The Girl Plans

    That morning, in front of the palace door, many girls were gathering, they were waiting for someone. Once – people know that they are in the protection of Veroa, no one dares to make trouble with them. To still go to the palace courtyard alone, the palace guards immediately let him in.

    When Veroa opened the door, she was a little surprised, but immediately smiled to greet them. Incidentally, the palace chef was preparing a dish for breakfast. So, he allowed the girls to go to the dining room, invited them to have breakfast together.

    The girls, did not feel awkward, unlike most people when faced with a noble or important figure of the world. As his nickname was to them, independent residents, they were not very understanding of such behavior. That is, they have until now been ordinary, but still respect Veroa as their savior.

    When eating, it seems like the girls also have ethics related to it, all focusing on the food they are eating. There was no sound during their meal, only the sound of a spoon clashing with a plate or knife cutting the meat into the base. Usually, some servants only watched the nobles eat, but Veroa told them to eat, at least if they felt uncomfortable eating with his master, they could retreat and eat in the kitchen. That's how Veroa, so much different from other nobles, even his own family did not behave like that.

    After breakfast, Veroa began the conversation. He opened the topic by discussing light things first, joking a little too, then continued with the main discussion.

    “By the way, did those guards treat you well?” he looked at the faces of the girls one by one. When asked like that, there is no expression that will make people – people who see it can guess that they are treated badly, and vice versa.

    “They are very good really, Tuan” one of the girls raised his voice, not Yuyue Wulan who previously only she raised her voice.

    “True sir. They even took us around, introducing us to – people around that we are in the protection of Tuan” another added.

    “They also treat us snacks...’

    Hearing them speak of a good experience yesterday, Veroa was relieved and proud of the initiative of the two guards who yesterday bothered to drive them around and treat snacks. In fact, he only asked them to take care of the identity of the girls.

    “I have to give them a gift..” while hearing the babble of the girls, Veroa thought of something else. He thought, what gifts are worth, that they will receive and make them happy, so that they do not feel ignored. Goods might run out, a promotion would make them happy? As far as he was a duke, he felt ordinary. Which makes him feel happy when he gets a degree from a system that has a certain extraordinary effect. As for items, he thought so far the reward from the system had always been outstanding. But, does he have an item equivalent to the gift giving from the system? Maybe one or two things are hard to find and get. As for skills, were they interested in sword training that was directly guided by him? Not swordsmanship in general, but a sword that uses a katana. “I guess, it's not a bad idea” murmured, not clearly heard by the girls, but they just stared at Veroa in confusion.

    Realizing himself to be the center of attention due to his own muttering, he turned their attention by changing the subject.

    “Oh yes, have you decided to take what profession? Or at least, in the near future, what plans will you do?”

    “What are your plans?” ask the girls who would have planned what they would have done in the future. Veroa did not mean anything, but he felt he had to take responsibility for their survival. By asking questions like that, he hoped that if they had any difficulty while carrying out his plan, he could help them. It was only a form of concern for the victims of goblin attacks, as well as a form of compensation for being late to save their village.

    Simultaneously, as if their hearts and minds were one, they said almost simultaneously “We want to be Tuan”'s personal servant. After all, they looked at each other, seemingly not expecting that their plans were the same.

    “Try one-on-one to give the reason, starting from kamu” Veroa can only shake his head with a smile before asking, starting with, then point to a girl who is at the end of the table on the left to get the first turn to tell the reason.

    “Say people – people, Master was very great at a young age, moreover I did not expect that the age of the Master is the same age as our average age. So, who knows, by becoming your personal servant, I can steal your manhood, it would be good if you were a virgin. Hihi...” the reason the girl who looks innocent, surprised Veroa until her breath was held, she was fooled by her appearance which turned out to be quite violent from the word – he said.

    The turn tells the reason for the plan to proceed to another girl who has the same plan. Unexpectedly, the reasons were similar, but the eventual desire was different, as just to repay his kindness, to serve, there were also those who tried their luck to gain Veroa's heart.

    During listening to their – reasons reason, Veroa smiled. He did not expect, he was that popular among women. But, his heart had something that made the cage walled, it was unlikely that the other party could open the cage and avert the gaze of his heart.

    “Wow...” is so honored, he can not say the word – words, more precisely he feels confused, how to respond to it. Then, he said “Your reasons really impressed me. But, is it not too much if you all become my personal servants?”

    They looked at each other, then one of the girls suggested, “How about we change the schedule to serve Mr?”

    Intentionally, by asking that, he could subtly refuse their request, as he was not used to having a personal servant yet. Now, the situation is getting worse. He finally agreed, as there was no reason to refuse them to be his personal servants.

    The other – girls seem to have decided what they will do. One by one they told him. Some want to be tailors, restaurant waiters, and others. But, from their faces looks a little disappointment, I don't know what it is. For Yuyue Wulan herself, she was previously an adventurer, but it was quite surprising that she volunteered to be her personal guard.

    At the end, Veroa could only wipe her tense face after facing off against a dozen girls.
