How To Save A Time Limited Young Master

Just as Heloise was panicking.

With a smile on her face, Isabel spoke.

“Your eyes are really beautiful.”

“Yes? My eyes?”

Heloise tilted her head at Isabel’s abrupt remark.

She nodded and looked at Heloise, fascinated.

“Your eyes look like a golden colour, perhaps because of the dim lighting.”

“My eyes are an ordinary brown colour.”

“Is that so? Now that you’ve mentioned it, please accompany me in a conversation. What’s your name?”

“Oh, my name is Heloise Lorca, Your Highness the Queen…”

“Oh, yes, Miss Heloise.”

She looked at her surroundings for a moment, before sitting on a broken stone wall.

“Shall we sit here for a moment? The moonlight is beautiful.”

“……”

Though the words to ask her if she should go to the banquet since it’s her son’s birthday was stuck in her throat, Heloise couldn’t raise that topic up easily, so she had no choice but to sit beside Isabel meekly.

Isabel seemed to be quite taken with Heloise.

“It’s surprising to hear that His Highness Blake was staying here, right? It’s a little exaggerated to say that he lives here, but he would play here often. He’s been like that ever since he was young.”

“Ah, yes….”

Isabel murmured with a small smile like she was recalling Blake’s childhood.

As Heloise watched this scene, she recalled that this queen supported Blake as the next king.

She was an unambitious woman that left her perfectly normal son alone and pushed the deceased first queen’s son to become king.

‘I guess she’s worried as her stepson isn’t ambitious.’

“I’m really lucky to be able to serve a divine being in close quarters.”

“What?”

“Your Highness.”

As Isabel was muttering to herself, a servant appeared from behind and called out for her.

He looked impatient, perhaps wanting to say that it was time to return.

“His Highness the King is looking for you.”

“Alright.”

After getting up first, Isabel smiled and reached a hand out towards Heloise.

“It was nice to meet you. I hope that we can meet again if an occasion arises.”

“Me too… Oh, Your Highness the Queen.”

“I seem to have talked too much about unnecessary things, because I felt comfortable with you. Pretend that you didn’t hear what I’ve said today.”

After leaving those words behind, she followed the servant and left the ruined castle first.

Now that she was left alone, Heloise muttered with a dispirited face.

“……What in the world was that?”

When she returned to the banquet hall that Prince Astor’s birthday celebrations were held at, it was as if Isabel’s previous lonely and mysterious appearance was washed away, and her dignity as a queen was apparent to all.

Heloise looked for Blake as she wanted to ask what the queen meant, but he was already taken away by Astor.

Apparently Zenon had returned to Langbert Mansion by the order of Marquis Velks even before the banquet was halfway through.

When Heloise returned back to the Viscounty and burrowed into her blankets, she contemplated the tiring day she had just had and recalled Isabel.

She couldn’t forget what Isabel said.

“It’s weird.”

It felt a little weird.

She believed that she grasped almost everything about the game, but it seemed that there were things that she was still unaware of.

It wasn’t out of the realm of possibility, as she didn’t watch all of the Endings.

Heloise suddenly began to feel anxious.

‘As expected, I have to meet the astrologer, Medicis…’

The <Harvest Festival> will take place in a few months. When the capital is crowded and the market is bustling, the underworld events will also begin.

Heloise pressed her lips together tightly and pledged.

She had to go to the underworld alone this time, without Sienna or Zenon.

“In order to do that.”

She needed [Evil] for that to happen.

A tiny bit of evil to open the tightly closed tent of the astrologer.

⋄────∘°❃°∘────⋄

After returning home, the first thing Heloise did was to locate the reward and favour she had received in exchange for attending such a tiring party.

The first thing she took out was the ch11 that was hidden in the closet.

‘As long as I have this, I’ll be able to manipulate the ability stats and watch the Princess Ending without having to go through the Bad Ending.’

If Sienna becomes a Princess early, <Regression> wouldn’t be triggered even if Zenon dies.

“Very well.”

Heloise grabbed the necklace and went to Sienna’s house the next day.

“Excuse me!”

“Who are you?”

Perhaps because Soma was in the midst of cleaning diligently, he came out in an apron and his eyes widened.

“The noble young lady that came over previously?”

“I’m here to see Sienna, can I meet her now?”

“Yes, yes. Please come in.”

Heloise brushed against the back of a large gold plate that had turquoise jewels embedded into it habitually.

At the thought that Sienna’s stats could be adjusted to the standards of a Princess immediately, Heloise was excited as it felt like things were going well.

“Soma! Where should I put this?”

It seems that they are currently in the midst of spring cleaning the house.

Wearing an apron like Soma, Sienna asked while carrying a rattan basket that’s filled to the brim with sundries, and almost dropped the basket when she discovered Heloise.

“Heloise?”

“Sienna, it’s nice to see you.”

“What brings you here?”

“I have something to tell you, and something I want to give you.”

Heloise smiled and tilted her head slightly.

“May I have a cup of tea?”

“Yes! Of course!”

Surprised, Sienna quickly led Heloise to the table.

The fake Fairy’s Tears, ch11, was shoved in the pocket of Heloise’s dress.

While she was fiddling with the back of the necklace with a hand in her pocket, Soma appeared with the tea immediately.

As she looked around, Heloise realised that she didn’t see the player, <Father>, and asked Soma.

“By the way, where is Count Salles?”

“The Master had just left.”

“What?”

“Didn’t he just greet the young Miss and leave?”

[T/N: Soma is referring to Sienna here.]

“He left…? Count Salles?”

“Yes.”

Soma responded offhandedly and left.

Heloise looked dazedly at the front door, which had been tightly closed since her arrival.

‘As expected…Does it mean that I can’t meet the player…?’

From the way Soma and Sienna were indifferent, it was probable that the player was only visible to the two people.

That wasn’t anything strange.

In <Princess Sienna>, Count Salles, otherwise known as the player, was played in a first-person perspective without a separate father character, so Heloise was also unaware of what the player looked like.

It was a mistake to attempt to meet with the player and ask him what kind of plans he had for the future.

However, Heloise had a Plan B.

It was none other than ch11, the necklace she’s been fiddling with.

The method to use the ch11 files when playing on a computer was simple.

After connecting to the game by overlaying it, a numerical dashboard would appear when the game was right-clicked.

When a desired number is added on the number dashboard, the status would change according to the specified number, as long as the classes were attended, whether it’s dance or etiquette lessons,

‘However, now that I’m possessing a character in the game, The method to use it should be different.’

The surest method was to set the number on the dashboard to the maximum and hand the necklace over to Sienna.

Heloise placed the necklace she had brought onto the table.

Sienna didn’t react as much as she did when she saw the Fairy’s Tears previously.

“What’s this?”

“You’ve seen this before, right? It’s the necklace that Bill brought.”

“Oh… Was there something like that?”

As Sienna gave a light nod unknowingly based on her vague memories, Heloise smiled and brought the necklace to Sienna’s hand all of a sudden.

“I want to give this to Sienna.”

“What?”

Sienna was startled by the fancy necklace that was suddenly placed in her hand.

“Didn’t Bill give this to Heloise?”

“Yeah, but I think that it’s something that matches Sienna very well. It doesn’t for me.”

Heloise spoke as she helped to fasten the necklace around Sienna’s neck.

“Actually, there’s a secret hidden within this necklace.”

“A secret?”

“Apparently, it has the power to listen to its owner’s earnest wishes.”

“Wish…”

“For instance, thoughts like if only I’m more dignified than I am now, I want to be good at dancing or tea ceremony.”

Heloise encouraged Sienna with a hopeful gaze.

“Or, you can hope to have much better looks than your current appearance. Imagine that for a while.”

“Hmm…….”

Sienna didn’t seem to believe it, but when prompted to do so, she closed her eyes with a frown like she’ll just give it a shot.

When she began to imagine something, the fake Fairy’s Tears on Sienna’s neck began to shine, as expected.

‘It worked!’

Heloise’s eyes widened.

Now, all she had to do was to meet with Sienna, who’s stats had become maxed out.

“A better me…”

“Yes! That’s it!”

A strong, blinding light shot out, and it disappeared after some time, along with the necklace that was hanging around Sienna’s neck.

“What’s this!”

Why did the necklace disappear?

It wasn’t a single use item, was it? Was it reflected properly?

Heloise was unable to check the figures, so she couldn’t tell if it was applied or not.

Heloise shook the shoulders of Sienna, who’s eyes were closed in bewilderment.

“Sienna! How are you?”

“Uhmmm……”

Perhaps because she was still confused, Sienna opened her eyes with a frown.

She looked as spaced out as ever.

But Heloise believed in the power of ch11.

‘No, all her stats are at max points now. She can become a princess when she’s older!’

When Heloise asked, “How are you?” again with a delighted look on her face, Sienna remained silent for a moment before opening her mouth.

“Uh…… I made a wish to be smarter and better at dancing.”

“Then dance right now!”

“What? Aren’t you aware of my dancing skills…?”

“Don’t worry. Sienna would probably be the best dancer in Ballide.”

[T/N: Ballide is the name of the kingdom.]

Sienna stood in the middle of the living room with an anxious expression after being pushed into it by Heloise.

“Dance anything that you like.”
