Chapter 20 (2/2)

Being able to do everything properly, versatility is important.

That is why, having extremely low physical abilities, I was not able to have good grades. I might need to train my body just a little bit more. At the least, I would want to have the stamina that would be befitting to stand beside Wilhelm-sama.

I wore the school uniform, and stood in front of the mirror.

It is an appearance that I am used to, but because I have thought that I would never wear it again, I feel that it is also fresh.

A blouse with a white base, frills that are added here and there. And with the big ribbon placed in the collar, it was that kind of cute clothes. In the bottom, a flare skirt with dark blue in color. As a lady, it might not be good to show my legs, but it cannot be helped since this is the uniform’s design. It is decided that even with the longest skirt, up to the knees must be shown.

With this, I am finished preparing. I wonder if Wilhelm-sama would be delighted.

「Let’s go, Natalia」

「Yes, Ojou-sama」

If I go just like this, I might wait for a little in the order of knights

However, thinking that it is for Wilhelm-sama, I cannot think of waiting just for a bit of trouble at all. Rather, I even think that the waiting time is something to look forward to.

*Hm〜, Hm〜*, I went out while humming.

And walking like that with Natalia following me from behind, I am sure that the people around us thought strangely. Around us, there were people who were whispering to each other while looking at me.

Maybe, they have already heard that I have dropped out from the academy.

However, the ladies who were making rumors of me did not call out to me at all. I cannot tell quite well, if they knew about it or not.

As long as I cannot tell, there is no other way than leaving them alone.

And, I have now arrived at the garrison of the order of knights.

They should be having intense training today too.

I went straight towards the general reception of the order of knights.

And there, there was a person that I have seen just yesterday.

「Welcom……eeehhhhhh!」

「Good morning, Gyle-sama」

「Please do not add -sama for someone lowly like me!」

The knight that I have met yesterday, it was Gyle-sama.

It was a young man whose physique was not less or more than Wilhelm-sama. I am very sure, that he would be strong when it comes to fights.

Even in the order of knights, there is a despotism of the n.o.bility. And being able to be successful within that with only his abilities, I think that he is just that strong of a person.

I wonder if there is no problem without training.

I was thinking of it completely, that the receptionist knight would be changing everyday.

「Uhmm……what is it for today?」

「Yes. I have come with errands for Wilhelm-sama」

「……I guessed so」

As if he had given up something, Gyle-sama let out a sigh.

「And then, what is……ahh, no, Captain’s visitor, let them pa.s.s without asking the reason, was it. Carol-sama, please enter」

「Is it really fine? Without checking if we have weapons」

Inside the order of knights, it is forbidden to bring a weapon.

That is why, asking what business do they have and, checking and leaving the weapons in this entrance, is usually done. It was not done yesterday because Elder Brother was with us, but people who originally does not have relations with the order of knights, when entering, a simple body check would be done.

For today’s case, like checking the contents of the basket I am carrying.

Even so, he is telling that it is not needed. I wonder why.

However, there, Gyle-sama’s body severely trembled.

「N-No, there is no need……」

「The professional duties of the order of knights, having negligence there, it would greatly affect Gyle-sama’s dignity. Carol does not have anything to be embarra.s.sed for with her mission. Today, I have come to bring Wilhelm-sama his bentou. Ah, of course, although it is made by the House of the Duke’s cook, it is not lavish at all. A part of it is even made by an amateur like me, so it is really frugal. It is not something, that everyone should be envying for」

「……」

「Please, have a look」

Hearing my words until the end, carefully understood them, then Gyle-sama let out a very deep sigh.

And while looking upwards, as if to give up

「……a young wife, and a wife who lives elsewhere but regularly visits on top of that huh……Captain, you. I now get why for a while, I’m going to be the receptionist. Something like this, if he founds out, Captain might have a hole in his stomach……」

Oh my.

Gyle-sama, he saw me as a wife who regularly visits her husband.

It is not like I am already his wife, I am still in the middle of stepping on the stages. Even so, just being thought of that, it makes me very happy.
