Prologue

 

 Oh, I don’t want to go to work.

 

 I sighed and looked up at the huge iron gate in front of me.

 

  “What’s the matter?”

 

 Could it be because I was restless for a long time in front of the mansion deciding whether to go in or not?

 

  The soldier guarding the front door spoke to me while being cautious.

 

 “My name is Zion Rivelon, appointed as the Duke’s aide from today.”

 

 He showed a questionable expression that seems to shout, ‘You are suspicious!’ at any moment. 

 

I responded quickly, took out the access card and the appointment letter that arrived in the mail a few days ago from my pocket, and handed it to him.

 

 “Come to think of it…”

 

 The soldier who muttered to himself, checked the certificate and the letter of appointment recounting if he heard about my arrival in advance.

 

 After checking the contents, he returned them with a smile and a relaxed expression on his face.

 

 “Haha, I think you’re very nervous because it’s your first day at work. But don’t worry, Duke Prasidus is a very kind and gentle person!”

 

 “Ah, haha. That’s right, yes…”

 

 “You don’t have to be so nervous!”

 

 The soldier did not pay attention to my shaky reply, and said what he wanted while pushing me ahead with a friendly face.

 

  Eventually, I trudged forward, feeling like a cow being dragged to the slaughterhouse.

 

 The Dukedom of Prasidus, who I have to work for starting today, is one of the only two Dukedoms in the Holy Lumen Empire.  

 

Among them, the people of the Dukedom of Prasidus were particularly gifted with strong divine powers.

 

 Thanks to them, the empire produced so many cardinals. What am I saying?

 

 The person I will serve was born with a strong divine power that is hard to find even in such a family.

 

 “Serpence A. Prasidus.”

 

 This is the name of the person I will serve in the future.

 

 I put it in my mouth to strengthen my resolve, but on the contrary, I lost more strength.

 

 Serpence was strict with himself, but he knew how to be kind to others.

 

 As much as his divine power was immense, his devotion was deep, and he is known as a devout believer who always follows the will of the goddess.

 

 He was very considerate toward his subordinates and never got angry or abused his power.

 His work ability is very good, and he is famous for not having heavy work because he handles most of his work himself.

 

 Therefore, when people are asked who they want to have as their boss, anyone would give his name.

 

 I have been appointed as an assistant to such a person.
