The evening bell was ringing.

There were customers visiting the sweet store that was on the way to the castle gate from the mansion.

“Excuse us.”

The shop assistant came out to welcome the customers when she heard their voice.

She was surprised to see the person who had come to collect the items.

“YOUNG MASTER SMITH AND FREDRICK !!!!???”

She could understand Fredrick but she never expected young master Smith to come.

“I came here on the request of elder sister Jessie to collect the things that she ordered.”

“Yes, yes, the preparations are complete. I’ll bring it out.”

She brought the stuff from inside the store.

“I’ll place the money here.”

Fredrick placed a bag of money on the counter.

“I apologize on behalf of my elder sister who seems to have asked for a difficult task.”

Smith said.

“No, no. It was a task that I could somehow manage.

Besides, since it’s for Lady Alice, I had to agree.”

“Sister Alice?”

“I heard from Lady Jessie. Something has been bothering Lady Alice.”

“………..Even about the letter !?”

“Letter?……….is it?”

“Yes. The letter that arrived for elder sister Alice that evening right?”

“Nnn” 

Fredrick cleared his throat.

“!?…….I’m sorry. Please act as if you didn’t hear that.”

Smith immediately pressed his mouth and requested with a pale face.

“Eh?…………Understood.”

“………..Then, we’ll be leaving so that we can make it in time for dinner. Excuse us.”

They left the store.

During the tea time after dinner that day –

Alice was eating delicious sweets with everyone when she asked –

“By the way sister, how is it going with Sir Goodwin?”

She could barely contain her smile as she asked.

The next day –

The eldest, Jessie was walking to the bar that was on the way to the back gate of the castle from the mansion.

She had approximately the same exchange with them as well as the sweet store from the day earlier.

Once again Smith and Fredrick had come to collect the items and were on their way back.

“Fredrick, did I do well?”

“I would say that young master Smith had received a passing mark. However, you will experience various things hereafter and keep improving.

For example, the flow of the conversation was a little aggressive this time but I think that you will gradually improve.”

“I see………..looks like I can’t immediately improve. I have to do my best.”

He told himself while walking.

“Yes. Lady Jessie also experienced various things and grew to that level.

There are many things that you won’t be good at from the beginning, those skills can only be acquired by going at it and it’s a great thing that you could learn something from it this time.”

“Is that so.”

They were almost reaching the mansion.

It seems that today was a day for fun stories with some delicious cake.
