Two days after I talked to Master Bates, I was summoned by the maid.
Oh, I'm sure that story must have been (...) I might have been grateful to have been prepared for a lot of things.
Because if you ask the chief maid without knowing, you will leave the room without thinking of asking questions or asking questions that have turned your head white... isn't that what happened?
I want to avoid that as much as possible. No, we should avoid it.
After all, as a maid, I don't know how to ask you to join me!
(Of course, as your daughter, it's unusual for a maid to participate...?)
In that case, it could be the award-winning side... but if I remember for sure, it seems that the maid was never awarded at this award ceremony in the past. Basically, even the maids are helpful and necessary professions, rather important.
But there's a point in honoring the knights and clerks as the main ones.
Because they are the ones who risk their lives.
The reality is that if you don't show your cool, nice, attractive, and thought-provoking achievements, your hand (...) will be limited.
You're well paid and honored to be an aristocrat... but there are monsters in a peaceful world.
In that sense, the knights are deadly, the civilians sometimes go to the front line in connection with the resupply, and the doctors seem to be in the command line of the civilians, so the awards are classified as such.
Compared to that, maids are powerful under the precious edge, but they are not life-threatening and are safe professions!
...... is superficial. Well, that's the heart.
However, I've heard rumors that some maids don't even have the role of spies, so... hey? You can't honor me, can you?
Besides, even if nothing happens, (...) the maid is a popular profession...
I'm sorry to put it this way, but it's true that if you work as a maid, you will encounter a lot.
Knights, civil servants, and nobles.
"Not everyone is like that, but it's a popular job, including those who want it..."
(Just like Scarlett once did. No, in her case, I just wanted to get the Prince to see it from the beginning and say that she was a great human resource, but I didn't seem to think about it that way)
Well, anyway.
Knight-like flower shapes are built on danger, and it's hard to see why a civil servant loses to the popularity of a military officer and the number of them drops.
That's why the maid was not awarded.
Then, what are you going to do with me (...)?
(If you set a precedent, things may change. If you're the maid of honor, you'll understand...)
Not to mention me!?
I've lived in the plain of the plain, now why!?
No, it would be greatly appreciated if you could praise me. If that leads to a temporary bonus, you are very welcome, but I still don't want to stand out!!
(But if it's to the credit of Primera-sama.....)
Is that all right? What a bit of a thought.
Whatever you say, what are you going to say?
I knocked nervously on the bailiff's office.
When I entered the room with permission, the chief maid did the paperwork.
After a while, the maid with a raised face nods one at me.
You kept me waiting.
No.
"Sit down, it's going to be a long story."
"... yes"
Long stories can be a nasty thing to accept, right?
This case is definitely about the awards ceremony, so it's troublesome.
"This time, the head of the Princess's Palace has been given the role of carrying the medal used for the award ceremony."
"Yes, Kaikoma... eh, yes?" What is the role of the Medal bearer now...? "
Even though I replied unexpectedly, I had a lot of questions!
But I don't think I can help it.
Because that's the role of a medal bearer, isn't it? A very important role for His Majesty the King to stand by while he awards!?
As if anticipating my surprise, the maid was quietly scolded without reprimanding me for this upset.
"That's right. Your Majesty's clerk was originally chosen, but this time only, you will be in charge of the head of the Princess's Palace." This is a decision and will not be overshadowed. Got it? "
I understand!
Sure.
The maid replied to my reply with a reassuring expression.
No, what I'm going to say is, I'm going to say, "No! 'I can see that there's nothing I can do about it, and I can't waste it.
That said, just as I am confused, I'm sure that even the maid in charge is often confused by the unusual in this case.
After all, it looks like you're tired somewhere.
"I don't think it's surprising, but this time only." If you are the head of the Princess's Palace, you will have no problem in front of His Majesty. I won't tell you not to be nervous, but relax your shoulders and come. "
“Yes, thank you.... can I ask you why?"
Or is it a pattern to ask in detail this time?
If the chief maid says so, I will swallow it too, but if it is anyway, I would like to hear it. I thought about it a little bit.
"Very well, of course."
Oh, I wasn't expecting anything, but can you teach me a lesson...?!
I was waiting for the words of the maid of honor who had somehow managed to stop me.
"First of all, at this award ceremony, five knights and two civil servants will be awarded. Their details are irrelevant to you, except for one person, so I'll skip them, but I'm talking about them on the basis of a legitimate assessment. Isn't that good?"
Yes.
"And as for you, there is a fact that your achievements should be appreciated in some way from all sides."
"... eh?"
“As you know, the royal family, or noble people, have rewarded me in an informal way at their own discretion, but no maid has been officially recognized by the state since it was founded.”
That's right. There are many stories of maidservants who once served the queen going up to the king's side room in anticipation of his personality, or recommending him to the adopted daughter of a nobleman who usually works well even if he comes from a low status...
I think it fits with the perception that you are changing shape and rewarding loyalty, and for me, the biggest reward is to protect that smile next to Primera-sama.
"First of all, in recognizing me, I can't stand out as an award-winning person, but let me be present at the scene... Is that correct?"
“Generally that interpretation is fine. Perhaps your Majesty intends to speak to you directly...... The Prime Minister and the General have spoken about this, but I wonder what will happen......"
No, no, it's not like that!?
I just imagine that His Majesty the King will put words of hard work into his maid at the award ceremony, and I wonder what kind of attention he will get anyway!?
"What happened during the awards ceremony is a needless story and an implicit understanding from a long time ago, but I say that there is no door in a person's mouth. I will stand by His Majesty to ease this situation."
"... that's very comforting..."
“But there are also benefits. Of course, I think your Majesty's honor will be better than anything else....."
I can't stand any more pressure than that!
There was no way I could say it, and I just nodded silently like a red servant.
The chief maid looked at me with such pitiful eyes and continued to say words.
"The horizontal spears of engagement surrounding you, they will probably all disappear after this award ceremony." On the contrary, I think a lot of people agree with the engagement with Lord Baum. ”
"... eh?"
You know better than to stand out from me, maid of honor!
All I could think of was a stupid voice that didn't catch up with what was being said.
