Evening of the ninth day of the Crown Prince’s birthday party.

Having returned from sightseeing in the royal capital, Vio saw that Rille’s mood had yet to improve. He made a dejected face.

Last night, Rille had misunderstood and thought that Vio was so angry with her, he wouldn’t come to pick her up. She’d been shocked to the point of crying all evening until the errand boy came to the temple. 

Seeing her eyes all swollen, Vio felt his conscience weighing down on him. “I’m sorry, Rille. It’s my fault for forgetting you.”

“Master isn’t at fault! After getting involved in a kidnapping, it’s only natural for your mind to be full of those matters,” Rille hurriedly replied. Then her eyes burned in anger and she emphasized, “I’m angry at the person who’s regarded as the best knight in the kingdom!”

“Me?!” Legion exclaimed. At Rille’s glare, he froze and ducked his head.

Legion had been organizing all the items they had bought at the market during the day. Those were the books and magic tools they would bring back to Leca town. Vio had wanted to buy a few seeds and seedlings as well, but he didn’t want to attract insects to his room. So far, they had only purchased general goods. He planned to buy the seeds on the way home.

Rille narrowed her eyes and nodded. “That’s right.” 

The brave knight capable of overpowering even a dragon was withdrawing from a girl’s glare. It made such an interesting sight. Lantz, who was on duty, watched them with great interest.

“You’re still young, so please make sure to remember your tasks properly!”

“In my opinion, it was our collective responsibility… You’re not angry with Jill?”

“Mister Jill was just a bit careless!”

“What an obvious show of favoritism!” said Legion, unable to stop himself from firing back at Rille’s concentrated attack. Rille seemed to dislike Legion, so she kept blaming only him. 

Jill interrupted with a clearing of his throat. Brows lowered, he said, “Rille, it’s my job to manage the schedule, so this is my mistake. I’m terribly sorry. Please forgive me.”

Rille faltered. “…Since Mister Jill said it like that, I can only forgive you,” she said as her rabbit ears hung in dejection. It seemed she noticed that she had gone too far.

Deciding it was a good time to cut into the conversation, Vio said, “Let’s settle the matter with this, Rille. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure that it won’t happen again.”

“Yes…”

“Good. Have you talked with your family properly?”

In a passionate manner, Rille said, “Yes, once I talked about how Master was the best, they were beaten down by my persistence! So I’m still Master’s maid. Ah, right! Father wrote you a note.”

She took out a letter from the pocket of her white apron and presented it to Vio. Vio looked over the content. To put it simply, he asked him to take care of Rille.

“Since your family has given you permission, I have nothing else to say. I’ll be in your care, Rille.”

“Yes! I’ll serve you with all my heart, so please rely on me,” Rille said as she curtseyed. When she looked up, she was smiling, obviously in a good mood.

Vio smiled back. “I’m glad. I like it more when Rille smiles.”

“Really?” Rille asked with a laugh of  embarrassment. “Well then, shall I brew you some tea at once, Master?”

“I’ll have it later. Let’s prepare for the evening party first. Jill, I’ll have to ask for your help.”

“Understood.”

Before heading into his bedroom with Jill, Vio also told Legion to change into his formal clothes for the evening party.

“It’s as imposing as usual,” Vio murmured as he glanced at the knights guarding the entrance they had just passed through.

The venue for the evening party was the large hall on the second floor of the royal palace. To get there, carriages had to stop near the doorway of the first floor. Then the guests had to enter through the entrance hall and up the broad stairs. 

Since the royalty and titled nobility were gathering here, there were several guards stationed throughout the venue.

“There are guests from other countries. They probably took that into consideration,” Legion replied in a low voice.

The guards at the venue were composed of the Imperial Knights and the Knights of Green Flash. The Imperial Knights protected the king, and they had an emblem of a green leaf and golden cup on their left chest. Meanwhile, the Knights of Green Flash had an emblem of a silver leaf and sword. Though they had the same uniform, it was easy to distinguish them by the symbol and color of their emblem. It truly was a system worthy of the frugal king.

Some of the knights stood straight alongside the wall. Others patrolled the venue.

The royalty and nobility mingling and chatting pleasantly paid no heed to them.

After all, nobles normally treat their servants like they’re furniture…

Though their servants were right in front of them, they didn’t notice. It was as if the servants didn’t exist.

However, Vio had memories of his previous life, so he couldn’t treat other people like that at all.

Following his father’s order, Vio had to stay in one corner of the hall andso he could only observe his surroundings. As always, with him not being able to move from his place, the boredom started setting in.

He didn’t like to go around and greet people because it gave him mental fatigue. But on the other hand, he was tired of just watching without doing anything. Other nobles around him kept glancing at him, but they didn’t come talk to him. After all, a person of lower-ranking initiating a conversation with a person of higher-ranking was considered rude.

I also feel bad that my sitting here is making them uncomfortable…

Vio glanced at the seats of honor. Today, Princess Liona was having a friendly conversation with the people surrounding her. And there was no end to the guests who kept coming to greet her. Prince Ars was in a similar situation.

As for the Lesserhain family, Vio’s father and brother were talking with the ministers and the foreign guests. Viola was chatting with the ladies she was close with, and she seemed to be having fun. Vio knew that if he approached any of them, his father and brother would certainly look coldly at him.

Vio took a sip of juice and decided that he would return to his room after about an hour. He thought he would once again end up playing wallflower today, but someone unexpectedly talked to him, calling him by an unfamiliar name. 

“Sir Reinhart?”
