"It's only a maid. Isn't that simple? I'll transfer him to your side immediately. I know you, General, are occupied with countless affairs every day and have many matters to attend to. It is only proper that many people serve you. I simply had not thought it through before, which is why I had you bring this matter up yourself."
"However, there is something I want to ask. Have you thought over the matchmaking arrangement I mentioned to you last time? You cannot remain like this forever."
"I've told you several times, yet you always turn me down so tactfully. I know you're embarrassed, but we are so familiar with each other. What is there to be embarrassed about? Just say whatever you have to say."
The ruler still remembered this matter, which made Uchiha Hikaru somewhat embarrassed. He had already evaded it several times before, so continuing to put it off would be rather awkward.
Moreover, Uchiha Hikaru could not possibly lay everything out so decisively and agree to it so quickly. That would only bring him even more trouble.
A gentleman's word could not be taken back. If Uchiha Hikaru truly agreed to this arrangement, the ruler would continuously introduce new people to him afterward.
In truth, the ruler also understood that this was not really done out of any desire to ease Uchiha Hikaru's burden. The girls placed at his side were merely the ruler's spies.
Uchiha Hikaru also knew exactly what the ruler's intentions were. The ruler simply did not trust him and wanted people around him to watch what he did every day. Since Hikaru knew that was the purpose, he naturally would not let the ruler succeed so easily.
If the ruler succeeded in this matter, it would undoubtedly mean trouble for Uchiha Hikaru
