"Good morning, Princess"
"How is the weather today, Sebastian?"
"The royal scholar predicted it to be sunny today, Princess"
"Ah, is that so? Then let us finish today's lesson quickly, I want to take stroll at the woods again. The brook you found last time is lovely. I want drink tea there again."
"I understand, I will ask the tutor to make today's lesson more compact. Princess"
"I'll leave it to you, Sebastian"
"Well then, if you'll excuse me. I'll take my leave for now, Princess"
"mm, Work hard, Sebastian"

I should go inform the chef that the princess is almost ready for today breakfast. After that I need to inform the tutors today to make todays lesson more concise. Then, I need to notify the guards to prepare escorts for the princess. I also need some luggage carriers to carry the table, chairs and stuff needed for the princess afternoon tea at the brook.

After all that I can finally enjoy breakfast. The princess and her majesty the queen should finish eating approximately one and a half hour so I need to finish my breakfast in half an hour and wait in front of the door, in case they finish early.

 

I finished informing everyone that needs to be informed. I should head to the servants lunchroom now. hmm? someone is already here.

"Good morning, Head maid. Since you are here the princess must have started breakfast with her majesty the Queen now?"
"Good morning, Sebastian. Yes, the royal breakfast bonding time has started. We should start eating breakfast now in case the royal breakfast ends early today."
"Yes, Thank you for the invitation. What might the chef prepare today for breakfast, I wonder?"
"Today we have cream stew with a piece of white bread. The chef prepared a total of five pots of stew for the servants so each person can have at least two refills."
"How delightful, Looks like we have a filling breakfast today."

This pot is huge, I remember that there are around 200-250 servants in the castle but I think a pot of this could feed 500 people. To think the chef prepared five of this. Maybe the other pots are for the orphanage feeding initiative that the queen enacted recently.
As expected of the kingdom who has a magic farm, the pot is filled with beautiful pieces of vegetables. They don't skimp on the toppings like canned foods in earth. The stew is nice and creamy, the vegetables are fresh and colourful and the chicken meat is soft and flavourful.

"This is quite a sumptuous meal. I have to say my thanks to the chef again later. Are you done head maid? We should continue our duties now."
"Please send my thanks to the chef when you meet with him too, it was quite a lovely breakfast. Let us go Sebastian."

Now that breakfast is done, me and the head maid need to wait for the princess to finish breakfast next. Then we will proceed with morning training.

Hmm, a sound of laughter can be heard through the door. Looks like the princess and her majesty the Queen are enjoying today too.

"I will see you tonight, Rose."
"Yes, have a good day, Mother."

In times like this we as servants should bow and not say anything. The head maid will bow her upper body 45 degrees forward, with her hands on top of the other, positioned just below her navel. I as a butler will also bow 45 degrees forward, my left hand is behind my back while my right is in a shape of a sword hand positioned just above my heart. We will stay this way until we are addressed to or the queen is finally out of sight, which should be in 3, 2, 1, and around the corner she goes.

"Are you ready for morning practice, Princess?"
"Yes, lets train hard today too, Sebastian."

Morning training is done now so next will be the princess bath time.

"Head maid, I will go inform the workers to start prepping the baths. I will go ahead for now."
"I'll leave it to you, Sebastian. Princess after the final breathing exercise we will proceed to the bath."
"Hah, hah, yes."

I need to rush and tell the workers before the princess finishes morning training. After that I need to take a shower quickly so I can guard the door before the princess starts bathing.

 

"Hmm, Princess you improved a lot in today's morning practice. Pretty soon we will have to start calling you hero princess."
"My, you and your flattery, Sebastian. Well then, I'm counting on you to guard the room while we bath."
"Leave it to me Princess. Please enjoy your bath."
The head maid and the princess usually take 30-45 minutes to bath. I have to vigilantly guard the surrounding. After this the noble ladies, whose household are in the capital, and the princess will have lunch.

 

"How did you like today's lunch, Princess?"
"It was enjoyable, I like having my friends over for lunch. Too bad I'm home schooled and can't attend the academy."
"If you wish to, we will arrange for guards and secret services to observe and protect you while in the academy."
"Hmm, what should I do, I do want to experience it but I don't really like the pesky noblemen who try to get close to me as the princess."
"Every venture has it risk Princess. Please think about it as you bath. We shall do our best to make your wish to come true, Princess."
"I see, I will inform mother if I decide to go tonight."
"The tutors agreed, Princess. I have already informed the tutors of your wish to visit the brook this afternoon, they will make today's lesson a quick one."
"You spoil me so much, Sebastian."
"Everything is for the Princess."

 

The lessons looks like its almost done, I need to tell the knights to assemble today's escorts and get the carriage ready. Normally if someone was running all over the castle the guards would stop you. The exception to this rule is me as a butler and messengers wearing the 'urgent' symbol. It's a simple perk but I really love it since I can't stand the guards staring at me as I slowly walk to the end of the hall. I know its their job and all but it feels creepy having a group of people holding weapons stare at you as you walk.

"Captain, please assemble the escorts. The princess is on her way soon. The destination is the brook in the woods as planned. Also prepare the carriage with space behind for the baggage carriers since they will be carrying a chair and table."
"Yes, Sebastian. You heard him, start preparing!"

 

"How do you like the tea, Princess?"
"It taste splendid, Sebastian. This place really looks beautiful. It's really calming and quiet that you can enjoy the sound of water flowing over the rocks and the gentle singing of the wind as the branches dance to its tune."
"How poetic of you Princess. Would you like me to note it down so you can share it to her majesty the Queen?"
"My, that sounds wonderful. Please note it down so I can share it wit mother. Maybe next time we can enjoy this scenery together. I wonder when her next free-time is? I'll have to ask her tonight."
"As you wish, Princess."

 

After a whole afternoon tea it looks like the princess is finally satisfied.
"I already informed the workers to prepare the bath, please go ahead, Princess, Head maid."
"Diligent work as always, Sebastian. Lets go head maid."
"Yes, Princess"

Time to guard again. Next is the mother daughter royal family dinner.

"hmm, What business would you have in this hallway? Do you know that during this time, no one is allowed to move freely in this hallway until the princess finishes bathing. Use other hallways if you want to get to the other side or me and the guard will apprehend you right now."
"Eh, ah, yes, sorry, sorry."

She must be a new hire. Her supervisor should be with her during her first few days. During that time the prohibited sections and sealed off places during different times should have been explained to her.

 

Finally lunch time. During this time most servants are free so the servant's cafeteria is pretty full.
"Have a pleasant dinner head maid. I will be joining the other butlers now."
"The same to you, Sebastian. I will meet with the other maids."
During this time me and the head maid will socialize with our peers to get pointers and help improve one another. Oh, is that the Royal chef?
"Head chef, How have you been today? The princess head maid and I would like to thank you for the wonderful meal today. As expected of the royal chef."
"You flatter me, Sebastian. I'm not as good as my ancestor 'Food hero'. I'm only good because of the recipe book he passed down."
"As modest as always Head chef. Well then, I would be dining with the other butlers. I you will excuse me, have a good evening, Head Chef."

 

Dinner is now done and now I need to entertain the princess until she fall asleep.
"What would you like to do tonight, Princess?"
"I have enjoyed myself during the afternoon but I got too eager that I put too much effort during morning practice and the lessons. I'm feeling tired tonight, I will just read some books until I fall asleep."
"As you wish, Princess. Would you like some warm milk while you read?"
"Yes, Prepare some for me, Sebastian."
"As you wish, Princess."

 

"Haah, I'm feeling sleepy now. Sebastian, clean up the books."
"Yes, Princess. Is there anything else you would like?"
"No, that will be all. Thank you for your hard work, Sebastian. So its finally tonight, right? Take care, Sebastian."
"Yes, Thanks for the good work. Please give my regards to the guards, Sebastian."
"Princess, Head maid, Have a good sleep. I will excuse myself now."
*bow*

 

Now that the princess is sleeping, I need to do my last job today. I may have an exception to run but the inspection for those rushing at night are stricter so a simple jog to the gate is all I could do.
"Good evening, Gate guards. I'm here to collect the things."
"Ah, Good evening Sebastian. Here it is."
"Hmm, Yes its all here. Then I bid you good bye."
"Yes, good bye, Sebastian."

After walking out the gate I need to go to buy some preserved food, a variety of seeds and what else, and Some extra clothes should be fine for now. Next I need to travel south to the terra territories of the kingdom. Is there still any carriages taking costumers this late at night.
Oh, there is one left.

"Excuse me, are you perhaps travelling south to terra?"
"Yes, I just finished business so right now I'm returning to the port town pass the terra territories. I planned to pick up customers along the way are you travelling to terra? It cost 2 gold coins from here to terra, that includes food and water."
"I am, please take care of me until terra."

I now have a means of transport, this carriage looks like the giant bird mounted carriage so I should arrive terra in about 4 hours. Two gold coins cost a bit expensive but for an express ride like this it should be worth it. I don't have to worry about bandits too. I should rest my eyes a little until we arrive.

"Mr. Butler, we have arrived we had a good tailwind today, we didn't have to stop for lunch so here are some bread and a few pieces of meat skewer."
"Uh, ah, Thank you here is the 2 gold coins."

Around 2 and a half hour, eh.
I need to travel to the village next to the great forest. The name of the village was forfarm village? They said the hero named it forest farm village and gave it the nickname forfarm village.

In there I can finally start, my farm, my life, my peace, and my chain-free freedom.
Yes, After 5 years farming and 5 years serving the princess I AM FREE!!!!

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, FINALLY, FINALLY!!"

What do you mean SEBASTIAN!?!? I am Brill! I changed my name but that came from a proper bet exchange, Don't force your ideals of a butler on me! If the pay wasn't good I would have flipped out from the start. Having to mind my manners, having to speak respectfully, and needing to get along with other butlers. eauuck!

AND YOU, head maid. I have been working along you for five years yet I never knew your name. Do you know how confusing it is to find you if someone called for the head maid. Each maid division has a head maid supervised by the royal maid directly under the queen. There are a total of 12 'head maids', do you know how confusing it is!

I'm finally done with all that. Thankfully, I also get trained from that. I also have enough money to start my farm too. I don't have to put my life on the line to dive the dungeon and earn little by little. The procedure to make a farm is quite easy too. I just need to give notice to the village chief and done! I don't really want to deal with livestock since they tend to need too much effort.

It did bring me some benefit but a hateful experience is a hateful experience no matter how much benefit it brings.
