Chapter 19
Ch . 19 Suddenly Returning Home .
The Duke and I have fabricated a web of lies, but my parents-in-law couple consented to this act with great delight and went back home the next day . They left with these words ‘Next, you should come to the territory . Ah, if he is busy just Viola will be fine’ . Uh huh, it I will selfishly go if it is just me!
So that means as the parents-in-law couple returned home the Duke also returned to the detached building and I returned to my comfortable servant life at last! Pretty dresses are lovely but, as I thought, I like the servant uniform! A dress is very much a thing for a curvy woman . Moreover on the other hand the servant uniform magically replaces ‘flat and slippery’ with ‘neat and clean’......! I have tears of gratitude .
Seeing off my parents-in-law, who will be eating lunch someplace else, with a face full of smiles, I swiftly dash to return to my room . And then quickly change into the servant uniform and life recharge!
“Ah~! What a feeling of liberalisation !”
It is slightly bad manners, but I dive on the bed with a fwump! This spacious gorgeous bed is also mine!
“Mistress . Since no one is looking it is fine but......”
With a bitter smile Dahlia breathe a sigh .
“Yes, I know . Just for 10 minutes, okay?
I beg Dahlia while rubbing my cheeks on the supreme texture of the sheets . To be able to do this on the sheets with my face without no makeup, whoopee! When in front of my parents-in-law I had to wear special makeup......well, rather, I had a ‘good wife’ natural makeup ver . [look] . I was fearful my skin might stop breathing .
“Understood . I think it would be good to have a short afternoon nap”
“Yes, just for 10 minutes......”
If I close my eyes for a bit and recharge, I can once again enjoy the servant life......sigh
It seems I was more tired than I thought . When I eventually came to, it was long past daytime, and close to the evening . I was surprised by the room that had completely become dim and rose up in a start . I guess this was a afternoon nap or rather a serious sleep?, I ended up deeply entering alone . And yet if Dahlia and Mimosa could have woken me up it would have been good! Aah! I ended up missing out on the servant lunch I was looking forward to......I’m heartbroken .
I am hanging my head on my bed alone, when Mimosa enters with a knock on the door .
“Mistress, are you awake?
“Yes . I ended up sleeping with all my might”
“You were sleeping well, so you woke up without us waking you . You were undoubtedly tired”
Mimosa said with a sympathising like kind smiling look . Yeah, I have been healed . Just a little revived .
“That’s right . It looks like moving around like usual with everyone is more suited to me”
“Uu, mm . In it’s own way that is a little bit......”
Mimosa changed to a bitter smile . Well, this certainly not a Mistress-like remark!
A week after that .
I have been so far enjoying ‘a fun servant life’ with the servants, but the unexpected suddenly came along .
“Mistress, Master has returned,”
Mimosa informed me of the Duke’s return home .
“Thank you . I’ll hurry,”
I say and half run towards the entrance . Ah, lately I have the stunt of changing to match the Duke’s estimated returning home time imprinted in my body . Because if everytime I change from the servant uniform with a kerfuffle it will someday come out with tattered clothing! The makeup, taking into consideration my skin breathing, is very light makeup, so it takes the blink of time . The reluctant-looking Mimosa ignores the dash .
I arrive at the entrance way and as usual the Duke and Lotus are conversing . The Duke notices me as I cheerfully turn up .
“I have presently returned,”
he said and sweetly smiled . Uh huh, that is probably a very sparkly insincere smile . Even knowing it is a insincere smile it is a sight for sore eyes . I unintentionally ended up becoming fascinated by it like a idiot, but I did my best and held my ground,
“Welcome home, Duke”
I give a zero money smile and say my usual words . And usually after giving those lip services, okay we breakup~and yet only today the next words to come out of the Duke’s mouth no one could have predicted .
“Was not today also particularly different and peaceful above all . Aah, shall I listen to your story of today while eating dinner?”
Oh? That’s strange? I have a feeling I am hearing a auditory hallucination- .
“O, kay?”
“So, it will be during the meal”
The Duke again presses me who awkwardly replied, for an answer . Uh huh, this was clearly heard . But it seems like my brain refuses to accurately deal with it, I still cannot comprehend .
However, it seems like I am not the only one with this collapse of affairs, the usually calm, cool and collected Lotus has also been disturbed . Suddenly he understood where it is difficult to understand, of course, a superior butler .
Such a vibe is also being transmitted from Dahlia and Mimosa in waiting behind me .
Only the Duke does not notice this delicate atmosphere . Incredible .
The Duke said today, at the main house, will eat dinner, with me .
My brain refused to think, but it unwillingly started activity .
Seriously? ......no, the disturbance is still not settled .
“Will dinner be eaten here?
Lotus quickly finished the disturbance and confirmed with the Duke .
“That is what I am saying,”
Said the Duke with his eyebrow raised in a slightly displeased, and is frustrated no one could understand it at once, but it was because of you(the Duke) that we were thrust down into the depths of disturbance!
“Certainly . Until the preparations can be made please wait in the reception room,”
Lotus politely accepts .
“Got it,”
The Duke says with a nod, stepping forward towards the reception room .
......where should I go? No, before that, an emergency meeting!
“I fell into complete failure to understand for a moment~! As expected Lotus, your recovery was fast!”
As soon as the Duke had disappeared towards the reception room immediately Lotus, Dahlia Mimosa and me assemble a natural circle, from here we work on our counter-plan . The entrance way reverberates voices well, so everyone brings their foreheads together and talk in whispering tones .
“To be entrusted with praise is an honour, but all the same, I also blanked out for a moment,”
Lotus with a bitter smile .
“I thought it was as if they were a foreign country’s words coming out . I was completely unable to understand,”
Next it is Dahlia who is saying this, Mimosa is also eagerly nodding her head . It seems like it wasn’t just me who had their brain refuse to understand .
No, this is not the place to have this kind of coming out convention now .
“For now we cannot do this here . Lotus talk to Carthame and ask him to make the preparations for dinner,”
My brain at last comes alive, I think we should execute this fully .
“Certainly”
Lotus nods in assent . After confirming that, I next turn towards Dahlia .
“Dahlia get the maids who are not onbreak to instruct the errand boys,”
“Understood”
Dahlia suddenly nods in assent .
“Mimosa together with me shall entertain the Duke”
“Okay”
“I......mmm~, today it cannot be helped I will have dinner together with the Duke . Ah, but please relay to Carthame and the maids to give me a half portion . No more, break!”
““Certainly””
Giving that reply, Lotus and Dahlia disappear towards the kitchen at a quick pace . Mimosa and I go towards the reception room .
Ah~, just as I thought the long-awaited peaceful everyday had returned~ I wonder what kind turn of events will also turn up . Only this am I unable to understand as it is .
