“… Huh, it’s a treat”
“Dear Mr. Wilhelm,
Finish your lunch and clear your basket. Again, Master Wilhelm is also a man. There were so many lunch baskets from me that they were splendidly emptied.
It was mainly made by Chris, but my potato salad was also eaten as delicious. There is no happier happiness.
And after a meal, time to drink tea and thus talk to Master Wilhelm.
Am I so happy and good?
“They were all delicious. What was it that Carol made?
“What I have made is a potato salad”
“Right. That was delicious, too. The seasoning was exquisite. I’ve lived alone for a long time, so I can cook a lot, but Carol’s already over the top.”
Ugh.
I just followed Chris’ instructions for dispensing condiments. It’s never about my strength.
But also about that rating, you should get it from now on. In time, I will make all Wilhelm’s meals.
For that, cooking practice is essential from now on.
“Oh, yeah. You don’t have to come tomorrow.”
“Huh…”
My heart, which was playing with a groom, is suddenly kicked down.
I thought I would enjoy dining with Master Wilhelm every day from now on.
No way, you’re still bothering me……
“No, no. Don’t look like that. Tomorrow there will be a patrol to the local knights. Near-field, so if you leave in the morning, you’ll be back at night.”
“Local Knights, is it?
“Mm-hmm. There’s a complaint in there that the Knights of Count Hans are apparently committing injustice. Now there is no battle, and Non is quite free to move. I thought I’d take this opportunity to make a patrol.”
“Really? Master Wilhelm is very enthusiastic about his work.”
Good. Was it for work?
Master Wilhelm is still in the position of chief of the knighthood, and there must be a lot of work to be done in this way. If you ever call me lonely, etc., it will get in the way of Master Wilhelm.
Let me show you that I am a lady of understanding.
“What else does Master Wilhelm do for you?
“Mm… right”
To my question, Master Wilhelm puts his hand on his chin.
I didn’t ask you a difficult question, but it seems so diverse that you can’t answer it in one word.
“First of all, it’s a war. Assuming a battle occurs with a neighbor, Noon must be sent out. In that case, a few months… you won’t be able to come home for a year longer”
“Well…”
For a year, it’s hard just to keep waiting.
Even though, it’s a battlefield where your life is in danger. I will, like every day, recruit and cry.
If you can, it’s best not to be like that.
“Normally…… Non has a lot of work to do. Local Knights patrols must be conducted regularly, and training must be seen. I also have paperwork to submit to the Royal Palace. Besides, if you don’t train yourself, you won’t be able to fight what has become a battle.”
“Well… you’re busy. So, isn’t it always too late to go home?
“Right. I always do paperwork after my normal training supervisor. I don’t usually go home before the sun changes.”
“No!”
Oh, my God.
Dear Wilhelm, your work is too burdensome for one Wilhelm. Isn’t such paperwork supposed to be done by the clerical way?
No matter how many knighthood captains you are, you don’t know when your body will scream if you get busy working like that.
Besides, even after you welcome me to your wife, you seem too lonely for such a job to continue.
“This also serves as the leader of the Knights.”
“But… Aren’t you too busy?
“What, I keep my vacation clear. Once a week, make sure you have an off duty day. I wouldn’t be so busy if I didn’t force myself to make a day off.”
“But not having a holiday is also a burden on your body.”
“That’s right. Besides, Non is in the position of Knights Commander.”
I snort.
Master Wilhelm is the greatest of the Knights. That’s why there are so many jobs and responsibilities.
“If the man above doesn’t rest, neither can the man below”
“Yes…… is it?
“Oh. If Noh serves every day, that’s all the burden around him. If Non continues to work every day, those below cannot rest with care. That’s why people who stand on top need to rest.”
The words are understandable.
If it is true that Master Wilhelm is not on leave, you will also be tempted to apply for the leave at your own convenience.
Master Wilhelm’s thoughts are great, but it’s too heavy for me to accept them.
“…… but Carol is worried”
“Hmmm…… but it’s been going on for over twenty years now. It’s not that worrying. It’s been a year, and it doesn’t take a doctor to do it.”
“Ugh…”
Should we accept it more than Master Wilhelm is told is good at it?
But still.
Master Wilhelm is too pushy.
“That’s why”
“… Yes”
“Non is a man who cannot look after his family.”
Ha, and look up.
Master Wilhelm was staring at me with a serious look.
As if.
Like you’re determined to do something.
“Even if he welcomes his wife, Non will serve her sooner than his wife wakes up and return home later than she sleeps. Even on off-duty days, Non rests his body all day. When it comes to war, we leave the house empty for a long time… such a person should not have a home or anything”
“Dear Wilhelm,”
“I would have missed it, Carol. Non is thus a man who thinks only of himself. There is no need to get involved in the likes of Non.”
It’s like.
That’s what they say about me when it’s annoying.
“But if that’s Wilhelm’s job…”
“Are you confident you won’t be dissatisfied? How confident are you that you won’t be dissatisfied with one thing when you see Non go to work all the time without looking at home?
……
Maybe, no, absolutely, I would be dissatisfied.
In this way, even the lunch-only meeting is unhappy. I want to be with Master Wilhelm more.
If I could have been a wife in the future… my greed would have been stronger.
So I can’t answer Master Wilhelm’s query.
“Carol.”
“… Yes”
“Non is such a person. Carol can look for a companion that suits her position. Those who control the Knights don’t need a home. A man who can’t care less if he welcomes his wife.”
“… Wilhelm, my lord”
Naturally, tears accumulate.
As it is, I’m sure Master Wilhelm feels like he’s trying to distance himself from me.
This is just my selfishness. Master Wilhelm asked me to answer honestly to my selfishness like this.
But.
I admire Wilhelm.
“You don’t like Carol, do you?
“It’s not like that. I’m sorry. You shouldn’t be involved with people like Nong and wonderful women like Carol. Explain to His Majesty…”
“Dear Wilhelm, if you don’t need to talk about Carol… yes, they do.”
No more such a world is worth living.
I can’t believe I want to live in a world like that.
So.
“Carol bites his tongue and dies…”
“Carol!”
Master Wilhelm raised his anger at blocking my words like that.
My body trembles unexpectedly.
Why not?
How could you be so.
Are you angry?
“… it was a treat. Non has an errand. Go home.”
“Dear Wilhelm!
“Go home”
From the reception room, Master Wilhelm will come out.
I can only just drop it off with despair. I don’t know what to be sad about. I don’t know what to mourn.
I made Master Wilhelm angry.
Just.
There were no stops, tears overflowing, speechless.
