"Now, I'll do it. Please go to bed early, young lady."

"Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work."

And he said, Go to bed, and called unto the first princess and the holy lady, which had never slept, and Lanel left the room.

I've been serving Clarice since I was a little girl, and I've never been dissatisfied with this job, Lanel.

But now, I was unexpectedly dissatisfied.

(I'm free... you're really bored every day...)

Yes, Lanel has been terribly bored lately. Because Lanel's real job isn't to take care of Clarice.

It is true that the maid who takes care of her, the first princess, is quite a lot, but it is not impossible to have other good maids.

(Thanks to that, my arms are getting a little dull......)

While saying that, Lanel immediately grasped the sphere of lightning that ran in lacquer and black on his right hand.

Her greatest strength lies in her magic skills.

Lanel was bought to be the princess's maid of honor, a rare ability among the nobility that specializes in dark magic.

However, Dark Magic was often only effective against people and monsters.

Until now, Clarisse had a lot of assailants.

It's a political thing aimed at a princess. It is a criminal act aimed at the Holy Maiden. A pervert who stalks because he's beautiful.

Of course, some of them had advanced magic and sword skills, but Lanel protected Clarice with one of them.

But these days, they're gone.

"I'll see you..."

What came into her good ear was the sound of people falling from heights onto the ground.

When I went to that place, a black man with his whole body paralyzed was lying on the ground.

After a while, the guard of this hall gets there.

Is this Lannell-sama, another intruder!?

"Yeah, I guess so."

The man was lying on the outside of the temple wall, and once he could climb it, it was a short distance to the building where Clarice lived.

(This family crest... is it them again?)

A certain group of insiders had been trying to capture Clarice several times before.

It must have been some kind of investigation that I got on board alone this time.

"It's as brilliant as ever!!"

"No, it's nothing..."

Even though the guards didn't see it, they praised Lanel for paralyzing the man, but Lanel didn't do anything.

For now, this is why Lanel says he's free.

Lanel saw a small blue sphere quietly standing on the ridge.

”It's completely... overprotective...”

"Excuse me, did you just say something?"

"Ah!? No, no, nothing!! Now, please take this man to the Gendarmerie!"

Yes, I got it!

Since Clarice and Tatsushi got engaged, Lanel has never wielded magic for Clarice.
