Common Sense of a Warrior

Tomorrow, I was visiting the Duke of Almeria's house again.

As a result, your father has not yet returned from the house of the Duke of Almeria.

A messenger came over from the Duke of Almeria's house after I got home last night, and your father still reported that he was staying.

Though I agree with that choice because I think it's safer to stay than to be forced to go home drunk... as for myself going there to beg to teach now, say it's embarrassing or hard to go...

He sighs and lifts his face, which was bent over.

And I stared jizzily at the Duke of Almeria's house.

It's like going to the battlefield nervous.

The sound of the heartbeat sounded annoying.

... breathe deeply and vomit to calm it down.

I really can't lose my bad consciousness.

For the manners and preferences necessary as a nobleman and for the very social community whose qualities are questioned.

Until now, I've been running away from my eyes.

If "now" doesn't need to be "yet," just send the problem ahead.

You have to pay for it.

From now on, I will expose Aurelia to an unusual appearance that no one can take for granted.

But we have to accept that.

That's my power now.

... It must be hard to see that 'I can't'.

If that means it's 'natural' if it's a noble child, then forget it.

I guess it would be easier if I could reopen it because I had no choice but to do martial arts... hate and I don't have a heart strong enough to reopen it so easily.

... I'm sure that's because I'm not sure about myself.

Special, when it comes to martial arts, it can be regarded rather as' stretch money ', but when it comes to manners and other aristocratic preferences,' can't 'looks like a big wall that can't be crossed, and the heart that was exciting shrivels.

I stopped my forward leg.

And again, breathe deeply and vomit.

... Don't be cowardly.

My pride would not be a tiny one to protect my vanity!

... Yes, I exhort the weak who want to keep stopping my legs.

"... good"

I glanced at the mansion again and, intent on it, went straight inside.

"Welcome to waking you up. I'll show you."

At the entrance, Mr. Alf, the butler, was already standing by.

"Mr. Alf......"

"Dear Merlis, please don't call me Alf about me"

"... So, Alf. My father...?

"If you were Gazelle, you'd be slowing down here today."

"Yes... I'm sorry about my father"

"It's a hell of a thing. My husband Romel enjoyed it when Gazelle was here."

"... yes"

While we talk about that, we go into the room ahead where we followed his lead.

"Welcome, Mr. Merlis. Get started with your manners."

"... before that, Dear Aurelia. Thank you very much for taking care of my father today. Thank you for your guidance today."

"It's good. Because my husband enjoys it.... I'm rather sorry I let you hang out with a busy gazelle. Well, shall we have a tea party for today's course? It's just you and me, but it would be better for you to have a practical format."

And here we go, the tea party.

I desperately drank tea and answered conversations as I remembered what I had previously learned piercing for the Queen's Tea Party.

"... you've done the basics."

"Huh?"

I'm stunned by words I never thought I'd say.

"By the way, Mr. Merlis. What is the purpose of the Tea Party?"

"… AC, is it"

"Yeah, right. Getting to know each other better among the nobles is very important. To get information, to make allies when you exchange something.... Aside from that, if you're the one who's making your face strong and the one who's making you smile. Which one do you find easier to talk to?

It was an easy word to understand.

I wasn't told that directly, but what didn't work for me earlier.

"… it is the one who is made to smile"

"Right."

The dust and Master Aurelia smiled like an example.

"I know that noble manners, not just tea parties, are cumbersome, and I really feel conscious there. Inside the unfamiliar, it will be especially so. That's why it's best for nature and your body to see it without being aware of it."

That's what she says, while she lifts the cup and drinks.

The sequence of operations was elegant and sophisticated as it flowed.

"By the way, Mr. Merlis. Why do you think noble manners are cumbersome?

"Huh...?

I never thought about it.

Only to the extent that it's cumbersome and troublesome.

"Manners are arrangements to avoid offending someone. Every word and deed, the way it is received, changes in any way depending on its recipient. Even if it's not malicious, it means that some recipients can be uncomfortable. To avoid that, a number of manoeuvres were decided over the course of a long history. Sometimes we meet people from the top of other countries, so we need to do it diplomatically."

"Really..."

"In particular, some aristocrats are lamented that they want to boast of their authority but detain themselves to manners for..."

Don't know that, and I get a bitter laugh.

Rather, until now there has been a perception that manners are meant for that purpose.

That's why I was taking extra care of it.

"Either way, it means you have no harm in wearing manners. So let's fix some of the earlier behavior quickly."

grin, and again she laughed.

There was still pressure in it to say no, even though it was a very calm smile.

"Ha... yes, yes"

"Well, let's do our best"

That's how I spent an intense time with Master Aurelia, and I left the room.
