Chapter 48 (1/2)
“Which of the newbies do you like?”
The palace maids were chatting to each other.
Not about work, but about which of this year’s newcomers they thought were good catches.
“I think they’re all good this year.”
Not new maids though.
What these maids were discussing were the newly-arrived apprentice knights.
“If it’s the Eastern Dormitory, I guess I’d choose Percil-kun. With his gla.s.ses he just looks so intellectual!”
“Doug-kun has a nice face too, doesn’t he. His blonde hair is so silky, and his exotic features are really alluring.”
“Speaking of handsome faces, Rizil-kun’s got a really good face too, you know.”
“But his hairstyle is a bit…”
“Yeah…”
“Luca-kun’s not bad either. The way he’s kind of pretentious and a bit of a playboy reminds me of Crow-sama.”
“Don’t lump Crow-sama together with a guy like that!” snapped another maid.
“Hey, don’t. Kiria is a fan of Crow-sama so she’ll argue with you every time.”
“Ehh, but I thought they were pretty similar.”
“I guess they are in some ways, but the feeling you get is a bit different. Crow-sama gives you a frank feeling, while Luca-kun really does seem pretentious.”
“They’re not alike at all!”
“D-, Don’t argue with me too… Geez, this is your fault, Selia.”
“Ehh? My fault!?”
The atmosphere turned weird as Kiria continued to stubbornly insist that they weren’t even remotely similar.
One of the maids experienced with mediating conversations decided to try and change the subject.
“Then what about the Northern Dorm?”
“I think Geith-kun is good.”
“It’s cool how he’s silent and a little mysterious.”
“What about Xelius-kun?”
“He’s got a nice body. His face is manly too.”
“G-Gorms-kun!” shouted a blus.h.i.+ng maid.
All the other maids looked at her dumbfounded.
“Umm, that’s a little…”
“That’s…”
“Well, I understand what you mean but that isn’t the kind of manliness we mean right now, so let’s pa.s.s on him.”
“Eehhhh…!?”
In the end, the maid who mediated earlier pa.s.sed on the girl who suggested Gorms.
“Then what about Remié-kun?”
