Chapter 23 - Concerning the Evening Party (2/2)

“No! That is unthinkable! There are many still like new dresses that have been prepared here, the dresses I received at the time of the marriage is like a mountain, so a new one would be wasteful!”

Moreover from looking at each and every dress, they are delicate and workmanship has been put it them, in short they are only high-class items using the highest grade fabrics! Although there are new articles, still a further one will be made new?!

This gap in money sense, it’s probably a big deep unfillable crevasse? Giving a sidelong glance to me, who became dumbfounded and protesting, Mimosa delightfully answers,

“Certainly. I will immediately arrange a dressmaker!”

I have never before seen Mimosa smile like this at following the Duke’s instructions!

I am in a daze at Mimosa’s sudden change,  in contrast, the Duke faces Mimosa, giving one satisfied nod, then this time he faces Dahlia in waiting on the other side,

“Having new jewellery made in addition to this would be good. Dahlia, please arrange this”

The Duke carelessly instructed.

“Certainly”

Dahlia also follows the instructions normally.

Nonono, wait a minute! but I don’t remember saying yeah?

“Eh, wai, wait a minute please! Because there is a lot of kinds of jewellery that has yet to be worn!

It is again a curse decision! Squandering I oppoーse!  Waste I oppoーse! Luxury is my opponentー!!

Those three people completely ignore impatient me, and talk about arrangements for merchants. Somehow the position is not reversed like usual? I feel like I have been left behind?

“Ah~[exasperation], I wonder why it is a evening party? I don’t need a new dress!  I rarely use jewellery!!”

I am more angry about this wastefulness than attending the evening party and so on. So this is the rich’s ordinary!

I wiggle on the couch in my room in a huff by myself my anger not being smoothed over.

“Companion-sama is constantly having dresses and jewellery made new, so it would be good if Mistress also does it without reserve! Rather it is good to pester even more”

Looking at Mimosa saying that, she is broadly grinning. Uh huh, is that a black smile?

“Is that so, you know this well”

“Very, it is information from the maid who accompanies Master”

Ooh. An information leak

“Well, the kind of bills also show it”

Dahlia also nonchalantly added. She is expressionless so she is ordinarily scary.

“Is, is that right. Did he always participate evening parties with her?”

I have often said it, but it has been 4 months since the wedding. During this there probably has been a dime a dozen evening parties and such held.

“Yes. However Master is busy with work related things, so even if he participated it was around 2, 3 times in a month”

As expected of Dahlia, as a head maid, she knows the Duke’s schedule very well.

“A evening parties at the royal palace? Did he participate in those with her as well?”

“Still there are social rules, so, so far he has participated alone. Besides evening parties at the royal palace, this time will be the first time after the wedding”

“Is that so”

I nonchalantly chime in with remarks to information I’ve heard for the first time, but there Dahlia and Mimosa came all the way over.

“So, let us make new a dress and jewellery, without fail”

“Let us”

Smile.

Dahlia and Mimosa’s full face smiles are SCARY. I almost fell off the couch at the tempo of their stepping back.
