"Good morning, Sir," Head Maid Leona greeted with a few maids coming to clean Russell's room.
The quality of the maids was concerning, but Russell had gotten used to them and found their presence rather comforting.
Especially when Leona bent over to tidy up the bed, her pert posterior always involuntarily drew Russell's respect, given his vigorous youth.
"Good morning," Russell replied, as he dressed in practice attire with the help of his personal servant, Ram, and then strode downstairs.
After a self-serve breakfast, he began his morning knight training on the front lawn.
The snow on the lawn had been cleared away by the servants early on, and someone was already training there—it was Phantom Beast Knight Katie. Sworn to never marry, she had been appointed as the Territory Patrol Knight Captain and relied on Russell for food and accommodation.
"Good morning, Sir," Katie immediately stopped training and bowed to Russell upon seeing him come out.
