Of course, it’s not just me and Amelia living in the mansion we’re building.

There were live-in servants, and a maid who had been working as a maid since Amelia’s childhood went to work in the morning and left late in the evening.

There are also private soldiers dispatched from the Grand Duke who guard the front of the mansion.

Just because I’m Amelia’s escort doesn’t mean I’m the only escort or by myself.

And of course, this important issue was not something that could be resolved by just me and Amelia.

I had an older brother, but he wasn’t the one who was going to stay here.

As a result, something resembling a meeting was held about what to do with this female ninja who had been following me.

People stood around the woman, who was sitting on the sofa in the guest room with her hands and feet tied.

There was a chauffeur in charge of the guard of this mansion, a maid who was in charge of managing this mansion, me, Amelia, and Brother Harvey. There were soldiers standing in front of the door and window leaving the room.

Among them, there is no one who can be called a sword master. All of the soldiers boasted excellent skills, and the same goes for the knight, who is the leader of the soldiers, but the sword master is not meant to be hit by the side of the road in the first place.

Usually, a person who becomes a sword master is placed next to the most important person. In the novel, Brother Harvey was like that.

Although he cannot use Aurors, he is someone who can fight and win against the Sword Master. The proof is sitting in front of us right now.

“… … We’re sorry we didn’t notice. We should have found and responded before the customer took action… … .”

“No, of course you can. The opponent is a sword master. There are very few people who would send a sword master to get some information in the first place.”

Amelia clearly accepted the driver’s words.

“Then, shall we decide how to treat this person?”

Amelia said, looking at the female ninja with her arms crossed.

“Now that I think about it, I haven’t even heard your name yet. What’s your name?”

“… … Please call me Becky.”

“I don’t know if that name is real or not, but as long as I don’t escape, it’s probably not that important.”

Amelia nodded and said.

“You said there was little information that could have been passed over there, right?”

“… … Yes, I’m sorry to Lady Delkisi, but in fact, I couldn’t understand why the crown prince cherished her so much. ”

“So what did you report?”

“They reported that overcoming difficult situations together in the past may have remained as memories.”

It’s worth it.

I also don’t know why the crown prince follows me around like that.

They say they met when they were children, but it was an incredibly old story, and they only met once again after that.

Judging by his age, he was old enough to be called a childhood friend, but I think the memories are too shallow to say he was a childhood ‘friend’.

“Well, it’s good. I’m glad I didn’t give you very important information.”

Amelia’s expression when she said that was truly relieved.

There would not have been any information that the imperial nobles wanted. In fact, if you are moving on the assumption that ‘the crown prince likes me’, there is no need to come into the mansion. All you have to do is observe carefully every time the crown prince and I meet.

If he had been hiding in our room to get more information—and I would have found out eventually—he would have overheard our entire private conversation, and we would have been in a lot of trouble.

Of course, that wouldn’t be enough to say that we ‘come from another world’, but it would have been said to be crazy.

It would be very troubling if there were rumors going around that the Grand Duchess and her guard were mentally unstable. I thought it would be better for Amelia to get married later, but I had no intention of making her marry a flawed and insignificant person.

Or, it might not be a bad idea to let Liadelle and Amelia get married.

If two people run away from love, I can follow them as a helper and stay by their side for the rest of their lives.

… … If I do that, I’ll feel a lot of pain inside.

“In that case, your personal circumstances are—”

smart.

As Amelia was about to talk, someone knocked on the door.

The maid, who had been quietly listening to the story at a distance from us until then, opened the door slightly.

After a brief conversation, the maid came with a letter in her hand.

“This is a letter from Amelia.”

“To me?”

Amelia accepted the letter from the maid.

The stiff paper rolled up like a scroll and was sealed with beeswax.

The wax was engraved with the royal seal, a two-headed eagle.

“… … .”

Amelia opened the seal and read the letter with a puzzled expression.

The puzzled expression slowly changed to one of understanding, and soon it became an expression of suppressing laughter.

After reading the letter, Amelia looked at Becky and said with a slight smile.

“Who do you think sent this letter?”

“… … The wax has the royal family’s seal on it, so could it have been sent from the royal family?”

Becky’s face was filled with tension as she saw Amelia reading the letter from the royal family and talking to her.

“Prince Geon… … No, it’s a letter from the next crown prince.”

Amelia said, holding the letter in her fingers and shaking it.

“We call him the crown prince, but in reality, he has not fully ascended to that position yet. So, he is also the prince of the country. In fact, ascending to the position of crown prince does not cancel his status as a prince. .”

The thing about a title is that having something else does not mean that what was there before disappears.

Obtaining the title of earl does not overshadow the title of baron that you previously held, but instead, you become an earl and a baron with both an earldom and a barony. However, the title that comes to the fore is almost always the highest title you have.

Therefore, if the Crown Prince becomes Emperor, he becomes ‘Emperor and Prince’.

While in the country, Crown Prince Evan is also Prince Evan. If you wish, you can use that title. Of course, if you use it carelessly, you will be criticized in many ways by the nobles in the kingdom.

“And here it is written like this.”

Amelia elegantly held the letter again in both hands and summarized its contents.

“If there is someone who has posed a threat to my close friend, I would like to take over that new soldier from our side.”

“… … .”

Becky’s face turned pale.

“It looks like the crown prince is very displeased with the nobles of the empire digging into Elsie’s life. It looks like he wants to hear directly the reason for digging into Elsie’s life. What should he do?”

“… … .”

Becky’s mouth opened and closed several times.

“Let me give you a choice.”

Amelia said with a slight smile on her lips.

“The headquarters of the Information Guild is in the forest, right? I don’t know the exact location, but I know it’s there.”

Becky’s face almost turned blue. Won’t she die like that?

“Large wolves must have started wandering around the forest recently. Has anyone been chased after going out wearing black clothes?”

“… … .”

“That wolf was released by us. As you will know if you look up the information, it is thanks to Elsie’s great ability. If necessary, we can increase the types of animals. Small birds, mice and squirrels that are difficult to find with the eyes. How about hearing it?”

uh… … I’ve never even thought of it like that.

Well, I’m a druid, so if I could infinitely increase the variety of animals in the forest… … One day, we will be able to securely capture the headquarters of the Intelligence Guild.

“Actually, we were looking for your home base too. There is some information we would like to know.”

Amelia’s eyes narrowed, and the smile on her lips deepened.

hmm… … I feel a bit sorry to say this to Amelia, who was truly happy, but that expression looked like a villain in many ways.

“If you come under our wing, I am willing to protect the new soldier without handing him over to the Crown Prince. How do you feel about it?”

Amelia said, looking at Becky quietly with that expression on her face.

“I don’t think there will be a big problem if we have one more maid.”

“… … .”

Becky looked at Amelia’s face in horror and nodded eagerly.

“Well, then, I will do it. I will.”

“That’s right. Don’t think about running away. This place is a bit far from the Great Duke of Gratton Mount, so the influence isn’t completely there… … Let’s not make it 100% effective, even if it is a small amount of influence.”

Amelia said and handed the letter back to the maid.

… … It’s also scary.
