Actually, I Was The Real One
Chapter 15
"Our woman was really drunk. What do we do?"
"I'll ask them to carry it."
Joseph called Reina and three other female knights to bring the woman home. The women entered the carriage and went straight to the mansion.
Joseph : “Fiuh..”
The drinking party ended well. Joseph felt relieved because the atmosphere was not as cold as before.
Arthur, who was standing beside her, said, “The woman seems to be having fun, so stop sighing.”
Joseph: “... Not like that.”
Arthur: “I know you're really worried. You've looked back a few times. ”
Joseph : “Not like that.”
Arthur: "Hey, you're ashamed."
He always felt that Arthur was a bitch. Maybe it's because being the youngest child is fun, but he's getting more and more into meddling.
Joseph did not hesitate to hit him at once. He kicked Arthur in the shin.
“Ak!” Arthur jumped up and down, grabbing where he was kicked. “Wah, that's too much!”
Joseph: “... so does the woman.”
Artha: “What?”
Joseph : “What are you talking about?”
“Hmm, just this and that? We are talking about how scary His Majesty is.” Joseph looked at her sharply as he said that, but Arthur cunningly added, “Madam we also swore to her. If you will punish him, we will join you.”
“…”
He's a real bitch.
Joseph kicked his shins again.
The carriage was just a speck in the distance as he watched it return to the mansion. He could not help but remember the scene of the woman they were playing with them, her face flushed under the influence of alcohol ... Crying and talking about her misery.
“…”
Joseph's face flushed, not at all because of alcohol.
Arthur: “Oh, Mr Joseph, is your face flushed?”
Joseph: "Dark, j-so you must be wrong."
Artha: “Really? Am I also wrong, that you stutter?”
He really sucks, doesn't he?
Joseph tried to kick him once more, but this time Arthur dodged.
Arthur changed the subject. “I don't know our women like that. I thought he was a cold and scary person ... Unexpectedly, she was gentle and a little funny ... "
Joseph: "Take care of your mouth, Walford."
How dare he describe his superior as a 'cute?' A subordinate has no right to say that.
Joseph wrapped his arm around Arthur's shoulder and dragged him to the carriage. If they want to go to work tomorrow, they have to take a break.
He leaned back into the chair and was deep in thought. Although he reprimanded Arthur, he agreed to some extent.
Especially, when she apologizes and is too embarrassed to make eye contact…
Joseph, who was thinking about it, shook his head. He should not think rudely about the woman.
He deliberately filled his head with other thoughts, yet there was nothing he could do about his blushing face.
ACTION 2.
The worst way to know that a person has a weak tolerance for alcohol is to wake up the next day drunk. Keira had to suffer from being drunk all morning.
Fortunately, his morning schedule was empty as he announced yesterday that he would be taking a break.
He held his throbbing head and said to Rose. “Free my sorebook schedule too.”
Rose: “All afternoon..?”
Keyra: “True.”
Rose: "You're definitely not feeling well."
Keyra: “Not it. I just want to rest.”
Rose : “Sorry?”
Rose's eyes widened.
Keira is a girl who is never lazy, so Rose does not believe that his wife has been in bed all day. But Rose was a servant, and she would not dare to interfere.
"I will," said Rose, and left the room.
He had more free time since he had rested from the duties of the Knight Captain, but there was no time to relax.
Cosette's gonna be here soon.
Keyra stand. First, she must figure out the truth of what Cosette said.
He rang the bell, and Rose immediately returned.
Rose: "Yes, Madam?"
Keira: “Please send someone to the temple. I want to borrow all the data about spirit.”
If it was information about spirits, the temple would be more reliable than the library of the Imperial Palace.
Thanks to the temple and the close relationship of the Grand Duke of Parvis, it is not difficult to make use of the temple facilities.
When the other servants left, Keira turned to Rose.
Keyra: "Roses."
Rose: "Yes, Madam?"
Keira: “If you can live as you like from now on, what do you want to do?”
Rose: “Hmm... Is it with the premise that there are no economic restrictions?”
Keyra: “True.”
Rose hummed and thought about it for a moment. "If someone gives me money to live for the rest of my life and asks me to live the way I want, I will travel and travel."
Keira: “Travel? Why?"
Rose: “It was one of my dreams. I have never been outside the walls of the capital since I was born. I want to see the sea and a waterfall larger than two gates combined. Anyway, I want to experience a world I have never seen before.”.
Rose's voice was excited as she said so.
“In fact, I'm still saving to do that. My dream is to go on vacation to the nearest city with the capital.”
Rose was one of the people who remained by her side even when most of the staff manor moved to Cosette's side.
Keira: “Oke, you can go on your next vacation. I will tell the butler to bear the cost. ”
As expected, Rose was delighted.
Rose: “B-really? Thank you very much, Madam!”
Keira: “Are you so happy? You will only go to the nearest city. ”
Rose: “Of course! I don't want to live my whole life in this little capital. I will see some of the attractions of the continent! It's a waste to live in this place, right? I don't want my life to just work then die.”
Keira thought about it for a while and said, “. A person's life should not only be born to work, and die.”
“Yeah, my lady. You sound like a long-lived parent.”
Keyra just smiled without answering.
Although he was not an old man, he had suffered death once.
Human time is limited. Birth and death are not the purpose of life.
So, it is important to consider correctly how to spend that time. Doesn't he have a history of wasting his life on meaningless things?
If he had a difficult life in the past, could he be free to laze around this time?
Should I roll around and relax in bed now?
But it's not living a new life; it's doing nothing. He did not want to waste his time in such a way.
'Traveling…'
Seeing Rose so excited made him feel something. A new world. A world he had never experienced before.
The world Keira knew was very small. Unfriendly families and limited people.
A family duty that he had to listen to over and over again.
Meeting, obeying, and being educated are all limited.
He sometimes wondered what if he was born into a family that was not the Parvis family? How does it feel to be born into a family without obligations or rules, and to be educated and raised in a different environment?
How does it feel to live in a different world?
Keira: “In retrospect, I feel the same way as Rose.”
Rose: “Sorry?”
Keira: "It's a waste of life to live in a small world."
Rose: “Uh... Does this mean you want to travel with me?”
That's not possible. Cosette will appear soon, so it is difficult to leave the capital for a long time.
“I don't mean I want to go for a walk. But I was suddenly curious about the world outside of the manor. What kind of life does someone else have? Something like that."
