The Duke’s Daughter Is the Knight Captain’s (62) Young Wife

"... then, Dear Carol. I'll show you."

"If it was the position of the captain's office, I remember."

"No... the captain was now in the royal palace on the executive post. You'll have to wait. So let me show you to the reception room."

Well, have you been to the royal palace?

Maybe it'll take a long time. I didn't say it yesterday, but maybe it was decided quickly.

The location of the reception room has also been heard for the first time in yesterday's guidance. So I'm sorry to ask the receptionist, Gail, to take your seat off and show you around.

"It's okay. I rarely come here anyway, and the receptionist is like a figurine."

"Is that what you do, and you don't lose your body?

"Well... when the prescribed time is up, I'll be in training, too. Please, this way."

Master Gail will rise and head to the back of the garrison.

Unlike yesterday, you will walk through a much less popular aisle. Sure, I think the reception room was more over there.

I follow behind Master Gail with wonder.

"The reception room, isn't it over there?

"... yes, but there was a bit of a situation. Never mind. Come."

"... ha"

If you take a glimpse of Natalia, you're somewhat wary.

I don't think Master Gail would do a strange imitation, but that's odd. For once, should I be on my guard too?

Though I'm more relieved than Natalia is pointing her attention at me.

In the end, we followed Master Gail around the outer perimeter of the garrison and led him to the reception room.

"Please, have a seat"

"Thank you"

Probably left it in the aisle, even something I shouldn't have seen.

I think that's why you've guided us so far away. Indeed, I was guided through the Knights yesterday. But it's not something I can walk on my own, is it?

Dear Gail, it is not enough to thank you.

"... uh, when the captain returns, I'll tell you that Carol will be in the reception room. Sorry I took so long to show you around."

"No, it's outrageous. I apologize for taking the time."

"No, no! I don't need a duke's maid bowing her head to a guy like me!

As I was told yesterday, is that so strange?

Originally, in the House of the Duke of Ambrose, not so much about identity. All the servants you hire are civilians. They used to have junior aristocrats, but you think they replaced them overall on your grandfather's behalf?

A nobleman who tries to connect with the Duke's family often tells his lady to be a samurai. Your grandfather must have hated it.

My grandfather educated me from an early age not to discriminate against civilians either. In fact, Natalia is a civilian, too, and I didn't have a no.

I believed too much in civilians because of it, and I almost got fooled. Speaking of which, what is the boy doing then?

It's like losing my sister because of me, but it's not my fault, it feels subtle. I'm sure they don't have good feelings.

"Now, if you'll excuse me."

"Yes. Thank you, Master Gail"

"So... uh, that's enough. Look, don't leave this room until the captain gets back. Please."

"Okay."

Sure, I'm sorry about all the Knights, even if people like me are moving around on their own.

Be quiet, let's wait here.

Master Gail breathed relief and left the reception room.

Master Wilhelm can't come back yet, so you're bored.

"... Speaking of which, why is Wilhelm in the royal palace?"

You didn't say anything yesterday.

"That's right. Was it sudden?"

There's been a war with other countries, that's not to say. Then the Knights' air should be tingling more.

That doesn't mean war, did you ask Master Wilhelm to do some work? He also seems to have a wide variety of duties as head of the Knights.

"I don't really care."

"Right."

"Especially now... because the lady's position is very complicated"

……

You're right about Natalia.

Me too, I know. You're about to even get a sigh of sigh into your position, which is too complicated.

I am a noble lady, the Duke, second only to the royal family in position and authority.

In addition, it is even said that the Duke of Ambrose has a vast territory east of the kingdom of Freakista, and that the power it can have extends to the royal family.

That is why His Majesty the King tried to make the country more of a rock by virtue of my engagement with His Highness Rayford.

However, such engagement was destroyed at His Royal Highness's unilateral request.

You said it was an engagement to rock royalty and nobility, but you destroyed it with childlike selfishness, and it's like there's been a decisive groove between the Royal Freakista and the Duke of Ambrose family.

Moreover, the Ambrose family, which has become such a poison for internal worries, is unable to do anything because of the destruction of the engagement, which is responsible to the royal family.

"... I don't like war"

"... Yes?

"No, it's nothing"

Ha, and a big sigh of sigh.

Father is right, being bound to Master Wilhelm will have a good result for the Ambrose family. But that's only if the Ambrose family flies an anti-flag against the kingdom.

What if the Ambrose family flies an anti-flag against the kingdom and declares independence as a principality?

Dear Wilhelm.

Which way do you point the blade?

"... even if you think about it, it's inexplicable"

If there were to be a war, Father would be after the next generation of His Highness Rayford took over the throne.

The current age of His Majesty Gallius is still over forty.

It won't collapse yet, and now it won't be enough to care.

I don't want to think about politics. It's difficult.

So the door of the reception room opened.

"Uh, no over there!

"Let's take one. One!

That's where they were.

It wasn't Master Wilhelm, it was you two knights.

Unexpectedly, I'm discouraged.

I thought Master Wilhelm was back.

"... ah?

I have eyes on the knight who was to the right of it.

Probably no different from me or a little older, a red-haired man.

That looks like something I've seen a long time ago.

"Oh, hey, oh, why are you here!?

"Excuse me, my name is Carol Ambrose. Mr. Wilhelm wanted to see you, but he told me to wait in the reception room because you weren't here."

"Are you serious!?

One of the knights is in a great hurry.

Apparently, you were going to get a break here. I have a client like me, and I'm sorry.

But this is the reception room, so it's not a rest stop, and you can claim my right of abode.

A knight who hears my name bows his head deeply.

"Also, sorry! I didn't think you had visitors! Shh, right away, because I'm leaving!

"From time to time, is this how they use the reception room for rest stops?

If so, it would be a problem. I need to say a word to Master Wilhelm.

But the knight shook his head in a hurry.

"Chi, it's not! Hey, it just so happens today... Ooh, hey! Zach! Say something from you, too!

Zach.

I've still heard that name.

That's a miserable encounter.

"... Long time no see, 'Kikuro-kun'"

"Long time no see." Oyabu ""

He's... Zach is.

Took me to the bad guy.

He sold his sister to a bad guy, you know, he was the leader's boy.
