It was shortly after the two entered the mansion. An unknown old man was standing in the lobby. It was clear that the black suit resembling the swallow's tail was a butler, but it is a face that she didn't recognise.

As Kyrie stood with a surprised look, the old man approached with a very welcome face.

"Hello. It's a great pleasure to meet you. I'm Debbie Holt, who managed the mansion while you were away."

Kyrie, who didn't think there would be a person, was embarrassed and became serious.

"First of all, nice to meet you. I'm Kyrie. But you managed the mansion?"

"Maybe the mansion will be ruined quickly if no one lives."

It seems that Laura and Maria were also aware that she would not enter this house immediately. Kyrie smiled a little.

"Now that I see it, you..... You look quite familiar."

Debbie smiled happily.

"Do you remember? I've seen the Lord Protector several times at the FortDucane mansion when you were young."

Kyrie fumbled over her memory. It was only then that the butler with a strict face that she saw at the mansion came to mind. He seems to have changed his impression so much that she didn't recognize it.

She said as if she was a little sad.

"Well, what should I do? I didn't mean to hire anyone."

It was Nathaniel, not Debbie, who was startled by Kyrie's words. Nathaniel, who looked like a boy because his eyes were wide open, opened his mouth.

[You are not going to have a butler?]

"Yes, I wasn't going to...... Do you need it?"

[Why?]

"I don't think you need it"

Nathaniel narrowed his eyes as if he was surprised.

[Who will serve while taking bath?]

"I can do magic."

[Cooking.]

"Let's learn."

[Serving guests and preparing a carriage?]

".....Magic?"

Nathaniel got serious.

[Kyrie. You must have broken your head due to water pressure.]

That's not true...... Nathaniel's expression was unusual to answer that. Kyrie certainly recognized that he was a noble to the bone. She thought he would be surprised and scared if she told him that she thought about farming herself.

"But if there are a lot of people...."

[No way. Don't you think I came up to see something like that?]

Kyrie looked back at Debbie with a difficult face. Will he voluntarily return?

"Holt. If you're coming down here because of this, should I talk to Fort Ducane again?"

Debbie, who was listening quietly to the conversation between the two, raised his eyebrows and smiled nicely.

"It's not like that. This is my wife's hometown. I've been working as a butler for the FortDucane family for a long time, and my wife got sick and quit her job."

"Where is your wife?"

"She went back to the high place."
