Cain and Riltana leave the school together.
　Normally, Cain commuted to school on foot, but Riltana, due to her position as an imperial princess, commuted to school by carriage. At the waiting area for the carriage at the entrance of the academy, Nigito was standing next to the carriage.
　Coming out of the school building with Cain, Nigito looked a little surprised.

'Good evening, Your Highness Riltana. ...... This is the Earl of Silford, my name is Nigito and I am the steward to His Highness Rilthana. Please get to know me.

　Straightening his posture, the niggito thanked Cain and smiled.

'Master Cain, this is my steward, Nigito. He's been looking after me since I was a little girl. More importantly, head to the Saracarn Trading Company. Master Cain has offered me a piece of glasswork.

'My name is Cain von Silford Drintle. Nice to meet you ...... and why do you want my name ......?

　To Cain, who was wondering, Nigito replied with a big smile.

''That's already, from His Highness Riltana on a daily basis, always always--''

"Niigito!　You don't need to say anything else!

　An impatient-looking Riltana interrupted Nigito's words. With an expression of failure to say too much, Nigito opened the carriage door with a fake smile.

'Oh, I beg your pardon. Now, come to the carriage.'

　Liltana, flushing, urged Cain to get into the carriage.
　As they get into the carriage, the nigito who is playing the role of the guru gives the signal and the carriage begins to move forward.
　Liltana sighs, clutching the necklace around her neck as she looks sideways at Cain's face sitting next to her.

(I knew you wouldn't notice Cain. ......)

　The carriage proceeded to the Saracarn Chamber of Commerce with such feelings of Riltana as an afterthought.


　When they stopped the carriage in front of the Saracarn Chamber of Commerce, it seemed that Parma had already returned to the shop and was still in her uniform, tending the shop.
　When Nigito opened the carriage door and Cain and Riltana got out of the carriage, Parma bowed her head with a slightly surprised expression at the unexpected presence of the two together.

''Lady Cain, Your Highness Riltana, welcome.

'Palma, you're doing well. How is Mr. Tamanis today?

''I was here just now, but I'm at a meeting of the Royal Capital Chamber of Commerce. That's why I've been away ...... I'm sorry the shopkeeper couldn't greet you when His Royal Highness and Lady Cain are here.

　He told Palma, who apologized politely, that he didn't mind, and that he would like to use the back parlor.
　They were led by Palma to the back reception room of the shop and sat down facing each other.
　Palma made them a cup of tea.

'I'm sorry, it's not such a high quality tea, but ......'

　With trepidation, Parma placed the cup of tea poured in front of them.
　They drank the brewed tea and chatted for a bit before getting down to business.
　Cain didn't seem particularly bothered by this, and placed the glasses one by one haphazardly from the item box.

''...... item box ......''

　Normally, everyone in the Saracarn Chamber of Commerce, including Telestia, Silk and Parma, knew that Cain had an item box.
　Riltana, who didn't know, muttered with a slightly surprised expression.

''Oh, I see. ....... His Highness Riltana didn't know about it, right? I don't make it public much, so it's a secret, in case you didn't know.''

　Cain winked and then laid out the reserved number of glasses.
　Riluthanna was admiring the beauty of the glasses as she laid out the three designs, four at a time.

I think you asked for ten, but since it's too late, two of them are gifts from me. You've come all the way to the kingdom, you know.

　Riltana's cheeks turned a little red as Cain gave her a big smile.

''Thank you, Cain-sama. ...... And please call me 'Lil'. Teres and Silk will call me that too.

"--Lil: ......

　Cain suddenly looked like he was thinking about something, but he quickly returned his gaze to Rilthana.

''And yet, Cain-sama also has a talent for the arts. You have already ruled the city, and the arts are ...... in regards to entertainment products, and the Empire doesn't have that much talent. I envy the kingdom.

'That's not true. It's just the people around me that help me.

　They were still chatting afterwards when there was a knock on the room and Nigito came into the reception room.

'If you'll excuse me--this is wonderful!

　She walked into the room and immediately admired the brightly colored glasses that were laid out on the table.
　Riltana patted Nigito on the head as he looked at them excitedly.

'Nigito, you're disgusting,'

　The slapped niggard looked clear, as if his earlier appearance was a lie, "This is rude," he said with a single word and refrained behind Riltana.

''Master Cain, I'm sorry to show you how disgusting it is.

　He called out to Riltana, who bowed her head, that he didn't mind, and proceeded to talk to her.
　There was a request for a few more to be added, but this time they were selling them on a special basis, and Riltana agreed to wait her turn next time.
　The glasses to be delivered to Palma were arranged one by one, and the table was decorated with dozens of glasses.

'So much ......'

　With Riltana swallowing spit into the glasses lined up in front of her, Parma checked the numbers and carried them to the back of the store as an afterthought.
When everything was done, the glasses delivered to Riltana were also put away in a special box.

''Your Highness Riltana, these are the deliveries. Please make sure.

Yes, I made sure I put it away, so there's no problem. Nigito, could you take them to the carriage for me?

"Yes, Your Highness Riltana.

　Nikid carried the boxes carefully and took them to the carriage in turn.
　When all the bags had been loaded, Riltana stood up from her seat.

'Thank you, Parma-san. Thanks to you, I was able to get in early. I hope you will continue to be good friends in the academy.

It's nice to meet you too.

　Parma smiled nervously at the smiling Riltana.

'It's time for me to leave too. There are some important items, and I will send you, Mr. Cain, .......

'Oh, no ...... Yeah, I'll have them send it to you then. Parma, I'll see you at the school again.

'Thank you, Master Cain. I'll be in touch with the people who have reservations as soon as I can.

　The four men left the parlor and climbed into the carriage, and Palma watched them go.

'I'll have to call around tomorrow to get in touch with them. ......

　Watching the carriage disappear from view, Palma muttered and went back to the store.


'Master Cain ...... would you like to stop by the mansion if you would like?　We have some important products, and we're worried about the niggas alone.

　In the carriage, Riltana asked Cain in a whisper.

'That's as good as it gets: ......

Oh, I have some tea leaves I brought from the Empire. I can give you those as well if you like.

　With the pushy Rilutana, Cain was forced to break off and head to Rilutana's mansion.
　Riltana's mansion was located in the nobleman's district, on the opposite side of the street from Cain's mansion. Even so, it was still a thirty-minute walk away.
　The mansion was indeed a more splendid building than Cain's mansion, in order to maintain its pride as a kingdom against the arrival of an imperial princess. In terms of size, it was on par with his father Garum's mansion. As expected, unlike Cain's mansion, it had not been magically altered.
　They attached a carriage in front of the entrance of the mansion, and when they got out of the carriage, all of their attendants were lined up.

''Welcome, Earl Silford,''

　All the followers bowed their heads after greeting each other. Cain followed Riltana into the mansion with a sense of trepidation.
