Chapter 16 (1/2)

CHAPTER 16 – LUNCH

Wilhelm-sama and I, for a while, we were watching everyone’s work in the order of knights.

From the first fight that was called melee practice, next to that was the unfathomable charge of everyone, and against that strong charge, interception using s.h.i.+elds, I was able to see their techniques in their daily training.

I am sure that if I were within there, I would have probably died quickly.

As if I was watching a play, I was very excited.

Saying that I am getting excited by the appearance of men who were half naked fighting, you might feel that I am a woman who lacks grace, but it was that powerful.

Rather, it is not something like an act of a play, but a serious training. That might be the reason for it being powerful.

It is probably because of these strong order of knights protecting our country, that we have our own lives.

And after doing that for a while, my stomach, *Kyu*, it created an embarra.s.sing sound.

It looks like, it is already near lunch.

「Already lunch huh. It is also about time for the order members, they would enter their break. We should leave here」

「What are you planning for lunch?」

「There is, a cafeteria, but……I don’t, want to go there that much」

Site that is this much, and knights this much are training here, so I have thought that there was possibly a cafeteria.

However, it seems like he does not want to go there that much. I wonder if the food there is not that delicious.

If it is not that delicious, I think that it is not rewarding the knights who had done these severe trainings to protect our country.

「The taste is not the problem」

But, those thoughts of mine, they were denied by Wilhelm-sama.

And, *PonPon*, Wilhelm-sama patted my head lightly. It feels like he is treating me like a child, but I am happy with it so it is troublesome.

「I am the captain of the knights」

「Yes, I am aware」

「As the one who commands the order of knights, I need to be strict against the ones below me. Of course, I think that I have decently gained their trust, but……they would not think that they want to share their meals with me」

「……what does, that mean?」

Do not tell me, is Wilhelm-sama being disliked.

It is true that strict people, they are p.r.o.ne to be hated. However, that strictness, it is something that comes from caring about others. People who hate them, they are wrong as a person.

「If I am present, the people of the order cannot rest leisurely. Places to take their break, should be a place they could relax. In that place, a superior is not needed. And also to officers, we are working, making them not to use the cafeteria」

“I see”, I nodded.

If it was me, on my side where I am taking a break in the school, there is an instructor there. It is true, I might not be able to rest there that well. I do not know if when they are going to say something to me after all.

「Well then, where do you eat lunch usually?」

「Umu……usually, well, it’s not like I am hungry, so I don’t usually eat」

「Oh!」

That is bad.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, eating three meals, it is very important for health. Skipping a meal, only that takes a toll on the body.

I want Wilhelm-sama to be healthy forever, so I need to encourage him to improve his lifestyle.

「Wilhelm-sama, please have lunch with me」

「But……」

「I am worried about Wilhelm-sama’s well-being. Even if you are healthy, we do not know where sickness would come out. Improving your lifestyle is important」

This is what Grandfather taught us.

If it is Wilhelm-sama who is a friend of Grandfather, he should understand it.

And most of all, I am worried about him.

「Well then, a place that we can eat nearby……」

「Nearby, there is not many places like that here. And also, if there is a place nearby, the knights that are fed up with the meals in the cafeteria would go there. That is why, I do not want to show my face there that much」

「Oh……」

Well then, what should we do.

If it is like this, it might be the best to make Wilhelm-sama follow me to the mansion, and ask Chris to make lunch for us.

「Ojou-sama」

「What happened, Natalia」

「Thinking that something like this might happen, I have received bentou from Chris」

Oh.

I wonder why in the servants of the House of Ambrose, there is a lot of excellent people.

Rather, I am bad for not considering lunch although I would spend a whole day in the order of knights. I am really, grateful for Natalia’s tactfulness.

「Thank you, Natalia」

「Ha. Please forgive me, for intruding on the conversation with Wilhelm-sama」

「Y-You do not need to be that formal towards me you know, Natalia-dono. I had just an embarra.s.sing misunderstanding just earlier……」
