âI didnât pretend not to know the Imperial language.â
âThatâs funny! You were looking forward to her translation! I saw it all!â
Noel clearly remembered Alicia staring at Rieta in particular.
He doesnât know why such a thing remained in his memory.
Alicia calmly continued to answer Noelâs interrogation.
âThe Princessâ Imperial language is so outstanding that Iâm just speechless.â
Noel was stunned once more, because that was ridiculous.
If the term âoutstandingâ was to be used, it would suit Alicia more than Rieta.
âDo you even hear that flat pronunciation?â
âThe Princessâ pronunciation is not flat. It just has a little bit of a mix with Kingdom tones. Itâs something she should be proud of, as a Princess of the Kingdom.â
He didnât expect anyone to talk so seriously about nonsense like this.
ââŚâŚDoes it make you feel better to wrap her incompetence in pretty words?â
âI donât think Iâve ever felt better when thinking about the Princess.â
Really. It really turned out to be like this.
By this point, Noel was scared to refute anything he said.
Alicia would try to praise Rieta in any way.
Just like a loyal servant.
âAnyway, to answer your question from a while ago, Iâm looking for a job.â
âYes, they said they were looking for someone to run errands at the military academy.â
He took an envelope from his arms and held it out to Noel.
When he opened it, there was a job advertisement cut from the newspaper.
As he had said, they were looking for a boy to run errands at the military academy.
Itâs a great place to make money and settle down in a boarding roomâ.
It was also a job with many shortcomings, which couldnât be ignored.
In the first place, the military academy was a rough place where the power of the rank remained.
It was already well known that the current errand runner was being unfairly bullied.
Even Noel had heard about it.
Therefore, no one was willing to walk to such a place unless they had some determination or circumstances.
âHuhâŚ. has the Princess seen this, too?â
âNo, I donât want to make her worry about me.â
Seeing Alicia answer that way, It seemed he had decided to work there even after hearing all the rumors.
âHey, if itâs work, arenât there a lot of other places?â
âNot really. And itâs very rare to get accommodations and meals in places where minors can work legally.â
If such conditions were necessary, it would be better to start working for a noble family somewhere.
Noble families donât treat their servants carelessly.
âAnd I thought it would be a good study opportunity for me, to see the knights up close.â
âIf thatâs the case, why donât you take the test so you can be a cadet? Weâve got room and board.â
âI am from the Kingdom. Itâs quite difficult to get into the Imperial Academy.â
The biggest problem was King Lizâs recommendation to study abroad.
Perhaps King Liz would not write such documents even if Aliciaâs skills reached those of a Sword Master.
Itâs going to be annoying.
If King Liz didnât let him, someone of a similarly high status would have to back Alicia.
However, that was practically impossible, so Alicia gave up his opportunity to be a knight cadet.
âOf course, he did want to be a cadet, but the impossible would only stay the impossible.
âHowever, I heard⌠itâs quite rough there.â
As Noel mumbled anxiously, Alicia laughed a little.
âYou donât have to worry too much. Thank you, young master.â
âW-whoâs worried about you?!â
Noel screamed incomprehensibly and clenched his gloved fist.
âYou should try to get in even if itâs hard! Y-youâre not stupid!â
âEven if I were stupid, I still canât do. I can only stay in the Empire this way.â
âWhy the hell would you want to stay here?â
âAs Iâve been far away from the princess, Iâve been feeling uneasy.â
Alicia sighed, brushing his chest. He was really worried about Rieta, so he didnât know what to do.
By that time, even the dense Noel noticed it.
Rietaâs kingdom servant was out of his mind.
It was fortunate that the carriage just arrived at the military academy.
If Noel listened to more of Aliciaâs ridiculously loyal rant, he would go insane.
