Steam could be seen rising from Endsk’s stone-paved streets, which were soaked in hot water from the springs underneath them.

After travelling past some vegetable fields, two carriages entered the town of Endsk. They then passed through an area with many houses, shops, and inns before stopping at the entrance of an inn, which possessed quite the sophisticated aura.

Dressed as a knight, Liona got off the carriage with Night in tow. She took a look at her surroundings and exclaimed in admiration, “Ahh, we finally arrived! What an interesting town!” She didn’t seem to care about the attention she was getting.

Liselotte came down next in her maid uniform and whispered to her, “Princess, you’re showing improper behavior.”

“Oops, my mistake. Please take my hand, Lord Violant,” said Liona, offering her right hand to Vio. 

But that only made him pale. “Princess, please stop that. You shouldn’t offer your hand to someone of lower rank.”

“You’re being too uptight. You can just play along with me, you know?”

“My heart can’t handle it!”

Liona only shrugged in response to Vio’s stubborn refusal. Behind Liona, Legion said in a mild tone, “Princess, please refrain from playing around too much.”

“I understand…” Liona reluctantly moved back. Legion took her place and offered his hand to Vio. Vio placed his left hand on top of it and disembarked from the carriage.

This is really bad for my heart… 

Vio breathed in.

During their stay in Degas town, Night had announced the plan he had come up with. Afterward, they decided to implement it before leaving Degas.

His suggestion had been to paint Liona’s black carriage green, then rent an unmanned black carriage and have it depart for Nada town. Meanwhile, Liona and the others would pretend to be Vio’s servants and follow him to Endsk.

That was why Countess Liselotte had now become Maid Liselotte. Meanwhile, the others used the same disguises they had donned when they had left Nada town. 

Actually, there was another reason why Liselotte had to change her disguise. It wouldn’t be good for rumors about Lady Liselotte and Lord Violant traveling together to arise and spread. An unmarried man and woman travelling together was considered a scandalous matter. As such, having her act as his servant would be better.

They had yet to discover any signs of being pursued so far.

Vio took the inn’s largest suite and gave the room to Liona, intending to stay in the servant’s room. However, Jill, who had gotten off the carriage ahead of them to head to the reception desk, came back with a graceful elder in tow.

“I have rented the room, Young Master. This is Mister Brown. He’s the manager of the inn.”

“Welcome, Lord Violant. My name is Sugal Brown,” said Brown, extending his hand toward him. Vio accepted the handshake then tentatively said, “Uh, Sugar?”

“No, it’s Sugal. Sugal Brown.”

“Ah, I apologize. I’ve just never heard of such a name before…”

“It’s fine. It’s a rather common name around this area, but I do often hear that from guests who hail from other regions,” Brown replied, emphasizing the word “region.” The Leca town that Vio governed could certainly be considered a rural area in the eyes of foreigners, but he didn’t expect to be ridiculed right at the very start. And even without that fact, these people might still look down on him due to his reputation as the “incompetent younger brother.”

Vio pretended not to notice the hidden barbs in his words. “Then, I’ll be under your care, Brown.”

“Yes, you will surely be satisfied.”

Brown’s mouth was pretty sharp, but the room he prepared was great. The room was decorated in mainly white and green and looked like a great place to relax. Outside the main building was a private annex, equipped with a private bath.

If Princess didn’t say that she would fund us, we wouldn’t have chosen to stay in this room… 

They would have stayed in a three-star inn in disguise instead. Unlike in the royal capital, no nobles would start rumors here, so it was completely fine to settle for a more economic option.

Once all the luggage were brought into the room’s entrance hall, Vio had the inn’s maid and staff leave the room.

“Princess, please take the bedroom. Miss Liselotte can use the servant room next door. I will take the servant room on the second floor.”

“Ah, then I’ll take you up on that offer. Thank you, Lord Violant.”

“I don’t mind this arrangement, but please make sure not to leave any hair or things like that in the room, Miss Liselotte. If people discover that a woman has been using this room… Uh…”

“They’ll misunderstand that you brought a woman here?”

Vio looked away, face bitter. It was just as Liona said, but he didn’t know how he should reply after she stated it so clearly. Then Liselotte complained, “Princess, please know a bit of shame. You’re troubling Lord Violant.”

“Yeah, yeah. Let’s go enjoy the baths now!”

“You’re not listening at all!”

As Liselotte put her hands on her waist, Jill handed her a booklet describing the correct bathing method and said, “Please enjoy yourselves.”

“Sir Lantz, we’re going up.”

“Alright, thank you for your cooperation, Lord Violant.”

Vio nodded to Lantz who bowed before going back to the entrance hall with Jill. He climbed the stairs with Liona’s coachman Royce, Night, Cheval, Rille, Legion, and Hauser carrying the luggage. The Samarellis weren’t here since they were going to stay at the mage’s house to discuss Vio.

“Would you like a hand?” Vio asked, thinking they were all busy, but everyone simultaneously answered, “Not at all!”

Vio actually wanted to try unpacking his own luggage, but the others would definitely find it unacceptable to have their master help them. Since he knew they wouldn’t yield, he gave up. “I was joking… Where’s my room?” 

“It’s here.” Rille guided him to another private room, which seemed to be the room prepared for the head of the butlers and maids. It was a lot smaller than Vio’s room in Leca town, but it was still properly furnished with a closet, table, and chairs.

“I will go unpack your luggage now, Master. Please just relax here,” said Rille, going back to carry the luggage.

Meanwhile, Jill said, “Young Master, let me prepare you some tea.” Then he left the room for a while before returning with tea, along with some sweets and books.” After setting them on the table, he went out again. 

After taking a sip of the tea, Vio couldn’t endure his curiosity and tried to sit on the bed. The mattress was a bit hard and had no covers, but it was sturdy. He could also smell an herbal fragrance coming from the blanket. Since it at least looked clean, Vio had nothing to complain about.

Vio wondered whether the servants’ beds were always like this. As he patted the cotton pillow with interest, Jill carried a trunk into the room. He then moved its contents into the closet.

With nothing to do, Vio chatted with Jill. “This is a good room.”

“The rooms in our mansion in Leca town are better.”

“But at least it’s clean and well-furnished. There are also windows here, so the room is bright and well-ventilated.”

“Hmm, and it’s nice to see that there’s a roof, walls, and a floor as well,” Jill retorted.

Vio clapped his hands and laughed. “Yes, yes, that’s right. I like that.”

Jill laughed along as he replied, “Is that so?”

At that moment, Night appeared at the open door, seeming to have heard their laughter from the hallway. “I’m glad you are in a good mood, Lord Violant. I was worried about what I should do if you were dissatisfied with this servant’s room.”

“I don’t mind as long as the room is clean. Ah, but a secure, locked room and good tea are a must. I’m satisfied as long as I have those two things. Nothing beats peace and calmness.”

Vio’s reply stunned Night. “That’s… You’re right. It’s just as you said. ”

“I like this room so you don’t have to worry about me. Please focus on your other duties.”

“Thank you for your concern. Please let me know if you have any problems.”

“Thank you, but I’m fine. I have a good butler here.” Vio shot Jill a playful glance. As Jill chuckled and bowed, Night watched their exchange with a smile. Afterward, he also bowed and left the room.
