The day after returning from the party.

I was summoned by the head of the Rosenberg family, Lady Grave. I've had the opportunity to speak to Master Grave before, but this is the first time I've been summoned to the office.

Given the timing, the business must be a party-related story. I visited the office nervously wondering what the hell they were going to talk about.

The marquis' owner deserves the clerk's office - and I suppose there are thoughts that make visitors think so.

Paintings and antique condiments worked by prominent painters are arranged, and plant paper documents are still pervasive on the wall shelves.

The front of such a room. Master Grave, who sits at the painful system desk, keeps running his pen on the paperwork even after he glances at me.

Of course, I, the servant, would never disagree with that. As he continued to take the position he carelessly put his pen down.

"Hmm. You don't remind me."

"I can see from my gaze that your husband has noticed me."

If you keep doing business after you realize me, it's more important to you. If you stand in the way of your husband without understanding that, you are disqualified as a servant.

"Hmm. It's a mistake a rookie makes once. Do you understand that at that age? That's right, there's just something about being recognized by Cedric at six."

Cedric and I are my father, as well as Master Grave's dedicated butler. I passed such a rigorous father's exam and was recommended as an exclusive apprentice for Lady Sophia.

Even though I did get the right results, my father made a lame recommendation. And Master Grave, who accepted that recommendation, is also a big shot.

Or maybe that's all my father trusts.

"Nothing else called that. The other day. He played a good part in the big role of Sofia escort. He has a son like that, and Cedric has a high nose."

"Thank you. I know. But...... I don't get that praise. Because I couldn't fulfill the role I was given."

"You're talking about Sophia missing out on the way to the party, aren't you?

"Yes."

Sophia, the lady didn't end up falling into darkness. On the contrary, on the surface, he was back to his usual, young lady as Marquis.

But he got sick and left on his way home.

He said he was ill, but I don't even have to think about the cause.

Withdrawal after having completed the necessary greetings, but it does not change that it left the stain of going through the Prince's birthday party on the way. My actions smeared mud on your daughter's background.

"If that's the case, you don't have to worry. More often than not, a lot of the kids go home on the way home. No one questioned Sophia's return."

"... is that right?"

I'm just a little relieved to hear it didn't turn out to be a lady's stain.

"Rather, you were right to let him go home there. That dance attracted too many eyes around me."

"Though impatient, his opponent is the Second Prince. Is it natural to attract attention?"

"Ho. Were you aware that he was a second prince? But that's not the reason. Very few will have realized that their dance opponent is a second prince."

"Well, what attracted your attention?"

"Of course, my daughter's dancing appearance is caused by too much pity"

You're the idiot - and I refuse to say anything that I thought reflexively. Besides, perhaps not exaggerated or anything. The fact is, there has been more friendship with Lady Sophia.

If I hadn't exited along the way, there might have been an undelivered person who would have dealt with the lady directly.

"I was relieved to hear that it didn't have to be a stain on the lady or her husband. But that's only a theory of results, and I wasn't aware of that fact. I am truly sorry."

It's not like you acted knowing you wouldn't bother and didn't bother you as a result. My actions, the latter, should not be praised.

"... don't get suspicious sometimes if that was really a child"

"I abandoned the sweetness of being a child more than when I became your daughter's dedicated butler apprentice"

In most cases, saying that you are a child is an exonerator.

However, a dedicated butler is not an inherently child-friendly position. I'm not going to use any more immunity marks because I'm a child than I was in that position.

Besides, if you shake the immunity mark, Master Grave will take me off the exclusive list.

"... I see. My daughter trusts me."

"Sophia, is that what your lady did?

"If you look at it without asking, you'll see. My daughter trusts me more than anyone."

"Such a thing..."

I tried to keep it going, but Master Grave controlled it by hand.

"I don't mind. More than that, I called him because I wanted to ask him something. What's the real reason my daughter left on her way out?

"It's..."

It's because you saw me dancing with the heroine of the game and the lady was about to fall into darkness. I can't tell you what to say. I mumble.

"I hear it's after the dance with the second prince, but what did the prince do?

"No. The lady was returned on her way home because I acted unworthy as an escort and because of that I bought the lady's unhappiness"

"Undesirable behavior, huh? Does that mean that you left your daughter with the Second Prince and were dancing with the daughter of the Viscount Lindbell family?

"... did you know that much?"

You said you wanted to ask me something, but you probably knew it from the start.

I'm starting to feel like they're trying to figure out how to answer me.

... Probably not my fault. But if you see me dancing with a heroine and they find out you're jealous, they might not be able to stay with you.

"Lady Sophia and the Second Prince looked so good that I thought if I took my seat off, I could talk slowly. It's just... it wasn't the right thing to do as a partner."

"... I see, you claim that it was because your daughter saw through your thoughts?

"Yes, because the lady is smart."

The lady was not jealous, but dissatisfied with being scorned as a partner - and switches the lady's reaction.

"A little dissatisfied as a father... but a natural reply as a servant,"

"What is it?

"No, this is the story. How was the second prince better than that?

Sophia, it was a fever for the beauty of your lady - and so on, and you won't want to hear the answer I understand. What is required is whether or not you deserve to be the lady's counterpart.

I mean...

"Is your husband considering the engagement of your daughter and the second prince?

"I don't know yet. As one of the judgment materials, I'm asking for your opinion."

"Isn't that what servants say when I do?

"I don't mind. It's just one of the judgment materials."

I can seal the escape route.

Of course, as Lady Grave put it, my opinion will not dictate the outcome. But the fact remains that I gave my opinion.

I'm not going to say anything more to grieve her than could possibly go into the lady's ear. But at the same time, the second prince is the one the lady in the making loved so mad that she was jealous.

We should refrain from inadvertent statements in this situation more than we know what the future will be.

"Now we're still showing the right amount of youthfulness for the year, but any day we'll grow into a corner figure"

I mean, as Sophia's fiancée, you're telling me he deserved it, right?

"... it"

I cut the words there and swallowed the gokuri and the saliva. This one-time response shapes the future. Because it seemed that way.

But I'm Lady Sophia's dedicated butler. It's my job to make her happy. Therefore, the answer here is decided from the outset.

I put my strength into my stomach and stared straight at Lady Grave.

"- I would like to state that we should confirm your daughter's will."

"Hmm? You're talking about a political marriage, and you're asking me for my daughter's opinion?

"I am an apprentice, but I am the exclusive butler of Lady Sophia. That's what I wish most for, Sophia. Keep your daughter happy. There's nothing else."

If it doesn't lead to your daughter's happiness, it doesn't matter what happened to the Marquis. I was also prepared to buy the unhappiness, but Master Grave accidentally laughed.

"Come on. Right, check your daughter's will,"

"... Did you say something strange?

"No, not funny at all. But... it's passed."

"... pass, is it?

I couldn't ask what it was attached to.

Faster than that, because Master Grave opened his mouth again.

"At this time today, I will upgrade my skills from apprenticeship to formal deacon."

"- I accept it with all due respect"

All of a sudden I'm surprised, but I'm so ready for it. I drove my agitations and doubts into a corner and immediately graced my subordinates.

"As a student, I would like you to accompany me to Sofia, where I will be admitted to the middle school. I don't think it's necessary to educate my daughter."

"No, such care is unnecessary. If it's to be on your lady's side, I don't even hate being a student. Because I'm your daughter's... dedicated butler."

I proudly responded to becoming a formal dedicated butler.

At the same time, keep your mind on what's to come. Three years in the middle should be an important time for your daughter.

At the moment, for some reason, I'm the prince posi.

I'm not going to distract you from that fact, and I'm not happy about it. But I don't even look away from the reality that I'm just a butler and your daughter is a marquis.

I don't know what choice the lady will eventually make, but it's visible that if the heroine comes into intervention, the story will be more confusing.

But heroin is a junior nobleman.

Schools in Wangdu exist from the elementary school, but very few attend, and many children learn from tutors.

Especially in the case of lower aristocracy, for the reason that it is difficult for children of higher aristocracy to have a crude appearance, there are many cases where when they were in the elementary and secondary sectors, they were allowed to teach and only go to the higher levels.

Alicia in the making doesn't come into school unless she becomes a higher ministry for the same reason.

There is an episode where parents persuade me to reconsider and desist from enrolling in the middle department, hoping to reunite with the other person who saved me.

Therefore, there is a three-year moratorium until the situation becomes more difficult. By then, I want to keep the situation calm - that's what I think.

Then for a while, I thoroughly took care of my daughter's exams.

Even when it comes to taking exams, the goal is to classify by ability, and it's not difficult if you just pass. Nobles who are more educated than childhood rarely fail.

But Lady Sophia, the Marquis' maid, doesn't just say you should pass. I need to get the grade I deserve for that status.

That's why I looked into the contents of my past exams... but it was a complete concern.

The content of the written exam extends greatly in difficulty, from questions that anyone of the same age can solve to questions that even students in higher education can handle.

On average, if you score 80 points, you seem to be selected as the top performer.

However, even if it is a matter for the students of the High Ministry, the current lady will not struggle. Perhaps the Chairman, the Marquis' Lady, will be able to pass with the grades she deserves.

Instead, I thought it was the lady's mental state that worried her - but that one was surprisingly good. She's the same lady as before as if there wasn't anything at the party.

For one thing, so far... but...

That's why the exam day came, especially without any problems.

The school is located in the Wang capital, far from the territory of Rosenberg. My daughter and I, who had moved to a separate house in Wangdu beforehand, would take a carriage from that separate house to the school.

He soon entered the school on the corner of the Wang capital and got off the carriage near the school building. The walls of the school building are stapled with class breaking paper to take the exam.

"Lady, please wait while I check the test venue"

"Oh, I'll follow you, too, won't I?

It's a hassle to come back, isn't it? But I told you, the curiosity in your eyes isn't hidden. I guess I'm interested because I've never been in these situations before.

"Just do as the lady says - but wait here because it's dangerous"

"...... ha"

While smiling at the lady who looked a little obstinate, I entrusted the lady to the maid with "I'll take care of the lady," and stepped into the crowd in front of the school building.

Students are not only aristocrats, but also civilians. You can't take a lady to the crowd because it doesn't necessarily mean that some civilians have no grudges against nobility.

Someone suddenly bumped into me when I was on guard around to see if there were any dangerous people.

"Also, I'm sorry, are you okay?

I work out my magic and be vigilant, but it was the maid who bumped into me. Besides, she apologizes in a hurry. I can't feel any hostility from the way it is.

She repeated her apology and walked away because the lady was waiting. Though he seemed worried, his gaze turned to the maid's trends.

"Thank you for waiting. Your daughter's written exam seems to use the classroom in front of her on the ground floor"

"Oh well. Thanks for checking."

"It's a waste of time. More than that, ma'am. Are you sure it's a good idea to push off your parents' persuasion to enroll in the middle school?

"I have anxiety. But I really didn't want to give up."

I steal and ask conversations, but I still have nothing suspicious about them. This is the first time I have brought a lady to a place where there is an unspecified number of people, so I seem a little too alert.

Pushing off my parents' persuasion to go through the middle section is probably a junior aristocrat. I wonder how good you are or how uplifting a lady you are.

Maybe we'll be friends with Lady Sophia - and I let her imagine her gorgeous school life and let her down.
