CH 7

The morning after the first night, nothing happened, and when I left the private room after getting dressed, one of the two knights that was introduced as my personal escort knight was sitting by the door.

“Good morning, Princes Lilith.”

“Good morning, Sanse. I’m not in the same position as the Crown Princess, am I? I don’t think you need to escort me in the mansion.”

Since the crown princess is the next queen, I understand that she will always have a personal guard. However, isn’t it a waste of knights to assign an escort knight to the third prince’s wife, who doesn’t even go out, and a knight of the kingdom’s knight order, which is under the direct control of the king? It was what I thought.

“It is true that you are right, but since Your Highness is a human being, you never know when you will be targeted. The King has issued an order to protect you while His Highness Gresis is away, so please forgive me.”

Humans are targeted, just by saying that, you can understand how much humans are buying grudges from beastmen.

“Yes, it can’t be helped if it’s a royal order.”

I go to the dining room with the escort knight Sanse.

There is only one meal on the table in the dining room.

It was still seven o’clock in the morning.

A wife who doesn’t even see him off isn’t the image of an ideal wife.

At least I have to welcome him home.

“Hey, Dolph, I would like you to tell me in as much detail as possible what kind of life Prince Gresis usually leads.”

“Well, His Highness Gresis wakes up every morning around 5:00 and after training, he has breakfast around 6:00. Before 7:00 he goes to the knights’ office on the grounds of the royal palace. However, at the earliest, he would return at about 6:00, and he would have his supper at about 6:30. It may be later than that, and it’s rare, but he may stay at the knights’ office.”

“I’ve known since we met, but he’s busy.”

Even so, training from 5:00 in the morning, that toned body must be the result of that training.

“I will call you when he gets home.”

“Yes, please. Also, there’s something I want you to tell me.”

It was about monster meat.

“Are you going to send monster meat to the Seiran Kingdom?”

“Yeah, just a little is fine. I wanted my brother to eat it too. Can you do it?”

“There is no precedent, but it is probably possible. However, I don’t know unless I ask the chef about the stock.”

“Then I’ll ask the head chef. Can you tell me where the kitchen is?”

“Her Highness does not need to go directly to the kitchen. I will ask.”

Dolph offered to me, but I turned it down. If His Highness Gresis is busy, then Dolph, the butler, is bound to be busy as well.

“I thought I would personally thank the chef for the delicious meal, and I was plannihng to stop by the kitchen while learning about the mansion, but I wonder if it would be a nuisance if I went.”

“. . . No, Her Highness is not going to cause any trouble.”

I suddenly noticed Dolph’s indescribable expression.

Even if you think that about the royal family, you can’t say it’s a nuisance.

“I’m sorry, it looks like I was unreasonable. I won’t go to the kitchen after all. Could you tell the head chef to show up at lunch or dinner?”

“It’s not impossible. I’ll tell the head chef to show up.”

The expression on Dolph’s face as he said that was clearly of relief.

I want the people around Lilith to understand that she thinks differently from the other humans, but she never says the things she thinks that would show that because she is so worried about her image as an aristocrat.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter and thank you for reading!
