Early the next morning, Master Grave summoned me to the office. Sophia, I was wary that the late night tea party with the lady had found out, but I wasn't talking about happiness or misfortune or that.

I can't tell you how lucky I was because they pointed me out that I was moving a lot.

"Cyril, you seem to be moving a lot behind you."

I cannot answer the words of Master Grave, the head of the Rosenberg Marquis.

No, you can't possibly answer that.

Lady Sophia and I were chosen as guides only because Lady Grave responded to the country's request. I mean, my actions are against Master Grave's will.

I'm Lady Sophia's exclusive butler, but my employer is Lady Grave. It is not strange to be necked if it were meant to be against his will.

However, since I am now also a guide to Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte, there will be no immediate neck if not so much...

Cyril, your thoughts are on your face.

"- Excuse me."

As always, I see through this one.

As a butler, not putting what you're thinking on your face is fundamental in the basics. That's why I take great care not to put it on my face... it doesn't work for Master Grave, does it?

But... that's crazy.

This one has been found out and even thought through. Because how come you're not stabbing a nail at it?

... Oh, well, you know what?

It's self-evident if you think about it.

Even Ernest Boy, who was a normal brother in the original, is making a class change to Ciscon against an adorably raised Sophia lady. There is no way that Master Grave, who even the original ruined the engagement the way his daughter wanted it, would approve of an engagement that was not in keeping with her daughter's intentions.

But then why did you take on the guide?

It's not a natural decision if you're going to let me get engaged. But if you're not going to let me get engaged, it would have been best to say no to the guide away at the time he was asked to.

As a matter of fact, His Royal Highness doesn't feel like it, and Lady Grave knows that fact, or something? No, with that kind of circumstance, there's no way my sister would know about the Night Before Festival scenario.

"Cyril, aren't you going to answer my question?

"No, never such a thing"

I can't get my thoughts together, but Lady Grave's love for her daughter is real. For example, the attempt to escape his pursuit here would be bad.

"As you know, Master Grave, I'm moving a lot behind me."

"What's that for?

"Of course, Sophia, to make your daughter's wish come true."

"Are you saying that's not in the interest of the Marquis Rosenberg family, but to give priority to his daughter's wishes? Do you understand that my employer is not Sophia, but this me?

"Even if my employer is Master Grave, the one I serve is Lady Sophia. Therefore, my top priority is to keep Lady Sophia happy."

The blue eyes of the Marquis, who would have worthy of the other nobles, caught me straight. Those eyes contain a strong willingness not to tolerate deception.

I open my thirsty mouth to his voice telling me to keep going.

"I have declared that in this room before. And when you heard about it, you raised me to the official deacon who was an apprentice. It was you who acknowledged my thoughts."

"Hmm, I did say that then. But things have changed now."

"Even so, my top priority is nothing more than what Lady Sophia wants"

If you don't like it, you can fire it or whatever. I look straight at my employer with that much temper.

Eventually, Master Grave raised his voice and began to laugh.

"Damn, I didn't know I could throw up the same line as that day in this situation."

"... Master Grave?

"No, I'm sorry. Let me give it a try."

The answer to the question of what it means to try - came right back.

I was still an apprentice then, in a position to go up there. It's not uncommon for a person like that to have an adventure and thrust into a grump.

However, I have now become the sole deacon of Lady Sophia and am in a position to protect her position.

Even under that circumstance - I mean, he didn't fear losing his position, and he wanted to know the answer to whether he could prioritize the wishes of Lady Sophia.

"Let's apologize for trying that."

"No, you don't need an apology"

Lady Grave and I have little chance of making contact like this. It's only natural to wonder if I have the same temper to protect Lady Sophia as before.

To me thinking so, Lady Grave laughed, "If so -".

"Let's not apologize, but as a sign of trust, but let's not pursue what we did."

"It's..."

It means spilling your eyes, and I didn't make it clear that you were responsible for my discretion.

But Master Grave is the head of the Rosenberg Marquis. I'm not talking about excusing myself for not knowing later. Therefore, this is the same as condoning.

"Well, let's talk about the plan to meet Master Grave's trust, too."

"No, you don't have to."

"... what?

There was an unexpected voice-out.

I don't know how far Master Grave is grasping my plan. But the same is true of the fact that we entrust the end of the Rosenberg Marquis family to a single butler.

"You think anything's reckless?

For a moment, I was under the illusion that I had voiced my thoughts. That's how Lady Grave pronounced the word at a time that was in tune with the voice of my heart.

"That's too much for your face."

"I'm sorry. We will refine it."

Realize your lack of clarity.

Right now, there are only kids around, but if you enter the social world, the adult nobles will be the ones to deal with. Then I guess more people will read this look just like Grave did.

I need to be able to fix it faster than the day comes.

"I was just allowed to hear what that was for, but it was a leap. Therefore, there is no need for explanation. Stand back and do your part."

"... thank you, I know"

It is unacceptable for a butler to throw questions primarily without permission. The fact that I was not asked for an explanation also means that I did not get a chance to ask questions here either.

Maybe Master Grave didn't want to answer why he took on the guide...... how dare you think a little too much?

Either way, it doesn't make any difference what I do.

Sophia, all you have to do is push forward to grasp the end that the lady wants. Think so and turn back your heels. On the verge of my leaving the room, Lady Grave can hold me back.

- Cyril, say hello to my daughter.

"Accepted. Sophia, if anyone threatens your lady's happiness, even if it's the gods, let's be sure to eliminate them."

After I finish my dialogue with Lady Grave, I'm going to school with Lady Sophia.

Only a small amount of time to head to school while the carriage rocks is an opportunity to communicate with Lady Sophia without anyone interrupting her.

"Cyril, what are your plans after school today?

"Lady Sophia is visiting the Rose Garden with Her Royal Highness Prince Harold."

"Is Cyril with you?

"No, I'm supposed to do research with Her Royal Highness Princess Charlotte, so for Lady Sophia, Luche, and Roy and Emma will be offering it to you"

"Really..."

Sophia, the lady's long lashes fell silent.

"Lady Sophia, I haven't been able to see you study or arch lately, but have you had any trouble at school?

"That's okay, but..."

Sophia, the lady clouded her words and missed her face.

"What, was it also a problem?

"I wonder if I'd like to be with Cyril a little more, I don't know"

The lady who comes pointing upwards is too cute. Looks like the nostalgic lady from last night hasn't hidden yet. The lady noticed that too, waved her hands to delude herself.

"Also, of course, I know Cyril is busy. So you're not going to be selfish, are you? I was just wondering if I'd want to..."

"Right. We're busy with each other right now, but when we're done with this, let's head somewhere."

"... Huh? Is that true?

"Yes. What would a lady like?

"I like the harbor town I went to for sleepover. Did you know? The civilians swim and play in the ocean, right? I'd like to swim in the ocean too."

The sea, huh?

If we're really going to swim in the ocean, Sophia, we need to get a lady's bathing suit. But such a Sophia lady's wishes will surely not come true.

... No, Sophia, it's my job to make what your lady wants come true.

"Well, let's go play when it's warm"

"It's true, it's a promise, right?

"Yes, I promise"

I swore to myself as a butler that I would make it happen.

While doing so, he enters the school grounds and the carriage stops in front of the school building. I got off the carriage first and offered my hand to Lady Sophia.
