Chapter 20 - Awkward Dinner (2/2)

While watching over this elegant state of affairs, the next doubt quickly takes place energetically.

……this person, after this what will he do?

Perhaps I think it isn’t just me. Softly looking at Lotus in waiting on the side of the wall, Lotus is shaking his head a little. Dahlia, Mimosa and the rest are the same,

Do I watch over this trend?, or do I ready myself and enquire?

Watching over this while thinking about what’s to be done, the Duke, finishes his tea, puts it in his saucer without any sound,

“Well then, with this, please excuse me.”

Saying this he raised his body. Although the next movement has come, my intelligence is still not sufficient. Perhaps he will retire to his room (there is a study interposing next to opposite the room I use, it is a room for the personal use of the Duke).

“To the detached building, right?”

I asked representing everyone here.

“Yes, that is right,”

The Duke emphasising whether I was bothered about, quickly raised his eyebrow.

Everyone you heard, right~! You heard he will return to the detached building~! Well, thank goodness, thank goodness. If he stayed here like this, my pace of life would be disturbed, how should I put up with it, mumble mumble mumb……

ahem.

Anyway, for the returning to the detached building, everyone goes together to the entrance to see him off.

“Well, then”

To the Duke who is looking over his shoulder in front of the door Lotu is holding open, all the servants present with a face full of smiles,

““““Good night! Master””””

Bowing in 45 times! They give a steady greeting.

“Good night”

Of course I also have a face full of smiles!

“……”

Oh? The Duke made a complicated facial expression, but let’s decide not to have seen it. Like this he turns back and leaves the entrance way.

[sound of door closing]

The door quietly closes. Lotus goes outside for a short while to see him off.

“……that was surprising……”

Tentatively in a low voice, I say.

“Really did. Master doing things like eating dinner here, how many years since he has behaved like this?”

Dahlia also muttered in a low voice.

“I wonder what kind of turn of events there will be “

Mimosa also has a face of wonder.

“Who knows~? Well, it was probably simply on a whim. Aah, I’ve already ended up worn out. Sorry everyone. You probably have yet to have a evening meal? It has already ended so please be at ease”

““““Yes! Thank you very much”””

In the end I do not know why he came to eat dinner, but for now everyone around me is tired so I decided to dismiss them without deep thought.

T/N:

[1] Not exactly sure what the author meant. It could mean she’s been served like a dog, she is not in control of what she gets. Or according to the english thesaurus it could mean she’s being served in a classy or posh way. Not sure which or if it even means either of those

Anyway hope you enjoyed the chapter, see you in the next one!
