7-Episode 7: Princess Philia



 The girl in front of me was pretending to be a maid, but she was really an imperial princess.
 When I understood, I felt my face quickly turn pale.
 Sophisticated behavior. A stunningly beautiful figure with silvery hair, and an unnatural brightness. And an unnatural brightness.
 Indeed, it was more natural to assume that this girl was not a maid, but a noble status.
 The girl seemed to be accustomed to it and walked to the back of the large room and sat down on a plush red chair there.
 I hurried into the room and knelt down in front of the girl.

'What's wrong?'

"...Your Highness. Please forgive me for my earlier rudeness.

 I said in a muffled voice.

'Rude? Solon didn't do anything rude, you know?

But I didn't know it was Her Highness, and I spoke to her as if she were my guest.

"Because I called myself 'Leah the Maid,' right? Then it's not Solon's fault, is it?

I'm sure you're right, but...

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you.

 Apologetically, His Highness Filia looked at me with a superior look.
 I took a deep breath.
 It's not that Her Royal Highness is angry. It's not that anyone is looking at me.
 Then it shouldn't be disrespectful or anything serious.
 I shook my head.

'I'm not troubled. I'm just a little surprised. But why did you lie to me like this?'

I wanted to know who you are. I'm an imperial princess, so people get nervous, and they don't really talk to me.

'But if you disguise yourself as a maid, you can find out who they really are, can't you?

 His Highness Filia gave a small nod.
 She seems innocent, and she's a child who thinks a lot, I guess.
 If that's the reason, I wouldn't be so angry that she lied to me.
 I smiled and asked the Princess Highness.

''So, do you understand what kind of person I am?''

I found you to be a kind and humble person. You're very strong, but you don't act like you're bossy. You even do a lot of favors for maids you've just met.

 With a whimper, as if jumping up and down, His Highness Filia pulls herself closer to me.
 His eyes sparkle and he is looking straight at me.

It's true that I think of Solon as a hero, and it's also true that I'm happy to see him?

I'm not a very respectable person, Your Highness. But I am honored to hear you say so, Your Highness.

'You didn't have to be so hard. You can speak more normally. Like when you talk to Leah the Maid.

But.....

Solon is to be my teacher from now on. You will keep your promise to Maid of Honor, won't you?

"I would be delighted to receive an order from Your Highness. After all, I have come here to be Your Highness' tutor.

 When I said that, for some reason, His Highness Filia looked a little dissatisfied. Did I say something to put him in a bad mood?
 However, His Highness immediately returned to a bright smile.

''Nice to meet you. Solon. I look forward to learning from you.

 His Highness held out his beautiful hand to me.
 It seemed to say, let's shake hands.
 I hesitated for a moment, then held out my right hand to shake it.

'I hope this is as good as your highness expects,'
