Then a few days later, I was on my way to meet His Royal Highness the King's brother... I don't know anything about what I ended up doing about that (...) tea party and how decisions were made against Mrs Murietta and Mr Ehren.

Unless you say anything. It's not that I have no choice because I'm in a position to protect 'no use saying anything else'...... Nevertheless, what Nicholas told me was that there was no blame for Mr. Aeren's sitting in the middle because I was able to get confirmation.

Good! I thought you were confirming my statement at the same time. I knew you were upset.

Well, I didn't lie, and there's no dark behind it, so no problem...... I knew the "that” topic was a scandal in the scandal......

If I mishandled it, I must have gotten into trouble, too.

... Already involved, but yeah, can it get any worse?

(I'm a samurai here... there's nothing I can do about it!

I want to decide that I didn't ask such a grand aristocratic scandal or anything, even though only seriousness is a handle.

This guilt I have heard of something secretive about Aldar that I do not know in person!!

No, well, I guess as far as I'm concerned, I can get enough momentum to forget because I can hear my feelings for my family from Aldar himself, and now I'm thinking.

"Julia."

"Oh Christopher."

"A walk?

"A walk... a little different, but yeah. I was taking a break, so I was looking at the flowers in the garden."

"Flowers..."

"Yes."

The gardens of the Royal Castle are already well taken care of by the gardeners, so there are some flowers blooming all year round, so it's a break and eye blessing.

I look out at the garden when my hands are free and wonder which flowers I'll have decorated in Primera's room tomorrow!

Because it's time to soothe the cold, because the flowers are getting more varied and the gardens are getting more colorful. When I was talking to the public like that, Christopher stared at the flowers and then looked up at me.

"What's up?

"You like flowers, too, Julia?

"Yeah, I like it."

"... Phew."

Christopher, as usual, stares at me in a lack of expression, blinking his eyes as to whether he thinks of anything or not.

No, yeah, that's cute.

Primera, you have a different cuteness, don't you, Christopher?

I haven't put that inside out on the table, of course, but I don't know why I'm good either because Christopher keeps looking up at me. For some reason, we're both supposed to stare at each other silently... this isn't out from a third party, is it? It's all right, isn't it?

"Later, flowers in your room, bring"

"Huh?"

"Julia, it was your birthday... wasn't it?

"Yeah, yeah. It was around Birthday."

"So."

"What, you don't have to worry about it, Christopher!

"I want to give it to you"

"So, but you are."

"I want to give it to you"

I kind of just appreciate getting a New Year's festival gift, but what about an adult who gets so many gifts for younger kids?

No, you can think of it as a sign of trust or respect... but still, Christopher is a Duke's servant, not that cheap, but he's a lot less of a status than us samurai, so naturally he's a payer...

"I'm happy enough just to feel it."

"Birthday."

"Huh?"

"I heard you'd be happy to be celebrated."

Christopher's golden eyes were looking up at me.

Those eyes weren't particularly nervous or desperate...... but they looked kind of terribly cute and I gently stroked Christopher's head.

"Yeah. Glad to hear that."

"Bye."

"I'm so glad that Christopher is trying to please me that way."

Christopher must have known my birthday a long time ago. It's not strange to know that because Bianca always celebrates. I'm not keeping it a secret, either.

Just wasn't Christopher ever celebrated his birthday?

Even though I knew my birthday, I didn't know I'd be happy to be celebrated. That's how I received it.

"When is Christopher's birthday?

"... I don't know. Next time, I'll ask the Duke."

"Really? Let me know when you figure it out, 'cause I'll be celebrating Christopher's birthday too"

"Yeah."

Still a lot of secrets kid...... well, I'm not a guardian and I work for (?) naturally speaking because it's different...... and it's like a cat where I stroke my head and narrow my eyes!

Sweet. Sweet.

(I was surprised when I stroked my head before, but now you're okay)

Because it's like a cute little brother away from his age after all!

If I find out about my birthday, I wonder what I'll do. Shall we bake a celebratory cake and sneak it into my room for a celebratory party too!

I guess I should have something for you to use as a gift. I've heard before that Christopher can read and write letters, and maybe stationery.

"Julia."

"What is it?

"... if you have any trouble, tell me"

"Well, thank you Christopher"

"Yeah."

I knew it was a boy, was it an appeal to protect you?

Oh, that's so cute!

"... stronger than Julia, right?

You figured out that I was going to be cute and you thought, Christopher just pointed a slightly dissatisfied gaze at me... no, it's really just gaze. It's not childish and that's cute again.

Melek used to say to me when I was little, "Oh, yeah, I'm here! '.

That was adorable. It's still cute though.

Speaking of which, the hero's daughter said she was going into a dorm at school.

"Huh?"

To Christopher's statement as I remembered you wanted to change the subject, I figured it out and took my breath away.

I thought you wouldn't have been suspicious, but Christopher didn't say anything.

(... Mrs Murietta enters the dorm?

I do go to school in games, but that goes from home... assuming I was given a house under the castle.

That's suddenly the dorm residence.

I don't know what to think. I only think it affected me in the meantime.

But I'm glad I wasn't cut off, I guess I'm sweet.

Still, it still doesn't feel good to have someone at all involved with you convicted......

"Well, it seems to be expected, so I'm sure you'll have good results"

"... I don't care"

"Well."

Then why did you choose that topic?

Though I almost laughed that way, I was just a little stunned by Christopher's gaze.

It really felt cold enough to know that the topic didn't matter.

That's not possibly the Prime Minister's instructions, is it...?

You can tell me and see how that reacts, or, no, no, it's your fault. His Excellency the Chancellor and His Royal Highness the King are friends......!?

You're not mixing weird thoughts or anything!?

I'll be in my room later.

"What, you know, Christopher?

"See you later"

It's well-behaved and flowery round the area where I keep my head down, but yeah!?

Hey, I'm getting a little anxious, I can't believe it.

I was blindly looking where Christopher had left off and stood there until Maina finally came to call me......
