chapter 20
20 – Stupid daughter is dangerous
William Lionheart.
My first impression after seeing him was…… It was a beast itself.
I was a man in front of a beast.
“I ask what you are doing, but why don’t you answer?”
William’s tone was like that of a beast.
It seemed that he would inadvertently let go of the hand that held Amelia.
I remember when I met Ryunosuke, there was almost no description of something like this happening in the manga?
“Stop it, Father! He’s just my new butler!”
After William killed himself at Amelia’s words, he said while adjusting his collar.
“Ed, can you explain what happened?”
“Yes, sir.”
Ed bowed down formally and opened his mouth.
“This is the apprentice butler chosen by Lady Amelia herself, and her name is Kim Hyun-jin.”
“It’s an apprenticeship. Did you give me the monocle, Ed?”
“Yes.”
“That sounds interesting.”
William muttered, looking back and forth between Amelia and me.
He started staring me in the eye.
“What is your name?”
“He…… “
“I didn’t ask you, Ed.”
“You have been rude.”
Ed gave a light nod and stepped back.
William gave me another look.
He took Amelia, unwrapped her arms around her, and stood her up before opening her mouth.
“My name is Hyunjin Kim.”
“Hyunjin Kim? You are Korean.”
“Yes.”
“Tell me how we met.”
Amelia tried to open her mouth, but I opened hers first.
“I saw Miss Amelia being attacked in the park.”
“You mean that in return for saving him, my sweet daughter hired me?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Ha ha ha ha!!”
William laughed heartily as he stood.
Is this funny?
“Daughter, you used an interesting method to bring in a new employee!”
“Oh, Father?”
“Well, it’s at the peak of that time. It’s hard to control the guy called emotion easily. There’s nothing I can’t understand…… “
Muttered William, looking at me again. He slowly approached me and opened his mouth as if he was giving me a pressure interview.
“The fact that Ed acknowledged it must mean that it is okay to accept him as a member. Did you say Hyunjin?”
“Yes, it is.”
“I don’t know what kind of person you are, but I can definitely tell by looking into your eyes. It doesn’t look like your intentions are impure.”
“Ahahahaha… ….”
Is that so?
I think it’s kind of impure, but it’s fortunate that it’s not.
“Oh, it seems I was too mean at a party that should have been fun. Aren’t you offended, Hyunjin-kun?”
“Not spoiled.”
“Then we should start the party. Come on, my dear daughter. This is the gift my father has prepared for me.”
William snapped his fingers, and a neatly dressed elderly butler slowly walked out from behind him.
Compared to Ed, he seemed a bit older.
“Long time no see, Ed.”
“…… Long time no see, Tommy.”
The two butlers greeted each other as if they knew each other. I didn’t really want to get involved in the flow of emotions I felt there.
They keep each other in check…… Feeling called.
An elderly butler named Tommy handed the box to William.
William said to Amelia, holding the box.
“Come on, Amelia. Let’s take a moment to say thank you to Papa.”
“What, what are you talking about?!”
Amelia raised her voice, dyeing her face ruby red. Well, isn’t it too childish to call him Papa now?
“You called me that when you were little, Amelia! Why is she being so unkind? Her dad is heartbroken…… !”
“I will call you Father! I will never call you papa!”
Amelia twisted her head as if pouting.
William waved his hand as he smiled bitterly.
“Now, now. Don’t be so Let’s have some food. It’s been a long time since I enjoyed dinner. Everyone go and sit down.”
William led his party and started the party. Amelia, the head of the party, was seated at the top of the table, and William sat right next to her on the left.
As we sat down on either side of her, she thought about where to sit and calmly decided on her seat, when Amelia opened her mouth.
“Hyunjin? Please come and sit next to me.”
“But, lady…… “
“Don’t make me say it twice?”
“Yes.”
Headed to the right as she nodded.
It was a little awkward because William’s gaze kept looking at me, but I decided to do it for now.
As they sat next to Amelia, William opened her mouth.
“Amelia.”
“Yes, Father.”
“Didn’t I tell you to call him Papa?”
“Didn’t I say no!?”
“Personally, I want to hear the sound of Papa Papa… ….”
William muttered with a sad expression on his face.
No one reached for the tableware first. No wonder the owner didn’t touch it…… Feel the same.
William opened his mouth, lifting the cutlery.
“Don’t skip the speech! Today is my dear Amelia’s birthday! Now, everyone, enjoy your meal and ask for your support in the future.”
It wasn’t even a congratulatory speech.
As William declared, everyone raised their tableware.
Looking around, the servicemen’s tableware was slow according to today.
It must have been because of William. If you make a mistake here, it will be over and you will hear what Edna said to Rachel.
“Tommy, some wine.”
“Okay.”
The old butler did not sit down. She stood silently next to William, only moving at his request.
Tommy took the wine and quietly filled the glass in front of William.
“Tommy, I’ll just bring you the wine and sit down.”
“Okay, Master.”
Unbeknownst to me, I was looking at an old butler named Tommy. Seeing his dignity revealed in one gesture, I thought it was really cool.
“Hyunjin, do you know how to drink?”
William hinted. He said he likes to drink, but he doesn’t drink because he’s young now and above all, alcohol is perfect for destroying his stamina.
“No, since I am still a student…… I never drank it.”
“hahahaha! It’s too bad. Then, how about drinking it now?”
“Oh, Father! What are you talking about!?”
“Originally, a man is perfected by drinking alcohol.”
William grinned, showing his teeth. I can’t help but think that there is an intention to force alcohol.
You could say I’m purely looking for a drinking buddy, but right now it’s a birthday party.
…… Behind the cleverly smiling face, it seems to be full of will to test me.
I have no intention of ever going over.
Here, let’s think about what a butler should have.
“I can’t drink unless the lady suggests I try.”
“What a pity that!”
William chuckled and drank his wine.
Certainly, William is a good man. At first glance, I just look like a good-looking, stupid daughter-in-law, but I feel like I’m watching the reaction to see how I’ll come out.
So that’s why he’s recommending this and that to me.
“Sorry.”
“No, what. Is there anything to be sorry for? hahahaha! By the way, how many months have you been a butler?”
“I met the young lady last December and entered the mansion, so it is still 5 months.”
“Five months…… Certainly not long.”
“Yes.”
“Amelia, do you feel a little better after choosing the servant with your own hands?”
William asked, Amelia stopped her dishes and blushed.
“It is rude to ask such a question, father!”
“Ah, isn’t it okay? Fathers who are curious about what their children are doing are far and wide in the world.”
“Yeah, but…… “
“So, let’s try to be honest.”
“Joe, that was great. Most of all, it was because we were similar in age…… !”
“And?”
William smiled slyly and turned the arrow from me to Amelia.
You really have a nasty personality.
“Above all, listen carefully!! Like a docile dog!!”
When Amelia raised her voice as if she was about to burst into tears, the servants clapped in unison.
A gentle dog, it’s a little too much!
She thought so, but didn’t express it. As long as she has a seat.
William was the first to speak.
“Ah, did I say Hyunjin? Forgive the rudeness of this poor patriarch. Her birthday party is the main one, but I was curious because Amelia has a new butler.”
William said as if he was aware of the situation. Well, it would be strange if the person named Gazoo didn’t even know how things worked.
“No, Majesty.”
“Seeing you in person, I feel relieved. I think I know why Amelia hired me.”
William said, stroking his golden beard lightly.
I thought it was very fortunate that I had to deal with it because it was a development that did not appear in the original work, but it was fortunate that it did not happen in a very bad way.
“So, what do you think of Amelia? Hyunjin.”
No, wait a minute. What does she think?
A powerful punch hit me.
