The unfazed maid

"... Thanks for the totally unflattering compliment, Shreegan. And since I'm here with a lady, you might want to introduce yourself to her."

"Oh, excuse me. My name is Shreegan, Master Shin's personal guard."

Shreegan similes towards the lady.

''I apologize for being rude. I'm Belle, the maid assigned to Miss Serea. It's nice to meet you.''

... This maid looks unfazed. She's the first woman I've ever seen who wasn't afraid to look at Shreegan's smile.

"What's going on here?"

When Shreegan asked her, the maid, Miss. Bell, said,

"The young lady has suddenly fallen ill."

"Its bad luck that it happened on this day of all days. If she had been unwell you could had told us and we would had rescheduled it. Our prince would never be offended by such a thing."

"Hmmm it isn't like that."

I can't really tell either of them about what had happened. How can I even explain that the moment the duke's daughter saw me face, she started screaming and then collapsed?

Belle pondered for a moment before speaking.

"As soon as the young lady saw His Highness' face, she collapsed with a scream."

You said that? You really said that?　That's impressive, Miss Belle! You have no hesitation even with me standing beside you!

"Wow ..."

No Shreegan, that reaction is a bit .... Stop making a mockery of it in front of the person in question!

"I apologize for the repeated rudeness, as the maid to the young lady. I ask the prince not to abandon the young lady, please."

"No, that's .... Of course I wouldn't do that. Because I haven't even said a word to her yet."

This maid who is asking me not to abandon the young lady without a change in her face is also kind of amazing. How confident of her.

"Madame Maid, no, Miss Belle, our Prince, did the young lady really look at his face and screamed?"

Please don't pursue this any longer Shreegan. Can't you read the irritation on my face?

"Yes there is nothing wrong. From my point of view, Master Shin is as lovely as an angel. I have no doubt that he will become a beautiful young man and make many women cry in the future. If I were ten years younger, I would've happily joined Master Shin's harem."

"That's true ...."

... Hey, why does everyone think I'm making a harem?　Do I look like that? What do I look like?

That's enough .... Let's hurry up and go home, Shreegan ...

"I'm sorry, I have to go. I'll be in touch with you later about my visit."

"Yes, thank you for visiting us today."

We left the Duke's villa after being seen off by Belle, who bowed deeply as she made that statement.

"Shreegan, did you hear what kind of girl Miss Serea is from the others?"

Today was a tea party, so it was a leisurely visit, so I came in a small two-seater carriage. The coachman is Shreegan and it was only me and Shreegan.

"I heard that she is a somewhat spoiled, selfish and extravagant young lady, but I've never seen a daughter of a nobleman who isn't. Well, I guess she's just a normal young lady."

She lives in the duke's land and rarely comes to the King's Palace, so I had never met her before and I had no information about her.

That's why I like Shreegan so much, though, because of the way he talks about her, which is so transparent and blunt. His face is scary, but he's a man who can be trusted.

"And yet, did you see that?!"

I know ... Serea is a beautiful girl with long black hair. I had merely gotten a glimpse before she fell sick. It was truly a pity.

"That maid wasn't afraid of me!"

There you go!　That's more important to you! What about me? Huh?

"Yeah, that was a rarity. I've never seen a woman who isn't afraid of Shreegan's face either."

She's a maid attached to a young lady. Maybe she has a lot of courage.

No, I think what kind of young lady would be boring if her maids has this much of a spirit?

"Does that mean I have a chance?!"

That's awesome, man. How positive and good of you to think that just because Belle wasn't afraid that she'll give you her love.

"What are you thinking, Shreegan? I'm here today to meet the woman who's going to be my wife, you know? I'm not here to find your wife, you know?"

"I'm always looking for a woman to be my wife twenty-four hours a day, though."

Yes, yes, yes. I won't say how unattractive you are, Shreegan, because if I tell you how unattractive you are, you'll be too sad to properly drive the carriage, so I won't say it.

"You're coming back here, right, Master Shin!"

"Of course I'll come, I promised."

Our reasons were different for coming back but at least Shreegan and I both wanted to come back.

I don't know how many times I'm going to have to look forward to this. I wonder if we have to keep going back to that place over and over again. I'm getting a little nervous.
