Aloof King And Cool (Acting) Queen Chapter 7

7. Alexei-san Likes Bento.


[Alexei's POV]


I am Alexei. I usually manage the garden of the royal palace but the truth is, I am the King's younger brother. I am 35 years old.


&h.e.l.lip; It doesn't mean that I'm managing the garden because I have a bad relationship with my older brother.


From the start, I am not interested in the throne at all and I am contented with the kind of life I am living right now.



Incidentally, my younger brother is the Knight Commander.


Today, I am going to boast to my little brother about the 『bento Haruto made for me.


I was surprised when I first saw the bento.


Various side dishes are beautifully arranged in such a small box.


Haruto shows prodigal skill in his work but it seems like his skills are not just limited to that.


"Vice Commander! Did you see my little brother?"


I happened to see the Vice Commander, who hurriedly saluted before me.


Though I really don't care about things like that.


"Your Highness, it is rare to see you in a place like this. If you are looking for the Commander, I think he happens to be in his office."


"Thank you," I answered and headed to the office.


My younger brother Alfred is in his office inside the royal palace.


"Al, I brought some lunch!"


I approached my younger brother who looks worn out.


"Elder Brother, this is rare. I was just going to take a break, too."


"That's good," I said, then asked the male a.s.sistant to prepare tea.


"I had it especially made enough for two people's share today. It's bento."


"Bento?" Al seemed curious when I announced it with pride.


Al's eyes went wide when he lifted his lids.


"This is beautiful. It's a meal that can be eaten without expressly going to the dining hall! Furthermore, it's delicious!"


He started eating the bento ahead of me!


If I don't hurry up, even my share will be gone at the rate he's going.


"By the way Elder Brother, who made this? Have you finally found a lover?"


"No, I picked up a young man recently. His appearance is like that of a woman but he is considerably strong willed and very intelligent."


"He's working in the garden right now," I replied, then proceeded to introduce Haruto.


Al ate the bento with surprising swiftness.


"Please express my grat.i.tude to Haruto-san, too. It was delicious."


I left the office while saying, "Got it."


Thereafter, I brought bento for Al everyday and it became popular inside the royal palace.
