After leaving His Majesty King Leroy’s office and seeing off His Highness Gresis, I hurried to the mansion with Sanse, my escort.
“Your Highness, the flower buds have not yet sprouted.”
Fermes, who was pruning, suddenly appeared.
“Yes, actually, I have to go to the frontier for a while starting tomorrow. I can’t come to see the state of the flowers I planted, but can you take care of them for me?”
“Of course. Please leave it to me. So, when I told Joan about the flowers, he said that he wanted to grow them even in the herb garden, is that okay?”
From what Fermes said, it sounds like he’s talking about the Joan I know.
I’ll check just to make sure.
“Do you know Joan from the herb garden?”
“Yes, yes. Joan is my older brother, and he is in charge of the herb garden. I heard about Your Highness from my older brother, and I also met with Her Highness. During the flow of our conversation, we started talking about this flower.”
Certainly, Joan is also a wildcat beastman. I remember him saying that.
“Well! That’s right. I still have plenty of seeds, so I’ll bring them to the herb garden later.”
“Th, the busy princess doesn’t have to bother herself to go, I will take it for you.”
“Thank you, that’s helpful. Then can you come to the house with me?”
“Ah, please wait a moment. I’ll put away the tools and be right back.”
The gardener Fremes went somewhere and came back right away.
“Thank you for waiting.”
“I’m sorry for rushing you.”
When I returned to the mansion, Dolph, the butler, was waiting at the entrance.
“Welcome back, Your Highness, I’ve already heard the story. Mai was chosen as the caretaker. She is preparing for the trip now. If you have any other preparations, please feel free to tell me.”
“Thank you, I would like to ask the head chef, Bane, to prepare a recipe for monster meat. I wonder if I can ask.”
“I understand.”
Dolph immediately headed to the kitchen.
“Fermes, I’ll bring it right away, so wait a moment.”
“Y, yes.”
I returned to my room and handed the flowers seeds to Fermes.
“Your Highness, please be careful when you go. Also, this.”
Fermes handed me a sachet of dried rose petals.
Previously, I had told Fermes that it was a pity that the roses I had received from the Margrave had withered.
At that time, he suggested drying the petals to make potpourri, so we immediately took the petals together.
I’ll dry it in the sun. He said that, so I asked him to do so.
The sachet gives off a faint scent of roses.
“Thank you for the nice scent. I will cherish it.”
Fermes shyly handed me another bag.
“There are a lot of them, so you can relax even if you float them in tea or in the bath.”
“Thanks to Fermes, I think I can have a good time even on the frontier.”
“I’m glad to hear that. Oh, I’ll be waiting for your return.”
Immediately after parting with Fermes, His Highness Gresis returned.
“Welcome home.”
“I’m home. What happened? You’re in a good mood.”
“Yes, Fermes made potpourri with the roses I was given by the Margrave. Look, it smells good, doesn’t it?”
I excitedly showed it to His Highness Gresis.
“Lilith, you’re human-”
“Your Highness, welcome back. I’ll have the meal prepared right away.”
“Please do that. I’ll go change my clothes now.”
Since Dolph spoke to him, Prince Gresis’s words ended in the middle.”
It may not have been particularly important.
While His Highness was changing clothes, I went to the dining room first and sat down and waited.
“This is the recipe you asked for. I chose a dish that got a particularly good reaction from the princess.”
“Thank you, Bane. You pay close attention.”
Bane choked and scratched his head.
“Well, it’s my job to understand my master’s tastes. I never thought you’d end up going to the frontier at a time like this.”
“It’s a chance. I can send monster meat.”
He didn’t sympathize with my joy.
“Huh? It must be a disaster mistake. Frontier knights’ hatred for humans is particularly terrible. Rumors are circulating that Her Highness intentionally brought in an infectious disease to manipulate His Highness and take over the Tenar Kingdom. Be really careful.”
I didn’t know there were such rumors. In the first place, it is impossible for the noble Gresis to be manipulated by someone.
I also wish for friendship between the two countries. It’s sad that people don’t understand that.
However, Bane understands and is worried about me.
He has a bad mouth. But he is still kind.
“Thank you.”
“Worrying about my master is part of my job.”

Bane turned away, huffing, perhaps because he was embarrassed.
I heard a voice behind me.
“You get along really well.”
Before I knew it, His Highness Gresis had come very close.
Bane, who’s shoulders jerked, was suddenly surprised.
“Welcome home, Your Highness, then I have to finish the cooking, so please excuse me.”
After bowing, he quickly left.
“I just received the recipe for monster meat.”
I smiled happily and showed him the paper.
“Lilith, it’s too early for you to get used to the people in the mansion. It’s good.”
His Highness Gresis sat down with an astonished face.
“Is that so? If it’s good, it’s good.”
For some reason, His Highness Gresis let out a sigh.
“. . . I have a feeling that the same thing will happen on the frontier. . . I have a bad feeling.”
I have a bad feeling, when I heard those words from His Highness Gresis, I remembered the rumor I had heard from Bane earlier.
“Your Highness Gresis, I have a favor to ask.”
After the meal, when I calmed down, I spoke about it.
“What?”
“Even if the frontier knights say or act disrespectfully towards me, as long as there is no danger to my life, I would like the guards to ignore it and watch over me.”
His Highness Gresis’s eyebrows twitched.
“Why? Lilith is already part of our royal family. Many knights on the frontier have been abused abd protected from humans, and they have a rough temperament. I can understand their feelings, but disrespect for the royal family is not allowed.”
“Yes, I understand. But if an escort comes out every time something happens, they won’t be able to see the truth for themselves and will distance themselves from me. Then we will never be able to understand each other.”
“That’s true, but. . .”
“As a representative of the humans, I believe that I must first build a relationship of trust with them. As an assistant, I, who does not suffer from the contagious disease, want to help care for them.”
His Highness Gresis’s animal ears twitched.
“Wait, the requests are increasing. The assistant position is a doctor’s assistant for medical examinations, not a nursing assistant.”
I was noticed.
“I don’t want even His Highness Gresis to be criticized because you’re married to me. And you said I can do whatever I want, didn’t you?”
When I appealed with a requesting pose, His Highness Gresis pressed his right and left temples with his middle finger and thumb so that he could cover his face with his right hand.
“. . . Ah, I told you, but I regret saying that so much. I wonder if it will continue from now on.”
Behind me, I heard giggles and laughter.
“It seems that Her Highness the Princess is one step ahead. If it’s self-interest, it’s for Your highness and others, and her mind is also wonderful. You can’t refuse such a request, Your Highness.”
When Dolph smiled, His Highness Gresis made an expression that seemed like he wanted to click his tongue.
“Well, that’s fine. Do whatever you want. Let’s not let the guards interfere unless Lilith asks.”
“Thank you.”
“. . . Nursing, huh. . . I really have a bad feeling about it.”
It seems that His Highness Gresis thinks that my nursing will become a big hindrance.
Even if I say nursing, it should be at least at the level of meal assistance, but I wonder if I was that bad?
“It’s okay. I’ll do my best to help properly.”
“No, you don’t have to try hard.”
“Your Highness, have you forgotten the purpose of your mission?”
While I was tilting my head, Dolph laughed again and said,
“If Her Highness were to take care of me, I’d be worried.”
Oh dear! Even Dolph is cruel.
I have to prove that I can take care of them.
No, Lilith, please understand Gresis’s true intentions soon and spare the poor, sick frontier knights from being the subjects of Gresis’s jealous wrath.
