"Good morning, Mr. Alec.

　When I awoke in the morning sun, I saw Angier's sagacious beauty above me.
　Angel, who apparently woke up earlier, was already dressed and had a few maids behind her.

　I sat up, lightly rubbing my eyes.

Good morning Angel, you look better than yesterday.
"--Ha!　Oh, thank you.

　Angier looked shy and happy.
　On the other hand, the maids she had were all envious of her maids.

　In the spring when I turned 13 years old, my relationship with Angier changed a bit.

　At this age, girls grow up a little faster than boys.
　Not long ago, Angier was no exception.

　Angel, who now helps me get ready in the morning with her maids, is getting more and more beautiful every day.

"Thank you for your constant concern, Master Alec.
No, I'm just saying what I think. These days, Angier looks like a different person after just one night. Unlike me, the growth seems to be getting worse every day.
"Alec, you've always been a great guy,
Thank you.

　Get ready in the morning with the help of the maids, while being complimented by Angier.

　Knock knock.

Who is this?

　I didn't and Angier responded to the knock.
　As Angel has grown up, I decided to leave some things entirely to him.

　Mostly things in the house.
　I've decided that Angier will be my front room, and by letting her take care of everything in the house, I'm elevating its "stature" or "foil".

　He silently announces that Angel is the mistress of the house (or mother, for that matter).

　After Ange hears this, the door is slowly opened.

Sister!

　It was Eliza who came in.
　Eliza is much more mature than Angel, the burglar emperor, and she has become much more s*xy and creepy at times.

When did you get here, sister?

　A delighted Ange.
　As a mistress, Angel is slowly becoming more and more "like" her husband, but in front of Eliza, she becomes a cute little sister again.
　The gap between the two makes me happy. It's still from a guardian's perspective.

"Just now. I brought you a souvenir to give to you later.
"Thank you sister!
"And--

　Eliza turned to me and smiled wickedly.

"See you in a few days, master (、、、、).
"Yes.

　This one was met with a bitter smile.
　I'm getting used to it, but I still get a bit of a wry smile from Eliza, who becomes a maid (、、、、、、).

　I hope you will get used to it one day.

　　　　　I hope you get used to it some day.

"How is Eliza, Amelia?

　As I was working in my study, Amelia brought me another cup of tea.
　So I quench my thirst and ask Amelia.

　Amelia is a little different this spring.
　She's become the head maid in the home.

　This is a gesture from the father.

　There are two distinct types of maids in the house.
　Your old maid and my maid who is close in age to me.

　Making Amelia head maid means she will gradually pass the reigns to me.
　Your maids have mostly withdrawn from the house and only take care of your mother and father.
　My maids are in their place.

　Father would have handed over the governor the day I was born if mother hadn't stopped him, rather late.

　Amelia, the head maid, was also Eliza's boss when she was a maid.

As a maid, she has no complaints.
"Huh.

　That's a bit surprising.

"I'm perfect for the job and once I put on a maid's outfit, I'll act like a complete maid.
"Huh.
"Considering the fact that we are dealing with the Emperor, we have been rude to you, and you do not question everything that happens between the maids.
You're very open-minded.
"Would you like to see it in person?
I'll do that. Yeah, but I don't want to get in the way of your work: ......

　I touched the wise man's sword softly.
　Amelia, who had known me for a long time, waited patiently without saying a word.

　I traced my finger across my desk and drew a magic circle.
　The completed magic circle glowed and a plush, palm-sized object came out of it.

Cute ......

　The body is an eyeball, but that eyeball has arms and legs attached to it.
　It stumbles along, sometimes with a slight wobble.

Excuse me.
"It's good. You're pretty.
Gohondo ...... What does it look like?


It's like this.

　This time he traced his finger in the air and drew a rectangular frame.
　It also emitted a faint light and then projected an image.

"So that's how it works.

　Amelia nods, comparing the image in the air and the dwarf eyeball in turn.
　At a glance, it's clear that what you see on the screen in the air is what the eyeball sees.

Yeah, go check it out. Go ahead.

　The centerpiece bowed with a bow.
He didn't have a waist, but he bowed like a little kid bent over with gusto.

　Then he ran off with a plop.

　She walked to the edge of the office desk, dangled over the edge, and then jumped onto the desk leg and slyly climbed down to the floor with her short limbs.

It's still cute: ......
The gestures are so flirtatious.

　The door was opened by Amelia. Then she bows to Amelia one more time.
　Then I jumped off on my mission.

　When she comes back, Amelia and I watch the screen for a while.
　The view goes on and on, and soon they come to the mess hall.

　There are some maids there, including Eliza.

　The maids are polishing silver dishes and chatting with each other.

Eliza-chan, is this how it looks over here?
"Yes, perfect. But don't touch it with your bare hands at the end, otherwise it will turn black for the masters to use.
"I see, I'm sorry.

You're usually doing it right, even giving advice.
"You are a very quick learner. Honestly, it would be a shame to make him the emperor.
That's kind of a funny word.

　I pointed out and laughed with Amelia.
　You can tell Amelia is joking in these stories.

　If the fathers said the same thing, I would seriously doubt that my maid is the emperor.

"Hey Milia, what happened to that thing you were talking about the other day?
"Of course I said no. I've already decided I'm going to stay with Mr. Alec and be his maid.
It's a shame, you're a very rich merchant who proposed to me. And he's still young.
"So, did you get Colette?
"No, I'm not going to take it.

　The maid who pointed out that it was a waste, Colette, shook her head simply in response to her own suggestion.

"You can't be happier than Alec's maid," she said.
"Right

The thing is, with
I'm glad, even a little embarrassed.
"The maids are the real deal.

　That's okay.
　Well, it seems Eliza is doing well, that's good.

"Hey, you're the new maid.

Hmm?

　Another woman's voice interrupted. It's a bit of a sword fight.

　The eyeballs moved, and the screen pulled back a bit to reveal a scene where Eliza and her friends, who were working, and the woman who came in, both fit.

　It was also a maid who came in.

"And you are?
"You don't know about me?　The Duke of Oin's oldest daughter, Chosen.

　She was a high-powered woman.
　When she looked at Amelia, she nodded and said, "I'm from the Oin family the other day.

"I'm a duchess from the Duke and Duchess of Oin the other day. Her character is as you can see at .......

　Amelia looked a little difficult.
　That's a lot to take in.

　Watching the screen again, I was almost blown away.
　The best comedy I've seen in years is that Chosen, with his dignified duchess, is actually the emperor.

　If it weren't for Eliza, it would have turned into a tragedy.

"This Mr. Chosen, do you want to see me?
"You, join my group.
"Group?
"Yes. Normally, I wouldn't even have to deal with a girl like you, except in a place like this. I'll add that to your list, so be thankful that fate brought you together.

"Let's see, that means ......
"I see you're trying to create a faction.
How often does this happen?
"The duke's daughter sometimes. When they first arrive, they tend to bring their families with them. The Baron's daughters, on the other hand, are straightforward from the start.
I see.

　I laughed, even on the screen, Eliza's face was bitter and disgusted.

I'm sorry, but I'm not interested.
"What?



　Chosen raised an eyebrow.

You should be grateful that fate has brought you together. You are grateful for the chance to be Master Alec's maid, so stop being the king of the mountain and just think about serving him.
"You're the king of the mountain?

　Keeeeee!　And get pissed off at Chosen.
　You'll ruin your beautiful face.

What do you want to do?
Hmmm, I guess we don't have to do anything.

　I said and turned off the screen.

"A power struggle like that is just child's play to Elisa.

　Compared to the number of conspiracies in the palace, where the emperor lives, hey .......

　Even if you don't do anything, Eliza will take care of it herself.
　Even if you stipulate yourself as a maid, even if you seal the authority of the emperor.
　That kind of thing is nothing.

That's fine. That's more like it.
"What?
Eliza's 'Dear Alec' was so natural. You have to feel that way to get out.
"Ah, ......
"It's really amazing that you let Master Eliza go through with it,

　I don't know, maybe it's not like women are good at acting or something.

No, no.

　It was as if Amelia had read my mind and denied it once and for all.
