Irreplaceable Person

My first impression of her was nothing more than a「girl.」
She was girl that was selected by the Country of Gran to become the lady-in-waiting of the princess from the neighboring country of Quanda. I had heard that she was a talented girl who had been selected as an exchange student to Quanda and graduated from the Royal Academy within a year of her return from the neighboring, but she does not look like that; she is a slender and unreliable girl.
The princess heavily favored the girl, despite the fact that there were other daughters who served as attendants.
I honestly thought, “Oh well.”
The fact that the maid of honor who was supposed to support the princess, who had not received the Queen’s education, was a 16-year-old girl made me feel uneasy. The royal palace is a magical place. It is by no means a world of glitter and glamour. It’s full of malice, treachery, and deceit. It’s impossible for the Kingsguard alone to protect the nine-year-old princess, who is to become the Crown Prince’s wife, both physically and mentally. The presence of the lady-in-waiting is very important. A 16-year-old girl would be too much of a burden.
At the time when the princess was married, most of the nobles, with a few exceptions, were flattering to the royal brother and queen because Her Royal Highness the Princess was pregnant. In such a situation, there is no way that a nine-year-old child, even a princess of an allied country, and a child of a viscount’s family can compete. That is, if they could literally survive.
Both His Highness and I had to put our heads together.
Of course, we didn’t do anything about it. The best possible personnel were sent to the site, and a full-scale defense was put in place.
Then, the young girl came to the high priest, requesting to see His Highness. We had no doubt that she had come to plead for her resignation.
But what the girl said was a direct appeal to His Highness.
A sixteen-year-old, unshielded lady-in-waiting, without fear, speaks to His Highness in a dignified manner.
「Does His Highness intend to leave the protection of his wife to others?」
We thought we were protecting them, but we were stunned.
「We are grateful to Myra-sama for having such excellent people working with us. However, if you are concerned for Myra-sama’s safety, please make an effort to make love to her first, Your Highness.」
It would be a shield to protect the Crown Princess more than anything else. She said.
「Does His Highness believe that a 20 year old himself cannot develop love with a 9 year old? But she will not be a child forever. Myra-sama will undoubtedly become a beautiful and intelligent woman.」
And it really does come true.
As the girl said, the princess grew more beautiful and intelligent day by day.
She was a child, so much so that His Highness, who had loved her like a younger sister, was gradually shaken in his heart.
The princess, who had been underestimated as a child, became the Crown Princess and then the queen. And the girl, likewise, became a woman.
It was only natural that the surroundings would change along with them.
Those who had served at the behest of the king became loyal to her from the bottom of their hearts, and there were many voices of praise for Her Highness both inside and outside the Kingdom of Gran. The number of aristocrats who flatter the royal princess is decreasing, and now the only people who follow her are ignorant ladies who have just made their debut in society. The lady of decency, the lady of the house, moved away.
It didn’t matter that a knight of the Kingsguard was her fiancé. In fact, she was even taking advantage of that. After all she had accomplished, what was there to doubt? That is how much she had earned the unwavering trust of those around her.
I realized how much my own eyes had been clouded.
There is no such thing as a slender, unreliable girl anywhere.
There was a rare combination of boldness and meticulousness, two contradictory qualities.
There is no way there can be a replacement.
There can be no one else like her.
Just, well, I’ll give up teasing her like that.
I don’t deny that I’m amused, but I do it for my own reasons.
