Kuro no Senki (LN)

Lesson 11: Contracts, Part II

Oh, this isn't Viscount Hamal territory, and Cecily strokes the sheets.

The beds in the rooms to which they are addressed are less comfortable than those used in Viscount Hamal territory.

It's not like you quit the army, you didn't get anything.

Cecily gained traction in the army.

If you care about it, you can sleep in a crude bed, and you can withstand crude food.

The room to which Cecily was addressed is… naturally private.

There are few conditioning items and the furniture is simple to build.

Seems like a poor room was Cecily's feeling about the rooms, but in terms of practicality, that's the point.

Nevertheless, as time passes, thoughts increase in clarity, and mundane and angry.

After all, that man is the son of a builder.

I will accept the Lady of the Viscount Hamal as a courtesy apprentice, so I should kneel down and express my gratitude.

I said... change it, and the grown-up son doesn't need Cecily.

Besides making him imitate his service, he must have only the son of a maker and not understand the system of behavioral apprenticeship.

Behavioral apprenticeships are done to strengthen relationships between houses in the same way as marriage.

Perhaps my brother is looking to set Cecily up as a second lady or mistress.

At all, your brother is also your brother. Cecily toothpicks at me for offering me to someone who can't even tell the difference between stones and gems.

But the Empress Tilia has understood. For one thing, I will go under the umbrella of Empress Tilia and let you manipulate that humble mercenary's son as you wish, and Cecily will have a dark delight.

At that time, Cecily unexpectedly felt signs that people were approaching.

All I know is that there are multiple people, but they're making footsteps with Zukazuka, so I guess they're not going to hide the signs.

Just in case, and Cecily reaches for the dagger she snuck on her pillow.

Caution is important.

If you neglect to be cautious and get hurt, your value will go down.

Dokan! and the door kicked,

"" Dance!!

d A flashy flame lit up the room and the explosion sounded.

……

Cecily rolled off the bed with her dagger clenched in a sudden outrage.

Naturally. I have no experience of indoors releasing offensive magic, not to mention inferior.

"Get up, get up! How long have you been asleep, what a maid of honor!

"No maid inferior to bugs... it's impossible for a waste maid to wake up later than us!

Two maids who disregarded Pocan and the distracted Cecily and intruded...... they look just like they did in the mirror, so they would be twins...... when they finished summoning one, they refrained by both sides of the door like trained soldiers.

First, it was the Empress Tilia who came into the room, and the next was as maid as a little over thirty.

The last time I came in was also a maid.

Is he about fifteen years old?

It's black in color and it doesn't look good anyway.

"You're over there."

"Hee hee."

When instructed, the badly eyed maid moves next to Cecily as she bites off the stretch as she sleeps.

"Ko, what is this?

"" Dance!

As soon as we approached Empress Tilia, aggressive magic erupted again.

Cecily stopped her legs and stared at Empress Tilia.

"Maid education."

"I'm an apprentice and not a maid of honor!

Cecily said, Empress Tilia invited her twin elves.

The three of us formed a circle,

"We've been disputed. The note I got from Chrono... it says nothing but cursing."

"It's like you shouldn't be weak!

"We just have to push it off here with strength!

"Oh, yeah."

Cohon and Princess Tilia have one cough.

"You are... a maid. I'm going to get as much education as I can as a maid."

"I'm an apprentice! I ask for honorable treatment as a nobleman!

Huh? And the twin elves told me to mock them.

"You used us as shields to make me laugh at you for running away."

"You know, it hurts one stomach, like honor to be sold to you."

"I'm not for sale! Undo it!"

Ah? and the twin elves snapped at Cecily.

"More than that, I'll stab you when I get close!

"" He's superior!

Flying by the twin elves, Cecily aggressively tried to pull her dagger out of her sheath.

"... Huh!

The shock runs and my breath is stuck.

A blind maid who was lying next to him kicked up Cecily's dovetail.

"Dagger, take it!

"I'm gonna peel it off!

Oh, stop it! It was the sound of Kehu, Kehu, that came out in place of the word.

Cecily resisted by slamming her hands and feet, but two to one.

Sleeping clothes were mutilated and Cecily stared at the twin elves as she hid her breasts.

"... well, just fine"

Empress Tilia threw at Cecily the clothes she had received from the maid who had refrained behind her back.

"What is it?

"It's an apron dress. You don't have to wear it if you don't want to. I'll let you stay naked then."

Cecily stared at the Empress Tilia.

It was a mistake to think you understood.

No, from the beginning, Empress Tilia was on that grown-up's side.

"I guess Viscount Brad Hamal will scratch his shame. I guess my sister gets kicked out without a satisfactory job while I let Chrono make all those concessions. Could it be possible to review the contract?

Zokri and chills crawl up my spine.

I don't know why.

"... I get it. I'll get dressed soon, so why don't you leave?

What? and the twin elves asked back as if they were frightened.

"I understand."

In anger, Cecily changed into an apron dress.

"... I was bored, but, well, it would be good"

The Empress Tilia said satisfactorily.

"You must have worn an apron dress of your own free will. I'm going into made-to-measure training... but don't open your mouth except when you're spoken to! From the mouth..."

Empress Tilia dropped her gaze on a bunch of paper and let her gaze swim as if she were confused.

"The only two replies are yes or no!

……

"Hee hee."

"The reply is yes!

"" Yes!

When Cecily and the badly eyed maid replied out loud, Empress Tilia nodded this again satisfactorily.

"Okay, let's introduce ourselves. I... am good about me. Alyssa will be in charge of your training."

"Thank you."

The maid who was holding back behind the Empress Tilia...... Alyssa said in a voice that goes well.

"Deneb and Aridead are assistants in training. And I'm in charge of cursing. During training, you can call Alyssa a teacher, and she's a senior against Alyssa and other maids besides herself. About me... call me ma'am"

"" Yes, ma'am!

"... ma'am, that sounds great"

Are you excited, Empress Tilia blushed her cheeks.

"Okay! You are now less than maids... less than featherworms! It's the inferiost creature in the world! If you want to be treated like a maid, get through the trials!

"" Yes, ma'am!

I was anxious to see what kind of treatment awaited, but Alyssa...... her training as a maid chief was legitimate.

First of all, it was the mindset that taught me.

The point is to be faithful to Chrono, my husband, and to strive to maintain the Marquis Mansion so that even unexpected visitors may be welcomed.

Next, a diagram will be used to describe where the maid works in the mansion.

I guess there was some consideration for Verna who couldn't read the letters, but in the figure, it's easy to see where the maid is and what kind of work she does.

When I finish explaining the whole story, it's a practice.

Even so, practice how to clean and carry dishes when rubbed off with the Guest while being explained.

If it fits into swordsmanship and body surgery, it would be something like mould archery.

Oh, with this, and Cecily's relieved.

I'm not sure why myself.

... there was a time when I was thinking about it.

Cecily waved the vibration she named Leonhardt with her trembling hands.

According to Empress Tilia's description, Tsubaki seems to be Cecily's lover, who is less than a feather worm.

"What's up? Can you see the motion stopping? Don't guzzle me! Move it! The sun's going down! You're not gonna let me eat like you did last night?

"Yes, ma'am!

Cecily's voice echoes in the corner of the Marquis Mansion.

It was one of the rooms that was chosen as a place for maid training.

Nicely cleaned room.

There is no visible rubbish when swept with a shovel.

The words of the Empress Tilia are equal to the saying.

"... Empress Tilia"

"What?"

Apparently Alyssa notices something and gives the Empress Tilia an earful punch.

"Are you gonna shake your ass and even dance? Or are you inviting a man?

"... Huh!

When Cecily glanced, Empress Tilia laughed all the time saying she was waiting.

"What are those defiant eyes? Right, you want to shake your hips so bad? Then I'll let you swing it! Squat!"

"Wow, give me a break!

Buh! and Empress Tilia waved a horse whip.

"The reply is yes, ma'am!

Cecily and Verna carefully laid the cuckoo on the floor and put their arms behind their heads.

"Deneb, Aridead, count."

"" Yi-chi, no to... "

When Cecily and Verna started squatting, Empress Tilia slowly started walking.

"... you'll hate me like a snake scorpion. But you get as close to a true maid as you hate me. You got it!

"" Yes, ma'am!

"Don't be ridiculous! Shout it out!

I squeezed my voice out hard, but it's a curse that came back from Empress Tilia.

"" Yes! Ma'am! "

Cecily had learned that if she took a defiant attitude in a short amount of time, the penalty's armrests and squats would be put on top.

Being submissive is the right thing to do.

But even if you are responding correctly, the curse of Empress Tilia falls relentlessly.

"We're losing speed! You're even going to be a newborn child horse mane!

"" No, ma'am!

Empress Tilia waved a horse whip and had an abusive (sadistic) grin.

"Kufu, kufu, my mission is a useless elimination. It's not about thinking about what you can do for Chrono, it's about getting rid of less than a featherworm useless like thinking about what Chrono can do for you."

Empress Tilia shook her body as she was impressed.

"Kufu, you don't need a name or anything less than a feather worm. I'll give you the name I deserve."

Princess Bishi and Tilia poked the tip of the horse whip at Cecily.

"I'll call you a waste of milk. It's the name you deserve for wasting your nourishment on your chest and wasting your big tits."

Kufu, and the Empress Tilia laughs like she can't stand it.

"Co, this, is, wasting milk. Or useless wasting milk. Cows are better off just serving milk. This, this, this wasting milk."

Empress Tilia leaned down,

"Who's wasting milk! Kronovo! He wants you to, so you did! I did my best! I did my best!

"Princess, calm down!

"Take care!

The twin elves supported Empress Tilia from left to right moaning about Ororo ~ n, Ororo ~ n.

"... p"

"Grunt!"

Empress Tilia stared at Verna, who had blown out of nowhere, in a haunted shape.

"I've decided on your name."

……

Empress Tilia lifted with both arms that seemed to emphasize Cecily's richer swelling than that.

"... slab"

"... Huh!

As Verna stretched her expression, Empress Tilia nodded satisfactorily.

You liked the name you gave yourself too much, I repeated it over and over again with the slab, slab.

"I'm gonna totally adore you! I won't be able to cry or laugh! Fifty extra squats! If you can't stand up, get down on your arms!

Late at night...... the thought was ambiguous.

I don't even know if someone led me or walked on my own.

Soon Cecily was in a room in the basement of the Marquis Mansion, falling into bed.

It was just underground, a small, gloomy room.

The furniture has two thin dirty beds, between which there are poor tables and chairs.

Someone must have carried me.

There was soup and bread on the table for two.

The air in the room is polluted by the smell of dust and mold (mold) and after all that work I don't have an appetite.

Cursory, Cecily and Verna sat in their seats and mechanically poured the meal into their stomachs.

The cold, hardened fat adheres snugly to the lips.

I was uncomfortable with that feeling, but if I didn't even take a meal like this, I'd be sick and driven back to Viscount Hamal territory.

Finishing the meal, Cecily fell back into bed.

Verna grumbles on the bed in a similar condition.

"... not really."

"Patience until training is over."

As Cecily looked up at the ceiling and whined, Verna said in a groaning tone.

"I'm noble, aren't I?

"Right. Then why don't you just go home?"

"When I go home, don't you get punished?

The usual Cecily is rewarding Verna's disrespectful dialogue with force, but what if she finds out? The thought made me hesitate to appeal to violence.

"I won't take much punishment, maybe."

Scratching his head boldly, Verna said carelessly.

"There's no place to run. Besides, I've treated you worse, but compared to where I was, this is heaven. Rice's out, and there's a bunk. Hopefully, they'll even teach you how to read and write letters."

"If you're up to it, I'll work with you. Of course, I assure you of my life after the escape."

"... stop"

Verna turned her back on Cecily.

"Why? This is a chance for a poor man like you to have or not have one in your life?

The poor are poor for a reason.

They are lazy, short-sighted.

That's why you have to re-tap your distorted sexual roots in a place like a sanitary home.

At least that's what Cecily thinks, and so will many.

"Marquis Elakis... Master Krono owes me a favor for taking care of my job. You can't betray someone who just met me once."

Besides, Verna adds:

"I don't like it when you use me as a pretext to run away."

"Are you trying to insult me, with a poor attitude? Undo it!"

"Uh, here."

Verna got out of bed and fisted.

"Motivated, Temehe?

"Ha, I'll tell you what happens when the poverty affair strikes the aristocracy!

"Superior, you bitch!

Quick to say, Verna came in with her fist up.

It is slow enough because of the effects of squatting and arm-busting that it remains.

I'll tell you about myself, Cecily fisted on the spot.

Verna fists out at Cecily's face.

Cecily bowed herself and clenched Verna's fist.

If I could have made the original move, I could have dived through Verna's attack and slapped my fist in as it was, but my tired body doesn't follow Cecily's image.

With teeth bitten by a dull body reaction, Cecily taps her fist into Verna's flank in an arc-drawing orbit.

Verna's face distorts in agony.

But that's all.

Were you not powerful in your fists because of fatigue, or are you sturdy in Verna?

If not with one shot, and the next moment Cecily slapped her fist into Verna's dovetail, an impact ran on her shoulder.

Verna waved her fist down.

Cecily cruises whether we should distance ourselves or stop and meet.

"What's up, nobleman?

"... I've made up my mind"

When Cecily shook up her fist, Verna strayed from her upper body.

Without even knowing it was a feint.

Kicking the floor, Cecily hits Verna to collapse.

I'm not going to fall with you.

No, I didn't.

It was at the same time that Cecily felt a severe pain in her head and the floor approached.

Verna was in pain... maybe she was after him... but she grabbed Cecily's hair.

I had enough time to understand that.

The two of us fall to the floor.

Cecily's up there, Verna's down there.

In this situation, those on top take an overwhelming advantage.

"... this, you coward!

"Are there cowards and shit in the fight!

Guigh Verna pulls Cecily's hair aside.

A strange noise came from his neck, but Cecily waved her fist down Verna's face without worrying.

"Kuh, the power of my arm!

"The excuse is, don't listen!

Cecily and Verna beat each other to the best of their ability that day.

"... less than these featherworms together"

When Cecily arrived at the rendezvous point trying to draw her body from the muscle aches caused by squatting and ambushing her arms, the damage caused by fights and the fatigue caused by lack of sleep, Empress Tilia uttered those words the most.

I would have stood up if I had twin elves, but fortunately I don't see the two of them.

"You don't even have the idea of laundry dirty clothes?

Kufu, and Empress Tilia laughed.

"Squat and armrest as punishment."

"" Yes, ma'am ""

Answering in a flat voice, Empress Tilia frowned uncomfortably.

"You have a low voice! Speak out of your belly!

"" Yes! Ma'am! "

Half abandoned and shouted, Empress Tilia nodded satisfied with her educational achievements.

But when Cecily and Verna started squatting, the look on the face of Empress Tilia turned discouraging.

"... but no more,"

"I can't do this anymore."

It was Verna who raised the sound first.

So far, Cecily left room to turn up the sound.

"Empress Tilia, do you both feel like a physical limit?

"Uhm, right"

Empress Tilia nodded with a strange face at Alyssa's pointing.

"Crawl down and polish the floor. Take this hard floor..."

Dundan and Empress Tilia slapped the floor with their feet,

"Think of this hard floor as a chrono and brush it with a big chest and a flat chest without that meaning. If I may say so, I will serve. Yes, serve with your breasts."

Cecily stared at the Empress Tilia. Even with all the abomination she deserves, Empress Tilia is proud as if she is being praised.

"Are those breasts decorative?

"... cum"

Biting his back teeth tight, Cecily crawled on all fours, poking her ass up and rubbing her chest against the floor.

"Well, it must be something like this. Wash your clothes properly tomorrow."

"" Yes, ma'am!

Seeing Empress Tilia and Alyssa leave, Cecily and Verna collapsed on the spot.

I don't feel my lower back because I've been in a position to stick my butt up for over half a day.

"If you work normally, it won't take this long."

Crawling over to a nearby wall, Verna stood up relying on the wall.

Cecily stays seated on the floor and drops off Verna.

We just had a fight last night, and there's no way we can act together.

That said, I can't sit around forever.

Cecily rises up even though she would delude fatigue if she could use kamikaze at a time like this.

Cecily headed to a room in the basement and stopped on the way.

Because I heard that grown-up son and Verna.

That grown-up son should know what Empress Tilia is doing.

No, I'm more than likely to be stopped here and given an unreasonable order.

Because that man is the son of a filthy mercenary.

"... that was tough"

"I really want you to give me a break. Joint and several liability. It doesn't make sense if I work seriously."

But that man's voice reaching Cecily's ear is terribly calm.

You could think of it as inviting me to bed.

I hear that guy likes women.

I guess even Verna like a skinny chicken would like to hold it.

Cecily peered into the two from the corner of the hallway so she couldn't find them.

The man was... talking to Verna with a calm look.

"Just a little more patience."

"Well, yes. I'm eating for you because she's here."

"I'm sorry. I thought it would be better if we were in pairs to make them learn how to be responsible."

"Nothing. It's good."

Verna scratched her head in the light.

"I'm glad Verna makes up for the missing part of Cecily. I think it's a good idea to advise you about your work."

"But hey, he's not going to listen to people. Your pride won't allow you to teach the poor."

"Ha, good, good"

When Verna said, Chrono laughed with pleasure.

What is it, that guy? Such a calm, tender face...... what an unpleasant man, and Cecily bit her back teeth.

When I felt the signs and turned around, Faye stood.

Faye scratched her cheek like she was in trouble.

Cecily leaned over and squeezed the apron dress.

The smell of lavender drifts from the fay.

Perfume or after using a soap with perfume in it.

You just washed it, there's no dirt on the clothes you're wearing.

Cecily's apron dress is dirty and smells terrible like sweat.

"If I say something, how about it?

……

Faye pressed silently as she was distressed by the answer.

"Wouldn't it be nice if I laughed? I'm the one who kept making fun of you as a 'horseshit bitch'! Or is it not even worth mocking at me?

Cecily exploded her emotions and stuffed into Fay.

But Faye stared at Cecily without moving a step.

"... why"

After a painful silence, Faye shrugged small.

"How did this happen?

"I don't know!

Cecily doesn't understand who Fay is talking about.

It could be about Cecily's current situation, or it could be about Cecily's relationship with Fay.

Cecily is a hostage named Behavioral Apprentice.

Besides, he's an unwanted hostage my brother offered to push.

If I could have been asked as a woman, I might still have been able to save her.

If that's the case, I could have looked down on him.

But Cecily was denied her worth as a woman.

face to face, and, moreover, be strongly prepared not to hate to break the negotiations.

Faye is now deputy cavalry captain of the XIII Kingsguard Knights.

Plus, I even hear that guy wants me as a woman.

He opened his crotch to the son of the uprooted to his present position.

No, Faye had as much strength as he could belong to both the First Kingsguard Knights and the Second Kingsguard Knights, who are regarded as the most elite of the Kingsguard Knights, as long as he gave them a place to play.

"I'm leaving now."

……

I tried to call it off, but no word came out to call Faye off.

Cecily clenched her fist.

The back of my eye is paralyzed.

When I opened my mouth, I was going to cry out.

Back in the basement room, the soup was placed just like yesterday.

Verna didn't get her hands on the dish, she sat in the chair.

"That was late. Well, sit down."

……

Were you glad you talked to that guy, Verna was in such a good mood to cause Cecily.

"Yeah, well, what is it? It wasn't me, it was me."

……

Cecily sips the soup silently and carries a thousand slices of bread in her mouth with her fingers.

"No, you know... work a little more efficiently, don't you? If you're not used to it, I'll tell you all about it."

"Would you shut up for a second?

"Oh, shut up."

Finish your meal.

Soon there was a large tarai and water bottle in one corner of the room.

Now you'll tell me to wash my clothes.

"Hey, it's a continuation of the conversation."

"Please don't stop me. I'm tired today."

I want to wash my clothes and sleep quickly.

Cecily takes off her apron dress and throws it to bed.

Transfer the water from the water bottle to Tarai and throw in the apron dress.

"No, no, he said it had to be now. You can wash your clothes if you want."

"Would you be quiet?

Cecily said, Verna frowned uncomfortably.

"I stopped it! Master Krono says," I thought I'd take care of you. "

"I didn't ask you to take care of me!

"Oh, my God! I don't know anything about you!

When she threw up, Verna lay down in bed.

All I'm saying is I don't want to talk to you anymore. Turn your back.

Cecily rounded her back and washed her apron dress.

He taught me how to wash it in the sitting class, but is there a trick, washing the dough to rub it together doesn't remove any dirt at all.

As it is, I will still be forced to squat and stand up tomorrow.

The haste, the frustration, the misery solicits.

Somewhat dirty to the level of better, Cecily dived into bed, killed her voice and cried.

The next day, Cecily looked at the apron dress and opened her eyes.

The apron dress was stained.

Reflectively looking to the side, Verna had a grumpy look on her face.

"... what the hell"

"I won't thank you."

Verna punches one tongue.

"I didn't do it because I wanted to thank you. It's good. If you can't do one laundry, talk to me. Dirt didn't come off."

"I washed my clothes exactly as I was taught!

Ha, and Verna laughs.

"That stain won't come off if you just wash it with your hands. I need to use washboard and soap."

"Laundry board?

Looking near Tarai and the water bottle, the plate was placed.

It's a plate with rectangular irregularities.

I don't remember seeing the same thing.

"I didn't tell you that."

"Well, I've only taught you the initial steps. The laundry board seems to have recently started to be used."

Bolivoli and Verna scratched their heads.

"Damn, you don't like it. Maybe it was the waza that didn't leave the washboard and the soap. They tried us. Let's just eat and get to work."

"Oh, I see."

I felt terribly sorry that I couldn't do one wash without helping my younger child even five years old.

Cecily changed into an apron dress and took her seat for breakfast.

Soup and bread, same menu as usual.

Upon finishing the meal and going to the meeting place, the Empress Tilia looked sorry.

Alyssa seems happy somewhere to refrain after Empress Tilia.

When she started working, more and more Empress Tilia looked sorry for her.

Because Verna cautioned faster than Alyssa eared at Empress Tilia.

There were no shards of reluctance, but as far as Alyssa's reaction was concerned, Verna's caution seemed accurate.

"Mmm, boring."

"At the very least, look at the building."

Alyssa embarrasses Empress Tilia for leaking the truth.

"You don't need the Curse Book anymore. I still have half of it."

"It's a pleasure to work with you now."

Mmm, and Empress Tilia pointed her lips dissatisfied.

"From Alyssa's point of view, is that the point?

"I still think training is necessary"

The Empress Tilia gave Alyssa the 'Curse Book'.

I'll take care of the rest.

"To which?

"It's swordsmanship training. I've been hanging out with the two of you and lost my training skills."

Left to say so, Empress Tilia left the room.

"The Empress Tilia has left, but I will strictly supervise her. Work efficiently today so you can have a warm dinner."

"" Yes, Master Instructor!

When Cecily and Verna screamed, Alyssa laughed bitterly.

Efficiently, there was no falsehood in Alyssa's words.

I only worked as a maid for a long time and Alyssa's instructions were accurate.

I would have thrown up one of the defiant dialogues if it was Cecily on the first day, but I could honestly accept Alyssa's instructions and attention because the Empress Tilia was alle.

Also, I'm glad you praise me for a few things.

Take lunch like any other maid and encourage her to work this afternoon.

And in the evening...... the job ends with cleaning the office this evening.

"Sir, I'm here to clean up"

I guess I accepted that I didn't hear back.

Alyssa opens the office door and then enters the room.

Following Verna, when Cecily entered the room, the man was working his way to his desk.

"Good luck"

"Because this is what I do"

Cecily figured out what kind of harassment she would be subjected to, but unexpectedly nothing was done from that man.

However, he didn't talk to Cecily at all, but he talked to Alyssa and Verna about it.

It's depressing how the weather is today, how the Marquis Mansion is doing, how the city is doing, and whether there's anything troubling going on.

Both Alyssa and Verna answer while cleaning.

Though Cecily found it disrespectful to respond while working, even though the new nobleman of the risen... Krono didn't seem to care.

Ask the same question after a while, as I recall, even if they missed the question.

When I spent twice as much time cleaning and trying to leave the other room,

"Oh, Cecily stay here"

was called to a halt.

Cecily confronted Chrono after Alyssa and Verna left.

"... how are things at work?

"White what?"

"Did Tilia fail?

When Cecily threw up, Chrono poked his cheekstick at him like he was bored.

"Dear Hate, you can't break my heart to that extent."

"Sounds like it. I would have appreciated it if you'd run back..."

That's what you meant, and Cecily stared at Chrono.

Perhaps last night's matter was a convenience to make Verna feel at work.

"Honestly, I didn't think I'd make it this far."

"If that's what you're thinking, you should look a little happier."

Cecily returned the irony.

Chrono's words are not a compliment, but a disappointment at his unexpected.

I overturned this man's expectations.

That just makes me feel sunny.

Of course, they'll continue to harass the elephants, but every time you do, you just have to let them down.

"Are you done talking? If you're done, I'm leaving."

"Well, good luck"

Even if they didn't tell me, Cecily turned her back on Chrono.

The next time Chrono opened his mouth was when Cecily hung her hand on the door knob.

"... you'll continue to be inspired by inferiority,"

Cecily stopped moving and looked back slowly.

Just like earlier, Chrono was poking his cheek wand.

"This me is inferior?

The dodgy dodgy and the heart beats like an early bell.

The shock of being hit with a blunt instrument is shaking my head.

"Undo it!

When Cecily screamed, Chrono had an evil grin.

"You don't have to be so messed up... no, I can imagine"

"What?

Bullshit.

This man is about to shake.

Cecily became a former nobleman, a Hamar family maid, and is a former deputy commander of the 12th Kingsguard Knights.

He has mastered both swordsmanship and equestrianism at a high level.

Where do you say you have an element of inferiority?

You should be angry.

We must not allow any more outrage.

Cecily couldn't pronounce herself even though she said so.

Watching.

It is seen.

I'm looking at Cecily with just one eye.

No, they were watching.

Since we first met, Chrono had been watching Cecily.

I was observing.

What were you looking at and what were they looking at?

That's fear.

It's a fear of not knowing what they were looking at.

Chrono gets up and slowly packs his distance from Cecily so as to incite fear.

I can't get my eyes off Chrono.

One step, two steps back, and the wall blocked Cecily's whereabouts.

Cecily reached for the door knob so she could play.

Chrono grabs Cecily's wrist gently.

"No matter how hard you work, no matter how hard you try, you have not failed to make an effort, you have gained strength and achievements there, but you have not reached genius"

"Oh, shut up."

My voice was shaking so miserably.

Zakuzak and Chrono's words become invisible blades and chop Cecily's heart off.

Efforts were made to achieve results.

But to a swordsmanship genius like Faye, it didn't extend to an equestrian genius like my brother.

A wall of talent that can never be crossed, nevertheless, one is asked to achieve what one's position deserves.

"So I ran away before they gave me the rating. What if it's next? I can't. It doesn't make sense to just change places even though you haven't changed."

Chrono's tone was gentle.

But a gentle voice, as if it were a good word, determines Cecily's heart.

I ran away.

Escaped.

Because I realized that I couldn't achieve what I deserved as a deputy.

He escaped both from the twelfth Kingsguard Knights and from Gaul's former presence.

"Then, in a different way? Maybe that, too, but you know that, right? You know that, don't you?

"Get off me!

I tried to shake it off, but Chrono wouldn't let go.

Hand pulled by Chrono, Cecily is pushed against the door.

Cecily leaned down.

I can't keep my eyes peeled.

I was afraid that I would find a decisive breakdown in his eyes.

Now I delude myself.

Chrono pointed to Cecily's heart.

"Whether you go somewhere else, do something different, be noble, or look down on others... you can't run away from inferiority. Because it's me."

That's it. He missed his eyes and was caught by what kept running away.

Chrono took his hand off Cecily's wrist like he had lost interest.

We have to shut that man up.

Kill for mouth sealing? I can't.

If I do that, I'll even lose my honor as a nobleman.

Escape to Viscount Hamal territory? My brother thinks I can't even satisfy the hostages if I run back.

Maybe even what I'm thinking is clear right now.

I was insulting you.

When he was the son of a filthy mercenary, he insulted him as an ordinary man with only the same, no, talent less than himself.

That man is ordinary.

A person who knew the limits of his talents, perhaps as inferior as he was.

That's why I understand Cecily's weakness.

I observe Cecily's behavior and pull out the facts that I had hidden in the depths of my mind against my own experience.

Cecily kept asking herself in bed how, how, how, how, how...

If you say so, that training.

"Yeah?"

Afternoon Tea Party...... I'm just talking about Chrono coming when Tilia is drinking incense tea in the dining room.

I think it can be a habit if you're going out with me, but Chrono has a verse that thinks it's a bad thing to get out of work on the way, and it's not going to happen.

"Oh, what happened to that training?

"The famous' yes'...... well, the story is the original story, but one of the trainers who couldn't stand the training while he was making it comes to his mental abnormality and kills the instructor and then he kills himself ~"

"... Oops! Why don't you just say something important like that!

Unexpectedly, Tilia screamed.

That training method is famous in the world of Crono, because they only hear that they use Baron Crawford's maids as well.

"No, they didn't ask me."

"Who listens in that way of explanation!

Tilia clenched her sword and explored the signs around her.

Hearing is then enhanced with the Kamikaze technique 'Activity'.

Your footsteps are closing in.

One, no, two, and Tilia hands on the sword pattern.

Gachari and the door open, two maids...... Verna and Cecily enter the dining room.

"I'm here to clean it, you've been using it"

"Mr. Verna. That's rude to your husband and wife."

"Oh, wow."

Embarrassed by Cecily in a soft tone, Verna replied as if she had eaten.

"Verna, Verna"

You stopped the slab.

When Tilia made the call, Verna approached with the feeling of disapproval.

"What happened to Cecily?

"You know. I thought I recently started talking to myself... this morning, when I woke up, it was so much. Well, that's good. The job's pretty tight, and if you pay attention, you'll follow it honestly."

Chrono's words weigh heavily on Tilia when he comes to his mental abnormality.

"Ah, Cecily, Cecily?

"What is it, ma'am?

Tilia called on Cecily, touching the pattern of the sword without alarm.

I was wondering if you resented me.

"There's no reason for me to resent your wife. Instead, I appreciate it. You taught me humility with arrogance. I feel reborn. The sun is dazzling."

hands, Cecily glared and narrowed her eyes.

"... Yabeye"

"No, isn't that convenient?

If this is an anomaly, you should welcome it.

Well, Verna sees Cecily with the kind of eyes even bugs see.

"No, no, rather, it's Yabe. I'm sorry to hear that in your head."

"No problem. Viscount Brad Hamal will thank you, maybe."

"I won't, thank you. Where in the world do I have a brother to thank for the unfortunate head of my sister?"

"Think the other way. I'm sorry to hear about Cecily so far, but Cecily is normal now. Even if Viscount Brad Hamal asks me, I'll insist it was like this from the beginning, I am. So you and I don't know. Pierce through. You don't want to lose your job, do you?

"Well, yes, I do. If it gets worse, what are you gonna do?"

"Let's think about that then."

Tilia carried the cup to her mouth with her trembling hands.

"You want a drink, too? Peppermint has a sedative effect."

"Oh, wow."

"Weird wife and Mr. Verna"

Tilia turned away from Cecily laughing at Couscous.

Verna has a sinking look on her face.

"Cecily, hey"

"What is it, sir?

Cecily walks over to Chrono with a soft smile.

That soft smile can't help but make Tilia look like a product of madness.

"You've changed the vibe a little bit, haven't you?

"Yes, thanks to your husband and wife."

Chrono had an evil grin and touched Cecily's ass.

"No, sir."

"Hehe, that's a good response. Why don't you come to my room tonight?

"Chrono!

Bang the desk, Tilia protests.

"Oh, your wife is staring at you with a scary face."

"Yeah, that's scary. But you're coming, aren't you? If you come..."

Cecily turned her ear to Chrono's mouth.

What did you say, Cecily's calm smile froze.

Bash! The sound sounded.

Cecily slapped Chrono on the cheek with her flat hand.

"Ko, you builder! You think you're allowed to do that to me, you filthy mercenary son!

I felt like I heard that sound with Puri ~ Luli.

Cecily looked at Tilia and Verna at first sight.

"Unaccustomed acting, thank you"

"If you know it's an act, let go of that hand!

Apparently, Chrono didn't let go of Cecily's ass when he got slapped.

"Acting?"

When Verna turned her voice upside down, Cecily turned away at first sight.

"Weren't you thinking about strengthening your position by pretending to be submissive? But sweet, sweet as a swing. I'm ready to share my kicked grudge with my children."

As always, Chrono has a small vessel as a person.

"It's unpleasant!

"Ooh, what are you gonna do with your job?"

Verna chases Cecily out of the dining room in a rough foothold.

"Chrono, if Cecily was really going to be sorry, what were you going to do?

"Delicious"

"If I pierced the act, what were you going to do?

"Delicious"

Tilia stared at Chrono wondering which way she had fallen.

I was interested in what Chrono said to Cecily, but Tilia didn't ask.
