Today, Eugene also came to the castle from his usual residence to attend a banquet held by His Majesty. The courtyard of the royal castle, which I visited for the first time in a while, is vast but has a carefully calculated arrangement and is beautiful all year round, but this season is even brighter and I love it.

I, Eugene, and Sidrill are still the places I played when I was a kid. Anyway, it’s big and there are many places to hide. It was a safe and perfect place for children to explore. As I walk down the corridor overlooking the courtyard, I naturally look at the garden. When I was about to stop, the Lord, who stopped at the same time, asked me, “Sometimes I walk in the courtyard.”

“Walking in the courtyard reminds me of the first time I met Eugene. My dad made a mistake on the day he met Sidrill …”

“That’s right.”

I was brought to the castle as a playmate for His Royal Highness Prince Sidrill. However, when my dad made a mistake in the date and was advised to at least look at the courtyard and go home, there was Eugene. He was smaller than me, but it doesn’t seem like it. I was fascinated by a boy with a neat face reading a difficult book in the eastern courtyard. Black ash hair, which is rare in this country. I could understand who he was because I could see the escorts around him, but I was still interested in him.

I just wanted to say hello, but when he saw me jumping up surprised by the sudden appearance of a squirrel, the young Lord laughed at me.

(I wonder if it was so interesting …)

Maybe he thinks it’s easy, but he laughs at me, but Eugene doesn’t usually show his emotions. Now, I think it’s no wonder that the people around him thought it was a miracle that he laughed at that time. Stuttering, but trying hard to say hello, it became the story of the book he was holding. I was playing when I realized it.

Approaching near the fountain. I used to play hide-and-seek around here. Eugene pulled my hand, which was slow and I was in trouble at the escape place. We also hid behind the fountain. Recalling the tension at that time, Eugene looked back at me when my shoulders were stressed.

“Tito. If you were free to choose, is there any hope you would like to be tied to?”

“Yes? No, is it my matchmaking story again?”

When asked about my matchmaking with such a serious face, I’m just in trouble. “No …” Eugene said for a moment, but more than ever he looked at me with a scary and serious look.

“What do you think if I apply for an engagement?”

Oh, that was the story. The point came immediately in my head. Engagement story with a neighboring princess who is very beautiful. I’ve heard rumors that if Rance isn’t enthusiastic, Eugene will probably be the partner. If he wishes, it should be certain now.

As a chamberlain, you have to look happy. I tried my best and smiled, and managed to say, “That’s great.”

Anyway, it’s strange from a while ago. Why can’t we be obediently pleased with each important celebration of my one and only Lord? Even though I knew in my head that I was disqualified as a chamberlain, I was confused by the painful feeling of something cold in my heart. When I unconsciously clenched the knot of my cloak, I saw the Lord’s expression stiffer than usual.

“… Tito. Please tell me your honest feelings.”

Why do you need my feelings when talking about Eugene’s engagement offer? Until such a time… No, I’m always a servant of this person, and his best friend. Although I was upset by thinking about such a thing even for a moment, I was able to answer with a smile, “Of course, I am happy!” Will Eugene’s smile, which is directed only at the person who is willing to accept it, be only for the beautiful princess of the neighboring country? If so, a little … no, I’m pretty lonely. It is now difficult to look straight back at His Highness, who was relieved to say, “Yes …”, and when he turned his eyes to the fountain, someone called the Lord “His Highness Eugene.”

“Chamberlain of Japan”

My boss, a chamberlain with Eugene. The chamberlain, who walks quietly in the corridor, politely bows to Eugene.

“His Highness, I brought in a new chamberlain candidate. If I decided, I was thinking of greeting His Majesty as it is. It was just right, should I meet Tito?”

“That’s right”

A new chamberlain candidate. I didn’t know that such a story was coming out.

“Um … will you increase Eugene’s chamberlains?”

“They are the substitutes for Tito. Your Highness, are you sure you’re done?”

The chamberlain answered with a smile, and Eugene nodded to the words. I haven’t heard about such a story, but it seems that it has already been decided between Eugene and the chamberlain. At the very least, if I could work for Eugene as a chamberlain for the rest of my life. I thought so, my wish shattered without any qualms.

“Those who are lined up there are candidates. The family and personality have also been examined.”

Several men are standing side by side in the direction pointed by the chamberlain. You can see that all the men have the elegance to understand the goodness of their family, they are tall and their bodies are well trained. I won’t hear their voices, but the distance is such that I can somehow understand their faces and mood. Tomorrow, I may be far away from where they stand.

As Eugene and the Chamberlain of Japan were discussing seriously, I felt that one of them had made a strange move and I squinted to look closely. The movement gradually increases, and even screaming things can be heard.

“……That is!”

In the lush courtyard, you can get a glimpse of the animals. However, there are times when uninvited guests appear. One of them is Guivre. A phantom beast with wings resembling a dragon on a large snake appeared in front of a line of chamberlain candidates. There was a thick scream, but the swords and other items should have been taken up by the candidate for the chamberlain. When I checked the escort sword that was only allowed for the chamberlains, I confirmed the position of Eugene and then rushed to the chamberlain candidates. The Guivre, which rarely appears around here, cannot fly freely because it has only decorative dragon wings. It is not much different from the snakes in that area, but it has poison like the snakes in that area.

The Guivre stopped moving when he saw me. That’s right, I have Aotori’s blood. It’s good food for them. The Guivre, who turned to me, started to move away from them.

“Now! Please run away soon.”

I saw Eugene calling my name and trying to run up. When I shouted with my best voice to stay away, the chamberlains hurriedly protected Eugene-sama. The Guivre is big and poisonous. Even if you have an escort sword, you have no choice but to guide it well and take a chance to kill it. My legs are slow, but my body is light, so I can quickly go up to high places. As I started to move, the Guivre also started to follow. Escape to a nearby hill at the right time to jump. I thought everyone was far away, but I noticed a man approaching the Guivre with a big stone. I was screaming.

“It’s dangerous!”

Guivre is agile. When he throws a stone, I can see a scene where it would use its small wings to jump. There is no one who can be hurt here. Especially if it is the son of one of the aristocrats, a good family. When I jumped between the Guivre and the man, of course, the Guivre bit my leg. If you catch the phantom beast’s head with that momentum, it will hold the head firmly and cause a fatal injury. I’m sorry, but if I let it go halfway, I might come back to this courtyard again. I wanted to rule out the possibility of harming my Lord.

“Tito !!”

“It’s okay, Eugene”

Eugene rushed to me first, who had been caught on the spot. I’m relieved to be called out, even though there may still be danger. But if you’re relieved here … it’s really useless.

“Don’t touch me. By any chance, poison shouldn’t get into Eugene-sama’s body …”

“Do you care! Grab me soon !!”

Even though I said so, I was grabbed, his powerful arms quickly lifted me up. Before I resisted it, my consciousness became more and more cloudy.
