I notice my guards and maids staring at me in stunned silence.
“What are you all spacing out for?! Those men might come back any moment! Get yourselves together and let’s escape to the estate while we still can!”
“Yes, Young Lady!!!”
“Yes, Young Lady!!!”
“Yes, Young Lady!!!”

…And my eyes are red too, you know.
Rocked by the carriage’s motion, I twirled my long hair between my fingers.
Having red hair is another peculiar thing about me.
Incidentally, though it’s unrelated to what’s happened so far…
I dislike how connecting the first and last syllables of my name makes them sound somewhat similar.
“Haa…”
As for why I’m being jostled in this carriage right now…
I’m heading to my estate to spend the remaining time before school starts peacefully there.
Apparently, word about my recent meeting with His Highness Vincent has spread as gossip.
No idea where it started, though.
Rumor has it I’m supposedly his betrothed or something.
Because of that, invitations to tea parties started pouring in by the bucketful.
Give me a break!
Prince Vincent and I are not engaged. It’s more like on hold.
I still feel like I’m being targeted, though.
Personally, I’d rather not get dragged into anything too troublesome.
Compared to the other duke’s daughters, I have almost nothing to offer.
Maybe that’s why the weight of my Gift matters more…
“You are the Saint of Clouds, right?”
His Highness probably thinks I have other hidden abilities, but according to the official story, I’m just a dud gift holder who can only cloud the sky for a little while.
… That is the reason why I do wonder why it’s treated like a ‘Great Blessing’.
If I were to become His Highness’s fiancée now, it could easily become a weakness others could exploit.
What is more, knowing His Highness, he’d probably try to corner me into using my gift. It’s terrifying how likely that seems.
“Then I guess I have no choice but to keep my distance, huh?”
Yeah, yeah. This choice can’t be wrong.
As I sat alone in the carriage, coming to terms with it.
The carriage was heading towards the domain, traveling along a road flanked by forests, not very busy with people.
That’s when it happened.
RATTLING!
“Yikes!”

But the royal family has approached me, asking if you’d be willing to meet him.”
Mother said.
His Royal Highness, the First Prince… His name is Vincent von Gramsart.
As expected, he’s a prince with golden hair and blue eyes.
His name is a fairly common name, if anything.
The family name is somewhat distinctive, though…
Even so, his name doesn’t ring a bell, like a character I remember from my past life or something..
Would seeing his face bring something to mind?
Continue reading “[I was called the Cloudy Saint! ~What is the true nature of the absurd gift the reincarnated villainess received?~] Ch 03 – The Prince’s Inquiry” →Nicholas, who leaves the house of the current commoner Fee, former Felicia Swallows, the duke’s daughter, was heading to his carriage when realized that one of his two guards stopped walking, so he also stopped, turned on his heels and to ask his guard what was happening.
The face of the man was pale like sick.

His Majesty the King, who generally preferred a laissez-faire approach to raising children, had called me as soon as I entered the palace.
The fact that I received a formal notification meant it likely concerned state affairs, not family matters.
“Huh… What could he possibly want?”
Continue reading “[The reincarnated princess wants territory rather than love, so she needs a political marriage!] Ch 03 – My Beloved Sorcerer Is Too Cute – Part 1” →At the mansion of the Count Saiharden family in the royal capital, my fate — that of [Lion Saiharden] — was about to be decided.
“…L-Lord Leon’s skill is… 【Recycle Shop】.”
The elderly priest summoned from the church announced this in a voice thick with bewilderment.
In that instant, the grand hall, illuminated by a magnificent chandelier, fell into an icy silence.
In this country, there exists a “ceremony” every newborn must undergo.
It is the 【Rite of Baptism】, performed on the day one turns eight.
Every human born into this world is granted a unique skill by the God of Creation.
If granted the skill of swordsmanship, one becomes a master swordsman overnight.
If granted the skill of magic, one gains the ability to wield magic freely.
Once granted, a skill cannot be changed for life. Therefore, what skill one received determined their future path.
“…What is that? Recycling?!”
