Chapter 31: An exclusive maid is attached

From the point of view of me who grew up normally in Japan, the thought of having a servant always by my side makes me feel tired.

“By the way, can she re-enroll after graduating?”

“Don’t worry about that … It’s not often, but it happens once in a while…”

“Really?”

“A person who becomes a servant must be excellent … she mainly takes care of the master she serves, but she can’t lose her grades meanwhile. Her grades can’t be worse than the servants of other families. And everyone’s desperate because they could smear the name of their master’s house. “

“I see … So, if you’re a graduate with excellent grades, you don’t have to worry about studying … By the way, what’s does taking care of the master entail?”

“It would be better for Iris to explain.”

“Yes. I also do cleaning, laundry, prepare daily meals, and help in studying. Also, being an escort is one of my jobs.”

“Escort? It seems that my life will be comfortable cause you’re doing various things, but why an escort?”

“As the Duke said, there are many people who maliciously approach those who have a high dignity. It’s also the duty of the servant to prevent you from being involved with such people. For physical matters, I also learned swordsmanship so I can protect you to some extent. “

“Physical … it sounds pretty ugly. By the way, what’s your level?”

“My race level is 28, and my skill level of the sword is [Sword saint] level 3.”

Even if I was told that, nothing comes to my mind …

“♪ There are 5 levels of sword proficiency: [Swordfighter] → [Sword saint] → [Sword Demon] → [Sword King] → [Sword God]. There are 10 skill levels at each stage, so [Sword saint] level 3 is about the same as a medium adventurer. If your race level exceeds 20, it will be more difficult to raise your level so it would be difficult to raise the level while working as a servant. “

“What about you brother?”

“I can’t say it here”

“That’s right … you can’t expose the level of the next king.”

“♪ Jail’s race level is 32, and his sword proficiency is [Sword Demon] level 4. It’s not as good as an elite knight, but it’s a big deal considering his age. “

“How about Luke’s level?”

When I saw my brother’s face, he nodded … Is it okay to say it?

“My race level is 20 and my sword proficiency is [swordfighter] level 8.”

“[Swordfighter] Level 8 … It’s low for something you learned since you were a child …”

This level of mine went up when I killed the high level assassin alone.

Without the bandit extermination, it might have been a problem cause my information would differ from what the Duke had.

Luke’s racial level was 18, right? … I was finally able to activate the intermediate magic of the main attribute I’m good at.

“I want to check with Iris …”

“Yes, please ask me anything.”

“I think that when you become my servant, you may gain a lot of weird rumours, but are you prepared for that?”

“… Yes. I’ve heard terrible rumors about His Royal Highness Luke … Anyway, when graduates re-enter the school, we start again from the beginning, so I’m prepared for it.”

“Ah, is there’s an age difference with those who will be classmates … still If you’re a graduate with a high grade, the people around you will be careful.”

“Okay……”

“And this is important, so I’ll confirm … Iris is the eldest daughter of the Count family? someone as beautiful as you, wouldn’t you already have a fiancé? Can you be my servant?”

“I’ve gotten a lot of proposals, but I’m not engaged to anyone …”

“Why? It’s not like the Androphobia with Miss Emilia… What do your parents think?”

“… I couldn’t find a good lord while I was in school, so I was about to get married because of my father’s introduction …. My mother objected and I got an aristocratic apprenticeship at the Duke’s house. I got two years’ grace again. “

“I don’t really understand this aristocratic apprenticeship …”

“Luke … are you really saying that?”

“I’m sorry, brother …”

“Hmm … By working as a servant of a higher-ranking aristocrat, you will learn how to behave as an aristocrat. Once you are used, you can understand the servant’s way of thinking and how they feel when they work. “

“I see … Then we also work as butlers at some house after graduation, right?”

“Of course not! Luke, we of the royal family can’t be put under people! Think about why you were thoroughly educated by the head maid and the butler who were stricter than when you were a child! “

“That’s right … Anyway, Iris doesn’t mind if weird rumors come up, right?”

“Yes. If I can learn the knowledge and tips of His Royal Highness Luke as a recovery healer, I don’t care about public rumors!”

“Well, wait … I understand Miss Iris’s feelings, but there are various problems with Luke … Luke, do you understand your role?”

It’s an unpleasant question … but it’s probably the most important thing that the Duke should keep in mind …

“Siring a person who’ll be the next heir of the Duke’s family?”

Perhaps Duke Guile isn’t willing to give me the Duke’s rank … he’s still young enough. He probably intends for me to give birth to a boy with his daughter and educate him from an early age to make him the next lord.

“Yes … but my brother wants more …”

“More?”

“He’s asking you to leave as many of your excellent attribute genes in this country as possible … My brother seems to have offered 10 people in exchange for you this time. This country has overwhelmingly low holy attribute mages. There aren’t many, so my brother was very happy to hear about Miss Iris … “

Iris also has holy as her main attribute …

“That means that for one person, 10 people were sent to be brides or son-in-laws instead?”

“That’s right … That’s why he asked to have at least 10 children … But that’s not possible with Emilia alone … Anna and Lara could be married if they’re good, get it”

Sister bowl! Complete stallion treatment! Jeez!

“Can you hear my intentions and opinions?”

“Of course I’ll respect your will, but … if you’re as rumored, it’s okay isn’t it?”

As rumored … Do you think I’m an erotic kid in the height of puberty?

“Hmm … I have no experience with women, okay? It’s true that I’m naughty, but I’ve never been as unscrupulous as rumors say.”

“Is that so? I heard that you had been out of the house for almost two weeks in a brothel”

“Well, that’s true … but I wasn’t doing anything. I didn’t have a place to go, so I just handed  the money and stayed there, thinking they would never find me.”

“Well … Emilia’s feelings aside, it’s also true that we want a lot of excellent genes in this country. So Iris … If your father can let you be a concubine, and you still want to be a servant, I’ll allow it … “

“That’s a muddy word, but is it an absolute requirement to be a concubine and have a child! Such an unreasonable condition is unnecessary!”

“I don’t need Luke’s opinion on this matter … it’s a matter of Miss Iris’ feelings.”

“If His Highness Luke wants me, I’m ready …”

“Hey? Is it okay to be embraced by a man you don’t like?”

” Luke-sama, that’s not the case … It’s not just anyone!. I respect you, and if I have to get married to a man I don’t even like two years later, your Imperial Highness Luke is definitely better. “

“Eh! Iris, do you have a fat fetish?”

“That’s not the case! It’s definitely better to be thin and trained! Ah … I’m sorry … I’m also a food clerk, so I’ll take this opportunity to help you lose weight …”

I said something extra and made her a little angry … She’s saying something, but I wonder if it’s okay …

In the subsequent exchanges, Iris was officially chosen as my exclusive maid.
