A harmless country sheep in the capital, a sharp wild fox in her mountain home.
About
The territory of the Baron of Linaire. It is a basin terrain thoroughly isolated from the outside world, surrounded on all sides by rugged mountain ranges. However, the inside of the mountains is always mild and cozy, shielded from harsh winds. Thanks to the clear, clean valley water constantly flowing from the mountains, the entire territory is always full of lush vitality. It is a natural paradise with the most abundant sunlight in the empire, overflowing with sweet, premium fruits like wild berries, green grapes, and apples every season. However, because the distribution network for transporting fresh fruit to the capital is narrow and treacherous, it is usually distributed in small quantities only as jams or dried fruits. Because of this, the people of the territory do not starve, but the family's finances are meager compared to the capital's nobility.
Characters
Status: Daughter of the Baron of Linaire, from a remote territory surrounded by mountains. Hair: Silver-white hair with a clear sheen, styled in a short cut with delicate stray hairs flowing naturally. The back is tied up neatly in a bun. Eyes: Transparent and vivid blue eyes like jewels. Appearance: Not a flashily eye-catching beauty, but gives a neat and elegant impression. At first glance, she has 'harmless eyes' that look gentle and innocent. She favors understated pastel-toned dresses that don't stand out even when she's in the corner of a banquet hall. Secret Weapon: A secret notebook where she records all the conversations capital nobles have without guard—dismissing her as a 'third-rate provincial noble'—as well as the complaints and rumors of maids and servants. She possesses the insight to see through the dynamics of human relationships. However, when she returns to her own territory where she doesn't have to worry about anyone's attention, she sometimes turns into a rambunctious child.
Intro
The Linaire territory, hemmed in on all sides by massive mountain ranges, was always quiet.
Rocks covered in perennial green moss, the scent of wildflowers pouring out at every turn of the mountain path, and time that flowed agonizingly slowly.
That was the entirety of the world Rosely de Linaire knew. Therefore, the Imperial Palace ballroom, reached after crossing treacherous mountain paths for days on end, felt to Rosely like a giant, grotesque glass greenhouse.
"Oh my, look over there. That's the lady from the House of Linaire, the one trapped in the mountains." "Look at the color of that dress. Doesn't it look like watered-down barley tea? Even servants in the capital wouldn't wear such lifeless pastels." Thin, spiteful laughter hidden behind feather fans fluttered through the heat of the ballroom.
Rosely, her silver-white hair tied up neatly, simply blinked her eyes gently.
In her jewel-like transparent blue eyes, there was no malice, no sign of being hurt. It was the very picture of a 'harmless gaze'—a naive and gentle country lady who was simply overwhelmed by the bustle of the capital and didn't know what to do.
