69 69 sharp maids

"Good morning, Eliane. Let me help you get dressed."

"Yes, yes. Thank you very much."

Morning.

Abby brought me some clothes and I can still do it today.

Let her dress up like a dressed doll.

I refused the first one every time.

No, this is my job. Please don't worry. "

and Abby is pushing through, so I've been getting her to do what she wants recently.

Still, before Abby came, she sometimes changed on her own, but every time she said, "I can't help it anymore."

Just because I'm of the same sex, it's kind of bad to have you help me change clothes...

"Hah...."

"What's the matter, Eliane?

Abby wrinkles his neck.

You mustn't.

Looks like she exhaled.

"... does Abby have anyone you like?

"Wow, it's me?

The tone of voice rose slightly, Abby.

It's unusual for Abby to get a little upset. It's a little cute.

"You're not here. Sometimes my parents introduce me to a man, but I don't have a good one. And, folks, you're gonna say terrible things!

"Is that terrible...?

"Yes, ladies and gentlemen, when I'm fiancée, I want you to stop the maid. You don't want that, do you?"

No... I think that's common...

I've never heard of anyone who continues to make a maid even after getting married.

Incidentally -- actually, Abby is also the daughter of a baron.

In the first place, maids who work in royal palaces often have a noble status.

I work as a maid as a bride teacher before marriage. If you're lucky, you might be able to connect with the royal family.

"Why do you stick to maids? Aren't you ready to settle down?

"What are you talking about! If I quit the maid, I can't take care of you or Nigel!

Abby stops his work and talks with momentum.

"I will always take care of you! I won't quit even if they tell me to!

"I'm not telling you to quit..."

But her obsession with maids means she cares so much about Nigel.

Or... me?

It would be nice if I included it.

"Dear Elaine, Why are you asking me that question all of a sudden?

Now Abby asks.

"Well, that's not a big reason. I was a little curious...."

"... hahahn"

Did you think something was wrong when you looked at me?

Abby smiles.

There's something going on with Nigel.

Gikku.

"That's right...."

"What are you ashamed of? And there's nothing strange about it with your fiancée. It's going to be a fine couple."

Even if you try to deny it, Abby doesn't spin the words because she talks like a roll.

I've already told Abby that I'm engaged to Nigel.

Only some people still know about this, but Abby and I decided... that we could tell them.

Ever since Nigel was a little girl, it seems Abby has been taking care of him. You didn't want to hide anything from her, did you?

"Ah, yes."

I've just finished getting dressed.

Abby claps his hands at Pong.

"I'm going to go to Nigel now. I'll go with you, Miss Eliane. Would you like to talk to your fiancée?

"No, no... I'm getting in the way of my work."

"That's fine!

Even if I refused, Abby took the hand by force.

Eh, uh!

It was yesterday and it was a little awkward!

But Abby pulled my hand and I was taken to Nigel.

◆ ◆

Go to Nigel's room.

I thought about what to say, but fortunately I didn't have any trouble talking about it.

"The lord is coming?

I overhear what he said.

"Yeah, that's right. I want Elianne to see him."

"It's fine, but suddenly...."

"What? Didn't I tell you?

"I didn't say that!

I guess so.

Nigel smiles happily.

—— When Abby and I went to the room, he started talking about "just in time."

That's why... no, thanks to that, I'm off the point.

I also feel like it's a real issue.

"Who is it?

"His name is Vincent. The title is the Duke. In terms of location, you've recently made a new dungeon. I'm getting a lord nearby now."

A new dungeon in Lynch Giham territory. This is where many undead monsters and adventurers were hanging around.

"Why suddenly?

"They want to thank you for the holy water. Thanks to Eliane's creation, the dungeon strategy is going smoothly. And then... there's all sorts of other things, but if I list them one by one, they won't kill me."

That's right.

The Duke of Vincent...

It is not uncommon for a lord to visit a royal palace. This has happened several times before.

But why would Nigel bother letting Vincent see me this time?

"The Duke of Vincent has been Nigel's classmate since college."

Prefetch such a question from me, or Abby will explain it.

"You're a very good person. I was wondering if I could be relieved."

"Since college... hmm? Does that mean you're the same age as Nigel?

That's what I'm talking about.

Nigel explained to me instead when I cut my neck.

"You work for a lord even though you're so young."

"Yeah, Vincent lost his father when he was a kid. Of course, it has the power of ministers and kinsmen, but it is very well organized. He's a good guy."

Nigel talked to her parents.

You're a very good person. That's what I felt from his tone.

"I'm looking forward to seeing someone like that. So... when is Vincent coming?

Today.

"Ki, today!?

"Yeah, what's the problem?

"Too sudden!

When I saw Nigel's face, I smiled.

Did you suddenly want to tell me and see my scary face?

Nigel, the joke is over!

... but now.

"But you can't say that. Don't be rude."

"Yes, I think it's okay if you don't strain your elbows. Vincent doesn't give a shit about manners. I think it's okay with the usual Arne."

Nevertheless, that's not how it works. My feelings.

But is he very kind? When I hear it, I feel like I don't have to worry so much.

But I saw it.

Abby looked anxious.

"Abby, what's wrong? What are you worried about?

"No... I don't think you need to worry about that, but there was one concern."

"Concern?

"Yes, Vincent is a very good person. I've met him before, and I'm sure of it. It's just...."

Abby told me the story and I felt like I was freezing.
