Chapter 7 - 3

The man who yelled at Ziel was a male knight. He has long shoulder-length silver hair tied at the end. He wears shiny silver armor just like his hair. Judging by the armor he's wearing. He looks like a guardian knight of the princesses.

Ziel was silent to see the knight yelling at him. Don't know what expression is behind the mask. Makes the male knight even angrier.

"Why are you quiet? Are you can't talk!?" He shouted louder with his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Hearing such provocations Ziel did not feel anger or anything. But Princess Elise's angry heard the male knight say that..

"Why are you yelling like that Theodore? I'm the one who asked him to take off his mask. Why do you think he acted insolently on me?" Princess Elise scolded the male knight.

"Sor.. Sorry, Princess Elise. I thought that servant was acting insolent to you. So I can't contain my anger." The male knight replied afraid of princess Elise's words.

"Back off..."

After Princess Elise said that. The male knights immediately retreated and stood guard behind the Princesses sister.

"So Elise what are you doing this time?" The long silver-haired girl asked Princess Elise.

"I didn't do anything nee-sama. I just saw him in the corner wearing a mask. So I'm curious." Princess Elise answered the Girl's question.

"So you asked him to take off his mask?" The girl asked Princess Elise again in a serious tone.

"Yes...hehe." Princess Elise chuckled in response.

Hearing Princess Elise's answer the girl could only massage her forehead.

"I'm sorry for what my sister has done. I haven't introduced myself properly. I'am the first Princess of Argaint Kingdom. My name is Aishia Argaint. I'm pleased to be your acquaintance." The Princess introduced herself while pinching the tip of her dress.

"Your Highness Princess doesn't have to think about it. My name is Ziel Grisel. I'm a servant who took part in this event. I'm honored to make you an acquaintance."

Ziel slightly bent his body while placing his right hand on his chest.

"For a young servant, your manners look very good and tasteful." Princess Aishia praised Ziel with a smile.

"I am honored to receive such praise from Your Highness Princess Aishia." Ziel once again bowed his body answering Princess Aishia.

"But why are you wearing a mask? Wouldn't you be suspected of wearing something like that?" Princess Aishia tilted her head confused at the person wearing the mask in front of her.

"I wear this mask to cover my burn scars from people. So as not to scare and disgust others your highness." Ziel replied half honestly.

"Please don't be too stiff, You can call me Aishia, can I see your burn scars? Because Elise will constantly whine if the thing she wants is not followed. For that, I ask for your apology." Princess Aishia with a difficult face asked Ziel to remove his mask.

"Yes, Princess Aishia. But you will be afraid and disgusted when seeing it." Ziel only agreed because it was difficult to refuse requests from the royal family.

Ziel doubted whether he would take off his mask or not, but finally agreed to it.. Before Princess Aishia answered it. Princess Elise interrupts her.

"I wouldn't be scared and disgusted by anything like that. Right, nee-sama?" Princess Elise said with confidence.

"Yes, she's not a girl who is afraid of anything like that. Hehe..." Princess Aishia chuckled in her approval.

Seeing princess sisters smiling like that. He had no choice but to take his mask off for them.

"Excuse me..."

Ziel takes off his mask and saw the Princess sisters are silent. He was confused. Before he asked, Ziel heard the voice of the girl like a musical melody.

"Is mark on your face really because burning?"

The person who speaks is a long golden-haired girl with a tiara on it. In an elegant white dress. White skin is no less beautiful than Princess Aishia.

"Yes, that's it." Ziel replied short.

"But the mark on your face is at first glance similar to a magic circle. Isn't that right Aishia?" The golden-haired girl still couldn't believe it.

"Yes if you look carefully it's similar to a magic circle but not very clear." Princess Aishia agreed with her.

"Right? Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. I'am the first Princess of Aurelia Kingdom. My name is Freya Aurelia. I'm pleased to make your acquaintance." Princess Freya introduces herself elegantly

"My name is Ziel Grisel. As I said to Princess Aishia and Princess Elise. I'm just a servant. It's an honor to make acquaintance with you Princess Freya." Ziel bends over his body and politely introduces himself as before.

"As I told you. This mark on my face is a burn. The result of my carelessness during training became a servant." Then he explained the state of his face.

"Nee-sama can he be my servant?" Suddenly Princess Elise says an unexpected word. And what Princess Aishia answered is more unexpected.

"Of course, but we have to test his skills first. How are you willing to Ziel?" The Princess immediately agreed to the princess's request on condition.

Ziel paused for a moment before answer to Princess Aishia. He sighs in his mind.

"Yes, it's an honor to serve you. Please go to your table..." Ziel answered her as he bowed himself and placed his hand on his chest.

Then ziel invited them to their table. He pleases the Princesses to sit in their chair in manners. After that, he made tea in front of the princesses. His actions were truly skillful and extraordinary. Then he served the tea made to the princesses. The princesses started tasting the tea that he made.

"Delicious. The tea you made was amazing. This is the first time I've tasted tea like this. Smell and taste are amazing." Princess Aishia praised Ziel with a smile.

"You're right Aishia. This tea is amazing. Even in the Aurelia Kingdom, I've never tasted tea like this." Princess Freya agrees with the word from Princess Aishia

"You're right onee-sama, Freya nee-sama. So Ziel nii-san can be my servant, right?" Princess Elise asked hopefully.

"Of course..."

"Wait for a minute Princess. Accepting such a suspicious person to be Princess Elise's servant is very dangerous."

Before Princess Aishia answered. The male knight interrupted him. Showed his disapproval of the Princess's decision.

"What did you say theo? Do you have the right to decide what's good and not for me and Elise? Princess Aishia felt unhappy that the male knight suddenly cut off her speech.

"That's not what I meant Princess, but we have to be wary of suspicious people." The male knight replied to Princess Aishia politely.

"How can you say he's suspicious? Wasn't he fostered by the head court maid? And I don't need an opinion on this. It's my decision." Princess Aishia was still unhappy with his attitude.

"But..." The male knight was still unwilling to accept Princess Aishia's decision.

"Enough theo... This is my final decision. I don't want to hear that anymore." Princess Aishia cut his words firmly.

"Yaay!!..ahem Ziel from now on you will be my servant. There's only you alone. So you're going to become a butler for me." Princess Elise shouted happily before finally correcting her attitude.

Seeing Princess Elise smile broadly like that. Ziel has no other choice Besides to accept it. After all, this is the royal family's request.

"I'm honored to serve you, Princess Elise." Ziel put his hand on his chest and bowed to Princess Elise.

Imagining what would happen later he could only sigh. His new life as a butler is about to begin.
