Chapter 243: The Dining Table with the PrincessAfter that, for a while, Urza and Nagisa were cooing in the room.
Meanwhile, Aeris seemed to be handling the reception of two guests, Ciel and Electra, who had come to the mansion. When I met at the dinner table, Aeris had a somewhat tired expression and welcomed me.
"...Seems like you had a lot of fun without me. Leaving me out."
"Isn't it the lady's job to attend to the guests? If you claim to be my wife, you should endure it."
"Yes, that's right... I am Zenon-sama's wife, the legal wife..."
Easy. I thought about what would happen when Aeris claimed to be my legal wife, but maybe it's fortunate that she can be entrusted with the household chores like this. Electra and Ciel have already arrived at the dinner table, and the two of them greet us.
"Good day, Marquis Baskerville."
"Um... sorry for intruding."
Electra has an elegant smile, but Ciel is tense like a borrowed cat.
"Your Highness Electra... I'm glad you're able to relax."
"Yes, Aeris and everyone here treat me well. I am grateful for their hospitality, even though I visited suddenly."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUntil a while ago, Electra was active in the dungeon, but when she changed into a dress, she exuded nobility from head to toe.
She truly is a genuine princess. She demonstrates a staggering difference in upbringing that surpasses even Aeris.
"By the way... Did you really receive permission for an overnight stay? It would be troublesome if there were suspicions of the princess being kidnapped."
"Of course. My father said it was fine as long as it's the Marquis Baskerville."
"I see... That's fortunate."
Honestly, I want her to return to the royal castle. It's bothersome to have a princess at home. What is the old fox... I mean, the king, thinking? I have no idea.
"Well, it's fine. I can't guarantee if it will suit Your Highness's taste... but please enjoy the dinner."
"Yes, I will have a great time."
After waiting for a while, the maids Levienna and Anemone brought the food.
Monica is not here.
It seems that she deliberately decided not to appear here to avoid disrespecting the royal family.
"Well, it looks delicious."
The dinner menu consists of lamb sauté, corn soup, steamed potatoes, and Caesar salad.
For dessert, there are pancakes with honey collected from Leon's hometown forest.
"These potatoes here are soft and delicious. They have a simple taste, don't they?"
Surprisingly, Electra seemed to like the steamed potatoes the most.
It seems that the taste of commoners, which is not served in the palace, actually pleased her.
The person who made that dish was Leon's mother, Anemone, who stands proudly against the wall.
"Our maids are excellent. They all do a great job."
"...But I must apologize to you, Marquis Baskerville."
"What do you mean?"
"I had believed the rumors about you. I truly thought Marquis Baskerville was mistreating his servant staff. When I heard that Aeris had become engaged to you, I was trying to find a way to break it off... but you turned out to be different from the rumors."
Aeris placed the knife and fork down, lifting her head slightly.
"Your appearance may be terrifying, but you are a responsible gentleman. In the dungeon, you showed concern for me and Ciel, and it seems you value your servants as well. I apologize for misunderstanding."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"...Calling my appearance terrifying is unnecessary, you know."
Electra's evaluation is not entirely wrong. Zenon Baskerville used to abuse Levienna, who was once his exclusive servant. He was indeed a villain as the rumors said until 'I' came along.
"Yes, that's right... you sheltered me, showed concern for Leon, you're quite kind-hearted. Baskerville."
While sipping soup with a spoon, Ciel also agreed.
"Coming to my house and asking to stay over, it seems that Ciel's evaluation of me has improved somewhat in this dungeon exploration, huh?"
"Yes, Zenon-sama is very kind."
"And strong too."
"Nom nom, munch munch. Goshujin-sama is the best, desu~no."
"Zenon-bocchama is an amazing person. The ideal master."
Aeris, Nagisa, Urza, and Levienna shower me with praise one after another. It's annoying to be treated like a bad person, but it's also embarrassing to be praised like this.
"Hehehe..."
Anemone watches us with a smile that makes me uncomfortable.
Now that I think about it... I'm the only man here. Everyone else is a woman. And... except for Urza, all of these girls were taken advantage of by Zenon Baskerville in the game using despicable means.
"So this is the force of the game..."
In the end, I feel like I've ended up stealing the heroines.
I delivered the dish with a taste I couldn't understand, and thus finished an awkward dinner.
