Early in the morning, Sophia hurried to Dyce's room.
"Master Dyce, Master Dyce, please get up."
Days was dreaming, and after opening his eyes slightly and seeing Sophia's face, he created a fictitious image of Sophia in the dream and began to dream the next one.
"Master Dyce, Miss Dandy Lil, they're here, get up quickly."
Hey? Dandy Lil? They?
Immediately, the image of Miss Impus appeared in the dream, which was sometimes a little cute, but most of the time terrifying. It happened that in the dream, Days and Sophia were swinging, and she used her wand to freeze the rope of the swing, and suddenly the rope of the swing broke, and Days and Sophia flew out.
"Ahh Days screamed and sat up straight from the bed. Seeing that Sophia was at the bedside, he pulled Sophia over to check on her, muttering, "No injury, no injury." β
"What's wrong, Master Dyce?" Sophia let Days check and check, "My clothes should be in good shape." β
Days suddenly woke up, and found that it was a dream just now, and now it is in reality, and after understanding the situation, Dayston felt so embarrassed: "Ah, good morning, today's clothes also fit very well, even if Inps's classmates come, she will not find fault with her." β
"Of course, Melina and I will check each other after we get dressed. You must not lose the face of Master Dyce. β
Fortunately, Sophia did not suspect it, and this embarrassing matter passed like this. Let Sophia help get dressed and then freshen up, Days will go downstairs first, and Sophia will go next door to serve Miss Anna to get up. Melina, who was in the kitchen, prepared black tea for the guests in the living room and breakfast for Dyce.
"Good morning, Dandiliel and Imps."
"Good morning, Mr. Dyce." "Good morning, Mr. Dyce."
"When we heard that Dyce came back safely, we were relieved to come and see you."
Miss Dandy Liel was as courteous as ever.
"Ah, thanks, I'm all right."
"What's going on with the beast tide?" Miss Impurs frowned a little.
"This ...... Ask me, I don't know. β
"Hmph."
Why are you upset again? Dyce was a little strange and continued to eat breakfast.
"Brother." Miss Anna came down.
"Ah, it's Miss Anna, it's really Miss Anna." Miss Dandiliel looked very happy.
"Gui'an." Miss Anna came down the stairs and greeted the two older sisters.
When "......" saw Miss Anna, Miss Impus's unhappiness seemed to ease considerably, and she began to look at Miss Anna.
The staple food of the people of the Odin Empire is whole wheat bread, so after Days arrived here, he has been eating whole wheat bread for many days.
"Why whole wheat." Days muttered indistinctly.
"Huh?" Miss Dandy Liel said she didn't hear clearly.
Days swallowed the bread with vegetable soup: "Why whole wheat bread......"
"Of course, it's either whole wheat or it's unhealthy!" Miss Impus hastened to answer.
"But...... It would be nice if it was fine flour......"
"It's healthy." Miss Imps explained, "You may not get used to it, but it's definitely a healthy food, and it's because of this that Odin's warriors are so strong. β
It seems to make sense...... In short, I love the food of my country.
How did my sister eat, Days looked at Miss Anna. Although Miss Anna had only just arrived, Miss Anna did not complain at all, except that she tore the bread into very small slices, threw them into the vegetable soup, and ate them with a small spoon. It's so smart!
Days also hurried to follow suit. Although whole wheat bread has a rye aroma, this toughness is really a bit unaccustomed to Dyce, who is used to eating refined flour bread from the south.
After breakfast, Miss Dandilier and their black tea were almost finished.
"I heard you hit your prey?" Miss Dandy Lill put down her teacup.
Days wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, then untied it and placed it next to the plate: "Ah, yes, a little doe, in fact, it was just an arrow that hit the hip, and it ran slower, so it was caught." β
"Ah, what an amazing experience. Can you show us around? β
ββ¦β¦ Of course, willing to serve, just behind the small courtyard. β
It was a little strange that Miss Impus did not come with her.
The doe is trying to get along with the little stag that she bought yesterday morning. The scars on its body are completely scabbed, and apart from a slight lameness, there is no problem at all.
"It looks very energetic."
"Ah, I just bought this one yesterday, so I can be her companion."
"'She'?" Dandiliel chuckled, "Dess, you're so gentle. β
"Ah, I'm sorry, it's 'it', I'm not a poet, so what's the matter with feelings." Days laughed at himself a little embarrassedly.
"And who is this going to give it to? You can't take them back to DiCasna. β
"Well, I originally planned to buy a stag for Impus, because Impus said that he wanted the buck's deerskin to make boots, but he didn't buy a suitable one, so I gave both of them to Princess Birodis. For even if I had shot the doe, I would have lost it without the help of Allen, the knight of Her Royal Highness Princess Birodis. And I'm ashamed that Miss Impus was a majestic stag that I didn't hit. β
"I can't blame you, it's her who has a problem. But girls always like to be coquettish. Hawkers, anyway, it wasn't sent on the day of the hunt, so it doesn't matter. β
"Huh?" Why do people around me talk about this a lot lately?
"Because it's not the prey of the hunt, I won't count it."
"What is counting, and what is not counting?"
"That's a marriage proposal."
"What's that!?"
Days didn't believe it at all, Sophia had mentioned it before, but he didn't care at all.
"Kidding, Dyce-san is not from the Odin Empire."
"Uh-huh." There's no concept at all.,It's just that it's a cute girl.,Make a request to yourself.,I can't refuse.γ
"But in Odin, you have to do things according to Odin's rules."
"Huh?!"
"For example, on the day of the hunt, if you really took this doe and gave it to Her Royal Highness Princess Birodis, and Her Royal Highness accepted it happily, then the whole empire will think that you are the next Prince of the Odin Empire."
"Huh?!"
"If the people of the entire Odin Empire think so, that's the truth, and if you say you don't know, then it's not okay."
Days felt like he must have multiple droplets of sweat on his forehead.
"However, since it wasn't a gift on the day of the hunt, it wouldn't make sense. So I suggest that you kill and eat both deer. β
"How can this be...... So cute guy......"
"Oh, oh, yes, Dess is so gentle, no wonder my sister Impus and my sister Princess Birodis like you."
"What, what, what! Dandillil, don't make fun of me. Even if I give this doe to Princess Gallodisus on the day of the hunt, Her Royal Highness will not accept it, she, she, she! Why, I, I'm just a foreigner, a little nobleman who doesn't know anything, not hereditary......"
"Because of you," Miss Dandiliel leaned into Dyce's ear, "there is something that no one else has, and you will understand later." β
Days followed Miss Dandillill back to the hall of the drawing-room-dining-room in a bit of a trance, not noticing that Miss Dandillier was shaking her head at Miss Imps. Just as the Udton sisters were about to leave, Days suddenly remembered:
"Ah, wait a minute, I have something for you."
After Sophia and Days confirmed, they took the deerskin they bought yesterday to Dayce. The deerskin went to the gift shop and repacked it, so I couldn't tell what it was.
"It's an apology," Dyce was a little embarrassed, "I'm so sorry." β
"W- Is this what you gave me?" Miss Impus's face flushed slightly, "IβCan I open it now?" β
"Well, let's open it when we get back."
"Okay. Well, goodbye, I'm in a hurry to go back and see what's inside. β
Miss Impus trotted away with the presents, and Days watched as the two men got into the carriage and left before returning to the room. Miss Imps's appearance as a little girl makes Days feel so fresh.
"It turns out that she still has such a side."
Days smiled, recalling the scene just now.
When I walked to the door, I saw that there was another flower on the table.
"Well, Ellen," Deis asked, Melina's body stiffened slightly at the name of Ellen, "Did you come again in the morning?" β
"Well, yes, he sent another flower."
"It's not two today." Sophia quipped.
"After all, it's just a retinue knight with a meager income, and the territory is only a small village, and there are only five families in the village. When the harvest is bad, they are embarrassed to collect rent. β
"I didn't expect to be a kind person. However, if you go to collect rent when the harvest is bad, the five families may move away. β
"That's right, he seems to be a pretty smart man."
"So, Sister Melina, be careful."
"I hate it, be careful of what, it's not that kind of relationship."
