"Oh, yes! I understand."
The servant recognized my face and the emblem of the Argenthhoz family embossed on the carriage, and was startled, bent down deeply, and ran quickly.
"Alas..."
I put my head on my forehead and let out a long sigh, and Lord Roden came over to my side and smiled.
I was stunned by the escort knight who didn't just have a tail, but looked at me like a puppy hoping for praise.
Why and when did this man build such an inner intimacy with me?
Lord Roden suddenly clenched his fists and shouted with a determined expression.
"Princess, I support you!"
"...What are you cheering for?"
"The young love between the Princess and the Duke... Ugh!"
I was frightened and covered Lord Roden's mouth with my hand.
Have you seen this light-mouthed and embarrassing escort knight?
"Be quiet!"
Lord Roden seemed to be choking because I was covering his nose, and tears streamed down his face.
When I released him, Sir Roden quickly escaped from me and gasped for breath.
"Sob sob. I know you're ashamed, but you shouldn't kill people... Cough, cough."
...Hey, haven't you heard of the Princess who died of shame because of an escort knight who was illusory?
I looked pathetically at Lord Roden, who was gasping for breath as if he had just fought a battle.
Why are this guy and that guy so weak?
At that time, I heard someone jumping out near the front door.
"Hello, Princess Argenthoz. I am the butler of this mansion."
"Oh, it's Yvonne Argenthoz."
When the butler of the Iels' mansion appeared, there was no turning back.
He let the servant open the iron door and greeted me respectfully.
'Damn it...'
The butler continued.
"Have you come to see Duke Iels?"
"Oh, that, that's it."
"Yes, that's right, butler. I am Eudela Rognier, Princess Argenthoz's maid."
Before I knew it, Eudela stepped forward and replied with a clear volce like a quiet lady.
Why is everyone doing this today?
Everyone is more active than necessary!
Oh boy.... Is it irreversible now?
However, the butler looked around the mansion with a troubled expression.
"The Duke is training now..."
"Yes? Yes?! Then later..."
I was happy to hear that Rudnine was busy, but the chief butler quickly cut me off.
"No! Please come in and wait a moment. I'll tell him right away, let's go."
"Come in, Princess."
"Uh, uh..."
I was forced to enter the Iels' mansion in the midst of many people's support.
No, it's not like this.
Can I come here?
"This is it! Ride here."
As I passed through the iron gate, a stony soldier and a butler led me to a simple carriage.
The distance from this main gate to the main building of the mansion is too far, so you have to take a simple carriage.
How wide the world is.
As I followed him into the carriage with Eudela, the wheels began to roll.
'The garden is also wonderful...'
Bright summer flowers were planted around a wide and long artificial waterway, and it was truly spectacular.
It was summer, so it felt cooler and more refreshing.
To leave such a wonderful townhouse unattended and the Duke family to stay only in the Iels estate...
'It's a waste. I think it would make a lot of money even if it were developed as a resort.'
In the first place, I didn't think that Duke Iels had any reason to make money anymore, so I clicked my tongue in pity.
"That's really cool, Princess."
"Yes."
Eudela said that Iels' townhouses are rarely open because the owner does not come.
She said that she was honored to see it in person and that she would be lucky as soon as she became a maid of the Princess's entourage.
It took ten minutes to get to the main building of the mansion as I went with the chattering Eudela, but it was not boring.
And just looking at the garden of the Iels Mansion was so beautiful that I was busy admiring it.
I was escorted by Lord Roden, who had followed me, and got out of the carriage and looked up at the mansion.
It's gorgeous and beautiful.
The outer walls of the mansion were pure white bricks, and the windows shimmered beautifully in the sunlight.
"Please come in, Princess."
The chief butler smiled softly and guided me, and I nodded and entered the open door.
"Hello, Princess!"
"Welcome, Princess!"
...Hmm, what is this???
I was surprised to see so many employees lined up in the hall, and at the same time, I was very embarrassed by the fact that they welcomed me so violently.
"Welcome!"
"...I'm glad to see you."
I nodded and thanked me as little as possible.
By the way... As I walked slowly, I felt something strange about the employees.
Do you usually welcome customers happily like this? Why are everyone's eyes shining like that?
Look at those excessively bright eyes.
'Wait.'
I searched for memories of this situation, which seemed to have happened somewhere.
Yes. Look at this.
For what... When Rudnine came to the Argenthoz mansion, they looked at him with the same look that the mansion employees looked at...?
"Contrary to the rumors, you are quiet, aren't you?"
"Be quiet. She's a great Princess who let our Duke stay in our townhouse. You have to do well."
"Yes, I believe in the Duke. I hope you two are happy, huh. So you'll stay here in the townhouse, right?"
My amazing hearing was so great that I could even hear the maids whispering in a corner 50 meters away.
It was certain. Oh my God, these people are mistaken too.
It was so bitter that I laughed in vain. These people seem to think that I have become Rudnine's lover.
It's not an illusion, but if it's real, I wish I could do it too.
I'm sorry I didn't meet your expectations, but this is my one-sided unrequited love...
"Sob sob."
Tears of blood flowed down my face.
"This is it."
A tall and healthy-looking lady was waiting at the door of the drawing room.
I went with her into the large and ornate drawing room.
'This house is no joke either.'
I scanned the furniture as luxurious as the Argenthoz family's reception room, and sat quietly on the sofa.
Fortunately, I lived in the Argenthoz mansion, and I'm glad that my eyes have been raised in my own way, but if I had seen it unfamiliarly, I would have fainted.
As I sat on the sofa, the butler walked up to me and introduced me to the lady who had just shown me around.
"She is my wife. Together with me, we manage the capital Iels townhouse."
"It is an honor to meet you, Princess Argenthoz. Please call me Floria."
The woman grabbed the hem of her skirt slightly and greeted me politely.
This lady, Floria, also gives me a very favorable look.
That was so strange.
When I go out, everyone is afraid of me and avoids me. The people here showed no signs of that.
It was good to say that it was a decorated appearance.
The character of the owner, Rudnine, is so good that even the character of the hired person is perfect.
I tried to find a way to give up my feelings about him, but nothing really caught me.
Madam Floria asked me gently.
"I'll serve you refreshments first. Do you have a favorite tea or food? It's not enough, but I'll try to prepare as much as possible."
There was no food to cover, so I answered without thinking.
"It doesn't matter what it is."
"I see."
She grinned and turned to the maid and servant who were waiting near the drawing room door.
"Listen carefully! Anything. I'll prepare all the desserts and tea in our mansion!"
"Yes, I understand!"
Madam Floria, who had been friendly to me, suddenly gave a powerful order in a booming voice.
I looked at her blankly, and she smiled in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, Princess. Iels Townhouse rarely socializes... It's been a long time since the market of the Knights of the Iels family placed in the townhouse has been the focus. I've gotten used to the rough culture, but I'll correct it."
"No. You don't need to correct it!"
I hurriedly waved my hand at Madam Floria, who was crying with long excuses.
What can I point out about the culture of this house?
And she looks good because she is honest and energetic.
The chief butler standing next to her stepped forward, sweating profusely.
"I'm sorry. Besides, this person was originally a knight, so her easy-going personality couldn't be corrected at all."
"...Haha."
Madam Floria let out a long sigh, and I smiled and reassured her.
"It's really okay."
It may be information that I didn't want to know, but for no reason, I was buzzing with the desire to get to know the people here at the Iels Mansion.
"And my mother was also a knight. I didn't know because she died early. My father told me about it recently."
Madam Floria's eyes widened, and she pondered her memory.
"Oh, if it's the late Duchess of Argenthoz... Maybe Camilla, the Firefist? Is that right?"
'Boo, fire fist?'
I was taken aback by the huge nickname, but I nodded my head.
"Yes, that's right. My mother's name is Camilla..."
"Come to think of it, the way you smile is very similar to Camilla! Wow, I'm so happy and honored. Camila was my idol."
"An Idol?"
"Yes! She was the third rider... Not only did she stand up to injustice, but she also strangled a gargoyle who suddenly entered the military academy with her bare hands! She was truly a legend."
"Oh, is that so?"
I imagined a neat-faced Duchess holding that scary gargoyle with her bare hands.
After the brown bear, this time it's a gargoyle.
As if I hadn't unpacked information for nothing, the atmosphere became very bright and friendly.
Madam Floria, who was telling various other anecdotes, covered her mouth and laughed.
"I was too talkative."
"It's fun, so what?"
It was sincere.
My complicated head became lighter and cooler.
I was able to look back at my ugly self for not being able to truly rejoice in poor Liana's recovery because of the treatment.
"When I go back, I have to apologize to Liana."
I just have to find another way to make money.
I'm still in an advantageous position to know the original work.
As I smiled comfortably, Madam Floria looked at me with different eyes.
"I really like the Princess too, but what can I do? I will do my best to treat you and win the Princess's heart."
"Oh, thank you?"
It's strange. Why do you capture my heart...?
After all, Duke Rudnine Iels has no feelings for me.
As if she couldn't hear my frustrated telepathy, Mada. Floria went out to check the kitchen herself.
Soon after, trolleys with refreshments began to line up in the reception room.
"Oh my God."
How do I eat all of this?
A huge amount of food comes in endlessly, as if all the teas and desserts in the world are collected.
The sweet smell pierced the tip of my nose, and I felt like my lungs were soaked in honey.
