The Super Capable Beautiful Maid Protects Her Lord*

(POV switch – Monica)

“Now then… shall we go?” (Monica)

It was four o’clock in the morning. The outside was still dark because dawn had not come yet, and I looked out the window while stretching lightly. Honestly, I would have preferred to sleep more for the sake of my skin, but since I had to protect His Highness Harold, there was no helping it. After all, that person could not protect himself without me, the super capable beautiful maid.

Huh? You want to know what exactly I am protecting him from? Well… it is true that His Highness Harold wields weapons unlike anything others could ever imagine. Moreover, he even overwhelmed that scum of the Fourth Prince… or rather Wilfred, and it is no exaggeration to say he is now one of the kingdom’s foremost shield users.

In fact, he can block almost all of that Milady’s attacks. However…

“That person only ever thinks about protecting what is ‘important’ to him.” (Monica)

Including me, His Highness Harold does not hesitate to get hurt if it means protecting what is ‘important’ to him. For that, when we are near him, he displays power beyond his usual abilities, but at the same time he exposes himself to greater danger. Besides, if something happened to His Highness Harold, who would pay my salary? That’s why I have been exclusively eliminating enemies without anyone knowing, in order to protect His Highness Harold.

Of course, the assassins that scum… Wilfred sent, and those who obsessively watch over His Highness Harold like snakes, there are more than I can count on both fingers and toes. However, the person who troubles me most is one who, even with my full effort, seems to walk through a rain of arrows as if crossing an empty field, and reduces everything to nothing. Until now I have managed to stop her at the border, but recently she has been coming closer and closer, and I cannot let my guard down even for a moment. In a way, I admire how persistent that person is, but honestly, it is tough. Someone please do something.

…That is not good. I, a super capable beautiful maid, must not become discouraged. To continue receiving a lot of salary from His Highness Harold, I shall work myself to death today as well. That said…

“…She’s here.” (Monica)

Hearing the bell I had set on the palace outer wall that signaled an intruder, I rushed out of my room toward that place. Though many traps had probably already been breached, I just predicted the route that person would take and waited for them.

“Yesterday, she tried to attack the detached garden, so today she will likely take an unexpected route and come from this main street.” (Monica)

Coming from the main street where many guards are stationed would be foolish, but that person would find it easier than breaking through traps. After all, I doubt anyone in this world can match that person. Look. Speaking of rumors, aren’t the guards being thrown into the air one after another?

“I absolutely will not let you through, Milady…” (Monica)

That is right… I have served His Highness Harold for two years and have blocked this Milady’s invasions almost every day. She is a berserker driven mad by nothing but the desire to do something indecent to the fiancé, breaking through even my traps with overwhelming force. If I let her pass, His Highness Harold will lose many things, his chastity, dignity, even his soul.

…Isn’t that too much? You ask. You do not know how deeply Milady is obsessed with His Highness Harold and how desperately she desires him. Digging through the trash in His Highness Harold’s room’s garbage bin is cute by comparison. If she really want, Milady would produce lots of trash herself in His Highness Harold’s room. She would do all kinds of things that appear in His Highness Harold’s treasured doujinshi, things like that and more.

Even I, the super capable beautiful maid… no, it is precisely because I am the super capable beautiful maid, I cannot ruin the pure image everyone has of me.

“…As expected, you are going to interfere with me again today.” (Alexandra)

“Of course. Protecting His Highness Harold’s chastity is the duty of me, his dedicated maid.” (Monica)

Milady asked me with her crimson eyes shining brightly, and I answer in a flat voice.

Well then… shall we begin? The battle to protect my lord… my ‘precious one’.

“Fuwaaa… huh? Monica, don’t you seem a little tired?” (Harold)

“You say strange things. I am no different than usual.” (Monica)

The morning sun shone through the window, and His Majesty Harold yawned and asked casually.

Indeed, dealing with Milady is exhausting, but as the super capable beautiful maid, I would never show signs of fatigue to His Majesty Harold. Yes. I behave perfectly so that His Majesty Harold will never be disappointed no matter when or how he sees me. Though, well…

“To be honest, I am a little tired this morning…” (Monica)

“Hey!?” (Harold)

I sit on the bed and lean against His Majesty Harold’s chest now that I have a chance. He blushes and looks flustered, but since I worked hard, I must get at least a little reward from my lord. Isn’t that right, Haru-sama?
