"... I wonder what it was..."
Aldar looked disgruntled at me with a dumb murmur.
I can see that it's not yakimochi or anxiety or anything like that, but... even if you call it an approach, it won't come to me, but I don't think it's a good mood for him to try.
Even if I knew Ardal wouldn't look good, surrounded by cute girls would make me sick!
"... oh?"
When I saw Ardal like that, I suddenly felt... uncomfortable.
Unwittingly reaching out and touching his eyes, Aldar opened his eyes to my actions.
What's with that cute expression?
Give in a little bit?
Huh? Yeah.
I gazed at Ardal, who was quiet but still succumbed to me.
Although it is normal, I can see the neighborhood slightly there... most importantly, I tilted my neck to understand the identity of the discomfort I had been feeling for a long time.
"... perfume I don't usually wear"
Eh
"And what, are you using oral medicine?" Are you not feeling well? Then first go to the infirmary without going out..... "
Yes, that's it!
I felt uncomfortable walking with Aldar.
I was hugged and it was even stronger, but I was surprised by the approach...
I think that being in a neighborhood and misleading about body odor and bad breath means that I'm not feeling well.
That's why I'm worried about the ring, but of course the important thing is the physical condition of the person I care about.
By the way, there are also oral medicines in this world for bad breath... In short, they contain mint to refresh your mouth.
I also use hangovers, but the strong medicine has a smell, so it is also used to deceive people.
It's mainly a painkiller.
The oral medicine used by the Knights seems to be very effective, but at the same time the smell and taste are also very strong.
Ardal is a knight, so there are some jobs I can't tell him about, and sometimes it's hard work... maybe that's why he's here!
(Huh? But I've never heard of it lately... I wonder if I'll put a knight who refuses to be honored in such a dangerous place.)
Unless you have something else to deal with, the other knights, right?
Looking toward Ardal, he gave an indescribable look, wandered his gaze, and sighed heavily.
"No...... this is......"
Ardal?
"I'm not hurt."
Huh?
"... let me drink until dawn"
Yeah?
"There are a lot of things like this. Well, there are things like that."
It was Aldar who seemed very hard to say, but he told me properly after moving to my room.
When I reported to the captain that the engagement had been fixed, Captain Bates announced it to those who were in the Kingsguard that day, and they congratulated me.
Well, Captain Bates already knew that we were going to be engaged, and I've already greeted you... I'm sure you would have liked to know this from the rest of the Kingsguard.
"But why did you drink it until the morning...?"
"Hmm... I didn't really want to talk about it."
Alas, Ardal received water from me and spoke with a bitter smile.
According to them, even the Kingsguards were looking for the right time to talk to me! Yes, it's the first time I've heard of it!!
"Yulia, look, I've been in the princess's palace all this time." There was almost no contact with the Kingsguard, was there? It was an official event, but the Princess hadn't taken part in the official business yet, so it was just a big event. "
Yeah, yeah.
"That's why, just as the local people were looking for the right time to speak out, there were also such people among the Kingsguard Knights."
No, yeah, well.
To be honest, I think it would be a good background if I wrote a fishing book. Not boasting.
Although it is a province, it is the daughter of the Viscount family with the territory, which is a favorite of the princess, and the royal family can remember it because of its relationship.
In addition, it combines the education and courtesy of being the head maid, and the level of the Chamber of Commerce that enters and leaves the Royal Palace is familiar to both.
(If you're a man from an aristocratic family, you'll be a woman who can take care of the house...)
I did not think about the appearance and contents at this time, and if I thought whether it was beneficial for the house, I was a superb property.
Well, I'd be very embarrassed if it seemed that way on a self-assessment basis... but I'll leave that alone!!
I think you know that I was the youngest person to enlist when I was 18.
Yeah, that's what they call a rising star, right?
"... I think a lot of people said it was the Baum family's seven lights." Well, anyway, basically, the Kingsguard can only belong to the nobility as we know it, and the Knights are selected from the Knights because of the large amount of strength required. That's why there are so many people in their mid-twenties and later. "
That's right.
"Well, in short, I'm at an appropriate age, so even if I'm a Kingsguard, I tend to have a certain high desire for my wife..."
Well, it's a gathering of aristocrats.
Of course, there is a feeling that it is for the sake of the nation..., but I wonder if it is because it is a select group among the knights of this country.
The standing behavior is beautiful, and the strength comes with origami.
Even the General Knights are very popular, but if you become the Kingsguard, it's very popular.
However, as well as being a unit directly under His Majesty the King, we will also be investigating the family.
Naturally, if you are a woman, you can carefully check that a woman who might go from dating to getting married afterwards...
(Even so, I'm clear.)
After all, there is a definite proof that you work in the Imperial Castle!!
So, I was listening to what you said earlier, and I thought.
Indeed, with Primera, I was always in the Princess's Palace.
It is natural to live in a royal palace, but the scope of life is very narrow... and the number of people to deal with will be limited, considering the safety aspects.
Of course, there were times when I met other palace maids and guardian knights more than just maids, but... when I asked if I could exchange words in person, I didn't think so.
In that sense, what stood out to me was that social debut.
Until then, I only existed as an iron wall maid, and I think that's all.
No, at that stage, as a marriage partner, wasn't it worth it?
I just don't get a chance to deal with someone like me.
Perhaps after the social debut, the invitation to the tea ceremony was blocked for the time being by the Empress Wangs...... so it was also included in the meeting.
If the Queen Mother's instructions were given, my parents would be able to write a letter of refusal with confidence.
(...... you were protected again before I knew it.)
However, now that Primera-sama is performing his official duties, I have more opportunities to go out, and at the same time I am expanding my circle of people... I mean, I think that's what happened to other people.
Well, I couldn't refuse to drink with you.
"I'm starting to think so, but I'm glad I didn't get hurt."
"... the alcohol isn't very weak, I don't mind, but I can't help but smell it during the rehearsal." I didn't mean to worry you. "
That seems to be the case with the blessing for Aldar, who was eventually stopped, and with a little jealousy.
Aldar smiled bitterly, but somewhat relieved.
"There's nothing dark behind me, but I'm glad Yulia worried about it without thinking about the shards."
But if this is the case, please be honest and talk to me first.
This heart won't hold!!
