The Duke’s Daughter Is the Knight Captain’s (62) Young Wife

Chapter 16



Lunch

Me and Master Wilhelm were touring the movements of the Knights for the time being.

From the first battle, which he said was training for a mixed war, he could see the next moves in daily training, such as a shielded interception, against an undisturbed assault by all, and an intense assault of momentum.

I’m sure if I were in that, I’d be lightly dead.

I was excited, as if to admire the opera.

I may sound like a woman who lacks character, but that’s all that was so compelling.

Rather, it’s not about acting like an opera, it’s about real training. Maybe that leads to force.

I guess it’s because such a powerful knighthood is protecting our country that we have our lives.

While I was doing that, I made a noise that my stomach was pounding.

Apparently, lunch is already close.

“It’s noon already. It’s time for the crew to go on lunch break. Let’s just say they disperse.”

“What will you do for lunch?

“For once, there’s a dining room… but I don’t really want to go”

I thought there was probably a cafeteria on all this property and letting this many knights train.

But you don’t really want to go. Doesn’t it taste so good?

If it’s not delicious, I don’t think it’s paying off to the knights who are so heavily trained for defense.

“It’s not about the taste.”

But my such thoughts were so denied by Master Wilhelm.

And, Pompom, and Master Wilhelm smack me in the head lightly. I feel like I’m being treated like a child, but I’m happy, so I’m in trouble.

“Non is the Knights Commander.”

“Yes, I know.”

“As one who heads the Knights, it must be tough on the bottom. Of course, I know we have a lot of trust from them… but you wouldn’t want to have a table with us.”

“… what do you mean, it is?

No way, does Master Wilhelm hate you?

If you’re tough for sure, you might hate it. But the harshness of it is what comes out of it, considering the other person. Anyone who hates it that way is wrong as a person.

“When the Knights are present, they will not rest in peace. A place to rest must be a place to rest. There, there’s no need for a superior. I’m trying not to use the cafeteria against officers.”

I see, and I nodded.

Try it on me, it would be like having a teacher on the side of a break at school. Sure, then I don’t really feel comfortable resting. I don’t know when or what they’ll say.

“So what do you usually do for lunch?

“Um… I’m not usually hungry, and I don’t eat.”

“Well!”

You shouldn’t do that.

Taking three meals in the morning, noon and evening is important for your health. Draining one meal only increases the burden on your body.

I want Master Wilhelm to stay magnificent forever, and we should encourage him to improve his life here.

“Master Wilhelm, please join us for lunch”

“But…”

“I’m worried about Master Wilhelm. Even if you are magnificent, the disease doesn’t know where to crawl from. It’s important to improve your lifestyle.”

This is your grandfather’s teaching.

If you were Wilhelm, your grandfather’s best friend, you would understand.

Most importantly, it worries me.

“Now, even where we can eat nearby…”

“There’s not a lot of places like that around here. Besides, close proximity can lead to knights who are really tired of eating rooms. That’s why I try not to show my face there either”

“Well…”

So what do I do?

If this happens, it may be a good idea to go with Master Wilhelm to my mansion and ask Chris to cook lunch.

“Lady.”

“What’s up, Natalia”

“I’m keeping my lunch from Chris, wondering if this could happen.”

Well.

What a servant of the Ambrose family, there are many people who can.

Rather, it must be bad that I didn’t take into account for lunch when I said I would interrupt the Knights all day. This is really, thank you for Natalia’s drive.

“Thank you, Natalia”

“Ha. I water your speech with Master Wilhelm, and I’m sorry”

“Well, you don’t have to be so frightened of Noun, Lord Natalia. Earlier I said I made a rude mistake…”

“No. Master Wilhelm is the one who will be your daughter’s companion. Then it will be my husband, too. Unless you disagree with your daughter, I will obey as a samurai.”

Natalia is a good samurai, but it’s hard to be a little stiff.

Master Wilhelm is also confused.

“So, Master Wilhelm, is there somewhere good for lunch?

“… Hmm. It’s been a long time since I’ve been on the roof.”

“Rooftop!”

That’s great.

Even at school, eating together on the roof, I admired that. In the end, my closest friend couldn’t be with you because he refused without saying, “It’s a hassle to get to the roof.”

I mean, I’m the first rooftop dinner. It’s my first time.

With Master Wilhelm for my first time, that’s all my cheeks are hot.

“Okay, let’s go. Are there no other knights on the roof?

“Oh. I only have the keys to the rooftop.”

Excellent. That’s exactly what we’re talking about alone. Natalia is here, though.

Speaking of which, what will you do with Natalia’s meal?

“Don’t worry, ma’am”

“Huh.”

“My meal, again, has been prepared separately. Your basket is only for Lady Wilhelm and the lady. I will eat away for a little while.”

I wonder why.

You’re afraid your servant is too good.

For one thing, me and Master Wilhelm, and Natalia, are headed to the roof.

The Knights rooftop, which is not very tall for its large grounds, is nevertheless on the third floor. We ascended on the stairs, and we finally got there.

I’m the only one who’s out of breath.

Dear Wilhelm, the stride is huge……

You cared more than you did on the way, but by then I was already out of breath.

You’re sad about your lack of strength.

“Shall we make it around here?”

“Yes, Master Wilhelm”

Spread the cloth Natalia had brought and sit alongside Master Wilhelm. Master Wilhelm, who occupies more than half of the cloth by himself, is still huge.

When I opened the basket, what was in there was a colorful sandwich.

I love it too, it’s Chris’ sandwich.

“Please, have it. Our cook made it.”

“Here you go, sorry.”

“No. Not at all.”

That’s what I say, too, but I’ll go over the sandwich. I knew Chris’s food was delicious.

The perfect balance of salting and subtraction is very unimaginable.

“Hmm, delicious”

“Isn’t it? Chris is a good cook.”

“Previously, when I was called to a home party, I thought it was a delicious dish… haven’t the cooks changed?

“Yes, I wasn’t the head chef yet at the time,”

“Hmm. You haven’t looked at me in a long time. Since when do you not show your face…”

“Four years, three months and eleven days.”

I remember every day I was looking for a day I couldn’t see you, and I said the last day you were there.

I was counting, properly.

Master Wilhelm was slightly relieved, and then, he nodded small.

“… so much, you weren’t there”

“Yes. Um… Dear Wilhelm, I have a suggestion for you”

I say that to Master Wilhelm, suppressing the occasional heartbeat.

I want a connection somewhere. If I stay like this, I will not see Master Wilhelm again for days beyond today.

Then at least I want a connection here.

“Starting tomorrow…… May I bring lunch to Master Wilhelm?

At least, at noon.

I want to have this comfortable time.
