After that, Mayna went back to work.
Yes, yes, I was just helping you with my clothes and everything thanks to Primera-sama! Thank you, Mayna!!
Even though it's not as gorgeous as a party dress, it's pretty hard to dress and wear alone, so... it's usually something you don't wear alone!!
(Ugh, it's so shabby...)
It was really helpful that Maina took the time to prepare a snack and tea set.
The main form of social gathering is standing meals, but... well, you can't just eat there!
It's a dress in the first place, so it doesn't get in that much!!
I make tea and reach for cookies, but I can't easily eat them because of the tension.
Even if the makeup falls off, it is troublesome.
"I had it done cleanly at the corner..."
(When will Aldar come?)
Perhaps Aldar hasn't returned to his chamber in the castle and is now speaking with Count Baum.
Mostly about titles and things like that.
After all, Ardal will get noticed at the next get-together... so will I.
That's right, the knight suddenly had plans for the Viscount.
Moreover, it is a hereditary system of starting a new house.
Your Majesty said that you would continue to serve as a Kingsguard, so it was said that there was a possibility of leading the Kingsguard in the future...
(Even if it doesn't go well with your favorite, it's probably natural for people around you to think that you're being cared for...)
In that case, many people will say that they want to be close to (...) while investing upfront in the future.
Attracting people to your faction... is just as tough at this get-together, so I'm sure you'll want to make a good impression next time in order to invite them in... No, it looks like the next time will be troublesome.
(... no, that's the kind of wife you want!!)
The administrative skills that I have developed in my maid life over the years will not be exerted here, but I will always exert myself!
No, I'm exerting myself during my duties.
"Yes, yes!!"
Today, I thought about matching the customer's name and face and taking countermeasures for the next... and there was a knocking.
When I replied in a hurry, my voice turned back slightly, but I think it's probably okay.
This is my private room, so I think it will be someone from the Princess's Palace at this time.
I thought about it, but just in case, I opened the door and looked at the gap, and it was Aldar.
When he opens the door in a hurry, he looks a little surprised at the momentum.
"Aldar...!"
"Julia, I've arrived a little early... do you mind?"
Of course. If you'd like to come in, I have snacks and tea...
"That would be helpful."
Ardal came in and looked up to the sky, sitting in a chair, keeping his body on his back.
Apparently, you look tired.
Seeing that, I sneaked a cookie out of the cabinet and put it in front of Ardal.
Are you okay?
"Yeah, no, there's a lot of information."
Amount of information?
Oh, is it about the title?
It was a surprise indeed. I wonder what happened to all of us!
What about Count Baum?
"... apparently I was going to let you know later and finish the paperwork at a later date." I'm going to give up my machiya house and so forth.... "
"That's right..."
No matter how cute Aldar is, I thought it was too big a gift.
I'm glad I made up my mind. Even now, I don't think I made the right decision.
"I understand why you couldn't tell me, and why you made me do something so prominent after killing a monster." Yulia's story about being adopted by the Marquis of Nashanda... is that this makes all the difference... "
Aldar's voice is a bitter mix, but I can't help it.
I can't get rid of the feeling that everything was rolling on the palms of great people.
“But I don't think it's all bad.”
Well, yeah.
I don't like Ardhar being called the next Sword Saint either, but I'm glad the locals knew that he wasn't just strong, he could behave like a gentleman.
Not because you're the next Sword Saint.
Wouldn't it be nice to see Ardal and see someone who wants to be a knight?
No, I'm sure there will be such a young man in the future!
"After I was granted the title, I was granted the engagement period with Julia, and I even got permission to marry her sooner or later."
"... it's complicated not to be allowed in a house like the one I've been thinking about since I've just been given the title..."
It's all I've imagined about the new house, Paa!!
Probably it should be a style where you have multiple employees with a decent place to stay.
Even the lady with the title is allowed to serve in the palace itself, and some of the people who are called senior servants of the Royal Palace are actually such people, so I don't think my lifestyle will change.
It's just that you have to rent a (...) house worthy of the title in an aristocratic city in the capital.
After all, the Viscount, who was granted the title directly by His Majesty the King, lived a life of mere nobility, so the world...
(No money! You can't be born without money!!)
I want you to understand that the wallet situation of newlyweds is not rich.
No, that's impossible... the other side is royalty, isn't it?
“I think we're going to get you a new home.”
Ardal must have sensed something in my chest, he said with a sigh.
Well, I suppose so… If the Synod had already been framed without our knowledge, there would be plenty of reserves for those who would have found a new home.
I do remember having such a policy... well, I don't know much about it because it's out of jurisdiction.
And there are a few troublesome things.
Troublesome?
"... first of all, I want you to put together a draft of your family name before the get-together."
Huh!?
"Second, decide whether you want to be near the Duke's House or the Earl's House."
"... yeah... yeah..."
And the third, which I hate the most.
Huh?
Anything Aldar told me while counting his fingers? 'Even if it's just me, it's just confusing...
I wonder how tired he is.
For now, it's a draft. What's your name? And then the Count and the Duke!
What kind of faction are we still in?
"Hey, what's the third one...?"
He let out a heavy sigh at me, wondering if it was a bad thing without thinking of Aldar, who could hardly continue speaking.
And the look on my face was unbelievably bitter...... I'm surprised that Ardal is really unusual.
What the hell is wrong with you?
"...... Actually, only my squire has been decided upon."
"Huh? Not our choice?"
"That's right..."
Just the squire is decided... I don't know why it feels so nice.
A squire is a must for the owner!
Basically, this is a position where you have to play the role of secretary and dedicated butler at the same time, and sometimes you have to show off your multi-skilled talents, such as escorting.
Well, we don't appoint them, we're appointed by the royal side... I wonder if that means you're keeping an eye on them to some extent.
I don't have a stomach ache from being searched!
"That's Hans."
Huh?
Hairdresser?
I unintentionally repeat Aldar's words.
"Hans Edwald von Remred.... you know Hans, too."
"Yeah! Yeah!"
