After
breakfast, Alvin and the others were making plans to enjoy their vacation.
While Alvin and Milis, Shinji and Renka were discussing what to do in the
dining room, they heard a knock on the front door, informing them that they had
a visitor.
It was
still quite early for a visitor, and Shinji and Renka couldn't help but look at
each other.
「Alvin!
The butler of the Beltz family is here!」
Akane,
who was on her way to deal with the situation, hurried down the corridor and
into the dining room. Although Akane was dressed in a maid's uniform, but she
had never learned how to be a maid, so she was running fast down the corridor.
It was
impolite act, but the butler of the Beltz family waited for Alvin at the
entrance without complaint. He assumed that it was normal for a commoner to
lack a proper maid.
Rather,
he was also impolite because he visited them so early in the morning without an
appointment, despite being ordered to do so by the head of the house.
「Sorry
to keep you waiting!」
Alvin
appears flustered as he approaches the front door. When the butler of the Beltz
family saw Alvin, he bowed deeply to him.
「No,
it's me who should be apologizing for coming so early in the morning. I'm here
to deliver a letter from the young lady」
「Eh?
T-thank you very much」
With
his head still bowed to Alvin, the butler took out a letter from his pocket and
presented it to him. Alvin's eyes blinked as he realized that the butler had
come to deliver the letter on the same day.
「Please
check it」
「Yes」
As asked,
Alvin unsealed the letter he had received and took out the contents.
After
reading the letter, which begins with a polite greeting, he is told that he
should visit the mansion tomorrow. The letter offered Alvin some advantages,
such as the possibility of having an etiquette instructor. And finally, it
ended with the sentence, 「I look forward to meeting you」.
Alvin
is in love with Milis. However, he didn't feel bad about the sentence that made
him feel the straightforward favor from Christina, the beautiful young lady. It
was not only because he did not dislike Christina, but also because he felt
less resistance to her indirect favor, which was different from the direct
favor that was conveyed face to face.
However,
the biggest feeling is that he can't respond to her favor.
「How
about your schedule?」
「Well.
I would like to visit tomorrow as soon as possible」
Alvin
answered the butler's question. He was not expecting such a quick reply, but
after yesterday's discussion, he had decided to stay in the city for a while
instead of going on adventures. As for the honorary knights, they agreed to
respect Alvin's opinion. In any case, Alvin decided to visit the Beltz family,
hoping that there would not be a shortage of time to prepare.
「Thank
you. Well then, I shall see you tomorrow. I will be waiting for you」
「......Yes.
Please give them my regards」
The
butler bowed politely, his expression unchanged, though he was inwardly
relieved that Alvin had given him such a colorful reply. Although overwhelmed
by the sophisticated behavior of the butler, Alvin managed to reply.

「Alvin-san
will be here tomorrow, right? Then please contact the etiquette instructor. And
don't forget to prepare some hospitality」
「Understood.
Ojou-sama」
The
butler who had finished his report left Christina's room in the Beltz family's
mansion in Medio. And then, the only people left in the room were Christina,
her personal maid and her maid.
「You
can go now. I'll be resting in my room」
「「Very
well, Ojou-sama」」
The
personal maids and the maids with different jobs from Akane's bowed neatly and
left the room. After the maids left the room, Christina sat down on the bed and
after a short pause, she fell on her back. Her cheeks were blushing as she
thought of her beloved, and she appeared to be a maiden in love.
「Alvin-san......♡」
If she
closes her eyes, she can vividly recall Alvin's bravery in the arena. The way
he wielded his sword was dignified, the look of agony on his face as he fought
off attacks was cool, and the big smile on his face when he won made her heart
flutter.
Although
he was a commoner at that time, Alvin's facial expressions were full of
emotion, and he attracted the attention of the other noblewomen who came to
watch.
It was
not uncommon for nobles to use their power to interfere with commoners. So
Christina started a rumor that the <Running Wolves> was related to the
Beltz family. As a result, there were no more nobles who wanted to talk to the
<Running Wolves> for fun or out of curiosity.
Of
course, there was no foolish nobleman who would dare to quarrel with the Beltz
family, one of the four families that governed Oeste.
「Finally,
me too...... ♡」
Because
she was in love with him, Christina prevented the nobles from interfering with
her beloved Alvin's adventuring activities so that he could do so without
worry. Now that he was an honorary knight, Alvin could take his beloved Milis
as his full wife. That way, she could become the second wife.
That's
what Christina has been working on.
This
way, Alvin's wishes, Milis's wishes, and her own wishes would all be fulfilled.
Christina is confident that she can make Alvin fall in love with her, and she
can offer him a role that only a noble-born woman can play, such as dealing
with other families.
「I
can't wait for tomorrow..... ♡」
“How
do I sell myself?”
Christina
rolled around on the bed, thinking of the most effective way to sell herself.
- An invitation from the Beltz family. Quick and decisive.
