Two young ladies wearing rough dresses enjoy a cup of herbal tea on the Duke’s terrace.
On one side is Euphy, a beautiful blonde-haired blue-eyed girl who’s closely related to me and my hands touch her body in places nobody else has.
She smiles kindly and takes one of the baked goods,, graciously eating it.
Even from an outsider world like me, I always think she’s well behaved but today she’s much more polite than usual.
In front of her is Silka-chan, the daughter of Duke Carlitz. Her long silver hair flutters with the wind and strokes her cheeks, She smiles a bit stiffly and drinks tea,
Hmm, she looks much more beautiful than in the video.
Seeing her in person, I get a strong frail ambiance from her.
Also, the fact that she always has servants around lets her look like a composed young lady
It’s a big difference from the unmotivated air she gave off in school.
Then, there’s Nia who wears a maid uniform, a genius in cuteness, serving them.
Even today, her small head has her ears wagging, and her thick tail with a dark tip is shaking.
However, she’s a little overwhelmed as she’s doing a task she hasn’t learned yet.
That part is cute too.
I want to do that newbie maid and master play again.
I look at the girls and watch them from afar in my servant’s clothing.
It’s not that I’m slacking off.
There’s a reason why I’m far away.
Euphy looked sorry that it had to be like this.
Normally, she treats me like her lord, and so if I look like I have a lower status, she takes it personally.
For me, I remember my part-time job era so I enjoy it, and I’m looking after beautiful girls so I’m fine with it.
And so, I’m on escort duty for Euphy so I’m a little further from them, I just watch the beautiful girls from a distance.
It’s been a few days since Silka-chan moved to this mansion.
At first, I was preparing for what would happen later, but nothing had happened yet as we were waiting for Marquis Blaureite to do something.
The distance between the two sides takes around four days of carriage to travel so there’s no reply yet.
Therefore, I’m having such a relaxing time.
However, the duke doesn’t intend to sit idly and wait, meeting and talking with the nobles until evening.
But, that didn’t turn anything around, so he came home and started drinking until retiring to bed.
So my impressions of the servants in this mansion are pretty good.
Because that guy hits his servants strongly.
He often takes out his frustrations on the servants, especially when he’s drunk
I once saw him throwing a liquor bottle.
He had no intention to hit, but that startled me.
Still, he seems to fancy me so when I’m with him, he’s docile and there are no victims, so the servants and the butler near the Duke are grateful. As a result, their treatment of Nia and Euphy has also improved.
Still, because of the smell, the two don’t sleep with me, and I would say that’s closer to a death sentence.
Well, we got the day for ourselves so it’s fine.
I’m thinking about doing some kind of play with Euphy on her lady dress and the difference in status, and then I felt some gaze on me.
Hmm…
The three of them are looking at me.
Euphy’s calling me?
I kept my distance, but since the lady’s calling me, I had to go.
I stood next to Euphy and she spoke without looking this way.
「 Silka-sama, I have something to tell you 」
She looks apologetic, but she seems to have a lot to say.
I feel like her language is different from usual, but there’s something different in her.
That aside, it’s not Euphy but Silka-chan that has business with me?
When she turned to me, her eyebrows were frowning and I couldn’t seem to understand what she was thinking.
「 What could it be? 」
「 Kotori. Thank you for talking to Father 」
I see. She’s thinking of me for dealing with her drunk father.
「 It’s an honor for people like me to talk to the Duke, so I need no thanks 」
「 I hear from the servants that you’ve been keeping him company. Father is a busy man so he doesn’t seem aware of it, so if you’d like something, I may be able to give it to you as my thanks 」
「 A reward you say? 」
She’s showing humility, but I’m glad she wants to show her gratitude.
But, this feels wrong to take something from her.
I personally don’t like to drink with the Duke, but it’s a good experience since I can drink good alcohol in this world.
But, refusing here would be an insult to her.
That’s how nobles think.
Still, that’s troubling.
There’s nothing I can come up with right now.
If you ask me what I want to do, I have a lot.
For example, touching a delicate part of her body.
Well, I can’t say that so what now?
While I was resisting answering that I wanted to rub my head on Silka-chan’s breasts, she spoke up, looking at me.
「 If you don’t have anything now, you can tell me later. If you find something you want, please tell me 」
「 Thank you very much. I’ll put it on hold for now 」
I can’t come up with anything yet so it helps.
That seems to be the end of the conversation, but since there are only a few opportunities for conversations, I’ll chat for a bit.
「 Still, I’m glad that Silka-sama’s doing well. I heard that it was a painful experience, Euphilite-ojousama and of course, we too were worried. Besides, the Duke is too proud to forgive those who have done that. It’s normal to show some resentment 」
While I kept my remarks as much of a servant as possible and tried to butter her up, Silka-chan’s lips bent differently.
I thought I was communicating nicely, but I noticed that only her mouth was smiling but not her eyes.
「 Fu, fufu… Me? Resent that person? Fufufufu…That can’t be. There’s no way I can get angry from that much…. 」
Oh shit.
Did I step on a landmine?
I see some flame coming from her eyes, even though her gaze isn’t changing.
I thought she was pleased about the cancellation of the engagement, but she seemed to be angry.
Oh well.
Breaking the engagement is something she’s happy about, but that doesn’t mean she’s not pissed off at the second prince abandoning her one-sidedly.
That’s a pattern where anger builds up over time.
「 A-As expected of Silka-sama. You’ve got such a tolerant mind. Well then, I will return to my post.
Hmm, I failed that interaction.
I should withdraw for now.
I apologized to Euphy and Nia with my gaze then left to escape the bad mood, returning to my escort duties.
