The next morning, I woke up in the morning.

When I woke up and got out of bed, the bedroom door was knocked almost simultaneously.

Mistress, may I speak with you?

Ah.

Respond with closed eyelids that are still open when you get up.

Then the door opened and I saw a few people entering the room with signs.

Mary must have knocked on the door and asked for permission.

Other than that, she's probably her servant.

――

I felt the signs of Leviathan tremble slightly.

There's a girl out there who's trying to get hostile to me.

Leviathan's usual loyal dog smiled.

"Excuse me, miss my feet."

Ah.

I got out of bed and got up on my feet.

Keep the lid closed and weaken your whole body.

Then Mary took off my bedtime clothes with her familiar hands.

I was stripped naked as a natural body.

Mary, who had been a servant at the Prince's Mansion for many years, naturally dressed herself in the morning without any reaction to the naked nature of the Lord.

But the other servants were different.

When I got naked, I saw signs that everyone was upset at once.

"I'm sorry, Master - your hands have stopped."

"Ha, yes!"

"Sorry!!"

Mary's reprimand after she said no to me.

That triggered the servants to move.

Basically, it's Mary.

Take off my clothes and put on your new clothes.

Wash your hair and face.

Especially the inside of my ear was carefully steamed and flushed with a towel to make it clean.

This was taught around the time I met Audrey.

Audrey was the owner of the theory that unusual and invisible places should be cleaned.

It also led to a political path, and I honestly adopted it.

Since then, the servants of the Prince's Mansion have cleaned their ears especially every morning.

Mary did it the same way she did when she was at the Prince's Mansion.

By the time my ears were clean, I was completely drowsy.

Very low

"I'm sorry, Master. Bye-bye."

"Oh, wait a minute. Mary and the kid stay."

I feel the signs, I nominated the girl.

The girl was surprised and found herself more alert to me.

"Okay, then, you guys go back first."

"Yes"

On Mary's orders, the other servants left the room without doubt.

Mary and the girl were the only ones left in front of me.

"What's your name?"

Huh?

The girl was confused.

"It's an honor to hear it directly from your husband.Answer the question honestly. "

"Yes, yes, Ivy."

Girl - Ivy answered nervously.

Though they are alert and hostile to me, they seem nervous to actually talk directly to their "master."

I burst out laughing.

"Don't be nervous.Mary, you picked up a good boy. "

"Yes, she's the smartest girl I've ever had."

"I guess so. You're not used to taking care of me, but your support was good.It's not easy to read it like that. "

"That's very kind of you, Master.I was able to do that about a year after your husband picked me up. "

"You're better than you remember."

"Oh, my god..."

"I'm not going to flatter you.I let John out because I thought I could be the brake and the support when you were in. "

……

Mary was surprised and lost her words.

"John is seven, you are eight.Together, they stepped outside and said they could expect 1.5 times more than their normal family. "

"Thank you!! I can't thank you enough for your compliments..."

As Mary said, she burst into tears.

"Don't cry like that. You're complimenting me."

"Yes, thank you!"

"Don't tell John what's going on, you get on John well.With you, John would have done well.Then we'll see when it's time to bring John back to the hub and get him to work more than ever. "

"Yes! I will follow him properly"

"Nh"

My encouragement for Mary lived, and I saw Ivy again.

"But unfortunately, if only the rest had found it first."

If that's the case, I took Ivy with me.

Then Mary knelt to me on the spot.

Master, please take her with you.

"Mary!?"

When Mary suddenly said that, Ivy raised her voice close to the scream and stared at Mary with incredible eyes.

"Hmm? Are you sure? Don't you want to keep it with you?"

"Of course, it would definitely be better for her to learn under her husband than to get tired here."

Not exactly.

I smiled.

Well, I'm not going to make it any worse.

"Mary! I haven't thanked Mary yet, so..."

"Idiot! I can't give you back any more."

Huh?

Confused Ivy.

What does that mean differently than before? and staring at Mary.

"Your Majesty always says people are treasures."

Mary cut her tongue there and looked at me.

I nodded silently and affirmed it.

Then Mary turned to Ivy again and continued.

"What a wonderful thing about being able to dedicate a human being to your glasses is more than giving away any gold and silver treasure."

"That's right, it's not worth a million leens."

"Is that so...?"

That's why I talked about specific numbers.

Ivy was more and more surprised.

"... heh, really. In return for Mary...?"

Ivy probably looked at Mary and I and asked her to look up.

Hmm.

"Wow, I see. I'll follow you..."

Ivy said it was a treat.

It still feels like it's a favor to Mary, but even if it does, it doesn't change that I got a promising talent.

In that case, I got satisfaction from the morning and somehow thought that today was going to be a good day.



After breakfast, I left with John's escort.

John said that he would prepare a carriage and escort me to his jurisdiction.

While accepting it, he puts John on the carriage and sits face to face.

Kids like Ivy.

Huh?

"How much do you take in a year?"

"Eh, ten, maybe a little bit more...."

John answered, "Why do you ask me that?She looked strange.

"You're oppressing the couple's life.Unless you get a bribe or something, your salary won't protect you that much and you won't be able to feed me. "

"Yes, of course! I don't want you to swear a bribe."

"I know. People live their normal lives in the air.I don't feel classy or gold from you.I don't doubt it. "

"Thank you!"

"Instead, if you're not receiving anything, it's a field that is oppressing your couple's lives."

"Ha, yes... okay, that's fine.Mary understands. "

John stared straight at me and spoke forcefully.

You'll see, Mary came from the same place.

"Let's do the rest."

"Hah, hah..."

John looks at what he suddenly does.

I was told that there was no context at all, and I could see that I was confused.

"What do you think John is doing for the Emperor?"

"Noah's will is understood by everyone in the family!"

Instead, John argued strongly.

"To create a Taipei world where people like us can live with peace of mind."

"Sixty."

I said with a fuzzy smile.

John was surprised enough to open his eyes.

I never thought the answer was so low.

"It's not wrong, but it's not an end in itself.In the world, it's classified as "means."

"Purpose... Means..."

"The true purpose of the world is to honor His Majesty the Emperor who found the rest and gave up his empire."

"Hee, your majesty is steadfast -"

"Now it will be.However, if there is any remaining incapacity, it is added that the history book did not have the eyes of a successor.Therefore, there must be no major upheaval in the remaining generations.Whatever happens. "

"... what's Oscar up to?"

John suddenly said such a thing.

I was surprised this time.

I was surprised at how John perceived it.

That's true.

Oscar's ambitions are still unfinished, and he is aiming for the empire.

In the unlikely event that Oscar makes trouble for the Empire, it will be added to the history books as a mistake of his predecessor.

Oscar is the eighth prince, and I am the thirteenth prince.

If I were the first prince - the eldest son - the rebellion after receiving the emperor would not be seen in my father's mistake, but because I was the thirteenth prince, my father would be in the form of "daring".

You dared to choose me, but as a result there was a rebellion from brotherly discord.

So from my point of view, Oscar's trends are always careful and vigilant.

John read it.

I smiled and answered.

"That's not true. There can't be.It must not happen. "

John made his face more and more steep in my three-tiered way.

No, it's three rounds in a row, but it's like saying it's actually there.

"Master, I can go at any time.No, you can run off on your own (...,...). "

John with a real face.

That means I'm going to assassinate Oscar as a cannonball.

"Hold it down. If the rest of the family does, it will be the emperor who gave me the throne to a man who couldn't control his family."

"I'm sorry!!"

John panicked and lowered his temper.

"That's why you can't reach Oscar for more than the rest. Don't you dare."

"Yes! That's my master. We were so fuzzy, I wonder why Master Oscar was so obscure."

"Fu, that's why I have to do it."

I turned around.

I looked beyond the wall of the carriage and saw a very distant eye.

Well, that doesn't matter now.

I turned to John.

"Your feelings are good and you talk fast.Do you understand that the means change depending on the purpose? "

Yes!

"So, what is your purpose?"

"My...."

"For what purpose are you taking the children?"

……

……

"......!!"

After a while, John was relieved.

Keep staring at me with that face for a while.

And...

"Master, I'd like to build a poverty alleviation home on this land. Can you give me permission?"

"Ninety."

I praised John.

"Yes, if you want to save the poor, you can do it publicly, and you can prosecute the rest.Since the rest of them are famous, I will not dismiss the story without permission. "

Yes!

"Well done. You're smart."

"Thanks to your husband's education!What a wonderful master!! "

John, as he said, looked at me with increasingly touching, intoxicated eyes.

"Well, make a plan. Make a plan."

Yes!

John nodded a lot, then switched his expression, probably asking.

"Master... what was the missing ten points?"

"You're ready to punish me now - you're ready to die and you're suing me."

"Yes, yes."

"That's true for the rest of us and for others.Man is a treasure, don't be ready to die and do anything. "

"Ok! That's my master....."

John seems to have understood a lot.

Someday I want to return to the heart of the Empire, so I can teach you when I see you.

I was satisfied that it was done.
