Tomorrow evening.

At last, I will speak with His Majesty.

I'm going to take my cooking to hand souvenirs, as I have visited so far...

I was not sure if I could afford to eat, even if I was more conscious of my nerves.

"Master Leticia, what's wrong?

Lena is worried that she may have noticed something bothering me.

I tried not to put it on my face, but Lena was a smart girl.

"I was thinking about it a little. I wonder which dishes I will bring to you at your visit tomorrow."

Even Lady Leticia is worried.

"I'm worried. I wonder what kind of food to choose."

How small is it to avoid disturbing the conversation and refreshing the dishes?

But that alone may not be enough for His Majesty because he is not full...

I was worried.

"If it is the dish you bring to His Majesty... I would be delighted if all of Leticia's dishes were delicious."

"I would be happy if His Majesty thought so... That's right."

I noticed it on the way.

Yes, it is.

I have a lot to worry about, but the most important thing is to have it tasty.

Even if my relationship with His Majesty were to change.

I'm sure I won't change my mind about having a delicious meal for His Majesty.

"Thank you, Lena. Cooking is going to be decided thanks to you. I'll have dinner with His Majesty tomorrow. Say hello to Gilbert."

Yes, I understand.

Listening to Lena's reply, I thought about tomorrow's dinner.

◇ ◇ ◇

The day after opening it.

By nightfall, a carriage arrived to greet him from the main castle.

"Good evening, Mr. Reticcia. I'm here to greet you today."

Melvin, a close associate of His Majesty's.

Guided by an elegant escort, I boarded the carriage with Lucian.

"Thank you for picking me up. It's unusual. This is the first time that Mr. Melvin has picked you up, isn't it?

"Yes, it's my first time. There's something I want to talk to you about today."

The carriage runs out into an uneavesdropped chamber.

I don't want to be asked, I think I have something to tell you.

"What kind of story?

"It's just a little confirmation. Does Leticia intend to speak with His Majesty today about Ghu?

The fact that you deliberately put Gu-sama in your mouth on this occasion means

"Melvin, do you also know the secret of Gu and His Majesty?

"Thank you. Surprised?

"... no, I'm convinced. There is someone beside His Majesty. If it weren't for someone to share secrets and cooperate, it would have been a mess by now."

Melvin seemed to have a strange attitude towards Gu.

When I said, "Gu-sama, there's something a little mean about it, but you're a sweet and cute girl," Melvin looked at Hagu-sama and said, "... cute..."

It's been a long time since I found out who Gu is, but the hint was rolling without realizing it.

"Melvin knew who Gu was from the beginning and was watching over us, right?

"I enjoyed watching your two smiling interactions."

"Dear Melvin....."

I thought you were a bad eater, but you still have a pretty good personality.

"Oh, are you stunned?

"I just thought I could count on you to be my ally."

"It's an honor. I also think that Leticia is a reliable person."

Even if they say it's reliable in this flow, I'm worried if I can accept it as I say.

And as I waited for Melvin, he smiled.

"I really welcome the presence of Leticia. Lady Leticia knew your secret, but she never refused, did she?

"Your Majesty revealed the secret because he was trying to help me. Thank you, and I won't refuse."

I was shocked, and the running lights ran around, exposing my ugliness.

There was no reason to reject or dislike His Majesty.

"Fufu, that's why I'm grateful. Turning a human into a wolf is usually a very unacceptable event. Lady Leticia, you have a big vessel."

"Thank you."

I got compliments, so I honestly smiled.

... even though humans can't turn into wolves or beasts in this world.

I was also familiar with the story of humans turning into beasts thanks to cartoons and novels I touched in my previous life.

Even when I found out who you are, I was able to calm down relatively quickly, and I was a cartoon and novel maker.
