Tearmoon Empire Story

Episode Six: How to Show Lovely Loyalty

A maid dedicated to the Crown Princess.

That is a very honorable position, as well as a desirable end point for the maids serving the castle.

It is not civilians or the like who are mistaken to assume that office. It is often the case that he is of such a family as said three daughters, the second daughter of the nobility.

And more important than that is the high salaries. Nearly double compared to a common maid, and nearly triple if compared to Anne’s salary for a civilian native and rookie.

It is more impossible not to be surprised because Anne, from the civilian population, and not to say she is very good, who has been appointed to such a position, where some have fallen out.

When you get promoted like that all of a sudden, you’re going to be bullied by your maid buddies when you’re bad.

But this is what Meer proclaimed, exaltedly, to Nico.

“From now on, Anne is my exclusive maid. Will you come into my shelter? Ladies and gentlemen, please think about what that means.”

When this happens, I can’t help anyone anymore.

Anyway, it is the immediate nomination of the selfish and well-known Princess Meer.

Naturally, I can’t risk damaging the selfish princess’s mood to the maids who have seen so many whimsical and fired servants.

“Um, Anne, um, it’s been…”

On this day’s border, senior maids’ reactions to Anne changed. Instead of being bullied for no reason anymore, he became kind to me the other way around.

Some dodges, too, are now available for help.

In this sudden change, Anne at the time was just confused.

– It’s a bad idea to raise your salary too…

It’s something I don’t know why, so it feels creepy.

Anyway, it’s that Princess Meer. It’s a rumored selfish princess to fire a servant with one feeling.

Being kind for no reason, as Anne, I can’t help but be scared…

So Anne decided to ask thoughtfully.

“Um, princess, how can you be so good to me?

That day, Meer was sitting in her bedside chair in her room, reading an old daybook.

What’s so fun, Meer has been reading that lately.

– Is it the diary of someone famous…?

Meer, who looked up at Anne’s call, said with an adorable grin.

“I’m just rewarding your loyalty.”

Even so, it is Anne who has no idea.

“Did I do something to the princess?

“Whatever you do, thou art a man thick in loyalty, and I have recompensed it. That’s all. That’s all we’re talking about.”

– I’m not that loyal and thick!

It is Anne screaming in her heart.

She is not here at White Moon Palace to offer allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor or His Highness the Princess otherwise.

Then when I say what it is for, it is for blah blah blah money.

Her house is a poor merchant. Besides, I still have five little brothers and sisters to go with. Anne’s income can be called a lifeline because her parents can’t make it at all.

So, more is welcome, but if the reason is thick in loyalty, or something like that, which is far from who you really are…

– My stomach is tingling…

Like I don’t give a shit about anything in Anne’s heart like that, Meer said with a grin.

“So quickly, I’d like to show you your loyalty…”

“Huh!?

I’m not loyal or anything! It was Anne I wanted to say, but I just can’t say that.

– What the hell are you demanding…?

Oh, my God, I’m thrilled, Meer looks softly, like a child plotting a prank – well, Meer is actually a child.

“Now, could you get me some folk grass treats?

“… Huh?

It was a tremendously adorable way of showing loyalty.

Anne, who was hardened by tension, accidentally clapped out, almost laughed…,

“Now…”

I saw what was offered, and I screamed.

“Hey, hey, hey, princess! There’s too many of them!

What was in Meer’s hands was a giant gold coin called a full moon gold coin. That would make for a general maid’s salary, even sixty days.

“Oh, really? But I don’t have much money on hand… Oh, yeah, well, then maybe I’ll buy your family something delicious and go home.”

– If you go to any top restaurant, you can run out!

“Oh, and after that, about me, as you call me Meer, not the princess”

“What? Um…”

“Well, you asked for it. Hurry as fast as you can. Again, I need sweet treats when I think about it…… Ugh, folk grass snacks, I’m looking forward to it.”

It was Anne who could only watch Meer sing her nose blurry.
