Chapter 11 (2/2)

Without any preface the first thing that I said after opened my mouth was to inform Lotus of this.

“Calendula is?

Contrary to my excitement, Lotus pushed his silver-rimmed glasses, used for work up, with his middle finger with complete composure.

“Yes. I was told call Lotus or Dahlia”.

“Is that so. Understood. Mistress……it would be better not to come”

Said Lotus to me while slowly removing his glasses and putting the documents on hand in simple order.

“Ah, is that so? Well, then, I am busy with room rearranging so I’ll go and look for Dahlia”

I have nothing to talk about (T/N: with Calendula), even if there is nothing it is fine. The first things to do go to Lotus and Dahlia?

Tilting his head to one side and he returned a bitter smile

“……room rearranging? Understood”

Then, in front of the room I seperate from Lotus.

…… but.

I found Dahlia right after that, so we were returning to the storage room where Mimosa is waiting but, no matter what, we had to go through the entrance.

In there Lotus and Calendula are still talking.

I thought I could pass through without being recognized but Lotus easily discover mine and Dahlia’s figures and we exchange looks. Well, in short saying ‘don’t come over now’

Dahlia sensed it in a moment and drew me to a pillar, so we decide to watch over the two people’s situation for a short time.

The entrance falls deadly silent.

Oh? I don’t have to strain my ears, because I can hear it as I please☆

“Even though a month has passed I have yet to give my greetings to the mistress”

“That is correct”

“So, I wonder if the mistress is in? By all means I would like to meet her”

“Unfortunately, the mistress is occupied at the moment”.

“Oh, I heard she does not do social things?”

“Yes. However, today she has business at her parents house, she is currently out”.

“Oh! That is bad luck. It can’t be helped, well then I will, on another day”.

“Please do so”.

Ooh, Calendula came to meet me! Since it is important I will say it again, but even if we meet there is nothing to talk about? Or rather, the mistress intruded into the main residence for this?

Is this a so-called fighting scene? Eek! Viva☆it is a fighting scene! Ah, is my excitement leaking out?

However, Lotus’ attitude is different as always.

Always, his attitude towards others is like a soft and kind uncle but his attitude to Calendula is superficially polite but rude in intent.

Calendula also gives off a haughty feeling, the room’s atmosphere is strained!

Looking at Calendula closer than before, she has passionate red colour eyes and midnight wavy river-like hair. She is the beauty I thought. Also she has a nice hourglass body, oh my gosh, is she a seductive alien?!!

Adjectives like pheromones or sexy are perfect for her. I cannot deny it is somewhat decadent. Shall I say she is a ennui[1] beauty?

She is slender and tall. I wonder if she is about the same height as me. If this kind of person was to dance, anyone would probably be very captivated~ I can understand a little of the Duke’s feelings.

Dahlia and I see their exchange from the shadow of the pillar, but a short while after Calendula leaves,

“It is now safe”

He said, our bodies loosening at Lotus’s normal soft voice

“As a matter of fact she was not aware it was me~”

I watch the entrance in a imposing stance.

“Yes. Because she could only see a sweet maid”,

Lotus answered with a wry smile.

“Well, Calendula has been warned not to attack you. It is not necessary for her to meet mistress. Because we will deal with it”.

“Got it. Please take care of it……so, Dahlia, room rearranging~!”

““……that switched over quickly……””

Once again Lotus and Dahlia are smiling wryly☆

Authors note:

Thank you for today as well（*＾－＾*）

What I imagine is, Viola is around 169 cm, Calendula is around 170 cm. For woman they are tall☆
