It was the fourth day since we had been traveling with the Duke.
We arrived at the capital of Loureshou.
「 Euphy had never been in the capital of this country before, right? 」
「 Yes. I visited Marquis de Blaureite with my Father when I was young, but this is my first time in the royal capital. Loureshou is considered to be a medium-sized country or larger, so it’s a busy place 」
The capital is located east of the center of Loureshou, it’s where the country’s trade routes converge and it’s said to serve as a hub.
Perhaps because of that, many stores and street vendors were lined up around the outer perimeter of the area, showing a lively performance.
It’s probably because of the economic power generated by this bustle that they’re able to stay as the royal family, one above the five major aristocratic families.
Marquis of Blaureite was prosperous, but not as much as this.
The carriage turns away from the noisy streets and heads toward the center of the royal capital on a calm road.
We’ll be taken to the Duke’s residence where we’ll be taken care of.
I hugged Nia from behind as she loosened out of the small window of the carriage, and together, we enjoyed the view of the royal city.
I also didn’t forget to grope her breasts.
Noticing that, Nia reacts cutely, saying “Geez,” but it can’t be helped, I’m the type who would die without physical contact.
Oh, her nipples are poking out.
She complains at first, and yet she accepts it in the end. What an amazing animal-eared beauty.
After continuing for a while, the carriage goes through the gate to the mansion, and there we see a huge two-story western-style building.
The exterior is well made, but for a moment, I thought that a Western-style house from a certain zombie game had appeared.
「 Ooh, what a nice room 」
「 This is a good room. This is probably the result of Daiki-sama deepening his relationship with the Duke. He seems a difficult person, but it’s amazing that you easily swayed them 」
Shortly after arriving, we’re shown to our room immediately.
The room is so luxurious that not only Nia but also Euphy voiced her opinions about it as if it were a room for a noble.
I was given two rooms, but the other one’s slightly lower grade.
Still, the rooms were several times better than the inns.
Even so, hearing that from Euphy didn’t feel right.
We just had a drink, did it look that way to her?
Euphy had a part of her where she thought that my casual behavior had meaning.
I think she’s a little blind, but she’s cute so why bother.
After being guided to our rooms, I changed my clothes before meeting the duke’s daughter, who was the center of my purpose for coming to the capital this time.
The servant leads me to what’s supposed to be a dining room, where I find the duke behind a wide-open door and a girl nearby.
Guoooh!?
There’s a beauty different from Euphy and Nia.
「 How was your room, miss Euphilite? If you find anything amiss, just tell the servants 」
「 Thank you, I can’t find any flaws at all. Thank you for giving us a nice room 」
「 That’s great. Take a seat 」
As the duke prompts, Euphy takes a seat right beside him in the upper section.
Nia and I were waiting behind Euphy.
The Duke, catching a glimpse of the situation, speaks up.
「 Silka, greet them 」
While I was surprised at the cold tone he spoke with his daughter, the girl stood up.
「 I’m Silka. Pleased to meet you all 」
She’s super cute.
The first thing that caught my eye about her appearance was her silver hair with lengths reaching down her waist.
I’ve seen similar colors a few times in this world, but I’ve never seen silver hair that feels so innocent.
She’s got a nice and sleek bangs cut just above her eyes.
Also, I’m looking at the ears because that’s something I don’t have.
Just as the human ears have a diversity of shapes, so do elven ears. And her long thin ears seem to be the most beautiful among the elves I’ve seen.
Her height’s about between Euphy and Nia, I guess.
She’s petite and slender.
Euphy and Nia may have thin bodies, but Silka’s slenderness has nothing to do with exercise, or being weak.
Her face seems younger than the 15-year-old that the Duke told me beforehand.
Euphy and Nia both have a high ratio of cuteness, but she’s got a face that leans toward beauty when she grows up, meanwhile, Nia’s build suggests that she’ll maintain her cuteness in the future.
Her big eyes are a little sleepy, and her eyebrows are also shaped like an inverted “ハ” Perhaps she inherited that from the Duke, who always creases and raises his eyebrows.
It seems to ride short a little above her eyes, probably because it’s thin and has the same silver color as her hair.
Also, she’s wearing a thin white dress where you can see the curves of her figure, and her breasts are much more puffed up than Euphy.
This is just a pure thought, I want to massage those.
She faced Euphy with a light greeting, then she faced me and gave me a stare.
I stare back into those eyes that seem to suck me in, then she quickly dropped her gaze.
Is she embarrassed?
No, that didn’t feel like it.
There was an air of dullness around her, but it must be my imagination.
So this is Silka, the duke’s daughter who has been a topic so many times.
Is the second prince serious about switching with another girl and abandoning this one?
Could it be that his girl is even cuter?
Hmm, we all have our preferences, I guess I won’t be surprised if it is also another Euphy-like girl.
No, I still wouldn’t want to switch.
After the greetings, the Duke returns to Silka-chan with a stern look.
「 As you have heard, miss Euphilite is the daughter of Baron de Kroul, under the command of Marquis de Blaureite. She had fought an illness until half a year ago, and she finally recovered, and she hopes to attend school by next year. However, her body weakened due to the long illness. So, she will be spending time in school to test if she can handle the school life 」
Just as the Duke narrated, Euphy will be introduced as Baron de Kroul’s daughter to infiltrate the school.
They’re not going to let in a daughter of a noble from a fallen country, so we needed a disguise.
This country doesn’t manage the noble families outside the royal blood, so just introducing yourself as someone from a baron family, or a lower noble house will let you get in without issues.
「 I’m Euphilite. I’m looking forward to being with you for the short time I’ll be attending 」
After the Duke introduced her, Euphy rose from her seat and greeted her.
She’s letting out a much more calm aura than usual, she’s acting.
Euphy’s greeting was over, and the Duke had the two of them sit down.
「 Normally, you should be in a school dormitory, but Marquis de Blaureite asked her to go to the school from this mansion as a trial. It’ll take a few more days before she goes to school, but help her out as much as you can. The people in the back are Euphilite’s servants. The maid will accompany her to school, so remember her face. Don’t take this lightly 」
Nia and I were standing behind Euphy because we were here as her servants.
Nia’s wearing a maid outfit prepared for her, and she’s being quiet.
I’m standing next to her, wearing my servant clothes.
As the Duke said, Euphy and Nia will be companions going to the school.
Normally, they’re not allowed to walk around with servants, but since Euphy’s setting is that she was sick, she was given permission.
I asked for that.
I mean, I’m worried about having Euphy sneak around the school by herself.
This all happened because I found out later that I wasn’t allowed in the school.
There are lots of reasons, but the most important one is that if outsiders were allowed into the school, there would be opportunities for intervention in various matters, and it would become difficult to control the situation.
As for why Nia’s given a permit, it was because she didn’t seem like she’d meddle with politics.
I guess that’s how they view a commoner maid girl.
As for what I think about not getting into the school, I’m actually frustrated.
When I first heard about school, I thought that I’d be able to see the cute young ladies at the same age as Euphy and girls having fun and chatting.
It’s frustrating that I can’t go.
It’s so frustrating that when I found out about it, I thought my fist would bleed from my grip.
That’s how much I wanted to be in the flower garden of noble ladies.
Well, there are some guys there too.
That being the case, I don’t need to accompany them on this one, but that doesn’t mean that I can send Euphy on her own.
I should probably stay over there and have one of the knights accompany me because of the Adicilton house and business, but that’s not a problem because I have my teleport.
Well, I don’t really give orders to the knights, and my business is only distributing goods, so there’s not much work to be done.
It’s a good opportunity to increase the number of places I can teleport to, and the knights of Adicilton have their old job and also escorting job, so there are no vacancies.
With that said, after the meals had started, I began attending to Euphy-ojousama as her servant.
