Ch32 Monologue
“Calen, can you please leave?”
Is not the one who has entered while giving this reminder, the Duke?! Well, of courseToday he has returned early as announced
“Cercis!”
“I mentioned it many timesIt seems the time has come for me too to come to my senses”
The Duke shows a serious face that is different than usual, to Calendula who has quickly turned her headHis nor is now not there
He straightforwardly looks at Calendula with those dark beautiful eyes
“I have received good fros as they are, are not good”
It would be better if they had the conversation of their two-people-world by themselvesLotus, Dahlia, Mimosa and I have been quite left behind by the Duke and Calendula, who have completely entered their two-people-world,
“Shall we leave this place for a bit?”
“I think so” Dahlia and I whisperingly discuss when, the Duke says,
“Please all of you listen to this as well”
What good ears he has, even though ere exchanging with fairly concealed voices
It can’t be helped,
“Yes”
I reluctantly nod my head
It is really like a lover’s quarrelWhat kind of Batsu ga present at a lover’s quarrel!
“All along I have been running away from the heavy responsibility called ‘The duke family’I had to reliably protect this household[2] alone……it was lonelyHowever I was unable to perceive this loneliness around meIt was a dilemma,”
while steadily staring at Calendula, the Duke began his ue
Ah, but I feel I have heard this speech somewhere, ah, was it Dahlia who said as such? Dahlia and other’s conjectures are kind of right on the money!
“Around me everyone could only see me as ‘the heir to the duke family’No-one would look at me as just meAt that ti delicious?” and laughed it away”
“Fufu, there was also such a thing,”
The Duke unintentionally smiles sadly but, Calendula said very nice words! Did those words end up shooting through his heart, throb?Is that right?
“Life with Calen was pleasure-filled and enjoyableSuch things asheir or the duke fa”
The rasped their hands into a fistsUh huh, this part has been difficult for you all!
“Even approaching thewas unpleasantUntil noas probably a reaction to the feelings of oppression,” letting his gaze fall, the Duke is chewing his lips
“Even approaching thewas unpleasantUntil noas probably a reaction to the feelings of oppression,” letting his gaze fall, the Duke is chewing his lips
From here Calendula’s face cannot be seen but, she is quiet and listening to the Duke’s speech
“I could not help being surprised at the change of theti with flowers and light, andthis the Duke turns his gaze towards meHm? What is it?
“After Viola caed”
unh? Me?
Following the Duke’s gaze, Calendula also looks at me
“Until then this s appear warm and human”
It was, because I kept at diligently cleaned, did laundry and decorated everyday!
“At first, I beca the responsibility of ‘the noble duke family’s mistress’, that I had selfishly pushed on her”
Dear me! Was his interest attracted by such a point?
“And then, I wanted to knowthe tiun to have a favourable i the duke household without acting stiffly”
Well, it has proceeded from the level of ‘interest’ to ‘favourable i the duke household’ is overestisRather, as theit as a servant so, I involuntarily end up being bashful at the excessive praise
“She was livedeven if I do not care if she does and, she has spared no effort for the sake of i her skills”
That would be the dance lessons? Mih…… well that’s fine
That would be the dance lessons? Mih…… well that’s fine
“Oh, in that case, does it not look like I have been just de?”
Calendula is giving a offended intense gaze
“Actually the one who gave without refusing is meHowever, has it not only been wasteful?”
In opposition to that gaze, the Duke is also
“That’s right!”
“Viola has not even been deift it would still be an excess so she would end up refraining”
“An… and?”
“Even though I took her out to a evening party that she did not feel like going to, she nified duchessAs soon as you did not feel like doing it you gave up dancing, and flatly refused invitations”
“ObviouslyI have had enough of socializing, and the like, where such consideration is [needed to be] taken”
Hohohohoho, Calendula laughs
“That’s rightI also thought that before but, after looking at Viola, I thought ‘that’s not right’Overdoing it is not necessary, however, the minimum manners are necessaryViola took perfect consideration to her surroundings, in high society, which it seems she surely does not like”
Ooh, Duke! Here is a place which I greatky wish to agree to
Hereupon recieving these words,
Ooh, Duke! Here is a place which I greatky wish to agree to
Hereupon recieving these words,
“But, it is a society that has not relation tofearlessly nii
“That’s rightSo as I said I think I should come to my senses,”
In contrast to Calendula, fu, the Duke really acutely narrows his eyes
“Oh”
To such change in the Duke’s expression, so face stiffened, with half opened eyes staring at the Duke, Calendula is grasping her folding fan in her hand tightly
“I believe I want to protect Viola who has bravely kept at it without resenting lected herSo, Calendula, let’s break up”
The Duke stares directly at Calendula’s ruby eyes and, clearly declares this
