A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 442: Welcome of the First Prince's eldest daughter.
Takeo and the others arrived in the city where Cliff's mansion was located and were once dissolved after asking what time they would leave tomorrow.
The Takeo army entered the inn and headed to each room.
And Takeo opened the door to the room that was honored to him, but...
"Mr. Takeo! Welcome back!"
Inside is Anne, the eldest daughter of the first prince, who greets her well and bows beautifully.
Takeo, often hardened, Mia was trembling in her pocket.
"Thank you, Your Highness Anne, for welcoming us.
Takeo bows his head deeply when he holds it back.
"So, why are you here?
"I was waiting in the hallway, but I was waiting inside because I heard Mr. Takeo's room in position.
"Really? I'm sorry for the effort.
But, Your Highness, Ann. It's not a good idea to wait a little longer in your lord's room.
This wait can't only be done by His Royal Highness Anne if she's engaged, can it?
Takeo gently tells Ann to listen.
"Is that what it is?
Ann asks as she tilts her neck.
"Yes.
Of course, sometimes you have to do it at work or something, but if you're living a normal life, it's basically a special way for a woman to wait only for her own fiancée.
That's not a good thing for anyone.
"Will Master Alice do it to Mr. Takeo, too?
"Yes, Alice. Lady will leave it to me only.
"You were.
Then I'll stop waiting in your room until my fiancée can, too!
"Yes, that would be nice.
and the door of the room is knocked.
"Go ahead."
and Victor and Gina come in when Takeo replies.
"Good luck, Lord.
Oh? Did you have a customer?
Sir, I'm sorry I didn't notice.
"No problem.
I am the eldest daughter of 1st Prince Cliff and I say Anne.
Ann makes two thanks.
"Excuse me, Your Highness.
My name is Victor, and this is my daughter Gina.
I am a family order and deacon for Dear Kitamizato.
"Is that it? Mr. Takeo, was there a squire?
Didn't you see him in Wang Du?
"Yeah, the question is best.
I hired him in the Katlanda Empire.
"Heh, did Mr. Takeo find it?
"No, Mia found it.
"Lord Mia... um... a collar.
Are you a slave?
"You know it well.
"Yes, I've seen luxury merchants take them.
Did Mr. Takeo buy a slave, too?
"Yes, you bought it.
If you work under me for 25 years, you are promising to rescind the slave contract.
The two of us also get six gold coins.
"If you get paid properly, you can rest assured!
Still, why are you disarming it? You bought it because of it and you let it go?
"Yeah, because I didn't want slaves, I just wanted good men.
Besides, if you work 25 years, you'll be able to save some money for these two, too.
The third life wants you to have it in your hands and like it.
"After that, you'll have no good men under Mr. Takeo, will you? Is that good?
"It's not good... but if you have 25 years, you'll meet someone else who's good besides these two...
Well, if there's no one else in 25 years, you should think about it then.
"Huh."
Ann returns a raw reply.
"Your Highness Ann, are you alone here?
"Yes, I came alone.
"Have you told your mothers or the people at the mansion that you're coming this way?
"No, I wanted to ask Mr. Takeo something, so..."
"Really? Gina."
"Yes, sir.
"Tell Mr. Meyer, 'Her Royal Highness Anne is here to see you alone'.
"Okay.
Your Highness, I beg your pardon.
and Gina leaves the room.
"Well, while you wait, prepare everyone's tea too... that?
I notice Takeo looking in the shelf trying to prepare tea.
"Lord, what is it?
"You don't have Mr. Meyer's share.
Viktor, if you'll excuse me, go to reception and bring it for three.
"I'm in awe, if you'll excuse me.
and Victor left.
"Mr. Takeo.
"Yes, what is it? His Royal Highness Ann."
"Mr. Takeo's butler... is he some nobleman? Or did you work in some noble house?
Takeo is surprised by Ann's words.
"What makes you think that?
"It's done... ordinary people won't be able to make that kind of move.
"Is that what it is?
"Yes, it's a little something...
For example, when you look back at the door, is that the way you look at your feet?
Those two are beautiful.
"I see."
Takeo thought, "Your Highness Anne has eyes to see."
The door to the room is knocked.
"Go ahead."
and when Takeo replies, Victor parents and children and Meyer come in.
"Excuse me.
Lord Meyer is here.
Gina tells.
"Yes, thank you.
Victor, did you get it?
"Yes, we have dishes for 8 people, tea treats and tea.
and Victor dines for three at his desk.
"Yes. Nice to meet you.
So, what happened to the two other people besides Mr. Meyer?
"We've reached perimeter alert.
Meyer answers.
"Yes, I understand.
"My lord Ann, this man is Meyer, the head of Kingsguard 1st Kingsguard.
There are two others, but you've been on alert.
"Yes, Lord Meyer, thank you for your hard work.
"Your Highness Ann.
Thank you for your hard work.
And I don't mind calling it off.
"Okay.
Ann nods when Meyer answers.
Takeo, Meyer and Ann sit at the end of the meal for three.
"Well, Your Highness Ann.
What happened to you today?
Takeo listens gently.
"Yes!
Mr. Takeo! Tell me how to make pudding!
Ann says in a forward position.
"Is that a pudding?
"Yes! Of course I'm not saying it's free (for free)!
And, Ann comes out with a safe deposit box of chicken pottery.
"It's all my pennies! Please tell me!
"By the way, how much is in there?
"Er..."
Ann opens the lid on the bottom of the piggy bank and puts out the money inside and starts to line up.
"... 42 silver coins and 7 copper coins.
"Hmm... can you say why you want to know how to make pudding?
"Ha... yes.
Actually... it's from around the corner where your father headed to Guan...
Mothers look kind of lonely, and they sigh frequently.
'What is it?' You only say 'It's nothing' when you hear it!
Plus it feels like you're forcing yourself to make a smile in front of me!
So! I thought eating Mr. Takeo's pudding would make me smile sincerely!
"Hmm, I see.
I understand what His Highness Ann thinks.
But I can't take this money. Please leave it in the safe deposit box.
and Takeo tells Ann with a true face.
"Huh?... Mr. Takeo... can you tell me how to make pudding?
Ann says to Takeo's attitude... with her face down.
"No... I don't need any money from His Highness Ann.
It's a consideration to teach you how to make pudding, but I'll name the conditions, so if you swallow that, I'll tell you.
"Huh!?
Ann looks up in surprise.
"There are four conditions from me.
One. His Royal Highness Cliff, His Highness Rhona, His Highness Selina... to stay close to your family.
2. Eating anything delicious without saying whether you like or dislike food.
3. To love the people and be loved by the people.
4. If you enroll in the Royal College, you will graduate with the highest grades.
That's it.
Your Highness Ann, we don't have much time, but... think about it for a moment and make a decision.
Takeo takes his seat and walks towards Victor. Meyer also takes a seat and follows Takeo.
Takeo starts the meeting so that Ann doesn't hear him.
"Mr. Meyer, Victor, did you hear what I just said?
"Yes, Lord Kitamizato.
Meyer replies and Victor nods.
"Now, the two of us, please make your way to His Highness Cliff's mansion as fast as possible.
My oldest daughter will be suddenly gone and confused. So please tell me you're safe.
And tell me you'll be on your way with me and Gina and Mr. Arkin a little later.
"Okay.
Do you think His Royal Highness Anne will swallow that condition?
Meyer nods.
"Yeah, you'll swallow.
You want to make the mothers smile with my pudding... so suppose I don't teach with money. You'll have to swallow.
I'm not going to make that high a demand.
"Yeah. The first two things are family friendliness, the second two things are recognized by the people as royalty... it's not that hard.
Meyer nods.
"When you get to the mansion, tell His Highness Cliff and the others about His Highness Anne's mood first.
And please say, "You don't have to be angry with Her Highness."
Also, please tell me you want the chef and butler to cooperate because His Highness Anne will cook.
"Okay.
And His Royal Highness Anne makes it?
"Yes. The request is to teach His Royal Highness Ann how to make it. It's not something I or the cooks would make, is it?
"Well... yes, but.
"I'm fine. Because I'm not thinking about doing it from start to finish.
You will be the head chef for dangerous areas such as fireworks.
"Ha... for once, I will also tell His Highness.
"Yeah, you'll judge over there.
and Takeo turns his face to Ann.
"Your Highness Anne, what will you do?
"If Mr. Takeo is good, on that condition, please!
"Yes, I'm in awe.
Now, Mr. Meyer, Victor, head to the mansion immediately.
And also tell them it will be a little late as we go around a lot of shops.
"Yes.
Then, Your Highness Anne, we are at this.
"Ha... ha, I get it.
Ann returns a raw reply without knowing why Meyer and the others are going first.
And Meyer and Victor left.
"Well. Shall we head to His Highness Ann, Gina and His Highness Cliff's mansion?
"Yes, sir.
"That Mr. Takeo? If you were going anyway, wouldn't you have been able to go with me?
"Suddenly you're not ready to go, are you?
I'm going first and asking the chef to help me.
"I see!"
Ann nods.
"I would like to see a bit of the store as I walk around the corner street, would you mind?
"Yes! Our city has a lot of stuff too!
Anne said proudly.
