Academy Genius Commander

64 – short date

Nobles are mostly raised by nannies from a young age, except for very special cases.

Even aristocrats, like those shown in dramas and novels, rarely maintain an attitude of indifference to their children and only do their own thing.

The father of an aristocratic family is an officer, magistrate, or statesman of the empire, and the wife must manage her husband’s estates or attend women’s social events, so she cannot always look after the children.

So, whether a boy or a girl, they are raised by a nanny from an early age.

In an aristocratic family, a nanny is the closest vassal and occupies a family-like position.

The same was true of Count Benner’s family.

“Fauna, do you really have to dress like this? I’m not going to a prom, but I want to dress more comfortably.”

Then Fauna, Laura’s nanny, shook her head and said.

“It’s not possible. I don’t know if I’m meeting my friends in the capital, but today I’m going out to pick out clothes with Lieutenant Colonel Jaeger. Normally, the lady and the lieutenant colonel are between the adjutant and the commander, so they only show their uniforms, but when they wear civilian clothes like this, they have to wear cute and elegant clothes to show off their female charms.”

It was a remark that seemed rude to the aristocrat and the only daughter of the count, but none of the maids around her, including Laura, were offended by those words.

Because Fauna is a nanny who has taken care of Laura since she was a toddler. If necessary, it is because he is a person who can nag like this of course.

“It is Count Benner who instructed me to dress nicely when going out with the colonel today. If the young lady dresses up and goes out, the lieutenant colonel will see you again, and he will probably compliment you on how well you look.”

Hearing that, Laura looked again at the sky-blue clothes that are usually left in the closet and rarely worn.

It’s different from a uniform that’s easy to move around, so I hated it because it had a lot of restrictions on my activities, but I thought the lieutenant colonel would praise me for looking good on me.

All of a sudden, I felt the urge to try it on.

“That, is it?”

“Because the lady is so beautiful when you look at it objectively. Even when you were at the academy, you often came to me during vacation, right? ‘I don’t like men clinging to me, Fauna.’ It’s all because Laura is pretty. If you see such a young lady dressed in a pretty outfit rather than a stiff uniform, the lieutenant colonel will also see her as a woman rather than an adjutant. The lieutenant colonel must really like it too, right?”

Laura von Wenner put on a dress with some discomfort, expecting a future where she was praised as pretty by a respected lieutenant colonel.

“Take a look in the mirror, you are so pretty.”

She had never worn a dress except to a ball in her life, but the thought of being praised by the colonel made her feel better.

Isn’t it pleasant to be praised by the opposite sex regardless of gender?

Besides, the reflection in the mirror was very pretty even for Laura to see.

Seeing that, Fauna tapped Laura on the shoulder and whispered in a small whisper.

“Because the beauty of the lady who has been hidden under the military uniform is revealed like this… He is also a man. You’re going to the prom and you won’t even notice the other girls. Seeing a young lady who has grown so prettily, I am deeply moved. Taylor’s, a tailor’s shop my family frequents, has already told the owner to select a sample of a suit that would suit the lieutenant colonel. If you want to go get some coffee after that…”

In fact, men, even if there is a pretty girlfriend right next to them, often have an instinct to go to other women.

Fauna added a bit of lies because telling Laura the truth would be like overturning the entire floor.

“Fa, Fauna. The lieutenant colonel and I are still, still… the adjutant and the commander…”

“I know. Have a good trip anyway.”

So Laura finished preparing to go out and went out to the door of her mansion where she was supposed to meet Lieutenant Colonel Jaeger, and Fauna went to Count Venner’s butler and said,

“Butler, it’s because the young lady doesn’t even have that common first love that everyone else does at the academy, and because she only read military science textbooks when she has time to read romance novels, she doesn’t know how she feels. It seems there is no doubt that you have a crush on Lieutenant Colonel Jaeger. I heard that the colonel would like the dress that I barely wore at the ball, so I put it on right away.”

“is it? But will it really work?”

Fauna said with a confident smile.

“I’m sure it will work out.”

Saying that, Nanny Fauna swallowed her words behind her back.

‘You’ve already learned how to captivate a man’s heart, and if you see her acting clumsily like that, even an impregnable man will fail.’

I studied in Korea without even having time to make a girlfriend. I didn’t have many friends because I was studying books and common sense related to military science besides my departmental studies.

So, of course, I couldn’t even dream of dating or dating.

After entering the academy, if I didn’t get a perfect score in tactics, strategy, or military science, I would immediately fail, so I didn’t have time to study focusing on them, and I didn’t have any girls to date me, a commoner.

I’m not 21 years old, including living in Korea, I’ve never had a proper conversation with a woman, let alone a girlfriend, for almost 30 years.

Strictly speaking, I was attached to Laura through the relationship of adjutant and commander.

Let’s make an exception because that’s not a personal relationship, it’s a business level story.

“Lieutenant Colonel, are you sick by any chance?”

I’m fine without saying I’m sick, but Laura, who appeared in an unusual dress, put me in a state of pause.

I knew from the beginning that I had a pretty face and a slim and beautiful body.

However, it was different when Lieutenant Laura, who was just a good and pretty adjutant, suddenly appeared in front of me as a cute and beautiful woman.

It was so beautiful that I could just stare blankly at it. My heart trembled.

“no. I just stared blankly at the lieutenant because the clothes fit him so well and he was pretty. It’s very different from usual. I liked the look in the military uniform, but this outfit really suits me. ”

“Is that so? Even until I wore it, I thought about whether this kind of clothes would suit me well.”

With long, silvery hair with a slight bluish tint and red eyes, the sky-blue white dress with frills that matches her creates the feeling of a princess in a fairy tale.

Laura pointed to the carriage standing in front of the mansion with her face slightly reddened, perhaps because she had been praised.

It wasn’t covered in gold like the carriage in fairy tales, but it was very cool with the Venner family crest engraved in gold on a completely black background.

Will the day come when I can ride a carriage like this exclusively for myself?

“There is a tailor shop called Taylors that my family loves. Go over there and get your clothes tailored.”

**

Unburnt white walls, a desk made of raw wood, countless samples of fabric placed on top of it, and various suits on mannequins.

I was shocked when I saw that even the most inexpensive suit was made of silk instead of regular fabric.

“Lieutenant Colonel, the tailor is waiting for you.”

Laura dragged my arm and went inside in a familiar manner befitting a countess’s daughter.

Then the tailor measured my chest, waist, arms, and hips with a deft hand, and led me and Laura into an inner room.

In the room, we were greeted by an elderly gentleman in a very well-suited suit, as if he had known in advance that we would be coming.

“This is Ray Gent, the president of Taylors. Today it is an honor to match the first suit of Baron Yeager, a young war hero of great renown. Then choose a suit you like.”

After saying that, the staff brought at least 10 samples of suits.

“This gray suit here seems old enough for the lieutenant colonel to wear, and the red one looks too loud, so I think this navy blue would be the best.”

The boss nodded and said.

“Oh, as expected Laura-sama. You have high eyesight. Certainly, for those who are young and have a sense of weight like the baron, navy blue suits them best. I think it would be fine if we added some decorations here, but…”

“It’s like a small pocket watch…”

“This is a wise decision. The price is 5 gold, but Count Benner calculated it himself, so you don’t have to pay extra.”

The conversation ended in an instant, and Laura quickly completed all the formalities, starting with where to get the suit.

I might be surprised and feel a bit bad if someone else bought something else without asking my opinion, but…

I didn’t really know anything about the suits worn by nobles, so I felt grateful that they prevented me from becoming an idiot while answering in front of the boss.

Besides, I never thought that Count Benner would even pay for the introduction of the tailor.

5 gold may not be a lot of money to him, but since the head of the family of five serfs must work for a year to earn money, he must repay it separately.

“Lieutenant Laura, there’s still a lot of time before the sun goes down. How about going somewhere nearby and having a cup of coffee? Since you worked hard for me, I will treat you.”

Then Laura nodded her head as if she would gladly drink coffee made with roasted dandelion or chicory that the peasants drink.

“Yes, Colonel.”

That afternoon, I went to a cafe with Laura and talked about our daily lives, not strategy and tactics.

Laura listened with a twinkle in her eyes and a nod when I occasionally said something she might not be interested in.

Then, while eating the cream puffs Laura ordered, when the cream got on my mouth…

She unconsciously took out a handkerchief and wiped my face, and when our eyes met, my face turned red.

“Me, Lieutenant Colonel. The cream got on your face.”

No matter how insensitive I was when I saw that figure… I was able to know through all the circumstances so far.

Even though Count Benner, who cares for his only daughter inexhaustibly, was able to use a tactic of inviting a woman from a suitable family to the banquet, later saying it was a misunderstanding.

At a prom like a contest to find the best marriage partner in the world, he gave Laura as a partner and let her pick out the suit…

In addition, even the reaction that you show openly when you drink coffee.

So, instead of asking just in case, I put my hand on the side of her left hand.

He made a surprised expression and flinched, but seeing that he did not avoid it, he became convinced.
