CHAPTER 10 – I PROMISE

「Okusama, Dannasama is coming over」

Berta comes back after going to check the door and informs me of Dannasama’s visit.

「Is that so? Then, I will wait on him in the living room on the first floor. What should we do about… a tea?」

He left immediately last time, did he not?

Is a tea a waste of time?

「I will prepare it」

It’s only natural! Berta declares while standing up.

Right! I’m sorry.

When I come down the staircase, the entry hall was noisy.

Ah, he already came.

He must set out immediately after sending the notice.

What’s his business this time?

I go over to greet Christhard-sama while thinking such.

「What were you thinking?」

When we sit down facing each other in the living room, Christhard-sama says in a commanding tone right from the start.

「Eh?」

「From the time you woke up」

N~ that’s right, my (Amalie’s) personality changed too much, didn’t it?

Since the high fever, I wasn’t hysterically shouting around the Sunlight Mansion, didn’t go out for parties, I just lived quietly with Wirbel.

Extremely unnatural. No, one may perhaps say ominous…

To be suspected just from living quietly is somehow sad, isn’t it?

Yosh, I must explain myself properly!

I spoke out my feelings while staring at the same dark green eyes Wirbel has.

「I have realized that there is nothing more important to me than Wirbel」

I think this says it all.

I believe that if Amalie realized it too, she would have changed.

Wirbel’s love should have healed the feelings of loneliness in innermost depths of Amalie’s heart.

When looking at his happy face…

「Realizing」and「Not realizing」completely changes the view of the world.

「I see」

Christhard-sama nods and mutters「At last, huh?」in a small voice.

Are? Did Christhard-sama perhaps notice Amalaie’s gaze towards Wirbel?

He wasn’t completely apathetic?

「May I ask Christhard-sama about how Wirbel fares in the main building?」

「Yes, that child is very bright and good child」

Christhard-sama says with an obvious pride.

Right, I know well!

What is this, is he trying to tell me that he knows more about Wirbel, than me?

When it comes to Wirbel I won’t lose to anyone! tte, what am I doing trying to start a quarrel…

「Please, tell me more」

I manage to relax my brows and force a smile on my lips.

「Fumu, he gets along with Arthur, and he’s kind towards Anneliese. Ah, it seems you have let Anneliese eat cake. She was bragging to Arthur about how delicious it was. You also let maids eat it, right? Rumors are running wild in the main building」

Seriously…

Berta nods her head when I glance at her.

I see, but it’s not like those are some bad rumors, right?

「Also, hmmm, Wirbel’s smiling face increased, he seems to be happy」

I raise my head because of Christhard-sama’s words, his eyes were quietly looking at me.
