“Milord”
Standing in front of Kang Chul-In, Alfred cautiously opened histo tell you”
“If you’re talking aboutChul-In struck first
“T-That… though that it i to talk aboutIt’s actually about Secretary Lucia”
“Lucia?”
“Recently, she seems depressed, and down co Chul-In tilted his head in confusion
“Is it because she’s been too focused on her training?”
Though Kang Chul-In hypothesized
“I think that it’s actually somewhat of a mixed reason”
Alfred’s opinion seemed to be different
“What do you mean by that?”
“Milord, I think that you were too indifferent towards LuciaShe’s your secretary, yet you haven’t visited her for 3Chul-In also had things to say about this
How busy had he been this winter?
There wasn’t a single day where he had been able to sleep for over 3 hoursHe had been able to ‘survive’ a terrifying workload that would have overworked a nor her ass off
“Thankfully though, milord hasn’t spent personal time with anyone other than ArshellyStill… I’ht now”
“Coht be experiencing some sort of anxiousness due toso difficultI’ve heard that she’s been able to beat General Drakan in ar recently, so you can really see how hard she’s been working”
“Ah…”
At that, Kang Chul-In finally understood what Alfred was saying
Alfred was my secretary and subordinate in my past lifeIt makes sense that she feels like this due to the sudden appearance of Alfred
Now that he thought about it, Kang Chul-In had never explained the existence of Alfred to Lucia, or the other officials of the Laputa territoryIt made sense that Lucia was anxious; nervous that her position as secretarybut an old vampire, and a butler who does milord’s errandsMilord, I think that you should take better care of Lucia, in case she gets upset at you”
“You’re right”
Kang Chul-In nodded his head at Alfred’s words
“Though it may be different for other people, I should have taken better care of at least Lucia”
“Yes, o see her”
Kang Chul-In quickly walked away
-------
In the inner part of the Laputa territory, the training facility
“Pant… Pant…”
Gasping for breath, Lucia’s shoulders heaved
<hr>
It had already been 5 hours
Morning, the training that started as soon as she woke up didn’t show any signs of stopping even after lunchSince winter, she had been working herself like this
“Huuu…”
With a deep breath, Lucia finally put down her sword and shi+eld, Zenith and AegisA nearby maid quickly helped Lucia take off the ar
“Thanks, Hestia”
“It’s nothing, Secretary Lucia
Hestia shook her head, and bowed respectfully
“Hestia”
“Yes?”
“Do you knohat ?”
“This humble one doesn’t know eitherI think that he’s either in the office or training in his personal training area”
“Is that so”
“Shall I go ask where he is?”
“No, it’s alrightMilord doesn’t have tiht to disturb hiet the bath ready for me”
“Yes, secretaryI’ll do so i, Hestia scrahed
“Milord…”
Swiping the sweat on her forehead, Lucia thought of Kang Chul-In
“How can you not look for this girl for 3 months, milord?How could you do this to ht, milordIt’s because you’re busy… Kuk!”
Unconsciously answering the voice that had come out of nowhere, Lucia turned her head
“M-Milord!”
Standing there was Kang Chul-In
“H-How…”
“I’ve coood excuse, Kang Chul-In spoke randomly
“I-Is that so…”
“I’ve heard that you’ve been working very hard recently”
“No,able to aid h this may seem a little rude, can milord come to see me another time?”
Lucia spoke aardly
“Next ti Chul-In didn’t knohat to doHe hadn’t coo away?
Don’t tell eon towards hiry and resentful towards hiry at me?”
“N-No, absolutely not!”
Lucia shook her head vigorously
“I-I’m very happy that milord has come to visit me!”
“Then what’s the probleht now…”
“Your state?”
“It’s too much…”
“?”
“The one time milord comes to visit me… And I happen to be in such adown froht now? Sob…”
“Is that the reason?”
Kang Chul-In spoke indifferently
“You’re beautiful, so I don’t see the problem here”
“B-Beautiful?”
“I think that right now, you’re hundreds and thousand times more beautiful than when you just put makeup on your face”
“Huk…!”
Lucia blushed at Kang Chul-In’s unexpected compliment
