Nn...... un.......'
I woke up in the morning and slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes.
I then shifted my gaze to Farrah, who was sleeping cutely next to ,
Then she mumbled, "Uu......n", turned over and wrapped herself up in the duvet.
I couldn't help but smile at that situation and say, "Hmmm, that's cute".
Shortly afterwards, I quietly got off the bed and covered her with the quilt again.
Then I started to change my own clothes.
When I had finished dressing, I heard a slightly sleepy voice from the bed saying, "That's ...... and this is ......", so I turned around and called out to her gently.
Good morning, Fara. Did you sleep well?"
'Master Rid, ......?'
In response to my call, she was staring at with her upper body raised from the bed.
Apparently, she is still sleepy.
However, she huffed and hastily hid her face with the quilt.
'That's right. ...... This is not my room, but Master Rid's room, right? I'm sorry, I was actually planning to get up early so as not to bother Master Rid. ......"
'Haha, don't worry about it. And ......."
After a pause, as if daring to be hesitant, she looked out of the duvet under which she had been hiding and tilted her head.
What's that ...... ?"
'And I get to see Fara's pretty sleeping face.
'...... eh⁉'
When I tell her with a slightly wicked smile, she blushes and hides under the quilt again while moving her ears.
I kept smiling at Fara's words and actions like that all the ti.
Afterwards, she regains her composure and returns to the guest room, the room prepared for her with Asuna, and leaves my room to freshen up.
At this ti, I had also finished changing my clothes, so I decided to walk her to the guest room.
Then, as we walk, I tell her about my plans for today.
'We talked a little yesterday, but today, after breakfast at the mansion, I'm going to show you around the new mansion, so look forward to it.'
'Yes, I'm really looking forward to it now.'
When she replies with a smile, I shift my gaze to Asuna and call out to her.
And Asuna. I've also prepared the indoor training ground ...... requested by you, or to put it more simply, the 'dojo', so please look forward to it."
"Oh, my God, is it true?!"
As soon as Asuna heard what I had to say, her expression brightened with a flash.
And because she ca so close and so vigorously, I involuntarily backed away and chuckled.
'Ha, ha ...... I'm glad you're so pleased, I'm happy too.'
'Yes, I am touched. I must definitely ask for a hand-to-hand combat with Master Rid and the Knights.'
'...... please go easy on it. It's a new building and I hope you won't let it cost you a lot of money to repair it.'
Pushed by Asuna's montum, I answer a bit like a nail in the coffin.
But she nodded without breaking into a smile.
'That's of course. Well, I'm looking forward to it, Princess.'
'Hmm, yes.'
Fara said, smiling and nodding at Asuna's words.
As they walk around chatting, we arrive at the guest room that has been prepared for the girls.
'Well, I'll leave you to it then. We're all having breakfast together in the canteen, if you want to join , Fara."
"Yes, I'd be happy to join you."
Thank you. I'll go ahead and tell the others."
After saying that, I said goodbye to Farah and Asuna and headed for the cafeteria.
◇
When I arrived at the cafeteria, Capella and Diana were already there.
As soon as I greeted them and sat down, Diana made a cup of tea and put it in front of .
"Thank you, Diana."
That's very kind of you.'
She bowed quickly and stepped back.
In turn, Capella speaks to .
'Master Rid, I summarised yesterday the activities of the Second Order while we were in Renalute. I understand that you will be spending ti with Farah today, so please take a look at these docunts before your breakfast."
'Thank you, Capella. But you were also tired after returning from Renalute, weren't you? You mustn't push yourself too hard. Ellen will be worried.
'Thank you for your concern. But Ellen was aware of this, so there is nothing to worry about. I also took a nap while working on it."
'Ha ha ...... I think that's reckless. Everything must be carried out in moderation."
"I understand. I will be careful from now on."
When he nodded, I received the docunts from him and read through them while drinking the tea that Deanna had made.
The Second Order carries out a wide range of tasks, including road maintenance, charcoal production and territorial security.
If the main task of the First Order, led by my father, is to maintain security, the Second Order's main task could be described as public works.
As far as I can see from the docunts I've been given, no problems seem to have arisen.
Well, I heard that there was an incident where so of the kids who were a bit rough around the edges competed with each other on how well they did their jobs, and it turned out to be a bit of a festival, but that hasn't been a big problem either.
Having finished reading, I presented the docunt to Capella.
'It doesn't seem to be causing any major problems, particularly".
'Yes. In addition, I heard that you are planning to visit the Second Order's accommodation today with Fara-sama, so I have told all mbers of the Second Order to be on standby."
Receiving the docunts, I continued talking.
'Yes, I intend to introduce her to all the mbers of the Second Order today after showing Fara around the new house.
I smiled and nodded at his answer.
'Okay, thanks for arranging that, Capella."
'It's a most extraordinary thing, master . I hope I can be of service.'
When I saw him bowing and replying, I was reminded of sothing.
'Oh, by the way, Capella and Ellen's wedding hasn't taken place yet, right?
'Yes, that's right. I'm not really able to talk much about that because she and I are both quite busy.'
I'm sure he didn't an to offend, but his words are grueso and stick in the mind.
It is true that I have asked Ellen and Capella to do quite a bit of work for in the past.
With an unintentionally clichéd look on my face, I replied with a wry smile.
'Haha ...... that's a pity, as I'm the one who's been keeping you guys busy ....... Oh, well then. We should organise a wedding for you guys next ti.'
"Ours? ....."
The answer may have been unexpected, but Capella was unusually perplexed.
At that ti, I felt so passionate glances from Deanna behind .
For my part, I really want Capella and Ellen to be happy.
And they are also subjects of the Bardia family, who serve .
That's why I want to congratulate them from the bottom of my heart on their departure.
I smiled and continued my story as if to fold it up.
'Capella and Ellen are always helping . I'll help you with the wedding preparations. So, I will see what I can do.'
Not long after he had finished, he nodded, smiling.
'Yes, thank you. My wife Ellen will be very happy to hear that."
'Well, then, it's decided. Let's discuss it next ti."
At that mont, when the conversation between Capella and I had settled down, Deanna, who had been waiting for , suddenly raised her hand.
'Master Rid, may I have a word?'
"......? What's wrong?"
I wonder if it has anything to do with the heated gaze I felt earlier.
I feel sothing shining from Diana's eyes.
In response to my question, she began to answer in a matter-of-fact manner.
'With all due respect, Capella and Ellen-san are subjects in the service of the Bardia family. Therefore, I think it would be best if we hold the wedding ceremony in the imperial culture.'
'I see. ...... That may indeed be the case."
If they were ordinary people, people around them would not have any say in the formality of the wedding ceremony.
However, when it cos to the Bardia family vassal ceremony, it may be necessary to be aware of what people around them see.
When I muttered to myself while thinking this, Capella, who was watching the situation, began to talk.
'I'm not particularly concerned about the formality of the wedding ceremony. I don't know until I hear it, but I think Ellen probably isn't concerned about it either.
'I see. Then, for the ti being, let's proceed in the direction of having a ceremony in the imperial style".
At the sa ti as I nodded, Diana coughed deliberately.
"Master Rid, Capella-san. I have so knowledge of imperial weddings, and I think I can help you."
'All right. Then, I will ask Deanna to cooperate with you. Is that all right with Capella?
Yes. Ellen will be pleased to know that she can consult with Diana'.
At the ti when it was agreed that Capella and Ellen would hold their wedding ceremony, Father, l and Farah also ca to the dining room.
Fara and the others also ca to the dining room.
I whisper to Capella and Diana.
'Well, we'll talk about what you said earlier another ti."
The two bail out with a look of awe on their faces.
'I'll be back later."
After that, I finished the conversation and called out to Fara.
