Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

"Let's take a break. I'll make some tea."

The educator, a little older than my father, pushed up his glasses with his fingertips and left the room with some pain in the back of his laughing eyes. Waiting for the door to close and close, he pushes himself down on his desk in bad manners.

Prince Wang's education, which began four months ago, does not proceed late. It wasn't impossible, but I couldn't catch up.

"Brother. Mother....."

The two brothers were excellent. A brilliant elder brother who was expected to be the next king, who passed on the blood of his noble grandfather and father beautifully as a wise king, and a second brother who was supposed to be close to his elder brother in both literary and martial arts. Everyone thought that the next kingdom would be a tablet.

--At first, he was the eldest brother of Prince Wang. On the way back from an inspection of the neighboring country, the ship on board was hit by a sudden storm in Stridian territorial waters, which wrecked it after it had grounded. It appears that a rescue effort and search were carried out, but no survivors were seen - the body of his eldest brother was found with his entourage candidate. The first brother's funeral was accompanied by a joint burial of the victims. But most of the victims were empty mourners without even finding their bodies.

Less than two months later, my second brother also left due to an accident. On the way to my eldest brother's grave attendant, I fell horseback and was not dazed. Poorly struck - he took his breath back that day without regaining consciousness.

The death of the second prince, whose passing shocked him, was initially suspected of assassination. However, the results of the rigorous investigation are white. Horseback riding was a sure thing. However, it seems that the sudden death of my brother, whom we had good friends and respected, was endured by even his brave second brother. On the way, I was thinking about my eldest brother, and my attention was distracted. I was surprised to deal with the bird-type beast that crossed the current state, and I was unable to deal with it, so I fell into a horse.

Unhappiness continued. My mother, who had been gracious about the death of the first prince, could not bear the death of the second prince, who had visited her shortly afterwards. Her mother, who was nervous enough not to leave Olivier in case something happened to the last prince, eventually suffered from a terrible depression and was forced to rest in the detached courtyard.

My father spent days dealing with the problems caused by the death of the two princes, arranging for his mother's medical treatment, and staying in the office while he was on official business. From time to time, I was forced to make time to see how things were, but I couldn't spend much time, and there were not many days when I didn't face each other.

Until just a few months ago, I was supposed to be happy surrounded by my proud father, my brothers and my sweet mother.

The death of my two beloved brothers and my mother's heart disease. Prince Wang's education, which had begun while he was unable to accept them, was sufficient to hone the young Olivier's mind and reduce it. Moreover, although I am not going to be incompetent by any means, there are also voices that say that I am not as good as my two brothers and that I do not assert myself as the next king.

No matter how hard he was disciplined as a royal prince, he was still less than ten children. There was no way to remain calm under the gaze of adults.

Heavy. Tough. Sad. I miss you.

"Niisama, Mother...."

Once again, I would like to call for a space where no one is present, but the answer is not coming back.

However, only silence filled the room.

--It wasn't long before Olivier gave her the "good news" of her empty days.

"Brothers?"

"Oh, yeah."

The sudden words from my father, who was finally able to make half a day's leisure, blinked my eyes.

"I was born a little earlier than you, but I'm a brother of the same age. He lived away for a reason, but he also lost his mother and is now alone. I want to take this opportunity."

Looks like my brother had another one on himself. Your mother is a different brother of your age. It wasn't that I didn't think about the meaning, but such a pleasant pleasure prevailed. It's kind of a pleasure to have more children in the castle. Those who remained in the castle as brothers' friends and close associates were much closer than other adults, but they were almost adults and somehow alienated.

--That's how the boy came to the castle.

Alexei.

Even though he was a brother, he didn't look anything alike. But the color of the eyes is the same child. I hid in my father's shadow and was kind of nervous, but my father seemed to be just as awkward as he was for some reason. "Nice to meet you" with Alexei. I wonder what happened to my father, who always said that the first thing was important.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Olivier. Call me Olivier. Nice to meet you."

I will not fail. At first, I thought I'd give you a court-style greeting. But I heard you grew up in Ichii, so it might be better to be more ordinary. I was right to name it while holding out my hand for a handshake.

"... nice to meet you. I'm Alexei. Everyone calls me Alec."

Alexei looked a little relieved and tended to stretch out her hand without hesitation. Grasp back the hand. My hands, the size of my own, were nervous and a little sweaty.

"- So, what do we play with?

She laughed at Alexei.

Eh?

My father sounded surprised, but Brayzak, his second brother's best friend, told me that it would be a good idea to come in from play at first. This also seemed to be the correct answer. Alexei's hard expression made her smile for the first time.

It was the moment when bright colors returned to the world that had faded since my brothers disappeared.

I missed seeing my mother, whose medical condition was unfavourable. But Alexei put up with it so I could put up with it myself.... after all, I was able to reunite with my mother at the end of the day.

I could have studied harder with Alexei. Alexei's bad court etiquette helped him teach. I sneaked out between classes and explored the castle.

I can do all the things I couldn't do with my younger brother. Unfortunately, the bedroom was different, but I said a little bit of selfishness so that I could eat, bathe and study together. It was fun. I never thought it would be so fun to have a brother the same age.

By the end of the year, Alexei had become part of the royal family. He, a hard-working man, said he worked very hard to keep up with his siblings of his age. I was very happy about that.

Next King and Assistant Candidate. By the time it was several years old, I was beginning to be told that way.

--But I didn't think that would happen.

"- Oh, my lord. It's a good time for you to play with a woman from such a high place at a time when your Majesty has fallen."

"Oh, my God. That's what I thought."

Days when he fell to death and illness and stood busy taking over his father's administration for almost no life. With the help of my father's closest relatives, who were still at the working age, I managed to do politics.

I had Alexei take a break first.

A courtyard for short breaks and distractions.

The words were polite, but the dialogue, which contained disgust and contempt, stopped me unexpectedly.

Multiple signs across the beautiful hedge. Let them run their gaze next to each other. The shy Kintetsu Knight is making the same painful expression as herself.

"--Son of the Crown Prince."

"Is it the children of the Third Prince who stick to Alexei?"

When the king fell and found out that it was not the longest, the nobles in the court split in two. Prince Wang's faction, which consists mainly of noble families that produce proximity and high-ranking bureaucrats from generation to generation, and Third Prince's faction, which is not a high-ranking official but still produces famous nobles and emerging nobles from generation to generation. At first glance, it seemed like a struggle between conservatives and reformists, but the reality was very vivid and complicated.

The nobility of the Lord, who was even a close relative of the Crown Prince, is simply called that for convenience, but solemnly performs day-to-day affairs. Neglecting the bastard prince and shouting out loudly the possibility of seizure of the throne, and actively trying to eliminate him, it is the owners of old ideas who hate mixed things (...) and the young new king who will take office in the near future who are trying to show loyalty in an incorrect way. I see a clear ambition to take this opportunity to incorporate Prince Wang.

In contrast, the Third Prince is an aristocrat who continues to be uncomfortable with his ancestors occupying most of the seats of close associates and high-ranking bureaucrats in certain aristocracies, or an emerging aristocracy who somehow wants to get a good position and foil his personality. They are afraid of the bias of power, but they are the ones whose eyes are dazzled by it. It is mainly a noble family with a proper family history but no key position. After the death of the king with a small life expectancy, the prince of the weak bastard with no backing is taken over as a puppet, and the palace is plotted not to master it.

Although there was no room to enter after a stable reign with the ancients, the death of two excellent princes and the collapse of the queen followed by the fall of the king, who had just passed forty years, and had almost no life left. And the princes of the crown prince and bastard before they were adults were left behind. It would be a great opportunity to get in.

However, the bond between the two princes, which was festivaled to the flag of the opposing faction, was harder than the surroundings thought, and above all, the third prince himself, who should be the flag of the third prince, was somehow preventing the King's prince from developing into a bloody situation.

However, it was also a matter of earliest time. He began to boil his business into the bond between the two who could not be cut, or somehow to tear them apart.

After the long days when the king could sleep on the floor, Alexei rubbed overtly, and more and more people breathed Olivier's slander into the distance. Even though the prince couldn't do it, if it was a bastard prince, it would be within his reach, and even in the palace, the daughters of less conspicuous houses and lower-ranking aristocracy began to flock. And he glanced at Alexei's hand and foot, and began to notice the crown prince who was exposed to the chatter that he called "the word".

Although the narrow shoulders and hard expressions stand out as the city rises, and the atmosphere is difficult to get close to, Alexei's original heart is gentle and delicate. As I watched this unfortunate dispute over succession to the throne, I was exhausted.

She seems to be hiding it, but she seems to be suffering from mental fatigue or poor physical condition for now. That's why I had him take a break first. It was only a few minutes ago that I left saying, "It's going to hit the outside wind a bit."

"What are you doing?"

When they appeared from the hedge, they glanced straight at us. Alexei, who was surrounded by them, then looks back with a relief. The movement is so slow that they can't help it.

"His Royal Highness Prince Wang......"

The two young men of the Crown Prince laughed to make amends.

"I was just saying a few words to His Highness Alexei, who works for women at a time like this."

"I don't understand women's play!

In the words of the young man, one of the Third Prince's daughters now protested.

"I was just giving it to you because it seemed bad."

"Absolutely. I want you to stop accusing me."

"... it's true that playing with women is a misunderstanding. They're just following us on their own. I said there's no need to embrace me."

They glanced at each other, and Alexei threw up tired. The complexion is still not good. We need to get him to rest in a quiet place.

"- What do you mean? I know best what Alec is like as a brother than any of you. If you're not such a fool to hang out with women at a time like this, you don't like women enough to be entangled by a careless lady who sprinkles the fragrance of perfume over time and gets close to the evil one."

The other day, the Third Prince's daughter was just disposed of trying to create a fait accompli and fit in the princess. With strategy, Alexei was trapped in a secret room with the girl, exposed to unwanted nudity, and vomited on the spot. Alexei was completely mistrustful of women because of this incident.

In the first place, Alexei has a daughter with heart. It seemed to be a lot of concern only for the two elderly countess ladies, but it was also a source of some concern. The Countess herself was a solid neutral who did not belong to either, but the girl had something to dream of. It's like you're drunk somewhere without feet on the ground.

(as long as it's hard to get over it)

They were surrounded by Alexei by harsh bullets from the Crown Prince. Succeed words to fold them in silence.

"Alec has reached his seat with a bloody effort. It is embarrassing that a person who abandons his duties and works in the power struggle should say words and embrace him. Above all, only a very limited number of people, such as royalty and their close associates, are permitted to enter this area. Regardless of what you saw, you entered this place. [M] Tell me, with whose permission are you here?"

Young people wearing mid-level officers' uniforms and daughters dressed as maids and maids. There is still time until the set break. It is obvious that he is away from his position.

And this is a place where some of the courtyards in the castle are extremely private. It was a courtyard for the royal family. A place where none of them can enter.

"Excuse me."

The blistering anger seems to have been enough to frighten them. The Prince Wang's youths thanked him in all shapes and left, and the children of the Third Prince seemed to be a bit of a shame, but they withdrew graciously.

(― ― Discipline in the castle is beginning to disturb. It's not a good trend.)

If you're a high-ranking bureaucrat or a high-ranking aristocrat, you can't let your middle-class or lower-ranking aristocrats or newcomers walk into the royal private space with their cheerful faces. The Knights of the Kintetsu and castle servants are also loose. There was a need for strict admonition. Besides, we need to tighten up the security in the castle once more. In case you get into or out of the royal quarters.

"Alec, if you want to rest, you should go back to your room. I'll call people when it's time."

"... ahh, I will."

Alexei, staring at the direction where the troublemaker had left, stepped forward to return to his private room when he laughed powerlessly.

Alec!

"Your Highness!"

The two of them, the Kintetsu Knight and the Kintetsu Knight, aggressively supported their wobbly bodies.

"... I'm sorry, I feel dizzy."

He told him to mend it, but he put his hand on his neck. It's not very expensive, but I have a fever. His pulse is fast and weak. Her face is pale, her fingertips are white and discolored, and her breathing is light. She wasn't feeling any better than she thought.

"Let's go back to the room. That's enough for today."

But...

"It's okay. If I fall to you after my father, I will..."

Horrible, just in case. I don't want to lose anyone in my family anymore. It's about tide time. Alexei began to modulate his body. - We have to make a decision.

"... okay. Let me do that."

Alexei followed Olivier's heart very carefully. He instructed the Knights of Kintetsu to stand by and run ahead, and he went to his private room with his help to Alexei, who was unconscious at his feet.

"I tend to be mentally weak. You are beginning to develop physical symptoms from mental fatigue. Not in very good condition. You should rest if you can. It's a difficult time."

Needless to say, Olivier frowned on the diagnosis of a waitress who smelled the same symptoms as her mother.

I pay the waiter back. I wanted to talk to you a little bit.

But Alexei, lying on the bunk, opened his mouth before we cut it out.

"--I 'm leaving the castle."

It was exactly what I was going to propose. But when he told it from his own mouth, his chest hurt badly.

I don't really want you to go. I wanted you to stay with me and support me. Forever and ever. You are only two brothers who have divided their blood. We will continue to support each other and live together. What's wrong with wishing that?

"... I've been thinking about this for a long time. I wanted to be by your side, if I could, and be of any help. But instead of being useful, I'm gonna pull your leg."

Words that are said indifferently are, however, very heavy.

A dispute over succession to the throne arose because of my presence. He said that he did not want to cast a dark shadow over the country or the castle and the new reign that was coming soon.

"I've decided how to shake myself after I leave the castle. I was also consulting with Mr Blaizac. I want to return to Ichii and be an adventurer, just like him. If the Knights take on the job, it will help the country and the people a little."

During his younger brother's life, Blaisak Faucher, who was still a boy, was already making his name as a master swordsman. He, who was to serve his eldest brother as a military officer with his second brother, had given up the throne of the next Duke to his half-brother, who was the son of his father's first-wife, and went down to Ichii some time after his second brother's death. The main reason seems to be that the branch has neglected to be a bastard, but I think that the direct cut is the loss of the master and best friend to serve at the same time.

Alexei and I were quite apart, but Alexei, in a situation similar to his, seemed quite comfortable with Blaisak. I knew he was secretly sending letters after he went down to the city well, but I didn't know he was talking that far.

--I don't want you to go. Just one brother. A half-brother like a best friend. Most trustworthy loyalists.

But as it stands - eventually, you'll see blood. Alexei's blood, not herself or anyone else.

There is a fairly radical group in the relatively moderate crowd of Crown Princes. That was the case with the young people earlier. A group of young people trying to demonstrate loyalty in a wrong way. Without doubting that their way was for the Prince, they shouted loudly for the elimination of "a lowly bastard prince aiming to usurp the throne". Some of them directly prosecuted Olivier for Alexei's deportation. Though the conscientiousness was strong, I assumed that Olivier was sheltering Alexei because of her kindness and did not listen at all.

They are drunk. To ourselves who can speak without cowardice against royalty. To ourselves who are going to take on villains for the young new king. The cleanliness of youth and the enlarged sense of justice are guiding them in the wrong direction. I didn't even say the word "assassination," but eventually I was in a situation where I could move on to execution.

I wanted Alexei to be by my side. But if the two brothers die, and his mother dies, and if he loses his father, who will be called to God in the near future, he will be the only family with blood. I didn't want to lose just one brother. I didn't have to be around to lose him, and I wanted him to live safely, no matter where he was.

I would have never been involved in such a bloody struggle, and I would have lived more freely. I brought him into a place like this for nothing. I'm the one who got involved.

So you have to make a decision. We have to let him go for the good of our country and for Alexei's sake.

"... okay. I'll talk to my father."

The words that were dropped to squeeze out trembled slightly.

--The decision made by the two princes was accepted by the king. I chose someone I could trust especially close to me, and I was prepared to let Alexei escape safely.

Fradrik Fauchel took on the main role. He acts as a liaison with his son, Blaisak, and sets specific dates.

Alexei was supposed to participate in politics on the surface, but he was prepared to leave as much as he could.

And then...

One early summer night. A time when people have been resting for a long time.

"Cheer up. Send me a letter occasionally. If you like it, I'd be more than happy if you came to see me."

"I don't mind writing, but it may be difficult for me to come to see you. But if you need anything, just let me know. Then I'll make sure to run."

"Thank you, but I'll do my best. Good luck, I'll make you a comfortable place someday. So come back then. Make yourself a fine adventurer."

Two eyes intertwined. The blue-colored eyes swayed as proof of the siblings who separated blood.

"Oh, I promise."

Promise.

Fist together, finished the vows and farewell rituals - and Alexei left.

Just one brother. My dear best friend. The years we spent together were short but intense and irreplaceable. I am now a prince because I was with him.

The word "don't leave" was swallowed up already. Gives the words of in his heart to his back, which disappears into the darkness.

Thank you. I'm sorry. Please, be safe.

--Wish you happiness on that path.

― ― You're gone.

Ah.

Fradrik Faucher walked quietly to the young master, distancing himself from breaking up. Find something flowing in his cheeks - pretend not to have seen it, and gently look in the direction Alexei left. Beyond the walls, Blazerk was supposed to be waiting to guide him.

"Master Fradrik"

"What?"

"Please make sure he doesn't die of 'accidents' or 'sudden illnesses' on his journey by mistake."

"Thank you. Everything is fine."

Alexei is headed to his hometown of Tris. His origins were cleverly concealed by the present king, Robert, from his place of birth to his mother and his family. Very little is known about the facts, including Olivier. There is no leakage even if it is wrong.

Besides, my child Blaisak is a man of good faith, both at arm's length and on the inside. And one of Blaizac's best friends is the young Triswal border master who reigns over his land. I'm sure they'll take good care of it in case anything goes wrong.

- I asked His Highness, Brayzak.

The exchange of letters called out to my son, who had not seen his face for so long.

"Now, go back and rest. Tomorrow you'll be busier than ever."

As soon as the Third Prince's run becomes bright, the castle will surely be in a mess. We must deal with the various problems that arise as a result. There are a lot of things to do.

"... oh, I see."

Looking back, Olivier once again gazed at the walls - and for a moment he turned his heel and walked out.

There were no tears on his face anymore.

The following morning, when the Third Prince Alexei Frenvali Strididia was known to have disappeared, there was a violent earthquake in the castle.

Few of them stopped at Prince Wang and questioned the whereabouts of the Third Prince directly, but Olivier and all of his closest associates kept their mouths shut. Prince Wang smiled quietly, but there was no smile in his purple eyes, and he had a cold light, and he said, "He has traveled. No more prying," he replied.

In this regard, among the castle servants, in addition to the foreign flight theory and sudden foreign lobbying theory, there were also rumours of deportation and assassination by the Crown Prince.

For some time now, this topic was exhausted, but a few weeks later, after the collapse of King Robert Valenti Stridia and the grand funeral of the nation, fewer people gradually spoke - and two months later, by the time King Prince Olivier Felsen Stridia took office as the new king, few had touched on the missing third prince topic.

It was said that the shift to a new system and the subsequent ceremony were extremely busy, but one of the reasons was that the Third Prince who lost his flag and lost momentum ran off to get a new destination.

Many of the Crown Princes, who were mostly moderate and sympathetic to the Third Prince, the leader of the rival faction, as well as the neutrals and the Third Prince, who truly thought of the country but were recognized as the late choice, inherited their predecessor-era positions. Those who were judged competent, regardless of the original faction, were given suitable positions.

However, many of the extremists and third princes of the Crown Prince will be driven away from their jobs and work in remote areas. Of course, young children are no exception.

"Neither rape nor foolishness is needed for the rest of the world. All I want is a true loyalist who thinks of this country."

There is no need for masters and innocents to despise the kingdom and people to be defended by the lust for power and the desire for birth. The words spoken by a slightly sixteen-year-old new king are too famous for those who grasp the thick face.

The kingdom of Stridia, led by the royal family, which drew the blood of the royal family for generations, was peaceful and loving, and poured its heart of mercy into the country and the people.

But it was also characteristic of those who inherited this blood to have a harsh side that would never be relentless and severe if they despised what they loved because of the depth of their love. A fool who could not think of it was acquitted after the end of this inheritance dispute.

--And...

Regarding the daughter of one of the Vicomtes, who was allegedly unjustifiably close to the missing Third Prince, she was dismissed from her post as a maid and returned to the Territory. The Vicomte was allowed to remain in office on condition that he would never let his daughter enter King's Landing for life and would never mention the name of the Third Prince and his connections again.

The young lady, who was virtually expelled from the King's Landing, was handed over to the new King personally upon dismissal, giving him a harsh "farewell" word.

The reason for this is that when secretly told of his intention to run away at his last encounter with the Third Prince, he released a deadly rumor that he should not say the most, both physically and mentally, was weak, and caused deep wounds that could not be healed in his heart - these are not very well known facts.
