Marquis' Express Butler

I was surprised.

It was real, not acting. Instead, Sapiella looked down at me. With warm eyes.

It was surprising in many ways.

Normally, it would have to be a cold look with a spicy northwind mixed in, but today was different. I should say that there is a mixture of greedy affection like the spring wind.

I don't know if he was attracted to me, but he was clearly attracted to me.

Sitting on the ground, reading a book, I woke up angry. And I took an example from her.

“I meet the noble lady. ”

I usually hang out with two maids, but I'm strangely alone today.

“What are you doing here? ”

“Confucius Hamel is resting and is here to read for a while. ”

“What book? ”

Sapiella Young showed interest in the book I read. I showed her the title. Her eyes sparkle.

Already she knows I have an unusual education. after giving me another proof of the Pythagorean theorem that I had previously come across as an assignment.

Not only that, he explained various sciences and disciplines such as dynamics. It was only a matter of time.

In terms of Sapiella's infancy, she was a perfect fit for me. My head was not bad, and I did not hide my curiosity because I was ashamed.

“Were you interested in xenophobes, too? ”

“I'm interested in everything. That's why I used to stand up and volunteer. You can read as much as you want here. ”

“I knew you had to go to the Academy. I could have been a great scholar. ”

“Well, it's not too late now. ”

Sapiella was slightly surprised by the answer. And I asked carefully.

“Do you have feelings for the Academy? ”

“Nothing yet. But you don't know what it's like to be human. If you can't be appointed a butler, you'll have to find out. ”

“Probably not. ”

It was a short sentence, but it had many meanings.

Honestly, if my abilities don't make me a butler, it's ridiculous. In other words, it sounded like he wanted to use power somehow.

I will not refuse such favors. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.

Sapiella talks.

“He wasn't at the lodge last night. Was there a mission?”

“No. I took a leave of absence yesterday, and I took a break from the village. I have some business to attend to. ”

“Yes."

Knowing I was gone tells me you found me. Why 'd you find it?

“Did something happen? ”

“Nothing happened. Just……. ”

She hesitates and reduces her hindsight. It was awkward because the ice princess seemed to be feeling shy.

“I'll listen to whatever you have to say. Speak freely.”

“Even if I tell you to die? ”

“Not likely, but I'd be happy to shove a knife down your throat. ”

When I took the example, she smiled satisfactorily. She nods.

“If you don't mind, let's eat together. ”

“Yes?”

“In Rosetta. Arwen says she wants to do something good. There's something you saved me before, and I'd like to formally return the favor. ”

Dinner with a beauty is always welcome.

By the way, has Arwen reached her level of cooking already? You recognized it when you were A rank, but it must be proof that you put in that much effort.

But I bounced once. I'm not an easy guy.

“I appreciate the sentiment, but you shouldn't eat with the lowlifes. You have a lot of eyes. ”

“It's not about identity. If you've been blessed, you'll have to pay for it. That's what I learned from my father. ”

“In that case, I'd appreciate it. ”

“Twelve o'clock. In Rosetta.”

“Yes, ma'am. ”

Sapiella leaves. I checked the clock on the wall. There was still over an hour left. I sat down again and finished reading a book I couldn't read.

* * *

I was learning how to whisper. Moreover, I don't know if it's Mana's influence, but I can read and remember books much faster than before.

So for the rest of my time, I read every book I had left. The Elves have gained a deeper understanding of their kind.

Of course, it was funny to say that reading a book made me understand better, but I decided to read more whenever I had a chance. It's because I was interested in stories about other races other than Elves. It seems the Elves aren't the only ones who've been chosen by God. There were other factions.

That's how I got out of the West. Stuart was still guarding the reception.

“Did you enjoy using it? Lord Dylan.”

“Sir, you can't do this. ”

“Hahaha. You're leaving early today, huh? ”

“I have an appointment. I'll come back later. ”

“Promise?”

I realized I made a small mistake. Sapiella was the only one who came to the west while I was reading.

Stuart, too, pinched it.

“Is it a promise with the lady? ”

“You asked me to have lunch with you. I'm going to Rosetta now. ”

“Oh, great! Well, you're the one who saved the girl's life, so you should be treated that way. ”

“Don't be so gossipy. The lady will be in trouble. ”

“Don't worry. My mouth is heavier than a lump of iron. ”

I bowed my head and took a bow. On my way to Rosetta, I remembered what I bought on the way to the mansion this morning.

“Perfect timing. You better take that. ”

I changed direction. And I took out a small wooden box that I kept in my room. Inside was a handmade wooden bookmark.

It was a bookmark with a small floral decoration, but nowadays, Sapiella seems to be working hard to buy it as a gift.

I don't know if you like it. I'll take it first.

I went back to my place and headed to Rosetta.

I opened the door and came in smelling delicious. A cheerful, roaring noise came from the kitchen, and the chefs in white cooks' uniforms were on the move.

The table was empty. Normally, there were several tables to eat at, but no one was there today.

Something's not right.

“Dylan!"

At that moment, I heard a deep scream in the kitchen. I smiled and greeted Chef Ramsay.

“How are you? ”

“It's always been me. Where'd you get that treasure, anyway? ”

“Treasure?”

Chef Ramsay points to Arwen baking meat and vegetables. I was wearing a chef's uniform because I only saw the way she was dressed every time.

“How's he doing? Are you good?”

“I have a gift. There are still a lot of things missing, I guess. Do you think it has a sense? Teach me one and I'll know ten. ”

“I've loved cooking since I was a kid. ”

“You said you were from the same province. ”

I nodded. Chef Ramsey folds his arms and still looks at Arwen.

“Fortuna is a cradle of talent. I can't believe you brought such a great maid to a steward. Later, the viceroy will have to award me a prize. Hahaha!”

“I'm afraid my master will hear me. ”

“I'm not kidding. I mean it. ”

I felt really good. Although it was something else, I felt good about my decision to do this.

Later, becoming a butler and getting on the job makes talent placement more important. After all, the efficiency and performance of our work will vary depending on how we use human rights.

In that sense, my abilities were literally unmatched to anyone else's.

“Then why is it so quiet? How many tables do you usually have? ”

“You said you'd use it today, so I left everything empty. Everything that was booked was moved to Primera or some other restaurant. ”

“Oh, this is a lot of pressure. ”

“If you can't avoid it, you should enjoy it. ”

Chef Ramsay smiles strangely and goes back to the kitchen. I sat at a set table, guided by a fellow apprentice deacon.

I'm sorry that I'm the only one with an apprenticeship.

“Do you feel any discomfort? ”

“I'm fine. Why are you suddenly so respectful? ”

“I've been instructed to serve you preciously. ”

“Ha.”

He was chatting with each other half the time yesterday. For some reason, I feel more uncomfortable.

But as Chef Ramsey said, if it's inevitable, you should enjoy it.

All right, let's have a good time today!

“What's on the menu today? ”

“Roasted piglets, smoked chicken, goose liver, and salads are all available. ”

“Sounds delicious.”

“Of course. It's the best. ”

“It's just not good enough. ”

“Phew……. ”

Then the door opened and a bright light poured out.

It was Sapiella who appeared with the sun. The sunlight spilled on a warm spring day was shining brightly on her like a scorcher.

I woke up from my seat.

“Have you been waiting long? ”

“Lady.”

The spirituality gave me respect. I guess they decided to treat me as a valued guest today.

“I'm uncomfortable. Please speak comfortably as before. I'm worried about who will listen. ”

“I can't do that. Today is a special day. My knight, may I sit? ”

One expression, "My Knight," remained strong in my mind. Of course, this meal would be limited, but I could feel the distance between her and me getting closer.

When she suggested it, I sat down.

Ever since the baby arrived, I've been nervous in Rosetta. Positive tension. Chefs and butlers showed a professional gesture, as if they would not tolerate any mistakes.

The dishes began to be set on the table, and the appetizers and beverages were served.

Usually, there are maids around Sapiella to help them eat, but they defeated them all today. So it was just the two of us at the table.

“By the way, do you know what happened today? ”

“Yes, I told my father. And you said, of course I should. I know what you're worried about, but I'm sure Lord Dylan won't be worried. ”

“Thank you for your consideration. ”

You look much prettier with a nice accent. I wish I could talk normally like that.

However, as there are reasons for every phenomenon, there are reasons for human behavior.

Born into the youngest and given up to love, there is also sorrow, such as having to marry an Astrian family.

“Sir Dylan taught me before. ”

“Yes.”

“My homework teacher saw my homework, complimented me and doubted me. I get it. It was a problem I couldn't solve. ”

“We should be careful from now on. ”

“Can you help me study the second I'm careful? ”

She asks, and I nod.

It's better to be a home teacher than just a butler. It's the same reason university students study abroad. Because it's comfortable.

Deacons in the Adeline family are assigned tasks to ensure full competence. Being a home teacher is not a special qualification.

“Well, now I have to terminate my homeroom teacher. I'm sorry about Lord Merlyn. ”

“No, you shouldn't. ”

“Why?”

“I'm going to hate you. Keep learning from your home teacher, and I'll teach you in a complementary way. ”

“Okay."

I took out a wooden box that I had prepared before the main dish. She glanced at the box I pulled out.
