Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

There's a knock, and I open the door.

There was Dida for some reason.

"What can I do for you at this hour?

"... and bad. You were about to go to bed."

"Yes, because the lady went to bed early today, and my work is done early"

"I see.... or don't open the door even though you look like that. A little more, if you're a woman, be vigilant."

"Alas, I wondered if there was any need for such a concern in the Duke's house. … and I have some feelings, so I will exercise my strength if I have to."

Smile and say so, Dida laughs bitterly for a moment.

Eventually, however, it became serious.

"... what if the other person can't exercise that strength? I'm not gonna be easy on you, am I?

"Right...... just you and Lyle for the Mansion only, that's hard. If you're another intruder, and I'm a handy opponent, it's not about sex, it's about life. Well... I trusted you both for once."

Hold still, your gaze bumps into each other. Now at night, its silence felt very heavy in a quiet space where there would be no sound if each other shut their mouths.

"... here we go. If you say so, there's nothing you can do."

But that's what Dida said and laughed at, and it quickly blows up, too.

"So? What were the requirements?

"No, I was thinking of drinking with Lyle. Lyle fell asleep, so what happened to you?"

"Absolutely... I can't believe you invited me at this hour. For once, I'm a woman, and I don't even know if I'm getting weird rumors."

I don't mind.

That's what I say and laugh at, I can't read the man's sincerity in front of me.

"Ma... sure it's too late, huh? It's early tomorrow, isn't it? Sorry about that."

"Wait."

Speak to him as he tries to walk away.

"Me too, I woke up.... Because of this, let's drink. Please wait while I get dressed."

"Ooh."

That's how I got dressed and left the room again.

It was also a delicate time to go to the store… so we decided to drink in the servant's welcome room after all.

This welcoming room is a shared room for all the servants to read, talk like letters, and interact.

Does the Duke of Almeria have a large mansion in the King's Capital that deserves its stature, or about half of it is space for the servants?

I think it is a manifestation of the need for so many servants in order to maintain this large mansion and make it comfortable for all of you, as well as the kind of construction of this house that treats servants from generation to generation.

"What do you want to drink? For once, I brought this."

"... Isn't this from Makarama? What the hell is wrong with you?

"From the Master, Plumped"

I sighed unexpectedly at Dida, who said it without any evil.

"Absolutely, who are you..."

"That's good.... because my master also seemed to think this was bad for me and Lyle. Now I'm a charlatan, and I was laughing."

Dida, who said so, also has a bitter laugh.

That's this masculine way of using my mind...... and while I thought so, I received a bottle offered silently.

"… may I drink the price of your labor, too?

"He said he didn't want Lyle. Above all, labor."

Say it well...... and whine inside, I take out two glasses and start pouring.

I know, of course, that they were being driven out by their masters, as they do every day. That he trained there as an assistant to his master, like a teacher.

And in the meantime, she also worked as an escort for the young lady, and in her spare time, she trained as usual in the faces she came with from the territory.

That's all I haven't seen them around here lately. They've been doing their job, too.

Even if you say that a lady or husband doesn't have to work at home.

Lyle stubbornly praised, and the man in front of him floated, "At my master's place, I'm just playing," he said.

Finished pouring glasses, we each held them in our hands.

"Cheers."

chin and the sound of matching a cool glass.

We each carried it to our mouths.

Sweet, but deep flavour spreads across the mouth.

"Uh... I knew it was delicious. From Makarama."

"... really. You've got a pretty good one."

"Alcohol where the master has it, it's all good stuff. Whatever, it's loud enough to drink that much. No, it's because you're a soldier..."

While laughing and saying so, Dida gleefully left it at once.

"Finally, don't go home"

And then I whine about that.

"Oh, so you're already... you're done going to your master"

"Well. I have a plan."

"... you want to return to your territory soon, too?

"You“ too? "

"No, it doesn't mean anything profound. So, what's the answer?

"Hmm... you're going to be home or you're going to be home to the princess after all. So returning to the realm is a strange expression."

"Sure, yeah."

This man also gave himself to the lady, as I did. Although I often doubt its loyalty because it is usually too floating.

"But, well... go back to the realm. With the princess, quickly. There are too many fences here. Like in the realm, being under the princess all the time doesn't come true... and most importantly, there are a lot of people with powers that we don't have."

"Though I don't think anyone stronger than you are?

Tobo said that, and Dida laughed, too. You know what I mean. But just look me in the eye.

"Just kidding.... Well, I realize how small my powers are when I'm in Wang Du. The power we can't have… We can't fathom how much training we get in front of the great power in the name of power"

"That's what it is. So I want to get back soon. As a protector of the princess."

"Right..."
