The Banished Villainess! Living the Leisurely Life of a Nun Making Revolutionary Church Food

Chapter 01: Prologue

Today, the bad guys who don't fit in the story will be removed.

"Duchess Elizabeth Fontini, with the charges of impiety is sentenced to the deportation!"

The king shouted aloud at the crowd in front of him.

In this audience room, it seems to be very fashionable to treat a lady who has lived a decent life as a criminal.

At the same moment the King gave his judgement, the whole room where Elizabeth was standing, all the nobles and knights reunited there started shouting with visible excitement.

"Oh, finally....!"
"The Duchess has been judged!"

I can't help but think that the whole group has been brainwashed, and also... I don't remember seeing any of these people before.
It's impossible to distinguish any of them, they all look the same, maybe they're so unimportant people...
It's hard to tell who's who, I suppose they're just some <<mobs characters>> that even if replaced by others no one will notice...!

What have I done to deserve this?

There were too many things I wanted to say.
Too many that I can't even count with my fingers.

However, this is the fate of Elizabeth Fontini, the Duchess.
The fate she can't resist, and has no choice but to accept it.

Chapter 02: Banished and then Nun's Apprentice

"Quack, quack!"

Finally, the ducks cleared the way, and Elizabeth hung the last piece of clothes from the laundry basket, it was one of the children' bed clothes.

Every morning, the sisters tighten the laundry ropes, that hold the drying clothes, using two point of support, the roof of the church and the trunk of a large tree nearby.

The sight of the cleanly washed laundry hung on the rope, all at once, is so relaxing....

"Okay, that's it."

Elizabeth had just finished her work and taken a big breath when heard footsteps and cheerful voices coming from behind her.

"Sister Elizabeth! Let's play."

"Are you done? Let's play."

"Hey, hey, Sister Elizabeth!"

Chapter 03: Hot Roast Pork and a cold person

>>Food is the source of life.<<

I'm not sure who, but someone living at this church told me that.
Anyway, the kitchen in the Northern church was magnificent.
Above the stove there was a large chimney and the complete room was always illuminated with many chandeliers.
The cooking table was a wide rectangle in the center of the room, as big as a dining table for a dozen people.
Several cupboards and shelves were filling completely the walls of the kitchen, in them many boxes, jars and different kind of containers with all kinds of seasonings and ingredients....

I don't think there's a cook that won't feel motivated by seeing this.

Chapter 04: In my previous life I was an event planner

********
Elizabeth's memory of working in a country called Japan.
The memories of Yuka Sawatani.
********

My office was a small room in an old building.
But no, it wasn't one of those stylish buildings you think about when hearing Japan country name.
It was one of the myriad of buildings in the so-called Tokyo area, cramped, old, and slightly tilted.
Nine desks, a locker and photocopier, and nothing more.

My desk was always covered in papers. You tidy it up, and do it again... and again, and the next time you don't because you have no time for that.
Fliers, documents, pamphlets, you had nowhere to look, your vision is covered completely by them.
However, at the time when I started I didn't think it was something important.

Chapter 05: After Rebirth, Before Villainous Lady

******

From here, Elizabeth's memories----.
Just a few moments before I realized I was Elizabeth....

******

I was five years old when I realized that I had been reincarnated.
Still remember it very clear, I was playing in the lake.

"Mother!　Father!"

From the top of the boat, while an inexpert servant was paddling, Elizabeth waved her hand toward the shore.
Her mother held an elaborately embroidered parasol and watched her from the distance.
The dignified beauty of her mother, which sometimes even intimidated others, must have been inherited by Elizabeth, after all.
Next to her, her father, who was somewhat unreliable for a duke, had a gentle smile on his face.

Elizabeth was born into the Duke Fontini family, one of the most prominent noble families in the country.
With a estate and mansion incredibly large, the exact number of servants employed was something unknown.
Although there were other noble families in the country, everyone prefered to keep a low profile to avoid getting the attention of the duke's family.
The social classes system, the nobiliarity titles, it was the law almost absolute in the country.

"Wow, a fish! there's a fish!　You, go there!"

When Elizabeth saw the fish swimming in the lake, she ordered her servants to move the boat closer to it.
The boat turned slowly around the fish.

"Oh, it bounced again! Hurry up! Come on! It's going to run away!"
