43 – Middle Manager

Has it passed the hostess test in its own way?

After Eldrina left, the old butler I saw a moment ago came in and bowed his head.

“My name is Philip, the head deacon. Madam instructed me to make the two of you as comfortable as possible. “You can call me whatever you want.”

‘But I don’t think you have any intention of discriminating against someone else’s child?’

Unlike before, when he waited at the entrance of the mansion, he bowed curtly. Siron touched his lips as he saw the change in the deacon’s attitude.

“Deacon. Is there a separate building here? “I want to live there.”

Shiron naturally treated the head deacon with disdain. I didn’t intend to start a fight or anything, but I also didn’t think there was any reason to use an honorific word towards someone who bowed their head.

“Of course there is. “We will prepare for you to move in right away.”

After speaking, the perspicacious butler went outside.

I asked as if to see how much convenience I could provide, but was immediately given permission to use the entire building.

‘This works?’

Within Siron, Eldrina’s favorability increased by about 3. Anyway, there’s no way I could treat her poorly, even though she’s my beloved husband’s nephew.

“A separate building?”

Lucia, who had been quietly observing the situation, approached with her back. Lucia, who had no experience in giving requests or orders to others and was not confident in doing so skillfully, decided to leave it entirely to Siron, but wanted to hear at least a reason.

Siron said, moving his waist back and forth due to tension.

“It’s because I want to avoid meeting that lady as much as possible.”

“…I expected it, but this is what happens in the end.”

Lucia sighed heavily. An image of Siriel, whom I expected to live with, flashed through my mind.

Siron, looking at her with a clear look of regret, shrugged his shoulders.

“Actually, there is no need to live in a separate building.”

“huh?”

“Even though my uncle knows the lady’s personality, he suggested that you and I follow her.”

“but…”

From noble mtl dot com

“In that case, wouldn’t it be okay to think of him as someone who was helpful and not someone who would harm children?”

“Uh… um… I don’t feel like it.”

Lucia recalled two appearances of Eldrina. As she crossed her arms and closed her eyes, her brows tightened.

She is a mother who shows her caring side to her husband and daughter. And the fox-like personality he showed towards Siron and himself.

Eldrina said Hugo was not a fool.

Of course, it wasn’t that Lucia treated Hugo like a fool, but there’s such a thing as a first impression, and I never thought anyone would criticize that. Even in my past life, there was no such type of person.

Siron continued speaking while looking at Lucia who was groaning.

“I don’t know if the ending is certain or if the distribution is big, but it’s not a bad situation. “I think it’s actually good news that you don’t have to act like you’re a good kid.”

“…It’s because I feel uncomfortable. It’s because I feel uncomfortable. “I also hate being watched.”

Lucia nodded slowly.

Late at night.

Bertha walked down the street where ether lights flickered.

‘Why, I’m being called while I’m on vacation, and at night.’

Sudden call.

After completing about a month of deployment, Berta received four days of paid vacation for her hard work.

The sight of Berta’s immediate superior looking at Bertha, who not only returned with all limbs intact but also submitted her report on time.

He clicked his tongue as if he had seen something he couldn’t see. It was really worth seeing.

however,

Unlike usual, her superior did not say much to her. He flipped through the paper a few times, then put it all in an envelope and placed it in a drawer.

I just said a few words and thanked him for his hard work.

“Ugh. It’s my palja. “Why are you so fierce?”

Who said that misfortune comes without warning? I should have figured it out by looking at my superior’s uncomfortable expression.

When I returned home after completing the simple handover, there was an envelope with an unusual letter lying on the table.

The blue envelope symbolizing the imperial family was definitely not there before I left the house in the morning. The fact that someone came in without me knowing made the hairs on my entire body stand up.

‘It’s really popular these days…’

She tried to calm her mind by making light jokes, but there was no way to calm Bertha’s heart.

When I went to the palace wearing a uniform that hadn’t even been ironed, I felt like I wanted to throw my head on the floor.

I just didn’t do it because I knew it would only break the sidewalk blocks.

Her constantly moving footsteps soon stopped.

The white ether light turned red.

This is because the red bricks piled high reflect the light of the street lights. The gorgeous and magnificent imperial palace filled the field of view. The imperial power, which could be said to be absolute, was clearly revealed in a way that even the simpleton could understand.

Bertha handed the letter to the guard guarding the main gate.

*

Lien, the capital of the empire. At its center is a red castle that would be better described as a solid fortress rather than as a beautiful adjective.

Imperial palace.

However, the place where Bertha was guided was not the main castle.

The villa, located some distance from the main palace where the emperor and empress lived, was the place where princes who had not yet been crowned princes stayed.

However, just because it is not in nature does not mean that it is not appropriate to be called luxurious.

The pillars holding up the ceiling had golden Rococo carvings, and the carpet she was bowing to was so soft that her knees were half submerged.

“It’s okay to just relax.”

The person Bertha had an audience with was a boy who appeared to be a similar age to the great Master Prien.

3rd prince. Victor Ado de Lien.

The prince, who had just turned eleven this year, was an impressive boy with slightly curly blonde hair and sad eyes.

“…”

However, Berta did not stand up even though she was told that she could rest in peace. Bertha’s mind seemed to be filled with a hazy fog right now. Anguish arose.

The court etiquette she had memorized appeared in her mind.

He is not the type to refuse the royal family’s invitation three times.

3rd prince.

Victor had not yet mastered court etiquette properly.

If you wanted to see the face of a subject who bowed, you had to raise your head and command him to stand up.

The servant standing next to him whispers something to the boy.

“…Stand up with your head up.”

Viktor, who realized it belatedly, turned his ears red and ordered again. Only then was Bertha able to properly look into the prince’s eyes.

“You can call me Sir Bertha…”

“Yes, sir.”

Berta bowed her head and said.

Viktor waved a wad of paper in his hand, trying to push the heat away from his face.

“Lord Bertha. “I read the report you sent today carefully.”

What was in Victor’s hand was a copy of the report he submitted that morning.

“…I apologize, sir.”

After submission, it took less than a day for a copy to be made and reach the hands of the Third Prince.

I wondered where the mission came from, but… I never wanted to know it this way.

‘Such an asshole.’

A cold sweat broke out on Berta’s stiff back. My head was dizzy imagining how embarrassing I would have been if I had returned empty-handed.

however,

The reaction of a servant he was just getting to know was nothing to the young prince. Viktor put on a dignified expression and nodded his head.

“The reason I called you was to tell you one small request of mine.”

“Please give me orders as much as you like.”

Seeing Berta’s positive reaction, Viktor opened the paper and started turning the pages one by one.

“Others say that my temperament is a little different from others. “I have a temperament that makes me unable to resist being curious.”

“…”

“So, I got scolded a lot from my older brothers. “I tried to control myself, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t seem to do anything about it.”

‘no way…’

As the young prince poured out his words, Bertha had an ominous feeling.

“The story of Kylie, a warrior who destroyed a demon god five hundred years ago, was enough to ignite my curiosity. “I kept yearning like that. I wanted to see a legendary family figure once.”

“…I understand that you saw Sir Hugo the other day.”

While praying not to do so, Berta tried to distract the boy by mentioning Hugo.

“okay! Sir Hugo. “Well said.”

However, it ended up becoming a catalyst. The young prince got up from his seat and his eyes began to shine.

“I have seen the warrior praised as the strongest in the empire out of the corner of my eye a few times in Abamama’s throne room. I almost peed myself just by daring to stand near it. “This is probably the first time since I was a toddler that I almost couldn’t hold back the urge to go to bed…”

“His Majesty Victor, please protect his health.”

The servant standing next to him reached out to calm the excited Victor, but the boy stabbed him in the chest with a wad of paper and made him retreat.

“From then on I was hooked.”

Victor recalled a memory from long ago. Even though it was a year ago. A man who came to the imperial palace when he was just 10 years old and overwhelmed everyone.

I wanted it. Hugo Prien did not kneel even though he was standing in front of Abama. Since there are two older brothers with a significant age difference, I was pushed down in the order of succession, but isn’t everything else likely to be okay?

Victor beat his chest once with his small hand.

“They said that Prien’s eldest son, who is currently in the imperial capital, is the same age as me. According to this report, he is a little inferior to his younger brothers, right?”

“Well, you…”

Bertha’s lips trembled. This situation was scary.

“So it might be possible from now on. I want to have that guy as my subject. “Help me!”

The young prince’s exciting aspirations.

Beads of sweat formed under Bertha’s chin.
