Stop by the school on your return from the royal castle.

First class area of the compartment where the building stands. Sofia, when I showed my face to the building owned by the lady, the lights were on in the room that the Sofians usually use.

When I looked at who was there, Alicia and Pamela were making tea together.

"That, Mr. Cyril, didn't you go to the royal castle?

Alicia, who noticed me, waves gently and calls out innocently.

Beside it, Pamela just said hello and made a meeting. A lot less modest trick than Alicia...... no, this one is normal as a warrant lady.

"I'm returning from the royal castle. I just stopped by for a little while, so I'll be right back. It's rarer for you two to have tea together than that."

"I need to talk to you a little today. But it's not unusual, is it?

Pamela snorted again as Kyotong Alicia asked Pamela to agree.

"Have you two had an interaction for a long time?

"AC and everything, Pamela and I have been together a lot at Sophia's Tea Party, right?

"Yeah, because seats were often next door at tea parties, and classes are the same. Alicia and I have been friends for a long time."

Apparently, we've been friends since we got into the middle section.

Unmarked heroines in the Espressivo of Light and Darkness go hand in hand with those of the Evening Festival. I took that fact into account, but I might have been a little too nervous.

Thinking that way, Alicia stretched her pin and index finger beside her face.

"Mr. Cyril, by the way"

"Yes, what is it?

"Who were you meeting in the royal castle?

………………

I was accidentally silent. If you look me in the eye, I don't like it, but I can tell Alicia's misunderstanding. You think I was in close contact with Fol at the Royal Castle.

In the deputy voice: 'Are you having an affair with Master Sophia...?' It's going to sound like it. At least say, 'You can't cheat with someone other than me...?' Let's hope not.

For one thing, if you answer that you were seeing Dr. Tristan, you can understand the misunderstanding. But I don't really want people to know that I made contact with Dr. Tristan.

How to answer…

"Sorry, that was a stepped in question"

Alicia turned off the aura of darkness and laughed like a prank. Apparently, I noticed something was going on here.

It's great where you're pulling the trigger like this, and that's why you can't hate it.

"No, never mind. By the way, Pamela, how can I help you lady? From now on, there's something you've been saying."

Cut the conversation with Alicia and turn your gaze to Pamela, who is staring at me.

"Oh, no, I wanted to thank Mr. Cyril"

"Thank you, sir?

"Yes, Mr. Cyril would have taught our maid how to brew tea, wouldn't he? My parents were delighted to have a delicious cup of tea even at home."

Even we can drink delicious tea. It would be to say that the Earl of Ford welcomes Pamela's inclusion in the Sofia, not in the right way.

"I will be sure to tell the lady"

"No, I have already thanked Master Sophia. But you had Mr. Cyril's mouthpiece, like the potato thing, right? So I wanted to say thank you to Cyril."

"It's a waste of time."

I get thanksgiving if that's the case.

Alicia then gave me the same words of gratitude.

Both of them - or the parents seem to appreciate it a lot. Perhaps you are pleased to have been able to connect with Lady Sophia, the Marquis' courtier.

More than that - and I compare the two of them.

Alicia's favor... somehow, is easy to tell by the look on her face. But Pamela usually just seems to appreciate me.

Following my second prince Pozi, the possibility of my first prince Pozi still seems unlikely.

- That's why we had a light public talk with the two of us, then we went home.

Back at the mansion, Luche greeted me. This pattern made me think that Lady Sophia is royal in my room - but apparently not today.

"I'm practicing with Roy and Emma's salary, is that it?

"Yes, because the lady told me it would be better if I actually went through it"

Sophia, the slum kids the lady gave protection to. Nominally, Sophia, since the lady is the guardian of the two, she's practicing with you, something like that.

A normal lady wouldn't do that, but a lady takes better care of herself than she thought.

By the way, this is what Dr. Tristan told me, but Roy and Emma appear at the Night Before Festival - precisely in an unmarked side story that is in the Night Before Festival.

Roy and Emma popping up in front of the carriage was still an event, apparently. But the original Sofia lady hated civilians because of her maid's abuse.

Therefore, they get rid of the two children who are slums.

That's how Roy and Emma, driven away, are brought back to the Dark Alliance. Emma will be taken guests in the Dark Alliance, and Roy will be returned to his parents, but will be part of the Dark Alliance later, hopefully.

Then time flies, and Emma buys some information. That was the information on the plan that Lady Sophia was hiring to relax and make Alicia attack.

Although in the unmarked original, I negotiate with the no-name and hire the no-name to relax, I was set to betray the no-name and expose the evil...

Roy and Emma were involved in the consolidation of the evidence, according to the side story of the eve festival. This means that Lady Sophia was herself breaking one of the ruin flags.

In the original, the lady, who was the subject of revenge, is admired by Roy and Emma, and the lady adores them both again. Proof that you are on a different path from the villain warrant lady at the same time as it is a testament to your daughter's growth.

It was very, very emotional - and I looked at the dining room, the scene where I was practicing my service, as my chest felt dizzy.

He said he was practicing his service, but he actually seems to be having dinner.

Sophia, there are warm dishes lined up in front of the lady. Only one dish in it was accompanied by dishes that differed in thrust from other dishes.

Cooking mixed with potatoes, meat, etc. That, Sophia. When the lady takes the pottery vessel in her hand, she clearly gives Emma a tense bare gesture.

Only that one dish, I guess, is the dish made by Emma.

Sophia, the lady stretched her chopsticks to Emma's cooking.

Incidentally, chopsticks originally did not exist in the Ephenian country. Neighbouring countries - that is, cultures that have come in from the Flamefield Empire.

This neighborhood seems to have shared the culture of the country I lived in in in my previous life with both countries.

Anyway, the lady who used chopsticks to carry potatoes and meat into her mouth chewed elegantly, her eyes narrowed and a small smile appeared.

That smile, reassuring just to watch, was a solid reflection of Emma's efforts.

"The taste of the meat is well dyed in the potatoes, and then the potatoes don't break in shape. Exquisite addition and subtraction, very tasty. Well done, Emma."

"... thank you"

Looks like a maid on the job, minimal joy. But my little hand was squeezing the hem of my skirt tightly. I guess I started working in the cafeteria as a social study and worked hard for a while.

And seeing Emma praised, Roy looks somewhat remorseful or envious. These brothers and sisters are close, and that makes them seem like rivals.

"- Oh."

And, Sophia, the lady failed to put the chopsticks on the vessel. The chopsticks roll by and on the table, rolling straight down onto the carpet.

Sophia, the lady hurries and pulls the chair to pick up that chopstick.

"Ma'am, I'll pick it up"

As soon as Roy gently stopped Lady Sophia and picked up the chopsticks and cleaned them up, he served the replacement chopsticks in front of Lady Sophia.

The Sophia lady who sees it smiles again.

"Roy, too, you've been able to handle it well. We haven't both been around for a year yet, but I seem to be very sophisticated, and I have a very high nose."

So much manipulation - I deliberately tried to pick up the chopsticks I dropped myself. I guess it was the lady's act from where I let her drop the chopsticks.

Perhaps I created an opportunity for you to praise Roy as well as Emma. I can't help but drop my chopsticks, but I'm very much your sister where I do that for Roy.

"You're all growing up..."

Thanks to Cyril.

Luche, who was silently following me, responds to my whining.

"It's not just Roy or Emma. Lady Sophia has been working very hard every day trying to repay you."

"You're right about the effort, but I didn't do anything to reward you."

The lady needs to behave as she deserves, and Roy and Emma need to work hard to protect their place again. If we fail to demonstrate that strength, we will lose our immediate environment.

But against me, Luche sighs at this sight.

"Cyril, you don't understand. Roy and Emma know perfectly well that they wouldn't have been saved without your push. It's the same for Lady Sophia."

Sophia, I'm guessing you're talking about a past where a lady was harassed by some maids. Luche was involved in that one.

But...

"Isn't it arrogant of me to think that just because I helped once, I work hard to reward that favor all the time, etc?

"No, that's not true. 'Cause I'm one of those people who wants to reward you."

I look at Luche's face in surprise. The face has a pranky grin, as usual. But those eyes weren't serious and laughing.

"... Rouche?

"Cyril called me that day, so I could stay here. Thanks to that, I was able to rebuild my parents' business, and I really appreciate it, right?

"Sophia, it just fulfilled your daughter's request."

That's what I should have said that day. Continue, but Luche shook his head quietly beside him.

"I know Cyril is that kind of person. But that's how you affect all sorts of people. If you don't get that right, you're in big trouble, aren't you?

I can't tell you how hard it is to be a second prince posi, or heroin posi, or already - even if my mouth is torn. Keeping it in mind, I laughed bitterly in response.

"Ah, Dr. Cyril!

"What, master? Really. Master, did you see what I did for you?

"I tried my best to cook, too!

The two of you noticed me flying in on Lady Sophia's service. The service was very good until just now, but I sigh that that doesn't work at all.

But a Sophia lady who followed those two and walked over moved her lips without saying a word to her voice to praise her behind them.

... I don't have a choice.

"Both of us, the last thing that distracted us was the diminution. But..."

With a bitter laugh, I put my palm on Roy's head.

"You missed your move in a little while. Besides, Sophia, my lady's decision when she tried to pick up her own chopsticks was sober. Is that what you did in the dining room? Well done."

I stroke that head squeamishly. Then I turned to Emma, who looked full of anticipation when I said it was my turn now, right?

"Emma, you've sophisticated your movements before. Besides, the food..."

It looks very tasty. Sophia, if you look at the reaction of the lady, it's an unquestionable fact that it's actually tasty, but you should about taste it.

I picked potatoes and meat as if you'd read my thoughts like that. Chopsticks were offered with a plate. The culprit is... Sophia, the lady.

What are you doing? Or, you know, the lady's eating, right? Or maybe you encouraged them to praise you both for that? And?

Some scratches crossed the back of my brain, but I gave up my thoughts, grabbed Lady Sophia's wrist and ate her potatoes and meat-picked chopsticks.

The taste of potato-dyed gravy spreads through your mouth. Some nostalgic flavour that reminds me of a previous life, a little different from the flavour of the cuisine I eat in this world, in an aristocratic society.

Emma is going to be a good daughter-in-law in the future - though I can't really flag her ruin.

"You're doing well. It's delicious."

I praised Roy just as I praised him and caressed his head gently. She's the Sophia lady who subtly interacted with the two of them and ran ahem, but she's not going to intervene any more.

He looks happy Roy and Emma and smiles.

Sometimes I get jealous, but I also have a good outlook. Dragged by the story of the eve festival, it doesn't look like Lady Sophia is going to be a villain warrant again.

So relieved. Turn to me, Sophia. Open your mouth, as the lady remembers.

"With that said, Brother Ernest, who has cut off his plans to study abroad, is returning" -.
