Stranger’s Handbook

205 New Position

"Grand Duke Zest, I'm sorry for the sudden visit."

They say that in a crisp atmosphere, which I don't think is the man who went very far and popped three people in the back house.

His Royal Highness Riselle, who waited in the reception room, was not what he used to be.

"Oh, you guys stay back. I need to talk to Grand Duke Zest."

"Yes, sir."

Your Royal Highness must have brought you here, Auntie... the maids who headed a woman older than me are leaving the room

Normally I think younger women, is that an instruction from His Majesty the Emperor around?

Like, "Don't let a young woman stay near him"?

"Well, now don't get down to business"

Her Royal Highness groans when Su finishes preparing my tea instead of them because they are not here

Your Highness and I are the only ones in this reception room right now... and only Su

Exactly. Albert's playing maté outside.

It's gonna be hard for him, and it's obvious it won't help him to stay.

"Maid with Your Highness...... are you a samurai? What kind of story is that about letting it back down?

Actually, I don't know if you're an admirer by the name of "The Samurai," or your highness's belly minister.

Well, I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a hassle.

Sigh with a soak of tea

"Don't be so vigilant, Grand Duke Zest. I've heard from my father, but I can't trust the next emperor so easily."

"... did you confirm me yourself?

"Oh, enough coverage... no, but I wanted to deepen my ties as a guardian."

A smile very similar to Niyali and Borderline Uncle, Your Highness.

Ha... more of these hand types again... bringing in all the trouble.

I feel slightly depressed, but my family order is excellent

Guess that's how I feel. You'll prepare me and your Highness for a sappy tea contract.

"Hmm. I heard there are a lot of beauties around the Grand Duke of Zest, but it seems true."

"Yes. Beautiful ladies and ladies at the head. I will offer His Royal Highness the same tea contract as your husband."

"Let's have it. I think that's beautiful, don't you? If it weren't for the decree, the marriage would have made a line."

"Play. If I were you, there would be a lot of people in the territory."

His Royal Highness's words don't seem to resonate with the same underrated su

I'm not being modest. I really think my appearance is lined up or anything less.

He prepared me with a loving laugh... but...

"Ho ho, this smells unusual"

"... tea... please?

"Yes, Your Majesty the Beast. It is your favorite food"

Offered for tea

It was a roasted noodle with a fragrant smell

What's a tea contract?

"For the first time in my life, I was heartily impressed with food."

"... Your Royal Highness, you have sauce on your mouth"

"Handkerchief, Your Royal Highness"

At the earliest, His Highness Risel cheeks the roasted buckwheat noodles with tea.

He liked it like Albert.

As obsessive as that hound was to have His Majesty the Beast King share the sauce, but His Highness Risel is also quite

"We have a replacement for you"

"Hmm. You got a lot of meat in there, huh?

Marie, dressed in an apron on a triangle towel, comes to deliver an extra baked noodle without hesitation.

There is no longer anything already prepared for the first small plate, and this is the fourth replacement with a large plate

Yet what I point out is the amount of meat... do you still eat this guy

"I'm sorry, Grand Duke Zest. Usually only a cold meal can be served with vigilance against poisoning. I haven't had a warm, good meal in a long time."

Even though what you're saying is very serial, all you can do is laugh bitterly when you're told to stick sauce and meat fragments to your face

There must have been a secret and important story, but the signs were foggy.

"Why don't we talk when we have two more plates? Wait till then."

"Yeah, I don't mind."

I can't help but be told with a smile like an eating boy high school student.

Shabby eating, my lord Riselle. I had fried potatoes prepared for me by Su.

... Huh? You want some of this, too? Su, prepare your lord's share.

"Grand Duke. I want to live in Grand Duke's territory"

"Your Highness, I don't mind that it's going to happen for a while... will you go home in the future?

Her belly pampered and her belt removed. Her Highness Riselle speaks with a true face

I may be disrespectful in the way I say it, but you're gonna be the one with this attitude.

It's each other... and...

"Is it a sign of trust to show vegetarian appearance in front of me so far? Your Highness, are all the nobles of the Empire so rotten?"

"Hehe, you talk fast, Grand Duke. Incompetent workers cannot endure, but good workers are precious. Besides, the Grand Duke has a new position and I'm counting on it."

What? A new status... I don't need any more

You can't just say that. Shut up and stare at His Highness.

"His Majesty the Emperor made it clear that my guardian is weak. So I ask the Grand Duke to assume the position of 'mediator'."

"This is the first time I've heard it, what role is it?

"Oh, I can't even do it. You don't have to know because this is a new position. This will serve as a substitute for His Majesty the Emperor to judge matters between nobles."

"I am in awe of replacing His Majesty. To me..."

I'm sorry to dismiss you.

That's what I wanted to go on, but they'd stop me by hand on the way.

"This mediator is the direct report of His Majesty the Emperor. And status is also treated as nominal on par with His Majesty's. Except for the Grand Duke."

"... that I would be entrusted with the task behind what His Majesty cannot order in His Majesty's name?

It's a status that I just think it is

I'm guessing it's a department that throws round dark projects that scratch His Majesty's name.

Unexpectedly, I find myself in the face, but Lord Risel answers with his face that he is out of his heart

"That's too much for the Grand Duke to think about. What if we let the Grand Duke do such a role and plant distrust of the Empire? I've lost the Grand Duke. I won't have an empire for 20 years."

"That's too much to appreciate, Your Highness."

"Is it excessive? If there is a conspiracy against the Empire, is there anyone in the Empire today who can intercept the Grand Duke who brought the soldiers of the Patriarchate and the Elf kingdom? Black knights and war maidens there. Beast warriors. Besides, there's the dragon, the Grand Duke himself, and Mrs. Beatrice, said to be a dark attribute magical genius, isn't there? There's no way you can win."

"Hehe, we are crossing the border area, so that's not..."

"Is that that belly-black grandpa? Do we act that there is justice in the empire that turned the Grand Duke and Mrs. Beatrice against our enemies? You're going to take care of one of Queen Tsubaki's sons and make him the new emperor."

……

Yeah, that's possible.

That just turns a blind eye without saying

That's actually the kind of step that that guy's gonna take, that.

"And the pigs in Teito can only distract the Grand Duke from criticism. It's like surrendering to us and to the Grand Duke when it comes to war from the front."

"So they're plotting a cleanup."

"Exactly. They can hardly grab their tails. Avoid failures that could be a reason to destroy the house."

"Well, you could say they're the ones who specialize in that."

He was a nobleman for decades and centuries in a safe zone where there was no fear of war.

politics...... no i dont doubt it specializes in hating and frying foot

At the moment, the front-line peripheral bourgeoisie is brain muscle meritocracy... and so are we...

"That's why I'm a 'mediator'. And Grand Duke Zest is my guardian and educator. Before I'm here, it's called" Re-educating the Stupid Crown Prince. "

"Right. That must be the most compelling reason to be around."

"That's why. You still can't find out who the Imperial nobles are, so why don't you treat them a little easier? Department of Education. I have a letter from His Majesty the Emperor... this is it."

"Is that a letter? I'll see."

His Majesty's autograph, which was handed to him, contained unintentionally nimmary content.

"Zest, I'm sorry. I'll take care of the trouble again, but think of him as your own son and stick to him strictly.

A letter that says something important twice.

This... means you can exhale the stress put on His Highness Riselle, right?

"Albert!!

"Ha! Would you like to call, my lord!

"Show His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the training ground. Hey, I don't want to, but I have eyes around me, so I can't help it... I can't help it, Your Highness"

"Oh, yeah."

"Ha! I have your lord Valdish, and Kathua lady says she wants to join us!!

This is how it started, the original pre-construction stress exotherm of pretending to be teaching because His Royal Highness Risel is excellent, but I don't want to find out yet around him.

After that, Anastasia joined us. The sole lasted until midnight.

... Huh? You want me to give you a break already? Ha, you can still do it while your mouth moves, right? Your Highness.
