Chapter 123

Grace-sama’s organized tea party that suddenly took a place continued with questions about sweets from the beginning until the end. Grace-sama was the one who mostly asked the questions. Aurorsama had a few questions as well.

The two apparently liked the sweets I took out very much. The two’s interest was both the method of making them as well as what other sweets I made… Well, it’s not like the Queen and Crown Princess will “made them themselves” though.

「Hotcake!」

「Furench toast!」

「Oh my, hotcake and French toast? What kind of sweets are those?」

「「Delish~!」」

「My, my, what wonderful smiles. They must be that much delicious then?」

「「Un!」」

And, about the questions but…… for some reason, Allen and Elena who didn’t show any signs of being shy of strangers were answering them. Grace-sama created an extremely friendly mood.

No, well. I get deeply moved when I consider that the two “grew up” from their excessive shyness.

Ah, but, rather than the two being shy of strangers, they felt more like they had no social experiences. Thus must have gotten used to it after meeting many people.

Well, since Allen and Elena don’t understand their social status, they will get close to people as long as there isn’t a problem with their personality.

Rather, the social status of Allen and Elena who are the children of the Water G.o.d is higher… no, I am the Wind G.o.d’s――Syl’s retainer, so my social status in this world would also be at the top. However, that’s you know… I am originally of commoner origins. If told that the other party is a Queen or Prince, it’s inevitable to wince a little bit, right?

「Tak.u.mi-san, I can understand from the children’s state that those sweets are very delicious, but…… what are they in the end?」

「If I had to say, then both are more like a bread rather than sweets. Erm…… I will prepare them for the next occasion, if there’s any」

「I see~ I wouldn’t be able to eat anymore today after all. Then, I will invite you for tea again and will be relying on you that time, okay?」

「…… Yes」

Ah, I have made a mistake~ Just now, didn’t it feel like I have incited Grace-sama to invite us for tea again?

It’s not like I would dislike seeing Grace-sama again, but…… somehow, my spirit got exhausted, so I would like to avoid that again if possible~ Well, I have promised so it can’t be helped. I have to make sure not to forget to prepare hotcakes and French toasts if invited!

「Tak.u.mi-dono, do you have time after this?」

「Yes? Err, I don’t have any plans in particular, so……」

While adjusting the things in my mind, Austin-sama suddenly asked about my plans, so I tilted my head in puzzlement.

「Is that so? If that’s the case, could you please accompany me for a little after this?」

「Yes, I don’t mind, but……」

「My, what’s the matter, Austin?」

「I would like Tak.u.mi-dono to see the Knights Order at least once and I thought it would be better to introduce him to Felix as well」

「Ah, that’s true」

Knights Order? Felix? Eh, who’s that?

「…… Umm?」

「Felix is my son. He’s serving as the Knight Commander」

「The position of the Knight Commander in our country has been hereditary in the royal family for generations, and my younger brother is currently serving as the Commander」

Younger brother, that means the Second Prince?

「About that younger brother of mine, he has been concerned about the incident in the Gaya Forest where you saved the Knights and was met with malice instead of gratefulness. It’s only for his self-satisfaction, but would you please come along to receive his apology?」

Ehh!! Apology, you say!? From a Prince?

Uh, it’s that, right? When the young man called Sajesh loved Wald-sama too much and got envious of me for some reason.

「No, no! That was thoroughly personal matter, it isn’t something Felix-sama has to apologize for!」

Sajesh has already received a punishment for that matter. And yet, to receive an apology from the royalty…… what kind of punishment game is that! If something like that happens, I won’t be albe to endure it anymore!!

「But you see, Tak.u.mi-san. Felix’s apology aside, wouldn’t it be better for you guys to grasp the location of the Knight Order’s headquarters and practice grounds?」

「Eh?」

「You are apparently acquintances with a few Knights, but…… that’s only a handful of people, right? In that case, how about visiting with the thought of increasing acquintances at least by the face? You would gain Felix’s acquintanceship as well, but if you are together with Austin, you will receive the an appropriate recognition of the Knights. There’s a probability that they will be more accomodating when needed, you know?」
