After returning to the mansion, Leold immediately went to his office to consult Sylvia about the mithril.

 The room was full of civil servants and others involved in Zeat's domestic affairs, and Sylvia was sitting at a large desk in the centre of the room.

 The civil servants carried the documents they had compiled to Sylvia one after another, and after a few questions and remarks, they returned to their seats.

 Leold, who had been watching this scene for some time, waited until the line of civil servants had been closed.

"Sylvia, may I come in now?"

"Master Leold. I see you have returned."

"Yes. I'm sorry I left you in charge."

"No, it's fine. As a wife, it is my duty to support my husband. But I'm still your fiancée."

 Leold couldn't help but be amused by the mischievously smiling Sylvia, and when he was smitten, he noticed the smiling glances from the civil servants, and he blushed and coughed to cover up his blush.

"Ahem! Well, we'll have a ceremony one of these days, I promise. ......"

"You'd better be quick, sir.

" Ugh1?"

 Leold was so startled by Isabelle coming out from behind him that he jumped back with a pitiful scream.

'You're going to kill me!"

'I was unusually careless, so I was just trying to surprise you for the first time in a long time"

 Isabelle winks cutely, as if the prank has succeeded.

 Leold who saw this mutters with a disappointed look on his face.

"For the first time in a long time, I'm annoyed. ......"

"Master Leold. 'I'm not going to cheat on you in front of my fiancée."

"What in the world is flirtatious about our current conversation, ......?"

"And Isabelle. The only person who can make fun of Leold is me. From now on, you must be very careful."

"I'm already under Master Leold's command, so I can't obey Lady Sylvia's orders!"

"I am Master Leold's wife and therefore your master!"

"You are still his fiancée, aren't you? You said so yourself just now, didn't you?'"

"Guh! You're a married man, you're a cocky one!"

"If you want to get married, you'd better get married."

"Marriage is already confirmed!"

"But you haven't decided when you're going to get married, right? Is it really fair to say that it is definite? 'Perhaps Master Leold will marry another woman."

'No, that's not true! Leold-sama is a man of integrity! Well, , he actually said he was fine with just me."

 Seemingly embarrassed by her own statement, Sylvia blushed and began to play with her hair, twirling it around.

'Oh, dear, what are you so shy about? You'll have a hard time when you're married, won't you?"

"You talk like you know something!"

"I do know. I am a genuine married woman."

 Sylvia has nothing to say to Isabelle, who is puffing out her chest with a smug look on her face.

 Sylvia had no room to argue with Isabelle, who is still engaged and has only had a few encounters with Leoldo.

"Ugh......."

 Sylvia can only bite her back teeth and glare at her.

  As expected Leold intervened between the two of them as it was not only a waste of time but was also likely to cause damage to himself as well.

"That's enough. Isabelle, refrain from going any further. I have something important to discuss with her."

"Okay, I understand. That's enough for this time."

 Leold is fed up with the thought that there will be a next time, but Isabelle was Sylvia's squire until she came under his wing.

 The exchange they had just had shows that they are great friends.

 If that is the case, Sylvia would not seriously blame her.

 Leold guessed it that way.

"Sylvia. I want to talk to you. Can we talk now?"

'Yes, I'm fine. I'm fine now that I've calmed down at work."

"That's right. The princess has done her job very well on behalf of Leold-sama."

 The civil servants voiced their opinions.

 Leold turned his head from Sylvia to the civil servants and gave them a twitchy smile.

" I see. So you say you'd rather work for Sylvia than for me."

 Of course we'd rather have a beautiful, intelligent princess who cares for us than a Leold who's always away!"

「「「「 Yes, yes, yes!}}}

"Good nerve, boys. You don't seem to know that I could cut off your head if I wanted to."

'Go ahead and do it if you can! It's you who would be in trouble if we were gone, isn't it, Leold-sama?"

 The unexpected rebuttal stunned Leold as if he had been hit in the face, but he soon burst into laughter and laughed.

"Kukkukkukkukkukkukkukkukkukkukkukkukkukkukkukkukkukkukkukk! You got to say it."

'It's thanks to you, Leold-sama. I've been trained a lot in this workplace."

'You can't do well in this workplace if you don't have this kind of gallantry."

"You've got Leold, Her Highness the Princess and Charlotte."

Her Royal Highness is the only one who can help me.

The other two are hard to stomach.

"Leold is a wild man, so he leaves his work behind and disappears immediately, and Charlotte is like a cat, so she interferes with our work and helps us when she feels like it."

"You really have to be strong-minded in this place of work."

"That's a lot of words. ......"

 The civil servants said one after the other, and even Leold, who is a stone, was depressed.

 Nevertheless, the civil servants are correct, and he can only reflect on what they say.

 However, if asked if it will improve in the future, Leold would say no.

'Well, that's fine. I've improved a lot now thanks to Sylvia-sama. I got a really good wife, you know. Oh, didn't we get married yet? I want to feel at ease as soon as possible, so I'll be hoping ASAP."

"Of course I will, even if you don't tell me! If you waste any more time talking nonsense, I'll have to cut your pay!"

'Wow! That's outrageous! If you insist, I'll strike!"

"At this point, let's pull Master Leold off the throne and let His Highness the Princess do it"!

"I'll strike if you're so keen! We're more grateful to you for that! I'd rather have a lord who works hard and does his job well than one who abandons it!"

'You've done me a favour by helping me out. ...... Get it together and come at me!"

'I'll show you the power of my desk job!'

「「「「 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! 」」」」

 Like an avalanche, Leold is attacked by the civil servants.

 Leold was unable to fight back recklessly because he didn't want them to get hurt, so he left them to their own devices, but they seemed to get irritated and eventually threw them all to the ground.

'Hmph. You're a thousand years too young to try to beat me."

 Leold claps his hands as if to brush the dirt off his hands, and takes one look at the pile of civil servants.

'Hmm, Master Leold is loved, isn't he?"

'What's the point of this, ......?"

"Normally speaking, you can't be rude to Leold-sama, who is a lord. I am sure Master Leold is usually kind, and that's why they are enjoying themselves like that."

「「「「No, no, that's never the case. 」」」」

 The civil servants all deny Sylvia's statement with their mouths.

 Leold smiles in disgust and gives the civil servants some time off.

"After you've rested for a while, make sure you work hard."

'Understood, sir. We'll finish up as soon as we can."

 The civil servants, who had risen to their feet before he knew it, returned to their seats in droves and began to finish the work that remained.

 The civil servants hired and trained by Leold are excellent, although their attitude may be problematic.

 The earlier exchange was just a flirtation. Normally, the civil servants are serious people and are polite to Leold.

"Well then, Sylvia, let's talk in the other room. "

"Yes. I understand."

"Then I'll prepare some tea."

 Leold left the office with Sylvia and Isabelle
