8. I Made A Friend

Several months after I began helping Alex with his work, I finally made a friend around my age.

His name is Urie and he is twenty-one years old, a year older than me.

He is a blond-haired, blue-eyed lady-killer who just became a Knight. I think that just a few years more and he’ll surely be a center of attraction in high society.

Although it could be said that it’s already happening&h.e.l.lip;

He came across me during his patrol inside the royal palace and began talking to me.

It was then that I learned for the first time that this garden is owned by the royal family.

During that encounter, my language proficiency had already improved by leaps and bounds.

“Haruto, did you know that the 『bento』 recently became popular in the royal palace?”

One day, Urie said something like that.

“Yeah. I knew. I also occasionally make them.”

I never expected it to become popular at all.
