Knock, knock

I was alone in the room with Hanna when I heard a knock at the door.

“Hannah.”

“Sir, yes.”

Hanna opens the door to reveal Emi.

“Your Highness Dietrich… hm? You are not by yourself.”

“Well, Hanna is my most important chamberlain. You don’t have to be concerned about her being with me, and she is very discreet. So I’m confident that everything will be fine.”

“I understand. Then I’ll take you to the party…”

Emi asks with a quizzical look on her face, but when she sees that I’m not going to give in and that I’ve explained Hanna to her, she decides she has no choice but to let her accompany me.

Hmm?

“… Hanna, what’s the matter?” …

“… Nothing. But even if your highness is in danger because of many women, Hanna will protect you.”

“I-Is that so…”

Hearing Hanna’s unusual enthusiasm, I tilted my head, but I stopped asking further questions, convinced that pursuing the matter would lead nowhere.

“Please come in.”

We are led to the top floor of the mansion, where Emi urges us to enter.

Hanna and I walked through the door together… What?!

“Ya, I’ve been waiting for you!”

“T-This is…”

The room was filled with white smoke, and we were greeted by Viscount Reinke, who was wearing a robe over his naked body.

However, Viscount Reinke had an ecstatic expression, with his eyes unfocused.

This smoke… It appears to be one of those… things.

“Oh… Your Highness, why do you have a lady-in-waiting with you instead of just yourself?”

Viscount Reinke inquires, his licking gaze fixed on Hannah.

“…Of course, Hanna is my precious lady-in-waiting…”

“Oh, Oh! Yes, I see. I see what you’re saying!”

He clapped his hands as if he knew what was going on.

“All right, then, let’s have some fun together!”

At these words, Viscount Reinke pulls me by the arm.

There were several naked men and women behind the smoke, and before I knew it, Emi had begun to undress.

“…Hanna.”

“All right.”

With these words as a cue, Hanna rushes into the back of the room, taking the consciousness of the men and women one by one.

“W-what the…?!”

“Shut your mouth.”

I also pressed my thumb and forefinger into Viscount Reinke’s neck, which made him lose consciousness and fall to his knees.

“Well… I guess that’s it.”

Hanna had already taken care of Emi’s consciousness by the time I turned around.

“Really… Why did he think I would be interested in this… banned substance in the kingdom…”

I shook my head and muttered to myself.

“…Your Highness, please order that girl’s re-education…”

(She’s talking about Yennie.)

…which is precisely what I’m about to say.

“Okay. Don’t pass up this opportunity.”

“Thank you very much. I’ll make certain that it doesn’t happen again.”

With Hanna bowing reverently, I returned to the room where Liz was waiting.

—○█○—

“Dee-sama!”

“Liz… I apologize for being late…”

Liz gave me a big smile as soon as I walked into her room.

Umu… I’ll definitely paint this smile and make it a national treasure.

“No! I’m rather relieved that you returned so quickly…”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

I dashed to Liz’s side and hugged her tightly.

Liz’s warmth is something I adore…

“Fufu… Dee-sama, please enjoy yourself.”

“Obviously, I’ve never craved your warmth more than I do today.”

“…What happened?”

Liz must have picked up on something from my words and gestures.

She asks, changing her happy expression to a raised eyebrow.

“Well… Viscount Reinke appears to have intended to give me drugs and women that are forbidden in the kingdom… So, with Hanna’s help, I rendered them all unconscious and left them there.”

Liz received my response with the expression of someone chewing a bitter bug.

As for Hanna, she is not here because she has already taken Yennie out of this room.

Yennie will experience the unthinkable… But just this once, I’ll let it go…

“… What did they do to my Dee-sama!”

“Don’t worry, neither Hanna nor I inhaled any smoke, and we quickly brought it under control—most importantly, I obtained some drugs to use as evidence—we’ll destroy the drug trafficking ring tomorrow, and in the meantime, Yennie will search and seize the drug trafficking accounts, and then everything will be done.”

As Liz’s eyes rise with rage, I gently hug her and whisper an admonition to her.

because I don’t want to irritate her with such a trivial matter.

“I’d rather feel Liz’s warmth than anything else. So… Do you mind if I stay like this for a little longer…?”

“Certainly! Please give me the impression that you have returned safely…”

Liz and I were hugging in the moonlight streaming through the window.
