"I was glad that Lord Solon told me that it was' mine '."

Having said that, Alte whispered to me in embarrassment.

Alte was blushing, and I was surprised by Alte's expression.

Not long ago, I couldn't have imagined that Alte would look at me like this.

"Oh, it's mine, it's just a word..."

"But I'm actually your slave." That's why... please don't let go of me. "

Arte smiled.

I'm the only one Alte can rely on now. My sister, Flora, is under my protection. That's why I thought Alte accepted my position as a slave.

But is that all?

If you think about it, you can call out from behind. Looking back, there was Prince Ivan.

The prince lowered his head with a smile.

“I'm sorry I made a fool like Maxim feel uncomfortable.”

Oh, please don't say that.

Even though he was a prince, he was a low-backed man.

It was Prince Ivan who included Alte in the invitation. I may have been unable to turn down Maxim's request.

But as a result, Maxim's outrage at trying to take Alte by force was stopped by me. Prince Maxim also approves of it.

That's enough.

"Maxim pinched out. Now, let's get back to having a good feast."

"Thank you for your kind words."

"... Solon, I'm counting on you." I want you to guide Ellis and Philia and the two princesses correctly. "

Prince Ivan's brown eyes glowed. Those eyes were so deep that they sucked me in, I felt faint.

This prince is not just a man after all.

But I'm Philia's tutor, and I don't know why I'm talking about guiding Ellis.

When I asked, the prince smiled.

"I know, but I want you to remember that I'm expecting you anyway." I mean, if I were an emperor, I'd make you a minister. "

I was joking, but that was a dangerous statement. I remembered that Prince Ivan was aiming for the throne.

Of course, the successor to the reign had not yet been decided. However, unlike the empress's daughters, Iris, Prince Ivan was not so strong.

That's probably why we need allies.

For example, the benefits of attracting me as a famous magic swordsman to your side are not small.

Prince Ivan's remarks are dangerous. I can't agree with you, but if you deny it, you'll get a corner.

For a moment, when I thought about it, Prince Ivan slapped me on the shoulder as a lump.

Well, just think about it.

You must have taken it easy on me in anticipation of what I can't answer.

Prince Ivan seemed like a capable man. It's not bad to be in a good mood with such a person.

When Philia and the others are in danger, we need a few more people we can rely on.

When I thanked him, Prince Ivan showed Iris by the hand.

"I'm sorry, but I want you to deal with me"

Onii-sama!

"Anyway, I'm going to see Soron every day."

I was surprised.

When I tried to ask what that meant, only Princess Iris was left behind.

Ellis was reddening her face by joining hands with her grandmother.

"Well, don't worry about what that niisama said."

"No, even if you tell me not to worry about it... I'm worried about it."

To be honest with her, she looked embarrassed.

"No, no... I haven't officially decided yet, but I want Solon to be my tutor." Oniisama also recommends it. "

"I-I 'm your tutor!?"

Since you've already taught the princess Philia, it's the same whether you teach one or two princesses, right?

Clarifying, Iris says, her eyes are swimming.

I panicked.

"I don't think that's the problem..."

Th-that Soron doesn't want to teach me?

"It's not that I don't want to." It's an honor. ”

Iris looked relieved when she said that

And I smile. With a soft expression, Iris is a really beautiful girl. I have no bad impression of you when you first met me.

I guess Iris had changed too. I don't know if it's because of me. But perhaps Prince Ivan thought so.

That's why you tried to make me Ellis' tutor.

Sophia came in and grabbed my arm, wondering what I was up to.

”Solon-kun... are you going to leave me alone?”

Sophia's cheeks are swollen. And your soft chest is being pressed against my arm.

The pure white evening dress is thin and the chest is boldly exposed, so the feeling is directly conveyed.

Seeing my jumpy expression, Sophia was embarrassed.

No, because it's the punishment of leaving me alone all the time.

"By the way, punishment..."

Solon-kun, I'm shining.

Sophia blushed, but she laughed happily. When he looked around for help, Alte stared at us enviously, and the sisters of Iris and Philia stared at me with elegant eyes.

Well, don't look at me like that.

I didn't lose to Sophia either.

Ellis snorted, but I couldn't afford to react, and Sophia pulled my sleeve.

It's my turn to dance next, isn't it?

That's right.

I nodded. Soon the next song will begin. When I held Sophia's hand, Sophia blushed in embarrassment and stared at me in anticipation.

Sophia was the only Duchess, and she was very skilled at dancing. Of course, Philia was far more skilled than Iris and Arte.

Still, I can keep up.

After all, I'm the best match for Solon-kun, right?

"I've been with you all this time."

"I know Solon-kun best." I won't give it to Philia-sama or Alte-san...

Sophia tweeted like a word, then raised her tempo to challenge me.

I managed to match Sophia's mastery. He's looking at us with his dazed eyes.

I didn't want to stand out very much, but I don't think I can help it.

At the end of the song, Sophia and I were applauded more than when we danced with Ellis.

Sophia looked up to me.

Even if we're no longer Knight Commander and Deputy Commander, we're still good partners.

There's no one better than Sophia.

When I said that from the bottom of my heart, Sophia's jade eyes shined and she smiled really happy.

Will Sophia and I be able to protect everyone living in the Mansion?

I hope life in the Mansion will continue to be peaceful.

But I soon realized that I had too many sparks.
