It's summer vacation.
Me and Laura headed to the Marquis of Luminous.
Even so, it is a real home in the territory of Luminous, not a mansion for a stay in the King's capital.
That's where my father designated me for the first time in ten years of discussion.
I was born and raised.
My parents' house where I was kicked out.
There is a considerable distance from the Wang capital to the Marquis territory of Luminous, but the journey is easy and the 'transfer formation' is used.
We can move in an instant from one building with a transfer line to another with a transfer line as well.
"We have heard from the Marquis Luminous. Go ahead."
As Laura and I headed to the forwarding building in the King's Capital, the janitor gently drove us to the rear.
Transfer formations are not so easy to use.
Because it consumes a lot of magic every time it starts up, and it costs a lot to manage.
Only with the public permission of the great nobility can it be used. I mean, my father, the Marquis Luminous, is a man on the free side.
"Did Laura ever use the transfer team?
"I do. We used it during the water quality survey, didn't we?
Yes, it was. It was also flown in a transfer formation to the vicinity of Lake Biharne before travelling on foot.
"But I used that for everyone in the college. This is the first time I've used it on a personal level...... yeah, can I use it? It feels like."
Because most civilians don't have an edge...
The janitor opened the door properly. It was a room where large circles were drawn multiple times on one side of the floor, with intricate magical characters for each of those circles.
"Now, you go to the transfer team."
The administrator headed to the bookshelf placed on the wall to retrieve a book. Turn around and check the contents.
"This will be the book to the Lord Marquis of Luminous."
"Thanks"
I checked the contents of the book I was given, and I put it in the center of the transfer.
This book will tell you where to go.
"Then it starts. Please be careful not to leave the transfer team."
Administrator touches the console.
The noise of the gear turning rang from the perimeter of the room. At the same time, the transfer formation underfoot is glowing blue.
The moment that light becomes more radiant and the vision is dyed blue and white...
The light went out unexpectedly.
It was pretty much the same room just now. There is a transfer formation on the floor and a bookshelf at the wall.
But it's not in the right place.
He doesn't even look like a janitor. I don't even have a book I put in the center of the formation.
Similar to earlier, but in a different room.
"Looks like we're here."
I open the door and move to the next room.
There he is, another janitor saw me earlier, and I got up from the chair and bowed my head deeply.
"There you are, Alberto Luminous."
... don't feel the difference in treatment...
I feel irrevocably that this is the Marquis territory of Luminous.
I'm Alberto Luminous - probably well directed by my father.
A man in the corner of the room approached me all the time.
A man with a black vest woven over a white shirt and black trousers. Is he about 20 years old?
He was a shadowy man without much presence.
When a man puts his right hand on his chest, he greets me with a polite move to the tip of his nerves.
"Nice to meet you, Alberto. My name is Sebastian and I am a deacon in the Luminous family. Marquis Luminous has offered to take you."
You say that, huh? I tilted my neck like that.
"I heard you were bringing your alumni back, but that's better?
"Lolo, it's Laura! Best wishes, I will!
Laura answers as she bites. I could see my body and expression tending to be nervous.
...... I wonder if you're okay......
"Welcome. Tell me what it is, Lady Laura."
Sebastian bowed her head in a polite tone and manner to Laura as well.
"Then I'll show you. This way. We have a carriage for you."
Saying so, Sebastian walked out refreshed.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
Get in the carriage, we went for our parents' house.
You can see the view of Luminous, the territorial capital, through the window of the carriage.
Compared to the Wang capital, it is just small in size, but only in the heart of Marquis territory and many commercial facilities are fully developed. Many people seemed to come and go busy down the street.
Next to me, Laura sits with her hands on her thighs.
"... what's going on?
"Oh, um...! I got in the carriage, and, uh, it was my first time! Manners will be ok with this, Manners!?
"You just have to ride normally"
I pointed to the carriage window.
"Why don't you take a look at the view?
"Isn't it a violation of manners to just wander around!?
"It's okay. Because you don't have to worry about it."
"Yes!
In a gibberish, gibberish, rusty gear-like motion, Laura only moved her neck and turned her attention to the landscape.
… civilians have stepped into the noble world. I wouldn't be able to tell you not to be nervous. I'm struggling...... I hope you don't mind it as a stretch.
- Sebastian.
"Yes."
Sebastian smiles face to face when I call him.
Until then, I had silenced myself like a shellfish and erased the signs. I guess that's how you behave as a butler.
"I'm sorry if I forgot, but I don't know you. Have you been with the Luminous family for ten years?
"No."
Sebastian shook his head.
"I've been looking after you for a week now"
"... a week ago...?
"Yes. He wants to rejuvenate his servant with your husband's intentions. Except for what we've hired in the last few years, we've switched personnel one after another."
Sir - Marquis Luminous. That's my father.
"Really? I mean, almost everyone's fired......?
"Frankly. They just pay more for retirement, and if they want, they'll talk about their next place of employment."
At least my father seems to be fulfilling his minimum in-laws.
Dismissal of ancient ginseng servants.
Sebastian, a butler hired a week ago.
I had one thing in mind.
"... tell me. Was it not until Marquis Luminous returned from the King's Capital that he launched that policy?
"That's what I'm asking."
I sighed inside.
Again, huh?
Ever since I got back from Wang Du - I mean, since you met me.
This is a measure for me.
I was dumb compared to my brilliant brother Arrangea. I was a laugh at home. Even the servant spoke ill of me in the shadows.
Yes, even servants.
My father, who knows it, fired the ancient senator's servant.
For what?
For me.
Now that Arrangea's dead, I'm no longer the only one in the Luminous family. If you break my mood, there will be no later.
That's why my father took the lead and eliminated the elements that offended me.
A servant of ancient ginseng who has only one trace in the world and can be replaced.
It's self-evident which way to choose.
It was a heavy thing to meet a servant who did laugh at me. I was wondering what I was gonna do.
I didn't expect you to be fired.
The speed of that decision represents the solidity of the Father's will.
I mean, you can call me back if you want.
"... Ah, Mr. Alberto. You can see the big castle!
Laura's voice. I interrupt my thinking.
I saw the view Laura was looking at, and I said.
"Is that it? That's my home."
"Home!? home!? castle!?
Laura looks back in an amazing shape and sounds sober.
That's right.
From the window of the carriage, you could see my parents' house, the 'Castle' of the Marquis of Luminous.
