Marquis' Express Butler

It was a bookmark I gave to the baby not long ago.

You're using it well.

Sapiella, who put a grape in her mouth and sobbed my eyes, showed interest.

“That's my favorite book. ”

“I see. Can you explain what a book is? ”

“Continental adventurers. This book was written by Sir Paul, a famous adventurer. It's a little fiction about what really happened. It is a very famous book in our kingdom as well as in other kingdoms. ”

“I see.”

An infant who likes to think in his room or walk through the garden of the mansion, I was surprised that he likes books about adventure. I looked down the book again.

A gift embedded in my favorite book.

I felt good. I really liked the bookmark I gave you.

Next time you're out of town, should I give you a hairpin this time?

The bookmark I gave you is plain wood. Sapiella, the high noble, should have used something polished with jewelry, but she didn't throw it away.

In other words, he is a person who is modest and knows the true value of gifts, not lavish.

This makes it easier to prepare your next gift. Decide what she needs, and choose something unusual. Most of the people around him will give you valuables.

Instead, the wood bookmarks glow even more.

“Should I go back now? ”

“No, I'm a little surprised, but we're done for the day. ”

“Then having a cup of tea... ”

I bowed my head with a smile.

If I were an ordinary butler apprentice, I would have accepted the offer, but I am an apprentice who can roll his head. We do not paddle when the water comes in, but we must be careful not to leak water.

“I'm flattered by your words. But I have a lot of eyes. I will only be thankful for the warm and fragrant lady like a separate leaf tea. ”

“Eyes to see. Yes.”

Sapiella's love was also convincing. But I don't hide a sad look on my face. I feel like she is more open than she was at first.

Because I'm kind of like her butler, of course.

“But I have some good news. ”

“What is it? ”

“Starting tomorrow, you will be able to take the young lady back. As Confucius Hamel himself ordered, I don't think there will be any backsliding. ”

“Really?"

“How could I lie to you? ”

Sapiella's smile grew a little bigger. It was a vague look, but I could tell by the change in her face that I had observed quite closely.

“Well, help me study today. Lord Merlyn gave me another difficult task. ”

“You're certainly not an easy teacher. Fine, but I don't think it will be too late after I finish that grape. There's plenty of time.”

“Yes."

Sapiella reaches out to the grapes again on my offer. Then I thought of something and carefully pushed the bowl towards me.

“Dylan, come eat with me. You don't get many chances to eat fruit, do you? ”

In fact, I sometimes eat in restaurants, but I don't eat much of the fruit that comes out of these dishes separately.

I didn't really give it up. It's definitely not the same as getting tea and picking some grapes in front of your eyes.

I took one.

“That's a lot of grapes. ”

“Isn't that right?"

“Yes, but what's the story with this grape? Somehow he's got the same look as when he eats grapes. I was a little surprised that the Prince asked me to bring it to you. ”

“Really, did you ask me to bring it? ”

“Actually, the expression was a little different. ”

Sapiella tilts her head. It meant, "Tell me." I thought about it for a moment, but I honestly thought that if I heard this story, she would laugh.

“He told me to take it downstairs to the big room. ”

“I knew it.”

Sapiella smiles and throws her gaze out the window. It was very bright because the sun was still in the sky. It was a warm spring day.

“Grapes are my favorite fruit. And……. ”

Sapiella picks another grape and puts it in her mouth.

“Hamel's brother is also a favorite fruit. When I was a kid, I used to eat with my mother all the time. ”

“I see.”

You're reminded of your childhood. This is purer than I thought. A single grape was enough to convince me. Confucius Hamel is no ordinary jackass.

A moment of silence passed, and the bowl was left with only a peculiar branch.

“Now, let's get this class started. ”

Young-Ae nods, opens her book, and prepares for class. I have exercised my knowledge of my past life without regret.

* * *

After class, I headed straight for Rosetta. It's almost dinner time.

Young-ae absorbed the knowledge I transferred today without regret.

A teacher named Merlin seems to have quite a bad temper. I finished the Pythagorean cleanup assignment last time, and this time I gave it a more difficult assignment.

Of course, there's no challenge I can't solve. Of course, we need the premise that there's no such thing as the Lehman hypothesis.

Kirik.

I opened Rosetta's door and went inside.

A delicious smell pierced my nose. It's almost empty inside. These days, it is also a fitness training period, so there are not many apprentices who can eat dinner on time.

“Uh, Dylan. Are you here for dinner? ”

“Yes."

James, who has been getting along a little bit lately, is standing at the table.

I don't know the exact age, but I don't have that crude culture in this world where my brother is one or two years old. Most of them are friends because they are apprentices.

“What about Chef Ramsey? ”

“He's in the kitchen. ”

“How are you today? ”

“There's nothing wrong with Primera. This place is chilly these days. Chef Irene of Primera is developing a new course, so everyone's eating there. ”

The little chef. Looks pretty decent.

Chef Irene met once before. I saw the problem with Rosetta's ingredients when I went to Primera to request for supplies.

At that time, I doubted her because she looked ridiculous, but she was a genius. Even Chef Ramsey is quite different in age, but he is better than Chef Ramsey.

That means that the older you get and the more experienced you become, the stronger you become.

“That's a relief. I hope Rosetta gets inspired by the high crowds. ”

“That's not our problem, is it? ”

I nodded. It is not too late after becoming a formal butler.

Rosetta is a second restaurant anyway. The flagship restaurant of the Adeline family is Primera, the first restaurant. If there was an issue there, it was natural for this side to be sober.

I'll come and eat with the lesser knights, the deacons, and the lesser nobles, so there won't be any problem with the response.

I went to the kitchen to say hello to Chef Ramsay.

“Chef Ramsey. ”

“Dylan! Welcome. You're here for dinner, right? ”

“Yes. I'll owe you another day. ”

“What do I owe you? I've worked hard, but I deserve good food. Have a seat and wait. Dinner's almost ready. ”

I nodded my head for a moment. You see Arwen stirring the ladle hard in one corner.

Since I started learning to cook in Rosetta while working as a maid, I could hardly meet her in private. It was too much work.

In addition to preparing food, Chef Ramsey is currently learning to cook, so I'm short on two.

“Hahaha! You're worried about your childhood friend. He's exhausted, but he's doing fine. Let me just put it to you as a compliment. What do you think we're going to do? ”

“That's good. I can't believe you got compliments from the chef. ”

“Actually, I already have a regular. ”

“A regular? Who's that? ”

Chef Ramsey smiles in contrition and points his finger up to the top floor.

“Miss Sapiella. ”

I laughed bloody. That's not exactly a regular in a real sense. We already have a personal relationship.

However, if Sapiella, who is famous for being tricky and cold, often visited her, it also felt good because it meant that she had improved her cooking skills in a short time.

“We look forward to seeing you in the future. Chef.”

“You'll be fine on your own. Surprisingly, I was badly scolded yesterday, but he didn't run away. ”

“He may look a little dazed on the outside, but he's trying to get things done perfectly. That's why I stayed with Miss Sapiella for so long. ”

“I'll take that under advisement.”

Then Rosetta's door opens wide.

A butler jumps up and down. Seeing you sweating, something urgent has happened.

“Chef Ramsey! ”

He was a butler, not an apprentice. So the apprentice, I stepped back a little.

“You……. ”

Chef Ramsey seems to know the butler. The butler said, choosing his breath as much as he could.

“This is bad! We've got a problem on the Primera side! ”

“Problem? What do you mean? ”

“Chef Irene was burned. The countertops caught fire. Phew.”

“Excuse me?”

Chef Ramsey narrows his eyes. Irene seems more concerned about other matters than being hurt.

“And the Viceroy's banquet? ”

“I was told you'd be eating in Rosetta today. So, like this. ”

The butler chose to breathe with an embarrassing look on his face. Chef Ramsey's eyes glow like a beast who discovered a game.

“How many?”

“Twelve in total. I heard that not only you and the others are with you. ”

Twelve. It's not easy.

Preparing three or four meals is different from preparing twelve meals. We need to cook it so that the food can go out at the same time.

Rosetta's facilities do not allow twelve dishes to be dispatched at once. The sequence of courses, the way they are cooked, must be changed.

Chef Ramsey, however, smiles.

“Here comes a good opportunity. I was anxious because I haven't had many customers lately. All right, tell the viceroy I'll go get ready. ”

“How much time do you need? ”

“An hour is enough. ”

The butler nods, running back the way he came, and Chef Ramsay enters the kitchen.

“Everyone stop! ”

“Yes, Chef! ”

“The Viceroy will have his supper ready at once! All other dishes are off the menu! ”

He starts to bend the kitchen with a distinctive hanging voice. My dinner is about to fly away. Where are we going for dinner?

“Prepare 12 people immediately for course A! I cook main dishes myself. Bring out all the ingredients! As good as you can! ”

“Yes!”

Disobedience fell to James, the apprentice in charge here. Not long after his assignment, he was, of course, in complete chaos.

It's as simple as setting a table for 12 and having a drink.

“Dylan! What do I do? What do we do first? ”

I sighed as I saw him ask.

I don't have time to explain in words. Setting the table is not easier than viewing. If only the dinner was owned by the late Adeline.

I remembered my favorite soccer player's motto.

Yeah, well, if it's too much trouble, I'll have to run. It would be nice to meet the Viceroy's respect one more time.

“Gloves first. ”

I wore white gloves with James. You can't wear a formal butler's uniform, but artisans don't blame the tools.

I walked to the table in the middle.
