The first visit to the Duke of Yursain's residence was an exotic, albeit stylish, mansion of chalk.

The carriage of the Yurnova family passes through a magnificent gate with a black iron fence decorated with gold, which was opened to welcome them. As I approached, I saw that the mansion, which had the first impression of white, was delicately decorated with blue tiles. It evokes the Mediterranean-style architecture of previous generations and the Indian Taj Mahal, and Ekaterina exhales.

"It's a nice mansion, isn't it?" Even though it's in the same imperial capital, it smells exotic. "

When I told my neighbor Alexei, my brother smiled sweetly.

"If you like it, let's rebuild our home in this style."

Oniisama...

While cheeking and laughing, Ekaterina is sweating inside. If you say these words, 999 out of a thousand people will be joking, even one more digit. But this brother is certainly serious.

No, oniisama. The cost of rebuilding our mansion is perhaps tens of billions of yen, converted into the amount of the previous life. I've read that the construction cost of the guest house in Akasaka was 100 billion yen in modern dollars. Don't make such a terrible payment for your sister's sake.

Tens of billions of yen for Cisco... that's too much for you, oniisama.

"No matter how nice this mansion is, my home is the best place for me." It's hard to lose the room where you first held hands with oniisama. "

"I see... I'm glad you care about that time." For me, it's a very important memory that shines brightly. "

In response to Alexei's words, Ekaterina smiled.

The carriage stopped.

When I got off the carriage, the butler of the Yursain family and a rusty person came out to pick me up until the carriage was turned around, and I bowed my head politely to my brother and sister.

Welcome, Duke of Yurnova, Lady Ekaterina.

Ekaterina smiles back at the butler who says she's here.

Like Graham, the butler of the Yurnova family, he is not an upright type who has the character of a famous butler. He is not very tall and chubby. His hair is dark but he has a wide forehead and a fine eagle's nose on his thick brow. However, it seemed to be able to make visitors feel at ease by having a smile that seemed to be drawn in.

You must have a high level of ability to work as a deacon at the Duke of Yursain's house.

Ask Alexei to escort you and guide you through the mansion.

Many of the artifacts in the hallway seem to be from foreign countries. Even the realistic camel sculpture, Ekaterina's eyes rounded. Although the shape is realistic, it is also decorative enough to decorate the duke's house, with agate and crystal embedded.

"This is a camel, Ekaterina."

Alexei taught me. It's only natural to think that I wondered what it was because it was supposed to be an animal I had never seen before in my life, daughter Ekaterina.

"I know, oniisama." The creature that was described in the book as the "Ship of the Desert". Dozens of such large animals travel in a row with the merchants beyond the "Mountains of the Gods"? ”

Your daughter is very knowledgeable, isn't she?

The butler narrows his eyes.

"This was purchased by the Duke when Empress Magdalena was still our daughter." A young lady said that she wanted to travel in the desert and that she wanted a camel... It reminds me nostalgically of my ancestors who told me that the Empire is cold for camels, and that it's pathetic to bring real camels. ”

"Well... it's a smiling memory, isn't it?"

But I want my child to have a camel! Instead of plush toys and small dolls, the actual sculpture is said to be a duke's house.

When they went to the grand reception room, they barely waited and the man appeared.

"Hey, Alexei. And, Miss Ekaterina. Welcome to the House of Yursain"

While speaking plainly, he entered the reception room with his big thighs. Long, blue-green hair. A magnificent man with an upright face and a stylish thin moustache that suits him well.

What suddenly burns in the sun is not the personality that is in the cage of the Duke's residence. Even now, it may be possible to travel on an open sea route aboard a large sailboat with three masts. The blue-green eyes that shine through such tanned skin are like an oasis in the desert.

Duke of Yursain, Your Excellency Dmitry.

Ikeoji!

"It's shabby." I'm glad you're doing well. ”

"Let's do without a proper greeting." Aren't you from the same family as Yule? "

Alexei pays homage to his elderly Dmitry, who has the status of duke of the same rank. Dmitry graciously turned to Ekaterina.

"Will you introduce me to your treasure, Alexei?"

"Of course, Ekaterina, this is Lord Dmitry." I'm the foreign minister now, but as you can see, I'm a very friendly person. "

There is no prime minister in the empire at present. The Emperor Constantine does not entrust politics to the Prime Minister, he is in charge of his own affairs. In this system, the Foreign Minister is one of the most important posts. It's a big town to support the Empire.

Encouraged by Alexei, Ekaterina gives thanks to the lady.

"I'd like to see you at the beginning. My name is Ekaterina Yulnova."

"It's a pleasure to meet the princess of rumors." From now on, I want to stay close to you. Feel free to call me Uncle Dmitry. "

Ekaterina laughed at Dmitry's narrow-eyed, charming words.

I'll really call you Uncle Dmitry.

"I'm glad. You have a beautiful voice." The figure is even more beautiful. "

Excellent, my lord. The skill of the nobleman is perfect.

A butler with a maid comes back and makes tea. The tea was a slightly unusual flavored pie of a bite size, and Ekaterina enjoyed the feeling of being overflowed with plenty of butter, and Dmitry watched the situation vividly.

After taking a breath, Ekaterina corrects her residence.

“Uncle, thank you for ordering from our workshop.”

"Oh, can you show me?"

As she stepped forward, Ekaterina offered her a blue-green box.

Here you go, please take a test.
