"It's been a long time since I've seen a town."
I asked my father, who was in the office, for permission to go out, and took Luke to the commercial district of Wang Du.
A short distance from the castle, this is where all sorts of things sell. Price ranges vary from food, clothing, and hair decorations to gems. Everyone goes to a store in their own price range and chooses a product.
I always called the merchant to the mansion, but I haven't done it here lately. They just go directly to the mansion, and every item they bring is the finest. It's not a good price to buy easily.
I sincerely reflect that I was so sorry to my father and the residents who were paying me taxes for shopping without thinking, as I have done every week.

- Oh.
Luke, who walks a little behind me, has been in a good mood since earlier.
I wonder if something good had happened.
By the way, for today's outing, I don't have any other confessions with me but Luke. As a matter of fact, Luke is very good at handling magic.
It wasn't until right after I picked him up that I found out he had high magic.
My father, who did not make a good face for making him a dedicated butler with an unclear identity, realized the amount of magic in his possession, and offered permission on condition that he would learn magic if this could be combined with an escort.
He lived up to his father's expectations and let the talent blossom brilliantly. He's still only fourteen, but he can use a lot of magic. Attack magic, of course.
My father also knows how stronger Luke is than a bad escort, so he gave me permission to go with Luke.
By the way, I'm pretty bad at using magic.
I've never been able to use it, but, you know, it's kind of terribly rough, like, emitting giant flames or unconsciously releasing magical powers trying to get out of a small flame.
I mean, I can't help but suck at control, but I'm not particularly in trouble. Because I have Luke, and I don't have the opportunity to use magic, such as being a Duke's Lady.
And when you get a chance,
"Ho ho, are you going to let this me use magic? I don't like it, it's a pain in the ass. Why should I do that? I wish you could use it. I'm here to see if you can do it right."
So I kept running away.
'Cause what if they can spread rumors that magic is bad? Thoroughly hide any elements that might make you look a little foolish. There are many enemies. I don't know when I'll be kicked down. You can't live in a woman's world unless you protect yourself.
Well, I don't think that's what I'd say until recently when I was at the top of that... yeah. I don't even feel like doing that right now.
'Cause you're stunningly embedded in my dialogue earlier, Prince Wilfred's' Villain Warrant Statue 'I asked Al.
Horrible. How far on earth am I 'Villain Lady'?
And it's my stance now to avoid doing everything in my power that seems to fit in a little bit with The Villain Warrant Lady.
Such a witchcrafted dialogue, never again, will I say.
Let's say you can't do something you can't do, trying to be somewhat foolish. That's a better future in the end.
I decided what I was going to do, and I nodded deeply, while speaking to Luke, who still seemed to be in a good mood.
"Hey, Luke. You seem in a good mood for a long time, but did something good happen to you?
"Huh?"
Luke gazes at me as surprised. That face looks unexpected.
"No way, did you think they hadn't noticed? You've been singing your nose in a good mood ever since. And nobody would believe me if I told them there was nothing."
"... excuse me"
Luke apologized, looking away from his eyes at first sight. But it's not like I want you to apologize.
"You don't need to apologize. I just want to know why. If you want to apologize, tell me why."
……
Luke stared at me, then exhaled as he had noticed.
"Actually, I know someone in town. I stumbled upon a kid I met when I was out in town to use him, and I was wondering if I might see him."
"Oh? What girl is that?
It was subtle rhetoric, so I pinned it.
See Luke with a face full of expectations. He nodded as he gave a look that was why he didn't want to say it.
"That's right. I do think he said he was the same age as your daughter. She's also a noble lady, though. I go to the orphanage where my father makes donations, and I take care of the orphans every day."
"Really... you're the one who could"
I am surprised that the Noble Lady goes to the orphanage every day. Besides, I can't normally think of and can't take care of you.
I was impressed, Luke said in a caged voice of heat.
"It's amazing, her. I don't make fun of noble ladies at all. You treat me like a normal friend, too. The pink hair is so beautiful, it's a shame to bracket it when you're taking care of the kids... Ah"
"Yeah."
I see, I see.
Apparently Luke has feelings for a girl the same age as me.
- But pink hair, huh?
I can't say I know all the noble ladies because I haven't made my social debut yet, but still my face isn't narrow. But I didn't know anyone like the pink-haired maid.
Luke's favorite kid. What the hell is she like?
I don't want to interrupt Luke's love path, but I get a russian, interest in what the kid looks like and what personality he cares about.
"Hey, Luke. I'd like to see that girl. There's plenty of time, isn't there? I'd like to go to that orphanage."
"... that's what I thought you'd say, ma'am. Will you promise not to do anything extra? I don't mind going, but the destination is an orphanage. There are plenty of dirty kids, and I can tell you that no one treats your daughter like a duke's warrant. Can you still stand it?
To Luke's inquiry, I nodded seriously.
"I wouldn't have forgiven you until a while ago, but I think Luke's rambling is fine with me now."
