Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

The first time I saw him was when I was fourteen and he was twelve.

At that time, I worked as a maid of the castle. Even though I am a maid... it is not a great service to the soothing. I was the young lady of the Vicomte and the lowest of the maids. The main holding place is the costume room, which is not like letting me choose your costume, shoes, etc., but to help the maid a little higher than me in managing the costume, cleaning the room, and other miscellaneous use.

The maid of the castle. For a good daughter, it is not only a way to get a job, but also a way to find a behavioral apprentice and a good bride-to-be. I was one of those girls who climbed the castle in search of good luck.

However, there were many highly qualified and beautiful commanders working in the castle, so no one like me who grew up in the countryside would ever meet a daughter of the same size in plain language.

However, I wasn't in such a hurry. Two years after I went up to the castle, my mother worried about my daughters who had no floating stories, but my father told me that it was okay not to hurry while laughing bitterly. If you were good, I would be willing to marry a merchant or a rich man, and I fully understood my own impossible appearance. And even if you don't get lucky, if you keep serving the castle like this, you can eat enough without bothering your parents.

I spent my days thinking that way, and one day - I met him.

On that day, I was given a half-day off. I was able to afford to work, so I was able to go back to work until noon.

On the way back to the room, I saw you chatting on the edge of the terrace leading to the courtyard. This is a shadow of pillars and gardens that support the terrace roof and is a great place to hide and chat.

--- Hide and chat. Speaking in private, it may still sound good, but I don't think it's very good to talk in a place like this away from the public.

It's a deal.

"No matter how many princes you say, I'm sorry to hear that, Alexei."

His Highness Alexei, the bastard prince who was summoned to the castle last year. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Second Prince went into hiding one after the other and were suddenly summoned as future close associates to his young successor, His Highness Olivier.

But because of their vague origins, they were placed in a very delicate position. Moreover, since his birth was slightly earlier than that of His Highness Olivier, the order of succession was lower but higher as a prince than that of His Highness Olivier. Some people didn't think it was too good.

After all, I have no idea what you are. [M] That's why there were some heartless voices about which prostitute gave birth.

"Yes, a child of a woman who doesn't know the bones of any horse like that would be horrible."

"Does anyone know who your mother is?

"As you know, Your Majesty."

"But you must be the kind of woman who wants to hide it from the public."

These seniors were especially poor among the maids. I behave happily in front of the blind master, but my attitude changes suddenly when I'm dealing with someone I don't like or like right now. I don't think you personally noticed, but no matter how you take care of it, the inferiority of your heart really shows up in your expression - especially in your eyes. That's why, despite their impeccable stature and appearance, they will always remain unfavourable.

(... I wonder if Olivier and Alexei are a little old for senpai anyway.)

Both princes are twelve years old. Some seniors are too old to reach at the age of 20.

Because they didn't want to be too involved, when they gently greeted each other and walked through the side - hedges on the other side, senpai saw a chestnut-haired boy standing in the shadow and out of sight.

(That's....)

Purple blue eyes peeking from the chestnut-haired forehair that hangs slightly longer. Besides, I just summoned the costume I was given to you by a servant with the Third Prince in the morning...

(His Highness Alexei)

His Highness chewed his lips as he listened to his senpai's conversation in the shadows. Even with his pale face, but his purple blue eyes were filled with horrible fierceness - it wasn't exactly the look of a twelve boys.

I remembered what my father said.

The royals are calm and affectionate, but never let it down. You have a terribly harsh side to your heart's content. There are many who have forgotten it, despised it, touched it upside down and disposed of it. "

Neither Alexei nor His Majesty nor Olivier had her hair or face, but her eyes were equally beautiful in purple and blue. I'm sure your eyes are very similar to those of the two of you when you get angry.

What should I do, leave this place as if I hadn't seen it, or should I speak up? While I was on tour, His Highness turned his gaze toward us. He opened his eyes surprisingly and then turned his eyes slightly awkward.

Your Highness would really like to leave this place, but if you move from there, he will find you soon. If you leave now - I'm sure you'll feel even more uncomfortable because you didn't always come with me, Lord Olivier, or anyone with you. It seems that some people despise the bastard prince and bathe in chatter at the face while being subordinate. Especially since His Highness Alexei had a good understanding of his position, he was the one who kept quiet and listened to whatever words might be spoken. So I guess it's a respite.

While we were standing together, fortunately, senpai was found in the maid's head, scolded, and taken somewhere. After they disappeared, they unexpectedly looked at each other - perhaps the tension had eased, and the gloomy tears had disappeared from their beautiful eyes.

"... ah"

His Highness wiped his eyes in a hurry, but seemed to be overflowing from behind.

It has been more than three years since it was summoned to the castle. I grew up in Ichii, but despite all my hard work and all I could do was read and write calculations, I was enthusiastic about studying, etiquette and martial arts, and now I'm a fine royal family.

Nevertheless, His Highness is still twelve years old. No matter how royal you may be, you are not old enough to be calm with the heartless words of the elderly.

Still, I felt terribly painful and tormented when I was desperately wiping my tears without showing a different appearance. I think it would have been quite disrespectful to think that your appearance reminds me of my younger brother, who is just the same age as His Highness, who is making daily efforts to become the next lord of the Vicomte family, but I held his head at a distance.

"... nobody's seen it. So please cry while you still can. It'll be a little easier if you cry and spit it out."

His Highness was stretching his body in my arms, but his words loosened his shoulders. And then...

"... ufu, ku..."

I was quietly and gently tapping the back of His Majesty's body, which was still young, swallowing his thin shoulders trembling, until he stopped crying. Forgive the little one.

--Did you calm down after a while, Your Highness let go gently. My eyes became red and swollen, but it still seemed to be quite refreshing.

"... I'm sorry. I showed you something ugly. Regardless of who I was, my mother and father were despised and I couldn't stand it very much."

His Highness said with a slightly lower voice just changed his voice. No one will feel uncomfortable when they say bad things about their parents and brothers.

"But it didn't get too high, and His Highness stayed put. I think you're doing great."

There are people in the world who do only minor things, but also do things that are just a shield. However, His Highness was trying to remain calm without hitting on them. Perhaps because of the weakness of your position, you tried to protect your royal readiness to remain calm at all times.

When I said that, His Highness opened his eyes to surprise, and then he smiled slightly.

--This is the beginning of our relationship with that person.

After this incident, His Highness occasionally found me and called me. Having said that, we did not consider each other's positions, or even look at them in public places, but I still feel that you admire them from their appearance, and I feel a pleasant feeling.

Because she died when she was a child, perhaps it was to fill such a loneliness. At first, she seemed to think it was like a replacement for her sister. I think I felt like I had another little brother.

Sometimes when it was hard, I kept my face in my chest and cried. Olivier seemed to be very friendly with him, but there were still times when men would not cry out to each other because of their shyness. At such times, I often quietly stood by and listened to you.

--But then, one year later, two years later, when I was sixteen, and he counted fourteen years old, and his back grew considerably, and I was completely overlooked, the relationship became between lovers, not pseudo-siblings.

By this time, His Highness was able to move freely to a certain extent, and often met at night, avoiding sight. And then one day - I finally exchanged lipsticks. I remember being gently hugged by His Highness and having my mouth drop so gentle as to stack, but enjoying the soft feeling of my lips for a long time, made me feel like ascending to heaven.

"Call me Alec when you're alone. I don't need a title, Levi."

His Highness called me by my name Revecca for the first time. Besides, I told you to call yourself by your nickname.

"- Yes, I'm glad. Alec"

His Highness, who usually had a slightly stiff expression, always had a smile on his face at this time, and then tried again.

― ― I think I was the happiest at this time.

No, if I had stayed pure when I was a girl, if I hadn't been such a stupid daughter or still be...

Soon after he and His Highness Olivier turned fifteen, His Majesty fell down. It seems that I've been feeling bad for a while, but I suddenly fell down while on duty and was able to sleep on the floor.

He suffered from death and illness and, in the opinion of the waiter, had it for a year.

With this hanging, the castle gradually became rough. The atmosphere in the castle was somewhat unstable because the royal obituaries of the two princes above him were young and hidden, and the queen was also collapsed for a very short period of time. I think there were enough elements in there that caused the equilibrium to collapse by some kind of cut.

His Royal Highness Olivier had already been crowned Prince Tachibana and had been designated as the next King, but a faction of dissidents took advantage of it to take action.

A power struggle divided between the Crown Princes and the Third Princes - a dispute over succession to the throne - broke out.

Nevertheless, it seems that the two of them, who were sacrificed to the flags of the two factions, were so close that they could not be cut off. The third prince, His Royal Highness Alexei, himself said that he was a crown prince, so things didn't go as far as I thought.

However, if there is a problem - the younger members of each faction competed fiercely with each other. The bloodthirsty people who were tired of the long and smooth times were fascinated by the throne inheritance struggle that came down here and flooded. The Crown Prince cried out loudly for the importance of the royal lineage and its maintenance, while the Third Prince cried out enthusiastically for a new wind in politics and a revolution.

His Highness Alexei was the first victim of this inheritance struggle. Both factions persisted.

Prince Wang scolded me as a lowly bastard who could not express his position, and the Third Prince demanded that the right to inherit was superior to Prince Wang because the sequence of princes was higher than that of Prince Wang. He despised my dear brother, "Without my brother and prince, I would not be worthy of the throne for the weak who did not receive proper education from Prince Wang."

Besides, the two of you have not yet been given a fiancé, so this has also become a fire. The lady who was aiming for the Queen's throne began to flock openly. In particular, His Highness Alexei was unexpectedly more prominent.

Whatever you think, it is not legitimate for His Royal Highness Prince Wang to remain in power. His Highness Prince Alexei was a brother and brother to His Royal Highness Prince, and he was a very good man, so I will serve him as a close friend. Even if you maintain your position as a royal family, if you become a queen, you will be welcomed as a royal family, and even if you are demoted, you will probably be awarded the throne from the status of king brother, so your wife is the Duchess.

And if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is abandoned and Alexei takes office in the unlikely event of a victory over the inheritance dispute, the queen will be the queen, so it is advantageous no matter how she falls.

It made sense that many unmarried daughters would flock to His Highness Alexei. Unlike you, many of the ladies were moving with more emphasis on who was more valuable as a husband than breaking up with a faction.

Moreover, because of his status as an illegitimate son, His Highness Alexei was very popular with the daughters of houses with poor history and format, even those of the upper aristocracy. Even if it wasn't commensurate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, if it were a bastard prince, it might be within his reach - that's what many people thought.

Speaking of which, I tried not to put it on the surface of my position, but I was proud of the royal patronage and began to look at my values in error and have a completely uplifting idea.

Relations with His Highness Alexei continued unchanged. It wasn't until we had a physical relationship, but it was deep enough to overlap the evening encounters, exchange rich mouths, and play with each other's bodies.

Therefore, I believed that my future was promised and that my position as a princess at the earliest was certain.

Perhaps His Highness was also willing to do so because of his attitude. However, in view of your position as bastard and my status as a lower aristocrat, I never made it public. I was very careful not to be reminded of my relationship with the surroundings even when I called you at the encounter. I think it would be harmful to me if the two of us became brighter before we were appointed fiancées.

Even if you were a bastard, if you were a prince and your queen, you would have more proper status, so you could crush as many as you wanted to when you were a lady in the Vicomte's house.

However, I was still dissatisfied that you had not designated me as your fiancée. If you had welcomed me as your fiancée and published it, I wouldn't have been forced to flock to desperate ladies to sell yourself in like that, or bare to create a fait accompli. Besides, if you were my fiancée, you would be strictly protected, so I thought you would do much less harm to me than you think.

By the time His Majesty had been in bed for a year, most of his administration had already been handed over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. At this time, although His Highness Alexei also sent busy days as an aide to His Royal Highness Prince Wang and occasionally secretly sent letters whispering love, the encounter with me was completely interrupted.

How anxious I was in the meantime. If you are abandoned like this, and your friendship with other ladies with better conditions is summarized. If I thought so, I felt like I couldn't stay, whether I was there or not.

Of course, I know that there is no room for such a celebration when His Majesty falls and whispers that the day of the collapse is near. However, I was afraid at that time - that if His Majesty had gone into hiding sooner, my friendship with His Majesty Alexei would have ended sooner.

In spite of such a difficult time, I had so far been dyed with stupid and thoughtful thoughts. Escaped from the monumental status of maid of the castle and daughter of the Vicomte, she remembered that a brilliant future as a princess or duchess was certain.

― ― I dreamed of a success story like that in a goga where a rural daughter was greeted by a prince and became a princess. I was turned into too stupid a daughter.

That's why I had such a tragedy.

I was so stupid that I couldn't regret it that I hurt him so badly, so deep and so deep that I couldn't get him back.
