Whether it was related to that or not, even I’d realized that I was sighing a lot more once everything had been cleaned up.

“Ark. You’ve been working too much. Take some time off.”

Prince Alphonse told me to take a vacation. And of course, in response, I replied:

“Oh shit, is it going to snow tomorrow? Maybe rain some spears? I never thought you of all people would tell me to take time off, Your Highness.”

“Do you really want me to rain spears down on you, you bastard?”

My retort got me a very un-princely reply, and a glare right back.

Oh, he’s serious. He actually wants me to take a vacation.

That actually shocked me to the core.

“Huh? I never expected Your Highness would worry about a subordinate like that.”

“Just wait one minute. I’ll have you know that everything I ask my subordinates to do is with full awareness of their limits,” he snapped back, as if he was offended.

That shocked me even more.

So he wasn’t intentionally working us to the grave?!

No, that wasn’t the point.

“Wait. It almost sounds like you think I wouldn’t break no matter how much you abuse me.”

“And you haven’t broken yet, have you? Haven’t become emotionless, either.”

My shoulders drooped when he answered so lightly... No, in reality they were already heavy.

“But things are different this time. You spent all of that time on edge inside enemy territory. You’re more exhausted than you think you are. Though the fact that you can still talk back to me like that is just what I’d expect out of you,” His Highness continued, voice unusually gentle.

Oh damn, he can actually make faces like that? Or do I look so terrible that it warrants him looking at me like that? No, wait!

“Please wait, Your Highness! Before I take a vacation, my men—”

“Ah, I’ve already given exceptional vacations to Gale and the rest. If you don’t rest, then they probably won’t actually rest either.”

“Seriously...?”

His Highness had already resolved everything I was worried about. His foresight was probably why people didn’t run away from him despite him being the king of inconsiderate and unreasonable requests... Me included.

“Hahhh... Fine. I’ll do it. I’ll take a vacation.”

“Yep, please do. Or rather, your job this time is to rest.”

As I gave up and agreed, Prince Alphonse nodded with a smile.

A chill ran down my spine.

Ahh, he’s definitely gonna put me through the wringer of unreasonable orders once I return to work.

I mean yeah, there’s no way we can let up the pressure on Sylvario in a situation like this. And it would also be unthinkable to remove me from play when I threw my weight around and had spent so much time deep in Sylvario’s royal palace. Once I got back from my vacation, I probably wouldn’t get time off again until we’d succeeded in making them surrender completely.

“If taking a vacation is gonna be my job, then can’t you treat me any better?”

“Of course I can’t. Though if you were a tad less useful, it would be a different story.
