Can Someone Please Explain This Situation-Chapter 19

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 .
