Chapter 39 (2/2)

When it came to the people ere turned into hosts, thereon whether they were a fighter or a wizard

“Once we have returned, would you like me to prepare you a cup of warm tea?”

“No, thank you I’ht to bed”

If that was true, letting any wizard near the Dark Lord was probably be a risk

If they had strong ree, the e increased

“Catching a cold will be tough on you Please do not strain yourself, I implore you to instruct me”

Ah shells and other types with coats of fur, and many situations where swordsmen and archer units were ineffective So if you took the Dark Lord’s loyal subjects and his own defensive powers into consideration, a wizard was indispensable in a subjugation party

“It is my pleasure to be of use to you, Princess Rose”

“…………”

I gave up I couldn’t ignore him

I was trying to think, but the constant yapping in ? Is that what you are?!

“Klaus”

“Yes, m’lady!”

“I’ to think I want to you be quiet” I looked over lare

He was silent for a long ti his head downheartedly

H-huh?

For some reason, I lost my composure when I saw him so dejected

My being cold to Klaus was nothing new In fact, I don’t re nice to him at all

I paused

To think of it now, I’m quite heartless, aren’t I?

No, well, I did have sos on his own, and he’s a pervert Even though he’ll eventually becouard, I don’t think he should be so fixated on me And he’s a pervert It was hard to keep hierent pervert He’s a pervert, you see A pervert

Right Keeping hi any closer than necessary also served as self-defense

Contrary to the fresh flower boy looks he gave off, Klaus ca instructions on the labels

But let’s face the music and admit the truth

The reason I adopted a cool attitude with Klaus was because I ae of him No matter what I did, he smiled; and that was a distorted form of trust

“Klaus,” I said after some hesitation

He carefully peeped a look at me

He really was a dog The very i at the ground pitifully, asking, Don’t you need me?

He was probably lonely Lately I’ve been sticking close to Sir Leonhard because I ask for his couard, I was relying exclusively on someone else

Of course, there was a justifiable reason for that and I had no intention of apologizing

But this time, I was at fault

He only worried for me, and I treated his kindness with disdain

“I’m sorry, Klaus Could I have that cup of tea after all?”

He made a sound of surprise

“I’d like you to make it, not the maids”

Eyes rounded, Klaus choked down a breath before he ed to say in the likeness of a server, “My pleasure!”

His earlier despondency seemed a lie when he smiled with his entire face

I s breath of relief

I was glad to see him cheered up

“I will hness,” he declared with fresh determination

“Yes,” I answered with a smile pasted on my face after a few hard seconds had passed “I look forward to it”

I hope he missed how I unintentionally stumbled over my words, and the sudden dread in my eyes I couldn’t help it, because the punishin soon

I only leaked it once before, but Klaus was devastatingly disastrous at all work of the domestic type

There were ers His personality was not the type to heed fine details Most importantly, he lacked common sense

Please don’t say common sense and the like aren’t necessary in housework, it’s pivotal

When you’re cooking and think there isn’t enough of a certain flavor, you adjust it by adding seasonings Klaus killed the taste of his ingredients by adding no redients Of course, I meant that in the bad way

Once he made me tea and I wanted to spit it out As a princess I had to resist the urge, butto question whether I had been served poison from its unpleasantness

Tea tasting bitter or astringent, I could understand I guess that happens when you use too

But as it gooey? Why was it bittersweet??

I wondered if he had added jam like they did with Russian tea, but he denied it He said he hadn’t particularly added anything else Quite the contrary, I remembered with fear

Then why is the tea thick, you! I silently snapped Are you so?

Suddenly, soled at the back of

“Princess Rosemarie?” Klaus said in a mystified voice

I ignored hihts

To create soainst reason It was impossible

It’s not like I was trying to be critical, but I felt like I had just discovered the answer to worries I had dragged along with ’s own chambers

Right That was it It went against reason

If you multiplied one with ten thousand it beca you reat the Dark Lord’s poere, somented

For example, even if the Dark Lord aic strength then it

“Ahhhh”

A sound of dismay fell from my lips

My derived ansas very simple Therefore, it was cruel

In the game, Michael von Diebold became the Dark Lord’s host

He possessed ic
