"Good work, miss. Looks like you're late for school today. What happened at the academy?

Exit the front entrance of the academy and stop at the carriage for a while.

I was greeted by a beautifully appointed servant in front of my carriage.

I am Lucian, the head of my Servant.

Slightly elongated length. A straight face. A modest yet elegant look.

If the first impression is expressed in one word, it is the "capable butler" itself.

He is not currently in the position of a butler, but is still a young and talented young man, 22 years old, who may slowly become a butler of the Duke.

"... things have gotten a lot worse. I'll tell you more in the carriage."

He takes Lucian's hand and leads it into a box-shaped carriage.

In my interaction with The Lady and servants, if I was in my previous life, I would say, "Real Lady! Eyeblessing! It could have been a situation that raised tension.

Turning his back on a soft chair, Lucian sits on the chair opposite him.

The angel whips me and the wheel moves slowly.

I decided to organize my brain a little bit and tell you what happened today.

"Lord Fritz has forfeited my engagement."

Yes?

Lucian's blue eyes opened in surprise, and he was swallowed by a sword.

"What do you mean? I can't believe you're breaking up my engagement....."

"Unfortunately, I'm not lying. At the entrance of the academy, in the crowd circle, I was told that I had broken my engagement and was banished from the country."

As I explained, Lucian's eyes became sharper and sharper.

"... that stupid prince. It's worthy of death to humiliate your daughter."

Lucien was relentlessly scolding Fritz, the prince of the king.

That asshole, Bonbon.

Lucien, who was so malicious, was quite ill-mouthed.

... but I couldn't really tell people about Fritz because I was calling him Prince Wang.

............ well, let's just leave the situation in my heart.

He always behaves like a perfect butler, a well-behaved Lucian like an upper-class, but born a downtown civilian.

Sometimes in front of me, who has been serving for many years, the tone reminded me of the Shimomachi period.

"I thought that stupid prince might get soft someday... Does your daughter intend to accept unreasonable demands such as deportation?

"I'm leaving the country clean. There is no way to deepen the conflict between my duke and the royal family and break the country."

Thou shalt sacrifice thyself for thy nobility, for thy people, and for thy country.

That was one of the few words I got from your father.

The level of civilization in this world should be as modern as the medieval world says.

Differences in status exist strictly, especially in Japan, where there is a large difference in status between civilians and nobles.

Many nobles behave tyrannically, not to mention civilians.

In the meantime, your father was my admirer, inspiring me to work with pride as a nobleman.

... but it's also true that as a daughter, I don't remember being loved very much.

Now that I remember the memories of the previous life that my parents loved me, I had a few thoughts, but I decided to leave them now.

"... the destination of the expulsion has not yet been determined, but it is possible that they will be flown to the Empire or a country of no consequence. If that happens, Lucian, you stay away from me in this country..."

"Even at the end of the earth, I will follow your daughter."

I was assured.

"It was Miss Leticia who found me in the orphanage after my parents died."

"Lucian....."

Seven years ago, when I was ten.

My father told me to pick a few of my own servants, and I was worried about the choice.

At that time, I met Lucian, who was 15 years old, at an orphanage that I visited as part of a charity.

Lucien had apparently learned to read and write and helped run an orphanage, even though he had no decent education.

Impressed by his excellence, I strongly recommended Lucian to your father as a servant with me.

His father was reluctant at first, but first he approved Lucian's appointment with a one-year deadline.

As a result, Lucian has perfected her manners and ability as a servant in a year, and her father has recognized her.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Generally speaking, if you are the Duke's daughter, you should not try to keep people from downtown near you.

It was a while ago that I recovered the memory of my previous life, but more or less the experience and values of my previous life may have influenced me in this world.

"Lucian, thank you. But you don't have to feel so grateful for me. I put you next to me because of my intention to have a good servant."

"I know. The circumstances of the young lady............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... I know it well."

Lucian puts his hand on his chest and salutes.

I felt heartfelt respect, joy, a little shame, and warmth.

... today was a scattered day, I guess.

I was told to abandon my engagement, thrown into a fountain, scolded by my ex-fiancé, and amazed by a muscular boy....

It was a series of events that left me exposed to hostility and hatred, and I could not rest my mind.

In the meantime, I felt relieved by Lucian's dedication.

"I must have been very lucky to get a loyalist like you....."

"It's a waste of time for me, thank you."

Lucian smiled with the right respect, but not just the love.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Duke's residence approached in the eastern district of King's Landing.

"Don't be so discouraged, young lady. Whatever happens, I'm on your side."

Lucian made me feel like sinking.

I don't suppose it's on his face, but it may have been passed on to him after years of relationship.

"It would be hard to tell your father, the Duke, to break his engagement... I'm sure the Duke would never blame her unreasonably."

"... yeah, I'm sure it is."

With a soft and vague smile, Lucian turned away.

It is true that I feel heavy when I think I have to tell my father about the breakdown of my engagement and the deportation.

... but the most imminent melancholy right now is something else.

Some people may have a lot of trouble, but there's one thing I'm afraid of when the memories of my previous life come back.

As we exit the carriage, the sun begins to tilt.

----------It was almost dinner time.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

I changed into a home dress in my room at the Duke's Mansion and took a while.

The door was knocked and the maid came to tell her that dinner was ready.

As usual, in the name of the Duchess, with no shame and elegance.

But in fact, the inner feeling was full of sadness, and the maid led me to the cafeteria.

... the BGM that flows into the brain is Donadona.

The Duke's Mansion is vast.

When Donadona's lyrics were in the middle of the second line, they reached the cafeteria.

Ten gentlemen sat down on a chair pulled by a maid at a table where they could sit.

When I lowered my hips a little, the back entrance to the service was opened.

"Nh......!

A strong smell that irritates the nasal cavity.

The smell that still reaches even now is the spice that has been used for cooking.

... I can't look at him anyway. Thank you.

I try to escape reality, and I start screaming in my brain, but while I'm doing that, I get a plate of cooking.

The way this country serves is by arranging everything from main dishes to soup on the table at once.

Having lost my escape to the intense smell of rising, I put my hands on a fearful fork.

First, appetizers.

It was a salad of leafy vegetables harvested near King's Landing...

The problem is the source of the glowing light on the vegetables.

The rough surface resembles the brown sauce of the previous life, but only the appearance.

Including a bite, the difference is obvious.

It tastes very intense, as I can only say it's too spicy, too sour and too chicken.

The flavor of the sauce was too strong, and the deliciousness of the fresh vegetables could not be felt at all.

Honestly, I didn't find it tasty at all, but I drink it with a cool face.

This is the moment when the facial control skills developed as Duchess Lady and as a company animal are maximized.

Unfortunately, the same sauce as the salad is also served on the main dish, meat dishes.

Of course, there is a difference between vegetables and meat, so the sauce mix is different...

Either way, the spice was too effective, and it was the same that I didn't understand the taste of the material.

I was no longer eating seasoned meat, it was just a lump of spices that felt like meat.

The meat of the material is probably a five-grade luxury product in Japan.

Unfortunately, it was an extremely expensive dish, even though its virtues were not being utilized at all.

... no, it's not so bad that you can't eat it.

The meat, vegetables and perhaps spices used only climb to the Duke's table and are definitely first-class ingredients available in the country.

Nevertheless, it's not delicious.

Even so, it was a wasteful dish that ruined the spices that were wrapped and kneaded.

I like spices.

The pepper fried vegetables I used to make in my previous life is my favorite.

... but I think the food in front of me is just too much...

I've never felt the adage that it's too late, but it's too late.

The reason why so many spices have been used in the dishes in front of you.

The cause of the book is the new sea route with the southern continent, which was discovered about forty years ago.

It seems that the people were overwhelmed by a new kind of spice that was put on the ship and brought to the continent.

The food situation in this world was not as good as in previous generations, and many vegetables were not improved.

They brought in large quantities of flavorful and preservative-enhancing spices.

People became obsessed with spices, and the royal nobles began to collect spices.

A dish that used a lot of spices became a kind of status and part of the competition to show wealth... overheated.

The result is dishes lined up on the table that seem to have completely ignored the taste of the ingredients.

Of course, in homes that are poor, even for civilians and aristocrats, this should not be an intensely flavoured dish.

But my family is the Duke.

Most of the dishes served at the table are spiced.

It was a tough situation now that the memory of the previous life, when my hobby was cooking and eating walks, was revived.

... by the way, the taste of humans in this world shouldn't be any different from Earth.

Once upon a time, the dishes in Shimomachi that I ate with a little encouragement were simple but delicious.

Moreover, the wines served at the noble dinner today are dominated by refreshing flavors.

In addition to wine, it is often accompanied by water that is only seasoned with lemon.

... I thought it was just to relieve a dish that tasted too intense.

However, it is the nobility who wants to cook this spicy dish.

And I guess that's because cooking technology was underdeveloped in the first place and the technology to bring out the flavor of the ingredients was not widespread.

Spices are delicious.

If you use a lot of that spice, the dish will definitely taste better.

............ Based on that idea, I think that the spices used for cooking are gradually increasing, paralyzing the delicate sensation, leading to the present state.

The current state of spice coating is not only a trend in Japan, but the difference in degree can be seen in the Western continent as a whole.

In many countries, noble tables have excessive spices, with few exceptions.

A valuable exception to this is the neighbor's Liorbern kingdom.

Because it had vast agricultural land and had a great attachment to homegrown food, it seemed that noble tables there were not spice coated.

Liorbern was in turmoil about two years ago, and the new Crown Prince has changed, but the new Crown Prince seems to be very good.

Much of the recent reputation for that country has been good, such as improved domestic security.

The spices are modest, the Prince Wang is excellent, and the domestic situation is improving.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

... I wish Liorbern and a delicious country for rice would be good if you were banished anyway.

I chewed the spice-coated dish with no expression, but unexpectedly and seriously wished for it.
