Just two days after I arrived at the Perdalos estate, Delphina’s face became remarkably comfortable.

The reason my sister was tired even before my arrival was because of the kindness of Prince Antonio, who wanted to accept her without any conditions.

Delphina seemed quite satisfied with the fact that it had turned into a clear contract in a form she could recognize.

Her attitude towards Prince Antonio also seemed to have become more comfortable.

Although he still hadn’t figured out what was the root cause of his favor towards her.

“Oh, brother. Come to think of it, I forgot to tell you.”

“yes.”

“Actually, tomorrow morning, Prince Antonio said he would lend me a carriage back to the academy. He said that if he died alone, he would be hostile, and since the destination was the same anyway, let’s go together.

I’m going to ask Prince Antonio, if you don’t mind, how about having my brother sit with you?”

Listening to what this young lady is saying, who is trying to lightly blow away his request for a date, which is obvious to anyone.

It was fortunate if it was truly fortunate that Prince Antonio was not here right now.

Delfina is like this, but I have to pay attention to what to do.

“Thank you for your words, but I still have work to do in the manor.”

“Oh, is that so?”

“So if you are going back tomorrow with Prince Antonio, Delfina, you should go alone. There won’t be much to talk about about the planned city to be built on the territory.”

“… Well, that’s it too. If it weren’t for this opportunity, there wouldn’t be time to talk to the prince while avoiding the eyes of others.”

It’s really not like we’re just talking about work in the carriage and going all the way to the academy.

I should have worried about that, but it was Prince Antonio’s role to solve it anyway, not me.

I had done all I had to do by simply stepping out of my role as a hindrance.

After confirming that the carriage of the two people, half worried, left Perdalos the day before.

I stayed at the manor for another day to take a short break.

I told Delphina that I was leaving late because there was still work to do in Perdalos, but there was no such thing.

So, let’s spend this unintentional break a little leisurely.

I’ve had a really busy and exhausting day in the North, so I should be able to take a break like this.

‘Smart smart.’

With that thought in mind, I was sitting at my desk, leaning on my chin, and flipping through the pages of a simple magic book.

A familiar voice came from beyond the door, as if he hadn’t heard it in a long time.

“Do, Bocchan. This is Rene.”

“come in.”

profit. The apprentice maid opened the door with a sound and crept into my room.

First of all, looking at the basic etiquette to some extent, it seems that she worked hard to learn maid work while I was gone.

Although things like gaze processing and facial expression management are still lacking.

“It’s better than before.”

“Go, thank you!”

“So, what happened?”

“Bocchan’s mother, that, that’s why, ta, tai, isn’t it? The Viscount’s wife said to call the young master… .”

“… My mother’s name is Tanasia, not Taiani.”

“I’m sorry!!”

It must have been more than a year since I started working in this mansion due to the period.

I never thought I would have memorized the name of the hostess I see almost every day.

It seemed that there was still a long way to go to get rid of the probationary maid label.

“Come to think of it, it seems like I haven’t seen you since I returned to the mansion. Did you take a vacation for a few days?”

“Ah, no, the general butler… .”

“Why Jack?”

“Because you might cause trouble to outside guests by any chance, hide when Prince Antonio is around… .”

As expected, it was a wise decision worthy of a general butler who manages the entire mansion.

He quietly nodded at his insight and got up from his seat at the desk.

“Where is your mother?”

“He is in the office on the first floor… .”

“Okay, I’ll go down now.”

I closed the book I was reading and put it on the desk, then walked past her to the door.

Just before leaving the room, a question suddenly popped into my head.

“Rine, I’m asking just in case.”

“Yeah?”

“Are you remembering my name properly?”

It was a question that started with the fact that I forgot the name of the hostess I see every day, so I couldn’t remember my name as I spend most of the year outside.

What came back from Rinne was a surprisingly normal answer.

“Yeah? Isn’t that Master Conrad Perdalos?”

“Oh, what is it? You even remember my name.”

“Of course! Last summer, before you left, you left after cursing at me about not being able to get out of being a trainee maid!”

“… … yes?”

“I remember every name of the person who said something unpleasant to me!!”

“… … .”

“… … oh.”

Realizing belatedly what kind of mistake she had made, she hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands.

Her disrespectful attitude had already passed through my ears.

“Do, young master… . That’s not what I said… .”

“Alice!!!”

“Oh no! You can’t be the head maid!!”

Still, I couldn’t imagine the future where this child gets the apprentice maid ticket.

⁎ ⁎ ⁎

After guiding Line, who was being dragged like a lamb in a slaughterhouse by the hands of the maid, Alice, she immediately moved to the office on the first floor.

Although, honestly, I came to know that he had a disrespectful attitude to the point of wanting to cut it off.

Still, as much as I had seen her last with my own two eyes in my previous life, I hadn’t made up my mind to do so.

He just said that it would be better to teach the head maid more about the maid’s mindset and how to hide her emotions, and stopped disciplinary at the line of handing over Line.

Even in this gentle Perdalos mansion, if I had driven out that tomboy who was hard to bear, I would have been lying on the side of the road without lasting three days.

Because it was my mindset to rewrite as many people as possible.

Above all, he already knew well through his experiences in his previous life that he was not a child with a bad nature.

It’s just that my talent as a maid is a bit lacking.

With that thought in mind, I opened the door to the office on the first floor, and the first thing I saw was my mother, who was working with two servants on either side.

“Did you call, Mother?”

“Yes, Conrad. It’s a little later than I thought.”

“I’m a little late because I handed Linen to Ellis.”

“… don’t bother too much Still, he’s not a bad kid.”

“It’s fine.”

Still, I had to fix what had to be fixed, so it was something I couldn’t help but do.

“What did you call me for, Mother?”

“Has Delphina started for the academy?”

“Yes, in the morning, I took the same carriage as Prince Antonio and set off for the academy.”

“Then now we can talk a little bit about Delphina. Mary, Biz, could you please leave for a moment?”

“Yes, Miss Tanasia.”

After confirming that the twin maids were away from the office, the mother opened her mouth again.

“First of all, thank you for solving this problem. Because if she hadn’t had a son, Delfina would have lived with her heart’s debt to Prince Antonio Alexandros.”

“Did your mother notice Prince Antonio’s intentions when he said that it was a debt of the heart, not a material one?”

“There must be several reasons why the noble royal family would dare to set foot in this country estate.

At first, I was dubious about the prince’s words about building a planned city in the Perdalos estate, but all my doubts were resolved after I realized that the gaze he was looking at Delphina for a few days was strange.”

As expected of the daughter of Count Alias, her ability to read people’s emotions seemed to be in good shape.

“Then you must have noticed Delphina’s feelings for Prince Antonio.”

“It’s in your head. If you pretend, you’re pretending.

Delphina is also so insensitive, so Prince Antonio must suffer a lot too.”

“Delphina has a good sense of the other side too.”

“What can I do? Originally, the goodwill flying towards oneself is not well noticed. Even my mom didn’t notice the kindness your dad sent her until her days at the academy.”

Of course, I don’t know what my parents look like when I was in the academy, but anyway, if it’s to the extent that I didn’t notice the favor of my father with a big personality.

In the end, it was said that Delphina’s insensitivity was most likely her mother’s genetics.

“And are you in a position to tell others that you are?”

“Yeah?”

“I heard the story from Delphina. From what I heard, they say that they seduced all kinds of girls at the academy.”

“Perhaps Delphina is misunderstanding.”

“Hmm, so?”

After saying that, my mother began spitting out the names of the women who were presumed to have come out of Delphina’s mouth, one by one, as if she wanted to get inside me.

“I heard that you are close with a commoner prisoner girl named Lulu Laila.”

“Lulu? Are you a close friend with a good heart? Thanks to an incident that happened in the 2nd semester of the 1st year, we got close once and we are maintaining a good relationship after that.”

“I heard that you are friendly with the forest elves of the World Tree. The wand you brought this time also seems to be made from the World Tree.”

“I got to know Xian-senpai through an accidental opportunity at a hunting festival. The staff was also made from the material of the world tree that he found while visiting the forest of the world tree.”

“Do you know what it means for elves to let other races into the World Tree forest… ? Also, what is the material for the world tree that was obtained… ?”

“Since I am a mage, it was just a suggestion that I wanted to increase my magical power sensitivity. If you attach too much meaning to such things, Xian-senpai will feel rather burdened.

It’s hard to say what happened when I obtained the material for the World Tree because it’s a bit sensitive to talk about outside, but you can rest assured that there’s no friction with the elves anyway.”

The mother, who had a puzzled expression on her face, let out a small sigh and then came up with new names.

“What about the lady named Stella from the Arwen family?”

“I am a junior in the swordsmanship department. We became close after helping some of the slightly disrespectful students at the beginning of the semester when they were in trouble.”

“I heard that the saintess of the Orthodox Church is especially kind to you, Conrad?”

“Saint Clare is originally a kind person to everyone.”

“There are rumors that you have a special relationship with the third daughter of the Margrave of Warburg, who is personally close to Delphina.

This wasn’t something I heard through Delfina, but something I heard directly from my mother at a meeting of nobles.

Rumors about me and Hilla had already spread enough to reach my mother’s ears.

He only made a fuss about whether or not to get engaged, but he properly interfered with her prosperous future.

“Certainly, Hela can see me as having rational feelings.”

“Since when did you start calling the lady of the Margrave of Warburg so casually?”

“But the feelings Hilla feels for me are probably not because she likes me as a member of the opposite sex, but because of her longing for a brother.

I heard that the fact that Delphina told Hilla about me a few times piqued her curiosity.”

“… … .”

“The rumors will probably die down in a few years, so my mother won’t mind too much.”

Although, in the sense of reassurance, I solved every single question my mother had about me.

For some reason, it felt like the longer the story went on, the deeper the wrinkles around her eyes grew.

“… Conrad.”

“Yes, mother.”

“If you don’t want your whole body to be torn to pieces someday, be careful from now on.”

“Yeah?”

“… It’s nothing, go in.”

My mother sent me out with a tired voice as if she was suddenly feeling tired.

Even after I came out of the office, I still couldn’t understand what my mother meant, so I just pondered for a while.
