「What did you say!?」

In the garden to the east of the royal palace, a lovely voice is shouting high in the air, my Lord and Myra-sama, the Queen of the Kingdom of Gran.

「To my Marsha, that no-talent!!!」

Squeaking, she’s about to tear her handkerchief at any moment.

Yes, that no-talent, but don’t say that the royal princess is a no-talent. When I lightly remonstrated with her, she would pout a small「muhh,」which I found adorable and unbearable.

「Haah, my head is aching. I just don’t understand why that would be…」

And sitting next to Myra-sama, holding his eyebrows, is Myra-sama’s companion, His Majesty King Leonhard Val Gran.

The conversation was, of course, about the damage I had just suffered. I was only going to report on it later, but thanks to some other leader who spilled the beans, I had no choice but to tell the whole story. They really went the extra mile when they said they didn’t want me to be angry or annoyed like I am now.

「It’s useless to think about it, because their head is built differently from ours.」

Ryniel-sama responds to His Majesty’s words in that way, but the wrinkles between His Majesty’s eyebrows are not removed.

「Ryniel-sama is right. If you are talking about me, please don’t worry about it.」

I serve newly brewed herbal tea to His Majesty and Myra-sama. It’s a tea with peppermint, which has the effect of clearing one’s head and mood. I smiled at the delicious aroma.

「It was just that a few poisonous moths came close to me and I felt a little uncomfortable, you know?」

The big moth at the end was so disgusting that I almost had urticaria.

「…Is that what you say with a smile on your face?」

「Eh… That’s about the extent of it… no…」

That’s about it. I’m fine when they’re gone, and the only time I’m uncomfortable is when they come by.

Marie, also a lady-in-waiting to the queen, places baked goods in front of Their Majesties, just like I do. It’s a light-textured cookie with chocolate in between.

「I guess you mean moths that gather around Marsha-san. It’s nice to have them all in one place so they are easy to deal with.」

Marie said so innocently with a squeaky voice.

She has a habit of lengthening the end of her sentences, and although she appears to be a laid-back and calm girl, she has a very nice personality.

「You could switch the lights, Marie?」

「I’m sorry. That’s impossible.」

I’m sure you’re right. If I didn’t have to get involved, I wouldn’t either. They come to me, so I have no choice but to deal with them.

「But, like attracts like, right? It’s a wonder that there are many people who have a pleasant mind.」

「It’s interesting to watch, though.」

「Douglas-sama may be right, you know!」

「Aww…!!」

As we passed each other, I stomped on him with the heel of my heel as hard as I could. This level of payback should be nothing to the Knight Commander, right?

「I think you should be aware that you are in that category, Douglas.」

「…Aww… Me?」

Unable to understand what Myra-sama said to him, Douglas-sama tilts his head.

「You can’t follow up, Doug.」

No one will defend Douglas-sama, who twists his head even more because even His Majesty says so.

Well, I’m sure that the onlookers who call my and Raul’s thing a「lover’s quarrel」 are nothing short of hilarious.

「Uh, I’m sorry I made fun of you, but you would have had to report it anyway, right?」

「That said, I don’t like the way you did it, Douglas-sama.」

He turns away with a pout.

「Your report is too brief and not concise enough…」

Douglas-sama sighs. Then, with a wry smile, Ryniel-sama added a few words.

「Generally, I would say that the report is about『a friend of Her Royal Highness the Princess,』『loss of a gift,』and『rumors about alleged harassment.』」

「Anything else?」

As Ryniel-sama said, he was going to report those three points.

As for the『friend of Royal Highness the Princess,』the Countess Cierleifi Bower is a new addition to the list. As for the other two, there is no change from a year ago.

Regarding the『loss of a gift,』since it is presumed that the item is of a certain value, we advise an investigation to determine whether it’s a personal attack as before or theft for other reasons, as it may be related to scandals in the Royal Palace.

As for the『rumors of alleged harassment,』I suspect that there may be some other agenda because I found it unnatural that such childish rumors of harassment would be circulating now after 10 years.

I don’t know what I am missing above.

「Eh, what about『who gave you this gift』or『who told you the rumor,』I am curious about it.」

「Ehh?」

It would be superfluous, that’s for sure.

The details of the self-indulgent theater and the only thing it conveys is the creepiness of that thing.

「I don’t think it’s necessary to report it…」

Hmmm, I rack my brain.

「No, for me it’s necessary.」

「Myra-sama…」

She gets up from her chair and stops in front of me.

「I know what you might be thinking. I know you don’t want me to be bothered with your own affairs, but that’s a different thing..」

Myra-sama looked straight at me.

「I want to be angry for you, I want to cry, I want to laugh. You have no right to take that away from me, do you?」

The words of Myra-sama who took my hand and conveyed them to me.

「That is your beauty and your flaw. At least keep in mind that we don’t want to be bothered to get angry or cry for you.」

「Of course, you are welcome to smile.」

Since Ryniel-sama and Marie were also sympathetic, I felt uncomfortable with the indescribable itchiness and ended up turning my head down. My ears are burning and I can’t stand it.

I know.

I was so happy and embarrassed that I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed and apologetic. I didn’t know how to reciprocate this favor, but I wanted to do something, and the only words that came out of my confused mouth were

「…I’ll do my best.」

That’s all there is to it.

「Please do so.」

Still, Myra-sama smiled a big smile of satisfaction.

「But I still think Douglas-sama’s『lover quarrel』is different.」

「You, that’s just a picture of a horrible wife who takes her husband’s ass on the line! …Aww!」

I immediately stomped on him with all my weight, twisting him, of course, in the same place as before.

Who the hell are you calling a wife, you son of a bitch!!!!!

「Ew, that’s messed up.」

I don’t know what Marie’s little mutterings meant.
