Princess Charlotte says:
"This camper van truly is an unknown treasure trove. Like entering another world!"
Well... it's another world's technology.
Yuleila-san says:
"Not just technology, but wonderful performance too. Clear sound, smooth melody. I'm entranced."
"Right! This is—ah, sorry."
Aristy starts speaking but immediately apologizes and falls silent.
Probably deciding a servant shouldn't intrude on their master's conversation.
Noticing this, Her Highness says:
"That's fine. Please continue."
"No, but..."
"Since four of us are here, join our conversation for more enjoyment. Please speak freely."
Aristy looks at me.
I quietly nod, permitting conversation.
Aristy says:
"Then taking you up... actually, Lady Erine performed this."
Yuleila-san says:
"Oh. Erine-dono performed this... I heard Blangier was a military family, but musical education seems rich too."
Aristy answers:
"No. This performance is unrelated to Blangier. Lady developed this unique instrument called piano."
"Piano... I see. No wonder the tone is unfamiliar."
Princess Charlotte understands.
Aristy says:
"Lady not only performs piano but has singing voice recognized even by cathedral choirs. Especially singing while playing is truly magnificent..."
"What is 'singing while playing'?"
"Singing while playing piano... a style Lady uniquely developed."
Well, I didn't develop it.
Yuleila-san says:
"Like minstrels singing with harps? Very interesting."
"Lady's singing while playing is tearfully wonderful. Please listen next time! You'll surely like it!"
Aristy grows heated.
Since Aristy truly likes singing while playing...
Though permitting conversation, letting her talk further might cause rampage.
Let's change topics.
"Speaking of which, knowing Princess Charlotte is princess, what's Yuleila-san's status?"
"...Come to think of it, we haven't discussed that. I'm the princess's direct knight. Royal Guard Captain."
I see...
Royal Guard Captain.
Naturally follows the princess constantly.
Even among knight peers, royal knights have lower noble-level influence.
Their captains hold positions comparable to marquises or dukes.
I say:
"I suspected, but your status is quite high. Should I call you Yuleila-sama henceforth?"
"No. Since Erine-dono becomes Her Highness's guest temporarily, current address suffices. Just be careful in public."
"Understood. Publicly Yuleila-sama, privately Yuleila-san."
"That's acceptable."
We enjoy quiet conversation while eating tea cakes and listening to music.
