Tok Tok-

"Baron. May I come in?"

A maid was here. I put the boxes back in my luggage and answered.

"Come in."

With my permission, the maid came in with a tray.

"His Majesty has sent the baron her medicinal tea."

Medicinal tea?

I checked the tray the maid had put down on the table.

The pretty teacup contained the same medicinal tea I had this morning.

"You can drink it now."

"Okay."

The warm tea tickled my heart a bit.

Should I say my heart, which was uncomfortable up to now, was relieved? It seemed that the medicinal tea had a very good effect.

As soon as I finished the medicinal tea, I took out a strawberry candy and ate it.

"Now then, I will get you ready for bed. Is there anything else you need?"

Anything else I need...

I thought for a moment, then pointed to the box on the table.

"Can you light the candle in that box?"

I didn't know how much a scented candle would help me sleep, but it's better than nothing, right?

"Do you mean this?"

The maid found the scented candle in the box and exclaimed lightly.

"Oh, it's from His Majesty!"

"How do you know that?"

"This ribbon."

The maid showed me the ribbon tied to the scented candle.

"It is a ribbon made of cloth that only His Majesty can use."

"Really?"

"Yes. That's why I noticed it right away."

It was like that, huh? I didn't know it.

"His Majesty seems to be very fond of you."

"It must be because I'm his aide."

"Eii, who cares for their aides like this? It's a little more special..."

The maid hurriedly bowed as she stopped talking.

"I apologize, Baron. I just made a mistake. I really apologize."

"It's okay."

Because I thought so too.

When I was working at the Duke of Williot, I just sent or packed medicines to my aides when they said they were sick and I only asked them if they were okay when they came back.

I had never cared for them like this. And I had never even sent them a gift like scented candles.

As expected, it's strange.

What on earth is he thinking?

The question deepened. I stared at the scented candle that Kalian gave me for a long time.

*****

I stared at the food in front of me.

Hot pot with abalone and various seafood, oven-roasted turkey with various medicinal herbs, young veal steak, and salad with plenty of seasonal fruits, etc.
