"Zach, no"
"Huh? Did I make a mistake?
"Zach is in the shape of serving Master Wilhelm. If a servant speaks to his or her husband's relatives, he or she must be called in consideration of his or her relationship with his or her husband. For Wilhelm, the lady will be in the form of a wife, so Zach must be called his wife."
"Oh, but Natalia, you said you were a lady."
"I am a samurai with a lady, but my husband is Gilliam, the host of the Duke of Ambrose house, as well as Elizabeth. So for me, the lady will be called the lady."
"... that's a hassle"
Right in front of you, Natalia and Zach are exchanging words that way.
Natalia seems to be correcting something, but I'm not sure what she's correcting either.
No, no, no.
Why is Zach here?
"Well, welcome home, ma'am... you know what?
"Yep. From now on, be united with your wife"
"Something about Carol feels like Carol. I don't feel like a wife at all."
Zach is whining about what he cares about being rude.
And then, it's kind of very uncomfortable that Zach called me his wife. Somehow, the reality is that you don't really feel like you're called your wife.
"What, you already know"
"Ha!?
When I was relieved by the unexpected that Zach was there, I heard that voice from behind.
Master Wilhelm was there with a face that looked bad, scratching his puffy, white bearded cheeks. Apparently, you could have returned early today.
Huh?
Huh?
What is it, this situation?
"Welcome home, Master Wilhelm"
"Oh. I was summoned to the court today... because the job was largely over, and all that remained was a case that could be left to Vector. I decided to go straight home."
"Oh, did you..."
Uh.
I am delighted that Master Wilhelm is back early. Let's have a lot of chatting tonight.
Oh, speaking of court, it takes place in court, you should have been invited to the ball. I've already spoken to Master Wilhelm and the dress is new. Isn't it time to get there too?
Welcome home, Captain.
"In that case, I think it's your husband."
"Ya, you're hard to get used to. Then again. Welcome home, sir."
"... Captain is fine. I get goosebumps when you say that."
"Me too."
Haha, and Master Zach and Wilhelm are laughing.
There seems to be no confusion in Master Wilhelm. Didn't I just know?
Mm-hmm.
I've just been amazed lately.
"Dear Wilhelm..."
"I'm sorry, Carol. Zach was stopping me."
"Why not, Zach"
"Isn't that funny?
"Is that all the men in this country are like that"
Is it a hobby to surprise people, called Mr. Edward and good Zach? I suffer from understanding.
Master Wilhelm stroked my head like that.
"Zach has a reason."
"Reason...?
"You would have made 'Knight's Vow' to Carol, wouldn't you?
"Yeah. Sure, I think I heard"
I, you don't quite understand that 'Knight's Vow', do you?
I think Zach would have used a hard word if he had done it. And then it was kind of like saying all sorts of things about swearing allegiance.
I don't need Zach's loyalty, so I'd like to return it.
"The Knight's Oath is a ritual that you do only to your lord, who should obey you until your death. If you obey my lord's orders and tell my lord to die, I must give you that life. If you tell me to kill you, I'll have to kill even my own parents, the highest oath of loyalty."
"-!?
"It used to even be said that if you can't get your master to take your vows, you have to choose to die yourself. So Zach retired from the Knights and got a job where he could risk his life to protect Carol... well, in the form of a servant"
"Oh no...!
What a light oath you have for something heavy.
I would never tell you to die, but if you swear on a bad opponent, you'll be waving your whole life on a stick.
But when it comes to such a heavy oath, Zach looks limitless and light.
"Well, sometimes you can be an escort. I'll escort Natalia to the garrison when she's off."
"... I don't rely on it"
"Hey... for once this is still part of the Knights"
"But was it Zach who said there was a servant's guess? Natalia."
"Yes, because Zach told me not to tell the lady,"
After all, I'm the only one who's hurt.
But somehow.
Somehow.
Between Natalia and Zach, it's uncomfortable.
"... Natalia"
"Yes?"
"... Zack"
"Hmm?"
"... were you two friends calling each other that?
I don't think so.
Are we making so much progress? I, I just saw it this morning.
Natalia blushed a little. Zach scratched his cheek with just a little light.
"Er... well, what is it"
"Well...... yes. That's why."
"They're in love. I promise to marry you in the future."
"Why aren't you reporting something so important? Huh!
It's just me. I'm going to mess with you, you said you'd stay like this.
Besides, Master Wilhelm knows.
When I glanced at Mary, I was silently distracted. Mary was a traitor, too, wasn't she?
I can't do this anymore. Nobody can believe it.
"Sorry, ma'am"
"... Natalia"
"Well... I was going to make a report when I was properly prepared. So far, I still have a clean relationship with Zach. It's as good as going out with you."
……
No, I haven't heard that far, me.
And, you know, that can be a good fact if you sneak up on me later.
"As, well, what, that's it!
As deceptive as it sounded, Zach suddenly raised his voice.
A clean relationship means you haven't had any hands on it yet, right? Simply think about it. It's hectic, isn't it?
Well, if you try to get your hands on Natalia, you might get hit. It's super strong.
"Because you haven't quit the Knights yet, me. In the meantime, I'm off today, so I just got a bunch of things to tell you, and the Knights have to take over and stuff, so I'm still gonna have to go for about two weeks."
"Really?"
"So now I'm still a servant apprentice. I come to teach after work or on a day when work is off, but I still can't work full-time for a while, so say hello."
"... ok"
The servants were going to hire them in the first place, and there's no problem. Looks like Mr. Wilhelm's admitted to it.
And then, whether or not you'll work properly, you'll be fine because it's about Zach.
I'm just confused already, me.
"Well, let's make it dinner. Shall we eat together for a long time, Carol?"
"... Yes, Master Wilhelm"
"Don't be so obstinate...... oh yeah"
Second, as I recall, Master Wilhelm will be explored for nostalgia.
Then I took it out, it was a letter.
It is properly sealed with wax, with the royal mark pressed. It's a luxury item.
... What is it, this?
"In a week."
"... Yes?
"Of the court ball, it's an invitation. As I entered the court, I got it."
"Well!"
Speaking of which, I was. It's another week, isn't it?
Receive an invitation from Master Wilhelm and smile.
It's a lot of confusion, and I think they keep secrets from me all the time.
I don't know - when I did, I realized I was Master Wilhelm's wife.
