After several minutes, we arrived at a place that was a bit disconnected from the area where the nobles reside.
In a mansion, where dozens of people can live comfortably, there was a well-kept large garden. Although the other nobles’ houses were luxurious, this one was on a different level.
“My family usually lives in the castle, but right now Ane-sama is resting here, ever since she got sick.” (Reese)
“Since this matter is not known by the public, is there an order to prevent the spread of the news for the time being?” (Sirius)
“That’s right. Since the talk about the engagement has appeared, these ominous news are covered up.” (Reese)
As we got off from the horse carriage, while listening to Reese’s explanations, we saw several men and women come out from the mansion and head in our direction. They wore something resembling a maid dress and a butler tailcoat, so I understood that they were servants of this mansion.
“Welcome back, Reese-sama. Who on earth are these people?” (??)
A young woman in a maid dress, who seemed to be the representative of the servants, lowered her head at Reese and looked at us. This person was a rabbit beastkin, she had sharp ears on her head and a round tail on her butt.
She was a good looking woman, but she didn’t seem like a normal servant with those sharp eyes. There is no mistake that she she gives off a feeling of being experienced in battles. Perhaps, if I tried to harm Reese, she would take my life without hesitation.
Reese introduced us in hurry since she was being careful with us who came along with her.
“I’m back, Senia. These people here are my friends…” (Reese) (TLN: The name in raw is セニア)
“Faeris-sama! Where have you been?” (??)
But, one man interrupted her.
The young man wore blue color light armor and a sword with gorgeous decorations. I imagine him being part of the Imperial Guards for the king.
I could see an energetic young man, but he was looking here severely. No… from what I could tell he was looking at Emilia and Reus?
“Besides, why on earth are you leading these two beastkin here!? Even though the princess is in such a situation!” (??)
“Silence, Melt.” (Senia) (TLN: The name in raw is メルト)
“Say what!?” (Melt)
“Reese-sama can’t talk if you are talking. By the way, I am the superior here. So, who are you, to disturb explanation from the younger sister of Lifell-sama, Reese-sama!?” (Senia)
“Kuhh…” (Melt)
The rabbit-kin, Senia, was apparently his superior. The man called Melt withdrew to the back, while being annoyed. Since the gloomy mood was dissipated, Senia gave an indication for Reese to continue.
“Err… These are my friends, Emilia and Reus. And this is their master, Sirius-san.” (Reese)
“Nice to meet you, my name is Sirius.” (Sirius)
“My name is Emilia.” (Emilia)
“I am Reus.” (Reus)
The maids, including Senia, were surprised when we greeted with Kaa-san’s trademark bow. Displaying courtesy seemed to have an effect, because their cautiousness lessened a bit. As one would expect from Kaa-san’s technique.
“This is a very courteous of you. My name is Senia, I am a special attendant for Lifell-sama. Since you are Reese-sama’s friends, we welcome all of you.” (Senia)
When Senia greeted us with same level of greeting as ours, several maids and butlers at the back bowed. It looked like there were factions among them, since not everyone bowed, but let’s leave this matter behind for now.
“I’m sorry, Senia. Although I wanted to take more time introducing them, I want these three to meet Ane-sama as soon as possible.” (Reese)
