Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

He shows me how he feels.

He sees himself as he is.

I always began to love him like that.

And he also said, "You look beautiful in a careless, decorative nature." I thought it was probably a love affair.

So when he had grown up one step ahead of the other and reached the age of Dubutuan himself, he thought he would reveal his thoughts.

--But...

"... because I'm not a pure Stridian. I can't be with the woman I like because of the dirty blood that's not innocent."

That day I was so rejected before I could say what I wanted.

Even though he had succeeded to the throne, he was still a young daughter, and I didn't know what to say to him, who had been badly injured.

--A bitter memory of the day I broke up.

As you are, as you are. Draw what you feel as it is.

For Annelier, who had made it a creed of creation, the one who tried to twist it was equal to the enemy.

And while being chosen as the "next main player", he didn't play that role, and he didn't have the initiative to pretend to be obedient and just flirt, and he hated people with a strong power orientation who tried to twist and guide things in a direction convenient to him.

Most of the children my father brought with him since he was seven years old called "people to play with" were such dislikes.

I'm sure they've been told by their parents. I want you to take the mood of the next Master and nod in, and be a puppet when you're young.

However, Annelier has been educated mainly as a child since childhood. I understood exactly what it meant to be given to "people to play with". This is like a ritual for the next Lord of the Rovnell family. It also serves as a test to determine whether a person has a forensic eye and to select a candidate for proximity, which is required by the principal.

Because I understood it, I had a disgusting feeling toward children who were obviously getting involved, and if I said more childish opinions, there was nothing interesting about playing with "friends" who tried to make me listen to what I had to say.

Without realizing it, I was very tired of the elderly side of children who were in the mood as their parents told me, and children who were older than Annelier and became more ambitious about the future.

Approximately two years after I was able to bring in my opponent, I couldn't meet someone who could match her glasses.

Not to mention, Annelier had long feared that his father and grandfather would "find it difficult to choose his playmate."

The Rovnells are accustomed to their eldest son succeeding them, regardless of gender, for generations. Annelier was born as the eldest son after two generations of male dominance. With the female lead for the first time in decades, the facades of the deeply related aristocracy stood out in various ways. If the next-generation lord is a woman, the choice of kinship will be different from before. It's not just an intimacy, it's also possible to welcome the bridegroom as it is if you like it.

It is not the case that the male lord welcomes the bride.

No matter how talented she is, Annelier, who is already showing off her masterpiece, she is a weak woman after all. There will be times when it will be more difficult to move energetically than it is to create a different body from a man, and there will also be periods when you will be unable to fulfill your role as the main player to produce a succession.

― ― The Rovnell family, which is famous for its art and can trace its genealogy back to the time of the founding of the kingdom, is also famous and, above all, rich in wealth. With the aim of its prestige and funding, there was no end to the house that sought to take the real power of the Rovnell family by entering the son-in-law under the name of compensating for the "shortcomings" of women.

Therefore, most of the children offered as "playmates" were boys with "secret fate". I certainly didn't like Annelier, and my father and grandfather did what I expected.

--Dennis and Balt were brought in like that. They were one of the older, closest neighborhood boys.

(Must be the same as before.)

Betraying Annelier's expectations, which he felt he was willing to give up in the middle of the year, they were ideal players. After a brief introduction, the first voice they made was, "Well, what do you want to play with? '. And then," Is it true that this garden is big and fun? I was deeply surprised when I was told, "If I didn't do anything dangerous, I could play with it." It turns out he's really just here to play.

On that day, in the garden that the Rovnells pride themselves on, they enjoyed wild tricks and hiding, and at eight o'clock after they were tired of playing, they had sweet milk tea and the chef's prized baked confectionery, and they talked enthusiastically about each other's favorite things, favorite things, and favorite plays.

And at dusk, I said goodbye until the next time I promised to bring my favorite picture books.

--I really enjoyed it from the bottom of my heart, regardless of the lineage, side system, gender difference, etc. I still remember that day when I fell asleep in such a satisfied mood.

That's how Dennis and Balt met.

As I continued to interact with them, I began to think that they were the only people I could play with in the future. I've met their parents several times, but I don't feel ambitious, and they were both ideal people.

Basically, it was in line with Annelier's wishes, but if I judged it to be dangerous or inappropriate, it would be enough. It's not about facing the elderly, it's just about being an equal friend.

And if they had any hope of their own, they would have said it frankly.

Dennis and Balt treat me as close friends.

Yet, even as a child, I was able to express my position. In public places such as tea parties and public gatherings, I was thorough in behaving as an inferior person to Annelier.

The amount of equipment that can correctly understand things and move according to the situation. There are many things that are not enough, but I could say that it is enough for a child who is over ten years old.

Then a year passed since I first met them - Dennis and Balt were officially accepted as waiter apprentices.

However, although I was able to get the ideal person with no strange ambitions - my relationship with my husband and servant changed from playing with each other, so I almost ran out of time to engage privately. It was Dennis who felt the feeling of Annelier, who was about to crush her loneliness too first.

"... now you're doing something impossible."

Was that about two months after the two Servitors started their education? After a day's work, Dennis, who reported to her husband (Annelier), sneaked up on me.

He was delighted to be spoken in a tone that was not subordinate to him for the first time in a long time, but he behaved forcefully that he was not impossible because he was impatient that he didn't want to see where he was exposed to the truth or where he was vomiting a weak voice.

Even though it's good for you not to be upset because you're a noble child, you've been acting strangely lately. I'm curious. "

Clear words at dawn. This has been the case since we first met. He was reluctant because he was the daughter of the owner, and his attitude and language remained natural. I realized that he was looking at me as he is. He was watching "Annelier" as it is, not as a daughter of a nobleman.

I missed you so much.

Yeah.

I thought I had to stay firm because I was my husband, but Dennis and Balt kind of lost friends, and I really missed them.

"... yeah. I see. Then it's just like us."

Really?

Yeah, that's right. After all, we missed each other because we suddenly became kind of soft, even though we were able to be with friends every day. I see... I'm glad you had the courage to ask. "

They told me they felt the same way.

Even if I wiped my face with a handkerchief, it was a bit violent.

I thought the relationship had changed, but he told me that nothing had changed.

Not as a trusted servant - as a friend.

He was so relieved that, just as he had met them for the first time, that evening he laid on the floor with a terrible sense of satisfaction. Chewing on warm thoughts that lit your heart.

(--now that I think about it, maybe this is when I fell in love with Dennis.)

"... that happened. Speaking of which,"

While listening to Annelier's memories, Dennis looked nostalgically and laughed.

Because of the position he was placed in, his sharp expression, which increased over time, was also like a knight who protected himself, and he liked it vigorously, but it was much better to laugh like this.

Theoli, who showed me the sketchbook, must have noticed that she loves Dennis. Because he was the only one who painted an exceptionally large number of pieces as a model compared to others. It wasn't that I didn't feel ashamed of seeing her and getting to know her on a shallow day.

However, Shiori realized that she was also in love with "someone" - and she wanted to share this relationship with her. I want to talk to her about things so that I can show the depth of my palm that gently accepts walkers while maintaining a good distance for everyone.

(- But it makes you feel something scary and deep like darkness. Immigrants from the far east... (Though it may not be impossible to do so)

Not a pure Stridian people, Theoli.

Technically, Dennis is the same. The blood of the Empire flowing through his body, albeit only slightly. It seemed that the exotic blood mixed with his mother many generations ago had not faded. However, there were many nobles who valued their lineage, and not many who wronged Dennis, who was Annelier's close associate.

--A civilian, not a pure Stridian, born between a man who descended from his baron's house to the city well without a title to succeed and a woman who draws the blood of the Empire. There were many who thought that such a born young man would be close to the lord of the prestigious Rovnell family, and that the lord would not even forgive him, and therefore no one would do anything to keep him away from Annelier.

That's why - in the spring of Dennis's fifth year as a servant, the incident of his father having an affair with an immigrant woman was a great opportunity to kick him out of the Rovnell family.

--He is still a man who marries a woman who draws the blood of the Empire, and it is known that he is still with immigrants. How about mixing the blood of such a man's son into a lawful stream?

He himself was so heartbroken that there was a time when he was away from Annelier and away from the Rovnell family.

It was only a few months after the incident that my father, who was already the master of the past generation, died, and Bart, who was Annelier's servant and second secretary candidate who had succeeded him before he was an adult, could not fill the holes that Dennis had left, and he called Dennis back quite impossibly.

Although his ability as a First Secretary candidate had not deteriorated, by that time he had become completely reluctant to emigrate. There were more sharp expressions than before. The mere sight of the immigrant changed his expression, which was originally sensitive and easy to show on his face. It was remarkable when it came to having dark hair colors and eyes that were strangely black - a brunette like a woman who took her father from him and his mother and ran away. I didn't try to hide discomfort or disgust. It doesn't matter what race or nationality it is.

This made it difficult for me to walk with you outside of public work, such as diplomacy, business talks, and territory visits. As a result, the spear entered again from inside and outside, and Dennis himself showed his willingness to decline the proximity seat once or twice, but nevertheless - he could not let go.

I liked it. I liked him for showing me true feelings. I liked him because he looked at me as I am. I loved Annie when he said, "Annie's pictures are natural."

But it's not just that I couldn't let go of it. If he let go of this hand, his mind would have been in danger so far out of reach.

And he didn't pay much attention to the blood of the Empire and the blood of immigrants before, but he became more concerned about it.

Now, a little over ten years after that incident, apart from the black-haired woman, there are still as many people who bring up the incident and criticize him as there are people who almost no longer show open hostility just by being an immigrant. The Rovnells don't deserve the descendants of immigrants who aren't purely innocent.

So even if he stayed by, he didn't do anything but take my thoughts. You're here to protect Annelier from the crowd of fame, wealth, and interests, that's all. In fact, he protected himself well from "the outside world." He was capable enough to do it just by his ability as a civilian.

"... but you have to settle now. For me and for you."

Free the two accumulated thoughts from the "pure innocence" curse and bondage.

In front of this "luxurious and innocent landscape".
