It was a calm day.
The prince of the Maillard Kingdom was allowed to stay in Barthelemy for an indefinite period of time, officially approved by King Barthelemy.
But as before, Fernand who spends most of his day in his office, sighs deeply with his paperwork.
"Is it another job?"
In the words of his royal brother, Colonel Brundle, who is an abundant subordinate, made a sarcastic smile on his desk with a document in his hand.
"Yes, it's time to officially come up from Court"
Fernand stood up with a big smile.
"I did it?"
"What is that?"
"Don't flirt, This will finally free you from this annoying life. What is your request?"
The colonel handed me an informal document that consisted of several sheets of paper.
"It is a survey by Icatera, an eastern country. Although it is ostensibly a neutral nation, there is a possibility that he may have contributed by throwing weapons to Maillard Kingdom in the previous war."
"First, it's about the formation of the intelligence unit. Keep an eye on humans who could be used by the day after tomorrow. I'll have a day off tomorrow."
By saying that, Fernand who had just begun to return home soon, said, "I'm sorry" the colonel shook his shoulders and neck as he wrote his documents every day.
"A brief break?"
"It's not that simple"
Fernand gave a complex smile on no one.
It dates back before Fernand went to work this morning.
As usual, when the prince arrived at the breakfast table, Fernand sitting next to him said a strange thing.
"Prince, what do you want?"
"things I want?"
The prince looked down at his plate, I can't eat any more.
"It's not about food."
Fernand laughed, the prince shut his mouth.
"I don't want anything."
"No, so... it means books, sweets, clothes, and so on."
The prince was more puzzled and frowned, and he took off his napkin from his neck and stood up from his seat. With all that, Fernand had no clue what he was trying to say to the prince.
"I don't want anything."
Despite repeating the same words as before, Fernand somehow persistently ask.
"Why don't you say something like that?
"Are you spoiled? What does it have to do with what you want?"
Fernand shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Actually, this is the calling of His Highness."
"Your Highness?"
Fernand gently touched the prince's cheeks with his head tilted.
"I want to give a gift to the prince."
"...But"
"It doesn't have to be a thing. For example, if you want to go out to play in the town, I would like to accompany you..."
"in that case"
The prince was a little hesitant, and whispered gently to Fernand's ears, who stretched out and bent over.
"If so, please ask Fernand to give me a break."
"eh ?"
Fernand had a startled look, looking down at the prince's face again.
"Fernand, he seems to be busy with his work all the time, so at least I'll do nothing for a day and give him a rest... Uh?"
Fernand hugged him so tightly that the prince made his eyes roll back.
"Now, I'm going to take a day off tomorrow. Let's spend all day together tomorrow."
"It's no good"
Fernand's sweet suggestion, however was simply dismissed by the prince.
"It doesn't make sense to take a day off, Fernand's day off isn't taken care of too."
