom of her heart at the unexpectedly useful piece of information. She could spend time at ease in the Big Bookcase.

Then, Ill be able to concentrate on the books too.

However, Cordelia, who had spoken that out of relief, panicked a little because she might have misspoken. It was a remark which sounded as if the Prince was a disturbance, depending on who heard it. Then, that would be a bit rude.
