Chapter 56 (2/2)

“That’s the most elite order in the country. If you make it through the training you’d be guaranteed at least a position as captain in one of the local cities. If you’re lucky enough to join the imperial knights, you could even become a nobleman.”

“A noblemanthat sounds nice.”

“I want to be able to eat like a noble at some point in my life.”

“Definitely.”

Fufufu, soldiers longing to have the lives of nobles. While I’ve already experienced what it’s like to eat like one.

I can vouch for how delicious that food was.

Even though I’m just a maid, I can feel a little superior to them.

“By the way, have you heard about how the new Lady got her position?”

“The girl from the FitzClarence family?”

“It seems she was granted her title and this territory after she helped cure the Princess’ disease.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, that’s what I heard from the people that came with her from the capital.”

“That sounds more like a fairy tale than anything else.”

“From what I heard, the Princess needed a special medicine to cure her. One of the ingredients in that medicine was the liver of a Red Dragon. It seems that she went to Mount Pepe with Lord Fahren to acquire it. Apparently, she’s known as a dragon slayer in the capital.”

“A Red Dragon? Seriously?”

“Yeah. Lord Fahren formed a party with the girl from the FitzClarence family, a knight from the Order, a guard captain, and the vice-captain from the Third Magic Corps. I also heard some ridiculous rumour that a waitress from one of the restaurants in the capital tagged along as a luggage carrier.”

“Oi, oi, is that vice-captain that one girl, Cyan-chan?”

“Yep, Vice-Captain Cyan.” (TN: In case anyone has forgotten, Sophie’s real name is Cyan Bitch [seriously])

“Seriously? That girl is incredibly cute. I’m seriously in love with her.”

“Vice-Captain Cyan is definitely cute. I can’t help but violate her with my eyes whenever I’m in the same room with her.”

“Right? I just love how serious and proper she looks. I want to marry her someday. Her personality can be a little cold, but I’m sure she’d feel warm between her legs.”

“If I could marry Vice-Captain Cyan, I’d never ask for anything else for the rest of my life.”

“I’m surprised you’re not trying to go after the FitzClarence girl. If you managed to get close to her, you’d never have to go out on patrol again.”

“Oi, oi, don’t say things like that so lightly. You never know who could be listening.”

“Even so.”

It seems that they’re scared of Ester-sama.

I wonder what would happen if rumours spread about how she speaks with Tanaka-san.

He’s probably considered to be in a position even lower than I am.

Despite what he’s done, he’s really received no credit for any of it. On top of that, he’s also a foreigner.

It probably wouldn’t reflect well on this country if it was found out that a foreigner was the one responsible for healing its princess. I remember Tanaka-san said something to that effect before.

“you’re really an unfortunate person, Tanaka-san.”

Well, he seems to know that and not even mind it.

“Now then, let’s continue exploring.”

I muttered quietly to nobody in particular and continued to look around the castle.
