Chapter 99: [99] Plum Blossom Swordsman Reincarnated in a Count’s Family [23]
Recently, the Pruckus estate has become bustling.
In three weeks, Ention Pruckus, the head of the Pruckus Count family, will return to the estate, and a banquet will be held to celebrate his return.
Along with Ention, the vassals working at Utrein Castle and those scattered across the Pruckus family's territories will attend the banquet. Additionally, renowned merchants, nobles from other regions, and soldiers who have distinguished themselves will also participate. Considering the influence of the Pruckus family, up to 800 people are expected to attend.
Of course, the banquet isn't a one-day event—it will last for three days.
As a result, Elaine, the Countess of Pruckus, as well as Hassent, the head butler, and all the servants working in the estate are busy preparing. The knights, too, have been training rigorously upon hearing of Ention's return.
However, there are two people in the estate who aren't busy and are acting as usual: me and Kyle. Kyle is utterly incompetent when it comes to administrative tasks, and I'm still young and frail.
Elaine doesn't ask for our help. Helping the servants? If we, who hold noble status, assist them, it would disrupt the hierarchy. Besides, the servants would be extremely uncomfortable.
In short, staying quiet is the best way to help Elaine.
'They really are busy, huh.'
Even Yuria, my personal maid, has been asked to assist the head maid and has started helping out. In her place, a clumsy young maid has temporarily become my personal attendant. She isn't particularly pretty or skilled at her job. I simply ordered her to stand by.
'Ention Pruckus. An aura master. The guardian sword of Rapherry. My father.'
It felt awkward.
