the sun is floating in the middle of the sky
I got up with my heavy body, pulled the curtains slightly, and stared blankly out the window.
“I overslept… … .”
I had never overslept like this because I had work every day at the academy, but the next day I knew nothing was going to happen, so I overslept.
Of course, it was also because I slept late last night.
I stayed awake until late in the morning, studying the magic of space.
When my father returns, I will learn space magic, so I was thinking of preparing in advance.
But space magic was surprisingly uninformed.
There are historical books and books praising its powers, but there are no books on how this magic was made and how to use it.
It was taken for granted that there were no books on space magic at the Academy because it was a secret of the Astria family, but there was no such book in the Astrian family library.
Four days since I came to the capital from the academy.
I couldn’t find it even though I searched for it during that time.
“Is it hidden somewhere else? … .”
It sounded quite reasonable.
In a way, it was natural to be careful in handling space magic, which can be said to be the greatest weapon of the Astria family.
I just had a hard time… … .
I sighed.
smart. A knock rang at my door.
“Did you cough?”
A maid’s voice was heard outside the door.
“okay.”
When I answered, some maids entered my room.
The maids walked through the tightly closed curtains and brought a towel and water to drink towards me.
I was not used to this kind of treatment, but it was not uncomfortable, so I accepted it naturally.
As I was choking with the glass of water the maids brought, a maid opened her mouth.
“Rudy. Lady Karen Meyer is waiting in the reception room.”
“… … What?”
I widened my eyes at the maid’s words.
Karen?
Why is that person all of a sudden?
When a nobleman and aristocrat meet, it is basic manners to ask the other person for their understanding.
There was no way the Count’s Young Ae was unaware of this fact.
“Did you come here for urgent business?”
“It doesn’t seem like that. It has been over two hours since you came.”
“two… … hour?”
You made someone wait three hours because you overslept?
Even though I didn’t make an appointment, I was very sorry.
“Why didn’t you wake me up?”
“sorry. Lady Karen Meyer told me not to wake her up.”
“Don’t wake me up? Did you have anything else to say?”
After a moment’s hesitation, the maid opened her mouth.
“that… … He smiled saying that he is used to waiting.”
“… … .”
I laughed, I’m used to waiting… … .
I’m in the mansion and I’ve known about Karen.
Karen has been Rudy’s childhood friend since childhood.
In the case of a high family, such as a duke, they live with a child of a similar family.
In the case of Rudy, the friend she was with was Karen.
From what I found out, Karen and Rudy weren’t really close friends.
Rudy often harassed Karen, but it is said that Karen came to the Astria family to see Rudy.
Still, I don’t know why Karen gave me that look.
If your childhood friend decides to lead a good life, shouldn’t you rather like him?
However, I didn’t feel like they were trying to use me as a fool.
The warm eyes that Karen saw for the first time seemed real.
After much deliberation, I thought that the conclusion I came to was the result of a sudden change in my childhood friend.
Wouldn’t it be awkward if someone I knew suddenly changed?
It doesn’t seem like someone I used to know, and there’s a sense of distance.
Then what I have to do is decided.
In front of Karen, you can give them the feeling of a little change.
Wouldn’t Karen get used to it if you show her that it changes slowly rather than suddenly?
“Then I will go to the drawing room.”
“All right.”
I changed clothes and headed to the drawing room where Karen was.
“See you Rudy.”
Karen greeted me.
The last time we met, he was wearing armor like a knight, but now he’s dressed like an ordinary noblewoman.
If it were me in this situation, I would have apologized as if I was sorry.
“okay.”
I answered briefly.
The expression on his face as if he wasn’t sorry at all.
have to postpone
“Rudy… … !”
As I acted like that, Karen smiled happily.
I floated one more there.
“You came without an appointment. Do you have no manners?”
If it was the original Rudy, he would blame the other person for his mistakes rather than his own.
After saying that, I looked at Karen’s expression.
oh
Karen laughed awkwardly.
There was joy on his face, but there was a subtle sense of awkwardness.
Did I say it too harshly?
“that… … mi… … .”
“Rudy.”
I quickly changed my stance and tried to apologize, but Karen stopped me.
“You can call me ‘you’ as before.”
you?
do you want to gossip?
Perhaps… … .
“Who are you, are you giving me orders?”
I spoke to Karen one more time, like an idiot.
“Sorry, I’m sorry.”
Karen apologized to me, but there was a subtle joy in her expression.
So, it wasn’t that I felt bad because I criticized myself, it was that I didn’t feel bad for not calling him ‘you’.
I don’t know what Karen is thinking, but I have to adapt to Karen first.
I had to have a good relationship with the Meyer family, and Karen had to be the bridge between them.
I looked at the maid.
“I’m hungry. Prepare your meal.”
A self-righteous appearance that does not consider customers.
Karen must have been eating.
I never cared about Karen like that.
“Uh, uh… … .”
The maid panicked and looked at Karen.
I quickly rolled my brain.
Would it be more rude to ask for a meal together here?
Or is it better to leave it alone?
“Ah, I came here to eat… … .”
While I was thinking about it, Karen smiled and answered the maid who had noticed first.
I saw the situation and made a quick decision.
“Are you saying you don’t want to eat with me?”
“yes? No, we’ll have dinner together… … .”
“Are you saying you’re going to leave me alone to eat?”
food torture.
There is nothing more painful than feeding a hungry person.
I smiled contentedly at the foolish judgment.
When I said that, Karen spoke quickly.
“Come on, let’s eat together! Please prepare this person!”
“yes… … . All right… … .”
The maid replied as if she didn’t like it.
Suddenly, I wondered why I was acting like this.
This was not my hometown, but a mansion in the capital, so the maids are the first people I see.
After coming here, he was kind to the maid, so it was a natural question in a way.
Still, I had to do this.
In order to manage my reputation, I decided that I should do better to the maids.
After a while, dinner was served in the living room.
“Then let’s eat.”
I picked up the tableware and started eating the food set in front of me.
The food of the Astrian family was of a very high standard.
It was incomparable to the meal I ate at the academy.
It was so satisfying to savor a meal that I didn’t know what it tasted like when I ate with Ian.
As I ate like that, I looked at Karen.
Karen grabbed the tableware and nibbled at the food in front of her.
As I expected, it seemed that he had already eaten.
I looked at Karen like that and opened my mouth.
“You don’t like the food?”
Karen shook her head violently.
“Oh, no! So delicious!”
“Then why don’t you eat like this?”
I said as if I didn’t know anything.
“Should I call the chef once? … ?”
As I glanced at the maid, Karen shouted loudly.
“It was so delicious that I wanted to eat it sparingly! No, it’s delicious!”
Karen grabbed the tableware and grabbed the food.
Then he started to put it in his mouth.
Her expression was not so good, as if it was painful to eat.
Seeing that, I felt a sense of guilt.
Was this too much?
Come to think of it, there was no reason to do this.
Isn’t it okay to look like an idiot just with words?
However, it was not for a fool to retract what I said here.
You should not eat food without being awkward.
I looked at Karen.
“Your food looks tastier than mine.”
A maniac covets other people’s things more than his own.
It’s not a big part, it’s a very small thing.
It was a somewhat sensible act.
What kind of noble would covet someone else’s food?
When you think you did a good job and try to smile with satisfaction.
“… … yes?”
A cold frost formed in Karen’s eyes.
Those eyes I saw last time.
A face that looks like why are you acting like that.
I was embarrassed.
I definitely thought I did the right thing.
I didn’t know there would be such a reaction.
Where did I go wrong?
I swallowed my embarrassment and thought coldly.
It was obviously a stupid act.
There seemed to be no problem with me.
Then the fact that he did this to Karen itself is a problem.
steal food
Why would I get rid of the food that was bothering me? … .
I was stunned there.
Food that was ‘painful’.
no way… … .
I turned away from Karen, who gave me cold eyes, and looked at the maid.
“Prepare double what Karen eats. I’ll take Karen’s food.”
“Double, double?”
“ah… … !”
The maid panicked, and Karen’s eyes widened.
A feeling of surprise mixed with joy.
why?
Is this right?
I looked at Karen with a puzzled expression.
“Two, two times… … You give me double… … .”
Karen muttered to herself in admiration.
It seemed he was getting more and more confused as to what Karen was thinking.
When I’m sighing like that
“Lu, Rudy-sama!”
bang! A maid hastily ran into the drawing room.
I frowned at the appearance of such a maid.
“Such rude. Can’t you see I’m eating right now?”
okay. I’d rather have this situation.
In a situation like this, a crazy person or an ordinary person can do the same thing… … .
“I… … Now cows, guests have arrived!”
“… … Guest?”
I put on a bewildered look.
Karen looked at me like that.
“Did you have any appointments today?”
It was a big deal.
In the meantime, I’m still with Karen.
In front of Karen, you have to act like a fool, and you have to be normal to other guests.
It’s impossible to act contradictory in front of two other people.
“… … Who is it?”
“That, that!”
Before she could utter a word, the maid looked to the side and was greatly surprised.
Then he looked to the side and greeted him politely.
I know what this is

My doubts were quickly answered.
I saw the person walking towards the door of the drawing room.
“Senior, I’m here.”
Yuni walked into our place.
