Chapter 66:Congratulations and Work

Two weeks have passed since Sasha gave birth to Mint and Basil. Sasha was gradually regaining her strength and Mint and Basil were growing up healthy.

During that, though, I was in a neighboring office feeling exhausted.

Zeke what is this?

As you can see, these are from Her Majesty the Queen, Her Highness the Second Princess Serensama, many Nobles, and every acquaintance that Callis-samaknows congratulating you on the birth of the Young Miss and Young Master.

I understand that, but what is with this amount?

There is a huge pile of gift-wrapped boxes in the room. I get that Nobles who Im close to would want to send congratulatory presents but did I know so many people? Certainly, the old Callis must have had a lot of connections, and due to my personality, Ive made more, but are those people really close enough to send congratulatory gifts like this?

Zeke answered my question with a sigh.

Given Callis-samasrecent work, this mustisnatural. Incidentally, other than the presents from Nobility, there are many here from people in your territory.

From the territory?

Yes, because of Callis-samaskindness towards the orphanage among other things, the people gathered to celebrate the YoungMissand Young Masters births.

Seriously?

The Nobility sending presents is within expectations, along with Her Majesty the Queen and Serensama but I never would have expected my territorys people to celebrate as well. Certainly, I have been donating to the orphanage and improving the territory, but since thats to be expected of a Noble, I never expect to be thanked for it. Have I become adored a little by my territorys people?

Well, putting that aside for now

Zeke, are you sure you have enough manpower?

What do you mean?

We recently hired more maids and guards, but do you really not need any assistance doing your work?

Even though we increased the number of staff in the estate recently, we didnt hire any butlers due to Zekes obstinate refusal. Zeke asserted that he alone was more than sufficient, and he seems to have a professional pride in his ability to get everything done by himself, but recently Ive started to worry because his workload has started to increase in recent days. Afterall

Wouldnt it be better if there were at least one person following you in case something unexpected happens?

Certainly, I have been thinking of training a successor recently, but unfortunately, I havent been able to find someone with the right qualities. Besides that, it seemed like Callis-samawas reluctant to hire more butlers.

Well thats because I didnt want other men to get close to Sasha and Laurier

In spite of my rational self, I felt it would be best if there were few men approaching Sasha and Laurier. In particular, since Sasha is so beautiful, I cant help but worry someone will approach her Truthfully, I chose guards who were under theirwivesthumbs and could never fool around, and female knights who werent at all interested in Yuri for that exact reason. After all, it never hurts to be cautious, right?

Anyhow, I think it would be best if you hired at least one butler to assist you.

I see if its someone who both I and Callis-samaapprove of, I wont have any complaints, but I refuse to admit someone half-hearted. If were going to admit someone, they should be enthusiastic and have talent.

Someone who can pass Head Butler Zekes judgement does such a rare talent like that exist? And, with those thoughts, I acted as if this were someone elses problem.

An apprentice butler Maybe a new love interest!?
