When students advance to the fourth year, a six-month long vacation awaits them.
During this period, students of the junior academy return home to relax.
Liam, who defeated Derrick, also returned to the Banfield territory.
His fiancée, Rosetta, and his subordinate, Wallace, were with him.
Liam's retainers also returned to the mansion.
Marie, who was petrified two thousand years ago, visits Rosetta's room.
"Rosetta-sama, it's almost time."
Marie calls out to Rosetta using the intercom attached to the side of the door.
Rosetta hastily replies.
"Y-Yes!"
Rosetta, who comes from the Duchy of Claudia, where there were no servants, is not used to life in a mansion.
Therefore, she often treats Marie with deference.
Two female knights are always guarding Rosetta's room.
Servants are also waiting, and Marie speaks to them.
"How is Rosetta-sama?"
"She seems unaccustomed to being served and often refuses. This morning, she said she would prepare herself, so we are waiting outside."
Marie puts her hand to her chin.
"--This is a problem."
In this world, there are plenty of convenient tools for morning preparations.
Servants are not really necessary.
However, the servants around Rosetta are professionals.
Not letting such people do their jobs was nothing but a problem.
"What did Liam-sama say?"
"He said to observe her until she gets used to it."
Marie wishes she would get used to it quickly, but she cannot defy Liam if he allows it.
In the first place, Liam himself has few people by his side.
Due to his unusual upbringing, he only keeps those he trusts close.
--That's what those around him thought.
Normally, given his status as an Earl, it wouldn't be strange for many servants to be around him.
It's a world where machines do everything.
Luxury is defined as having professionals who have mastered their craft serve you.
Sometimes, nobles even compete to see how many people they have around them.
For this reason, many children became spoiled by having servants do everything for them.
The junior academy also serves as a place to educate such children.
(Liam-sama is too simple. Considering his position, I wish he would be a little more extravagant.)
As Marie was thinking this, Rosetta came out of her room.
"I-I'm sorry to keep you waiting."
Marie, straightening her back, replies to the timid Rosetta.
"Rosetta-sama, you must not be subservient to your subordinates."
"R-Right. I'll be careful."
Marie, though troubled by Rosetta's attitude, helps her onto the vehicle waiting in the hallway.
"Then, this way."
--The mansion is so vast that there are vehicles in the hallway for moving around.
Rosetta couldn't understand this.
"Why are there vehicles in the hallway? And is this even a hallway? Could it be an arcade?"
It's strange to move around in a vehicle inside a mansion!
--That must be how Rosetta felt.
"You'll get used to it soon."
Marie puts Rosetta on the vehicle and begins to give her a tour of the mansion.
This was not the job of Marie, the second-in-command knight of Liam's knight order.
However, Marie feels a sense of kinship with Rosetta.
Seeing the nervous Rosetta, she thinks:
(That foolish person turned me to stone, and the Claudia family was made an example of. Considering that, Rosetta-sama is my comrade.)
She is a comrade who was tormented by the emperor who ascended the throne two thousand years ago.
Liam, who saves them, herself and Rosetta, was very noble in Marie's eyes.
"Today, I will guide you to the hospital within the mansion."
Rosetta is surprised.
"There's a hospital inside the mansion!?"
"Of course. It's that large."
"But I heard that the Banfield family has a hospital with medical facilities as advanced as those in the capital star."
Even though such a hospital exists, is another hospital needed within the mansion?
Rosetta doesn't seem to understand.
"--I will guide you there eventually, but please be prepared. Those who receive treatment there are not ordinary people."
They are people who were captured by pirates and subjected to terrible experiences.
"I've heard about it. The head knight who returned said that to become a wife befitting Liam-sama, I must know about it."
Marie's forehead develops a vein, but she endures it and responds with a smile because Rosetta is present.
(That minced meat woman! Stop lecturing me! I'll mince you next time.)
"Liam-sama's knight order was established not long ago. It's only been about ten years, and the head knight changes quickly, so please don't worry about it."
"I-Is that so? Ten years is short. Yet, there seem to be many very capable knights."
In this world's sense, ten years is short.
For a knight order with a long history, at least five hundred years of establishment is necessary.
"And speaking of husband…"
"Is it... strange?"
"No, only Amagi calls Liam-sama 'husband'."
"Amagi-- she's an android, wasn't she?"
"I'm worried about what Liam-sama will think, but let's think of another way to address him to create a distinction."
"Another? Is there something else? Calling him by name or a nickname?"
Marie thinks for a moment--.
"How about 'Darling'?"
--She proposes.
Upon returning to the mansion, I indulged in luxury from the morning.
"It's luxurious to play in the pool in the morning!"
The giant pool, cleaned and refilled overnight.
I wish I could have lined up swimsuit beauties there-- but my beauties are not yet complete.
There are only Amagi in a swimsuit and-- Brian.
Amagi's swimsuit is a modest pareo type.
It's a swimsuit that perfectly suits the gentle Amagi.
I asked the merchant Thomas to prepare a swimsuit made of high-quality fabric.
When he suggested a revealing swimsuit, I yelled, "Are you an idiot!"
This is not a spectacle.
I can't let Amagi wear a revealing swimsuit.
And Brian wears a swimsuit that covers his elbows and knees.
--I don't care about that.
"Liam-sama, here are the fruits for breakfast."
"They're fresh and high-quality, right? I won't eat anything else."
"Of course! I've brought the finest products from the territory, along with the soil."
--What a waste of effort!
The idea of bringing the entire field is absurd.
When I ate it, it was fresh and sweet.
The juice was thin.
"Delicious!"
They go this far for a mere breakfast.
Being a corrupt lord is the best!
Amagi calmly cuts the fruit.
"Eating locally sourced products. How wonderful of you, Master."
"Are you being sarcastic? Don't be angry. I couldn't afford to be extravagant at the junior academy."
As expected, the local area is good.
After all, no one opposes me, and I can experience being a king.
Although, I am something worse than a king.
Brian brings the next item.
"Liam-sama, next is yogurt."
"Is this also high-quality?"
"No, it's homemade by this Brian."
"You really surprise me sometimes. Well, I'll eat it if it's served. --Ah, it's delicious."
It was frustrating that it was surprisingly good.
Wallace watched Liam, who seemed modest.
He thought as he saw Liam eating by the poolside in the morning.
"Liam is so modest. Everything he's eating is from his own territory."
Nobles like Liam, who own territories, can have whatever they want delivered by spaceship.
For fruits, they even transport the fields or people.
From a modern perspective, it looked like he was eating things from his home garden.
In this world-- the luxury of nobles is on a different scale altogether.
They might spend an exorbitant amount of money for a single cup of coffee.
They bring the best water.
They procure the best beans.
They prepare the best tools and the best personnel--.
In short, they go that far.
From Wallace's perspective, Liam is very-- modest.
Brian (crying): "It's painful. To be told we'll part for a while, only to be brought back so soon-- it's painful."
Wakagi-chan (smiling): "The sixth chapter of the comic serialization was updated today! Everyone, please enjoy it!"
Luxion (eyes): "Why does everyone want me to be the heroine?"
Cleare (circle): "It's fine. I haven't even appeared yet."
