A few days after their discussion, Wallace brought his son to Duke Sjogren’s mansion.
「Eseria-sama, this is my son Milan. Please take care of him from now on.」
「Nice to meet you Milan.」
「Nice to meet you Eseria. Please let me tell you various stories.」
Eseria smiled and nodded as Milan bowed before her. Wallace, who’s watching over them, felt relieved.
「Then, I’ll talk to Cartas-dono so please excuse me. I have told my son to go home after he finished telling stories to Eseria-sama.」
「Yeah, thank you for your hard work.」
When Eseria nodded and gave him permission to leave, Wallace bowed lightly and left. Then, one of the two maids standing near the door follows him out while the other one stays in the room.
(Fuun? As expected of a noble princess. She wouldn’t want to be alone with a commoner.)
When he was thinking something that ironic, Eseria picked up the paper placed on the table and placed it between them.
「Then, Milan. Quick, there’s something I want you to see. I want a third party’s honest opinion.」
「Yes, I….I’ll take a look.」
After accidentally responding in his casual tone, Milan quickly changed into polite language and nodded. He put his gaze on the paper as if to escape from awkwardness. At first, he was confused with the unfamiliar drawings he’s looking at.
「This is….」
「I’ll explain to you how to use it. Listen while reading. Ehto….do you know how to read?」
「…yes, I can desu」
(Do I look like an idiot!? However, this is…..)
Milan was infuriated in his heart but immediately focused his attention on the document on his hand.
「How is it?」
After her brief explanation, Eseria asked for Milan’s impression. Milan raised his face and expressed his opinion openly.
「I think it is quite interesting. It is similar to a novel and the way it was utilized is good. Is this the new prototype?」
「Yeah.」
(She is indeed an extraordinary person.)
Eseria smiled in relief while Milan smiled at her back. However, Eseria changed the topic there.
「Come to think of it….aside from this, there’s something I want to ask you.」
「What is it? I(boku), no, I(watashi) will answer to the best of my ability.」
「From what I heard from Wallace last time, though I’m just curious, I have completely forgotten to ask others about it. When commoners want to borrow money, who do they usually borrow from?」
「Yes?」
「Does money lending business not exist?」
