Whether it is a Bianca-sama's workshop, this is the view of the "tea party" of the high nobility and the lower nobility, and the response on the part of the invited side, what the servant needs from the master, and the other way round... Anyway, the night I learned.

I was having dinner with Aldar in the castle cafeteria.

The cafeteria in the castle can be used by everyone, and private rooms can be used as long as it is available!

Sometimes a great man brings his men to the cafeteria...

Of course, the price is affordable, but when the castle chef cooks, there's no way you won't use it.

This is the taste of working in a royal castle!

...... Actually, the servants who come from commoners or lower nobles don't come from their parents' homes, so without such a place, it's hard to do without them.

Reality is spicy. Tohooho.

Is it easy to understand if you think that the person who is given a room in the castle is paid after deducting the rent?

Still, it's a lot cheaper than renting a room under a castle!

It is common to use the dining room for meals.

In the Princess's Palace, we sometimes get paid, but that's because we hire a full-time chef and a small number of people... and we use the cafeteria as usual.

Me and Aldar are always looking after this cafeteria...! "

This time, I was able to rent a private room, so I wanted to relax and chat.

By the way, today's dinner set was salad, bread and onion gratin soup wrapped in fish pie.

Some men don't have enough dishes, but Ardal also added Garrett.

"... so I was given the task of actually entertaining Alyssa by Bianca-sama's guidance."

On the face of it, Bianca gave Primera a challenge as part of the ladies' lesson called "Tea Party."

His Majesty's letter to his wife, Count Baum, and his potential fiancée, Mother Dean Dain, will tell you more about Primera's hospitality.

Externally, it will also show that the Duchess is bridging the future relationship between the nobility, the military and the royal family...

I just want to have a friendly cup of tea!Even though it's just that, it's quite a difficult story!

Well, there is nothing to hide about this topic in this way, so we can talk about it here, right?

Aldar was smiling at my words, but he gave me a little thought.

"I see. Then I guess I'll have to take off my night shift that day, too?"

"What? Why?"

"It's about my mother-in-law. I thought you might apply to see me after the tea ceremony.I'll be ready from now on to listen to your boastful stories. "

Well!

How dare you be so proud.

Well, I don't have a chance to exchange words directly with Primera-sama... I'm sure Alyssa-sama will be looking forward to a conversation with her future daughter or the person who will succeed Mrs. Baum.

Even if I subtract them, I don't think there's anyone who doesn't enjoy spending time with Primera-sama like an angel.

I wish I could tell you the story of Aldar's childhood, so I'm not really looking forward to it!

It's a secret to him... I don't feel like I'm getting caught, but it's a secret.

"That's right, about our engagement... my dad told me that we were going to start scheduling face-to-face."Before that, I wonder if I can get out of town on my next holiday. "

"In town? Yeah, I don't mind, but..."

"I want to hear Yulia's opinion when I give you a ring at the time of engagement.If you place an order from now on, it will be completed before the engagement ceremony after the face-to-face meeting, and I want to give it to you as soon as possible. "

"... eh, eh... um, but it doesn't have to be that awesome.It's a simple one.... "

"Say that again.Isn't this good?I want to choose together. "

Ugh... sure! That's it!It's not like I've never dreamed of it either!!

To be honest, it's something special.A treasure of a lifetime.

Then it is important to pay attention to the details and choose products that can be used for many years.

Especially the engagement ring has long been said to be a good thing for the noble lady, and it is also said to show how much it is valued by the other person (and their home)...

The aristocratic ceremony involves people close to each other in addition to the families of the two families, as well as people at the top of the ceremony with a horizontal connection.

At that time, if the future bride wears a chubby ring, she will be questioned about her grace!

"Well, I'm going to be a knight, and even the engagement ceremony is going to be something inward... but at least let me do this so that you won't be embarrassed."

I knew Ardal was asking me out in anticipation of what I couldn't say, but I was so embarrassed and honest... oh no!

"... thank you, Aldar. I wonder if I can order chains while we're at work, thinking about each other's necklaces."

"Great. Let's do it."

Little by little, little by little, this process of becoming realistic still makes you want to dream.

Even now, it feels so fluffy...

It's hard to tighten the facial expressions that tend to get loose.

But yes, since both parents are blessing each other, you can go to the engagement without any problems... you can already think about the engagement ceremony beyond that.

"Oh, yes. I have a question about the ring."

Consultation?

Aldar nodded with a slightly troubled look at me as I felt somewhat illuminated and laughed.

"Actually, I informed the captain of the Guard that I was going to be engaged."Well, since your father gave you the conditions and the captain accepted them, you also know what the situation is, so please report it. "

Yeah.

Well, it's not strange that Captain Ardal should know that as a result of his engagement to Count Baum, Ardal was driven out to kill monsters from all over the country.

I'll also report it because it worked. I plan to report it to the maid of honor when the date of face-to-face meeting is set.

I think I will be scolded if I report that I only have plans and I am unsure of my future schedule, so I will only report when I have some information!

We are not putting it behind us!!

So, the captain wants to say hello to Yulia again.

"Well, is that a greeting?"... what? Say hello? "

"Yes, greetings.".

“Who?”

"My captain."

"To whom?"

"To Yulia."

Aldar's smiling face showed me that I had no right to veto.

Yes, yes, it's only natural to say hello to your future husband's boss!

But is that what you're talking about!?

"I... I see." Please let me know when it's convenient for you. I'll match it with you. "

"Thank you."

But then I'll wrap my stomach around it!

I'll greet you inside the Imperial Castle and do it as a master maid!

... no, as Aldar's fiancée!!
