Princess Filia's Highness, who was still in her maid's uniform, popped her hand.

'I have to go change.'

Speaking of which, do you have any maidservants or something?

　In normal circumstances, there should be a real maid somewhere who serves the princess.

There's only one, though.

That's not much.

　I answered reflexively and regretted it.
　Wasn't it rude to say that?

　The fact that few servants are there is proof that His Highness Filia is being treated coldly. It wouldn't be surprising if it offended the princess to point that out out out to her.
　But the princess smiled in amusement.

''Yes. It's not much. Oh, shall I make you a cup of tea?　And I'm wearing a maid's uniform.

So, can you do it...?

　That kind of thing is something servants do, and I thought that a person who might be an imperial princess would have never held anything heavier than a pen and had no life skills at all.
　In fact, in the mansion where my father was a servant, the duchess really couldn't do anything about it.
　His Highness Filia puffed out her cheeks.

''I hope you don't treat me like a child. It's so easy to do something like that.''

No, no. I'll make you a drink.

You see, I don't think I can.

　His Highness Filia snapped her fingers as she put the water into a one-handed pot.
　Instantly the water turned to hot water and boiled.
　That's impressive, I thought to myself.
　His Highness has mastered fire magic and uses it in his daily life.
　I wonder who taught him to do this?

　His Highness said as he sang.

'If you want to brew a good cup of tea, make sure you boil the water well!

　Then Her Royal Highness quickly warmed up the pot, put the tea leaves in and began to steep.
　We had to wait for three minutes with an hourglass before we could get a good cup of tea.
　His Royal Highness and I sat down and waited.
　I let the princess brew the tea, but was it good?
　No, it can't be good.
　If I had a servant to prepare tea for the Lord, I'd be fired.

'Never mind that,'

　The Princess said as if she could see right through my inner thoughts.

''It's what I like to do.

But...

I love being able to do something for someone else. Isn't it nice to be able to help someone, even if it's just a small thing?

'Yes, sir. That's why I've been an adventurer.

　I whispered and His Highness Philia smiled happily.

'Unlike me, Solon has power. As a magic swordsman, you have the power to forge your own path and save others.

　I doubt it. I've always been underpowered, and I've always regretted that.
　Whether it was getting kicked out of the Order, the death of a girl who was once my friend, or countless other failures.
　All of these things happened because of my helplessness.
　Regardless of my inner feelings, His Highness Filia says in a bouncy voice.

'Tea, are we in?'

　The tea made by Princess Filia was indeed good.
