"my precious thing is you, Leslie"
100% agree there, translator

@Mathiason No, a male is marquess and a female is marchioness for this rank.

Thanks for the chapter!
Looks like the idiot doesn't realize he's being played. I'm amazed his arrogance and stupidity hasn't gotten him killed or ruined sooner. Anyone know what Sperado means by being able to help the dowager when the prince 'grows up'? Like he believes Eli will be able to control the prince or something? Shouldn't it be Marques and his wife the Marquess? Seems the dowager is really involved in politics, although is her gripe with the Salvatores due to being afraid of them being too powerful and influential or something else? Would be a hoot seeing Sperrado's face if the dowager is really delighted with Leslie and decides to help Leslie instead. As for the instructor seems like Leslie's cuteness has completely won over another person. As for the cotton candy she's probably surprised by how fluffy it is or the appearance of a bunch of pink threads rather than more solid pieces of candy.

I immediately thought of cotton candy when the instructor showed up and she brought cotton candy along with her haha

Also, even tho the Empress Dowager is being setup as a villain she seems cool and more likable so far. But if she harms the Salvatores and Leslie then it's the guillotine for her

That cute bow shot me straight in the heart. Oh Leslie you're doing great!

shuella is waifu material
her eyes is like a fox
TI/N: my precious thing is you Leslie.
yes we must protect this precious child
also cotton candy. thing might get flufflier next chapter
@baba0407 she a big bad news for me but i suppose no one can treat leslie as shit as her father
incredible you just got yourself a worst daddy along with violette's dad

So Shuella kinda looks like a rabbit to me. A fluffy one, but a rabbit none the less. And it is pink.

And Leslie’s cuteness strikes again! This time the victim is the etiquette instructor Shuella! Who will fall for her charms next chapter? Could it be Empress Dowager?

I'm going to die of diabetes soon this is so fluffy

Killer Queen has already touched that candy cotton box.

Leslie is so cute and the instructor is so nice, I needed this adorableness

Thanks for the chapter. ^^

@pandaflex @tych & everyone else pandaflex was replying to: Even easier with magic like you said, but even before what you've described it's possible to dip a stick in hot sugar syrup and flick it around, which people do to make decorative pieces on cakes, and even before that there's a candy known as "dragon's beard" which is a hand pulled cotton candy in China starting from ancient times and doesn't require the use of magic or modern technology. Just a blob of slightly soft sugar candy and two hands.

A mage could use fire and wind to make cotton candy easily enough though it certainly wouldn't be a treat for commoners.

I wish Queen Dowager would be on Leslie's side...

And then Leslie will be very delighted since she never tasted cotton candy before 😢

Queen Dowager's scheme against Marquess Sperado is good, but I don't want her to put her eyes on Leslie... she has a bad vibe...

leslie do a big confuse

Cotton candy is actually super simple to make. The machines work by heating the sugar in a spinning cylinder with a bunch of really small holes, as the sugar melts it starts to get flung out through the holes and then cools rapidly in the air because of its high ratio of surface area to volume and the speed it's moving at. You can get decent results by simply dipping a stick or whisk in a heated mixture of sugar, a bit of corn syrup, and a bit of water (along with color/falvor of your choice), and rolling the handle between your hands to spin it inside of a bowl (wear an apron and watch your arms so you don't get burnt by big bits getting flung off).

A functional equivilent to a modern cotton candy machine could easily be made in the kind of technological setting this story has as long as someone had the idea for one.

surprise it was actually a dick in a box

@Tych


You can make cotton candy without a machine by making the thin strands slowly by pouring a very small line of the ingredients into several lines on parchment paper.
It takes WAY longer though.
