It was also a way of judging the reaction of the Mikoshiba duchy’s side. Bethina could get a feel for their intentions from how they acted.

What I fear most is that His Excellence Archduke Mikoshiba is already waiting. In that case...

Like the saying went, “The hero always arrives late,” people with a higher rank often arrived later than their guests. However, there were times they did the exact opposite of that. For example, a company president was already seated in the conference room when a meeting occurred at an office. Simply put, it was a form of harassment used to find fault with others.

Will I be met with cynicism or disdain?

Naturally, Bethina didn’t think she would get such a clear response. The quality of a noble’s servants typically represented their status and intentions. If a guest that the head of the family disliked attended, the servant would try their best to be formal. But if it were a privileged guest, the servant would take extra care when tending to them.

The reality was that noble families who employed servants with more brash personalities were usually a rank or two lower. Conversely, higher-ranking families employed servants with better characters. While the Mikoshiba Grand Duchy was a newly emerged noble family, their strength was already well-known. Bettina assumed that the servants working for him would be the best of the best.

No matter how much they hide it, there must be some subtle changes in their behavior that they can’t hide. Bettina was confident she could find those subtle changes.

“Please do not fret... Although the master has a cold-hearted side, he will not dismiss you as long as you show respect and good manners. Even if they were planning to destroy House Eisenbach, they would not have invited you to a tea party, Lady Bettina. The master is not fond of such futile acts,” responded the blonde maid unexpectedly with a chuckle to Bethina’s question.

Bettina’s eyes widened as she thought, The maid wasted no time getting to the thick of it. I don’t believe she meant to antagonize me.

There was no way of knowing if what the maid had said the truth. While it might have been mere consolation, it was not the thing a maid should discuss. Few people would speak to Bettina in such a way.

Is she just loose-lipped? Or is something else going on here? thought Bethina until she worked out who the young woman in the maid outfit was.

Ah, I see. She’s one of the Malfist sisters that man keeps close. They have the sun-kissed skin that many born in the central continent have. Seeing they come from a family of high-ranking knights who serve the Kingdom of Quift, it’s no wonder that she has such perfect manners.

Women born into families of knights often mastered martial arts. Rather than just being simple knights, it wasn’t rare for them to become the bodyguard or waiting maid of a monarch or high-ranking noble. The Kingdom of Rhoadseria had a chauvinistic tendency, although Earth followed the same trend.
