The Duke's Daughter Is the Knight Captain's Young Wife

Have lunch with me.

"Non would have said something cold the other day. I was also reflecting on Carol's... anger.

Oh, was that it?

But those words are also because of what I said that was weird. There will be no choice but to anger Master Wilhelm.

I also reflected on that matter. That's why I'm here to change my mind.

"It's okay, Master Wilhelm. Carol is not angry."

"Oh well... sorry"

"No, I'm sorry that I was the one who ran out on you. After that, my mother scolded me, too. I was scolded to behave cautiously like I was about to die on my shield..."

"Right..."

I've been reflecting since then, too. I thought I had to make a good decision about what to say and what to do wrong and put it in my tease.

You can't be a good woman forever if you run your words through emotions.

"Well... one thing, I'd like to ask you"

"Yes?"

"Why did you take the Knights' entrance exam?

Maybe they'll ask, I thought.

Captain Anastasia said you can't judge for yourself. It would be natural for Mr. Wilhelm, the Knights Commander, to have spoken through.

And I'm sure you'd ask me that sincerity.

Until yesterday, before I spoke to Lilia, I may have been able to answer with confidence.

I'm a coreless person, aren't I? My heart will be blown everywhere.

I'm kind of losing sight of what I'm going to do.

"... I don't know"

"What?"

"I don't know what I've been up to lately. Even if you do what you think is best for you, it seems odd from what others see. It's just... I wanted to join the Knights for real."

"Why? Carol would be a noble lady. You don't have to join the Knights."

"I myself wanted to train both my mind and my body. And I wanted to be a good woman. I thought if I could be a good woman, I'd be Mr. Wilhelm's wife."

"Ugh..."

"And I thought a good woman was a fine person. On that occasion, I remembered a tour of the Knights with Master Wilhelm. I admired the strong life of the knight."

"Hmm..."

To my words, Master Wilhelm will put his arms together.

I closed my eyes like I was thinking about something, and I was sighed out a lot.

"So... you want to protect this country, you want to fight on behalf of a weak people, you don't have those aspirations"

"Yes. A friend of mine also complained. The knights have a strong desire to defend their country. Such knights belong to the Knights only to train their own minds and bodies, rudely enough."

"Well... from what I've heard, Carol has to fail."

"... sorry"

I was half ready, but my entrance exam fell.

But if Master Wilhelm thought about me and made that decision, you should take that spoiled.

"It's Carol."

"Yes."

"I'm sorry... The other day, Noh made a far-fetched statement too. It would be caused by the fact that he said far away that he was not a person who could save his family."

"No, such..."

"But Carol, I'm glad you admire Non. But... think again about whether it's really good."

"Wow, I..."

"Think. Give me an answer now, I'm not saying. But you can't run like an emotion. Think again."

Master Wilhelm's voice is serious in itself.

My mind is determined, but I'm probably told to look away at this emotion and think about it.

But - I'm sure, I won't stop.

"... ok. Tonight, I'll think about it overnight."

"Um. I'm sorry, I told you a strange story. Shall we eat?"

"Yes."

With Master Wilhelm, we will have lunch with you.

Today's lunch is delicious, too. That's Chris, right?

Master Wilhelm was leaning his neck while eating my slightly vegetable thick macaroni salad. I knew the vegetables were fat.

"Phew... it's a treat"

"Thank you very much."

"As always, you're a good skilled cook. As much as I'd recommend you as a court cook."

"My house will be in trouble. Well... as for Chris, maybe that's better."

What I remember is what Chris looked like this morning. Even today, I was scolding Robert for admiration.

I don't know what the circumstances are for my parents, but scolding those who keep being rude like that will also be tiring. Maybe it's something you can't help because of your position as head chef, but with better conditions, it could change that way.

When that happens, Robert is going to make it wider, so I'm in trouble.

"Hmm? You and Alberto aren't doing well?

"My brother always whispers words of love, but they are magnificently flushed. That's the usual."

"So is there also a circumstance?

"Yep..."

It's about the house, but you may tell Master Wilhelm.

In a way, it's like exposing our shame.

"Actually, Chris... the chef's men had a bad attitude. Chris scolds me every day."

"Hmm? Shouldn't you fire a guy like that?

"I think so, too, but for some reason I was still at home. I haven't heard the details..."

"Hmm. Maybe it's some kind of situation."

"Yes, but I can't really ask..."
