The way they bowed was a little different here
“Mr. Takumi, please stand up.”
“Ah, yes.”
“Just do the sa as Lady Claire and the rest of us.”
“…Very well.”
Alfred whispered to , and so I got up to my feet.
I had been briefed about how things would go, but there was still a lot I didn’t know when it ca to manners.
From what I understood, everyone was going to bow at the sa ti. Ms. Lyra told to watch the others and copy them.
“We salute the flag of our kingdom!”
Sebastian and Alfred held the flags and stood between Claire and I.
Ms. Hermine raised her voice to the people and everyone bowed towards the flag.
The won brought one leg backwards and lowered their heads while raising the hem of their skirts.
But I kept my eyes on Alfred and Sebastian.
They went down on the right right knee and bowed their heads while raising their right hand in front of them.
While their left hand was stretched backwards…it was certainly interesting.
“At ease. … Next, salute the Duke’s flag!”
Sebastian said, and everyone raised their heads.
They returned the country’s flag to its original spot and picked up the duke’s flag.
This ti, all n and won were the sa. They put their feet together and held their right hand in front and their left hand in the back and bent forward while lowering their heads… It was similar to how the butlers usually bowed.
As it was all the sa, I copied Claire…but while it was simple, I felt that I wasn’t doing it correctly.
Apparently, this was sothing that all citizens learned. But so places were more thorough in teaching than others. So the servants had taught the people again before they entered.
Well, it was to prevent anyone from embarrassing themselves or acting rudely.
In fact, Ms. Jane had taught Nick a mont ago, and he had looked rather awkward. Just like .
“Now please take your seats, everyone.”
Said Sebastian. And so everyone sat down.
“…Huh?”
“What is it, Mr. Takumi?”
“Nothing…”
There were two people who were taking their ti. Ms. Lyra looked at questioningly, but I just shook my head.
I see. So it was them… The two who had not co last night. This was my first ti seeing them, but the details had been written on the docunts.
After all, I had chosen them myself.
“Lady Claire.”
“Yes…oh! I am the daughter of the duke, Claire Liebert…”
Once everyone was in their seats, Claire stood up once again.
She coughed once and then began to speak to the room in a calm and cool voice. She was clearly used to this kind of thing.
“Now then, the person who will be master of the herb gardens…”
“Yes. Uh… I am Takumi. I will be in charge of the managent of the herb gardens in Range village.”
As the people here had already been told the important details in advance, I kept the introduction simple.
“My na is Alfred. I was hired by Mr. Takumi to work as his head butler.”
“And I am Lyra. I will be working as head maid.”
After that, Keith, Jane and the others introduced themselves as well.
“I-I am Milina. I will be helping with the dicine…as so of the herbs will be concocted into dicine… Ah, um, also, I will working as as servant for Mr. Takumi…”
As for Milina, she was very nervous and stiff…
