Chapter 336: 336
「Welcome back . 」
Somebody was waiting to greet me when the carriage arrived back at the mansion .
When I saw it was Adolph, I immediately sigh .
「So you’re back too . 」
I don’t hate him .
Rather, he was working hard in the south where the dangerous disease was rampant, so I want to express my gratitude .
Now is not a good time though .
Adolph normally doesn’t come greet me . The only times he comes to see me is when he has some troublesome business .
Right, the first thing that comes to mind is the fine of 20,000 gold .
「I thought I left it to Celia and ran away successfully . 」
「I will talk to you about that in depth at another time . 」
I’ll definitely run away then . Unlike Leopolt, he won’t come find me in the brothels .
「I thought I could first report the situation in the south . 」
When I grab Adela’s ass, Celia and Nonna turn to face me .
「Shall we discuss it in the office later?」
Adolph doesn’t say anymore .
It’s rare for him since he usually provides the report no matter how much I say no . I follow his gaze and find Mirkura staring .
She has a serious expression and is watching carefully with a notepad in one hand .
「I heard that a monitoring officer would be coming, but I never thought she would arrive in the same carriage as you……」
Mirkura came once more to the house after that time, and told me she would like to make preparations for staying over before heading to Rafen a day later .
I feel like she also told me a lot of fussy things like how I don’t have the right to refuse the King’s orders and how any additional damage would not be forgiven, and so on .
When it was time to go back to Rafen, I felt it would be more of a hassle for us to go separately, so I asked her to ride in our carriage .
It’s a rather spacious carriage and I didn’t bring along too many family members so there was more than enough room for her to fit .
If the monitoring officer was a man instead of a cute girl like Mirkura, I would have told him to find his own way to get to Rafen .
The more girls you have beside you, the better .
「What is it? I have been commanded by His Majesty the king to monitor――」
Mirkura looks at me with a serious expression when I smile .
Celia counters by glaring at her .
She almost looks like a child with her small body and thin frame .
Probably knowing that herself, she’s wearing a formal uniform to seem more mature despite it being summer and is making a strict expression, although I can’t help but see her as a kid standing upright trying to seem taller than she is .
She’s practically aiming for that look with her protruding fang and bob haircut .
「How cute……」
「Wha-!?」
「Mu!」
I unconsciously voice my thoughts .
Mirkura’s narrow, slanted eyes open wide .
At the same time, Celia’s eyes are raised .
「No need for jokes! I will be retiring for now . 」
