A hallway through the Royal Palace leading to the military wing.
Naturally, the people we need are military personnel or civilians carrying documents to you.
Some people look strangely at me walking there, a maid on the royal side.
I'm heading to the General's office.
This building, called the military wing, is precisely one of the departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Assuming the front lines, the General's office is here.
In short, within the "Ministry of Military Affairs", there are civilian departments that plan military accounting, human resources, and planning, as well as departments composed of knights and soldiers in charge of the field.
To be more specific, it is further subdivided into divisions... well, I only know the name around it.
Since His Royal Brother is the Secretary of the Ministry of Military Affairs, he has an office in the royal castle and in the military wing and two offices.
And in the form of a deputy secretary, there is the Grand General, Count Baum.
(... I wonder what it really means to be called again...)
I've heard that you're strict and tough, but I also understand that you're loving your family.
However, I think you're quite clumsy and the response seems a bit out of place...
That's why I'm called... there's only one reason!
Yeah, you know.
About this little trip with Aldar!!
(No, no, I didn't say hello as if we were dating, but it doesn't seem to be the opposite, but even though we're not fiancées, it's like a little trip by ourselves. If you think about it, it feels like it's full of stubbornness!)
I also accepted it very naturally, and the surroundings said, "Welcome!It had a frank atmosphere and I was sorry, but it's not common...?
No, no, I think it's because there are some eyes around us that we might be married in the future, but still... hey?
Count Baum tells me that there are a lot of things to think about because a cute son is coming to his parents' house with a woman who is not even engaged.
... then, the awkward thing is that I was summoned...
(Aaaaaahhhh, what should I do!!)
On the surface, I managed to make it look calm, but inside, I want to escape now.
I want to lift my skirt and get out of here like a rabbit.
Well, I can't.
Nevertheless.
That's right, though.
Count Baum has no objection to Aldar's association with me.
At least Countess Baum was happy with my relationship, and if you were my wife, Countess Baum, you should respect your wife's thoughts and not disagree without feeling happy.
(... I don't think so, but you won't tell me to use a temporary illness for this little trip...?)
I can't argue with it publicly, so backwork and so on...
No, no, I believe the Count is not like that!
While I was going through my thoughts like that, I reached the office...
As I stopped in front of the room, a guard knight called out in front of the door.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty. This is the General's office. Can I help you?"
"Yes, I am Julia von Fundid. I am the chief maid of the Princess Palace.Earl Baum was invited to speak with me earlier. "
"I'm sorry about that.Your Excellency is currently visiting… I will check with you soon, so please wait here for a moment. "
"Yes"
Oh, we were talking about going through Sebastian... I thought so, but this is what the guards do.
I think I'm just tired because I just checked it properly.
"Thank you for your patience.Please, come inside. "
"Thank you."
I thought it would only take a little while, but I was let through right away.
Well, I thought you were... but when you entered, there were people like Count Baum and customers who turned their backs on me.
First of all, I'd like to thank the lady and say hello.This must not be missed!
"Excuse me, Julia von Fundid, I'm here.I heard you called... but if you're visiting, should I come back again? "
"No, don't worry, this gentleman will leave soon.Rather, it was up to you to carry your feet and apologize.... that guest wants to say hi to you. "
"Huh?... well, Sensei!"
"Oh, miss, it's been a long time."
Yes, there was an old doctor who was involved in treating my burned cheeks at the fall playground!
"Yes, it's been a long time.Thank you very much for that. "
"Ho ho, it's work.I'm glad you're feeling well. You said you'd come here, so you did your best. "
"... Sensei, that's enough. I need to talk to her and ask her to leave."
"Oh dear, I'm not as busy as a general.That kind of thing makes you compassionate.... now, young lady, I'm a doctor in this military building, so I'll be in touch with you whenever you need me. "
"Thank you...?"
Eh, I wonder if there's anything like consulting a doctor in the army...
I don't have any problems with the usual medical bureau, and I usually go there to see a doctor.
(Well, it's a social resignation.)
"Now if you'll excuse me."
I saw a nostalgic face in an unexpected place, and it was dusty!
The exiting old doctor gently waved his hand at me and I looked back.
I wonder, just like my needlepoint grandmother... you're going to make me scratch!
Well...
Yes!
For a short while, I dropped off and jumped my shoulders when I heard a low voice on my back facing the door.
That's right, not if it's dusty.
Now, that's the point.
"... again, I'm sorry I had to carry my feet from here."
"Yes, no! The role of a general is important, so naturally."
"Thank you... you should sit on your couch.Let's get you some tea now. "
Slowly softening my eyes and laughing... somehow looks like Aldar.
When I turned to you again, the rising Countess Baum told me to sit on the sofa and hesitated for a moment before sitting.
It would be rude for me to be seated first, but I decided that it would be rude to refuse because you would meet me as a guest this time.
It's just me! I'm still in the maid's uniform!!
Wonder if the maid in the military wing who brought us tea for visitors will be all right.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
"Nobody else came here today."
"Yes"
I wanted to apologize directly to you.
Count Baum, who sat down across the street, looked straight at me.
