I followed John to the front gate of the mansion.

It was also the end of the fire, where a woman she had seen brought her servant to wait for her.

Mary.

A girl who was once rescued from a slave trader, a woman who was my family like my husband until she became John's wife and wanted to get out.

The Mary knelt before me in a restless motion and bowed herself to the ground.

I pointed out that when John was a public official, Mary had no position in the public, so she just thanked him as an employee (,,).

Behind such Mary, the servants are surprised.

- What's wrong with your wife?

It seemed possible.

"I've been expecting you, master."

"Take it easy, or it could be an abbreviation."

Any courtesy has a formal and abbreviated form.

Mary's presence was quite formal in the inner courtesy - a full course of manners.

That's why I said it was a simple abbreviation, but Mary raised her face with her hands and knees on the ground.

"Not at all! I wonder if I will ever see my husband again in a few years.Let me see you this way.If you don't treat your greatly thankful master properly, you won't be able to sleep at night with a backlash! "

"Is that what it is?"

"Yes"

Good-bye, John.

I turned around and called out John's name.

Yes!

"Sometimes I go to Tokyo on duty and see it later.Then bring Mary and the couple.--Now and then, right? "

"Ah, thank you."

"Thank you."

Mary bowed her head in a hurry and bowed her head to John with a calm feeling.

Compared to John, who still has a somewhat juvenile appetite, Mary seems to be wearing a largely adult woman's calm.

Such Mary stood up quietly, took a step back, halved, and gave me the way to the mansion.

Please come in, Master.

Hmm.

I nodded and went inside.

John and Mary's wife followed me as I walked out, and John's servants followed me with confused faces right behind them.And Paille followed me silently from the back.

When I went to the residence, I was first taken to a place like a reception room.

"... uhh"

I walked in and accidentally leaked my voice.

As soon as I entered the room, I felt as if I had stepped into the heavens and the earth.

Even though it is night time, there are plenty of lights and bright, and even the best incense you can smell is burned.

In addition, the sofa that I would sit on is filled with embroidery, and a delicate fruit is placed on the table in front of it.

Whoever sees it, it's a lot of entertainment.

"I'm sorry, this is all I can do here.It's not as big as the capital, but I'll do my best to serve it. "

Sa, Master, please come this way.

I sat on the sofa guided by John Mary and his wife.

Not only does it look good, but it's a nice sofa with plenty of stuffing.

I sat down and looked around the room.

"... what happened to the money?"

Of course, I asked John and Mary.

The two had a bad look on their faces.

"This kind of entertainment can't be covered by your salary.If you suck, you'll get a year's salary. "

The salaries of the empire's junior officials are not too expensive.

That's where I'm going to get my hands on it - now it's about John.

Then it's okay.

Huh?

"I borrowed it from a city merchant.Ah, I wrote the loan.He promised to pay me back until my term of office was over. "

Hmm.

"Don't worry, master.I know exactly what it is. I will never suck it out of the people. "

Mary followed John.

They were born and raised in a cold village where they were originally slaves and then sold into slavery.

I don't exploit people by mistake, and I've identified it well and taken it outside as a family.

I wasn't wrong to look at it, but I didn't expect you to entertain me until I owed you money.

"Come on, Master, give me a treat."

That's what Mary said and knelt at my feet.

And he took off the shoes I was wearing.

After taking off his shoes, he receives a piece of water from a young servant behind him.

And wash my feet.

13 From the time I was at the Prince's residence, when I came home at night, I let my servants wash their feet and get tired.

This is what everyone is doing, and even after walking all day washing my feet and performing a simple massage can get me pretty tired, so I was confused immediately after I was reincarnated, but I only had to have them do it normally.

Mary washes my feet the same way she did when she was at the Prince's Mansion.

And behind that, there are other servants.

Especially in the case of princes and above, only servants of a certain status or above can serve directly.

In this situation, Mary, who is also my family, is worth it.

To put it bluntly, other servants are not "qualified to serve."

It's something noble people know, but it's hard for civilians to understand.

Even now, Mary's servants are saying, "Why is your wife acting like such a virgin?He looked like he was.

After I let my feet shine.

"Paille"

"Ha, yes!"

Paille came to me in a hurry when I called her.

Paper and pen.

Yes!

Payle took the paper and pen out of the luggage he had and gave it to me.

I took it and ran a little further on the table.

And I understood the flow and gave my seal - the emperor's mark.

Take it and press the mark on the paper you wrote.

This is an abbreviated version of the book.

I gave it to John.

"Take it."

"What is this?"

"Charge the inner prefecture for the rest of the entertainment.I wrote it down to pay the bill. "

Oh, no!

John shouted like a scream.

Mary is still in a position to wipe my feet after washing them.

"I'm sorry! If there's anything missing, I'll collect it right away."

"On the contrary."

Huh?

"The rest of the entertainment is not like borrowing money.I properly received the feeling of filial piety (,,). That's fine. "

"Master...."

"After all, your husband is an amazing person....."

John and Mary were touched and moisturized.

"Well... let me show you to your bedroom.Let's talk about it tomorrow. "

Got it!

The couple nodded at the same time.

And Mary leads the servant and moves.

The servants acted on Mary's orders to see if she was well educated.

"Wow, I'm just a maid..."

Because Mary's servant treats Paille like a guest, she panicked.

"No, you're our junior, that's more than these kids."

That's what John said.

Still, Paille threw a salvation gaze at me anxiously.

I smiled back.

"Do it. You're the rest of the maid, and you don't have to be any better than others."

"Yes, thank you, John, Mary."

My advice made me a little more comfortable, and Payle accepted the situation.

And I got Mary to show me to my bedroom.

The bedding was easy to understand and expensive, but I left it without pointing out.

Mary and her last servant left the room and I was alone in the room.

"Lord, may I have a moment?"

"Yeah? What's the matter, Leviathan?"

The moment I was alone, Leviathan spoke to me.

"It's unusual for you to talk to me."

I'm sorry. I decided that I should put it in the Lord's ear. "

Hmm?

Sit on the bed, slightly bend your neck, and push forward.

There was one of the wives, one who had a strong hostility towards the LORD.

"Oh, you mean a smart girl, right?"

I nodded and remembered the impressive girl behind Mary.

Age is 12-3- No, considering what John and Mary are doing, the child will also come from a poor village, so there is a possibility of 15-6 if you consider stunting.

The kid was always hostile to me.

But I have successfully concealed the hostility.

It was not the eyes of a person who could only see immediate objects, but eyes that tended to be in the deep type of person.

Lord, did you notice?

"If you turn that much hostility on me, I'll realize it."

What are you going to do with her?If you need me, I can remind you of your journey lightly. "

"You're always a mess."

I laughed loudly.

"Throw it away, no poison, no medicine, no hostility."

As if....

"Nothing is wrong in the first place.Even if hostility develops into action, can we escape your protection? "

"Just in case."

Leviathan answered immediately.

"Then there is no problem. Because you're protecting me."

─ Ha

Accept, Leviathan.

The voice that can only be heard in the back of my head doesn't have a figure, but the tone of the reply is like kneeling before my eyes and seeing me trembling with excitement.

Leviathan, who is in a more intense mood up and down than others (,), also had a greater reaction at this time.

That night, I fell asleep.

The more defenseless I was, the more I trusted him, so I decided to relax and sleep better than usual.
