A few days later, Aldar and I are spending a leisurely time, confirming and laughing about our future plans.

By the way, it seems that the plan for the planned vacation with Aldar is to go to Baum's town house in the afternoon and then move on to Baum territory from there!

Yay, you can even buy souvenirs on the way!

"...... is something like this.

I suppose. Any more and you would have to invite someone from the region or a diplomat to teach you.

You're right. ......

Scarlett and I have been doing a lot of research on the country and on the country of Philila Derne, and we have been learning a lot about etiquette and customs.

To be hospitable, you have to know the other person!

But, well, there are quite a few differences in etiquette and such, so don't be rude, it's just a level of ....... Well, it can't be helped.

The only people who will be taught are diplomats, so we can't bother them with their busy schedules.

I focused only on what is not to be done and what should be taken care of.

Fortunately, I was able to find a book on that subject in the library in the castle.

Well, I'll have to look for it: .......

We read and exchanged opinions on a variety of topics, from the slightly old-fashioned to the newer ones, sometimes calling Sebastian to ask for his opinion, and finally we put some things together.

We did our best ...... like a little examination war.

So, Scarlett, could you write down all these essentials on a small note just in case you want to check it out along the way?

"I'm so excited!

I'm steadily preparing for what I can do.

Primera's clothes, accessories, etc., as well as hats and parasols are ready to go!

The umbrella should be light and beautifully designed, as we will naturally be the ones putting it up.

Until the day that Primera grows up and uses it herself, I will carry it for you!

I slumped back in my chair in my office, leaving Scarlett to deal with the memo.

It's fulfilling to not be busy with this and that, but what gets you tired is what gets you tired.

(Though I have to get my shit together because there will be more of these things in the future.

Primera's official duties will not end this time, but will continue to increase in the future.

That is until the day when the date of her marriage to Dean Dane is set.

Every town would be happy and motivated to have a visit from the beautiful princess.

Besides, the Primera herself is very motivated in her official duties and when I asked her why ......, she said it's also very precious!

"Because you know, Dean Dane, you want to be a great knight and a shield for the people, the head of Baum, right? Among the things I want to protect, there is of course the primera. ...... That's why I, standing next to them, must also do my best.

Primera, with a shy smile, said so with a shy smile: ...... You are very cute!

Moreover. And more.

The Primera smiled a mischievous smile, looked up at me and continued, "And I swore to Yuria and Mother, didn't I?

I'm sure you've made a vow to your mother and to your own mother. I'll be a fine princess. ......

Hmmm, every time I remember that time Primera-sama, I'm moved to tears, precious. It's too precious. ......!

That's enough to make me work hard for the time being.

Of course, I usually do my best.

As I was enraptured by the memory of Primera-sama, I heard a knock at my ear.

I hurriedly tightened my expression and called out, "Come in," but it was Christophas peeking out of the room.

Seeing him, I stood up and invited him into the room.

I stood up and invited him to my room. Are you the Duke's errand boy today?

"Yes.

Christophas nodded his head, expressionless as ever, but adorable!

But you've grown a little taller ......?

Do you think it's inevitable that boys grow up so fast, or is it just a matter of time before Primera grows up too?

This time, the princess's official duties, a duchess will follow.

"Huh? Yeah, I'm listening.

The town you're heading to is also a ducal town ruled by His Excellency the Prime Minister, so there's no ...... to show you around as a lord.

The plan is for the mayor and the deputy to guide Primera-sama as it's a really simple job to come back after seeing the situation of the town.

After all, His Excellency the Prime Minister is also a busy man. ......

...... I wonder if Christophas will be going with them?

Hmm.

Well, I hope you're here to say hello.

No. It's part of it.

There is.

It's still a few words, but I don't feel bad about it because it's Christofa.

'Here's a list of people to follow from the dukes.

"I got it the other day,

The "modified version

"Oh, I see.

There were going to be some civilian officials of some rank who would come along and supplement the information and perform official duties, so it was important to know that there would be personnel changes.

However, I was just talking about inquiring about the names of people like Christoffa who are treated as menial laborers because they weren't on the paperwork I received before, which is very helpful.

(Didn't you write it down at ...... or did you forget it? It changes the meaning quite a bit, though.

It is difficult for me, an ordinary person, to read the thoughts of His Highness the Prime Minister.

You don't think I'm going to overlook it, or that if I act with the naive idea that "it's okay because he's the Prime Minister," he's going to lecture me later or something like that. ......?

No, no, I was going to ask, so whatever it is, it's safe!

As I was looking through it, Christoffer looked up at it meekly ...... and said, "Hmmm, a puppy.

Thank you, please tell the Prime Minister that I understand.

I understand.

But the dukes have increased in number?

I would like to have a word with your diplomat.

"...... I see?

Oh, yeah, I heard from Keith Less that there was a lot of back and forth.

Do you already have a basis for the story on the spot?

Capable people are scary.

Do you want to go to town with me?

"Huh?

I'm with you at ....... If you have time, though, it's .......

You can find a lot of people who have been in the same boat as you.

What, that means you want to follow me when I go out of town even if I don't!

That is, you want to go with us. ......!

(Cute ......!)

What, what, you too, after the Primera?

You're going to delight me with a flood of cuteness!

Thank you!

Yes, I suppose so. If you have time during your official duties, I'd love to take a look around the town. I wonder if Kristoffer knows much about the town?

"Yes.

Then I'll look forward to it.

"Yes.

I've been working hard to maintain my appearance as a lady and a member of society, with my facial muscles almost slackening.

I can't wait to see what you have in store for me, but I'm looking forward to your official duties!
