The city of Breuland, in the southern part of the Kingdom of Egelea.

This fortress city ruled by the Duke of Bruu was the first city Jin visited of his own volition.

There he met a red-haired girl named Beena. He met her, who was also a magecraftsman, and spent some time helping her with her business in the suburbs of Breuland.

Eventually, Jin overcame Count Galana's harassment and they parted ways.

Later, Jin revisited the city with Reinhardt and his party, and went to Asunto, the capital of Egelea, with Count Kuzma, Bina, and others, and attended the Golem garden party held there.

At the party, Count Kuzma asked Bina to marry him. Bina accepted his proposal.

She said, "No, don't pick up the hem of your skirt so much.

"Yes."

The answer was a short "yes"!

"...... yes."

Bina was now training in good manners.

In the Kingdom of Egelea, the most influential members of the local nobility participate in the national government.

It is customary for them to go to the royal capital for three months a year to fulfill their roles.

Count Kuzma was scheduled to go to the capital from April to June of this year. However, due to the national uprising that took place in April, the capital did not function properly in April, so his term of office effectively lasted for two months in May and June.

In case you are wondering, Count Galana has not yet achieved enough success to participate in the national government.

"No, sir!　When you drink a tête-à-tête, you hold the saucer with your left hand.

"...... Yes."

"Oh my God, you should pick the cup instead of holding it!"

"...... yes."

The woman who instructs Bina in the strictest terms is the head chambermaid, Marm. She is in her late thirties and is an old-timer who has served Count Kuzma's family since the present Count Kuzma was a ...... child.

Despite her usual calm atmosphere, she is very strict in her instruction to Bina.

"Don't put the cup down so noisily!"

"...... yes."

Beena was patiently receiving the instruction.

"......Oh, I'm tired......"

At night, Beena returns to her room and throws herself onto her bed.

"Sis, are you okay?"

a worried voice comes from the next room. It is her younger brother, Lardo.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just tired. You're tired, too, aren't you?

"We're fine."

Since the sale of the popcorn machine to Count Galana, there has been an outcry among the common people for its resale, so Count Kuzma has had the popcorn machine made by Beena.

Bina's younger siblings, Nana and Lardo, were selling the popcorn.

"We sold all the popcorn today, too.

The two are still small enough to do the job, since they have publicly stated that they are backed by Count Kuzma.

But since making popcorn is easy with a popcorn machine, the only thing left to do is manage sales and revenue.

Since it is too heavy for the two of them to carry the tables and equipment for selling popcorn, they are escorted daily by a maid of honor, a butler, and private soldiers from the Count's family.

Thanks to this, there were no troubles and the company made a good amount of sales every day.

In fact, the sales are less than the daily wages of the attendants, but this is not a problem since this is a service that Count Kuzma provides to the people of his domain.

In addition, the Count, who is in love with Bina, has allowed her to accompany him because he does not want anything to happen to her younger siblings.

"It's only been five days, but I've made a new friend and I'm enjoying every day.

"Well, that's great."

I started selling popcorn with Hitoshi. Many customers came to the store, attracted by the lingering taste, and I have fond memories of them buying lighters and water heaters that we sold at the same time.

"...... It's only been about four months."

About a month later, I met Jin again, and I have fond memories of being invited to his base and home in Kunlun Island.

"Jin, I wonder what you are doing now."

"No, sir!

"No, sir!　Step more lightly, and do not lift your sole almost off the floor. You'll step on his foot.

Yes.

Yes, that's good. And then there's eye contact. Don't look at his feet, but at his chest.

Yes.

It was a dance rehearsal. Bina was not only athletic, but she swallowed much more easily than her manners.

We practiced for about an hour that day.

"Clean more quietly!　You'll get dusty!"

After the dance practice, the next lesson was on cleaning.

"You can't say that you can't clean because you are a nobleman. It will bring your husband's reputation into disrepute.

In the absence of a butler or a lady-in-waiting, the wife must take care of everything for her husband. Therefore, she must be able to handle all the household chores at a high level, Marm said.

Bina, who was rather impatient, had the hardest time with this cleaning instruction.

"Yes, turn it over there!　...... Oh, no, you can't do it so forcefully.　...... you see, it's misshapen."

After the cleaning instruction, it's time for the cooking. Beena is now making a plain omelette. It is a deep dish.

Whatever she fails to make goes into the mouths of the servants (with the proviso that it is ready to eat).

They are woken up at 6:00 in the morning and practice, practice, practice until 8:00 at night.

Even young Bina is exhausted.

At the end of the day, they were allowed to take a bath, which was also considered part of the practice.

"In the bathroom, you may join other ladies of the nobility. You must cover your front with a towel, be aware of your surroundings when pouring hot water on your body, and avoid splashing hot water on others.

"Yes, ......"

"Do not flaunt yourself in the bathtub. When getting in and out of the bathtub, be careful not to splash hot water on others.

"Yes ......"

Bina, who was supposed to be taking a bath to get rid of her fatigue, felt even more tired.

"Oh, I'm so tired. ......

Beena is tempted to think that she will soon be instructed on how to sleep as well.

And then it came true.

"Listen, in the bedroom, you must not sleep before your husband. After your husband is on the floor, you must say <> and lie down.

"......"

Bina was on the verge of snapping when she was told how to sleep.

However, she managed to hold it together that day and returned to her room.

In her room, there was a letter from the Count on the table.

Count Kuzma sent a letter to Bina once a week from King's Landing.

How are you doing? I am busy reviewing the annual budget of the kingdom.

With the recent incident at the Golem party and the Unification Party (Unifiler) uproar, the internal situation is very difficult.

...... first introduced his daily life and then described various events in the royal capital.

<<

I am also looking forward to the day when I will be able to see Bina, and I am doing my daily hard work.

Take care of yourself.

With love from the capital city of Asunto. Luis Urz Kuzma>>

"...... wind"

In the box by Bina's bedside, there is a bundle of letters like this one.

Whenever she has a hard time, when she is sad, or when she feels bad, she reads them again to cheer herself up.

But the most joyful thing of all was to read the letters that had just arrived.

"......, I will do my best again tomorrow."

Bina said to herself and went to sleep.
