The Hard Work Will Never Betray Me

CH 7

"Good day to you."

I watched a true princess and became very stiff. In this life, I am a true noble, but in me I am only a young virgin of the common people.

The welcome I had prepared was thrown out of my mind, and I showed a face that no noble could read.

“Welcome Your Majesty. It's been a long time since I've seen you, so it's a great honor to see you here.

“I am happy to see you in good health, General North. Because people are amazing like you, we can sleep with a high pillow.”

"What did you say? My work is only possible because of the Duke's strong support. ”

"Haha, you're too humble, Mr. Farenheit. And this is you legitimate son, Eberhard, right?”

Just as I thought the old men were exchanging greetings with their aristocratic talk (they seemed to get along well enough with each other to call it social etiquette, so they might mean it), she said, contradictions come to my mind.

"Yes, this is my eldest son, Eberhard. , Eberhard, and I'm so glad you care about him, even though he's not perfect ”.

“I've heard that he's quite brilliant at such a young age. Whenever I hear gossip about him through social gatherings, I am always impressed by the fact that he is the son of Lord Farenheit.”

"You're too good to say it."

“It would be better to greet him. I'm sure you'll be familiar. You can't stay dazed forever."

“The first time we met, I was the son of Karlheinz Klaus von Fahrenheit, Eberhard Karlheinz von Flensburg Fahrenheit. I'm still in my infancy, but I look forward to working with you.”

“Alright, I'm Lagarde von Bernstein, head Duke of Bernstein, located next to your father's border area.I'm glad to have become acquainted with a young man with a promising future like you.”

"You're so good at saying it."

I'm sure the language is fine now! I don't know how great a duke is, but his aura is clearly different! I feel my father is great as a general, but Duke is even greater. Well, he looks ten years older than my father, so I guess the difference is because of his age.

Then the duke called his daughter who was waiting behind him.

"Lily, come here."

"Yes, dad."

The girl named Lily walked in front of us, bowed gracefully and said in a beautiful voice like a bell ringing.

“I Henriette Lily von Bernstein. I am the eldest daughter of Duke Bernstein.”

"Thank you for your kindness. I look forward to working with you.”

"It's nice to meet you."

I don't know what to say in this situation. What should I say to the Duke? But she is a six-year-old girl, the same age as me. It would not shorten the distance between us even if I returned the greeting in a strange and complicated manner. And moreover, she might be my bride-to-be.I think it would make a better impression if I was friendly. That's why I dare to answer gently. ……

"Hmmm…"

What came back was an indescribable laugh.I don't know if I succeeded or failed.

Seeing us like that, His Highness Duke opened his mouth.

"Now, we have something important to discuss. And you two should go and have fun together.”

Suddenly I was faced with a difficult problem. Do you want me to be alone with a girl?

"Is it okay if I don't have a bodyguard?"

Good help, old man.I'm not sure I can have a conversation without at least mixing with Arisa or one of the maids.

“This is your home, isn't it? Then there is no danger. Or do you feel uncomfortable being alone with me?

"Uh huh".

"I know, Uncle."

"Let's go, then."

“Yes, come."

…… It seems like it is the dowries who think more positively about this engagement.

✳︎

“So, let's go, okay?”

"Where are we going? ”

I turned to Lily with cold sweat on my back, pushing myself with all my might inside.

This was the first time I had seen her up close and personal, and she was so beautiful and beautiful that I could not believe she was from this world.

”The park we saw on the way here is very beautiful, I want to look around again.”

Whahuh? A beautiful voice that sounded like a rolling bell was still there, but the tone of his voice had changed.

“Hmmm, that's just the way I talk to people. My father gave me a lot of persuasion to study it better.

"I think we're all the same when it comes to learning manners."

I was surprised because I thought the Count would be stronger and scarier, but you are a sweet boy.

"cute?"

"May I call you Eberhard?”

"Hal ok. Can I call you Lily?"

"Yes, sure. It's funny."

"Don't say sweet to a man. ..." Inner Hal.

Not too bad if said by a relative aunt, but if said by a girl of the same age (six years!) that's a little pathetic. I'd rather a girl say, You're so cool! ! It seems that my baby's face was from my mother that I didn't want.

Anyway, I'm glad he's more honest than I expected. I'll get in trouble if he continues in long-distance mode.

 There is much more to show in the park. I've been walking around the park a lot since I was a baby with my mom, and since I can do a lot on my own, I've built a lot of secret bases in the backyard!

No matter how old a man was, he had always liked secret bases and things like that. It's nice that I'm a kid now, so I can play like that without a doubt. I want to show Lily the beauty of my secret headquarters. And maybe we can build our own headquarters together!

"Can we go?"

Inevitably I reached out, as I did when I walked with my brother and sister (my sister was still a baby and could not walk). It's like a date, isn't it?

I was very nervous, but I couldn't pull it back now that I had stretched out my hand, so I put on a delicate face and started to stiffen again with half-open hands, a situation I didn't understand.

"Let's go!

Fortunately, for me Lily, who was a child, holding hands with a man did not seem like a serious event. He clasped my hand back in a normal way and wrapped his tender hand in mine with the high body temperature characteristics of a child. She's sweet.

I was a little nervous, even though I was over 20 years old inside. Do I smell like a criminal? It's okay, I'm the same age as you!
