I Picked Up the Trash Others Threw Away - Chapter 7.1
Chapter 7.1
“Young Lady Audrey, how I wish you hadn’t met that man!”
No way… How infamous was he that even a maid knew about him?
I moved my eyes around instead of answering.
Sarah, who was rarely interested in anything, grabbed me by the shoulders and began to shake me wildly. My hair would get ruined at this rate.
“Why would that man marry you? He must have seduced you with some hidden intention for a night out. There’s a reason he’s not married yet.”
“Ah, whatever. I don’t know. We’re getting married. We already wrote the contract.”
“A contract? C-could it be a marriage certificate?”
“It’s not that, but roughly the same thing.”
“You haven’t been threatened, have you?”
I was the one who threatened him. Otherwise, the man wouldn’t agree to marry me.
I held up my index finger and waved it to both sides. Shh, my little Sarah.
“Don’t try to know too much. You’ll get hurt.”
“… You really changed a lot, Young Lady.”
“A woman’s transformation is innocence.”
I stood up to go out. I had a feeling that today would be a great day.
Hello, new Audrey’s life!
***
The library of the royal palace had been a frequent stop for me since I started going out.
I was acquainted with the librarian, so she gave me a slight nod as I came through the entrance.
This was a place that commoners could also visit, so both nobles and commoners were sitting and reading books.
The heroine of the original work, who was a commoner, first met the male protagonist in this library. It was also at this library that she made her first aristocratic friend.
In short, this place was a meeting place. If I looked around carefully, I could also obtain a surprising harvest.
My reason for coming to the library today was to briefly look into how the wedding of a nobleman would proceed.
Even if it was a wedding in name only, I wouldn’t be embarrassed if I knew the order and customs of the ceremony in advance.
I chose a thin book with lots of pictures over the complex and thick ones. Fortunately, weddings in this world did not seem to be much different from the weddings I had known before.
I completely skipped the virtues the bride had to keep or the details of family life after marriage. What was the point in knowing that?
In fact, this kind of dictionary information was one thing, but what worried me the most about getting married was the first meeting between the families.
Both parents would hear the unexpected news that we were getting married, but would they really want to come here?
The second son was the only thing that troubled Count Malekiah’s family, but the Delphonie barony had too many problems. If we were to count the disadvantages, there would be no end to it.
‘Even if we do manage to get married, living with my in-laws could be difficult.’
In order to get permission to marry, it was necessary to give a good impression to the count’s family. I needed to think about how I could become a beloved daughter-in-law.
After finishing reading appropriately, I took a look around the library to make sure there wasn’t anyone of interest.
Maybe it was because everyone was focusing on their books, but no one in particular stood out.
I was about to leave the library and move to the salon, wondering if today was also a waste of time, when a familiar face entered my sight. It was Trish, a man who shone brightly even among the other nobles.
But why was that man in the royal palace?
“Sir Trish?”
Trish turned his head when his name was called, then turned around again as if he didn’t know me, startled at the sight of my face.
I couldn’t believe he ignored me even though he recognized me. I hurried to him, feeling ashamed.
“Why are you ignoring me?”
“I didn’t expect you would be in a place like this.”
“Oh my, why? Do women like me not care about learning? I come to the library quite often. What brings you to the royal palace?”
“I have some business.”
Unlike when I first met Trish at the gambling hall, he was blunt and untalkative.
I didn’t know if that was how he was, or if it was because we met at the royal palace.
In any case, since we had met like this, I thought it would be nice to show others how we were talking, so I deliberately continued the conversation.
“If you’re not in a hurry, let’s have a cup of tea at the salon. I’ll wait until you’re finished with your business.”
“Well, it’s not like we’re in the kind of relationship to calmly have a cup of tea, is it?”
“Soon we’ll be in the kind of relationship to get married, so what can you do? We have to show people how we socialize with each other.”
