"Welcome, Princess Palace Headmaster. Thank you for your hard work....... thank you for showing me Aldar."
No.
"Now, let me introduce myself again." I'm Brandon Harvey von Bates, the Kingsguard Captain. The title is bestowed on me as a marquis, but feel free to call me Bates. "
"My name is Yulia von Fundid and I am the head of the Princess's Palace. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to exchange your words, Bates."
When I am greeted with a refreshing smile, I, as a lady, give my thanks without embarrassment.
But my head is fully spinning!
(Captain Bates is the Marquis. Is that it? Um... I'm sure it's a living house, Marquis Ardley. It must have been more of an aristocrat than an army.)
The gentle smile is somehow reminiscent of the Marquis of Nashanda... but I feel that the Ardley family was related to the Nashanda family.
Well, when I say that, it's often said that aristocrats are connected somewhere.
Look, it's like Scarlett's Pigeon House!
But now we are convinced of the dandy.
In terms of age... I wonder if he's a little older than Count Baum.
As long as I can remember, I think I was single... "It seems that there is nothing that connects with His Highness the King's younger brother around here that publicly says that certain women do not make democracy.
(I gave you the territory to keep away from His Majesty the King, but did you leave it to the deputy?)
Even though the information of high-ranking officials has been slammed right into my head, it's hard to ask if I can give it out immediately! Because how long do you think there will be high-ranking officials in the Royal Castle?!
That said, I've learned to be a high-ranking official I don't normally deal with.
Gaining time to remember is also a must-have skill for maids.
... no, I wasn't praised, and honestly, even if you're not a maid, it's only convenient to have it as an interpersonal skill.
"Oops, excuse me without tea." I don't care if you both call me and let me go. I just drink tea and talk, so it doesn't get so stiff. "
"...... Now, excuse me."
I feel nervous about sitting on the leather sofa, which is set up to welcome guests, but it's more rude to refuse.
If you think Ardal is more uncomfortable than I am, you can survive...!
But I was the one who was called.
We should cut through here in a dignified way.
Looking at the place where the maid who brought the tea left, I opened my mouth.
“How can I help you today?”
"It would be sad to be treated like that." I just wanted to say hello to my lovely subordinate's fiancée... oh, no. I have a few other things to tell you, but I'm sure the purpose is to congratulate you both. ”
I don't think Bates said that with a smile on his face... no, don't be fooled.
I didn't know what you had in your stomach!
He was one of the high nobles!!
Even if I was called this time, there must be something like checking if I'm the right woman for Ardal.
... I think there is a possibility that it will be blessed normally, so I would like to make sure not to doubt it too much!
(Um... surely when you left the Marquis's house and became a Kingsguard, you started as a Viscount after receiving the title that your parents held.)
So she was laughed at for a while with her parent, the Seven Light Knights, but she silenced them for the achievement of killing the wolf lizard...
After that, I was awarded the title of Count with some other kettle, and I was awarded the title of Marquis at the same time as the current Kingsguard Captain.
In that sense, it may indeed be said to be an aristocratic (...) method of succession.
From the beginning, I held the title, and instead of receiving it, I envied it from the second son of the noble family, Lord Shoshaku.
No, I already have a lot of talent in terms of whether or not I have enough talent to succeed in life.
You've got a talent for spinning axes.
"No, I was interested in the woman who boned Aldar."
"Captain"
"Because it is, isn't it?" Because you're not good at it, but you're not good at it. "
Bates told me that Ardal belonged to the Guardian Knights and was recognized as a member of the Guard without any particular problems.
It's called an honor student type.
I will do what I am told, and I will earnestly work on the tasks I have been given, and if anything, I will not do the work I was asked to do without my disgusting face and help, and that's why I was an exemplary knight... "
When they told me to get out of the fight, whether in training or in actual combat, I didn't hesitate to go, which seemed to me to be dangerous.
"Seriously, I was throwing it somewhere."
"Do you want to throw it?"
"Yes, it was a man who neglected himself. But he had the strength."
If you didn't have the strength, you'd be slapped, you'd feel pain, and you'd learn how to avoid it by thinking you didn't like it... I guess that's not what happened.
Because Ardal is strong.
That must have seemed so close to Bates.
I remember what Keith Leth once said about something similar.
"But I wonder if she finally remembered how scary she was when she fell in love with her daughter." Anyway, I'm glad I'm back in the crowd. "
"... Captain, around here..."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Giggling Bates, Aldar looks indescribable.
Keith Less isn't the only one who can't get his head up!
Well, Keith Less is close enough to slap you lightly, but maybe Bates is his boss...
"Well, I was surprised when I heard that he had such a lover, and I was surprised when I heard that he decided to get married. From the bottom of my heart, I am glad that the opponent is a solid opponent."
"... thank you very much"
I didn't know what it was best to give it back, and I stopped to say thanks.
Maybe he praised me.
Well, at the same time, I thought I'd talk to you a little bit about blessing.
Talk about it, huh?
Aldar looks strange, so I know he's new to it.
the Kingsguard captain bothered to tell the blessing...?
“I think of Count Baum as a friend, but he's a very bad speaker, and he's got something to hold on to. It may be a parent-child resemblance, but it's not like I'm a son."
"... I can't answer that."
"Hahaha, that's fine." I don't expect an answer there. Anyway, you've heard from other humans that Count Baum acted with some kind of readiness, haven't you? You don't have to tell me about it, and maybe you don't need to know about it... but you can ask me if that's okay. "
"Is that okay...?"
"Yes, it is."
You don't have to know. You should know that.
"Yes," said Alyssa.
Neither Aldar nor I can help but be puzzled.
But this felt like a big choice.
"You don't have to ask for answers right now." If you are concerned about that, when will it be? And with that in mind, there's something for both of you to know. ”
"... what is it?"
Are we going to be alone?
Bates smiled when he saw us face to face.
"Your Majesty is planning to award you a medal in recognition of your work in killing monsters." Her Royal Highness will also attend the ceremony, so you will also be present at the head of the Princess's Palace. "
